Chapter 21: The Enemy Chieftain Makes a Strategy
In the big tent of the Vida Chinese army, the king of Harappa, Ke Luoli, looked at the seven city lords present: "Let's talk about it"!
The seven city lords expressed their opinions one after another, except for Assam, Mengsa and Sejianburo, the lord of Tobulo, the other four city lords all advocated retreating, saying that for the sake of this small Bolun city, there were too many casualties and it was too cost-effective. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Among them, Assam and Mensa naturally look forward to these armies helping them recapture the city-state, and they are most afraid of retreating. And Sejianbulo suffered the most casualties among the siege soldiers today, and he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and he didn't advocate retreating. And the other four city lords thought in their hearts that even if they captured this Bolun City, they would not have half a benefit, so why should they lose their strength here.
Seeing that everyone advocated retreating, Assam hurriedly said: "Father, you can't withdraw from the army!"
The city lord of Darrow City, Shamoro, shouted: "Shut up! You shit, there's no place for you to talk here"!
The city of Daro is the second largest city-state of the Vida tribe, and Assam naturally can't afford to offend, so he has to keep his mouth shut.
Korori glanced at Assam and said to Shamoro with a smile, "Virtuous son-in-law! Don't mention the idea of retiring from the army! Withdrawing from the army at this time, won't my Vida tribe lose face! Everyone only said, how can this Bolun city be conquered"!
Don't look at Shamoro's vicious treatment of Assam just now, but he is extremely respectful to Koroli, hearing that Koroli will not let him retreat, he thought about it and said: "Father! Such a strong attack is not the way! Even if we capture Bolun City, we will lose a lot of strength, and it will not be worth it! It's better to send only 30,000 horses to attack the city at a time, and the rest of the men and horses to rest and take turns to attack the city! Let the untouchables in the city not rest and be tired of coping! Let's see how many days he can last"!
Korori's eyes lit up when she heard Shamoro's words: "Good idea! He is worthy of the most famous scheming of my Vida tribe! It is not in vain that the king will marry Aishwarya to you! She is the most beautiful daughter of this king! What do you think of Shamorro's idea?"
Several other city lords saw that Ko Luo Li was not allowed to withdraw from the army, and thought that no matter what Shamoro idea was, the casualties would definitely be greatly reduced, of course, they all nodded and said that this idea was good.
Assam bowed his head and thought for a moment and said, "Father! Brother-in-law's idea is good, but it's too slow! The son-in-law has a clever plan, but he can capture the city of Pollon without much effort"!
"Oh? Let's talk about it"!
"Father! In the palace of Bolun City, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, although those untouchables burned the palace and the exit of the secret passage was blocked, but the secret passage is still there, as long as we send someone to dig this secret passage, and then sneak in, when the time comes, the internal and external attack, this Bolun City will not be a snap of a finger"!
Coroli laughed a few times when she heard this: "Good idea! That's a good idea"!
Shamoro looked at Assam with a pale face and said, "Assam! Why are you saying it now? If you want us to be killed or injured by tens of thousands, what is your idea"?
Hearing this, Koroli and several other city lords also looked at Assam with gloomy faces.
Assam was frightened at that time, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Father! Brother-in-law! Ladies and gentlemen, I just remembered it! You have come to help me recover the city of Bolun, how can I harm you?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was strange at this time, Ke Luoli smiled: "Okay! Let's not mention this matter for the time being! Everyone should still remain united, and don't be suspicious of each other and mess with themselves! I mean, Shamoro and Assam's strategy is going on at the same time! After speaking, he looked at Assam and said, "Assam, the authentic matter will be handed over to you, don't disappoint this king again!"
Then the specific order of tomorrow's siege was assigned, and everyone took the order to leave, and Assam hurriedly gathered people to secretly dig tunnels.
Coroli looked at the people who walked out of the tent, and had some calculations in her heart: "These things in the nest don't have a fuel-efficient lamp except for that fool Sejianburo!" Especially this Shamoro still has to be careful, this person is not only far-reaching, but also the second largest city-state of my Vida tribe, it is better to use this battle to consume more of his strength, so as not to cause trouble in the future!"
