General Shahhanlu, the sentry reported that the Dalong people left more than two thousand corpses that were shot by the soldiers and fled in a hurry!"
Shahhanlu's furious expression suddenly turned happy as the smoke cleared and he leaned forward to look outside the city. Sure enough, there were densely packed corpses lying outside the city, motionless and dead!
"The great dragon cavalry is nothing more than that. Just one tentative charge killed and injured more than two thousand people. I really want to go out and kill them until they lose their armor!"
"General, no, just a tentative charge did not damage many troops at all. Look, the number of people outside the city is nearly 300,000. The soldiers of our twelve cities gathered together only have 150,000, which is less than them.
It’s more than half, it’s not wise to go out of the city to fight!”
"I'm just saying this, General. How many days will it take for the 100,000 troops sent by the King of Ershi City to arrive?"
"According to the reports from the scouts, it is estimated that it will take about seven days. The army of the Parthia Kingdom will arrive in Fenshui City in ten days, the army of Kangju Kingdom in thirteen days, the army of Wusun Kingdom in seventeen days, and the army of Yuezhi Kingdom in eight days.
The 300,000 people who join forces are nothing but fat in our mouths!"
"Great, I am just waiting for a few days. I will cut off Commander Dalong's head with my own hands and hang it on the flagpole to display it for three days!"
"The last general Cheng Kai meets the commander-in-chief!"
"Without courtesy, how do you feel about a tentative charge?"
"It's scary. If it weren't for the faster speed of the light cavalry, at least hundreds of brothers would have been lost. Their archers were so accurate that the brothers hung on their horses' bellies and immediately began to retreat fifty steps outside the city. Although the brothers
They were not injured, but the war horses actually lost more than a thousand horses, all of which were shot in the neck by arrows! I don’t know how many can be saved!"
"Where's the straw man?"
"All the more than two thousand straw men who were hit by arrows were thrown under the city wall. The bodies of the straw men were covered with smoke and dust. The guards of Fenshui City couldn't tell anything was wrong!"
"Well done. If you lose the war horse, you will lose it. When the Dawan Kingdom is conquered, I will reward each of you with a bloody horse!"
Cheng Kai's face lit up with joy: "Commander, a handsome man must keep his word!"
"I am true to my word. As long as there is a bloody horse in the city, I will reward you with one. But you must keep it a secret. If Lao Jiang knows, you will have to fight for me!"
"The general has sealed his mouth, so don't worry, Commander!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the guards on the city wall with melancholy and handed the telescope to Cheng Kai: "It seems that Shah Hanlu is not a fool who is overjoyed at success, and he has no plans to leave the city!"
Cheng Kai put down his telescope and sighed: "There are still more than 5,000 straw men. I will charge a few more times!"
"Okay, let all the brothers put on light plate armor and protect their faces with light shields! Only 7,000 troops will be sent this time!"
"Got the order!"
After Cheng Kai left, Qi Yun, who was standing aside, looked at the city tower above the city wall, holding the snow sword on his waist and biting his lip: "Commander, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. For a low-level position, you can sneak in from behind the city wall when General Cheng Kai is feigning an attack."
Go up and kill Shah Hanlu, and the three armies will be shaken without their commander-in-chief!"
"No! No matter how powerful your Qinggong is, you are not invincible. There are ten thousand archers on the city wall. Once the traces are exposed, you will be shot into a hedgehog by arrows. No matter how powerful your Qinggong is, once you are surrounded by an army, you will always have internal strength.
When it’s time to run out!”
"But.........."
"There is no but, if the commander says it can't be done, it can't be done!"
"Got the order!"
"Report, the scout reported that there is an army of about 100,000 people heading towards Fenshui City from the Second Division City of Dayuan Kingdom. It is estimated that they will reach Fenshui City within seven to eight days. The scout asked if we should divide our troops to intercept them!"
Liu Mingzhi read the note carefully and fell into deep thought. After a while, he stuffed the note into his sleeve: "Continue the investigation. I will make a decision after three days!"
"Got the order!"
