Chapter 3174: Holding the North Gate is a meritorious service
Zhu Lingshi smiled slightly: "Ah Shao has never disappointed the commander-in-chief, and it must be the same this time. Giving Brother Changmin the position of Dongcheng General is more to appease the veteran. If we really want to capture Guanggu City,
We still have to rely on the direction of the Marshal's Nancheng and A Shaoge's West City. The West City has a high terrain. It may be easier if we set up a mechanical siege. The Marshal himself is in Nancheng, and presumably the main enemy forces will be concentrated there. Changmin
Brother, that’s bluffing again, that’s the real killing move…”
Sun Chu and Yang Muzhi said in unison: "It must be Xicheng!"
Zhu Lingshi licked his lips: "We must abide by the commander's military orders and keep an eye on the north gate to prevent the enemy's cavalry from attacking. This is our most important task. In this battle, even if we don't fire an arrow,
If you don't kill an enemy, as long as you can ensure that the enemy's cavalry doesn't rush out in this direction, that's victory!"
Sun Chu smiled slightly: "Big Shitou, this time the commander-in-chief asked you to come here as the commander-in-chief and be responsible for the offense and defense of a branch. If others had this opportunity to take charge of their own affairs, they would fight tooth and nail to gain merit.
Can you really do it without fighting or grabbing, and just wait here for the enemy to attack?"
Zhu Lingshi smiled and said: "To win a title based on merit, and to use a title as an official is a rule that Brother Nu can give to the whole army and the whole promotion. Who doesn't want to make meritorious deeds and make great achievements? But it also depends on the situation. If it is from all directions,
If we encircle and fight bravely, I will naturally charge forward, but this time it is an encirclement of three and one missing. This northern city seems calm, and it may become the winner of the entire battle. If not the remaining more than 10,000 pieces of armor are wiped out.
Riding means that the Yan army can attack at any time, otherwise our siege troops will be destroyed in one battle!"
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "So the two generals, firmly holding on to this place is our greatest contribution. Moreover, we are either chariots or infantry. We have no siege equipment and cannot attack by force.
I have a hunch that our troops, horses and chariots will definitely play a key role in this battle!"
Sun Chu smiled slightly: "No wonder the slaves value you more than us old brothers who joined the army together. It's not entirely because of the master-disciple relationship, but because you have such abilities, Dashi. In this battle, the three of us will
Danzi obeys your orders completely!"
Yang Muzhi also followed up and said: "Follow your orders, Big Stone."
Zhu Lingshi smiled and stretched out his hand: "With the sincere help of the two generals, great things will happen. Now..." At this point, he paused, "I think the attack in Xicheng will start soon.
.”
Guanggu, Xicheng, Wulongkou.
Tan Shao stood on horseback, standing on a spring that had dried up long ago. The three characters "Wulongkou" were carved on a large stone on one side. Although the surface was covered with moss, these three characters were still as clear as ever. Tan Shao's
His eyes fell on this big stone and he murmured: "Wulongkou, Wulongkou, this is where the water eye of Guanggu City used to be. The two falls of Guanggu were all caused by the siege team blocking this spring eye.
, so that after Murong Ke finally captured Guanggu, he changed the water channel, and the place has been abandoned ever since."
Zhang Gang nodded on the side: "Yes, the spring here has been sealed and the water channel has been changed. Where the water source in Guanggu City comes from has always been the top secret of the city. I used to arrange the mechanism at the top of the city.
I tried asking Hei Pao about it, but he immediately became angry and said that I didn't need to worry about it, and from then on I never dared to ask again."
Shen Tianzi said disapprovingly: "These Xianbei barbarians still treat you, a great machine master, as an outsider and guard against them. Zhang Shaojian, in fact, you should have understood this a long time ago."
Zhang Gang gritted his teeth: "With a single thought, I not only failed my parents' country, but also killed my mother. As long as there are any tactics that can capture Guanggu City, I will use it."
Tan Shao took a step forward and looked at Guanggu West City five or six miles away. He saw more than fifty catapults, which had smashed the organs at the top of the city. From this angle, it was impossible to see anything else at the top of the city. However, it can be clearly seen from here that there is no large number of enemy troops gathering behind the south gate. The stones falling behind the south gate like a heavy rain have turned this place into a The quarry did not cause much damage to the enemy.
Tan Shao shook his head: "This Wulongkou is really a natural high point. From a commanding position, every move in the city is under control. The commander-in-chief should come here to take command."
Shen Tianzi smiled and said: "If the commander comes here, then this is the main direction of attack. The black robe is cunning and will be on guard. Then our chance of making achievements will be gone. Look, Brother A Shao, the commander asked you to come As the main attacker, I have brought Zhang Gang here for you. With him here, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort and destroy the wall of the West City as quickly as possible!"
Tan Shao did not answer these words. He turned to look at Zhang Gang: "Zhang Gang, look from here. We will directly destroy the defenses of the West City and use the rope ladder to climb the city as you said. Is there any chance?"
Zhang Gang glanced at Xiao Chengzhi, who was silent on the side, and said, "Master Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Chengzhi blinked: "Now we have a hundred rope ladders and can attack the city in a hundred ways. As long as we can use a heavy crossbow to shoot the crossbow gun to the top of the city, just like the general broke the wall at the south gate, this will The soldiers carried on the hundred rope ladders can directly attach to the city wall. The defenders may not even have a chance to react, because in a hundred rope siege, three thousand people can be counted as thirty people per ladder. Attacking the city head is enough to suppress the defenders at the city head, and the subsequent troops can also continuously send reinforcements to the city head. Of course, there is a great chance!"
Tan Shao curled up his lips: "Has the Yan Army used this rope-ladder strategy before?"
Zhang Gang said without hesitation: "Absolutely, this is a secret method that I came up with on my own, and it wasn't from the diagram of the wooden armor mechanism that Hei Pao gave me. In the past month, our method of attacking walls with ropes and ladders has only We have trained secretly in this mountain, and even those who bring food and water are not allowed in. The food and water used for meals are all stored grains prepared in advance. In this case, it is impossible for the Yan army to take precautions."
Tan Shao nodded: "It's just that I'm still a little uneasy. Wulongkou is so important and is the commanding heights of Guanggu. From here, we can also clearly see the movements in the city. Is it true that the Yan army has nothing to do with this?" Are you on guard?"
Zhang Gang laughed: "Xianbei people are very superstitious and believe in ghosts and gods. In the past, tens of thousands of prisoners of war were killed in Wulongkou to block the mouth of the spring. At the same time, they stopped the siege party from trying to find another waterway. So I heard that this place For decades, there have been constant supernatural events. During the day, as long as the weather is cloudy, there will be sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling. Most of the woodcutter who went into the mountain to cut wood never returned, so this place is regarded as the Forbidden Mountain and no one is allowed to enter. "
