The dust from the collapsed city wall spread very quickly, and the Xia army outside the city also saw that the collapsed city wall was more than 100 meters long.

The gap is located on the right side of the city gate. There is no such thing as a city gate tower in this world. The city gate is a hole opened in the city wall.

If there is a gap in the city wall, it will be much easier to expand the gap later. As long as you continue to attack the city walls on the left and right of the gap, it will be very easy to tread.

This is what is called the destruction of a thousand-mile dike in an ant hole, and moreover, there is more than a small ant hole, but a gap of more than 100 meters.

After the siege artillery collapsed the city wall, it did not stop and continued to bombard the undefeated city walls on both sides, expanding the gap.

"Don't stop the siege artillery, continue to attack." After seeing the enemy's city wall collapsed one after another, Di Qing did not order the siege artillery to continue to attack.

Since Di Qing learned that the enemy had a fortress, he would definitely prevent it in advance. How could Xia Kingdom, such a large fortress in the north, not know?

Especially after the intelligence personnel knew that all the soldiers stationed in the fortress were the enemy's elite, it was impossible for them to relax their vigilance in this regard. The enemy reinforcements came to the aid and were naturally discovered by the scouts of the Xia Kingdom.

Di Qing and Lu Su could not break through the enemy city within one or two days, so he discussed and decided to siege the city and attack the aid.

This tactic was first made by Lu Su, the staff officer. After Di Qing nodded in agreement, Zhang Wei would implement it in detail.

Specifically, it is changed from attacking the enemy's southern city to attacking the enemy's western city, so as to change the attack direction at any time.

Then let the cavalry line up outside the northern city to block the enemy's reinforcements, so that the enemies in the city know that Xia Kingdom already knew that they had reinforcements.

Then the main soldiers outside the West City lurked to the north at night and raided on both sides of the road.

In order to let the enemy know that the army outside the West City was the main force of the Xia Kingdom, the militia were allowed to line up outside the city and also protected the thirty-six siege artillery.

As for the field artillery after attacking the enemy's city head for a day, the enemy successfully prevented them from coming to the city head again, and even the gunpowder on the city wall was buried. Therefore, these artillery were also transferred to the northern road to set up an ambush together.

The last thing left is just waiting for the enemy's elite reinforcements to come to your door

This tactic was proposed by Lu Su. According to Lu Su's words, "Let the cavalry act under the enemy's nose and block the enemy's reinforcements in order to relieve the enemy's reinforcements."

The reinforcements would not be too vigilant when they came to the aid. They believed that the Xia Kingdom was just using cavalry to stop them, and the other soldiers were still outside the city, so they would not have thought that there would be a wave of ambushes on the way.

After all, the enemy's elites came to support, so they still need to prepare for it. The lion fights with the rabbit with all his strength. Di Qing and the others do not want to fail in the last step because of their pride and complacent.

So in case of prevention, the gunpowder buried at the base of the wall becomes the final backup to attack the enemy city.

Although it was a little troublesome, with multiple preparations, Di Qing and the others had their own ways to deal with it. They were full of confidence in occupying this city.

Sure enough, the ambush was completed that night, and after dawn, the enemy's reinforcements arrived as scheduled

"Report to General Zhang, General Di ordered the operation of Dawn to begin." The "Action of Dawn" mentioned by the messenger to Zhang Wei was the name Di Qing gave for this plan.

This operation is not just about besieging the city and attacking aid, but also about a series of actions that follow.

After being instructed to start the operation, Zhang Wei immediately ordered "All cavalry, start moving forward."

The cavalry lined up outside the North City to attack, and the location was not in the north, but in the west outside the enemy's north city, so Zhang Wei pointed the arrow of the arrow formation to the east.

In this way, he can easily deal with the enemy's reinforcements, whether it is the enemy's rushing out of the city or the enemy's reinforcements.

Continue to take the lead and turn the direction. All the cavalry ran an arc outside the city, turning their backs to the Shangdao City, and charged towards the enemy who came to the northern Shangdao to aid.

The enemy knights who came to reinforce the army led 10,000 elite infantrymen. After turning a corner, they could see the walls of the Shangdao City.

But when he turned around, he saw a cavalry charged towards them.

"Retreat the bend, array defense" The Knight immediately asked the army to retreat and array defense behind the bend.

From the commands of this knight, it can be seen that he is a defensive commander.

After retreating back to the bend and arraying for defense, the soldiers can not only experience the shock of the cavalry charge without intuitively, but also use this bend to reduce the impact speed of the enemy cavalry. This command can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, this knight did not expect that although he was smart, he did not know that all his actions were calculated clearly by the commander of Xia State.

Because the commander in charge of fortress defense is definitely a defensive person, after seeing the cavalry's charge, he will definitely use this curve to defend.

In this way, the reinforcements completely fell into Di Qing and the others' hands and could not turn over.

A shout of "Start Attack" sounded from the enemy's heads.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of enemies emerged from both sides of the road, attacking their heads, and behind them, which were completely unprepared.

Arrows covered the hills on both sides of the road, and the roar of artillery sounded.

"ah"

"There is an ambush"

"The enemy is above"

After being ambushed by Xia's army, the enemy became in chaos immediately, but then

"Why are you panicing to defend yourself? There are not many enemies?" After pushing away a bow and arrow, the enemy knight shouted loudly.

This army is worthy of being an elite. After a while of chaos, it quickly gathered again to form several circular defensive formations.

In addition to the attack of artillery, these enemy troops that formed the circular array did not cause much damage to them with good weapons and equipment.

Di Qing stood on the top of the mountain, looking at these enemy formations that looked like turtles, and frowned again.

Although I received information that this was an elite force, I didn't expect that it was so elite. Although there were many people in the past, the enemy troops were completely scrambled to the same level as the enemy.

Whether it is weapons and equipment or the will to fight, this 10,000 enemy army can be said to be the most elite army encountered by Xia Kingdom.

But then Di Qing's eyes turned cold and ordered "Move the artillery forward and press the entire army forward."

He didn't believe that no matter how elite the army was, would it be more elite than the Xia army?

Although the ambush has not caused the enemy to be confused for very long, even if we are short-soldiers, it is better than letting these elite enemies enter the city.
