The horse's hooves fell into a dream, and the sound urged.

Zhang Chu lifted the thin blanket, got up and poured a bowl of tea, and drank half a bowl in one go.

When I walked out of the camp, I saw that the moon was still lonely in the sky.

At the time of day and night, the untimely sound of war and chaos broke the original purity and tranquility.

Zhang Chuli listened outside the tent.

In just two quarters of an hour, five brigades of cavalry, numbering about four or five thousand, left the camp and rushed in different directions.

When the Zhenbei Army marched north, it was known as an army of 200,000, but in fact it was less than 150,000.

The Northern Expedition has been full-term, and the Zhenbei Army has killed many Northern Barbarians, and its own casualties are not small, and the 150,000-strong army is now only more than 100,000...... Cold weapon combat, the casualty rate of recruits is too high.

There are only about 100,000 left, and now more than 20,000 are scattered and ridden......

"Looks like it's going to get serious!"

Zhang Chu said secretly in his heart.

Previously, he forwarded Huo Hongye's siege strategy through Ji Ba, which was only a general direction, and there were still many links that needed to be perfected before it could evolve into a battle plan that could be executed by more than 100,000 troops.

This kind of meticulous work needs to be completed by veterans and senior staff, and it is not something that Zhang Chu can play in a wild way.

Now it seems that Huo Hongye is almost ready.

Tomorrow at the latest, he's going to do it!

Zhang Chu once again went through his siege strategy in his mind, and once again made sure that there would be no too fatal flaws in this style of play.

It's a stupid way to do it.

But it was the method used by the Northern Barbarians when he was in Jintianfu to resist the siege of the Northern Barbarian Army in the past.

......

After the morning eclipse, an abrupt sound of drums spread throughout the camp of the Zhenbei Army.

All the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army grabbed their weapons and helmets and rushed to the school yard to assemble.

Zhang Chu ignored the drumming, calmly sat in his tent, and continued to eat his breakfast.

Take a bite and "nourish" the oily big meat buns, and build them into a small mountain bun.

A few plates of refreshing side dishes with little oil are just right for this bright morning.

The millet porridge cooked slowly over low heat exudes the aroma of rice fat.

And his breakfast at home, no different.

The drums beat more and more urgently.

The small mountain buns made of large meat buns are also getting shorter at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang......"

Ji Ba rushed into Zhang Chu's camp tent with his helmet in his arms, and when he saw the breakfast on Zhang Chu's case, his eyes suddenly straightened.

With his identity and status, of course, he will not eat chaff with the big-headed soldiers below.

With his temperament, he doesn't disdain to do the superficial work of "sleeping and eating together".

But the big pot of rice made by Huotoujun can be compared with the home chef that Zhang Fu spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and the small stove opened by Zhang Chu?

Eating well and being satiety has always been two different things......

"Goo-dong".

Ji Ba swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in a low voice, "Why do you eat differently than ours?"

Zhang Chu sneered and asked, "I eat my own, why should I be the same as you?"

Ji Ba thought about it, and he was right.

The people and horses of the Taiping Society have prepared their own armor and grain and grass to help them, so why do they ask them to eat pig food together?

"It's not righteous!"

He first expressed his deep contempt for Zhang Chu's corrupt behavior of not being able to share weal and woe and eating alone.

Then he stepped forward, flipped over the pheasant feather golden helmet in his hand, grabbed a big bun and stuffed it into the helmet.

Zhang Chu looked at the big hand he grabbed on Bai Shengsheng's bun with five gray finger prints, and then looked at his helmet, and he lost his appetite.

He also did not hide his dislike, put down his chopsticks and scolded: "Do you dare to bury some more?

Ji Ba didn't answer.

It wasn't until he emptied all the meat buns on the desk that he grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his bloody mouth, and said vaguely: "It's time to go on the expedition." ”

Zhang Chu wordlessly picked up the red bronze tiger head on the desk and buckled it on the top of his head, got up and picked up the Cloud Shocking Knife from the weapon rack, "Let's go!"

He opened the tent, and Da Liu was already holding a cloak that was as red as blood, waiting outside the tent for a long time.

......

The shouts of killing at the east and west gates rose and fell like a tidal wave.

On the contrary, outside the south gate where the main force of the Zhenbei Army is located, there is only the sound of "tuk tuk" made by the arrow falling on the skin shield, and no sound of shouting and killing can be heard.

Zhang Chu and Ji Ba rode horses and stood out of the range of the Northern Barbarians' arrows, while the former army and the brothers of the Red Flower Hall were quietly lined up behind them.

In front of them, 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers of the rear army, holding a large skin shield in one hand to protect themselves, or carrying logs in the other, or pushing wheelbarrows loaded with sand and gravel, went back and forth between the rear army camp and the southern city wall.

Under the corner of the southern city wall, there was already a high platform three or four zhang wide.

Ji Ba looked at this scene in amazement and asked, "Lao Zhang, how did you say that your brain is long? So many of our brothers in the robe have been fighting around Jintian Mansion for a full month, why didn't anyone think of your method?"

