"Take the city, money and beauty are waiting for us!"

"Brave warriors, let those soft eggs in the Central Plains see how powerful we are, kill them!"

Under the city of Benxi, under the command of the general, the soldiers of Nanwofu climbed one after another along the siege ladder towards the city wall. Perhaps, it was the stimulation of money and women that made these Nanwo soldiers glow with a stronger fighting spirit than in the past, and they all showed a fierce momentum that was not afraid of death.

It's just that although the momentum is sufficient, the actual significance is not great.

Since Yuan Chang implemented the new military system in Youzhou, not only the upper and lower soldiers have been deleted, but only elite veterans have been left. Moreover, even recruits have to be trained before they can go to the battlefield, and now it is not as in later generations that they have to train for two or three years, so each recruit only has two or three months of training. However, it is enough for these recruits to know what they are fighting for and what the meaning of fighting is. Moreover, coupled with the increase in the position of political commissar, the soldiers in Youzhou will not decline at all in terms of spirit. Even if they suffer a defeat, their morale will not be affected much, and this is a huge meaning of the existence of political commissars. Under normal circumstances, if an army is defeated, morale will definitely fall, and it is not impossible that there will even be a mutiny. However, there is such a political commissar in the Youzhou Military Region, so there is no need to worry about such a problem.

Therefore, the soldiers of Nanwo Fu were full of momentum. However, the soldiers of Youzhou are not weaker than them. Killing the enemy is also very ferocious, and it seems that Yuan Chang, the master of Youzhou, is also present to watch, and they kill the enemy harder. Objects such as sasswoods or boulders, which often take several people to move, can be done by fewer people, and even by one person. In addition, the soldiers of Youzhou are more than several times better than the soldiers of Nanwo Fu in terms of armor and weapons. Therefore, within a quarter of an hour or so of the soldiers from Nanwofu entering the battlefield, nearly a thousand people had been killed or wounded, and on the Youzhou side, there were only hundreds of thousands of casualties. However, even such a loss is a huge loss for Yuan Chang. After all, every soldier now is a trained elite, and this account will have to be calculated sooner or later.

"Bastard, you all give General Ben the strength to feed!"

Walton had been fighting for a while under the city, but the soldiers of the South had only been climbing the siege ladders, and none of them had approached the top of the city, let alone made a gap. If this is the case, how can he take Benxi City and take all the benefits of Benxi City for himself.

Under Walton's angry scolding, the soldiers of Nanwo seemed to increase their momentum a little. However, it still could not change any situation, and the soldiers of Nanwofu fell from the siege ladder from time to time, or were killed or injured, and none of them were spared. Looking at the Youzhou soldiers in the city, they are also full of fighting spirit, and there is no sign of decline at all. Such an enemy, even if there are many soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to overcome it for a while. Moreover, there are 50,000 Youzhou soldiers and horses in the city, and Nanwofu only has 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Therefore, after seeing such a situation, a relatively sober general behind Walton hurriedly walked up to Walton and persuaded him: "General, we have been tricked!"

"What's going on?"

Walton also wanted to scold his soldiers, but after hearing the lieutenant's words, he swept his gaze. This general's name is Zack, and when he went on this expedition, his Lao Tzu, Wal-Mart, the leader of Nanwofu, specially assigned to him, and told him that Zack was brilliant and should listen to him more at critical moments. Therefore, Walton would have stopped swearing, otherwise, if someone else persuaded him when he was angry, he would have taught him a lesson a long time ago.

Zach didn't answer immediately, lowered his head and thought about it, as if he was thinking about how to say it, and only after a moment did he raise his head and said solemnly: "General, the reason why these guys accepted Gao Jianchang's invitation to send troops is nothing more than for profit. And just now Jin Tainong proposed to let the general capture Benxi City, and all the benefits in the city belong to our Wofu warriors, since they are here for profit, how can they be so happy. Obviously, Kim Taynon deliberately provoked the generals to kill our frustrated warriors, and then they would be able to take the city more easily. Moreover, even if the general did take the city, how could they keep the agreement and let us have the exclusive advantage, and then they would intervene if they gave a reason. So, General, now that our warriors have suffered enough, retreat as soon as possible and let them continue the siege. ”

Although Walton's brain is full of muscles, he is not the kind of person who does not listen to the persuasion of others. Therefore, after Zach elaborated on it, he immediately understood that things seemed to be really as Zach said. Everyone is here for profit, and they can't just give up their interests. Obviously, they saw that Nanwofu's soldiers could not capture Benxi City, and Walton was ruthless when he arrived, and lost all the soldiers of Nanwofu, and consumed the enemy's forces for them.

