When the number of corpses reaches a certain level, you can set fire to the corpses when the rebels rush over, and stop them from advancing. Of course, this is also the last resort.
Burning corpses would also burn the city walls, which would be detrimental to them and might even cause them to collapse. This move should never be used unless absolutely necessary.
As the battlefield was cleared, Zhang Cheng's face looked unhappy.
At this time, Zhang Zhongmou also came up from the bottom of the city. He came to Zhang Cheng and asked, "Are you okay?"
"My lord, it's okay." Zhang Cheng shook his head and said.
However, his face was somewhat frustrated, and he said hesitantly: "In the last round, we lost more than 700 people, more than 400 were seriously injured, and even more were slightly injured."
"There are only 5,000 soldiers in the city. If we fight a few more times, we won't be able to hold on. Sir, we need to let the young and strong men in the city come up to defend the city." Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Zhongmou and said in a low voice.
Zhang Zhongmou didn't expect that they would be unable to hold on so soon. It was only the first round. Was he going to mobilize the young and strong men to defend the city?
But Zhang Zhongmou also knew that this was something that had to be done as a last resort. Since Zhang Cheng brought it up now, it really was time to do it as a last resort.
Outside the city, in the enemy camp.
An Bangyan's face did not look very good at this time. In this round of charge, he actually lost more than 3,000 people. This loss was really too great.
He didn't expect the Ming army to be so strong. It was just a Bijie city, but he could afford the loss.
Looking at Bijie City, An Bangyan said, "Change people and send more people up."
"I just don't believe it. If they can withstand one wave, can they withstand another? Go up, go up, and we'll defeat them with a few more attacks."
In fact, An Bangyan didn't have any better solution and could only use this method to attack Bijie City.
Bijie City is a small city, and holding on is impossible. As long as you are willing to sacrifice, you will definitely be able to take them down.
Only by taking down Bijie City and letting other chieftains see hope will they follow me. So now is not the time to retreat, I have no way out.
After hearing An Bangyan's words, some people gathered their troops and launched another charge towards Bijie City.
They rushed up, waving knives and howling.
A hundred miles away from Bijie City, Yuan Keli was leading his men forward, accompanied by Li Biao and Zhang Yanfang.
Zhang Yanfang felt okay with this forced march.
But Li Biao could no longer hold on. His beard was messy and his face looked haggard. Sitting on the horse, he seemed a little unstable.
On the contrary, the elderly Yuan Keli seemed to feel nothing at this time.
Yuan Keli rode his horse to Li Biao's side and said helplessly, "If you can't do it, don't force it. I told you to go back to Guiyang a long time ago, but you insisted on coming with me."
Li Biao said helplessly, "I'm old, and my body isn't as strong anymore. But I still want to follow you, and I can hold on."
Yuan Keli shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay."
He didn't know how to persuade Li Biao.
In reality, Li Biao felt he had to follow. He was actually worried about Yuan Keli. Yes, he was worried about Yuan Keli.
After spending some time together, Li Biao realized one thing: neither Yuan Keli nor the recently departed Sun Chuanting knew that An Bangyan would rebel.
Although they had given many reasons before, they were still not sure in their hearts. The reason why they split up the troops and sent people here was only one reason, that is, An Bangyan was an unstable person.
Once the army entered Sichuan, if An Bangyan rebelled, Guizhou would be in trouble. For Yuan Keli and Sun Chuanting, Guizhou must not have any problems, so An Bangyan became a problem that had to be solved.
Yuan Keli brought his men here not so much because he was afraid that An Bangyan would rebel, but rather to solve this problem.
As for the solution, Li Biao had actually already thought of it.
The simplest one is that An Bangyan has no intention of rebelling, so just follow him. His men will stay and take your people away, or even split you up, until they feel there is no threat anymore.
As for the more difficult one, that is, if An Bangyan rebelled, he would be killed directly. This is what Li Biao was worried about, because he felt that An Bangyan would not obey him obediently.
If he went too far, An Bangyan would definitely rebel. After dealing with An Bangyan, it would definitely leave a mess behind.
By then, Sun Chuanting and Yuan Keli would have accomplished great things and would have walked away. Wasn't this mess Li Biao's fault?
What should I do then?
So Li Biao had to follow so that he could stop Yuan Keli if he did anything excessive.
If An Bangyan rebelled, he also hoped that Yuan Keli would not escalate the matter. Otherwise, things here would be difficult to handle in the future.
Although Yuan Keli could guess what Li Biao was thinking, he didn't care. The reason was very simple, because Yuan Keli knew that Li Biao's idea was right.
I'm here to eliminate this threat. An Bangyan must be dealt with this time, no matter what method is used. This matter is not about right or wrong, but only about position.
Just as Yuan Keli was pondering this, there was a sudden commotion ahead. Then someone rode a horse and galloped towards him.
Looking at the person who came, Yuan Keli frowned.
The man looked so dusty and exhausted, it was obvious that he was here to report news.
The man came before Yuan Keli and Li Biao, saluted from his horse, and said, "Sir, An Bangyan has rebelled! He is now besieging Bijie, and Bijie has sent people to ask for help."