Zhang Chu measured the speed of the high platform, estimated the time in his heart, and replied without thinking: "It's just a misunderstanding. “

"In the past, you defended, and the northern barbarians attacked. “

"Yongming Pass is the first Xiongguan in Kyushu, it is definitely not possible to capture it with this stupid method, the Northern Barbarians have been blocked by Yongming Pass for decades, and they have already ignored this trick subconsciously. ”

"The Northern Barbarians have never used this trick against you, attacking and defending in different positions, and you naturally can't think of a stupid way to use this trick. ”

"And this move is very restrictive, and it is not very applicable, I would think that this move can capture Jintianfu, just because our troops are more than three times that of the northern barbarians in Jintianfu, and they will die when they go out of the city to fight back, to resist the blockade, and to break through the siege. ”

"If the difference between the forces of the defending and besieging sides is not large, with this move, the defenders can open the city gate and attack, and this trick will naturally be useless. “

Ji Ba didn't understand, but that didn't prevent him from feeling that Zhang Chu was very powerful.

Siege of the city.

This is the stupid method that Zhang Chu came up with.

A stupid way to fit the situation at hand.

He was able to think of this method thanks to his experience in the defense of AllBright in the past.

In that war, he drove ducks to the shelves and learned to fight from scratch.

At that time, the 20,000 army of the Northern Barbarians attacked, and he only had 13,000 rabble under his command, and the gap between the two sides was extremely large.

The troops were already stretched, and he had to be on guard at all times against the three Qi Sea Heroes in the 20,000 Northern Barbarian Army to break through the city gate.

At that time, he proposed that he simply seal the four city gates with earth and stones, so as not to be caught by the northern barbarians and lose all his previous efforts.

Later, Jiao Shan, who was born in a Jiangmen family, told him euphemistically that the city gate in the siege war, in addition to the function of defense, also has the function of counterattack.

Once the city gate was sealed, AllBright completely lost the ability to fight back.

And a city that has lost the ability to fight back, there are countless ways for the besieging side to easily take the city.

For example, fire attack, water attack, tired soil into mountains, build wood into towers...... These methods are all negative examples that are common in the history of wars in the land of Kyushu.

Zhang Chu watched costume movies in his previous life, every time he saw a war scene, a large group of people outside the city gate carried a pile hammer and desperately hit the city gate, and a large group of people inside the city gate desperately supported the city gate, he felt very stupid, why didn't he use stones, sandbags and other things to seal the city gate?

It wasn't until that day that he understood the importance of the city gates in siege warfare.

But it was from that day onwards that this question had been pressed on his mind, lest the Northern Barbarians really use these tricks against him.

With the strength he had at hand at that time, he didn't have the ability to fight back at all, and he forcibly went out of the city to fight back, that is, he dragged the people of the whole city to the underworld together!

Hundred Cavalry Robbery Camp?

It was a sneak attack, but it could not be repeated.

Huo Hongye invited Zhang Chu to help in the war in a handwritten letter ago, mentioning that Zhang Chu had presided over the defense of Jintian Mansion, and he knew the flaws of Jintian Mansion better than them, and Zhang Chu had this idea vaguely in his heart at that time.

It wasn't until after the battle of the night attack on Jintian Mansion that he finally finalized this stupid solution.

Now it seems that the overall battle plan formulated by Huo Hongye is quite complete.

The soil is the mountain, and the main attack is the south city gate.

Outside the gates of the eastern, western, and northern cities, 10,000 troops were deployed to attack the city according to the normal offensive intensity, and forcibly disperse the strength of the northern barbarian defenders.

Around AllHeaven, there were a large number of sharpshooters who were swimming back and forth with strong bows, but anyone who flew out of AllHeaven, even a sparrow, would be shot down by them and left for dinner in the evening.

There are also the elite horsemen who left the camp of the Zhenbei Army before dawn, Zhang Chu guessed, either to make trouble everywhere to divert the attention of the Northern Barbarians, or to ambush in the north and wait for the Northern Barbarian defenders in the city to deliver the courier.

If there is no accident, he will be able to go back to the sycamore for dinner today......

......

The height of the castle is 15 zhang.

That's 33 meters, almost as tall as a building of more than 10 floors!

But it can't stand up to 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, transporting earth and stone back and forth to build mountains.

The rain of arrows on the head of the city lasted only a quarter of an hour or so before it stopped.

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army who transported the earth and rocks were afraid of death, so they used the skin shield as a hat, and the arrows fell on the skin shield, but they became the enemy.

Immediately after that, the Northern Barbarian defenders at the head of the city tried to roll the stone and wood.

But it was only a little temptation, and then I stopped again.

Because they found that when their rolling stones and sassalwoods fell, they did not kill a few, but instead helped the enemy to accumulate soil.

They had also tried the Fierce Fire Oil and the Golden Juice, but the lethality was even worse than that of the Rolling Stone and the Rolling Wood, and the sand and soil were just right to restrain the Fierce Fire Oil, so it couldn't be delayed for long at all.

The earthen bags outside the southern city gate are getting higher and higher at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

When the earthen bag was more than ten zhang high, Zhang Chu was keenly aware that the number of Northern Barbarian defenders on the city wall seemed to be rapidly decreasing......

It didn't take long for the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the west and east gates to suddenly move towards the north city.

The Northern Barbarian defenders in Jintian Mansion broke through......

Zhang Chu couldn't help but raise his head and looked fixedly at the Jintian Mansion under the autumn sun.

He felt unreal.

It went so well that it couldn't be true.

It's unreal!

Although he had expected this outcome.