"General Zack, you're right, it's just that if we retreat like this, we won't be able to get over it. ”

It's just that Walton understands that he is not willing to let him withdraw his troops like this. After a pause, Walton said, "Besides, if we withdraw our troops now and replace them with another person to attack the city, if they take the city, the previous efforts of General Ben and the sacrifice of our warriors will not be in vain. ”

Zach sighed in his heart, it was really not easy to persuade Walton. However, Zach happened to know one of Walton's weaknesses, so he could only continue to persuade again patiently.

"General, you see that above the city, the soldiers of Youzhou are not the slightest tired. On the contrary, our frustrated warriors attacked the city repeatedly, consuming too much physical strength. If it continues like this, it will only be in vain. Moreover, the people of the Central Plains have a saying that the generals should be informal, and what is the reason for a little face, is it possible that the general wants to use the lives of our Wo Fu warriors to fight for this face?"

Zach persuaded without pause, and Walton's face was already struggling, as if he wanted to retreat, but he was reluctant. Seeing this, Zach decided to use a killer move.

"General, think again. There are 50,000 Youzhou troops in the city, and the people of the Central Plains are good at defending the city, so the general thinks that we can take the city so easily? Even if it is one for one, we will suffer. Besides, even if the general fights all his forces, how many warriors will be left at that time? Yeh Naratunna and Ma Han's Kim Taenong are always hostile to the general, and if the general has no one under him, they will definitely attack the general without scruples. And Gao Jianchang, will they still seek justice for you, the general?"

That's right, Zach used Walton's life to persuade Walton. It stands to reason that a man like Walton, who has muscles in his head and looks strong, is a guy who is not afraid of death. However, on the contrary, don't look at Walton's momentum, he is an out-and-out death-fearing person, as for how much he is afraid of death. As a simple example, Walton was bitten by a mosquito, and if he grew a bag, he would be afraid of his own death. Of course, few people know that Walton is afraid of dying to such an extent, and the reason why Zach knows is that Walton told Zach privately before they set out on the expedition. He was worried that Zach would not be able to persuade Walton at the critical moment, so he told Zach about this secret and asked Zach to use it to persuade Walton. Now, Walton is ready to send all of South Wallon's soldiers out to die, and Zack doesn't really care about Walton's life and death. However, to let tens of thousands of South Wofrustan soldiers sacrifice for Walton's face and impossible benefits, Zach believes that this is the critical moment. Therefore, he no longer hesitated to offer a killer feature.

Sure enough, after listening to Zach's words, Walton's face changed on the spot. He was right to think about it, Yeh Na Ratonna and Kim Tai Nong did not have a friendly relationship with him, and if he had no troops under him, wouldn't the two of them take the opportunity to deal with him. Thinking of this, Walton immediately stopped hesitating and immediately made a decision.

"Come, go and tell General Gao, just say that our fertile warriors are tired, let them change people to attack the city. At this moment, for the sake of his own life, he doesn't care about any face.

It wasn't long before another army came to replace the soldiers of Nanwofu and continue the siege.

And after Walton led the soldiers of Nanwofu to withdraw, he naturally inevitably suffered repeated ridicule from Yehena Ratonna and Kim Taenong.

"Huh, General Walton, why did you withdraw your troops, and the brave Wofu warriors are still tired?"

Yehnaratonna looked at Walton with a look of surprise, as if surprised by Walton's reason for the tiredness of the soldiers of South Wall.

"General Tonner is right, the brave Wofu warriors should not be tired. ”

Jin Tainong said with a straight face.

