But Ling Xiao did not dare to act rashly, because if he could not conquer Banshan City with minimal losses, even if Banshan City was captured, he would not be able to stop the reinforcements later. By then, this war would be meaningless to Ling Xiao and Moon City, and it would not be worth the loss.
"Everyone! Now Banshan City cannot stand firm. If reinforcements from the rear arrive, our army will either be in a double-team state or can only retreat to Moon City. Do you have any good ideas?"
Ling Xiao couldn't think of any quick and effective way, so he simply gathered his advisers to discuss. It is always good to brainstorm, and even if he doesn't have a good idea, discussing it may give him some inspiration.
"Although the enemy troops in Banshan City are all new recruits, there are 30,000 people after all! If we fight head-on, even if our soldiers take advantage of the army, they will not be able to defeat them in a short time!" The guard expressed his point of view without hesitation.
The implication is that if you want to fight slowly, you will only have a surprising plan to take effect.
"Let's better introduce the situation of the enemy first!" Ling Xiao saw that the generals under his seat did not fully agree with the opinions of the defender, so he prepared to ask the defender in charge of the military intelligence to introduce the situation of the enemy and us.
"No!" The guard took the order, and he knew that it was too direct to say that just now.
"The enemy's commander is the lord of Banshan City. This person is mediocre, but he is still a little self-aware. After seeing our army stationed at the border, he gave up the offensive plan he had prepared and retreated to Banshan City. Banshan City is quite far from the foot of the mountain, but it just blocked the road to the south. There are not many equipment to guard the village, but after many days of reinforcement, the city defense is comparable to an ordinary city! In addition, Banshan City can conquer the 30,000 defenders in the city, which is quite difficult to conquer immediately! In addition, Banshan City can ask for help from neighboring cities at any time. So no matter what, we have to sweep the fun as soon as possible!" The guard said slowly.
The guard has just finished analyzing the situation, and the general next to the account has expressed his opinion.
"Haha! What's the difficulty? We have a lot of equipment to attack this time. Sir, please give Lao Zhang five thousand troops. In less than three days, you can defeat the Banshan City to see you!" Old Zhang hates listening to pre-war analysis and other things. He didn't pay much attention to the words of the defenders just now, but he just heard that Banshan City was very strong. He felt that Moon City had great changes, and its military strength had been increased by several levels. It was no longer the weak army of the past, so he immediately asked for battle excitedly.
"Old Zhang didn't want to mess around. Didn't you hear the terrain of Banshan City just now? If you could capture it with 5,000 troops, how could you discuss it so much!" Ling Xiao scolded.
Although Old Zhang is more brave, he likes to rush around and hurts his enemies even if he hurts them for 1,000 times. However, after he said this, he suddenly had a little inspiration in his mind.
Hearing Ling Xiao’s scolding, Lao Zhang immediately said nothing. Lao Zhang was respectful and afraid of this master who changed Moon City.
"If it is Muzhai, we can still attack fire. This Banshan City is a stone village, but it is quite troublesome!" said the guard general, touching his short beard.
"If time is not too fast, we can intercept the messenger from Banshan City and pretend to be reinforcements and trick the village door!" someone said.
Although the generals of Moon City are now all confident and eager to try, they do not have many combat classics after all, and they are all defending the city army. Compared with the combat troops, their strategies and strategies are far different.
"No! Even if you ride alone here, it will take seven or eight days to travel back and forth. For the army, it will be impossible to arrive in less than ten days! But our other fronts can only last for another five or six days at most!" The guard general rejected.
Ling Xiao looked at the people in the seat, only the lord of Moon City looked like he was not surprised or happy.
"City Lord! Do you have a good plan?"
The strategy and strategy of the Moon City Lord are both good, but he has little practical experience. After all, his Moon City is weak all year round, and even he can't find a good place to display. If he hadn't met Ling Xiao, it would have been obvious that he had protected Moon City with his ability for so many years, so he could be said to be the target Ling Xiao wanted to focus on development.
"Haha! Sir! Although it is difficult to directly attack such a city, there is no way to do it!" The Lord of Moon City smiled.
"What is the city lord's trick? Tell me quickly!" Ling Xiao said with a smile.
I just thought about it, and I never thought that the Lord of Moon City had come up with a plan in such a short time.
"Siege battles are usually either strong attacks or sneak attacks. If you attack a prepared city, the easiest way is to dig tunnels..."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult! Even if the mountain energy is easily hollowed out, then Banshan City will not be unprepared for this most basic thing!" someone interrupted.
"Haha! This area is mostly earthen mountains, so it shouldn't be difficult to dig! As for being prepared, what's the matter? As long as the city wall is destroyed, even if he knows, he can do nothing..." The Lord of Moon City smiled.
"Good plan!" The words of the Lord of Moon City were interrupted by the guards again. "He besieged the city on the mountain. Although he blocked the attack of the catapult, he also brought great trouble to himself! If it was Muzhai, it was nothing. As long as the part of his stone village was hollowed out, the city wall would inevitably collapse! This plan is feasible!"
After hearing the explanation of the guard, everyone understood it and expressed their admiration for the Lord of Moon City.
When the Lord of Moon City saw Ling Xiao just nodding with a smile, he knew that he had actually come up with such a plan. He immediately put away a hint of pride that had just risen.
