"That..."

Wan bit his lip tightly and looked a little embarrassed.

"If you want to fight, you will fight hard, and Lao Tzu will not believe that you can't beat a tired army."

Sha Dingzhou clenched his fists and said viciously.

Wan Shi does have some truth when he thinks about it.

This Ming army is said to have been led by Qin Liangyu. They must have been very tired from the long journey from eastern Sichuan to Yunnan, and most of the reason why they were able to take Fengwu was good luck.

If Sha Dingzhou was replaced to sit in Fengwu, it would be impossible for the Ming army to take it.

Such an army seems to be in full swing, but in fact it is the end of a strong crossbow, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

All they had to do was to wait for work at ease, stay in the city of Kunming and wait for the Ming army to attack.

"Well, that husband should still order martial law in the whole city to prevent the Ming army from sneaking into the city and causing chaos."

Sha Dingzhou nodded lightly and said, "This is natural." However, Weifu was not ready to order someone to block the city gate, but set up a temporary camp outside the city gate, so that he could go out of the city to pursue the Ming army at any time. ”

There are generally two ways to defend the city, one is to defend it completely.

In this case, the city guards will order people to block the inner city gate with huge stones.

In this way, it is impossible for the besieging party to use a general battering ram to break open the city gate, and can only choose to attack the city with ants.

And this method of siege will pay a great price, and even if you finally take the city, you will lose a layer of skin.

But the defenders blocked the city gate, and naturally it was impossible to break through the city gate.

Generally, in this case, the defenders are prepared for a battle against the water, and do not consider the possibility of retreat.

There is also a way to defend the city, which is what Sha Dingzhou said: build a camp outside the city gate to block the attack.

This tactic is very suitable for the city of Weng.

This is the case with the city of Kunming.

In the case of Weng City, even if the first gate is breached, there is no danger, on the contrary, the besieging party may be taken into the pocket and beaten randomly.

In this case, the defenders will set up a camp outside the city.

If the besieging party wants to attack a city gate, the first thing they need to do is attack the camp in front of the gate.

If the defenders can't beat it, they can retreat to the city. If the besiegers continued their pursuit, they would face volleys from all sides.

And if the defender of the city has the advantage, it can even go out of the village to pursue.

Even in the worst-case scenario, when the city is about to be breached, the defenders can choose to break out of the siege without being trapped in the city.

Under normal circumstances, when the defenders feel confident, they will choose the second way. And if they feel pessimistic, they generally choose the first option.

Of course, Sha Dingzhou thought that he was the superior party, so he did not hesitate to choose to build a camp outside the city gate.

Sha Dingzhou laughed and said: "It seems that the Ming Court is really unavailable, and it actually sent an old woman in her seventies to command the army, which really makes people laugh at their big teeth." Lao Tzu is going to capture Qin Liangyu alive this time! ”

...

...

After Qin Liangyu led the army to the city of Kunming, he did not immediately order the siege of the city, but ordered the soldiers to form a formation.

At the same time, she ordered the soldiers to start digging tunnels.

What she wanted to use was the tried and tested tactics of Gao Jie's Northern Expedition to completely blast the city wall apart.

This tactic minimizes the losses of the besieging side and maximizes the lives of the soldiers.

It's just that Qin Liangyu has never used it before, and although he heard that it is very easy to use, he is inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart.

Seeing that the Ming army began to dig the tunnel, Sha Dingzhou at the head of the city laughed and said: "Madam, you see, this old woman didn't even dare to attack the city with ants, and began to dig a pit." ”

Wan Shi also smiled: "This Qin Liangyu seems to be really old and confused. How can it be possible to dig tunnels and siege the city without a month? And as long as we defend ourselves, they won't succeed. ”

Sha Dingzhou snorted, squinting his eyes slightly and staring at the gradually rising mound.

"What do you think would happen if we sent someone to fill in the hole?"

Wan's eyes lit up and said: "This plan is very good, suffocate them to death inside!" ”

The space in the tunnel is small and the air is thin, and if you block the mouth of the cave again, the people inside will really suffocate to death.

Of course, this move will not hurt the Ming army, it is more of a demonstration, telling Qin Liangyu that Sha Dingzhou is not easy to bully.

"Okay, then do it!"

...

...

"Look, big man!"

Zeng Ying saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the camp and towards the mound with great momentum, and hurriedly reminded Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu said majestically: "General Zeng, you bring five hundred horsemen to stop them." ”

Qin Liangyu was not worried that the entrance of the cave would be filled by the rebels, but even more worried that the rebels would see the reality in the tunnel.

After all, the general tunnels will be dug very wide, so that a large number of soldiers can be transported in.

But the Ming army only dug the tunnel this time than the size of a coffin.

If the rebels were allowed to see the details and report to Sha Dingzhou, they would probably suspect the true intentions of the Ming army.

Qin Liangyu didn't know that Sha Dingzhou had heard of the tactic of bombing the city without a coffin, but he should still be careful.

This tactical burst is definitely more effective.

Zeng Ying immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Zeng Ying turned his horse's head and ordered 500 people to kill those rebel cavalry.

Speed in cavalry duels is key.

Whoever can get the speed up will have a better chance of winning in the hedge.

At this point, the Ming army led by Zeng Ying clearly had the upper hand.

Their mounts are more explosive than the rebels' Dian horses, and their ability to accelerate in a short period of time is transcendent.

The rebels did not panic when they saw the sudden arrival of the Ming cavalry, adjusted their formation, and decided to have a hard encounter.

I saw the yellow dust rolling, and the two teams of cavalry were facing each other, and suddenly the people turned on their backs and neighed.

Zeng Ying was very experienced in combat, and he skillfully used the length advantage of the horse lance in his hand to sweep several rebel soldiers under his horse.

Most of these rebel soldiers used knives, and they posed no threat to Zeng Ying at all.

The other Ming cavalry were also very brave, they were all Zeng Ying's personal soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was significantly higher than that of the rebel soldiers, and they only rushed one round to break the rebel formation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rebel generals hurriedly signaled to retreat.

At this time, if you continue to fight, not only will you not be able to take advantage, but you may also fold yourself in it.

The cavalry of the Ming army would not let them go so easily.

They skillfully controlled the horse in pursuit, and in the course of the pursuit, nearly 100 rebel cavalry were cut under their horses.

The rest of the rebel cavalry fled for their lives in a hurry, and they fled all the way into the camp before they dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Sha Dingzhou couldn't help but be furious when he saw this.

"This kind of garbage is really embarrassing to Lao Tzu."

Wan comforted: "Don't be angry, husband. It's good that the hole hasn't been filled in now. When the tunnels of the Ming army are about to be dug and a large number of soldiers are transported in, we will divert the aqueduct and drown them alive! ”

Hearing this, Sha Dingzhou was in a slightly better mood, nodded and said, "Yes, catch them all!" ”
