When Zhang Wei woke up, it was already dusk, and when he woke up, he was refreshed, he only felt that it would not be a problem to hit Weidongguan again at night, let alone such a small Weinancang in front of him.

At this time, the teammates also woke up one after another, briefly dealt with personal hygiene problems, and leaned over to the Weinancang sand table made by Sima Fuqiang, ready to listen to the specific arrangements of the three stinkers.

Sima Fuqiang also looked at Zhang Wei with anticipation, since this guy can sleep with peace of mind, he must already be confident.

Zhang Wei pointed to the northeast corner of the sand table and was about to speak, but was stopped by Huang Zhi. He and Sima Fuqiang looked at Huang Zhi in bewilderment, hoping to hear a reasonable explanation.

Huang Zhi pulled Chen Chuang, the newly promoted adjutant of the Eastern Navy, over and said in a kind way, "As the commander of the Eastern Navy, you can't always enjoy shelter under our wing, you should always have your own opinions and opinions. Come on, tell me your opinion, how to fight this battle? ”

Although Chen Chuang was the first batch of elite personnel to join the town guard, he was also an old acquaintance with the people in his dreams, and after a few battles, he could be regarded as knowing the roots, so he was selected by Zhang Wei as the third commander after Wu Qiang and Zhao Meng. However, he was not confident enough, and looked at the people in his dreams with fear, but he didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Zhang Wei and the others also understood Huang Zhi's intentions, he was taking this opportunity to train Chen Chuang, which was the biggest purpose of the East China Sea team to fight and fight. If we cannot take this opportunity to train a group of middle- and high-ranking officers with command ability, then how can the East China Sea further expand its scale in the future, and we will never be able to keep the three stinkers of the East China Sea Brigade by their side as nannies for the rest of their lives.

In the future, when the Eastern Navy grows larger, the role of the three stinkers will be mainly at the strategic level of conquering the city, and the command of each unit will still return to these commanders. If these people can't even defeat Kokura Castle, there will be no hope for the Eastern Navy.

Huang Zhi patted him on the shoulder, "Let's be bold, you don't think that we will definitely act according to your opinion, right?" Don't be stressed. ”

With Huang Zhi's encouragement, Chen Chuang mustered up the courage to walk to the sand table, looked at Sima Fuqiang, and after receiving a nod of encouragement from Lord Zhenshou, he began to speak his idea. Sima Fuqiang's sand table is becoming more and more exquisite, and even a few sentry posts and several patrols at the head of the city are clearly marked, so it is almost impossible to let the small flags representing the patrol team move.

Therefore, Chen Chuang immediately saw that the northeast corner of the tail south warehouse was a weak link in the defense, and immediately pointed to that place and said, "This is the weakest link in the defense of the tail south warehouse, I believe that with the ability of a few adults, you can quickly climb the city from here and form a breakthrough." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the three stinkers of the East China Sea team, and saw that they all gave him encouraging eyes, so he continued to analyze with confidence, "Due to the small size of the city, only one city gate is opened, in the direction of the official road to the south. The form of the gate is different from that of the Tail Gate, which is a lifting gate, while here it is a traditional sliding gate, which relies on latches to prevent enemies from opening the door from the outside. Then you should come down from the road by the gate, quickly take up the gate, and open the gate from the inside. ”

"Wait, you said that we will do it for a long time, so what is the Eastern Navy going to do?" Zhang Wei couldn't help but interrupt him.

Chen Chuang paused for a moment, he could hear the dissatisfaction in Zhang Wei's words, but he didn't understand the reason, so he could only stubbornly say, "I will lead the Eastern Navy to guard in the grove, and when you adults attack Weinancang, I will immediately send troops to respond." ”

Huang Zhi knew his brother better, so he naturally knew why he was dissatisfied, although Chen Chuang keenly discovered the weaknesses of Weinancang and the characteristics of the city gate, but the plan behind it was basically a copy of the battle of Weidongguan, and there was nothing new of his own in it. Although these future middle- and high-ranking commanders of the Eastern Navy are still in the learning stage, they inevitably lack the spirit of innovation, and this is not possible.

