Chapter 1128 Indispensable Sacrifice
The scouts had sent a message to Grandpa Guo that they should be halfway back to the base camp when they encountered the food delivery team.
It's just that, in this way, 5,000 soldiers rushed back and forth for thousands of miles, filled trenches for more than ten days, and dug tunnels for more than ten days, but they returned in vain.
Siege is a bit risky, but it's not impossible to try.
Sixteen-year-old Jiang Che finally made a decision at this moment, attacking the city!
He immediately summoned the centurions and thousand-commanders in the army to discuss the matter.
Jiang Che didn't hide the slightest hint of the matter of making up the problem, and then said his decision, "Siege!" ”
And to take this city as quickly as possible, only in this way can the problem of grain and grass be solved.
You can't wait for the real food to run out before attacking the city, and the soldiers don't even have the strength to fight.
None of the generals objected to Jiang Che's decision.
They had been following Jiang Che for almost a year, and in this year, they had fought big and small battles with this young man, and each time they had won the greatest victory with the smallest casualties.
Despite his young age, every decision he made proved to be the right one.
What else to say, naturally, is what he says and they do it.
Soon, Jiang Che and his generals formulated a detailed siege plan.
Early the next morning, the soldiers buried their pots and cooked rice.
Jiang Che did not withhold any more rations, and sent all the little rations left in the camp.
And the soldiers were asked to make the rest of the rations into dry food and carry them with them after breakfast, and they were about to attack the city.
The Jin soldiers at the head of the city shot arrows while watching the Great Chu army below continue to dig the earth on the side of the moat.
The intention of the Great Chu army was obvious, to dig loose foundations, collapse the city walls, and take the opportunity to attack the city.
The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom knew this, and there was no other way than to use the rain of arrows to roll wood and stones against the soldiers of Da Chu, so they could only watch them dig tunnels every day.
Many soldiers knew in their hearts that after two years of war, most of the land of the Great Jin Dynasty had been lost, and it was only a matter of time before Hecheng was broken.
But as long as the city is not broken, they will hold on to it for a day.
Maybe there will be reinforcements on Huining's side, but if people live, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
The Jin army on the city wall did not find that the tunnels dug by the Dachu soldiers today were different from the past, and there were no loads of soil that were sent out at all.
Jiang Che did not let the soldiers dig up the earth, but planted explosives under a small section of the wall that had been hollowed out.
The reason why they chose to plant explosives in the tunnels instead of blowing up the city gates was because the soldiers had already discovered that the four gates of Crane City had all been blocked by large and small stones.
It's fried and fried.
And whether the explosives in Jiang Che's hand were enough to blow up the foundation under the city wall and cause the city wall to collapse, he could only gamble.
Several explosive packs were grouped together and placed at the end of the tunnel.
This is already all the inventory in Jiang Che's hands.
The explosives were placed, and everyone withdrew from the tunnels, leaving only the last soldier who lit the fuse.
Even if the fuse of this explosive is long enough, as the person who stayed to light the fuse, there is basically no return.
The soldier who dotted the lead was called Wang Er, and when Jiang Che chose the dead soldier with some explosives this morning, he stood up himself.
He was originally a native of Dingjing, but when Dingjing City was broken, his mother jumped into a well after being abused by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and then his father was taken captive to the Jin Kingdom as labor.
He was only six years old at the time, and after surviving, he moved to Xiangcheng and signed up for the army.
