Another attack was blocked, and the morale of the Western Army was generally low, and the Youyuan Fortress in front of them was like an iron box in their eyes, and it was difficult to start.

Hard attacks, strong attacks, and harassment attacks are completely useless for Youyuan Fortress, although the defenders are few, they also have to get close.

However, the spirit cannon placed on the city wall was like a flood beast that chose people to devour, and it was stubbornly blocked in front of them, so that they could not enter an inch.

Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the vicinity of Youyuan Fortress day and night, and there was no way to take the city.

The commanders in charge of the command have also changed one after another, and the commanders who have been beheaded and removed are almost all about to form a team of 100 people, and Commander Yu's brows are almost twisted into a big "Chuan" in the camp outside the fog.

It is not possible to attack head-on, it is not possible to harass and feint, and it is even more impossible to lure the enemy, let their western army do their best outside the fortress, but the Weishui army is standing still in the fortress.

In the big tent of the Western Frontier Army, Commander Yu looked at the terrain mud plate in front of him and was stunned for a while, and the army of tens of thousands of people had lost tens of thousands of dollars in the past few months.

The amount of food consumed was innumerable, and the logistics might not be able to keep up with it if they stayed, so Commander Yu had to send heralds back to the west to escort grain and grass, and at the same time collect food in nearby cities.

After all, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is too great, and there is no way.

"Report, the new commander asks to see you!"

Outside the tent, the guards heard a voice, and the Yu Commander came back to his senses and said yes, and then fell silent again.

"I've seen Commander Yu, and his subordinate Shen Chi came to report. I saw a man in green clothes and red armor walking into the big tent, with a sword hanging from his waist, holding a spear, and his face was resolute.

"Vice Shen is coming, tell me, what are your plans for future attacks?"

Commander Yu raised his head, looked at Shen Chi and asked.

"Naturally, there is, and the subordinates think that both frontal attacks and side attacks cannot be done, and they should be broken with skill. Shen Chi responded when he heard this.

"Ingenuity, what kind of ingenuity?" Commander Yu was interested.

"The fortress is difficult to attack, and the other side has spiritual cannons and giant crossbows and other weapons to defend the city, so the subordinates think that they should use local materials to build siege vehicles and catapults and other equipment to assist. Shen Chi responded.

"Catapult, isn't that something that has long been obsolete?" said Commander Yu, slightly displeased.

The catapult is inefficient, and the strength of the city cannot keep up with the power of today's siege equipment, and it has long been eliminated.

"However, the large equipment of our army cannot be transported into the deep mountains, so we can only use local materials and soil methods, my lord, my subordinates think that we should not care about any backward objects today, and some of them are good to use. ”

Shen Chi proposed again, Youyuan Fortress is strong, without powerful siege equipment, it is difficult to cause damage to it, and now that there is nothing to use, why can't you follow the old path?

"But...... Those things have long been abandoned, no one can make them, and the range is so short that they are not very useful. Commander Yu hesitated.

To be honest, he was a little moved, there was really no way, large equipment could not be transported into the mountains, and it was really difficult for them to attack Youyuan Fortress.

Don't you see that tens of thousands of troops have been lost during this time?

"Don't worry about this, my subordinates have been interested in these antiques since childhood, and they have been fortunate enough to see the drawings for the construction of catapults. Shen Chi responded.

"Will you build?" asked Commander Yu, if he had seen the drawings and that he would make them.

"Of course it will. Shen Chi nodded.

Commander Yu paced back and forth when he heard this, and thought carefully with his hands behind his back.

Nowadays, there are no powerful attack equipment, and although the catapult is backward, it can be said that it will be of some use.

It's just that...... Can you get close to the fortress? You must know that the attack distance of the spirit cannon is much farther than that of the catapult, and the power is several times stronger.

"Have you ever wondered if this kind of thing can get close to the fortress?" asked Commander Yu.

"The subordinates naturally thought that there was still hope for a large army to charge for cover, and then close the range of the catapult. Shen Chi responded.

Commander Yu stopped talking when he heard this, but continued to think.

"Commander, there's only one way to do it right now. Seeing this, Shen Chi couldn't see that Commander Yu was a little excited, as long as he added another fire, he might be able to succeed.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, after all, you're now the commander. Commander Yu made a decision after deep thought.

Anyway, there is no way for the army to take the fortress, so it is better to give it a try according to Shen Chi's proposal.

If it succeeds, it is possible to breach the fortress, and if it fails, it is no different from the current situation.

Anyway, now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, otherwise what else can I do?

Shen Chi's face was overjoyed when he heard this: "My subordinates will receive orders, so I will go down and prepare." ”

"Go ahead. Commander Yu waved his hand, then looked at the terrain mud tray in front of him again.

Shen Chi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he left the big tent and walked into the mist with his guards.

Next, he will command an army of more than 100,000 to attack the fortress of Youyuan.

If you succeed, you will be promoted and make a fortune, but if you fail......

I'm afraid that they will be beheaded or removed from their posts, just like the previous commanders.

But so what? As the saying goes, if you don't give it a try, how do you know what the result is?

Shen Chi walked out of the fog and saw hundreds of soldiers guarding the edge of the fog in front of him, seemingly waiting for him.

In front of the hundreds of soldiers, there were more than a dozen lieutenant generals standing, and when they saw Shen Chi wearing red armor, their faces were happy, and then they trotted forward to meet them.

"I've seen Commander Shen later, please give an order. More than a dozen lieutenants saluted in unison, and their eyes flashed.

"Alright, don't pretend, immediately follow the plan, Lord Yu has approved my plan. Shen Chi smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.

"The subordinates receive the order. The dozen or so lieutenant generals were overjoyed, and when they hugged Shen Chi and walked towards the army camp, they began to set up.

In a few moments, tens of thousands of troops left the camps and headed for the distant forest, where they began to cut down trees to make catapults and collect stones.

Shen Chi stood in the middle of the camp, looking at the Youyuan Fortress in the distance, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

I must take this fortress!

"Gather all the camp commanders and have a meeting in the afternoon. Shen Chi commanded, and then walked into the commander's camp.

In the afternoon, in the commander's camp, hundreds of commanders of the Western Army camp gathered together, crowded with people, and almost ran out of place to stay.

The soldiers guarding the camp had to move farther away, and Shen Chi saw this scene, and his heart was filled with joy.

Look, that's the right to command, that's good.
