Chapter 198: Calling for help
It seems that the stalemate of the battle situation here made him decide to think of another way. It is obviously impossible to rely on manpower to strengthen the walls of the mountain villages.
As for entering the city from the dense forest on the side, he would not even consider it. Not to mention the dense forests on both sides, it is difficult to travel. Even if it can be traveled.
However, if the people in the mountain village find a place to ambush in the dense forest, they are afraid that they will not be enough to kill the people from the mountain village.
Even if all the remaining 8,000 people were filled, the final result might be the annihilation of the entire army.
Otherwise, he would have chosen to break into the dense forest from the beginning, and of course, he could also use fire to burn the dense forest.
But he didn't want to do it unless he had to, after all, burning down the dense forest might cause more fires, and if he didn't do it, he would destroy all the continuous dense forests.
I don't know how many wild beasts survive, and there are wild fruits among them. These are all foods. Zhang Tong was born in a poor family, so of course he knows that food is not easy.
He didn't want to do this thing that hurt heaven and reason, and hurt heaven and peace. Of course, even if he burns down the dense forest, he may not be able to capture the mountain village.
After all, there are not only dense forests on both sides of the village, but also dangerous areas. Even if there is no dense forest to block it, it is difficult to attack the mountain village from the mountains and forests on both sides.
It is better to find a way to shake the city defense of the backing village head-on. Now, Zhang Tong can only pin his hopes entirely on the fire thunder and the lightning thrower.
He issued an order to his subordinates to collect troops and recuperate, and now, he can only wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Otherwise, if you attack the backer village again, the loss may be even greater. He was not afraid that Jiang Chao would lead the people from the backing village to attack.
If Jiang Chao really did this, he couldn't ask for it, he believed that with the strength of his side, dealing with the more than 1,000 troops in the backing village would be as simple as pinching the ants to death.
When the army began to recuperate, Zhang Tong had tables and chairs brought in, and he sat down in front of his big tent, drinking and looking at the walls of the mountain village.
His expression seemed to be a lot calmer, as long as he brought in reinforcements, when the time came, it should not be difficult for Jiang Chao not to give Jiang Chao a chance to destroy the mine-throwing position and capture the mountain village.
Jiang Chao looked at Zhang Tong in front of the enemy's tent, and there was a strange look in his eyes. He didn't let his army out of the city.
Even if it is the best time to go out of the city now, and you can definitely kill these enemies, the army is afraid that you will pay a terrible price. It wasn't what he wanted.
Even if he wants to win, he must win, and it is better for the army to be free of any damage. The current army of children is the foundation of his family. You can't lose a single point.
In this way, Zhang Tong and Jiang Chao were drinking in front of the battle, and the other was looking at him coldly on the city wall.
On the other side, Dongli Eagle and 1,200 Yelang clan's children were hiding on both sides, and the middle position had been relinquished.
Looking at a few bandits on horseback, Dongli Ying didn't mean to stop him. They let the bandits out.
It's just that as the soldiers who asked for help from the bandit army were released, Dongli Ying's face became even more solemn. But he was quick to make an analysis.
"Hill, Akong...... You lead your troops on the right flank and wait until ...... And you, lead the team to wait on the left. Zhang Tong should have sent someone to Anqing County to ask for help. It is currently the closest location to Anning County. And between Anqing and Anning, even if it is a rapid march, it will take at least six hours. When Zhang Tong's reinforcements arrived, it should be midnight. ”
"At present, what we can do is to eliminate Zhang Tong here before midnight, and then go to fight the reinforcements. Best...... It is to annex them all together. ”
Dongli Ying explained his strategic intentions to several of his companions. Several people listened and nodded.
Everyone has a lot of trust in Dongli Ying's ability, and in addition, Dongli Ying is Jiang Chao's designated chief of staff. Now he is also the supreme governor. Of course they follow orders.
After nearly two months of military training, they have instinctively memorized the words "obey orders" and obey commands.
"Brother Eagle, what should we do next...... Six hours is a long time. During this time, will there be any changes! Dongli Mountain looked at Dongli Eagle and asked.
"Whatever happens, we respond to all changes, and now, we have to wait for nightfall. That's when the best time for us to make a move. ”
Dongli Eagle looked at Dongli Mountain and said with a cautious expression.
He has his own tactics, and of course he has to tell everyone about it, even if it is forbidden. It is enough for everyone else to obey orders.
However, the clear strategic intention must be known to everyone, otherwise, there will definitely be some confusion.
Dongli Ying's words made the others nod, their current state, the best thing to do is to wait for night to fall.
As long as they rush into the enemy formation and cause chaos, Jiang Chao in the mountain village will take advantage of the chaos to kill. The entire bandit army is afraid that there will be no power to return to heaven.
But the question is, in the dark of night, whether they will have a chance to carry out a sneak attack. After all, the more this time, the more you want to sneak attack, the harder it will be.
But no matter what, the East Departure Eagle will create opportunities.
Time passed little by little, Jiang Chao looked at Zhang Tong below on the city wall, and he also beckoned Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xiaocao, Song Ningxue, Murong Zhiqing and others to eat.
Of course, wine is also indispensable, Jiang Chao especially raised his glass to the enemy tent under the city wall, and the corners of his mouth hung a hint of mockery.
His expression made the bandit army in front of the city wall itch with anger, but none of the bandits dared to attack the city wall. Because of the grenade, they are already timid.
Zhang Tong's face was also extremely gloomy, but soon, the corners of Zhang Tong's mouth showed a hint of disdain, and there was a hint of mockery.
When he waited for reinforcements, Jiang Chao and the others on the city wall would only have a dead end, and he would have to see what Jiang Chao was still in the mood to smile and be proud.
And just like that, it slowly got dark. Looking at the already dark sky, Zhang Tong asked everyone to turn on the lights in the barracks.
"Order, all the armies will rest in batches, and the patrols around me will send me more manpower, and I must not be careless tonight. When reinforcements arrived, we were ready to attack the city and take them by surprise. ”
Zhang Tong gave orders to his subordinates. And he himself looked at the lights that were also lit on the city wall, as well as Jiang Chao and others under the lights.
The corners of his mouth slowly hooked a hint of ridicule, Jiang Chao did not move, but it surprised him. He couldn't figure out what kind of courage Jiang Chao had to be as calm as he was now.
Didn't that kid know that he was going to move reinforcements? As soon as the reinforcements arrived, it was the death period of the whole of them, who did this kid show so calm? !
