Helpless, Zhang Wushu had no choice but to withdraw all the fire attacks. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Jiangnan is even more intense~ emotional. He saw that Zhang Wuxian's city wall could not be attacked by fire, and when he laughed and said: "The soldiers are rushing, they must take Xicheng!" Suddenly the soldiers below roared, although Jiang Nan also saw Zhang Wuxian planting a few steel bars in front of the city gate, but he didn't know what it was for, when even shouted: "The siege vehicle is in place!"

Suddenly, an army of 140,000 drove out of the middle, and then a long procession of siege engines came out of the middle. But see, when the soldiers pushed the siege vehicle to the steel bar, they originally wanted to use the siege vehicle to break the steel bar, but the soldiers found that no matter how the siege vehicle hit, there was no problem with the steel bar, and the reason was that because of the high terrain under the steel bar, it was difficult for the siege vehicle to go up, let alone break it. Even if some of the strength goes up, the strength is eliminated by the friction and there is no power.

At the same time, Zhang Wuxian was on the city wall, but he saw the situation below clearly. The situation in front of him is what Zhang Wuxian wants. There is no way for siege engines to break through the city gates, and the enemy army will not be able to enter the city, so they can only use their brains from the top of the ladder.

Seeing this, Jiang Nan was also deeply shocked in his heart, not only could the siege vehicle not go up, but the rolling logs on it kept rolling down, causing great damage to his army. After a pause, Jiang Nan shouted: "All the soldiers are here! The whole army retreats!" After hearing this, the soldiers immediately abandoned the siege engines and retreated.

At the same time, Sima Yunlong, who was sitting on the horse, frowned, and then drove his horse to the side of Jiangnan, and said, "The cities on the east and west sides have been taken, and we must not be held back because of our main army." Retreat for the time being, make slight adjustments and attack again. No matter what you say, you can't lose this war. ”

Jiang Nan nodded, and then shouted loudly: "The front team will be the back team, and the back team will become the front team." The whole army retreats! The whole army retreats!" Suddenly, the black oppression retreated towards the interior of Xiangcheng. After seeing it, the king on the top of the city looked at Zhang Wuxian with a shocked face: "Your Majesty... This... Why did he retreat before he could fight? Isn't he afraid? Hahaha!"

Zhang Wuxian smiled faintly and said, "His siege vehicle can't get in, and if he stays down any longer, it will only increase casualties." If he didn't withdraw his troops, then did he have any other choice?" Immediately, Wang Ba understood the meaning of Zhang Wuxian's reinforcement, and praised it again and again.

At this time, a soldier flew on the fast horse, and when the soldier arrived in front of Zhang Wuxian, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, and then handed Zhang Wuxian a letter: "The sword hurts the spirit, and the two generals of Jiangmi urgently report the army." Zhang Wuxian frowned, then opened the letter, and after reading it, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and then frowned and looked at Gao Chun, and then looked at Wang Ren: "The two cities of Yangcheng and Outer Imperial City have been attacked, and we have no way to retreat." ”

After Wang Ba heard this, he immediately said: "Grandma's, these turtle grandchildren will do one thing in the open, and one set in secret, and unknowingly seal our back road." It doesn't matter if there is no way out, it is quick to fight him to the death! Anyway, this day will come sooner or later. ”

Zhang Wuxian nodded, and said: "Now that the matter is over, we can't drag it out forever, since they want to use three armies to block us alive, then let's also do something that they don't expect, we can't let them catch turtles alive in the urn here, right?"

After a pause, Zhang Wuxian said loudly: "Wang Ba, pass the order, gather all the generals above the commander of a thousand commanders, and discuss the affairs of the Chinese army shogunate." Wang Ba suddenly shook his spirits and shouted, "Hi!" and then left quickly.

Zhang Wushu glanced outside the city wall, this Daqi should not start any more wars in a short period of time, and said to Wang Ren and Gao Chun: "Two generals, please go to the Chinese army shogunate with me to discuss matters." The two nodded, and then all the generals above the commander were made in the Chinese Shogunate.

Zhang Wuxian sat on the main seat and knocked on the plan: "Generals, at this critical moment, we should fight against foreign enemies together, create a peaceful and prosperous era, and sweep away the obstacles of the six countries!" After a pause, Zhang Wuxian continued: "Now, the allied forces of the Six Nations have come in from the cities on the east and west sides of our Jiuyuan County, and there are enemy troops stationed in Xiangcheng in front, and now we are completely blocked in this city, such a grim situation, what do you say?"

Suddenly, the Chinese shogunate was boiling, with some supporting the initiative to attack, and some not supporting the initiative. The representative figure who supports it is Wang Ba, and the representative figure who does not support it is Gao Chun.

