Wu Zixu was silent for a while, and then replied for a long time: "It will take ten days!" ”

Jiang Ai frowned, in his thoughts, at most, three days to control the entire Jishui County, and then march into Jidong County, but she didn't expect that Wu Zixu told him that it would take ten days.

This is the first time she has commanded an expedition of the samurai army, and this battle, which can be said to be a battle to destroy the country, is successful, her prestige in the army will inevitably be greatly improved, she attaches great importance to it, and hopes that the sooner the better.

In ten days, she could imagine that Jidong County must have already set up defenses, and at that time, it might fall into a protracted war.

Wei Hao and Wei Feng are not the same kind of people, Wei Feng can surrender without a fight, but Wei Hao is definitely not such a person, and this person, who once guarded Tongbai City, only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu army have no choice against him.

It can be said that this is such a strong general to defend the city, and now he has 80,000 reserves, and the population of the entire Jidong County is as much as 800,000, and these 800,000 people may be transformed into troops in Wei Hao's hands at any time.

The most basic ability of a qualified defender is to transform some ineffective people into combat-effective soldiers.

Wei Hao is a very qualified general who guards the city, but this time he is not guarding a city, but a county.

Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Ai and said: "The cities that Jishui County has not yet conquered are all backed by rivers, and they are not some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"Our army crosses the river and attacks, and the losses will be a little large, so I want to block the water flowing into the city, then store the water, and then ten days later, open a square embankment and break the city by water attack!" Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Ai and said.

Jiang Ai looked at the map, now there are only two cities left in Jishui City, and these two cities have one thing in common, that is, they are surrounded by rivers and have natural fortifications.

If they bypass these two cities and do not fight, when the Qi army attacks, they will be backstabbed, which is not good for the Qi army.

Therefore, the Qi army must break these two cities in order to attack Jidong County with peace of mind.

And attacking these two cities, if you use the conventional method of siege, it will inevitably be a heavy loss, relying on manpower to pile up, and kill it, and Wu Zixu believes that this battle to destroy Wei, the battle against Wei may be a small battle, and the real decisive battle is to face the Chu State.

Wu Zixu also knew that the Chu army had about 700,000 troops into Wei, and they sent so many troops to enter Wei, they must not have taken one city or two cities and left, they must have wanted to get a lot of places.

Both sides want to get territory, and this will inevitably lead to friction, which can lead to military conflicts.

If there are serious losses in troops, how can you fight in the rear? Mobilizing troops from the state of Qi?

I'm afraid that he will have to be dismissed, the strongest mobile unit in the Qi country, the samurai legion, is here, what reinforcements do you want, the Yanzhou legion? Xuzhou Legion?

To deal with a Chu State and fight a local war, can you mobilize the two major corps in the territory of the Qi State?

These two large corps will definitely be used, but they will definitely not be used in a small local war.

Although Wu Zixu knew that he would definitely compete with the State of Chu for food in the future, Wu Zixu also knew that the scale of this war for food would not be too large, because it was not time for the State of Qi to launch a decisive battle with the State of Chu.

"Ten days?" Although Jiang Ai felt that it was very long, she could only wait like this, because each of his samurai legions carried three horses, mainly fighting as cavalry, and it was absolutely impossible to carry out the project.

The samurai legions came here mainly to conduct large field battles, to attack their legions, or to raid their military strongholds.

The samurai legion will never be used to attack the city unless it is forced to do so, and the main role of this siege is the vanguard legion.

Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Ai and said, "As long as the water is almost stored, we will attack the city, but Jidong County is the one I am most worried about now!" ”

"With Wei Hao's way of fighting, he definitely won't fight with us in the field, and he is also good at trap combat!"

"I'm worried that the samurai legion will ......," Wu Zixu expressed his concerns, and he had been studying Wei Hao before and during this time.

He knew that this man had never fought in a field battle since he joined the army, and the greatest role of the samurai legion was raid warfare and field warfare.

It can be said that in the battle of Jidong County, Wu Zixujue's Jiang Ai is useless, and there is no large group army, and there is no important station, you need to raid, and various important areas have set traps in ambush.

If he allowed the samurai legion to guerrilla and attack here, he could feel that Jiang Ai might be ambushed, and when the time came, if the samurai legion was destroyed, he would be to blame, and Jiang Ai would also be to blame.

And the samurai legion is a very important legion for the Qi country, and he will inevitably play a great role in future wars.

Originally, he planned to come directly with the vanguard army, but when he learned of the arrival of the Chu State, he asked the samurai army to come to support.

The warrior army entered Wei, and the main enemy was not the Wei people, but the Chu people.

Jiang Ai looked at Wu Zixu with both eyes: "On this expedition, you asked Your Majesty to let the samurai legion go on the expedition, why did you get to Wei and not let our samurai legion show your skills?" ”

Jiang Ai is meritorious, but when Wu Zixu said this, her heart was a little uncomfortable, Wu Zixu waved his hand: "Your enemy is not the Wei people, the samurai army entered the Wei people to deter the Chu people!" ”

"This war in Jidong County, let's just fight, you guys are stationed here, do a good job of attacking the Chu people!" Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Ai and said.

"My rank is also general, you are just the commander of the corps, you don't have the authority to order me!" Jiang Ai snorted coldly.

General, the highest military rank in the Qi State, there are only four people in the Qi State who have this rank, namely Jiang Ai, Tian Ji, Zhou Baotong and Sun Bin.

Although Tian Ji and Sun Bin did not hold military power with military ranks, these two people have a very high prestige in the army, Tian Ji's prestige lies in the Jiaodong children of the Yanzhou Army, and although Sun Bin is not in the army, many of the children of the Sun family serve in the Jizhou Army.

On the battlefield, the position is mainly high, followed by the rank, and Jiang Ai does not belong to Wu Zixu's soldiers, so who manages the two depends on the military rank.

Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Ai and said, "General Jiang Ai, I hope you will take the big move as the priority!" ”

Jiang Ai stood up, looked at Wu Zixu and said, "If you don't break Jidong County, I will refer to you in front of Your Majesty!" ”

After Wu Zixu heard Jiang Ai's words, the corners of his mouth smiled, he knew that he had persuaded Jiang Ai, he clenched his fists and said, "General Xie Jiang Ai!" ”

Jiang Ai glanced at Wu Zixu, then turned around and left here.
