    Since it was a full-scale siege, they had to wait for other armies to reach their respective positions and surround Yuezhou City before they could attack the city.  After everyone was in their positions, with an order, the siege began.  The soldiers who attacked from the front mainly attacked the city gate.  Having learned from the past, this time, as soon as they reached the city gate, the soldiers untied the leather bags around their waists and poured all the water on the ground.  One or two people's water seems to have no effect, but if hundreds or thousands of people pour out the water, it will be different.  The ground outside the city gate was instantly soaked. Even if the oil drum was thrown down, it would only explode and the flames would not spread.  In addition, the fire brigade is on standby at any time, with hundreds of barrels of water, and it is still unknown who will win against Li Yuanjing's oil barrels.  Li Yuanjing seemed to have realized that kerosene was of no use. In addition, kerosene was precious and could not be wasted casually. Therefore, Li Yuanjing gave up the kerosene tactics and dispatched more than 300 archers to crowd the city gate tower, either shooting arrows or throwing arrows.  Stones, try to hinder the enemy's attack on the city.  In addition, other frontal city walls were also densely packed with defenders. The enemy and we were shooting at each other. For a while, the sky was filled with arrows, like a rain of arrows.  In addition to the front, the left, right and rear parties also began to attack the city.  Hundreds of ladders were set up on the city wall at the same time. The defenders on top were looking at the head and tail. As soon as this ladder was pushed away, another ladder was put up. In the process of constantly pushing the ladder and setting up the ladder, Datang's soldiers  The soldiers also began to gradually climb up the city wall.  Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yuanjing waved his hand, and the messengers around him shouted: "Archers, prepare!" With the order, a large black group of archers appeared inside the city wall. At a glance, there were five or six thousand archers.  people.  These five or six thousand archers had no orders at all. They just drew their bows and fired. The arrows crossed the wall, in the manner of "a blind cat meets a dead mouse".  Shoot at the Tang soldiers outside the city.  If Wei Hong discovered this tactic at the scene, he would definitely feel that it was familiar.  This was the "Golden Mountain Pressure" tactic he had used in Mazong Mountain. He never thought that Li Yuanjing would learn from it.  These five or six thousand archers fired one shot after another, not pursuing accuracy, but only pursuing speed.  As soon as the arrows at his feet were shot, soldiers immediately replenished them with a large bundle of arrows. Behind the archers' formation, there were several carts loaded with arrows waiting.  Not only Wei Hong knew about Yuezhou City's current disadvantages, but Li Yuanjing himself also knew about it.  Since the troops from other states and counties cannot move.  The arrow can always move, right?  So all the arrows from other states and counties were transported to Yuezhou.  The truth has been fulfilled again: "Everything is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages."  This tactic of Jinshan overwhelming not only allowed Datang to keep Mazong Mountain, but also caused Datang to suffer a huge loss in this battle.  Outside the city, the soldiers who were waiting to climb up the ladder saw black arrows flying outward from their heads. They were unable to dodge, and countless people were killed and injured in a short time.  However, the experienced veteran quickly discovered the opportunity to survive.  If this archery only pursues speed and keeps shooting.  It will soon become an inertial motion.  The strength used remains the same and the aiming direction remains unchanged. Therefore, each archer will create a 'ballistic path' unique to him.  This way.  Where the previous arrow landed, so will the next arrow.  Veterans with rich combat experience will stand wherever there are few arrows.  Except for a few arrows here and there that passed by, he felt at ease.  But in the final analysis, as long as there are veterans in the army, there are new recruits.  The number of new recruits is often unmatched by the veterans.  After being shot by so many arrows, the speed of the attack slowed down. The soldiers who were the first to climb the city wall did not receive timely support and could only be surrounded and killed by numerous defenders. In the end, it evolved into a fueling tactic.  As many as come up will die.  The battle lasted from noon to night. Although both the enemy and ourselves suffered heavy losses, there was still no sign of the city falling.  Yin Kaishan couldn't sit still. He was worried that if this continued, he would wipe out all the main force, so he prepared to order the withdrawal of troops.  Wei Hong refused to die and begged: "General manager, as long as you persist, the city will be destroyed! There are not many defenders in Yuezhou City, so they can't hold on for long! If such a withdrawal gives Li Yuanjing a chance to breathe, he wants to capture it again  The city is even more difficult! "Yin Kaishan is not a fool, but he made the mistake that many famous generals make. At critical moments, he blindly believes in his own feelings and cannot listen to what others say.  No matter how hard Wei Hong tried to persuade, Yin Kaishan finally ordered the withdrawal of troops.  After receiving this order, Wei Hong became angry. He slammed the table and shouted, "I'll continue to take care of the logistics!" Like Wei Hong, Yuezhou City could no longer be defended.  There are not many guards in Yuezhou City, so by playing with intelligence and strategy, Li Yuanjing can kill the Tang army!  But if the war started across the board, not just imaginary, but all real, then Li Yuanjing would have no choice but to mobilize all the defenders in the army as much as possible to defend the city with all their strength.  The combat quality of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was much higher than that of the defenders in the city. Even though the Tang army suffered heavy casualties during the siege, which was unavoidable in any fortified battle, as long as a soldier climbed upA wall can stir up chaos in the defenders and make them exhausted to deal with it.  As a result, Yin Kaishan was ready to abandon Yuezhou when he withdrew his troops. Li Yuanjing, who was retreating to the second line, was also dumbfounded. He didn't react for a long time and sighed: "What's going on? The Tang Army was about to win, why did it suddenly give up?"  Since the confrontation between the two armies, Yin Kaishan has been led by Li Yuanjing. It was not until today that Yin Kaishan regained 10%, allowing Li Yuanjing to feel confused again!  What a pity, it has no significance for the war effort.  The army withdrew and fought for a day, losing more than 8,000 people.  As soon as the army withdrew, Li Yuanjing ordered the defenders to repair the city gates, organize armaments, and dispatch troops and horses from the prefectures and counties in the rear to Yuezhou City.  What Wei Hong said is true at all. Once this army withdraws, it will be difficult to capture Yuezhou again!  "It looks like we are about to be captured. Why did we withdraw?" As soon as he came back, Cheng Zhijie was so angry that he wanted to write a letter to Comrade Lao Li immediately and remove Yin Kaishan from his position as general manager.  This battle was so frustrating!  In fact, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Yin Kaishan. After all, Yin Kaishan is in the rear. How the front line is fighting can only be known from the ordering soldiers.  As a result, the former messenger said that there were heavy casualties and it would be difficult to capture; the latter messenger was still halfway there with the news that it was "about to be captured".  Yin Kaishan could only believe the words of the former messenger and hastily withdraw his troops to preserve the main force.  (To be continued)