"Okay! The city lord's plan is very good! Lao Zhang obeys the order!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Let you lead the soldiers to take charge of this operation. There is no need to dig the tunnel into the village. Just empty the adjacent city wall and temporarily hold it with a small number of branches!"
"promise!"
Ling Xiao asked everyone about other situations and then arranged the subsequent attack on the village.
………………………………………………
Ling Xiao directly set up camp at the foot of the Mid-mountain City Mountain, but did not start a strong attack on him.
When the city lord of Banshan City saw that Lingxiao's army did not attack, he was happy to be idle. He was really not so prepared that Lingxiao and the others would dig tunnels to attack, because as we all know, the mountain is not easy to be hollowed out. Even without hard rocks, ordinary hard mud is definitely much more solid than flat ground, and ordinary excavation tools are unlikely to be easily dug out. So after ordering the soldiers to continuously strengthen the city wall, Banshan City lord hid in the village and drank wine with confidence, and did not even send a spy to attack. Then wait until the reinforcements from the rear arrive.
Ling Xiao was the most prepared for siege equipment. Not only did he have a large number of conventional equipment such as catapults, ladders, etc., but he had tools for digging tunnels, which were specially designed and manufactured by iron smelting workshops. Not to mention ordinary hard mud, even hard rocks could be easily drilled through them.
The luck of Banshan City was really bad. The mountain he chose was a very unfortunate one. Ling Xiao was originally planning to let 80 million soldiers take turns to start digging the mountain, but now he has only been digging one day and one night. With the successive operations of professional siege soldiers and ordinary soldiers, more than a dozen tunnels leading to Leju City were successfully excavated. Moreover, the dedicated digging soldiers saw that it was still early, and they actually dug an empty tunnel along the city wall.
The day after coming to the Banshan City Army, Ling Xiao finally took his soldiers to attack.
The lord of Banshan City, who received the news, hurriedly ran out of his tent and prepared to direct the defense himself.
Although I don’t know why Lingxiao’s army did not attack on the first day, now that the attack has begun, the fool knows that it is impossible to be a show of it.
After the three-way drum sound, Ling Xiao rode a war horse and wore Lingxi armor and appeared in front of the entire army.
Ling Xiao looked at the tall but chaotic city on the distant hillside, and was amused. Even if there was no authenticity, a heavy attack could knock down the messy city wall. He pointed the horse whip at the city wall and prepared to say a few words to inspire morale.
"Quick! Put the rolling wood and falling rocks!"
Ling Xiao was just about to say a few words, but Banshan City there thought Ling Xiao was preparing to attack, so he hurriedly ordered the defenders to attack.
"Boom..."
"Crazy..."
Something that stunned Ling Xiao happened.
Originally, he was planning to give a speech and let the catapult of the rear army bombard the middle area. At that time, using the deferred effect bracket set inside, he directly turned the brackets that had already pulled out the main support wooden behind him one by one, so that he could not directly attack and knock down the city wall. When the collapse was over, Ling Xiao's infantry launched an attack on the panicked enemy troops.
I never thought that as the defensive side, I would take the lead in launching an offense now. No, I can’t talk about offense, I should talk about defense.
The consequence of this action in Banshan City is that the rolling giant trees and stones could roll down the mountain in the beginning, but as the number increased and the speed increased, the support brackets underneath could finally be held back.
With the clamor that just now, the entire hillside collapsed suddenly.
Originally, if Ling Xiao had arranged the collapse, the collapse should have come slowly, and in that case, those who reacted faster on the city wall might escape. Now this action in Banshan City has made the collapse complete in an instant. The people on the city wall only had time to see the ground sinking, and then they banged, and all fell down with the chaotic city wall.
Ling Xiaojun below was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. Ling Xiao immediately ordered decisively:
"The whole army attacked!"
"kill……"
Under the leadership of many powerful generals, ten thousand soldiers bypassed the main landslides and launched an attack on the already disastrous city.
The battle ended in just a few hours.
The enemy general, the city lord of the Mid-mountain City, was crushed under the city wall when the landslide first. By the time Ling Xiao's soldiers finally dug him out, they had already died. Thirty thousand enemy troops were just pressed under the city wall. The other soldiers were stunned when they saw this situation. When Ling Xiao led his army to attack, they still had the intention to fight. Those who surrendered and those who escaped had almost no decent resistance. In the end, except for more than 10,000 people surrendered, nearly 10,000 people ran away, and less than one-third of the dead enemy troops were still in danger.
Ling Xiao did not send anyone to pursue him, and he has no time to care about these unseasonable straitors.
That night, some of the surrendered enemy troops were taken into his own troops, and the rest were handed over to the guards, allowing him to reorganize these people at a rapid pace.
The next day, Ling Xiao gathered his troops to collect the materials and armies obtained from this battle, prepare to go to Moon City, and prepare for the subsequent battle to defend the city.
Moon City is located in a desert area and is Lingxiao's base camp. It is much more suitable for retreating than Banshan City in terms of weather and location. Moreover, the profits made this time are enough for Moon City to fight a protracted battle of half a year to a year. Moreover, because of the familiarity of Moon City, it is easier to set up an ambush around Moon City. Now, it is not the time to confront King Kun. Before that, the things to do are just two words to attack the city and siege!
