Chapter 20: A New Way of Siege
Daxing City has been abandoned, and Chen Guang didn't even leave his troops here, because after that battle, everyone from the city lord to the small soldiers here has been clean. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In addition to the common people, there is no army here that can resist, so naturally there is no need to divide the troops to occupy.
Although what policies have been said to appease these people, this is all superficial, and the only way to really subjugate them is to destroy their faith and foundation, and this belief and foundation is the royal family of Chen State.
There is only one step away from this goal.
Thinking of the wild life in the past few months, Chen Guang is still embarrassed, first of all, the most important point is, of course, there are no sisters, every day when I open my eyes, I see the big men, in such an environment, I can still keep it straight, I must give myself a thumbs up first. Secondly, of course, it is still the external environment, which is also one of the reasons why few emperors and princes go out to fight, not to mention that there is no hot kang head for wives and children, as a pampered prince, Chen Guang, who was originally a little white-faced and had potential, has been so dark that it is reflective, shoulder to shoulder with the sun. It's better to hurry up and go home after the fight, raising white is the king.
Fortunately, now only one Chen Guojing has not been defeated, and the merit will be completed if it is done here.
On this day, after a few days of rest, the Qianguo army finally launched a general attack on Chen's capital.
Chen Guang sat on a tall horse, with a hat on his head, a horsewhip in his hand, and no armor. To be honest, in this kind of weather, the whole person is trapped in iron sheets, which feels really bad.
"There is one last city, as long as we can capture this city, our expedition will be considered a complete merit." Hongjiang is also very relaxed.
In fact, the capture of Daxing City should be regarded as a major battle in the war against Chen State, after all, it is very close to the capital, and there must be a lot of defensive forces.
At present, the only remaining capital must not be more difficult than attacking Daxing City, but it cannot be underestimated, otherwise it will be fun to capsize the ship in the gutter.
"yes, it's going to be successful." Chen Guang said.
After walking more than ten miles out of Daxing City, he came to the outside of Chen Guo's capital.
These two places are really too close to each other.
In a sense, taking Daxing City, Chen Guo's capital has already been half captured.
The walls of the capital are much thicker than those of Daxing City, and it is completely impossible for this wall to be blown up with earth bombs.
The soldiers of the Qianguo army approached the city, and the soldiers of the Chen State on the city wall were on guard.
This is Chen Guo's last battle.
This is the final battle of the Qianguo.
Chen Guosheng and Qianguo retreated, and the two countries must have been at peace with each other for a long time, and the well water did not interfere with the river water.
If the Qianguo wins, the Chen State will destroy the country, and the land will be included in the territory of the Qianguo, and there will be no Chen country in the world again.
This is an important battle for both countries.
Decisive battle!
For Chen Guang, taking down Chen Guo will become a favorable bargaining chip for the position of the crown prince, and he must not drop the chain halfway.
There seemed to be tension in the air, and the two sides faced off half a mile apart.
After one setback after another, the Chen army no longer dared to go out of the city to fight the Qianguo army, and the endless explosions made them unable to guard against it, and they no longer had the strength to try again. At present, we can only rely on this thick city wall to find an opportunity to let the Qianguo army retreat.
Naturally, the Qianguo army would not rashly attack the city, but tens of thousands of people, maybe a failed siege of these forces will be exhausted.
Both sides are looking for the right opportunity, and neither dares to act rashly.
In this way, they held out for half a day, and in the evening, the Qianguo army retreated a little and set up camp in a relatively safe place.
After eating, Hong Jiang and several generals gathered in Chen Guang's tent to discuss the countermeasures for the attack.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, what do you say we are going to do? Is it possible to use that or what? Dynamite? Hong Jiang still remembers the scene where Chen Guang used explosives twice, he thinks that thing is simply an artifact, as long as he masters this thing, who is still the opponent of Qianguo in the whole world? Helplessly, His Royal Highness the King of Jin kept the production of this thing secret, and he couldn't help it, except that he knew that he needed saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, and his eyes were black, and he couldn't ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and naturally he didn't dare to sneak around to do experiments. But since His Royal Highness the King of Jin has mastered the method, what is the difference between mastering the method and mastering it himself? Anyway, it's all for the sake of the Great Qianguo.