After a pause, he saw Wang Ba and said: "Your Majesty, we have no way to retreat now, if we don't take the initiative to start a war, then we will be slaughtered by others." Your Majesty, I can guarantee that even if the last general is willing to be slaughtered, the 100,000 soldiers will not be willing, Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wuxian nodded, and then looked at Gao Chun: "General Gao, tell me your opinion, why don't you support taking the initiative to start a war?"

After Gao Chun heard this, he stood up, arched his fist and said: "If we fight face to face, first of all, our army is insufficient, 100,000 against 400,000, the victory rate is too low, and Your Majesty, although we are now squeezed by the army of the three sides, but Your Majesty has not forgotten, there are still our 150,000 iron cavalry in Yeyang City, and when the 400,000 troops all gather in Xicheng to fight with our 100,000 people, 150,000 iron cavalry will come from the ground, which will definitely catch the enemy off guard, and it is possible to destroy the enemy." ”

After a pause, Zhang Wuxian felt that what Gao Chun said was also reasonable, and finally after an hour-long discussion, Zhang Wuxian gave the final order: "First of all, Wang Ba will lead 100,000 soldiers to attack Xiangcheng." Secondly, 150,000 soldiers were withdrawn from the opposite direction, and at the same time stationed around Langya County, and when the war was in full swing, 150,000 soldiers were dispatched in one fell swoop to destroy the Six-Nation Alliance. ”

It can be said that Zhang Wuxian's plan is an organic combination of two different views, which not only satisfies Wang Ba's statement and takes the initiative to attack, but also allows the 150,000 iron cavalry army to do its best to attack him by surprise. Immediately, Zhang Wuxian's arrangement was unanimously approved by the Chinese military shogunate, and it was finally scheduled to be implemented at night. The reason why it was set at night was because there was a cover of night, and it was not easy to be noticed when the 150,000 iron horsemen retreated.

At the same time, in Xiangcheng, Sima Yunlong sat on the general's seat again, this was Jiangnan who took the initiative to let Xian, Sima Yulong couldn't argue, so he had to agree. It's probably because Jiang Nan himself feels that this defeat is his own reason. After a pause, Sima Yulong sat on the general's seat, sighed and said: "Recently, we have lost one battle after another, and General Ben is very tormented in his heart. But now the war is in full swing, and I am very satisfied with the performance of Jiang Kun and Qiu Xiangyu on the east and west, but I am very dissatisfied with my performance. ”

After a pause, Sima Yulong continued: "Don't say anything else, since the past few wars, General Ben has made mistakes in judgment one after another. This is all the reason for General Ben. As he spoke, Sima Yulong sighed leisurely.

After a pause, Jiang Kun said: "General, you don't have to blame yourself too much, what you are bringing is the main force of the vanguard, so it is difficult to fight, besides, the main force of the enemy army is at the main gate, and the city gates on the east and west sides are easy to get your hands on." Since something went wrong, we should find a solution, and we shouldn't say why we failed, do you say yes, General?"

Sima Yulong nodded: "Jiang Kun, what you said makes sense, it's General Ben who has had problems recently. After a pause, he got to the point: "The failure this morning is because our army did not have the slightest preparation to attack the city, the number of ladders is too small, and in addition to the ladder siege vehicles, we also need to innovate in the siege of the city." ”

After Jiang Kun, Jiang Nan and Qiu Xiangyu heard it, they all looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't understand what Sima Yulong meant. The three of them stared at Sima Yulong directly, obviously signaling Sima Yulong to continue. But seeing this, Sima Yulong paused, and then said: "These two things are well-known to be used for siege, all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, as long as one thing comes out, then his nemesis will definitely follow." ”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with what Sima Yunlong said. But seeing Sima Yunlong walking to the door of the Chinese army shogunate with his hands behind his back: "But it is absolutely impossible to have only these two siege objects." Now that we have a nemesis, there is no need for us to go on this trip again. Immediately, Sima Yunlong took out a drawing from his waist, put it on the plan, and said: "All the generals come to take a look, this is the general's new siege equipment, this thing is called the siege tower, this is the drawing." ”

After hearing this, the three of them hurriedly surrounded them, after all, the three of them had been generals since childhood, and they had never heard of anyone innovating siege objects. The three of them looked at it, and they all frowned, Jiang Nan said: "General, how long does it take to cast this siege tower? How many people can be accommodated in it? Judging from the general's drawings, this equipment is completely reasonable." ”

But see, on the drawings, the tower is tall, and the tower is equipped with wheels, which can be traveled. During a siege battle, push it closer to the wall and the soldiers will be able to step directly from the platform at the top of the tower to the head of the enemy wall. It's a wonderful design!

After a pause, Jiang Kun sighed and said: "The general really deserves the title of God of War, so even if he Zhang Wuxian tries to stop it, he will definitely not be able to stop it." ”

Sima Yulong snorted coldly: "This is what you want, if the siege tower is made, it will take about three days, after all, this is a big project." During these three days, you will have a good rest and rest, and when my siege tower is born, it will be the time when his new dynasty will fall!"
