?? Day 2.

The north-south continuous mountain range shows a southwest-northeast trend, and between the two mountain ranges, there is a plain area, where neat camps are settled, and there are several patrol teams in front.

At this moment, the sky was just dawning, and Bai Qi stood in front of the camp, and the breeze of late spring and early summer was blowing, with a hint of coolness, blowing his hair.

Bai Qi put on his helmet and stood in front of the grass beside him, in the dew-covered grass, the sound of insects was continuous, and not far away, the outline of a city was faintly visible.

This city is basically a city stuck between the mountains and the plains, and behind this city is a plain, and this city is the gateway to Yasukuni.

The soldiers in the camp behind him had already woken up and began to bury the pot to make rice, the smoke of the cooking stove rose, the cauldron of the Huotou army was all set, and many soldiers fetched water from the stream on the side to wash rice.

There were also neat soldiers next to him, led by the commander, who went to the front to change the guard and keep vigil.

In the mountains, there is still rising smoke in front of it, which looks very hazy.

"General, are we going to attack the city later?"

A general next to him asked.

Bai Qi raised his head and looked at the city in the distance: "Don't worry, presumably the other party has already been vigilant, plus this city is the last gateway of the other party, if you attack rashly, the losses will be heavy, first send scouts to investigate, see if this city is good to attack." ”

"Yes."

At the same time, in the city in front, there are many generals at the head of the city, and the large camp in the city is full of soldiers.

Bai Qi is right, this city is very important to Qingyun, he has mobilized almost all the troops in the country, and the other one is that some city defense equipment has also been transferred, and the ballista is available, if you still take the siege method of yesterday, the other party can directly shoot all the catapults as long as the ballista is launched.

The reason why we were able to capture three cities in a row yesterday is that one of the most important reasons is that the other party is not prepared, but now that there are preparations, and the city defense equipment is also available, it is naturally not so easy to fight.

There is a passage in modern warfare that says, "Airplanes will eventually be shot down, warships will eventually be sunk, a truly cruel war, in the end, any high-precision weapons will be exhausted, the root of war is still the confrontation between man and man, and the war between man and man." ”

Although Bai Qi is a famous general in the era of cold weapons, he also knows that the equipment can have an effect, relying on people, he has never underestimated any enemy general on the other side, every time he wants to win the war with the smallest loss, the way of war that kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred is not what he likes.

The sky gradually brightened, and Bai Qi looked at the rising sun and sighed, "It's summer." ”

It didn't take long for the scouts who had been scouting before to return.

"General, the city in front of you has gathered troops, not to mention as many as 10,000 people, the front of the city is full of traps, and various defense equipment has been prepared above the city, compared to the city we attacked before, the defensive intensity is much higher."

Bai Qi nodded: "I know, how close are the mountains on both sides of this city?" ”

"The city is built between the mountains, but the mountains on either side are steeper."

Bai Qi asked, "If Ben Shuai wants to put the catapult on the mountains on both sides, and it is within the attack range of the catapult, is there a way to let the catapult go up the mountain?" ”

"This ......"

The scouts were speechless, and one of them turned his head to look at the steep and smooth wall in the distance, which was really not very difficult to climb.

"Call the soldiers and craftsmen in the camp and call out."

"Yes."

Soon, all the soldiers and craftsmen who operated the equipment in the camp came, and when they heard Bai Qi's request, they all looked at each other.

"Commander, this is very difficult to do, first of all, people must go up, although this is difficult, but it is not impossible, but the problem is that the catapult goes up, which is more difficult."

Bai Qi said lightly: "Overcome difficulties, come up with a way, and reward five thousand taels of silver." ”

This time, everyone was thinking about it.

At this time, a craftsman stood up: "Commander, I learned a trick when I followed Zheng Guo before, if people can go up, we use ropes to tie up the catapults, tie the ropes to the thick tree trunks, and then pull the ropes to transport the catapults to the mountain, this is feasible, if it really doesn't work, we can build a city wall." ”

Bai nodded: "This method is feasible, and you are responsible for it." ”

"Yes."

……

The fighting in the east is in full swing, and the fighting in Hejian County in the west is also extremely fierce.

Call!

Tian Dan took a handful of water and rinsed it on his face, the cold spring water made him feel a lot more sober.

When he raised his head, he saw Lu Zhonglian walking over.

"Commander Tian."

"Mr. Lu can call me Tiandan, I can't bear your commander."

Tian Dan said with a smile.

The two of them were now in the mansion in the city where they had been attacked, and beside them, there were many soldiers standing guard.

Lu Zhonglian said with a smile: "In military affairs, it is necessary to call it like this, does the commander have any ideas next?" ”

The soldiers on the side immediately took Kanyu and spread it on the table, and it could be seen that the power of the new country in Hejian County had already occupied Yun County and a city in the southwest.

Tian Dan looked at the map and muttered: "I think it's not easy to decide, the south, the north and the west will be attacked." ”

He looked up and found that Lu Zhonglian was looking at him with a smile.

"What is your plan, sir?"

Lu Zhonglian said with a smile: "Commander, this time is indeed not easy to deal with, if we only look at the city, every time we beat a city, we must send troops to garrison, in this way, our forces will continue to disperse and weaken, even if these cities are under our control, but in the end, as long as we lose a game, all the occupied cities will be handed over." ”

Tian Dan nodded: "That's right, this time we have to face several enemies at the same time." ”

"Therefore, in line with General Bai's point of view, I also think that the most important strategic purpose of this operation is not to strengthen the city, but to directly weaken the opponent's living forces and constantly reduce the opponent's troops.

Tian Dan continued: "So these cities are useless to us. ”

"That's right, if we take the city, they will definitely attack, if we take advantage of this opportunity, we can leave an empty city for them, take advantage of the opportunity of their attack, and then take advantage of their attack, and then take advantage of their attack, and leave another empty city for them."

Tian Dan understood, this plan is really a poisonous plan to nourish war with war.

"Alright, herald, prepare to plunder the city."
