That Tian Tan came up with a way to break Su County in just one day?

On August 28, when Zhao Hongrun once again watched from afar as the Qi army attacked Suxian again, he couldn't help but think like this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

You know, he doesn't have any good way to target this city at the moment, but Tian Tan has already come up with a way to crack it, doesn't it mean that Tian Tan's talent is still above him?

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Hongrun's heart was really a little stressed, because he was a little prejudiced against Tian Tan, so that he never wanted to be compared to this man.

However, when he saw the formation of the Qi army today, he couldn't help but sneer, which caused the puzzled eyes of several sect guards around him.

"Why is Your Highness laughing?"

Zongwei Changwei was really a little incomprehensible, because of the current situation, the Qi army was about to attack Suxian, it should be a very serious atmosphere, why did his Royal Highness laugh out loud?

"Nothing." Zhao Hongrun shook his head slightly and said.

The sect guards looked at each other, pondered carefully for a while, and did not come up with the reason why their highness laughed.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun, who was looking at the formation of the Qi army from afar, had a strange smile on his face, and the reason was the location of those catapults in the Qi army.

I remember that the day before yesterday, the catapults in the Qi army were all arranged in a zigzag pattern, which seemed to be that Tian Tanjian drove his subordinates to attack Suxian at that time, and he was ruthless, hoping to destroy the city wall of Suxian with catapults.

But the problem is that Suxian is a fortress-level city - before the Chu State Xingfu left the fortress, Suxian was a fortress used by the Chu State to resist the attack of the Qi army, and the strength of the city wall was not comparable to that of an ordinary county town at all.

Like the indiscriminate bombardment of the Qi army the day before yesterday, in the end, it only made the outside of the wall of the south city wall of Suxian County a few more dents and cracks, and that's it.

But today, those catapults in the Qi army are located in a fan-like arc, and Zhao Hongrun judged that Tian Tan was probably planning to concentrate firepower to collapse a city wall today.

And the reason why he laughed was because Tian Tan's trick was the most "stupid" method in his heart.

Of course, the "stupid" mentioned here refers to simple and straightforward, no technical content, and takes a lot of time, but if you think about it carefully, the siege war is the most labor-intensive battle, like the Yanling army's two-day capture of Hao County, which is based on the fact that there is a large gap in the quality of the two soldiers, how can it happen every time?

It may be the safest to attack Suxian in a down-to-earth and step-by-step manner like Tian Tan.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun put away the sneer on his face.

He was a little ashamed, because Tian Tan's trick, he had already thought of it, but he felt that this trick was too stupid and could not reflect his wisdom of King Su, so he left it behind, but if he thought about it carefully, this was the best way to break Su County at the moment.

It seems that the successive victories have also made me feel a little more confident......

Zhao Hongrun was secretly vigilant.

It's no wonder, after all, there is a way to break the city, but he dislikes that the plan is stupid and not shocking enough, so he abandons it.

On the other hand, Tian Tan, who is sitting in the main formation of the Qi army at this moment, is obviously also a famous general who has broken more than 100 cities and millions of enemies, and is a famous general with outstanding achievements, but he is not burdened by fame at all, and he did not hesitate to choose the most stupid but also the most effective strategy at present, this indifferent mentality makes Zhao Hongrun quite admired.

He praised from the bottom of his heart from the bottom of his heart: He is worthy of being a famous general!

"Bang bang bang-"

With a deafening loud sound, dozens and hundreds of stone bullets flew up from the formation of the Qi army, whistling, with strong wind pressure, and smashed into a section of the city wall in the south of Suxian County.

Even if it was far away, Zhao Hongrun could see that the outer wall of the southern city wall of Suxian County had become fragmented under the attack of these huge stone bullets.

Looking at this scene, Zongwei Muqing couldn't help but pouted and said, "I thought that Tian Tan had come up with some clever plan, but I didn't expect it to be such a stupid method based on pure brute force. …… I can imagine that, too. ”

Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mu Qing.

It is true that the strategy used by Tian Tan is not glamorous, even if it is the Zongwei who are inexperienced in siege warfare, let alone those veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time?

However, what is precious is that Tian Tan took the lead in breaking the deadlock of successive defeats of the Wei army on the west road and the Qi army on the east road in Suxian.

And this is the duty of the commander-in-chief of the first army.

What the? Personally lead the troops into battle and command the battle?

No, that's the duty of a general, not a commander.

As the commander of an army, you can never be helpless, even if you use a trick that seems stupid to others, it is better than you have already figured out a solution, but for various reasons you hide it in the bottom of your heart.

Because, blind obedience is the norm in the army, if you, as a commander, do not give orders, even if they seem stupid to you, after many days, it will have a negative impact on the morale of the idle generals.

On the battlefield, the best way to maintain morale, apart from winning battles, is to drive the soldiers one after another, so that the latter have no time to think about things that will affect their morale and will not help them win the battle.

To put it bluntly, it is to let those soldiers have no time to take care of other things.

In this regard, Tian Tan is more decisive and decisive than Zhao Hongrun, and he really deserves to be a famous general in half his life.

