Chapter 18: The Siege Begins

The defense of Tucheng is very cleverly built. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The construction area of the earth castle itself is not large, so it is not too difficult to build it by relying on mountains and forests. As a result, only one side of the city itself is outside, and the other three sides are sunken in the open space of the mountain sanitation.

This makes Tucheng a hard bone that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there are sufficient supplies, let alone a thousand people attacking the city, even if there are 1 times as many soldiers, it will be difficult to bite down.

The Fire Phoenix Army, which is good at defending the city itself, relies on such an earthen city. It completely occupies the geographical advantage, which makes it even more difficult to attack the city.

Of course, it was not without the generals who attacked the city under such a situation, but at that time it was an all-round military exercise, and there were more factors available, and now, there are only three days, so that is to say, the egret must choose a hard attack.

Even if there were a thousand people in hand, in Qin Yu's senses, it would be an impossible task.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Yu looked at the egret with a puzzled face, this guy still looked unhurried, and didn't seem to have the slightest worry about the upcoming three-day siege.

"The earth city stands on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you don't observe the situation first, there is no way to do it. The egret said slowly, "Not only is the other party relying on natural hazards, but the defense on the city wall is also first-class. ”

"Four watchtowers were set up on the city walls, high and low, and they guarded each other. It can not only give early warning, but also observe the situation. How many troops we dispatched and how to attack were clear in the eyes of the other side. ”

"The width of the walls of the earth city is similar to that of a regular big city, and the thickness and height are impeccable, if you use a ladder to attack the city, even if the current thousand people are dead, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack. ”

Egret's statement is a complete negation of the plan of a frontal hard attack. But in the face of a one-sided Tucheng, is there any other way than a frontal hard attack?

"The earth city is not big, and according to the internal architectural arrangement, there is no appearance of food in stock. This shows that during the three-day siege of the city, the other side will definitely transport grain from the outside world. The egret thought and said, "Attacking the city through the grain transport army is probably one of the options that can be considered." ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu also picked up.

"Not bad. However, there will not be much food to support 500 people for three days. The speed of the other party's grain transportation team must be very fast, and I am afraid that if you want to intercept the grain, it will be a difficult thing. ”

Qin Yu's consideration is very crucial, but the structure of the earth city is simple, although it is difficult to attack, but there is only one entrance. staring at the gate of this city, giving the grain transport team great ability, there is no way to enter safely under the nose of the egret.

"The cavalry of 50 men in two teams is stationed in an area of two miles outside the city, and once the opponent's grain convoy is discovered, there is no need to ask for instructions, and the attack can be launched immediately, and the other party must be harassed and unable to obtain food safely. Tell them that they don't have to take it away, just destroy it on the spot. Egret arranged.

Two teams of cavalry were enough to destroy the food.

Qin Yu also recognized this, "If we start to do it once we find out about the grain transport team, will we also directly disguise ourselves as grain transport troops, take the opportunity to rush under the city gate, and then enter the city in a foolish way." In this way, we have a great chance to conquer Tucheng!"

Egret shook his head, "How many people do you think the other party will use to escort food? We have a team of people to go over, as long as others are not stupid, they can see that something is wrong in an instant, how can they open the door for us." ”

"But the way you're talking about it is a very common way of thinking. Maybe we can take advantage of what the other party has seen through to make a situation that is beneficial to us. ”

Qin Yu nodded, she also knew that with the methods she could think of, it was impossible for Captain Xiong to think of it, that old and cunning guy didn't know how many times he had fought on the battlefield to defend the city, and he had encountered any situation. It must be experienced, and it is difficult to deceive him by ordinary means.

However, since the strong attack is not possible, and the grain transportation team is hopeless, what method will the egret use to attack the city? This really makes Qin Yu puzzled.

The white egret didn't adjust Qin Yu's appetite much, and in the evening, he directly took Qin Yu and some of the female soldiers of the Fengwu Army to the mountain behind Tucheng to investigate the situation first.

This mountain cliff is towering, and if you look straight down, it is Tucheng.

Even on the edge of the cliff, pushing the boulder down can't hit the building of the earthen city. This is a place within the earthen castle, and the buildings are not very close to the cliff. Moreover, the cliff side goes straight up and down, and the boulder can't roll.

The cliff side here is more than 300 meters high from the ground of Tucheng, and the egret fixed his eyes and has a number in his heart.

The situation was much better than he expected.

In Nina's world, there is such a thing as an airship, so it is more comprehensive to consider the danger of falling from a height. The first is the crash cushion safety cotton, which is like an inflatable net, put people in it, when falling from the air, it will first reduce the falling speed because of air buoyancy, and when it lands, the safety cotton will also greatly absorb the impact force, even if it is a child placed in it, it will be fine if it falls from a high altitude to the ground.

In comparison, the distance of 300 meters is like a joke, and it is not a problem at all.

Before the egret came, he collected a lot of equipment in his own space, and this safety cotton was also finished in a finished package, because it was more troublesome to open the safety cotton in the warehouse, he took a box directly from the warehouse. If the number is correct, it's a full 100 finished boxes.

But even so, there is still a problem to solve.

If you land with safety cotton, only 100 people can reach the rear of Tucheng, and there is a towering observation arrow tower on the wall of Tucheng. This is an early warning and defense building of Tucheng. The egret didn't believe that there would be no alarm to alert the defenders in the city.

If you want to descend from the sky and reach the watchtower steadily, you must have flying equipment that can control the direction of landing. As for the glider or the controllable parachute, not to mention the problem of insufficient height, the egret itself does not carry such an object.

But this is not the only way to land out of thin air.

After roughly observing the distance between the city wall and the cliff, the egret also had a spectrum in his heart. In order to take advantage of the mountain risk, the city wall of Tucheng is almost connected with the mountain cliff, this distance is not as far as imagined, and the plan in the heart of the egret can be adopted.

That night, late at night, Egret and Qin Yu returned to the camp. Different from the inexplicable expression on his face before, when he came down the mountain, Qin Yu had already changed from inexplicable to shocked.

She had truly seen a method that she had never seen before. It simply refreshed this girl's worldview.

When Egret arranged the plan again, Qin Yu had no other ideas at all, and became a serious and studious elementary school student, just accepting Egret's overall arrangement.

The people rested for the night.

Early the next morning, Captain Xiong led the troops and officially entered Tucheng.

The gongs and drums sounded loudly.

Siege, begin!