Chen Guang shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, that thing is enough to use twice, not to mention that this city wall is much thicker, and it is not something that explosives can explode at all, that thing no longer works." ā
A general said: "Then does His Royal Highness the King of Jin have a plan to attack the city?" Before, he relied on His Royal Highness the King of Jin to calculate the last resort, and several times he beat Chen Jun with his head and rat running, this method of marching and fighting, the end of the general's admiration for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, like a surging river, endless. ā
Another general said: "Yes, after being a soldier for so many years, the last general knows that the battle can still be so big, which is simply eye-opening." ā
For this point, Chen Guang does not need to be modest, what thirty-six strategies, Wu Mu's suicide note, those are all well-known works on the art of war, and they can be mixed up like a fish in water if they are brought to this world, but now it is just a little trick, and there will be a way in the future.
"There will be more things to open your eyes in the future." Chen Guang couldn't help but feel a little nervous, well, personality cult or something, don't feel too good, go on, don't stop.
The more Hong Jiang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, aren't we discussing how to attack the city now? How did you start a cult of personality? That's not right.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, now that Chen Jun is shrinking in the capital, we can't attack rashly, it won't work like this, if they organize the army of King Qin in various places, we are afraid that we are in danger of being attacked by the enemy, or we should find a way to fight quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
This possibility is not impossible, although Chen Jun has invested more than 100,000 troops for this war, but Chen Guang believes that this is definitely not all of Chen Jun, and when the scattered forces of Chen Jun are gathered in various places, it is definitely a force to be reckoned with. People are such things, once their own interests are touched, the power that erupts can often reach an astonishing level, which is also one of the purposes of Chen Guang's propaganda everywhere he goes, to appease the people, and to reduce a lot of unnecessary resistance.
"Indeed, how about we attack tonight?" Chen Guang said with a smile.
Hong Jiang was taken aback and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin won't be talking about playing, right?" ā
Chen Guangdao: "Then do you think I'm joking?" ā
"With all due respect, like."
Chen Guangdao: "Well, it's really a joke. Siege this thing, although hurry up, but can't be in a hurry, if you make a mistake in the rush and they catch the handle and fight back, we will roll up and go home. ā
Everyone understood this truth, and Chen Guang then asked, "Then do you have any good solutions?" ā
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, obviously I can't find any good way.
Alas, this group of guys knows how to do it, but they can't use their brains, no wonder they can't be leaders.
Chen Guang was very helpless and said, "Since you can't think of any good way, it's really a pity." ā
Hong Jiang said with a smile: "The old minister is just waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to give us an order, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the King of Jin's ice method is superb, as long as we listen to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, we will definitely be invincible." ā
Several generals said again and again: "Yes, the general is right, we are waiting for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to give us instructions." ā
Chen Guang: "......"
Are you soldiers so thick-skinned?
But there's no way, Chen Guang doesn't sell it anymore, it's boring, you tell a joke worth 250 with someone with an IQ of 15, and no one laughs with you.
"Since you don't have any ideas, then I'll say, then, you go find a bamboo forest, cut some bamboo, and then weave a few big baskets, and then get a few pieces of oilcloth, impermeable, and give them to me when you're done." Chen Guang said.
"Huh?"
For Chen Guang's request, everyone said that they were puzzled, bamboo? Basket? Oilcloth? What can this be used for?
Hong Jiang asked, "Can these things be used to siege the city?" ā
It's not just him who is curious, everyone is curious. Although I know that your Royal Highness King Jin is imaginative, but no matter how you look at these things, they have nothing to do with the siege, okay?
Chen Guang didn't want to tell them the truth of the matter so early, and it would help to increase the cult of personality, well, that's it.
"Of course, it's a proper engineering machine, I promise you haven't seen it." Chen Guang said confidently.
In fact, he himself is not sure if this trick will work, but if it does, it should be the most fun way.
That's right, it's the most fun way, there is no one.
Hong Jiangzai thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand how he could use these things to attack the city, and he asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, are you sure you didn't tease me?" ā
"Of course, what am I kidding you for? Hurry up and get ready to go, don't talk about those who don't. ā
Since Chen Guang didn't want to say anything, they couldn't ask anything, so everyone had to disperse and ordered people to find bamboo.
Chen Guang sat in the tent, thinking about the siege plan.
"Anchor, how do you use these things to attack the city?" Not to mention ancient people like Hong Jiang, even netizens in the live broadcast room, they can't figure out what method Chen Guang can use to attack the city.
Chen Guang pointed to his temple, made up his mind to be mysterious to the end, and said: "Use your brain, the ancients couldn't figure it out, it's impossible that you modern people can't think of it, right?" ā