But then again, although I admired the choice made by Tian Tan, this battle also became boring because of this, because the so-called attack of the Qi army on Suxian was actually hundreds of catapults bombarding a section of the southern city wall of Suxian County without interruption, what is there to see?

What's the lesson to be learned from this?

Therefore, not to mention that the guards were boring to watch, even Zhao Hongrun yawned again and again - he came up with an amazing plan to break the city last night, but he didn't close his eyes for most of the night, so that he was sleepy and tired now.

I don't know how long it took, there was a loud "boom" in the distance, as if it was the movement of the collapse of the mountain, and Zhao Hongrun, who was sitting on horseback and napping with his eyes closed, was almost startled.

"How...... What's going on? Zhao Hongrun asked with a frightened look.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao, who had always been watching the battlefield, said in a solemn tone: "The city wall of Su County has collapsed. …… The catapults of the Qi army finally collapsed the city wall of Su County. ”

Unlike the rest of the Zong Wei who can get distracted because they are bored, as the head of the Zong Guard, Wei Jiao's duty is to assist Zhao Hongrun and supervise anything worthy of supervision, such as the boring siege battle of the Qi army in front of him - even if it is boring, he must keep his eyes open and watch intently.

"Collapsed?"

Zhao Hongrun muttered and turned his head to look at the city wall of Suxian County.

Sure enough, I saw that the strong city wall of Su County had already collapsed, but the collapse had accumulated a large number of stone bullets of the Qi army, as well as the broken stone fragments of the two caused by the violent collision between the stone bullets and the wall, so if the Qi army wanted to use this gap as a breakthrough point, it would still be difficult.

At this time, in addition to Wei Jiao, the four sect guards who were actually in a daze were also in a daze, and they also came to their senses at this time.

For example, Zong Wei Zhou Pu, I saw his eyes narrow, and said as if affirmatively: "The Qi army is going to attack!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but set his eyes on the Qi army's main formation, and was slightly surprised in his heart: Tian Tan, will he really use that gap as a breakthrough and order an attack?

He shook his head and said slowly: "If I were Tian Tan, I wouldn't attack immediately. ”

Zong Wei Zhou Pu turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hongrun in surprise, although he didn't say anything, but looking at his expression, he seemed to be in disbelief.

In his opinion, the Qi army has obviously collapsed the city wall of Suxian County, and if he does not order an attack at this time, when will he wait?

However, it turned out that Tian Tan's decision was obviously on Zhao Hongrun's side, and he did not give the order to force his army into the city against the gap, but drove the numerous catapults to continue to bombard the city walls of Suxian, obviously wanting to expand the scope of the gap.

Clever!

Zhao Hongrun secretly praised it, and when he turned his head, he saw Zongwei Zhou Pu's face puzzled, although he mentioned him and said: "Zhou Pu, look at the gap, it is only a gap of more than ten zhang, if the Qi army is impatient to attack, do you really think they will attack the ground?" …… In fact, as long as the Chu general Wu Yuan sent people to block the inside of the gap, the Qi army still could not enter the city. …… In addition, the catapult of the Qi army has also become an ornament in order not to injure Tong Ze by mistake. Such an outcome is nothing more than the stalemate between the two armies on the city wall and the transfer to that gap, and even the gap is narrower, which is actually more beneficial to the Chu army. In that case, why rush to attack? Why not continue to widen the scope of the gap? …… It must be known that the bigger the gap is, the greater the blow to the morale of the Chu army in the city, and in the end, the morale of the Chu army in the city will fall to a low point, and they may not have the intention of fighting again. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Pu suddenly realized.

It's just that he is still a little unbelievable.

"Your Highness, speaking of the Qi army's attack on Su County today, won't it be just like this?" He asked with a strange expression.

Zhao Hongrun glanced up at the sky, only to realize that it was already afternoon at this moment.

According to this momentum, if Tian Tan wants to widen the gap in the city wall of Suxian County to the extent that it is enough for the Qi army to rush in, I am afraid that today will really end the Qi army's attack on Suxian today, as Zhou Pu said, in the almost non-stop and indiscriminate bombardment of the Qi army's catapults.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun also had a few doubts in his heart.

Could it be that Tian delayed him......

He turned his head to look at the Qi army's main formation, and there was a vague understanding in his heart.

Just as Zhao Hongrun and Zong Wei Zhou Pu thought, when it was almost dusk, today's Qi army's attack on Su County ended in the indiscriminate bombardment of Su County by hundreds of catapults in the Qi army.

Although the walls of the enemy city collapsed, the generals of the Qi army were happy, but the decision of their own commander made them feel puzzled.

But Tian Tan's face was still that indifferent, only when he ordered the withdrawal of troops, when he turned his head to look at the high slope where Zhao Hongrun was, there were a few hints of different colors in his eyes.

I don't know if Na Ji Yun can comprehend......

Muttering to himself, Tian Tan turned his horse's head and led the army back to the camp, ending their Qi army's attack on Su County today. (To be continued.) )