"We are all waiting for General Walton to take Benxi City, and then we can celebrate in the city, but I didn't expect the frustrated warriors to be so reluctant to give General Walton a sigh of relief. I don't think it's better to let you warriors rest for a while, and then continue to attack Benxi City. Or is it the same agreement as before, take Benxi City, and everything in the city will belong to you?"

After Zack's reminder, Walton already understood the sinister intentions of Kim Taynon and Yehna Ratonna, how could he be fooled again? Seeing Kim Taynon so motivate him to send troops, it was obviously the same as what Zach said, that is, to wear down their frustrated soldiers. As the son of the leader of the Nanwofu tribe, he can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person in the tribe. In the clan, the chief has absolute power, if you want to live, you will live, if you want to die, you will die, and there is no one who can restrain the rights of the chief. And Walton, as the son of the leader, no one pays attention to him except his old son. Therefore, he also doesn't care much about the life and death of the Nanwofu soldiers, but if his own life is involved, then it's a different matter, and he naturally won't be fooled stupidly anymore.

"Heh, the two generals laughed, our frustrated warriors are human beings, and even human beings will be tired. Could it be that the warriors of you and Mahan are not Ren, what is tireless?"

Walton had a rare flash of inspiration in his mind, and he responded sharply, which immediately turned the faces of Yehena Ratonna and Kim Tainong blue. Of course, they also understand that Walton has seen through their intentions, and it is obviously impossible to let him take the lead for them again. Therefore, Walton did not continue to irritate, and the two of them had a twinkle in their eyes, as if they were thinking about other things.

This time, the soldiers and horses besieging the city were replaced by Lou Ru's soldiers, and Lou Ru's chief general rarely spoke in peacetime, and seemed to have come entirely for profit. Everyone took turns to attack the city, and Lou Ru's chief general didn't say anything, and directly allocated 10,000 soldiers to enter the siege battle.

Naturally, there was no difference in the result, and after throwing thousands of corpses under Benxi City, it was withdrawn.

Then, the soldiers and horses of Hao, Ma Han, and Chen Han took turns to fight, and there was no difference, all of them withdrew their troops back with tacit understanding after leaving a lot of corpses.

After several forces attacked the city repeatedly, the Youzhou soldiers also lost a lot, including thousands. In this regard, Yuan Chang and the others were very sad. However, it is inevitable that there will be casualties in siege warfare, and no one can avoid it, compared to the 20,000 or 30,000 casualties of Goguryeo and their forces, the loss of Youzhou is already very small. Although he was not happy in his heart, however, the times were like this, and Yuan Chang didn't say much. And the strategy proposed by Guo Jia cannot be implemented immediately, and we must wait for the right time. Although foreign countries are not good at using stratagems, they are not fools after all, and they will be suspicious if things are too abnormal. Therefore, Yuan Chang and the others could only endure the anger in their hearts and continue to wait for the right time.

On the other side, after Goguryeo and other countries retreated, they counted the soldiers, and when they gathered together to discuss, they suddenly discovered that in today's siege battle, the total number of soldiers killed and wounded by several forces was as high as 20,000 or 30,000, which made them almost dumbfounded.

Jian Qiutai tapped his fingers on the desk in front of him, and said in a condensed voice: "This prince has observed that the casualties of the soldiers in Youzhou are not large, and they will never exceed five thousand. Although the combined strength of our side is more than 200,000, if we compare the casualties in this way, we will not be able to consume them at all. Besides, they can still ask Youzhou for reinforcements at any time, and when the time comes, don't say that relying on our troops, even if there are millions of troops, they may not be able to take Benxi City. ”

Jian Qiutai's words were unanimously recognized by everyone, and Jian Qiutai paused, stared at Gao Jianchang with both eyes, and said in a deep voice: "General Gao, there are countless siege equipment in the Central Plains, not only the siege ladder, but also the children of the Fanyang Lu family who want to come to give you the technology of Goguryeo. In order to reduce our losses, we also ask General Gao not to hide his secrets and take out all the other siege equipment. If General Gao doesn't continue to hide, then we can only retreat and no longer participate!"

Jian Qiutai's words fell, and the main generals of the other forces present immediately fixed their eyes on Gao Jianchang. (To be continued.) )
