Chapter 287: Thirty-Three
"Senior brother, aren't you joking with me!" Cinnabar suddenly felt a little speechless and choked!
Digging tunnels, digging what kind of tunnels, the spirit beast army is stationed in the camp, which is ten miles away from the Chiwai City, and it takes how much manpower and material resources it takes to dig tunnels all the way from here.
Not to mention whether this move will be discovered by the defenders of the Red Kingdom, the excavation alone consumes a very staggering amount of time and effort, and it will take at least ten months to dig a tunnel that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
And the biggest obstacle is that this is a plain area, not a stony mountain town, and if the ground is not hard enough, there is a risk of collapse at any time!
Senior Brother Baishan, when I saw that you were serious and serious, I really thought that you had learned a lot of wisdom and strategy, but now it seems that you are obviously overestimating you!
Cinnabar couldn't help but shake his head and sighed and said, "Senior brother, are you sure that Zi Xiao has obtained any training results?"
"Senior brother, don't worry, it's not too late to listen to me slowly!"
In the face of Cinnabar's questioning and ridicule, Bai Shan was not angry at all, as if these scenes had already been expected, and said with a serious face at the moment:
"Now, although you are leading the spirit beast army to the city, for the entire Red Country, it is also because of your arrival that it is extremely rare for all people to unite as one, share the same hatred and hatred, and unite unprecedentedly to fight you to the death!"
"There is no other reason, the clan war is bloody and ruthless, why don't they understand, almost everywhere you spirit beast army goes, almost all of them are killed, and there is not a single grass left, just ask any human race, from the elderly to the ten-year-old children, which one is not to fight with great spirit, to win a way for yourself!"
When Bai Shan said this, he sneered at Cinnabar again: "Senior brother, when it comes to this, I'm afraid that you still have great disdain in your heart, right? It is true that I also know that the soldiers of the Spirit Beast Race are brave and good at fighting, and one is ten, as long as they concentrate on attacking the fortified battle, then sooner or later they will take this Red Country!"
"But have you thought about it, even if you achieve your goal at this time, but how much will this army of tens of thousands of spirit beasts sacrifice?"
Bai Shan fiddled with a matter of things and shook his fingers and said, "At least more than half of them will die, is it worth the victory in exchange for such a tragic loss?"
When Cinnabar heard this, he couldn't help but change his face suddenly, if it was really as Bai Shan's words said, if the soldiers and civilians in the city were united, this siege battle would be very tricky!
Seeing that he was silent, Bai Shan knew that he had already said what was on his mind, and immediately continued to add branches and leaves: "Back to the topic we just talked about, the city is already tightly grouped, even the many sects including the Donglan Sword Sect, the same is true, when we storm the city of the Red Kingdom, they will basically be killed and injured. ”
"This is tantamount to deviating from your original intentions, so I thought of using the method of digging tunnels, killing multiple birds with one stone, with all benefits and no harm!"
He came to a somewhat complacent conclusion: "According to my analysis, there are 'three non-beatables' in this frontal attack."
And this method of tunnel excavation also has 'three must fight!'"
This guy is actually a whole set!
After hearing this, Cinnabar's eyes suddenly narrowed into a line, and he looked at Bai Shan, who was talking eloquently, with a subtle and rare look of surprise, but his mouth was full of interest: "There are such things to say, senior brother may wish to say and listen to it, so that the junior brother can also be taught!"
"Senior brother, don't be ashamed to ask, sincerely seeking advice is a good character, you are really a lot more mature!"
Bai Shan proudly ridiculed Cinnabar, and even completely ignored the latter's rolling eyes, and said eloquently: "Speaking of the 'three must not fight' and 'three must fight,' there is some knowledge in it." ”
"Throughout the ages, the defenders of the city in the past generations have deliberately built tall city walls for the purpose of defense, especially those mountain cities, often based on the terrain and condescending, so that the attackers are helpless, and then defeated!"
"And with the experience of many wars of the same nature, the attacking and defending sides are often the defending side with the advantage, even if the number is not as good, but it can also rely on the superior conditions to defeat the besieging side!"
Bai Shan explained endlessly: "Today's defenders, drawing on the experience of their predecessors in defending the city, have also made some changes to the structure of the city wall, such as adding city towers, pheasant moats, corner towers, etc., which can not only erect city defense equipment, but also be able to open a narrow inner and outer wide perforation in the middle, supplemented by throwing heavy objects and throwing hot oil to block the attack on the city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is the second can not be beaten!"
"As for the last point that cannot be beaten, it is actually the simplest and most important, which is the word 'human heart'!"
Bai Shan's expression on his face became unprecedentedly solemn and said: "Senior brother, if it were you, would you choose to directly slaughter the whole city and leave no chickens and dogs after you take the city with blood! Or will you choose a method that does not kill the soldiers and conquer the hearts of the people!"
Cinnabar was also shocked when he heard this, although Bai Shan was talking eloquently, but every sentence was to his heart, since the start of the clan war, he had always intended to reduce killing in his heart, not to mention that in front of him was the Chi Kingdom and the Donglan Sword Sect where he grew up!
"Senior brother, I think I have understood the meaning of your words, this frontal attack is indeed particularly undesirable, so next, you might as well talk about your so-called 'three must fights' of digging tunnels. ”
"Well, this 'three must fight' is much simpler, but all the battlefield fights, most of them are unprepared, unexpected. This is the way of employing troops: the march is soothing, and its ranks are as orderly as the forest of trees; the invasion and plundering are as fierce as the fire and cannot be stopped; and the movement is so fast that it is difficult to resist like the disease of a flying wind. ”
Cinnabar listened to Baishan's unfathomable theory, and it was almost difficult to believe his ears, this "salty pig" type brother who would only rub oil and enjoy himself in the past really had the demeanor of a master!
"This method of digging tunnels is also commonly known as 'digging the corners of the wall,' so far, it is the first method I have come up with, and it is the most suitable method for attacking the Red Country and defending the city!"
Bai Shan obviously didn't understand what Cinnabar was thinking, and the spit in his mouth continued to splash and said: "Second, it's to take advantage of the land, there is no river guarding the city outside the city wall of the Red Kingdom, even if the tunnel is dug, there is no need to worry about the collapse caused by flooding, and I have carefully inspected it with Senior Brother Zhaowenji, the land of the Red Country has always been fertile and solid, so there is no need to worry about the problem of damage to the tunnel halfway!"
When Cinnabar heard this, his heart was already excited, and his confidence increased greatly, and he couldn't help but ask aloud: "Senior brother, what is the third reason for fighting?"
"I have to ask yourself about this!" Bai Shan glanced at Cinnabar meaningfully, and said with deep meaning: "Aren't you a spirit beast clan?
"Oops! Why didn't I think of this!" When Cinnabar heard this, he immediately realized, slapped his thigh, and shouted excitedly!
