The generals filed in behind Feng and Zhao, and stood on both sides after entering the tent. Yuan Zishan and others were arranged to rest.
Pang Shishi wanted to follow him into the tent, but Feng Jiuxiao stopped him with his eyes, so Pang Shishi, Liu Mizhou and others followed the people arranged by Wang Quanbin to rest in the temporary tent.
After all, the eldest brother’s conversation with the King of Jin this time involved military secrets. Although Pang Shiwu personally participated in several battles against Shu, he was a commoner after all and was not qualified or suitable to participate in such military meetings. Feng Jiuxiao definitely did not want to be exposed.
Put on the big hat of "domineering and arrogant"!
The fiancée had just insulted King Jin, and now his brother was casually sitting in on the military meeting and slapping King Jin in the face again and again. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't do it!
Zhao Guangyi pointed to the map of Shu hanging in the north and said with a smile: "Deputy Ambassador Feng, as long as the crossbows, trebuchets, and three-bow crossbows are in place tonight, we can launch an attack immediately! It's still the same old thing, artillery bombing, cavalry charge,
The infantry follows up and the archers cover! Even if the city of Chengdu is impregnable, it is still vulnerable to the torrent of my Song Dynasty's fierce cavalry!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "That's right! Your Highness's siege strategy is simple, domineering, sharp and effective!" Thumbs up!
Zhao Guangyi burst into laughter immediately, feeling quite proud, "Everyone can think of this strategy, and the Shu Kingdom also wants to do it, but unfortunately its strength does not allow it. Haha, they don't have three-bow crossbows, no trebuchets, no
My Song Dynasty soldiers are strong and powerful, hehe, they only have one move, they can shrink their heads and act like a tortoise, waiting to be beaten!"
All the generals laughed.
When the master laughs, you have to laugh too.
But Eunuch Li knew that this method of siege was first proposed by Feng Jiuxiao!
At that time, when we attacked the Southern Han Dynasty, we did not prepare ballistae and trebuchets in the early stage. It was Feng Jiuxiao's suggestion.
Originally, Zhao Kuangyin's military thinking continued to be that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were so-called heavy siege weapons, but transportation was always considered troublesome, so everyone preferred to equip the army with three-bow crossbows, which were relatively easy to transport and easy to use.
When you reach the bottom of the opponent's city gate, you can directly launch dozens of giant arrows into the city wall to build a ladder that can be stepped on. As long as the soldiers rush to the bottom of the city, they can step on the giant arrows and climb up the steps. As long as there are a few soldiers wearing heavy armor.
The warriors rushed to the top of the wall and tore apart the defense line, and subsequent soldiers would rush to the top of the city. With the fierce and fearless spirit of Luoyang in the Song Dynasty, it was only a matter of time before the city was captured.
However, under Feng Jiuxiao's suggestion, although the transportation of siege equipment did increase the difficulty of marching, at the moment of siege, several trebuchets were displayed under the city, continuously firing burning stone bullets at the top of the wall.
, when the stone bullets roared across the sky and caused heavy casualties to the enemy troops above the city, when the siege ram aimed at the city gate and impacted crazily, only a dozen times could open the cracks, the Song Army
Finally, I discovered that the critical battles that required heavy casualties in the past actually didn’t kill many people anymore!
After several indiscriminate bombardments, the trebuchets destroyed the enemy's resistance on the city wall to pieces and completely routed the army. When the Song army boarded the city, they encountered almost no resistance. They destroyed everything along the way and were invincible! At this time, the city gate was invincible.
Even if it is not knocked open by the battering ram, the fierce soldiers who attack the city will open the gate!
So when the number of casualties dropped to an incredible level, the Song generals realized that although the big siege guys were inconvenient to carry, they could just be patient and concentrate all their firepower together, and use a multi-pronged approach to use the most violent force.
The attack can instantly render the opponent unable to fight back, greatly reducing one's own casualties!
Although Zhao Kuangyin knew that this was Feng Jiuxiao's idea, Feng Jiuxiao himself never mentioned to anyone that this was his own credit.
There are some things he will fight for, and there are some things he doesn't bother to fight for.
Although Eunuch Li was still by Zhao Guangyi's side at this time, he knew that Zhao Guangyi's eyes on him had become much softer.
