1. "We are not afraid to pay the price, hold Song City, we can pay any price." Yuan Huaifang said word by word, with some anger in his eyes, as if he was blaming Yuan Wuxing for not understanding the meaning of Song Cheng to the Yuan family.

"Uncle Fang, I know how important Songcheng is to us, but we will not give up easily when we face Xuzhou. Yuan Wuxing smiled bitterly, "Maybe we think that our current strength can compete with the Xuzhou side, but I think I'm afraid we still underestimate the strength of the Xuzhou side." ”

"How can you see it?" asked Yuan Huaiqing in a deep voice.

"This can be seen from the activity of the enemy's scouts in the past two days and the frequent attacks of their small army, the Xuzhou army can withstand greater losses, and their tenacity is stronger than we expected. Yuan Wuxing sorted out his thoughts, "I'll give you an example, the strong crossbowmen in the enemy's infantry army are very professional, and they are very good at forming formations and changing formations, and they are extremely powerful in dealing with our cavalry and infantry charges, causing us a lot of losses, and this should only be the performance of a certain aspect of the enemy's army, and once it enters the state of all-out decisive battle, I estimate that the Xuzhou army will have more killer weapons, and we have to be careful." ”

Yuan Wuxing's words silenced everyone present.

Indeed, the strong crossbowmen of the Xuzhou army brought great casualties to the Caizhou army, and it can be said that although the cavalry and infantry of the Caizhou army firmly held the area around the West Gate in the early stage, they paid a huge price.

In street fighting, the threat posed by the enemy's strong crossbowmen is huge, especially the formation is extremely flexible, three or five people can form a team, one or twenty people can also form a formation, and even fifty people and one hundred people can also form a formation.

In different environments and occasions, at different times, you can launch attacks, and even set up ambushes to attract people and launch counter-killing, which also makes the Caizhou army suffer enough.

"Hmm, is there anything else?" Yuan Huaiqing's face was calm, still indifferent, but the solemnity in his tone still made all the generals present a little depressed.

"There is also the strength of the Xuzhou army in the siege equipment, from the Qingzhou battle we have mastered the situation, the Xuzhou army can quickly break in our opinion is already a city of Qingzhou City, the siege equipment is the first merit, and this also means that the Xuzhou army can also use these equipment in a battle with us to come in handy, we may pay a great price. ”

Since you want to say it, let's say it thoroughly, Yuan Wuxing put aside his concerns.

"There is also the strength of the Xuzhou army, Jiang Feng attaches great importance to the power of magic, he searched for magicians everywhere when he was in Huainan, after attacking Xu Yan, the magician power of the probation army and the Taining army was scavenged by it, and all of them were included in the magic materials under his command, it is said that the number of magic magicians in the magic materials official academy has approached two hundred, which is equivalent to more than twice as many as us, although we have not heard that it has a magic master and a great master level of powerhouses, but according to this trend, it is also a matter of time, maybe in this battle, its magic power may also bring us unexpected losses。 ”

Yuan Wuxing's words were like a heavy stone pressing on the hearts of the generals.

It is not a secret that Jiang Feng attaches great importance to the power of magic, in the first battle of Wengangzha, the power of Huaiyou magicians made great contributions, so that Nanyang fell short, and now Jiang Feng has conquered the city and conquered the city, taking Huainan, Xu Si, Yanyun and Pinglu, sweeping away the magic power of these places, even if the magic power of the north is not as good as that of the south, but in more than ten states, how can there not be a few magicians who are really capable?

"Old Seven, then in your opinion, what should we do? We can't give up Song Cheng because of this, right?" Yuan Huaifang couldn't hold back.

"That's not it, I just think that we need to be cautious, we should consider giving full play to our advantages, for example, we are stronger than the enemy in the strength of senior officers and generals, we can make a fuss at this point, lead the dragon bird tail group, launch a deterrent attack on the enemy's attack point, knock out the enemy's sharpness, thwart the enemy's attack sharpness,......"

Hearing Yuan Wuxing say this, the faces of the generals improved slightly, this suggestion is very pertinent, this time to Songcheng, the Yuan family and the Zhao family, the Xue family, and the He family attached to the Yuan family have sent elite figures in their own families, although Zhao Yuanhuai died in battle, but the Zhao family still sent Zhao Yonghui to lead the team.

