"Keep digging!"

"Quick!"

The wind blew harder, the rain fell heavier and heavier, and lightning streaked across the sky, dancing like a golden snake.

There was a thunderclap of "boom", which shook the ground and shook the mountains.

At this time, the soldiers of the coalition army who originally attacked Jiangcheng had already done the work of the people, and they were digging fortifications outside the city with hoes and shovels.

Excavation of earthworks?

Precisely!

This was ordered by the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Qingji.

Although, whether it was the coalition soldiers outside the city or the Jin army inside the city, they couldn't guess Qingji's intentions......

Braving the pouring rain, the soldiers of the coalition army dug fortifications day and night, digging holes in the land outside the city, and then piling up mountains of dirt one after another.

"Damn, are these dog thieves stunned?"

At the head of the city, the Jin soldiers who were hiding under the shield to avoid the rain looked up and saw that the enemy was still digging the land, and they were very puzzled.

"Hmph, in vain."

Jin Bing, who was sitting on the side, sneered and said, "What's the use of digging soil? Could it be that the enemy army is still trying to dig up the walls of our Jiangdu? ”

"Hey! I can't tell! ”

Another Jin sergeant said: "It is said that last night Wu Manzi dug a few tunnels and tried to sneak into the city, but fortunately he was discovered in time by the patrolling soldiers, otherwise it would have ...... The consequences are really unimaginable! ”

Thinking of last night's tunnel battle, the Jin army soldiers present were all in their hearts.

Tunnel warfare, this is already the well-known method of the Wu army.

Could it be that Qingji still expects that he can conquer Jiangcheng using tunnel warfare?

It's just wishful thinking!

Zhisong is a general who is familiar with military books and has also led troops in battle, how can he not understand this "despicable" tactics of the Wu army?

At this time, on the edge of the earth mountain, Qingji personally supervised the excavation of the earth mountain and the ditch.

Gongzixi is holding an umbrella to shelter from the wind and rain for Qingji.

treats his father Wang Qingji, Gongzixi is still very filial.

It is worth mentioning that this umbrella was also invented by Qingji.

It's not very technical, but it's practical......

Legend has it that Lu Ban's wife was also an excellent craftsman.

One day, Lu Ban's wife Yun Shi took pity on her husband for working under the wind and rain and scorching sun, and saw that the pavilion could shelter from the rain and shade, so she came up with an activity pavilion for Lu Ban to take with him, which was to make an umbrella.

Whether it's true or not, I don't know.

"Father, the son is puzzled. What did my father do when he ordered his soldiers to dig trenches and pile up mountains of earth? ”

Gongzixi asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Qingji glanced at Gongzi Xi, and then smiled slightly: "Xi'er, have you read Sun Wu's "The Art of War" by Sun Wu?" ”

"Read."

Gongzixi nodded and said, "The national lieutenant is worthy of a generation of famous generals and a genius of the world." With only one copy of "The Art of War", the national lieutenant can be ranked among the famous generals, which can be called the first person in the past and present......"

It's no wonder that Gongzi Xi would praise Sun Wu like this.

Sun Wu is known as the "Most Holy Soldier" in history.

Who is there to mention 100,000 people and there is nothing in the world? Said Huan Gongye.

Who is there to mention 70,000 people and there is no one in the world? Said Wu Qiye.

Who is there to mention 30,000 people and there is nothing in the world? Said Wuzi also.

It can be seen that Sun Wu's historical status is high!

Sun Wu's writings in his life are mainly thirteen articles on the art of war, called "The Art of War", with a total of more than 5,000 words.

The book is divided into calculations, operations, plots, shapes, potentials, virtual and real, military battles, nine changes, marches, terrain, nine places, fire attacks, and use.

In addition to this, Sun Wu also has some writings on the art of war.

There are not many people who have actually read "The Art of War".

In addition to Qingji, only those who are recognized by Sun Wu are eligible to read "The Art of War", and Gongzixi is obviously one of them.

"Then you should know this sentence - all those who fight, with the right match, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers. ”

Qingji looked at Gongzixi meaningfully.

Gongzi Xi really understood everything, and suddenly realized: "Father is saying...... Surprise wins? ”

"Yes, yes."

Qingji bowed his head slightly and said: "Xi'er, the widow knows that you are familiar with battle strategies on weekdays, and often study by Sun Wu's side, however, there is one thing you must remember." ”

"It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it! ”

"The art of war can be read by heart, but it cannot be memorized, and it is necessary to know how to adapt to changes and adapt measures to local conditions."

After a pause, Qingji pointed to a nearby dirt mountain, and said slowly: "What is the meaning of the widow ordering people to dig trenches and pile up dirt mountains?" ”

"Jiangcheng is strong, and the strong attack has caused heavy casualties, which is time-consuming and laborious. So it has to be outwitted. ”

"The Jin people stuck to Jiangcheng and occupied it for the sake of geographical advantage. Husbands and fighters are indispensable in terms of time, place, and people. ”

"However, in the eyes of the widows, the time is not as good as the place, and the location is not as good as the people."

"Jiangcheng, the city is high and the pool is deep, how can the Jin army's 'geographical advantage' be broken? Only by turning the passive into the active, so that the location is mine! ”

Hearing this, Gongzixi scratched his head with some doubts and asked, "Father, my son is puzzled, how can this location be owned by me?" Could it be that the mystery lies in the earth mountain? ”

"Yes, yes."

Qingji glanced at Gongzixi appreciatively, and said: "My Wu army has a crossbow machine and a bed crossbow, and the Jin army also has a crossbow machine and a bed crossbow, but the Jin people imitate the crossbow of my Wu country, and the range is not as good." ”

"If our coalition army can rely on the soil and mountains as a geographical advantage, condescending, and shoot the division, can Jiangcheng not be broken?"

As soon as he heard this, Gongzi Xi suddenly said: "Father is smart! ”

Is it smart?

Qingji just laughed it off.

In the final analysis, Qingji is just standing on the shoulders of giants and looking ahead.

It is not difficult to deal with Qingji's tactics, as long as the Jin army in the city sends elite troops to attack, it is not impossible to stop the progress of the coalition army digging trenches and piling up dirt mountains.

It's just, can the Jin people think of this?

You know, Qingji is the first person to eat crabs!

In this way, for several days, the coalition forces did not launch an attack on Jiangcheng, but continued to dig trenches, pile up mountains of earth, and gradually approached the walls of Jiangdu.

In this case, the defenders of the city finally realized that something was wrong.

But, it's too late!

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Put!"

After the rain passed, Qingji finally gave the order to attack.

On the top of the earth mountain, the bed crossbows of the Wu army were lined up, aiming at the head of the city of Jiangcheng, and the Jin soldiers who were waiting for them.

With Qingji's order, countless huge crossbow arrows pierced the sky and shot at the Jin soldiers on the opposite side.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

The crossbow arrows fired from the bed crossbow were so powerful that they could instantly penetrate a sturdy shield and pierce the chest of a Jin soldier.

Even, under the surprise of the Jin soldiers, a crossbow arrow with extremely penetrating power was directly like a skewer of grilled fish and shrimp, and it shot two or three Jin soldiers hard......
