Chapter 914: Li Dai Tao Stiff
Chapter 914: Li Dai Tao Stiff
A few hours later, when the generals of the Liang army on the upper floor of the Tiger Prison Pass saw the huge catapult of more than 300 catapults under the city tower, everyone was stunned and looked unacceptable.
"How so? How could the coalition still have so many catapults? ”
"Our army has killed and wounded so many soldiers, is it just useless work?"
For a while, a wave of grief and despair spread among the generals of the Liang army, and even the morale of ordinary soldiers was greatly affected.
In fact, this is not to blame them for their glass hearts, you must know that this time in order to destroy the catapult convoy, the Liang army paid a heavy price of 20,000 killed, 8,000 troops abandoned, and a total of 30,000 troops.
It was not easy to destroy eighty percent of the coalition army's catapults, but in the blink of an eye, the coalition forces launched more than 300 catapults, so what is the meaning of their previous sacrifice?
"What the hell is going on?"
All the generals of the Liang army were full of doubts about this, after all, after such a long battle, both sides almost knew the bottom line.
The reason why the coalition army was able to force Li Shimin to lead the army out of the pass was because it had a huge number of more than 500 catapults, and completely suppressed the 200 catapults on the city tower, forcing the Liang army defending the city to no longer be able to defend.
If the coalition forces still have extra catapults, they must have been used in the previous siege battles, after all, it will also reduce the casualties of the coalition siege.
The fact that the coalition did not do so proves that the coalition forces did not have more catapults, but where did these catapults come from now?
Everyone was extremely puzzled by this, even Li Shimin's brows were furrowed, and then a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid our army has fallen for Qin Hao's bag drop plan." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
In fact, not only the coalition forces were shocked, but the coalition generals who had just experienced the big war saw that so many catapults had been transported, and everyone was also shocked.
Ma Chao, who was wrapped in bandages, looked at Qin Hao like a good baby and asked, "Alliance leader, what's going on?" ”
The reason why Ma Chao became one of the top ten generals of Longmen was that he took the initiative to win it, and Qin Hao also saw that after Ma Chao joined, he could activate the 'Five Tigers Breaking Pole', so he agreed to Ma Chao to join the ranks of the ten generals of Longmen.
The battle that just ended was far more difficult for Ma Chao than expected, and his opponent Liang Shitai was not too famous in the Liang army, but he forced Ma Chao into danger several times.
If it weren't for Ma Chao's luck and a breakthrough in the battle, I'm afraid he would have died under Liang Shitai's hammer, but even if he broke through, Ma Chao still didn't win against Liang Shitai, but he finally had no back legs.
As soon as Ma Chao asked this question, the rest of the generals also looked at Qin Hao expectantly, and Qin Hao smiled indifferently and explained: "It's very simple, among the five hundred catapults, two hundred were actually secretly dropped. ”
The generals immediately looked at Xue Rengui, after all, he was the main general of this battle, and it was impossible not to know.
Under the gaze of one sharp gaze, even Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, and then he stiffened his head and said with a bitter smile: "That's right, among the catapults we guard, two hundred are just empty shells. ”
"I see......"
Zhao Yun showed a sudden expression, and said with a wry smile: "I just said that when the city was attacked yesterday, why was there always a catapult between every two but it was not used, it turned out to be fake!" ”
"Since it's a lure to the enemy, why don't you secretly drop all the five hundred catapults?"
Ma Chao asked suspiciously, and this is also the question in the hearts of most of the other generals, after all, there is no loss if all the bags are dropped!
"If all of them are pretended to be fakes, Li Shimin will definitely be able to see it, and naturally he will not dare to go out of the city easily."
Xue Rengui looked at the generals and explained unhurriedly: "How can you catch a big fish without spending a little money?" That's why I offer this Li Dai Taozhuang's plan to the lord. ”
"Wonderful, this plan not only lures Li Shimin out, but also reduces the loss of the catapult, and most importantly, it will not affect the siege in the future, it is simply a triple win."
Huang Zhong's eyes were full of appreciation, and then he said: "It's just that I can't even hide my robes, this is too inauthentic." ”
"yes, yes......"
The generals echoed one after another, and Xue Rengui explained with a wry smile: "If you know that the catapult behind you is fake, how can everyone kill the enemy so hard?" If the generals don't have to do their best, how can the soldiers be brave? ”
The generals groaned and found that it did make sense, and seeing that Xue Rengui had taken this detail into account, the generals couldn't help but admire Xue Rengui, and the princes only had envy in their eyes.
Xue Rengui seems to be loyal and honest, but in fact he is delicate, not only proficient in arranging troops, but also not bad at scheming and strategy, he is simply the second white start.
Some of the princes thought so in their hearts, but they ignored Xue Rengui's force, you must know that Xue Rengui has already been promoted to the god of war-level fierce general.
Qin Hao saw that Xue Rengui had established his prestige, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, he used and praised Xue Rengui so much, didn't he pave the way for this legendary marshal, and with the experience of several major battles against Dong, Xue Rengui would no longer have any obstacles in leading an army alone in the future.
"Well, it's not time to relax."
As soon as Qin Hao's words came out, all the generals immediately shut up and waited for Qin Hao's words.
"Yu Gong died in an accident, the leader of this alliance swore to kill Hou Yi and avenge Yu Gong, from today on, the whole army will attack the city day and night, and will not stop if the tiger prison is not broken."
After speaking, Qin Hao turned his head and looked at Gongsun with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "General Gongsun, this first round of siege tasks will be handed over to you, and this time the leader of this alliance will personally beat the drums and cheer for your Youzhou army." ”
Although Gongsun Zhan was bitter in his heart when he heard this, he didn't dare to refuse on the surface, and said in a deep voice: "The Youzhou army will definitely live up to the high expectations of the alliance leader. ”
Qin Hao nodded, but he felt more and more shameless in his heart.
Hou Yi used a sun-shooting arrow to shoot Qin Hao missed, but he shot Liu Yu behind him to death, so Liu Yu was also killed by Qin Hao, but now Qin Hao is still using the remains of a dead man, which is really shameless.
"There is nothing shameless in war, as long as it can be won, any means are available."
Qin Hao shook his head, after dispelling the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then in front of the big drum in front of the formation, he was ready to personally cheer for the Youzhou army that was about to attack the city.
Under the Tiger Prison Pass, a siege team composed of 10,000 Youzhou troops has already stood in line, and the rear is a new catapult team that has not chosen to assist in the siege.
Gongsun Zhan glanced at Qin Hao, who had already picked up the drumstick, and then pulled out the sword on his waist and shouted: "Youzhou Army, attack, avenge Gong Yu." ”
"Revenge, revenge, revenge......"
