Chapter 283 Li Kuo's Decision

On this side of the battlefield west of Songhe City, this agonizing siege is still going on. Under the city wall, a large number of corpses are constantly accumulating, and the battle on the wall is even more fierce. The dark red blood is almost dying. Paint the entire wall a new color.

In the distance, the hand that Li Kuo was holding on the hilt of the sword had turned ashen because of too much force. The number of corpses piled up under the city wall has reached a shocking amount. Numbers, however, Jiang Wei's side has been silent for a long time. He is basically certain in his heart that Jiang Wei is probably in an accident, which can't help but put more pressure on Li Kuo.

Zhou Dongnan's order was to capture Songhe City in one breath before sunset, but the situation is now repeated. First, Jiang Wei had an accident, and he failed to attack the east wall of Songhe City as planned, and then the defender of the west wall. The general is really tenacious, occupying the top of the wall, and he is actually fighting with him until now...

One side was His Majesty's order, and the other side was the situation in front of him. This bad situation made Li Kuo feel a dilemma for a while. Who knew that at this moment, the closed gate of Songhe City in the distance slowly rose.

This obviously exceeded Li Kuo's expectations. When the soldiers near the city gate of Songhe City saw the gate open, they thought that the top of the wall of Songhe City had been occupied by their people, and subconsciously rushed inside. , but unexpectedly waiting for them are dozens of sharp spears! The group of soldiers who rushed in front were stabbed to death on the spot by those dozens of spears before they could see clearly!

At the same time, a uniform sound of footsteps came from behind the city gate. The sound of those steps was heavy and powerful, and it kept hitting everyone's heart, bringing a lot of psychological pressure to the enemy outside the city gate. .

Li Kuo, who was in the distance, looked intently, and saw that the other party opened the way with spearmen, followed by a large number of shield and axe soldiers, advancing at the same pace in a rigorous army formation.

"What does the other party want to do? They actually took the initiative to go out of the city to meet them?" Li Kuo frowned when he saw this battle. The battle had reached this point. Although he failed to directly capture the wall of Xia Songhe City, according to the whole battle situation, His military strength still has a fairly obvious advantage. At this time, the defending generals of the other side will send infantry troops out of the city to meet them, which will inevitably lead to a decline in the garrison strength on the city wall of Songhe City. Isn't he afraid that the city wall will fall?

Of course, from the enemy's point of view, Li Kuo wished that the other party made a serious mistake, so that he could capture the city wall in one breath, so of course, he would also pay close attention to the movement on the other side of the city gate.

At a glance, the number of troops advancing forward was at least 500. Li Kuo was overjoyed to see that once this force was taken away, he would not believe that the opposite side would still be able to defend the city wall!

With this thought in mind, just when Li Kuo was about to force the soldiers to rush against the wall again, the picture that continued to catch his eyes in the distance made the joy on his face gradually disappear...

"How is that possible? There are more than 500 troops pushed forward?!" The army formation was still advancing! The opponent was obviously using a slow-attack approach. Relying on the advantage of the length of the spearmen, they maintained the formation of the spears. A breathing effort opened up a living space.

Then, looking at the number of enemy troops that had completely shot out from the city gate, Li Kuo's face changed completely, and he quickly looked up to confirm the situation on the city wall in the distance, but found that the defending soldiers on the other side's city wall basically did not decrease, "No. , It's impossible, it's impossible! What are you kidding? How come there are so many troops on the opposite side?!"

The huge pressure on Li Kuo's body made Li Kuo's entire brain directly into a mess. The siege battle has been fought so far, and he basically knows how many troops the opponent has to defend the city. However, this infantry unit that has been launched all the way, the number of troops. But it was at least a thousand people!

Holding his forehead with one hand, with that gloomy face on his face, Li Kuo tried to sort out the mess of thoughts in his mind, and then, as if thinking of something, his expression suddenly changed, "We are dividing our troops, and the other party is also dividing our troops. ?!"

Li Kuo, who came to this conclusion, twitched his heart violently, "Their army was divided into two parts at the beginning, and the one who was in charge of garrisoning Songhe City was only part of it from beginning to end, and the other one. Part of it is doing other things..."

"Ambush Jiang Wei?!" At this moment, the more Li Kuo thought about it, the more ugly his face became, and his whole heart kept sinking, "And now, the troops that ambushed Jiang Wei have returned, that Jiang Wei Did he..."

Li Kuo didn't dare to think about it any longer, this was simply a nightmare! At the same time, the Songhe City in front of him also seemed to have transformed into an ancient giant beast at this moment, becoming hideous and terrifying!

"Quick! Destroy all the wheels of the siege tower, and then the entire army retreats!!" His strength advantage is gone, and if he continues to fight, it is estimated that he will have to pay a heavy price! As a moderate-minded general, Li Kuo never liked to make impulsive decisions. According to his idea, he would first preserve his troops and withdraw to Shangyuan City, then fight a wave of defensive battles to stabilize his position, and wait until after regrouping. Looking for opportunities to counterattack is a good strategy.

At the same time, before retreating, he issued an order to destroy all the wheels of the siege tower, because he knew very well, just as much as the siege tower, pushing the siege tower, basically don't want to leave, this can also be said to be pretending One of the major flaws caused by so many bronze armor plates, after all, this defensive power is acquired by sacrificing speed.

In this way, the siege tower can't be brought back, but if you stay here, you will undoubtedly lose the enemy in vain. At that time, if the enemy pushes this siege tower to attack his Shangyuan City, then The fun is great, so before leaving, you must destroy all the wheels!

With the sound of the retreat horn, the siege army of Shangyuan City began to retreat. Zhao Pan asked his troops to retreat after a symbolic chase for a distance.

Because of this battle, Luo Ji was transferred back to support his infantry unit, but they had already fought two battles in a row, and couldn't even catch their breath in the middle. The physical strength of the soldiers had to be taken into consideration.

At the same time, the opponent was not beaten and fled by them, but retreated in an organized manner. In other words, the opponent still has the strength to fight, and if they catch up, there is basically no hope that the opponent will be severely damaged, and it will only increase casualties. is not necessary.

On the Songhe City side, when Li Kuo's siege army withdrew, the entire siege battle could be said to have come to an end temporarily, while on the other side, the chasing battle between Guo Zhen and Jiang Wei was not so easy. ended……
