Chapter 198: Rearrangement
King Cai brought people to move the bed crossbow and the Semen knife cart, and King Cai was a little puzzled: "King Zhuang, when were these war tools sent in?" "The gate of the main city of Cai is not large, and the width of the knife cart brought by King Zhuang is about the same size as the city gate, but even so, the weight is not light. The movement of transporting a three-bed bow and crossbow and a Saimen knife cart the size of Cai Guo's city gate must have been a lot of noise, but he didn't hear any news at all.
King Cai noticed the long knife on the Saimen knife cart. Because the iron needed to make long knives is a scarce resource, the Saimen knife cart during the Warring States period did not install long knives, but King Zhuang installed long knives, and they were densely packed. And this blade looks much sharper than ordinary knives. King Cai couldn't help but wonder in shock.
Cheng Jia snorted coldly and said impatiently: "If you don't hurry up and send someone to arrange it, the Jin army may come to attack at any time, why don't you hurry up and do something here?" ”
King Cai was like an initiation, and was about to turn around to make arrangements, but stopped him on the weekend.
Although there are two heavy weapons to defend the city, the three-bow bed crossbow and the Semen knife cart, I still feel that I am more prepared with both hands on the weekend. "We have to prepare for the worst. Trenches and traps must be dug in the main city. ”
Trenches and traps were dug so that in case the city was broken, they could retreat to the main city and fight with the Jin army. Although the possibility of the city being broken is slim, there are still two preparations for the weekend.
The Jin army has not yet launched an attack, but they will soon start attacking as long as they take a short rest. Arrange the three-bed crossbow and the Semen knife cart before they do. The first is to arrange the three-bed bow and crossbow first, and when the three-bed bow and crossbow are arranged, they will be higher than the city head, and the Jin army will be seen when it is far away, which can play a certain deterrent role in the Jin army and affect its morale.
"Okay, I'll tell them to do it." King Cai turned around and was about to go down and give orders to the generals.
"Wait!" On the weekend, I was contemplating and contemplating, and I was actually communicating with the system.
"System, how many soldiers and horses does the Jin Kingdom have outside the city?"
"One answer deducts 10 chasing women's coins."
"Okay, tell me quickly!" Isn't it just that you must chase the female currency, and you can earn it back after deducting it.
"Even counting the injured, there are nearly 40,000 people."
In other words, the current number of Jin troops is far less than the total number of Chu and Cai armies. What about the follow-up troops of the Jin army, when will they arrive? ”
"You should be able to get to the outside of the city of Cai Guo at dusk today."
Got the exact news, and immediately had a plan for the weekend. Even the system said that a total of 20 of his chasing female coins would be deducted by him, and he ignored it, and instructed King Cai: "King Cai, not only should trenches and traps be dug in the main city, but also outside the city." "Cai Guo had dug trenches and traps outside the city before, but the Jin army attacked fiercely. Those trenches and traps filled with the corpses of the Jin soldiers had been leveled and useless at this time. Cai Guo's soldiers only need to clear those trenches and dig the traps again when they go out of the city this time.
"King Zhuang, although the Jin Kingdom has withdrawn, they must send scouts to keep an eye on it at this time, if we open the city gate, the scouts will immediately go back and tell the main general, the main general will definitely send troops to kill." Then the gates will be breached.
Weekend laughs. "I got the exact news that the Jin army has changed from 50,000 to less than 40,000 after being killed by our Chu army. The follow-up troops are still on their way. With 40,000 men and no siege equipment, how dare he come and attack the main city? If he dares to come, the soldiers of you and me will be enough to destroy his army. "The Jin army has 40,000 people, and the number is comparable to that of Chu and Cai combined, but Chu Cai has the advantage of the city, and he has dug a trap in the main city, if the Jin army dares to come, it will be sent to death.
King Cai asked puzzledly: "King Zhuang, what is the annihilation of the group." ”
Accidentally came up with a modern word, and the weekend explained: "This is my own language, which means that the whole army is destroyed." ”
"Good. Zhuang Wang. Leave it to me! "King Cai is actually very interested in asking him where the source came from. But remembering Cheng Jia's reprimand just now, he didn't ask. Chu State is a big country, so it naturally has its source of intelligence, and it will not be as closed as he Cai State.
Although I got the exact news from the system, I still need to be cautious on the weekend. He Cai Wang personally came to the city, looked at the Jin army's military camp, and observed their movements.
The gates opened with a heavy thud. On the weekend, I looked out at the head of the city, and when I saw the scouts on the Jin side, I immediately poked my head out of the trench.
Cai Jun first began to clean up the corpses under the city walls.
King Cai stood at the head of the city, his heart was up and down, constantly pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands back and forth, and wiping his sweat all the time. has been worried that if the Jin army is more than 40,000, then his opening of the city gate will undoubtedly open the door for the Jin army. From time to time, he looked at the weekend, and when he saw that his old god was there, he was bitter in his heart. I knew that I had just asked about the news of how King Zhuang came.
A scout on the Jin army's side immediately returned to the barracks to report. "General, Chu Cai, they went out of the city and dug trenches and traps there."
"General, let's take this opportunity to send troops as soon as possible!"
At this time, the Jin army had already figured out that the people brought by the Chu State this time were only 30,000, in fact, at the beginning, the number of Chu and Cai could not compare to the number of the Jin army, but they were caught off guard by the Chu army's surprise attack from behind, and suffered heavy casualties. The generals felt embarrassed and wanted to get back to the field, but at this time, they heard that Cai Guo couldn't sit still when he opened the city gate.
"No! Chu Cai's number of them is about the same as ours, and many of our 40,000 people have been injured, and there are only more than 30,000 people who really have combat effectiveness, which is less than them, and they can take advantage of the city wall, if we attack the city gate at this time, it will only send more than 30,000 soldiers to death. ”
"Then we'll watch them fortify the fortifications?" A soldier with a copper bell and big eyes said in an angry voice.
As the main general, Zhao Jiju must win the war with minimal casualties. "Our follow-up troops will arrive here to join us soon, we just need to wait a little longer, and we don't have to rush." Moreover, there were catapults and rushing carts in the follow-up army, although because Cai was only a small country, they only brought two of these two things each, but they were enough to strengthen their siege capabilities. "The city wall of the little Cai Kingdom is not very strong, as long as the follow-up troops arrive, they will definitely be able to take the main city of Cai Kingdom."
Zhao Jiju suddenly remembered something, and said: "After Cai Guocheng is broken, if you can, you must capture the main general of the Chu State alive." He is a son of a royal family, and capturing him alive may be able to exchange some benefits with the Chu State. He didn't think that the follow-up troops of the Jin State would have a chance to win when they arrived in Chu and Cai.
"Will there be other reinforcements from the Chu State?" The deputy general of the Jin army said worriedly. They have follow-up troops, and maybe Chu has them too.
Zhao Jiju said with certainty: "There are other small countries around the Chu State, and if the Chu generals bring more troops out, the military defense of the Chu State itself will be weakened." ”
"Although the Chu State is also a big country, how can it compare with our Jin State?" Zhao Jiju's subordinate general said arrogantly and disdainfully. The others nodded in agreement.