"Lao Qi's opinion is very important, if my prediction is correct, the enemy army may have to attack in the next two days, we must be prepared. Yuan Huaiqing's gaze finally retracted from the map, and his face became cold, "Don't think that Lao Qi is alarmist, Huaifang and Yonghui, you haven't really fought with the Xuzhou army, the current Xuzhou army is definitely not the Gushi army of the year, their combat effectiveness is strong enough, and they can afford it, compared with the situation in Gushi back then, it is reversed." ”

"Then we'll ......," Yuan Huaifang nodded.

"Make the most thorough preparations, you can look at the map, our Xicheng line, the garrison distribution is here, what is missing, for example, in the area of the small round alley, the courtyard wall is low, and the temple here is very open, if I am the Xuzhou army, I will definitely take this as a breakthrough point; We'll be caught off guard, we're too thinly staffed here,......"

Everyone's eyes converged on the map, listening to Yuan Huaiqing's arrangement.

"The big arch bridge here, well, it's these two houses, the ditch is too narrow, even if the bridge is destroyed, it doesn't make much sense, so it's better to leave this bridge, tonight Yonghui will take people to set up two guard towers from these two wings overnight, place the heavy crossbow on it, and arrange Xue Lao on the bridge and under the bridge to work hard, they have to install a spell ban, and to compound spell ban, you can also lay traps,......"

"Here in Qimen Tower, Wen Liang, you take people to set up three bed crossbows on this slope in the south, pay attention to hiding in the bushes on this slope, and set up sentry posts to prevent enemy scouts from discovering ,...... , Behind this archway, it is necessary to block it with a cross-type heavy crossbow, if I am the Xuzhou army, I may choose a cavalry assault, the terrain here is wide, and it is difficult for us to intercept it, so when the time comes, let Yuan Wenqing set up an ambush here with a crossbowman, and the ground can let the magician consider setting up an earth-based magic array, and it should be used at this time!"

Bubbling down, Yuan Huaiqing is obviously also painstaking, he obviously has to worry more about others, and he knows the strength of the opponent better, but he also understands that this battle must be fought, losing Song City, only controlling a few counties in the west, it is of little significance to the Yuan family, and losing Song Zhou is unacceptable to the Yuan family.

To defend the west city, in addition to relying on soldiers to build up the streets, another factor is to rely on fortifications, and several elements of fortifications must be brought into full play, only in this way can there be a chance to defend.

"Yuan's magic power is not weak, in these streets and alleys, all kinds of magic traps are indispensable, especially in some key nodes, it is estimated that they will install a large number of spell prohibitions and traps, and of course, all kinds of equipment are indispensable. ”

Chai Yong is also arranging offensive tactics, Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin are not familiar with the Caizhou army, and this kind of street fighting in the city is also what they are not very good at as a northern general, and Chai Yong is just one of the masters, so he acted as a strategic and tactical arranger.

Several infantry commanders were already standing by the sand table.

Compared with the map, the sand table is more intuitive than a star and a half.

However, the cost of the sand table is many times higher than that of the map, and not every city can come up with a tactical sand table, but Song City is an exception.

Even so, Songcheng's sand table can only be said to be unsatisfactory, after all, how can the entire Songcheng be made into a completely consistent sand table, no one can do it, but if it is combined with the map, the degree of intuitiveness is much stronger.

"Here in Dabeifang, the terrain is open, our cavalry can be killed all the way to the edge of the city wall, the Caizhou army will not be considered, they will definitely have targeted defense, such as bed crossbows, heavy crossbows and spell traps, etc., but we can first use the armored vehicles modified by the baggage carts to launch an attack, trigger the enemy's attack, and then have a strong crossbow to suppress, implement a breakthrough, and wait until the situation is opened, and then use the cavalry to attack, and hit the enemy ,......by surprise."

"The big arch bridge should also be a focus of contention between the two sides, the ditch is very shallow, it doesn't have much impact, the Caizhou army has not demolished this arch bridge, what do you think is the reason? Yes, that is, they feel that the ditch is too shallow to stop our infiltration and breakthrough, so they deliberately keep this bridge to attract us to break through from the arch bridge, and this can also provide targets for their long-range strike weapons, such as heavy crossbows and catapults, and can also provide a stage for their spell traps and prohibitions, if it were me, I would do the same,...... , of course we won't let them get their way,...... and the opposite is the best ,......"

The atmosphere in the hall was sometimes solemn, sometimes relaxed, and the commanders who came in batches took their orders and went away, and the magicians also sent representatives to observe.

They need to figure out where their opponent's sorcerers will make their moves, and they will give them a strategy on how to deal with them and how they are going to get involved in the attack.

In offensive and defensive battles, especially urban street battles, the most brutal are short-handed, the brave wins, and the tenacious wins.
