"It is reported that our army suffered 4,352 casualties today, more than 20 ladders, and more than 3,000 crossbow arrows of various types. In the big tent, Pang Cong reported today's results to everyone. Generally speaking, the number of casualties in today's siege was within his control, and in addition to the logistics and baggage troops of nearly 8,000 men, the overall attacking force was about 20,000 people, and the casualties were about one-fifth.

Only Zhao Yong, as well as the atmosphere of the king of a country, heard that the casualties had reached nearly 5,000 people, and his heart was worried, it seems that the war is really not like the game that can be controlled casually, and this ability to accept casualties is also an important criterion for testing the general's determination.

"General Pang thinks that he will continue to fight again tomorrow?" Zhao Yong pondered for a while and said to Pang Cong.

"Your Majesty, in today's battle, our army almost boarded the city gate, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, the opposing generals were too brave, and after our army landed in the city, the results were not expanded, resulting in the follow-up troops being powerless." Pang Cong straightened out his thoughts and continued, "It is to fight for the sake of war, and it will be vigorous in one go, then declining, and exhausted in three ways. Although the morale of my Zhao Kingdom has been slightly damaged, it does not affect the overall situation. Therefore, the minister thought that when the offensive continued, it should not stop. ”

"Well, I know that." Zhao Yong stood up, walked to the sand table in the big tent, looked at the model near the house that had just been made, and said slowly, "But the house, although it can't be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this place is not far from Shiyi and the Great Wall of Zhongshan. ”

"In fact, today's defeat of our army is also caused by the bravery of the enemy generals. Our army was already ...... when they landed in the city."

"It's not important, what matters is, how will our army attack the city tomorrow?" Zhao Yong interrupted Li Zhuo's words, "General Pang, you say." ”

Seeing Zhao Yong shouting to himself, Pang Cong said tremblingly, "I thought that our army should use the wheel warfare method to attack the city in turns. Even if the enemy defenders are more brave, but the manpower is limited, it is impossible to take one as a hundred, our army takes turns to fight, take turns to rest, as long as the deployment is appropriate, I am sure to occupy the city. ”

The so-called wheel warfare is when one's own side disperses its forces and takes turns fighting the enemy, or adopts roundabout tactics to fatigue others physically and intellectually, and then destroys the enemy. This method of warfare is common in siege warfare, because the cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy army sits on a tall city, as long as there is enough food reserves, it can be consumed with the invading enemy.

At this time, what the besieging side has to do is to rationally deploy its own forces, attack at different times and places, or repeatedly carry out regular attacks on an offensive target. Because the besieging side is well manned, it is completely possible to implement this tactic.

In fact, this point is not unfamiliar to Zhao Yong, because he often participates in negotiations in modern times, and is often negotiated by the other party in turns, which makes him exhausted, and sometimes even because his brain is loose, some words blurt out, and he grabs the handle for the other party and makes himself passive.

However, hearing this, Zhao Yong had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said with a smile: "Perhaps, we have a better choice." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do.

Wu Qiu was lying on the bed, the wine jugs were thrown everywhere all over the floor, and the whole bedroom was filled with the smell of wine. The more this is the case, not to mention the subordinates of Wuqiu, even his wife, they dare not approach him.

He was an alcoholic, not by nature, but by experience. Originally, he was a slave in Kakuba. The so-called corner field is a place where others can have fun through wrestling and fighting, similar to a boxing match. But unlike boxing matches, the fights in the corner field are all life-and-death fights, but because after each victory, there are a lot of rewards, enough food, and even a lot of wine, so many slaves, after not having the hope of becoming mortals, began to like this kind of "drunk today and drunk tomorrow" days.

Wuqiu was once a slave in the corner field.

He once killed five slaves in a row, and all of them were cruel and easy to kill, he had great strength, and he also knew how to use his wit, and when he couldn't resist it, he used yin tricks. So for a while, the name of Wuqiu Duck spread throughout Lingshou, and many people went to cheer. It wasn't until one day that he was bought from the corner field and sent to Xiangbang Mansion, and after meeting Sima Cheng, his life changed the trajectory and became a fierce general of Zhongshan Kingdom.

Last time, I followed Sima Cheng to Shancheng to listen to the truth and reality, and he opened a killing ring at the city gate, so that Sima Cheng was punished. But punishment is punishment, and when it should be used, Sima Xun still has to rely on him. So this time, Sima Cheng returned to Lingshou and arranged for Wuqiu to sit in the house, because he knew that as long as this guy could be careful, he would definitely be able to hold it, besides, Shiyi and the Great Wall were very close to here, and once the house was in trouble, as long as it lasted for two or three days, he could wait for reinforcements. And with the bravery of my hill, it should not be difficult to defend the house.

The battle in the morning made Wuqiu physically and mentally exhausted, and he now firmly believed that although he was besieged, but soon, the defenders of Shiyi, who realized that the traffic was not smooth, would definitely come to the rescue of him, and what he had to do now was not to go anywhere, and to be his own beautiful man quietly, uh, fierce man paper.

Just as he was falling asleep, there was a loud noise. The alertness that Wuqiu cultivated in the corner field allowed him to get up quickly when he heard a noisy sound even if he was drunk, so when the noise outside sounded, he immediately picked up the knife next to the bed, took three steps and made two steps, and ran out of the door without even wearing armor. Because he was worried that the Zhao army would take advantage of the night to attack the city.

As he reached the door, and as soon as he opened it, he saw his subordinates, pushing and shoving a soldier in armor. The soldier's expression was anxious, arguing with the subordinates about something, but the three subordinates did not let the soldiers in anyway, the two sides just pulled and pulled, no one paid attention, and Wuqiu was already standing behind them menacingly.

"What the fuck are you doing?" He yelled at the top of his voice. When everyone heard his voice, they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, but Wu Qiu didn't think about it, pulled up the soldier, grabbed his collar, his eyes were red, and he looked at the soldier as if he was murderous, "Say!" Is it that the Zhao army is attacking the city? ”

"Will... Will... General, Zhao... Zhao Jun.." The soldier was carried by the collar, and it was very difficult to speak, but he also said the main body of the matter. "Damn, don't let people sleep yet, let's go!" As he spoke, he strode out of the house, glanced down at his subordinates, and kicked him violently, "Waste!" ”

When Wuqiu was wearing a single coat and walked up to the city wall, he saw that the entire city tower had been surrounded by torches, and many soldiers were holding torches and carrying ladders and rushed towards the city wall. A long dragon of torches, on the vast plain, roared like a converging dragon, roaring towards the city gate.

At the same time, on the bow and arrow position behind, the rockets that had been ignited shot towards the city tower in the darkness, like a rain of fire, burning the invasion of darkness, and like the legendary karmic fire, pouring down towards Zhongshan Kingdom.

However, the people of Zhongshan no longer care about appreciating such a beautiful scenery. They raised their shields one after another to fend off the rockets. However, the walls of the house were small, and there were towers on them, so soon, the rockets fired were blocked by the shields, but they ignited the wooden objects of the towers. The Zhongshan people had to fight the fire while resisting the attack of the Zhao State.

Wuqiu observed for a while, knowing that now, how to save it was useless, and could only engage in hand-to-hand combat. It was he who gave the order to go down, and all the soldiers entered the city wall and prepared to engage the enemy in battle. He himself did not wear armor, but took a knife and prepared to kill the enemy.

Li Zhuo looked at the city wall of Zhongshan, which was already crawling with Zhao soldiers, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
