Chapter eight hundred and fifty sixth gambling luck and the purpose behind it
Not just the key to winning.
Di Xin's eyes kept moving forward as his soldiers moved.
As the soldiers moved, those who were not protected by heavy-armored shield bearers were now within the shooting range of bows and arrows on the city wall. Once the more than two hundred god generals who were the surprise soldiers were unable to complete their mission, it would be easy to recover.
The enemy defenders will inevitably release a hail of arrows outside the city again.
Once the arrow rain falls again, except for the soldiers protected by heavy armor and shield bearers, those Dali soldiers who are completely exposed to the arrow rain will surely suffer heavy losses.
At that time, even if some soldiers successfully withdraw, there will not be many left.
What's worse is that without the formation of the soldiers at the rear to replenish their blood and physical strength, the two hundred generals fighting fiercely in the city will have only one end.
That means being surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops and being completely wiped out.
Once this happens, Di Xin's personal expedition will be tantamount to failure, and even being able to return to Yanque Pass safely with the remaining soldiers will be a problem.
Goguryeo, which had won a great victory, would never let go of this opportunity to beat the drowned dog.
Therefore, today's siege battle can only succeed but not fail for Di Xin.
If he was more prudent, he could actually wait for more than 200 divine generals to open the city gate before launching the charge. In this way, even if he failed, with 30,000 elite soldiers in hand, he would still have the opportunity to continue attacking the city, so it would not be considered a failure.
However, Di Xin still chose to move forward with the army when the general charged.
Such a desperate behavior was not an attempt to make a big gamble, and Di Xin was not that big of a gambler. He did this to establish an image of belonging to the army at the first stop.
This was the first battle after Emperor Xin's personal expedition, and it was also the first battle to prove whether the expeditionary force had the strength. Therefore, even if he did not send anyone to investigate seriously, Emperor Xin also knew that there were many forces paying attention to this battle.
And the outcome of this battle will also determine their future attitude when facing this army.
The way to use the army is to attack the heart first, and attack the city Wei Xia; the heart war is the top, and the military war is the bottom.
Although Di Xin was very confident in the army he led, the number of soldiers was an unavoidable problem. With 30,000 soldiers, it was barely enough to attack one force, but it was almost impossible to pacify all the barbarian forces around Dali.
possible.
At the end of the fight, there may not be a few people left in the army led by Di Xin this time.
Therefore, Di Xin must establish the image of his own army as invincible in the first battle, so as to make subsequent enemies feel timid and reduce the damage to the army.
And what can better demonstrate the strength of an army than capturing a city in one day with more defenders than attackers?
As the commander-in-chief of an army, Di Xin could not only consider the victory of a war, but the siege of the city in front of him was a heart-breaking battle for Di Xin against the enemy troops that followed.
Once the image of the army's invincibility is successfully established, and the army continues to fight all the way, perhaps in the end, just relying on the name of King Yu's army, he may be able to make the enemy surrender.
This is another purpose behind Di Xin's siege plan.
Xizi came to Di Xin's side out of nowhere.
During those days at Yanque Pass, she had already learned to ride a horse, and now she was riding on a white horse that was the same as Di Xin's.
After driving his horse to Di Xin, Xizi followed Di Xin's eyes and first landed on the army and city wall in the distance, and then brought them back to land on Di Xin.
After a moment of silence, she said with some concern: "Your Highness, can the plan succeed?"
Di Xin shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Believe Ouyang Xuan, the people who followed him to the city were all divine generals. With the soldiers at the rear to replenish their energy and blood, they were the two hundred or so sharpest nails that pierced the city."
"Unless the general who defended the city of Goguryeo arranged all the military cultivators in the general on the city wall from the beginning, it would be impossible to stop them!"
Hearing this, Xizi's expression improved, but it could still be seen that he was still a little nervous and uneasy.
Even though the training in Yanque Pass in the past two years has made her no longer the country girl she was a few years ago, this is the first time she has experienced such a siege battle involving tens of thousands of people. It is normal for her to be a little worried about gains and losses for a while.
Di Xin did not mean to blame Xizi. In fact, even though he said this, he could not completely guarantee that Ouyang Xuan could really kill more than two hundred god generals out of the encirclement of tens of thousands of people and open the city gate.
However, although the success of the plan could not be completely guaranteed, his expression was as calm as ever, as if he was confident.
This is the calmness and calmness that a general should have.
…
On the city wall, more than two hundred god generals were divided into dozens of squads, forming a charging formation to kill all directions, and continued to rush towards the bottom of the city wall.
Countless Goguryeo soldiers were constantly wandering around the general Da Li. Their duty as soldiers prevented them from retreating, but their fear of death prevented them from getting too close.
Anyone who gets too close has basically become a dead soul under the sword.
But on the entire battlefield of the city wall, there was an area that no one else came near. Whether it was the soldiers of Goguryeo or the divine generals of Dali, they all avoided this area tacitly.
The people in this area were none other than the general and Ouyang Xuan who were responsible for defending the city of Goguryeo this time.
After Ouyang Xuan said "Well done", the two started fighting with knives.
Ouyang Xuan's breakthrough to the acquired peak of martial arts was relatively short, and he did not participate in a few battles after the breakthrough. However, with the supply of blood and physical strength of the soldiers at the rear, not only defense and recovery speed after injury, but also
The reaction power and attack power have increased a lot.
The general is a veteran martial arts expert who has acquired the pinnacle. Although he does not have plug-ins like Ouyang Xuan, he did not fall into a disadvantage at the beginning with his years of combat experience.
In fact, he should be able to sustain it for longer, but after being unable to attack for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
If they are dragged on like this, even if they are tied or defeated, once the city gate is opened from the inside, the city may not be able to be defended.
The more anxiety you have in your heart, the less organized your actions will be.
At the beginning, he would just accidentally expose some flaws, and then he would gradually fall into a disadvantage.
It was impossible to get rid of Ouyang Xuan during the draw, but now that he is at a disadvantage, this possibility is no longer possible, so he has fallen into a vicious cycle.
In contrast, Ouyang Xuan became more and more calm and calm.
But after competing with people of the same level, he gradually lost interest in continuing to compete.
He did not forget his mission. The real purpose this time was to open the city gate and welcome the army into the city.
