Wild Fox Ridge victory.

Ye Youhuan was proud.

At this time, the veteran Zhang Zhong found Ye Youhuan.

"Commander, I have good news for you." Zhang Zhong's face was overjoyed.

"Oh?" Ye Youhuan was very interested and curious: "What's a good thing?" ”

"When I was inspecting the barracks, I found siege equipment!" Zhang Zhong said excitedly.

"Where, I'll take a look!"

Ye Youhuan asked Zhang Zhong to lead the way and inspect the captured siege equipment.

When he arrived at the place, Ye Youhuan felt that he hadn't seen anything, there were only some strange-shaped pieces of wood in the open space, as if they were parts of something, and in addition, there were some large and small stones, the small stones were the size of watermelons, and the big stones were comparable to a small house.

"Could it be that these are the parts of the siege machine?" Ye Youhuan asked.

"That's right." Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "If the form of the siege troops is unfavorable, then these siege equipment will be useful." ”

"Is there a problem over there?" Ye Youhuan asked.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Zhong pursed his lips and said, "I think the princess thinks about the siege of the city too simply. ”

"Our strength is four times that of the other side!" Ye Youhuan was surprised.

"I have been a soldier for more than 40 years, and I have experienced a siege battle, and I remember the scene at that time, the high city pass was like a meat grinder." Zhang Zhong said with palpitations.

"Then I'll send a scout to investigate, and see if the princess has succeeded in knocking down Yepi Pass."

Ye Youhuan wanted to know the battle situation on the princess's side, so he dispatched scouts and hurried back.

He also instructed the scouts that if the princess's side did not attack the city well, they could use the siege equipment they had just captured to break the city.

After the scouts left, Ye Youhuan ordered people to assemble the siege equipment.

The people in charge of this matter are Zhang Zhong and Zhuge An.

There are two of them, one of whom has seen people use it with his own eyes, but he doesn't understand the principle.

One is that he is knowledgeable and understands the principles and structures, but he has never applied them in the book book.

The two of them commanded the assembly of siege equipment, which was just enough to make up for each other's shortcomings, and it didn't take long for a large catapult to be assembled.

Raising his head and looking at the big guy in front of him, Ye Youhuan sighed with emotion: "This catapult is inevitably too big." ”

Zhang Zhong pointed to the big stone on the side and said, "How can you project such a huge stone if it's not big." ”

"I don't know if these big guys are used."

Ye Youhuan was very conflicted, on the one hand, he hoped that his side would suffer less damage to the troops and be able to capture Yepi Pass smoothly.

On the other hand, he hopes to participate in siege warfare, witness the effectiveness of these siege equipment, and let people know how powerful they are.

In the end, we have to wait for the scouts sent out to return.

Before lunchtime, there were two scouts in return.

"Tell your lordship, we will split up on the road, and a wave will go around from the mountain road back to the front of Yepi Pass, and our two brothers will go directly to the back of Yepi Pass to observe." The scout said.

"How?" Ye Youhuan asked, "Is the battle still going on?" ”

"The battle is over."

"The siege failed?" Ye Youhuan noticed that the scout's face was not very good.

Just as Ye Youhuan guessed, the scout replied dejectedly: "The banner of the Liang army is still planted at the head of the city, but there is no sound of battle, either the siege failed, or we did not attack the city at all." ”

"Impossible." Zhuge An on the side said: "Time is pressing, Yepi Pass is a checkpoint that must be passed, and the princess will definitely lead people to attack the city today." ”

"yes!" Ye Youhuan also agreed, in the battle of the Chinese army last night, those generals studied how to attack for so long, how could they say that they would stop if they didn't attack the city!

"It should have been a failure of the siege." Zhuge An analyzed: "It seems that Mr. Zhang Zhong is right, it is so easy to attack the city, but it is ......"

"But what?" Ye Youhuan asked.

"But it won't be like that today, the team will go back and rest, and there should be a resumption of the attack in the afternoon." Zhuge An analyzed.

Zhao Liang on the side was puzzled: "This kind of thing should be done in one go, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, don't princesses understand this truth." ”

Zhuge An said: "It really needs to be done in one go, and the longer it drags on, the smaller the chance of capturing the city, so they won't wait until tomorrow and will continue to attack the city in the afternoon." ”

"Our number is more than four times that of the Liang people, can't we beat a small city pass like this?" Ye Youhuan asked.

"Judging from the princess that their war ended so early, the enemy's strength must have been higher than the princess expected. That's why the battle ended early, re-evaluated the enemy, and came back in the afternoon, the second wave of attacks would be more powerful than the first, but if this wave of attacks was successfully held by the people of Yeguan, then under the huge decline in morale, it would be almost impossible for the princess to break through Picheng. ”

"What now?" Ye Youhuan asked Zhuge An.

Zhuge An stroked his goatee and fell into deep thought.

Everyone looked at Zhuge An, waiting to hear him analyze the situation.

In Ye Youhuan's camp, Zhuge An was the most shrewd person, so everyone waited quietly and did not bother.

After a long time, a smile slowly appeared on Zhuge An's face, and he had a plan in his heart.

He was just about to open his mouth to say what he thought, but Ye Youhuan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke first.

"Cough-" Ye Youhuan coughed lightly, and then said: "Why don't we take the siege equipment and attack Yepi Pass, let's go there first and lurk, and when the princess attacks the city, we will attack the enemy from behind and kill the enemy by surprise." ”

"That's what I thought too." Meng Fei said: "I wanted to say this for a long time, but seeing that Brother Zhuge was pondering, I didn't dare to disturb." ”

"Hmm......" Zhao Liang and the other two both nodded.

It seems that everyone other than Zhuge An has already thought about what to do next.

"Brother Zhuge , do you have any high opinions?"

After this battle, Ye Youhuan became respectful of Zhuge An, after all, it was Zhuge An who discovered the illusion of the enemy general.

Ye Youhuan was very glad that Zhuge An was pulled onto the 'thief ship' by himself.

If it weren't for Zhuge An's ability to see through the illusion, then Ye Youhuan wouldn't have dared to use his five hundred people to challenge the enemy's two thousand five hundred.

"I think you guys have a good idea." Zhuge An said embarrassedly, he came up with a pincer strategy after thinking about it, but the few people in front of him who he regarded as brainless and reckless people actually came up with plans before himself.

"That's good!" Ye Youhuan said: "With siege equipment, the whole army will attack, and the target is Yepi Pass. ”

Ye Youhuan won the first battle, and then he had to go to war again.

The army assembled and removed the wounded, and Ye Youhuan found that more than half of the dead and wounded on his side.

At the beginning, there were more than 400 soldiers who raided the camp, and now only 245 people are left who still have combat effectiveness.

Ye Youhuan led the soldiers to kill happily, but the advantage of the other party's numbers was there, even if the poison scheme had been used, it was still inevitable that there would be casualties.
