Chapter 334: A Difficult Opponent
"Come on, come on, how to fight this pass in front of you, everyone will talk about it." Wang Jiayin waved his hand and signaled all the leaders to gather around.
"Wang Er, didn't you fight the dock fort in northern Shaanxi, what tricks did you use?" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wang Jiayin had to call his cronies to be the first to speak.
As the big leader, Wang Jiayin, who has been a border army, has the common sense of the army, and naturally knows that under the premise of no internal response, if you want to lay such a strong pass, the only way is to make siege equipment first, such as ladders to climb the city wall, rush cars to hit the city gate, etc., and the rest is to fill with human lives, when to run out of people or food on the side of the city, and when to take down the city.
It's just that since the incident, the big city naturally doesn't dare to touch it, and the small city only needs to send some internal should go in advance and put a few fires in the city, and the city can be knocked down smoothly, and the easy things are done, and the difficult things are naturally unwilling to do again, Wang Jiayin asked, just to see if there is any way to take advantage of it.
Although the main attack is Gao Yingxiang at present, if there is damage, it has nothing to do with him, the big leader, but the food after the pass, Wang Jiayin still values it very much, and he also wants to take down this mountain as soon as possible.
"Ah, I have beaten it, but the wall of the fort is not so high or so thick, I just set a fire at the city gate and beat it down." Wang Er thought about it for a while, although this matter was a little long ago for him, he was still deeply impressed by the fire.
Everyone looked at the city gate in the distance, and they didn't know how thick the iron was, or if it was an iron gate, they all automatically ignored Wang Er's successful experience, but at this moment, the war was unfavorable, and no one was in the mood to make fun of Wang Er.
"Uh..."Wang Jiayin was a little embarrassed, this Wang Er is just unreliable, can't he see what the city gate of this pass looks like, and said that he will attack with fire, and he is not afraid of being laughed at when he says it, it is really muddy that can't support the wall, "Are there any other tricks?" ”
Without waiting for the other leaders to speak, Li Zicheng stepped forward and saluted Wang Jiayin with a fist, "Big leader, we have no internal response, and this wall is so strong, I'm afraid there is no other way than to attack." ”
He really can't stand it, a group of people don't want to do the right thing, they will only delay time, although they are hidden all the way from Jinxi, but the team of spies who escaped is still heavily pressed on Li Zicheng's heart, who knows which force it is, if it is the spies of the government, it is estimated that their group of people have been targeted by the government, if they can't lay down the cottage in front of them as soon as possible, get the grain and grass and retreat, once the official army attacks, there is a danger of annihilation.
"Ah, yes, it's only a storm." Wang Jiayin smacked his lips, reluctantly accepted this reality, and said with some disappointment.
"Please also arrange for King Chuang to quickly arrange manpower to go and cut down trees as soon as possible, so that you can build a ladder, and pay attention to the thick trunks, which can be used to hit the city gates." Li Zicheng suggested to Gao Yingxiang again.
"Did you hear that? Don't go yet! After the little leader who supervised the battle before was whipped by Gao Yingxiang, he didn't dare to go far, and squatted aside in fear, and was seen by Gao Yingxiang, who stepped forward and kicked over and commanded.
"Huh? Yes, yes, I'll go now, King Chuang. The little leader crawled to the ground and ran away with a few of his men in the distance.
It didn't take long for the little leader to stumble back again, "Break... King Chuang" hesitated like that, but he didn't dare to get too close to Gao Yingxiang, obviously he was scared just now.
"If you have something to say, let it go!" Gao Yingxiang said impatiently, but there was no sign of moving.
"No... No trees! ”
"What? What is not a tree? ”
"There are no trees, there is not a single tree around, I just took the brothers to climb to a high place to take a look, and the neighborhood is bare except for some weeds." The little boss explained.
Li Zicheng's expression moved slightly, and without waiting for Gao Yingxiang to speak, he hurriedly asked, "Is there no tree growing around here in the first place, or has the tree been cut down?" ”
They arrived here yesterday afternoon, stayed in front of the pass until dark, and watched the battle here early this morning, because Li Zicheng was not very familiar with the surrounding situation.
"Except for the fact that there are not a few trees around this clearing, the others must have been cut down, and fresh stumps can be seen." This time, the little boss looked at it very carefully.
"The tree was cut down?" When Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang heard this, they both reacted and asked involuntarily.
The little leader nodded helplessly, "I stood on a high place and looked at it, there were no trees within a radius of at least ten miles. ”
"It seems that the people in Zhuolu Mountain are not simple." Li Zicheng sighed.
The others also reacted at this time, the other party cut down the trees, the purpose was to make it difficult for them to make siege equipment, and without firewood, it was not easy to live and cook, fortunately it was summer, if it was winter, it was a problem for them to heat up, and this Zhuolu Mountain was very difficult to entangle.
The faces of all the leaders are ugly, especially Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong, it is impossible to win quickly, if you want to gnaw down Zhuolu Mountain, you have to grind a little bit, don't look at the current Gao Yingxiang head battle, but if the war is unfavorable, everyone does not run.
Although there are a lot of cannon fodder, but to win a blow, you have to use the old battalion to do it, and I don't know how many elites will be lost on this mountain.
"Hahaha!" Gao Yingxiang suddenly burst into laughter.
Everyone was a little confused, just now this person was still angry, his face was full of clouds, what's the matter now, and there is nothing to be happy about?
"Brothers, isn't it just that this Zhuolu Mountain is so deliberately setting up obstacles for us? If it weren't for this pass, they wouldn't be our opponents, right? Gao Yingxiang was also forced to come up with a trick helplessly, he found a place by himself, if he didn't want to find a way to give everyone some confidence, then this battle would not be able to be fought.
The leaders pouted secretly, everyone was crawling out, this kind of nonsense was really useless to them, or the most affordable food, they all looked at Wang Jiayin at the moment, and wanted to hear the opinion of the big leader, in the face of such a difficult opponent, whether this Zhuolushan would fight or not.
Finally, Wang Jiayin stood up and helped Gao Yingxiang, "Brothers, how much food do we have, I think you all know it in your hearts, since you have all come here, no matter how hard this bone is, we have to gnaw it down, this is next to the border town and the Beijing Division, you can't go to the nearby states and counties, that's looking for death, if you don't take it to supplement the grain and grass, not to mention that you can't control the homeless, even if you have the elite of your subordinates, I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”
After saying this, everyone nodded helplessly, although Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong had the intention to oppose it, they were weak and could only follow the crowd.
"The big leader, King Chuang, the last general is willing to take the entire camp of the generals to find a place to cut down trees, make ladders and crash wood, so that King Chuang can conquer Zhuolu Mountain as soon as possible." Li Zicheng clasped his fists with both hands and took the initiative to ask.
Zhuolu Mountain has to be beaten, and it must be beaten down, this is also Li Zicheng's opinion, since this is the case, there is no need to hide his strength, if he can help, try to help, although he has not done it, but he has seen it.
If someone else comes to do this, whether it is Gao Yingxiang himself or other leaders, Li Zicheng is a little uneasy, these people are not very reliable, time can no longer withstand the delay, there is not enough food, and the officers and soldiers do not know when they will rush over.
