Chapter 22: Siege but not Tunnel Warfare

In the next few days, the Vidi tribe really changed their tactics, sending only about 30,000 soldiers to attack the city each time, and rotating every six hours, so that the Qin soldiers would not have a moment to rest.

At the beginning of this tired plan, the Qin army was really in a hurry, and then according to the rhythm of its attack, Qin Feng divided the Qin army in the city into three groups, one group to rest, and two groups to defend the city, so that the rotation operation, although everyone consumed a lot and did not have enough sleep, they could barely cope with it.

Through the siege of the city in the past few days, the Qin army also saw that the Vidi tribe was not united. For example, the Harappan soldiers often attacked the city with great fanfare, which seemed to be vicious, but the progress was slow. And the soldiers of Darrow City were quite heroic in the first two sieges, but they became extremely conservative in the back, and the first pursuit was to preserve their strength, how could the siege have any effect! There are also Tobula soldiers who have been fighting hard to siege the city from beginning to end, causing the Qin army the most trouble, and of course, their own casualties are also the greatest. As for the soldiers of the rest of the cities, they were completely pretentious to show Ke Luoli, and whenever they started to attack the city, Qin Feng would let more soldiers go down to the city to rest.

On the fourth day, the Vida soldiers suddenly changed their tactics from attacking the city in batches to attacking the city with all their might, and the momentum was even more fierce than on the first day, and the soldiers of the city-states rushed towards the city of Bolun in the face of the rain of arrows in the sky, and climbed up the city wall against the rolling wood and stones.

Qin Feng guessed at a glance that the Vidi tribe must have a big plan for this move, otherwise he would not have attacked the city so desperately at any cost. Immediately called Sima Li: "Lord Supervisor Shi, the enemy army is so hard to attack the city, there should be other plans, you put aside other things for the time being, and concentrate on the tunnel!"

Sima Li, who is not smiling on weekdays, gave a rare smile: "Zuo Shuchang, rest assured, the enemy's tunnels are all under my control"!

Putting aside how the attacking and defending sides of the city wall fought for the time being, in addition to the three tunnel exits dug by Assam at this time, Sima Li had already sent people to dig three horizontal ditches, and 500 crossbowmen had already been arranged next to them, and they were also filled with firewood and grass splashed with water, fire, and cowhide bags, waiting for the enemy to show his head.

About half an hour after the siege began, the Vida tribe had already attacked under the city wall, and the two sides were caught in a fierce tug-of-war between the attack and defense of the city wall.

At this time, the 3,000 Vidian soldiers in the tunnel, according to the prior agreement, rushed out of the tunnel, and they were greeted by the soldiers of the Qin army.

As soon as the Vidian soldiers appeared, the Qin soldiers who were waiting by lit the damp firewood and grass, raised puffs of smoke, and blew them into the tunnels with cowhide bags. Seeing the smoke in the tunnel, the Vidian soldiers hurriedly rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel, but they were greeted by arrows. For a time, hundreds of people were killed by arrows. Seeing that these Vidian soldiers couldn't rush out, they could only choke to death in the tunnel, and hurriedly turned their heads and fled the way they came, all of which Sima Li expected.

Before these soldiers could break out of the city wall, they saw a muffled sound of the tunnel in front of them, and the tunnel in front of them collapsed. Now there are only two options left for these Vidian soldiers. One is to be suffocated to death in this cave, and the other is to rush out of the tunnel and be shot by the Qin army.

The siege battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and in less than an hour, Coroli ordered the troops to be withdrawn. Qin Feng saw that the enemy army was retreating, and smiled, it seems that the tunnel has succeeded!

At this time, Koroli punched and kicked Assam, who was covered in mud, and scolded while beating: "Waste! You shit! The tunnels are not well dug! How could those untouchables set up an ambush in advance? You piece of waste"!

Assam rolled and wailed on the ground as he cried, "Father! If it weren't for the son-in-law's fast running, he would have been buried in the tunnel!"

Ke Luoli had the heart to kill Assam at this moment, picked up the horsewhip and slammed it at Assam: "Break my 3,000 soldiers, what are you doing running back?" Why don't you die in the tunnels"!

Several city lords saw that Assam's life would be in danger if they continued to fight, so they hurriedly persuaded Koroli, not that they felt sorry for this Assam, but that they really beat Assam to death, even if they captured Pollon City, they would not get the slightest benefit, it was better to show favor to him at this moment, so as to ask for a reward in the future.

Shamoro, the lord of Daro, said, "Father! At this moment, the tunnel battle is lost! Where should our army go"!

Coroli gasped, "What do you have in mind?"

Shamoro smiled and said, "Father! If we continue to attack like this, I am afraid that half of our army's casualties may not be able to capture Bolun! It's better to besiege but not attack, and starve these untouchables to death! However, this is to ask, my dear brother-in-law of Assam, how much food has been left for these untouchables"?

Assam, who was lying on the ground, trembled with fright when he heard this, this Shamoro really spoke more ruthlessly than a knife! Hurriedly cried: "Father! Brother-in-law! There is not much food in the city, at most a month, no, 20 days, 20 days that the untouchables will definitely run out of food"!

Coroli said hatefully, "Rubbish! Get up! Still lying on the ground begging for a reward? I hope you didn't say anything this time!"

It was night, in Pollan City, all the officers of the council chamber were more than five hundred lords, and the council hall was also jubilant.

"Hah! The group of soft-footed shrimp of the Vida tribe retreated from the army in less than an hour, and my brothers and I haven't killed enough yet!"

"Not really! Those wastes, digging a tunnel can dig into the arms of our eunuch Yushi, really laughing at the dead"!

"What! Obviously, Lord Supervisor Shi had the foresight to set up an ambush at their exit in advance! Haha, this time these Vidi tribes should know how powerful my Great Qin Ruishi is!"

"If you want me to say, it's still Zuo Shuchang's clever calculation, and they deserve to be unlucky! Either be shot by our army, or suffocated to death! Haha, really relieved"!

How could Sima Zhi be willing to fall behind, and when he saw that everyone praised his father, he also said with a smile: "Ah Da! You're amazing! How do you know where the Vidian tunnels are dug?"

Sima Li, who had a smile on his face, lowered his face at this time: "Shut up!" This is the place of the council! It's not your home! There are no fathers and sons in the army, called the prison royal history! After speaking, Sima Zhi nodded yes before he continued: "Let you read more military books on weekdays, but you don't read them?" What's so hard about the battle of tunnels? It's all written in the war book! If you don't believe it, ask Meng Jing and see if he knows!"

Sima Zhi is also so cute, he really asked his eldest brother if he knew these things written in the military book? Meng Jingqiang couldn't help laughing, but ignored him.

Qin Feng endured it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Ah Zhi! Learn more about the art of war from your father in the future! Otherwise, it will only rush and kill, a reckless man! After speaking, he said to Sima Li: "Master Prison Shi! Although it is recorded in the book of soldiers, but the soldiers are also treacherous! You have to learn and apply it! Master Shi is worthy of being a veteran! No, a top three"!

The generals laughed when they heard this, and Sima Li also laughed and even said that he didn't dare to be, he didn't dare to be!

After laughing, Meng Xin said, "Zuo Shuchang, what should we do next"!

Qin Feng smiled, his eyes becoming cold: "What's next?" Hey! Come and don't be rude"!