Huang Zhi knew that Zhang Wei was also kind enough to remind him, hoping that the new commander would use his brains more, but there were some problems with his expression, which would only make people more nervous. So Huang Zhi guided Chen Chuang with a pleasant face, "Your idea itself is correct, but what if we are not here today?" How do you do that? Know that this will definitely happen in the future. ”

Chen Chuang only understood at this moment, and looked at the sand table of Weinancang hesitantly. It's a small city, but if you don't have the Dream Man to attack, it's really a bit of a hassle to take it down. After all, the combat power of the Dream Man is quite amazing, and only nine people can control the entire city, but it is difficult for the soldiers of the Eastern Navy to do this.

He once again looked at the structure of the Onancang seriously, racking his brains to think.

Seeing that Chen Chuang was thinking of countermeasures with his heart, Zhang Wei no longer forced him, anyway, there was still a long time before the war tonight, and he was not in a hurry for a while.

After a while, Chen Chuang's eyes lit up, and he obviously had a countermeasure. After sorting out his thoughts a little more, he spoke, "If you don't have your lords, although we can still use the northeast corner of the tail south warehouse as a breakthrough, the difficulty will be increased accordingly. My solution was to divide fifty elite soldiers with strong skills and ambush them in a blind spot outside the northeast corner, and let the large army make a feint from the main entrance. Since the rebels did not have a large number of people on duty at night, once they were attacked, they would definitely concentrate in the direction of the attack at the first opportunity. When the attention of the rebels at the head of the city was all attracted by our frontal troops, these fifty elite soldiers broke through from the northeast corner and occupied the wall. ”

Zhang Wei was quite satisfied with the new plan proposed by Chen Chuang this time, so he spoke out and continued to guide his train of thought, "And then? What are you going to do with these people? ”

Chen Chuang had obviously considered Zhang Wei's question, so he replied without hesitation, "I will make further contingencies according to the reaction of the rebels defending the city." If the rebels had put heavy forces on the defense of the city gates at this time, I would have had more soldiers break through from the northeast corner. On the other hand, if the rebels shift the focus of defense to these men and horses who have seized the city, I will strengthen the attack on the city gate on the one hand, and find another weak link to break through on the other hand, so that the rebels will be unable to defend themselves. ”

Seeing that Chen Chuang had nothing to say, Zhang Weicai reminded him, "What is the role of Wei Nancang?" ”

Chen Chuang replied without hesitation, "The main role is the granary, and at the same time, there are other materials collected and distributed here, which can be regarded as a supply point for the rebels." ”

Zhang Wei nodded, pointing to the granaries in the mini-tail south warehouse on the sand table, "Regardless of our war this time, what is the purpose of the usual military operations against this kind of stronghold?" ”

This problem is not a difficult problem for Chen Chuang, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi mentioned it more than once when they were teaching the art of war class to the elites of the town guard a while ago, "Either they go to rob grain and grass because they are short of food, or they burn grain and grass to make the enemy army short of food, these are the main two purposes." ”

"Well, if you know that, why don't you take advantage of it? The value of the existence of the tail south warehouse is not the city itself, but the materials in the city. What if you let those fifty Eastern Navy soldiers who broke in first set a fire? ”

Chen Chuang showed a suddenly realized expression, "If our army sets fire to the food, the defenders will inevitably divide some people to fight the fire." No, not only that, they will definitely mistakenly think that the purpose of our army is to burn grain and grass, and they have to divide their forces to guard the granary. In this way, they have to guard the city gate, prevent our army from continuing to break through from the northeast corner, and guard the granary, which is really overwhelming. It will be easier for us to choose the enemy's weakest link to strike. ”

Seeing that the other party was able to penetrate a little, Zhang Wei took the opportunity to teach him more siege skills, "That's right, another example is the siege gate, in fact, with the height of the city wall of Weinancang, the infantry can easily break through as long as there is a ladder to climb the city." The only thing that needs to enter through the city gate is the cavalry, and the troops we brought this time are mainly infantry, and the cavalry is only fifty people, so there is basically no need to seize the city gate. But the rebels defending the city don't know this, so we can make a posture that wants to break through the city gate, so that the rebels defending the city have to arrange heavy troops to guard the city gate, which is also a way. ”

Chen Chuang silently remembered in his heart while listening, although the battle had not yet started tonight, he had already benefited a lot.

