Chapter 364: Finalizing the Strategy
After the successful crossing of the river, the army of the new country immediately began to camp by the river, and was not busy attacking, because the soldiers of the Wan and Pin countries retreated into the city and could not hold out.
Let the follow-up siege equipment also be transported across the river, and at the same time, all the cities in the Shunguo area are also occupied by the new country.
Wanguo's territory has shrunk further.
The new country is taking the strategic line of gradually encroaching on the Wanguo step by step, and the most important thing in the battle is stability, and the other party must not be allowed to turn the tables at the last moment.
Tian Dan is also more aware of this kind of reversal, if Wanguo and Pinguo are not completely destroyed, there is hope for a reversal, such as when he guarded Jimo.
To the south of Wanguo, the armies of Hu Che'er and Yang Youji are also lined up in the southern city.
On the second day, the general offensive was launched again.
Bai Qi's face is as usual, this time the siege battle will be difficult, because this is the last line of defense of Wanguo, as long as these lines of defense are broken and the troops are under the city, Wanguo will definitely have no possibility of turning the tables.
The army of Han Kuangrui and others was frantically attacking the northernmost city, Bai Qi's army was attacking the city in the middle, and the lower one was Tian Dan leading the army to attack, with continuous shouts and killings, and black arrows shooting from both sides towards each other.
On top of the city are ladders, and the soldiers of the new country who climb are like spider-men.
The weather was also gradually getting cooler, and the day's attack was not until the evening when Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and in the military tent, Bai Qi and others met again.
"No, the city is difficult to attack, Wan Guo and Pin Guo have invested a lot of troops, and it is too difficult to defeat these cities."
"There are only twenty days before winter, and it is a bit difficult to destroy Wanguo within twenty days."
Bai Qi was silent: "Do you have any suggestions?" ”
Lu Zhonglian thought for a moment: "If we continue to attack from the front, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight it in half a month, and we can't drag it out until winter, so we can't think about forcibly attacking the city anymore, we can only consider attacking from the side." ”
Tian Dan also said: "That's right, if you continue to fight like this, you will let the other party hold on until winter." ”
When winter comes, the balance of victory in the war will undergo some subtle changes, and Tian Dan and others are clear.
In history, the most obvious reliance on winter to complete the turnaround is related to Russia, Napoleon attacked Tsarist Russia, only to be directly defeated by the long border and cold; Germany's attack on the Soviet Union was also affected by the weather and ended in a crushing defeat.
Hu Che'er said; "Why don't you let me attack from the south?"
Shiro shook his head.
Han Kuangrui said: "The people who guard these three cities are all the fierce generals of Wanguo, and Taiwei Liu Feng is personally in command, he is the best at defending the city, the city is dense and orderly, and it is indeed difficult to attack." ”
Defending the city is far easier than attacking the city, Wanguo's technology is not bad, the city is thick enough, and it is naturally easy to defend the city, at least the Lieguo has fought for so long, and it has not completely broken Wanguo's defense line, which is a proof.
"If this is not the case, surround these three cities, and then send elite cavalry to take the imperial capital directly, and take the imperial capital, and the matter will be done."
Bai Qi said: "In this way, the other party will definitely break through strongly." ”
"That's great, when the other party goes out of the city, we will fight them in the wilderness, without the strength of the city, they will definitely not be the opponent of our new country."
Zhong Liyi thought for a while: "I think that now Wanguo can hold on, a large part of the reason is because of the participation of Pinguo, before Wanguo was annihilated by our main force, there are not so many troops at all, and now the vast majority of those who help defend the city are the troops of Pinguo, according to me, we simply involve the main force of the other party first, send the elite, and directly take down Pinguo, and if Pinguo dies, the soldiers who help defend the city will inevitably collapse directly." ”
Lu Zhonglian said: "General Chen has already plundered in the territory of Pinguo, according to the news he came, there are still 10,000 troops defending the city in Pinguo, if you can break through these 10,000 troops, it is feasible." ”
Tian Dan raised his head: "Why don't you encircle Wei and save Zhao?" ”
General Gao said: "No, the main force here is mobilized, and if the troops are not enough, the other side will inevitably take the opportunity to attack." ”
Bai Qi groaned for a moment: "What if the troops we transferred away are just an illusion? Pretending to send a large number of troops to attack Pinguo, to create a false impression to Wanguo, our side of the defense is not attacking, so that Wanguo has only two choices, the first is Pinguo to defend the city of the generals to come back, the second is to go out of the city to attack, and part of this group of troops directly turn back halfway, if they come out to attack, directly surround them, annihilate them; If they come back to help, they will inevitably pass through the middle lane, and we can directly ambush and surround Wei to save Zhao. ”
Han Kuangrui and Zhong Liyi glanced at each other, what a good idea.
"But what if they still can't hold out?"
"Can't hold on? Then let the army really attack Pinguo, Pinguo only has 10,000 troops, and it has to defend three cities, it won't last long, even if it sticks to the imperial capital, under siege, it won't last long. ”
Bai Qi They don't want to fight on both sides, the two fronts are full of variables, but now they don't want to find a way, they still forcibly attack the city, these three cities can't be taken, and the war drags into winter, it's really too variable.
Everyone discussed some details again, and after finalizing it, they were ready to leave tomorrow.
……
Early in the morning, Hu Che'er and Han Kuangrui led a total of 10,000 cavalry and went straight to Pinguo.
Coupled with Chen Tang's troops, the total strength has exceeded the strength of Pinguo's defense of the city.
After meeting with Chen Tang, he explained his intentions, joined forces, and launched an attack on the three county towns of Pinguo again.
There was a steady stream of siege equipment transported from Guangmen Pass, and the war had already begun to burn money frantically, and the funds in the treasury of Rentian, including some remaining funds, were basically all smashed into the manufacturing equipment.
Yipin Jiangshan and the three-color Rubik's Cube also made a video call for the first time.
"The new country is attacking me again, and there are many troops."
The three-color Rubik's Cube said in a deep voice: "The new country on my side is holding its ground, how long can you hold out?" ”
"Ten days at most, the siege equipment of the new country is a bit fierce, the catapult should have been upgraded to the third level, the distance is farther, and my side will hold on for ten days at most."
The three-color Rubik's Cube groaned for a moment, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes: "If this is the case, simply send troops to directly attack this part of the army, destroy them, and then join forces to attack the main army here." ”
If they continue to fight like this, it will be difficult for them to drag the country and the country of Wan into the winter, and now the primary goal is to hold on for twenty days, and the country cannot be destroyed.
Yipin Jiangshan said in a deep voice: "I will let Xu Rong lead the army back, you hold the city, and wait until I destroy this part of the new army first." ”
"Okay."
The two finalized.
After the afternoon, Xu Rong in the city led a part of the army and quickly marched towards the direction of Pinguo.
At the moment when Xu Rong took action, the spies of the new country had already reported the situation.
And almost at the moment when Xu Rong sent out his troops, Zhong Liyi led the soldiers, took Meng Ben, and also set off towards Pinguo in the west.
