Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 248 Chapter 248
"Why?"

Dumoli asked a little puzzled.

"Currently, the Kushan camp is guarding the west of the city. The Shu army has no way to escape. Otherwise, we can take the opportunity to send troops to attack their camp. The Shu army is very smart and will not do such a thing."

"As for the east of our city, there are more than [-] people stationed there, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, we only need to guard inside the city. They will not be able to break through for a while."

"They use this method to correct, nothing more than to make us angry, and then go to the challenge. In this case, we will not fall into their tricks."

After listening to Raton say these things, Du Moli finally understood what was going on, and slowly calmed down. He was indeed too impulsive just now, and should not be disturbed by the enemy and lost his ability to judge.

"Fortunately, you are here, and everything will be done as you say."

Hummery nodded and said.

"Yes."

While Tumori and Raton were discussing countermeasures, Li Ke led people to call for battle outside Xiping City. If the other party refused to fight, they would have no way to fight easily.

The defenses of Xiping City are strong, and it is difficult for them to confront them head-on, so Li Ke came up with this strategy, trying to use the aggressive method to draw the opponent out, and then wipe them all out.

But he didn't want the opposite party to miss the trick at all, and refused to come out for a long time. In a blink of an eye, it was getting late, and Li Ke had no choice but to lead his subordinates to evacuate first.

When Chou Nuer came back and saw Li Ke frowning, he knew that this time it must not be so smooth. He didn't say anything, but helped Li Ke take off his helmet and armor meekly.

"Your Highness, what should we do next? They seem to have shown no sign of fighting."

Ugly Nuer didn't have a reason, but Gu Wu still spoke.

"Tomorrow, we will continue to fight outside the city gate until they go out to fight. Anyway, it is only a matter of time before Xiping City is captured. We don't need to worry. If we continue to develop like this, there will come a day when they will not be able to calm down and come out to fight."

Li Ke replied.

Although it didn't go well today, he didn't seem to give up. After all, such a strategy is the best for them now, and of course he won't give up directly because of today's failure.

At least it will take a while. After all, this is the time to test the mentality of both of them, and the one who can't support it first will fail.

Gu Wu didn't understand what Li Ke said, as long as it was an order from Li Ke, he would obey it.

"Yes."

So early the next morning, Li Ke led the Shu army to call for battle outside the gate of Xiping City, and did not return to the camp until sunset to recuperate. Urgent, but there is nothing to do with them.

After several days of this situation, Gu Wu came over with a bad news.

"Your Highness, there is the latest news from the spy we sent."

"what?"

Li Ke was still looking at the map, but immediately asked after hearing the news.

"A detailed investigation found that a team of nearly 25 people is heading towards Xiping City, and it will be here soon. They are led by a general from Tuyuhun, and they should be here to support Xiping City."

Li Ke hadn't thought about it before, someone might come to support, and there was still an army of 25. The current situation was very unfavorable to them. If this continued, they might not be able to take Xiping City.

"Your Highness is currently in a critical situation. We have to think of countermeasures earlier. Maybe the other party does not fight because they are waiting for reinforcements."

Gu Wu suggested.

"However, according to the current situation, it is not easy for us to do it directly."

Of course Li Ke knew that the situation was critical, but if they had a way to directly confront them, they wouldn't have to fight outside the city all the time.

"If that's the case, we might as well go around to the west of the city and attack them. We have sent people to investigate before. The wall in the west of the city is low and not strong. It should be easier to break through if we attack from that side."

This is indeed the best idea at the moment, but Li Ke knows that this matter is not that simple.

"Although it seems that the west side of the city is easy to break through, the distance between the west and the east of the city is very far. If we transfer all the main forces away from the east of the city and go to the west of the city to attack the Kushan camp, they can escape from the east of the city and go there. At that time, we will not be able to catch up with them, and this battle will be lost."

After all, Li Ke's goal is to take down Xiping City. If the opponent escapes, it may be difficult to have a chance. In addition, they already have reinforcements rushing here. If the two armies join forces, it will be even more troublesome for him. .

Hearing what Li Ke said, Gu Wu felt that it was the same reason, and suddenly he had no choice.

"Then what shall we do?"

"let me see……"

Li Ke took the map while thinking about it, and after serious thinking for a while, he finally found a breakthrough point. There is a solution that seems feasible, but there are still certain risks. He needs to try it first.

"Maybe we can do this..."

After Li Ke finished talking about his true strategy with them, Gu Wu did not follow what Li Ke said.

Immediately thereafter, a mighty team set out to attack the west gate, and the leader was Gu Wu.

After some discussion, they finally decided to attack the West Gate first, because the defense of the West Gate was indeed a little weak. They said that they wanted to solve it as soon as possible, and the opponent might only start from the West Gate.

Being in the east city all the time, this strong attack cannot break through their defenses, not to mention they have thunderbolts and kerosene bombs in their hands, so there is no need to worry at all, there is no way to deal with them.

The distance between the West City Gate and the East City Gate is a bit far. Gu Wu set off with his troops overnight and arrived at the West City Gate before dawn.

After arriving outside the West City Gate, Gu Wu directly ordered to do it.

They first used kerosene bombs to start the fire. At this moment, the defenders of the Kushan camp didn't know what was happening outside. They didn't realize that there was a fire outside until thick smoke rose.

"Quick! You guys lead some people to put out the fire! The rest of you will be on guard with me! If you find the enemy, report it immediately!"

The generals of the defenders were not fools either. It was impossible for the west gate to catch fire for no reason. The sudden fire must have been caused by the invasion of the enemy.

What was strange to them, however, was that they did not see the enemy.

In fact, Gu Wu had already made preparations a long time ago. They didn't plan to confront the opponent head-on this time, but wanted to temporarily hide their figure and sneak into the west gate of the city.

Then use Hongtian Lei to make a sneak attack, which will make them busy and their chances of winning will be greater.

Therefore, Gu Wu only brought a small team and approached the west gate of the city. This time, most of the people he brought stayed within a certain range of the west gate of the city. Someone came over.
