Chapter 78
Hearing the voice, Bris looked closely and planned to take a closer look at what Feng Guo, the newly appointed border guard, looked like, and could actually reorganize such a "crazy" border army into such a brave and good warfare.
However, the distance between the two sides was still too far, and it was heard by shouting loudly, but even if his eyesight was good, he still only looked at the outline.
He didn't dare to step forward easily, but stood there and said loudly:
"General Lu! I believe you know the bravery of my Tusi warrior! Now, my Tusi has even raised 200,000 troops to attack the wind! Yesterday's battle was just a small test! If you know yourself, you should turn on and off the city immediately to avoid being miserable!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "Haha! The barbarian army led by you is really brave! He can be defeated by the city with 200,000 people! He can't advance in an instant! Now, he still dares to speak loudly here! Isn't that ridiculous!?"
His words were obviously mocking Brees, who, after hearing this, burst into anger and said:
"General Lu! You really want to compete with my 200,000 army with just tens of thousands of defenders!? Isn't this a mantis arm to kill a chariot and destroy himself? Even if General Lu doesn't think about himself, he should think about the soldiers under his command. Do you want to take such a person to be buried with you? This commander can guarantee that if General Lu is willing to surrender, he will treat him with courtesy, and the soldiers under General Lu can save their lives!"
Although Bris said this, his purpose was obviously not to persuade him to surrender. Of course, he knew that even if Feng Jun was killed and fled everywhere, he would not be able to surrender!
The real purpose is to attack the heart, and the target is not Lu Chen, but the many Feng army soldiers on the city wall.
Lu Chen is so smart, how could he not see Brees’s thoughts? He sneered and said:
"Commander Bris, you have said so much, are you trying to attack my soldiers' hearts? That official can tell you! You can deceive ghosts! But if you want to shake the morale of our army, you are undoubtedly a fool! My strong soldier! I am a strong man! I am a greedy person who is afraid of death! How can you wait for the barbarians to destroy your homeland!"
"Hmph! Lu Chen! If you don't surrender, when the city breaks, no chickens and dogs will stay!"
"With us waiting for the strong winds here! I'm afraid I can't get into the wind for half a step!"
"Lu Chen! Do you really ignore the lives and deaths of your soldiers?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Didn't you claim to have 200,000 extremely brave barbarians? Then let's see the truth from behind!"
The two of them, one in the city and the other under the city, said one by one, and in the end, Brees understood that there was no need to continue talking.
Today's conversation with Lu Chen has made him know that Feng Guo, the new county magistrate, is probably not such a simple role.
But he had no choice but to order the city to continue to attack, because when he came from Tus, he promised the king that he had attacked Pingzhou in one fell swoop, forcing Feng Kingdom to take the initiative to seek peace. But now, he is trapped under Wuguan City, how could he go back just now!
After Bris turned his horse's head and returned to his own camp, the barbarian attack began.
The fierce battle this day was more fierce than yesterday!
Bris is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of Tuss. He knew the sharpness of the large-scale arrow formation of the Feng Army. Therefore, when he attacked the city, he transformed more than 170,000 barbarian troops into several echelons.
Each echelon is composed of ten thousand barbarians, taking turns to fight.
At the beginning, Lu Chen symbolically released two rounds of arrow formations. When the third round of arrow formations, he asked the soldiers to replace them with damaged arrow branches that had been prepared.
After the third round of arrows of the Feng Army came down, the barbarian army's charge camp did not have large-scale casualties like the previous two times.
Seeing this, Bris, who was in charge of the barbarian army, immediately stood up from the chariot and said to the side general next to him: "Hurry up! Go and see what's going on!"
The general discovered this situation just now. He heard this and immediately rode his horse to the front line. After a while, he brought the news back and said, "Mr. Commander, General Ms., went to investigate in person. He found that the Feng Army's arrow formation just now used some damaged arrows, which could not cause any greater harm to our army!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"That's right! Judging from the last days, the Feng Army must have exhausted the arrows, so we have to use the old armaments from the past! Commander! Now is a great opportunity for our army to attack in full swing! If we take turns to attack the city in 10,000 echelons, the troops will be too small, and it will be difficult to break through the Wu Pass in a short time!"
Upon hearing this, Bris's eyes flashed. The reason why he divided the entire army into several echelons was to effectively avoid large-scale casualties under the Fengjun Arrow Formation, and wanted to use the advantage of all his troops to exhaust the Fengjun Arrow Branch!
Now, the Fengjun's arrow branches are insufficient. Without the suppression of large-scale arrow formations, the entire army of our side will join us, and we are still afraid that we will not be able to break the Wuguan City Defense!?
How could Brees give up such an opportunity? As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shouted without saying a word and said, "Transfer our military orders! The whole army attacked!"
"Yes!" The stern general responded with a trembling voice, and then immediately conveyed Bris's military order quickly!
"Woo-Woo-Woo-"
The sound of the trumpet of the attack of the entire barbarian army sounded again.
But soon, Feng Jun’s arrow formation arrived again!
This time, it was not a broken arrow branch, but a deadly carved feather!
Even the commander-in-chief Bris thought that the Feng Army's arrow branches had been exhausted, let alone the barbarians below. Many barbarians were too lazy to raise their shields to defend when charging, but when they knew they were wrong, it was too late!
The Fengjun's arrow formation was more sharp than yesterday. Wherever he passed, there was no armor left, and the death toll of the barbarian army was tens of thousands.
Oh! I was fooled! Brees, who was commanding the overall situation in the rear, screamed in anger when he saw this. He pointed his sword at Wuguan and roared angrily:
"What a treacherous thief!!!"
"Refer to... Commander, our army suffered heavy casualties. Now... what should we do now..." The general who had just proposed the entire army to attack saw Brees like this and asked cautiously.
"What else can I do! Retreat!" Brees roared with grinning.
At the beginning of the siege of the next day, Bris took turns to attack the city with tens of thousands of people as his echelons, which was bloody, even more miserable than yesterday. If he had been insisting on taking turns to attack, he would not be able to say who would win or lose until the end.
But he was caught by Lu Chen's plan to lure the enemy, resulting in heavy casualties, and he had no choice but to withdraw his troops again.
In today's war, not only did the barbarian army suffer more than 40,000 casualties, but even the Feng army soldiers who had strong city defenses as a supporter had almost exceeded 10,000 casualties.
The 200,000 barbarian troops who were aggressive when they came have lost less than 130,000.
At this time, Brees no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning. In addition to the food and grass problem, he had already planned to withdraw his troops... (To be continued)