The three stinkers went to the side and communicated privately for a while, before walking back to the edge of the sand table, and Sima Fuqiang announced an order, "You have already considered it more thoroughly, and the other details can only be carefully experienced in the actual combat process." So be it, tonight you will have full command of the operation of the South Warehouse. And the nine of us will be the breaking force in your hands, and you will send another forty men to fight with us, and you will command the rest. We go according to plan! ”

Unexpectedly, he would be able to command a regular siege battle at the beginning of his tenure, and the basic structure of the battle plan was still implemented according to his own opinions, Chen Chuang could be said to be overjoyed. If he can take the tail Nancang at the lowest cost, he will be able to sit firmly in the position of deputy commander. And with this victory in hand, it will also be a capital in the future, otherwise he is really a little afraid of facing those veterans of the Eastern Navy who are the same period as him, and he is afraid that they will not submit to his control.

Later, under the guidance of three stinkers, Chen Chuang asked his soldiers to collect local materials in the grove, cut down a few trees, and made a few simple ladders and rams for attacking the door. When the time comes, the trick is enough, and the rebels who defend the city do not believe that the Eastern Navy wants to storm the main gate.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the East China Sea team led forty agile soldiers selected by Zhang Wei, and these people were also the special forces he planned to focus on training for the East China Navy. If we can't train some special troops who are good at attacking cities and pulling out villages, the East China Sea team will not be able to get rid of the fate of being coolies in the future, and how can they sit in the rear with a higher vision to strategize and rebuke Fang Xuan for the East China Navy.

The goal of the three stinkers is to form a force similar to the "trapped camp" led by Gao Shun, a general under Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms period, which can be attacked and invincible.

With these forty core men and horses of the future East China Sea Attack Force, the East China Sea team hid in a visual blind spot less than 100 meters away from the northeast corner of the South Coast. It's a small valley behind a ridge, small enough to accommodate about fifty people. Originally, without a detailed investigation, people who first arrived here would not have been able to find such a good place to hide soldiers. However, when Sima Fuqiang used his "sand table deduction" skill to miniaturize the terrain around Weinancang to the small sand table, this small valley fell into their sight and became the first choice for ambushes tonight.

At this time, they waited for the sound of Chen Chuang leading his troops to attack the city from the south gate of Weinancang, and it was certain that the fifty people on duty on the city wall would definitely gather at the gate at the first time to resist the strong attack of the Eastern Navy, and at that time it would be the turn of the East China Sea team to take forty soldiers to attack.

Of course, it is also possible that those soldiers are loyal to their duties and do not leave their respective posts at all, so the intrusion force led by the East China Sea team will not have a chance to play. However, the three stinkers did not foresee such a situation, and specially reminded Chen Chuang that if the rebels defending the city did not respond enough to his attack, he could completely pretend to do it, and simply take advantage of the weak defense of the other party to forcibly take the front wall and city gate.

A moment later, the sound of gongs and drums sounded from the south tower of the city tower, which not only woke up the sleeping rebel soldiers in the city, but also summoned the soldiers on duty scattered on all four sides of the city wall, leaving an empty section of the city wall. To paraphrase the metaphor that people like to use, it is really like a beautiful woman who has been stripped naked, lying there quietly tempting the East China Sea team to take what she wants.

The distance of one hundred meters is very short, even if an ordinary person runs at full speed, it is only ten seconds, in order to avoid the rebel Zhaowu Captain from making a plan, Zhang Wei first took Xiao Qi over to explore the truth. By the time he sent Xiao Qi to the wall, it had only been half a minute.

Seeing Xiao Qi make a safe gesture on the wall, and then his figure slowly disappeared into a shadow, Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang immediately led the rest of the personnel to run towards the city wall at full speed. At the same time, Zhang Wei had easily climbed up alone with his superb skills, grabbed a torch inserted in the wall, and threw it fiercely at a granary in the city.

Just when the rest of the Donghai team and forty Donghai soldiers cooperated with each other to climb up to the top of the city one by one, Zhang Wei had already thrown more than ten torches into the granary in the city, plunging the northwest corner of the city wall of Dewei Nancang into darkness, and the city had already begun to burst into flames everywhere, reflecting the night sky above Cangcheng in an instant.

Captain Zhaowu of the Onancang, who was in charge of guarding the town, looked at the blood-stained red sky, and his heart felt as if he was dripping blood. Although he had prepared for defense a few days earlier, he was still unable to defend himself against the opponent's night attack.

