Jiang Ning was on the tower, watching the fierce battle below with an expressionless face.
Various deployment thoughts have flashed through my mind...
Generally speaking, Wu Hemo's ranking formation is okay, at least his shortcomings are not exposed.
Now, the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty formed two layers of shields, just like the fortress. Naturally, ordinary attacks could not break through.
Seeing this, Zhang Kui twitched the corner of his mouth, became very angry, and said in a deep voice: "Order everyone to retreat!"
"It's...general!"
After receiving the order, ordinary infantrymen and spearmen retreated one after another.
"Cavalry, attack..."
Soon, the ordinary soldiers dispersed and the cavalry rushed out. In an instant, dust flew up and no one could be seen within five meters.
Seeing the cavalry, Wu Hemo shouted angrily, "Fire the arrows, the spearmen are ready!"
The rain of arrows fell, and the spearmen thrust out fiercely, forming a fortress-like shield formation, with their spears sticking out, like sharp fangs growing out, giving people a ferocious feeling.
The cavalrymen who were not shot rushed over and hit the shield formation like cannonballs.
Bang bang...a violent impact, like thunder, which makes people tremble.
Under the impact, the shield array also became loose and was knocked open at several corners...
However, under the counterattack of the spearmen, the horses were soon mercilessly pierced by the spears.
One by one, they all fell into a pool of blood.
Breaking through the shield formation, the losses were considerable, and soldiers from both sides fell into close combat.
The Tobu soldiers didn't have any clue, so they slashed at the Wu Chao soldiers when they saw them.
The soldiers of the Wu Dynasty always maintained a triangular formation, which seemed chaotic but was actually very organized.
For the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, once there was a war, it was an opportunity for them to make contributions. In their eyes, the enemy was a bounty and a title, so one was more powerful than the other.
The moment the Wu Dynasty soldiers killed the Towu soldiers, they would cut off their ears as quickly as possible. A pair of ears represented a human head and could be recorded as military merit.
Encouraged by such a system, the combat effectiveness of Wu Dynasty soldiers further improved.
For the trained soldiers of the Wu Dynasty, it was the icing on the cake.
This fierce battle lasted for two hours, but there was still no winner.
Zhang Kui had no choice but to sound the gong and withdraw his troops.
Just like that, the Tobu army withdrew...
After Wu Hemo ordered his people to clean up the battlefield, he returned to the tower and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy has been repelled. Do you want to pursue us?"
Jiang Ning shook his head, "No need!"
"What are the casualties?"
"Your Majesty, there are more than 10,000 people, and Dongwu's side should be more than double our number!" Wu Hemo lowered his head slightly and reported.
"Hmm..." Jiang Ning responded and went back to his temporary residence to rest.
…
Tobu side, Licheng!
This city borders the Wu Dynasty border, so all Tobu troops are stationed here.
From an antique mansion, curses could be heard.
"How is it possible? Aren't the Zhenbei Army led by Liu Yi a group of soft-footed shrimps? How can they have such fighting power? Can anyone explain to me?" Zhang Kui was very unhappy and spat fiercely.
The lieutenants who gathered around him didn't dare to breathe.
Dongbu learned that the Wu Dynasty had changed its defenses from north to south, so they took advantage of this opportunity to take action. They also felt that Liu Yi was easy to bully. Who would have thought that it backfired and by the time they received the news, it was already too late...
In the southern border of Wu Dynasty, the guard has been changed, and now Emperor Wu is in charge.
As the general of Dongwu, Zhang Kui raised troops on his own initiative. If he could not take Nanming City, it would be a slap in the face.
"Everyone, don't be silent, everyone can express their opinions!"
After a while, the tone softened a little.
Only then did the surrounding lieutenants feel less stressed.
"General, I think we can use fire attack to destroy the entire Nanming City!"
"Yes, without Nanming City, it will be easy for our army to enter the hinterland of the Wu Dynasty!"
"I think what Vice General Lu said makes sense!"
"yes!"
Zhang Kui stared at Nanming City thoughtfully. For Dongwu, if he wants to compete in the Central Plains, he must open this gate and said slowly: "Have you ever thought about it, we destroy this gate?"
After the disaster, how much manpower, financial and material resources will be spent on reconstruction?”
"Don't forget our original purpose, to capture Nanming City is to capture the city and seize the territory!"
The lieutenants felt that what Zhang Kui said made sense and nodded in unison.
"What the general said is absolutely true!"
Zhang Kui nodded, "A fire attack is not advisable, because what we want is a complete city!"
"How about testing Liu Yi's intentions?" someone said.
"Isn't Liu Yi's attitude very obvious today?"
"yes!"
"this……"
For a time, the discussion reached a deadlock, and everyone was silent, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Kui's face was as dark as water, and his face looked a little ugly.
do not know what to do!
If they don't want Nanming City, they can freely attack the city, but the current situation is that it is very necessary.
That’s why I was restricted…
However, Nanming City has become a thorn in Zhang Kui's side, and it is natural that he must remove it.
Lost in thought, thinking of countermeasures.
Jiang Ning returned to the temporary resting place and did not go to rest immediately.
Instead, he looked at the map on the table.
Originally, Dongwu was within the territory of the Wu Dynasty, so Nanming City and Licheng were almost separated by a thin line, but now they are separated.
He was not ready to take action against Tobu, but who would have thought that Tobu couldn't hold it any longer.
If that's the case, let's start a war!
The Northern Desert Wolf Army was defeated by him, let alone Dongwu?
Jiang Ning punched Tobu's map and muttered: "I'll shoot you!"
Then, Wu Hemo was called.
"His Majesty!"
Jiang Ning pointed to the territory of Dongwu Licheng and said in a deep voice: "How about attacking the city tonight?"
"Even if we can't capture it, it's still good if we destroy it!"
"After destroying this portal, our army will be able to march straight in!"
Hearing the sound, Wu Hemo's heart also jumped fiercely, and he said with a sigh: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this..."
"Is there any problem?" Jiang Ning asked.
"No...no!" Wu Hemo naturally did not dare to disobey Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning noticed Wu Hemo's worries and doubts and said calmly: "General Wu, I have four words for you, your troops are valuable and your speed is great!"
"Only by taking advantage of others' unpreparedness and taking them by surprise can we achieve a decisive victory!"
"The Dongwu Army naturally wouldn't have thought that we would take action at night!"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Ning looked at Wu Hemo, whose aura was so strong that it gave people an unquestionable feeling.
Wu Hemo felt that Jiang Ning's words made sense, so he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I know what to do! We will attack Licheng tonight!"
Jiang Ning nodded, "Even if we can't break through, we still have to show our attitude!"
"On the border of Wu Dynasty, no country chicken or dog can cross the border!"
"I understand!"
After Wu Hemo leaves, he can reorganize his troops and prepare for the attack...
