Wang Yong sighed: "The loss of our army is at least more than 5,000, general, we have suffered a big loss today, but we must not just forget it, please give me another 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will rush again!" ”

Liang Cheng looked at the banner at the head of the other party's city, listening to the bursts of singing from the city, his eyes were almost spewing fire, his hand was tightly grasping the lance, but he still shook his head: "We must not be stunned to attack, today our army is defeated, the morale of the soldiers has been frustrated, it is impossible to take it down again, since there is a heavy catapult in the city, the garrison must be very strong, by no means the two or three thousand people we see now, give the order, clean up the defeated army, all the catapults are now smashed for me, I wouldn't make them too proud! ”

Four or five pounds of weight, watermelon-sized stones flew all over the sky, raindrops fell into the city, three or four thousand Jin soldiers who withdrew from the city head were leaning on the root corner of the city wall, talking and laughing, talking and laughing about the exciting battle just now, in front of the people's houses, there were already auxiliaries on the top of the catapult to add a large number of wooden rows, small stones smashed on it, and soon bounced to the side, while the catapult below was unharmed, the falling stones were quickly carried away by the people, and stacked together, As a weapon in the next siege battle.

At the base of the city wall, Liu Yu stood with his arms crossed, Zhu Lingshi on one side was wiping the blood stains on Liu Yu's Hundred Refining Iron Knife with a thick cloth, while Zhu Chaoshi looked at Liu Yu with a look of adoration, and kept shaking his head: "Master, you are really amazing, you are simply a god descending from heaven, I have never seen such a brave warrior as you, today I count the enemy troops you killed and defeated the city, there are no less than fifty." ”

Zhu Lingshi laughed: "If it weren't for the fact that the master would have to keep rescuing other companions, and the place at the head of the city is a little smaller, the master's big knife can't be cut round, otherwise it won't be a problem for the master to kill a hundred or so more." ”

Murong Nan wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "You two boys, at a young age, you haven't learned anything else, but you have learned to be a sycophant." ”

Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Okay, Murong, everyone is happy today, don't spoil their interest." However, after going through this battle today, I think they have learned a lot. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Lingshi: "Lingshi, tell me, what did you learn today?" ”

Zhu Lingshi put away his smile, put down the big knife in his hand, and said: "The way of attack and defense, I have learned, use a cloth curtain to prevent flying stones, when the enemy attacks with bows and arrows, you must ambush and forbear, and only use strong troops to counterattack when the hoplites attack the city, and finally use catapults to attack the enemy's dense formation when the enemy ants are attached to the siege, and then use catapults to beat the enemy's dense formation, and break it in one fell swoop." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "In fact, these tactics are available in the war book, but the key is in their use. The key to defending the city is to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops, so before the critical time, weapons of mass destruction should not be used easily, because the enemy army is outside the city, and there is a numerical advantage, especially the catapult, which can effectively suppress the long-range weapons at the head of our city, once we are exposed first, then the enemy army can use catapults and rockets to destroy our long-range weapons. ”

Murong Nan nodded: "So, you have to show weakness to the enemy and let them see the hope of capturing the city, so that you will invest a lot of troops and then mass-kill them at one time, right?" ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Yes, that's right, the art of war is about the combination of fiction and reality, but the fundamental purpose is to conceal one's intentions to crack the enemy's tricks." The victory in today's battle lies in the fact that we can take advantage of the Qin army everywhere and see the moves. ”

Xu Yuanlang came over with a smile, and a flying stone flew over about two feet above his head, and with a "woo" sound, it directly hit a house twenty steps away, smashing a big hole in the grass roof covered with silt, followed by a burst of scolding.

Xu Yuanlang instinctively shrunk his neck, and then scolded with a smile: "Grandma, where did this Qin army get so many stones, it hasn't been smashed for so long." ”

On the side, Hikozhi laughed: "After so many deaths, we have to find some ground, anyway, there are many stones outside the city, but this is fine, now our trebuchet does not have to worry about stones." ”

Liu Yu nodded and looked at Xu Yuanlang: "Lord Xu, although we won today's battle and killed and injured at least four or five thousand enemy troops, the strength of the enemy army is still there, and they will have a steady stream of reinforcements, and we will have one less person who dies, so the current situation is still not optimistic." ”

As soon as Liu Yu said this, everyone's smiles stayed on their faces, like a basin of cold water poured down from their heads, making everyone's brains, which were a little hot because of excitement, become a little sober.

Murong Nan hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Liu Yu: "Lord Liu, then what do you say we are going to do now, what other ways will the enemy army attack the city?" ”

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "The enemy's siege today, is to take advantage of a wave of strong attacks, Liang Cheng even the heavy guards of the Chinese army have been dispatched, it can be said that this army has used all its strength, but our city is not moving, especially the last wave of large-scale stone-throwing killing, heavy damage to the main force of the Chinese army, only relying on these 50,000 Qin troops, it should not be easy to organize a fierce attack, if I am Liang Cheng, I will wait for the reinforcements of the large army behind, and even change the strong attack to the siege." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu glanced at Xu Yuanlang and said, "After the grain and grass in the city are rationed, how long will it be enough to manage?" Where is it stored? ”

Xu Yuanlang nodded hurriedly and said, "The grain and grass are enough to eat for three months, and they are all concentrated in the county guard's mansion, and my eldest brother is personally guarding it." ”

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he hurriedly opened his eyes: "Why doesn't the grain exist in the warehouse, it is placed in the county guard's mansion, there are no fire prevention and isolation measures, what if it is attacked by the enemy?" ”

Xu Yuanlang shook his head: "Lord Liu, this is also a last resort, the original warehouse of Shouchun City is outside the city, and the Thorn History Mansion in the city was burned last year and turned into a white land, which temporarily changed the spare granary in the city to the Thorn History Mansion." Of course, it was impossible for the Thorn Mansion to cover the sky, so we temporarily removed the roof and the exterior wall, as you can see. ”

Liu Yu was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "The outer wall and roof of the granary are specially made, and they must be added with fire-resistant masonry, you have demolished these, what if the enemy army attacks by fire?" ”

Xu Yuanlang's eyes widened: "Then what should I do now?" ”

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and went straight to the assassin history, and Murong Nan shouted, "Beware of flying stones." ”

Liu Yu didn't reply, he waved his hand directly in the air, and his feet were not slow at all: "Come with me!" ”