Zhao Guangyi suddenly looked at Eunuch Li, "How long do you think they can last if we concentrate our firepower and start attacking?"
Eunuch Li immediately said cautiously: "Back to Your Highness, I can only serve tea and pour water. I can't think of such troublesome things!"
Zhao Guangyi smiled and lined up towards Liu Guangyi again, "General Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Guangyi stretched out three fingers and said: "Three hours!"
Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "Everyone named Guangyi is so straightforward!" He smiled and said to Feng Jiuxiao: "My name is Guangyi, and he is also called Guangyi. Do you think it is a coincidence?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Guangyi's complexion suddenly changed. He was so frightened that he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I..."
Feng Jiuxiao waved her hand to stop him from talking, and said with a smile: "My body, hair, and skin are all given by my parents. Even my name is given by my elders. Whether it sounds nice or not is not something you or I can control. There are hundreds of people with the same name in the world. Liu
General, don’t be mentally burdened!”
Zhao Guangyi also smiled and said: "That's right, General Liu, don't take it seriously, I'm just joking."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "The Jin Dynasty has a high position and a respected position. Ordinary people cannot bear your jokes!"
Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "What the deputy envoy said is that I will never joke easily in the future. By the way, how long does it take for the deputy envoy to capture Chengdu?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Let's attack with troops. We don't necessarily have to attack by force."
Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up, "Going to attack with troops? Do you mean to capture Chengdu without a single blow? How likely is it?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "The possibility is very high!"
Zhao Guangyi said: "How to say?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "First, Chengdu has insufficient troops and the city defense is ineffective. The remaining 20,000 cavalry were brought to the Demon Sect's territory to snatch the dragon treasure by Meng Xu, but the entire army was wiped out. Emperor Meng Chang of Shu is now frightened. Listen to this
The secret agents of the Imperial City Department reported that the Emperor of Shu ordered his eldest son Meng Xuanzhe to quickly return to defend Chengdu a few days ago. It is estimated that the Meng family and his son are discussing how to surrender at this time!"
Zhao Guangyi was startled, "Discussing surrender? Shouldn't it be discussing how to fight to the bitter end?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Feng Jiuxiao said: "Fight to the end? Haha, if the King of Jin is a common man in Chengdu, he still has such blood, but the Meng family and his son enjoy the blessings
If you are used to it, how can you still have the courage to fight us till the end?"
Zhao Guangyi frowned and said: "We won't force the people of Chengdu to go to the city walls to fight us till the end?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Prince Jin, you just said the word "force". Why do you think Emperor Shu forced the people to go to the city?"
Zhao Guangyi pondered and said: "I just feel this way instinctively. Chengdu is known as the land of abundance. The people here live a relatively wealthy and comfortable life. Who would go to the front line to die unless they have to?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What King Jin said makes sense! Even we can predict that the people in Chengdu will not risk their lives easily, so how could Meng Chang not think of it? Even if Meng Chang didn't think of it, what about the civil servants and generals around him?"
Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, "So, as long as we put some appropriate pressure on them and give them a little temptation, just like Liu Chan did back then, he was granted the title of An Le Gong..."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "That's right! Maybe the ruler of Shu is the same as An Le Gong, who prefers Shu!"
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Wang Quanbin and said: "Then pass the word on! As long as you surrender, not only will you not be killed, but you will also be made a marquis!"
Wang Quanbin immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Inside Chengdu.
Dashu Imperial Palace.
All kinds of unfavorable news came one after another, and Meng Chang could no longer sit still. He quickly summoned the ministers and asked them to give them an idea.
In the main hall, someone suggested organizing an army to continue resisting, making full use of the advantages of local operations, and fighting a war of attrition with the Song army.
Meng Chang thought to himself: When Liu Chan at least had Jiang Wei and other die-hard loyalists and capable people, but he had nothing, how could he use air to resist the Song army?
While he was cursing secretly, Prime Minister Li Hao suddenly suggested: "It is better for the emperor to surrender the city, so as to preserve the continuation of the royal bloodline of the Meng family! This can protect the people of Shu from the suffering of swordsmanship!"
Meng Chang immediately said: "You have won my heart!"