The smoke was billowing, and Cheng Kai, who made his second tentative charge, once again led the cavalry to rush out from under Fenshui City. Liu Mingzhi hurriedly looked towards the city wall. Shah Hanlu was directing the guards to carry away the injured who had been shot by the cavalry crossbow.
Retreat to the city.
"Commander, how are you? Do you have any plans to leave the city?"
"No, Shahanlu can really hold it back? How is the situation this time?"
"Six hundred war horses were lost, and more than 300 soldiers were slightly injured. There was no fear of their lives. They were all carried to the back for treatment!"
"That's good, Shah Hanlu is really heartless, you should send two lines of cavalry out to attack!"
"Commander, they are most likely waiting for reinforcements. It seems that the strategy of luring the enemy will not work!"
"This time there are 10,000 light cavalry, 3,000 grass men, 3,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 3,000 archers mixed in. Let each of the sword and shield soldiers carry a feather arrow. When they attack the city, all 3,000 sword and shield soldiers will dismount and use their crossbows.
He lay on the ground in a creaking nest and pretended to be shot by an arrow. However, this charge will have to wait until the sun is about to set and attack with artillery catapults. I plan to hide a group of ambush troops under their noses!"
Cheng Kai thought for a moment and understood what Liu Dashao meant: "False and false, true and false?"
There was a smile on Liu Mingzhi's lips: "Soldiers are not afraid of deceit. Our troops are only about twice as many as the defenders of Shuicheng. A strong attack will definitely cause heavy losses. Without some strategy, you still think that I can only attack by force? I am just too lazy to do anything.
It’s just a brain!”
Murong Shan looked worried: "Commander, if they use thunderous rocks and rolling logs, it will be very dangerous for our brothers lying under the city pretending to be dead!"
"This commander just thought about it. Look at those straw men lying on the ground. Did they kill them a second time? What does this mean? Having too much faith in your own abilities is not necessarily a good thing!"
"You mean they believe their arrows can kill their enemies with one blow!"
"Part of it is that they don't dare to consume too many arrows and thunder stones and rolling wood because they are afraid that we are deliberately consuming their baggage. This Shahhanlu is a cautious person. What a powerful enemy! We have an army of 300,000 people.
The people outside the city are watching with eager eyes. As long as I don’t launch a general attack, they will still retain their strength!”
Murong Shan nodded in understanding: "You weren't so cunning when you attacked Loulan Kingdom and the others!"
"It's different. They only have a few people. Ten of them surround us, five of them attack, and twice as many are divided. Lieutenant General Song, Ning Chao and the others took away an army of 500,000 people. Now we only have twice as many people as those who defended the city.
Naturally, we can’t fight fiercely if we don’t have enough troops, that’s what a fool would do!”
"Also, this is not called insidious and cunning. Soldiers are also crafty. What they play is to win by surprise and psychological warfare. The routine of you and me coming and going has passed. The most effective way to use troops is to take down the enemy with the least effort and trouble.
road!"
Liu Mingzhi stretched out and patted Murong Shan's secret parts quietly: "I just want to use Shah Hanlu's cautious nature to deal with him!"
"Be serious!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled: "Cheng Kai!"
"The end is here!"
"Ten thousand soldiers with swords and shields covered three hundred catapults and advanced fifty steps. They replaced the kerosene jars with fire and bombarded them on the city wall, consuming their water reserves. I will not attack the city until they leave the city. The siege equipment
Bringing it here is not just for showing off, let’s first use the kerosene jar Nine Hundred Jars to stretch your muscles!”
"Got the order!"
"Du Yu!"
"The humble post is here, does the commander finally have my order?"
"De Xing, I have just observed that the distance between the defenders' bows and arrows is only about three hundred steps at most. You lead thirty eight-oxen crossbows and thirty siege vehicles to advance to a position five hundred steps away from the city.
Shah Hanlu, who is at the city tower, will fire crossbows as long as his grandson dares to show his head. It doesn’t matter whether he hits the target or not, or he will be frightened to death!"