At this moment, the two city gates were squeaked and rattled by each other's rams, as if they were about to fall apart at any time, and it seemed that countless soldiers outside were waving their flags and shouting, and they were about to attack the city at any time. But he couldn't leave, so he had to give priority to organizing heavy soldiers with no combat effectiveness to fight the fire, otherwise even if Weinancang was defended, but if he lost food and grass, the leaders of the rebels would not let him go. The other party really made a killing move to attack it!

It wasn't until he found that the head of the castle in the northeast corner of Cangcheng was in darkness that he realized that the arsonist had burst into the city from that direction, but at the moment he couldn't even figure out where the other party was. The burning granary was so dazzling that he couldn't see what was in the darkness.

At this moment, a powerful arrow roared through the raging flames on a grain and grass in front of him, and flew towards the chest of Captain Zhaowu. Realizing that his future in the rebels was bleak and he was in a trance, he did not know how to dodge, and watched as the arrow plunged into his chest and fell straight down.

"Oh no! The city is broken! The castle keeper has been killed! A panicked soldier shouted.

"Was it killed...... In fact, the arrow did not hit the heart of Captain Zhaowu, due to the distortion of the air caused by the flames, Huang Zhi's arrow was actually aimed crookedly, and it hit the right chest of this person. But Captain Zhaowu had a sense of relief, rather than going back alive to accept military justice, it was better to die in this Nancang City, and he could still get a good reputation for dying in the line of duty. So he had been lying there upright, with no desire to stand up with his injuries and continue to command.

On the wall, Huang Zhi looked in that direction puzzled, "It seems to be a crooked shot, and it seems to be a shot...... But is that person really a C+ rank Zhaowu lieutenant? I don't think he's very skilled, and he can't even dodge me with a random arrow......"

Huang Zhi's original intention was to threaten the other party's commander with his life, making him even more panicked under the pressure, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even have the will to dodge, and after being hit by the arrow, he simply lay down and waited for death.

At this point, there was no suspense in the battle of Nancang, a commander who did not survive ** plus a group of soldiers without a leader, and when they found that the Donghai team appeared behind them with dozens of people, most of the soldiers wisely chose to lay down their arms and surrender. Only a handful of diehards of the rebels were still resisting, but they were quickly routed by the frontal forces led by Chen Chuang.

After the great victory in this battle, Chen Chuang can be described as full of spirits, because this is a battle that is really commanded by him, although the three stinkers of the East China Sea team have given him a lot of guidance and supplements, but it does not prevent him from having a successful command experience. After the battle, the casualties were counted, and except for a few unlucky soldiers who were wounded by stray arrows in the early stages of the siege, there were almost no casualties in the subsequent battles. In short, all the wounded were added together, and Li Sha only took one night to treat all of them, not at all like the ten days she spent treating the disabled soldiers after the Battle of Weidongguan.

Then count the losses of the rebels defending the city, because this small city has only one city gate, it is not easy to escape, except for a few rebel soldiers who jumped over the wall to escape, the rest were either killed or surrendered, almost all of them.

There are two hundred baggage soldiers in Weinancang City who have no combat effectiveness, and there are only three hundred real combat soldiers, plus they have been mentally exhausted by the reaction of Captain Zhaowu recently, and they were suddenly awakened from their dreams, and they can exert less than half of their combat power. The Eastern Navy is equivalent to five hundred enemies and one hundred and fifteen, if you consider the high personal combat power of the dream man, under such a huge disparity in strength, this battle should also be easily won, otherwise Chen Chuang can really fight back to his original form and continue to be a squad leader.

After the war, after cleaning up the mess, after seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the Eastern Navy, most of the soldiers, including the immortal Captain Zhaowu, expressed their willingness to surrender to the Eastern Navy, not to mention the two hundred baggage soldiers.

At this time, there was still a lot of grain and grass in Cangcheng that had not been burned, and it was also a small supplement for the East China Sea Territory, which suddenly poured in a large number of refugees from Wei County. Coupled with the fact that they had 200 baggage soldiers and some chariots and horses for transporting grain, how could the Donghai team let go of this unexpected gain, and simply emptied the Weinancang and returned to Weidongguan with the captured and surrendered rebels first, and postponed the next battle that was intended to continue for a few days.