The Vidian tribe held a meeting after the war, and the Qin army in Bolun City was the same, in the conference hall, Qin Feng looked at everyone present and said, "Let's talk about the casualties of our army and the loss of equipment first!"
Everyone reported the battle damage one after another, and Li Qubing also said about the consumption of armaments and equipment. The more Qin Feng listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, the damage was not big, the casualties were less than a thousand, but the arrows and other instruments consumed more than thirty percent today, this is only the first day, and it is only five hours!
Sima Zhi saw Qin Feng frowning, and was quite puzzled: "Zuo Shuchang, isn't our army a big victory today?" Why aren't you upset?"
Meng Jing listened and said: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain"!
Sima Zhi stared: "What do you mean"?
Everyone present laughed, and Qin Feng also smiled: "Don't make trouble!" Let's talk about it! What a good idea"!
Meng Xin thought for a while and said: "Commander Zuo, the enemy army has suffered a lot of casualties in this siege, and he should be a little afraid, and he doesn't think there will be such a large-scale attack in the future!" At present, I am afraid that they will change their tactics and change to constant attacks, which will make our army tired of coping! Or simply besiege without attacking, and wait for our army to run out of food"!
Everyone felt that it made sense when they heard it, Qin Feng also nodded, and Meng Jing said: "There is also the possibility that the enemy army is also secretly digging tunnels"!
Sima Li also said: "That's right! Since ancient times, the siege of the city is nothing more than a tunnel, fire attack, water attack, most of the earth and stone buildings in Bolun City, not very afraid of fire attack, there is no river around, water attack is not afraid, but this tunnel, but it is impossible to prevent "!
Qin Feng suddenly woke up at this time, remembering why he ordered the palace to be burned at that time, wasn't it because there was a secret passage of King Bolun in the palace! Now that the palace has burned, all that has been destroyed is the exit of the secret passage, and the secret passage is still there, if the enemy digs the secret passage and sneaks into the city, the progress should be very fast, and once it is dug through, the consequences are unimaginable.
"There is already a secret passage for King Bolun in the city, and I guess that the enemy army will dig a secret passage in the near future. Lord Supervisor Shi, I want you to put more listening urns in the city to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels to attack the city!"
Sima Li hurriedly took the order to go down and arrange.
Since ancient times, one of the favorite ways to attack a city is to dig tunnels, but in the history of the thousand-year war in China, several ways to fight for tunnel warfare have already been summed up. One of the most commonly used is in various parts of the city, digging two zhang to three zhang deep pits, each pit sends a soldier with better ear strength, above the pit, put a listening urn on it, and then send a soldier with better ear strength, so that the two-pronged approach, you can hear the sound of people moving in dozens of zhang underground, and then judge its general direction according to the sound, and then set fire, or blow smoke, or lime powder, or dig a tunnel to cut off the plant and wait for the rabbit to be captured and killed.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Qin Feng continued to ask.
Meng Jing said: "According to my inference, the enemy army is a seven-city alliance this time, and they have had some contradictions and careful thoughts in the past, and at this time our army really has no good strategy, so we can only desperately defend it, and it will take their internal changes to defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Qin Feng thought about it, it was indeed as Meng Jing said, there was no good way at this moment, but to defend desperately! Turning his head and asking Li Quai, "Lord Su Shi, how is the construction of the two urn cities in the southeast?"
Li Quzhi said that the construction progress of the urn city will take more than five days to complete, and these five days are not completely completed, but can probably play the role of catching turtles in the urn.
Qin Feng said "um" and said: "Within five days of the urn city, I can't use it if I think about it, but the mud and recycled wood still have to be made more, and the rolling wood and stone are consumed a lot by our army today!"
Li Quzhi nodded and agreed, and also went out to arrange and strengthen the construction manpower.
Qin Feng looked at the people in the room and said, "Since this is the case, then guard the city and wait for changes!" Let the sergeants everywhere take turns to rest, and it will be a war of attrition next, so let's all get ready to go!"
