Wars are always cruel, even if Sun Bin has set the rule that no more than 5,000 people can be lost within fifteen days, but when the siege battle really began, Xiyu Shu City still turned into a bloody purgatory.

Qin Guan stood tall on top of the chariot, and his gentle and elegant face actually became a little hideous; This was already the third day of siege warfare, and there were already eight hundred-man companies under the walls of Shu, and looking through the smoke and dust, he could even see the corpses and distorted faces of the soldiers of the Qin army. Because the offensive has not stopped for three days, the two sides have not even had time to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of the soldiers who have died in battle.

It was unimaginable that a siege battle of this magnitude had been carried out for three days in a row but the loss of no more than 800 people, Qin Guan wanted to ensure enough offensive pressure on Xiyu Shu City on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to minimize his own casualties, his eyes were like eagle eyes staring at this terrible fortified city, and his brain seemed to be filled with hundreds of 'abacus' created by Bai Zi, all of which were not nervously calculating for a moment. At this moment, he is not only in the midst of war, but also able to surpass the sight of every soldier and be independent of the battlefield, even in the face of extremely difficult siege battles, he can always give accurate orders at critical moments. Most of these orders were issued directly to the centurion, and if the centurion was gone, they would be directly issued to the commander of the ten, or even the commander of the lowest formation, no matter at any time, even if the siege force was broken up and lost contact with the superiors, he could still get his direct orders, and at the same time, he could get the most accurate direction of attack by virtue of his overall view of the overall situation.

In the face of this kind of unscrupulous tactics, the Shu people would always be surprised to find that the Qin army, which was originally scattered by them with rolling logs and stones under the city gate, did not collapse, but reorganized the team in the most efficient way and changed the direction of attack; The Qin army, which had barely climbed to the top of the city by paying huge sacrifices, had already been surrounded. The centurion with the red tassel on his head had obviously died. Those Qin troops were not chaotic at all. Immediately, the Ten Masters and the Captain of the Wu quickly took over the command of the troops! The three or five Qin soldiers were obviously surrounded by enemies several times their size, but they were still singing the tragic ballad of 'Conquer the old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains, blood will not drain, death will not spin heels', and they will not fall until the last drop of blood is drained. What frightened the Shu people the most was not that the Qin army fought to the death, but that they still had tacit cooperation when they fought to the last few people, even if there were only three people left, they had a way of advancing and retreating, and they could even arrange out the formation. Although it cannot change the final result of the battle, it will make the besieging Shu army pay several times the enemy's casualties.

In addition to this kind of precise and sharp attack from the ground, the most terrifying thing about the Qin army's attack actually came from the air. The Qin people's bows and crossbows were originally not the first in the world, but the old Qin Su bordered the Western Regions, all of them were skilled in bows and horses, and the number of bows and crossbows in the army far exceeded that of other countries, but since Ou Yeliang became the chief chef of the Qin State Ordnance Division, the public loser won the knighthood of Yingquliang, and the bows and crossbows of the Qin army became more and more sophisticated, and the arrows carried by Sun Bin's army were all made for the new iron. Shoot it with a modified eight-bull crossbow, even if it is a hundred paces away, it can penetrate three layers of heavy armor. The rattan cards used by the Shu army were like paper paste in front of the Qin army's bow and crossbow, and the archers only dared to hide behind the female wall and fight back aimlessly.

After three days and nights of fighting, the Shu people were about to go crazy, either they had never fought, or even the fiercest battles should have a chance to breathe, but this Qin army seemed to be tireless, attacking continuously in waves, and the frequency and intensity of attacks did not weaken at all; In order to resist the attack of this intensity, they were guarded like ducks to catch up with the head of the city and the Qin people, in fact, their spirits are about to collapse, Xiyu Shu City has been established for nearly a hundred years, what happened in the past two months? First of all, Zhang Yu led a large army to attack, the Qin army was already very terrifying, but the current Qin army was several times more terrifying than Zhang Yu's, they wanted to cry, they missed their hometown wife and mother very much

Depression, fear, and then madness, just when the Shu army was about to be driven crazy by this three-day and night-long battle, Qin Guan issued an order to stop the attack at the right time. Teacher Sun Bin once said, 'Using soldiers is like using fists, if you fight, you need to go all out, but you need to keep your strength with all your strength, and you must not use too much force!" 'If you use your fists to get old, you will leave a flaw in the enemy's counterattack; After all, the Shu people have decades of strong cities to fear, and they have a tough temperament, and they can meet the strongest and stronger, if they can't force the collapse of their whole army, it will cause their desperate bloody heart, which is not the result that the Qin army wants.

Seeing the dream demon that had been haunting for three days and nights retreated, bursts of cheers broke out in the city of Shu, and some people even sang the ballad of Shu loudly, and the master of the stove in the army had buried the pot to make rice according to the general's order, and the aroma of bread and stewed fish permeated this fortified city that had just been shrouded in blood and fire; Even the most serious and indifferent General Shi ordered to take out the wine cellar in the city, to rejoice with the soldiers Hearing the news, the Shu army cheered again, compared to the warmth of this moment, the bloody battle that lasted for three days and nights seemed to be nothing.

The cake made of glutinous rice and corn is really soft and fragrant, although the carp produced in Weishui is not as delicious as the carp of the Yellow River, but if it is cut into large sections, stewed with mutton fat, add various seasonings unique to Shudi, it is also delicious in the world, in addition to the soldiers on duty on duty, the rest of the soldiers have each been given half a catty of Shu wine, the strength of Shu wine is famous all over the world, although half a catty is not enough to intoxicate but can be slightly drunk, this is already a great enjoyment on the battlefield.

When he was half-drunk, Shi Zhong pressed his sword and walked to the city, and the Qin City on the opposite side was also lit up at the moment, but why were some of the lights floating in the air? And it is flying along the north wind, although the speed is extremely slow, but sooner or later it will fly over Shucheng.

I was wondering in my heart, and suddenly heard the sound of the flute whimpering, but the sound of the flute was not connected with Huaxia, and there was occasionally a high-pitched sound in the low, which was like a light stone entering the water, and it was sonorous from time to time, but it was made of yellow bamboo in Shuzhong, and this was not a bamboo flute playing, it was clearly hundreds of bamboo flutes playing in unison, and the rolling sound wave was transmitted to Shucheng in an instant.

This song is low and turning, like crying, which contains infinite affection, it is a famous song that everyone in Shu knows, called 'hometown thoughts', it is said that the wanderer leaves his hometown, the soldier goes to the battlefield, and the infinite longing of the old mother and wife for their relatives. Shi Zhong's heart moved when he heard this, and he unconsciously relaxed his hand pressing the sword, and his eyes were a little moist; He is an authentic Shu person, how could he not be familiar with this song, I remember that when he led the army to leave Shuzhong, his wife sang this song to him.

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt, the parting is densely sewn, I am afraid that I will return late, who says that the husband is worthy of the dream person"

Shu City is sad for everyone, suddenly heard the sound of countless people reading poems from Qincheng, cut through this quiet night, sent to the ears of every Shu army soldier, the city was suddenly quiet, the sound of the feast and wine disappeared suddenly, and there were soldiers who let out a low cry.

Sun Bin was standing on the Qin army city at this moment, and sighed slightly: "The so-called use of people can be used in me or in the enemy, and if you don't swim less, is this new poem of Baizi comparable to an army of 100,000?" ”

This "Wanderer's Yin" is really Bai Dong in Persia when he was composed, although slightly changed, and at the same time expressed the front-line soldiers' miss of the old mother's wife, Sun Bin was still shocked, and recorded it on the spot, but I am afraid that even Bai Dong did not think that he would be used here, and he directed a 'four-sided Shu song', this poem with the famous song "Xiang Nian" in Shu, and then accompanied by Shu Xiao, it is strange that the Shu people are not crazy when they hear it, and it is really more than 100,000 troops when it comes to the role of disturbing the enemy's heart.

Qin Guan was really infinitely emotional, Shucheng first heard a burst of whimpering, and gradually it was a cry that shook the sky, how could he not hear it, he couldn't help but admire Bai Dong who made this poem, and even admired Sun Bin, who was good at using this poem, and couldn't help but say: "If our army attacks the city at this time, maybe it won't take fifteen days?" ”

"No, the mourning army can't be bullied, attacking at this time will arouse the Shu people's desperate heart. Let the army rest tonight, and continue to attack the city tomorrow, this time only attack for half a day and then stop fighting, and continue to attack the city the day after tomorrow, three days in a row! ”

Sun Bin smiled slightly, and gently shook the feather fan in his hand, all kinds of battles have already been calculated by him, what are you anxious about? (To be continued......)
