Chapter 444: Clever Tricks

Moon City.

Xu Er, Xu San, and Hu Kuan, the defender of Yuecheng, received the military report.

The general Tang Renshen personally led a large army to attack, and it was less than five miles away from Yuecheng.

The total number of enemy troops is about 240,000!

Bring countless siege engines!

The total number of defenders in Yuecheng was more than 50,000 people, of which only 800 belonged to the Wushuang Army led by the Xu family brothers.

The other 50,000 people were the imperial court defenders led by Hu Kuan.

In the face of this direction of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is an endless plain, and there is no natural danger to rely on.

The Long Wei army can drive to the foot of the moon city and launch an offensive.

"Once the main and secondary cities face the enemy's attack and there is no way to retreat, there is not much difference between them and the lonely city...... 50,000 against 240,000, we don't have the slightest advantage." Xu Sanpang said in a deep voice.

Today's Xu family brothers already have the demeanor of generals.

The generals of the Wushuang Army, although their brains are not normal, their IQs are all online when they fight.

"General Xu, the war hasn't started yet, so this will make others want to destroy their own prestige?"

Hu Kuan was not worried.

Although Moon City is a lonely city, fortunately, there are 50,000 troops in the city.

As a defender, he knows best that in an offensive and defensive battle, even if the attacker has a great advantage in troops, it is also the inferior side.

"You can give up the vice-city." Xu Sanpang said.

"Why did you give up the vice city?" Hu Kuan asked.

"The significance of the existence of the vice city is the triangular trend formed by the main and secondary cities and the surface of the Moon Lake, which can reinforce each other...... We don't have a water division, and we don't have the ability to fight on the surface at all, so the 10,000 people in the vice city can be transferred back. Otherwise, the ten thousand will be given for nothing." Xu Sanpang said.

"Three fat said

Yes, I also ask General Hu to order the transfer of 10,000 defenders from the deputy city." Xu Ershou said.

"As long as we can firmly hold the main city, the Longwei army will not be able to cross the Moon Lake and invade my Great Flame Territory." Xu Sanpang said.

Hu Kuan is a third-rank general, and the two captains of the Wushuang Army are only five-rank.

Although the Wushuang Army had a brilliant record, Hu Kuan had never heard of any record between these two people.

These two only joined the Musou Army last year, and they are obviously new recruits.

Although the vice-city is not as large as the main city, the geographical location is not so good.

But the two cities are on the line, even if there is no water master on the lake, the two cities cannot be lost.

Took the initiative to lose the vice city, how should I get it back then?

"There are 40,000 defenders in the main city, which is enough to deal with, and there is no need to transfer the defenders of the vice city back." Hu Kuan said.

"10,000 people less......" Xu Sanpang said in a deep voice.

"Forty thousand is enough! I want to see how strong the famous Long Wei Army really is!" Hu Kuan said in a deep voice.

"General Hu, can the defenders under your command obey the dispatch of the last general?" Xu Sanpang asked.

Hu Kuan smiled coldly.

He is the defender of Yuecheng, why should he obey the dispatch of a five-grade young general who has no record at all?

"The matter of Moon Shou City, I don't have to worry about the two of you. Stay in the city and see how you retreat." Hu Kuan said, with an unconcealed spirit on his body.

If you can defeat the Longwei army in one fell swoop and make meritorious contributions, it will not be a problem to leave a name for eternity.

At the mercy of others? It's a joke!

"How is General Hu going to fight?" Xu Sanpang asked again.

"How? The soldiers will block the water

Dirt cover!" Hu Kuan said disdainfully.

Outside the city.

Long Weijun is taking a break.

"Father! There are 40,000 defenders in the main city and 10,000 in the vice city! The defender of the main city is Hu Kuan!" Tang Jingze said towards Tang Renshen.

"Hu Kuan? Is that Yoro's arrogant straw bale? Hahaha, can he hold the attack of my Longwei army? Jing Ze, how do you say to fight?" Tang Renshen asked

Road.

"Divide the troops into two routes, attack the main and secondary cities at the same time, and fight quickly." Tang Jingze said.

"I don't think it's necessary, as long as the main city is defeated and Hu Kuan's head is cut, the 10,000 people in the vice city will surrender without a fight. If you divide your forces to attack the vice-city, won't you have to sacrifice more soldiers in vain?" Tang Renshen said.

"That's what my father said." Tang Jingze felt that a two-pronged approach was the best way.

But Hu Kuan is in the main city, if he can quickly break through the main city, the vice city will not be a problem.

What Tang Jingze thought was that as long as he could win Yicheng first, he would guard it.

He doesn't seek quick success, just a stable word.

"All the soldiers obey the order and attack the city!"

The 100,000 troops in the front row of the Long Wei Army pushed all kinds of siege equipment and attacked the Moon City.

Hu Kuan, who was standing on the city wall, held the hilt of the knife with one hand, looked at the row of divine arm crossbows on the city wall, and was full of confidence in his heart.

Meritorious service, right now!

As the Long Wei army advanced, Hu Kuan drew his battle knife.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Hu Kuan's ability is actually relatively modest.

In his opinion, the battle to defend the city was not too complicated, as long as the enemy forces besieging the city were repulsed.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with such an idea.

But the problem is that the combat effectiveness of his tens of thousands of defenders is far less strong than that of Long Wei's army.

Great Yan Dynasty

There is only one large army, and the second army with strong combat effectiveness is the Wushuang Army and the Zhao Family Army.

Long Weijun returned from a great defeat in Moon City last year, and a large part of the reason was that Su Xuan's luck was too good.

Hu Kuan felt that last year's 20,000 Wushuang army could wipe out 180,000 Longwei troops, and there were 40,000 defenders in the main city, so what was the problem in holding Yuecheng?

As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack, no matter how strong Long Weijun is, what can he do with him?

Under the charge of the shield soldiers in the front row, the speed of the Long Wei army's advance was quite fast.

A few waves of arrows rained down, but they couldn't suppress the attack of Long Wei's army at all.

Before the battle began, siege carts approached the walls.

"Three fat, what should I do?" Xu Ershou asked at Xu Sanpang.

Xu Sanpang couldn't dispatch the defenders in the city.

He made a rough estimate in his mind.

If such a conventional way of playing is followed, within two hours, the main city will be broken by the Longwei army.

After all, they were numerous, and there were many siege machines.

They have an overwhelming advantage in terms of equipment and numbers.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Longwei Army is very strong!

Hu Kuan is stupid, it is impossible to defend Yuecheng!

If he had the dispatching powers, he would have been able to hold the first round of siege.

It's a pity that Hu Kuan doesn't trust him and even looks down on him.

"I'm afraid the main city is going to be gone." Xu Sanpang said in a deep voice.

"We are 800 ......"

"Brother, didn't you say that the adults left you tips before leaving? Take it out and take a look!"

"If you don't say it, I'll forget!"

Xu Ershou hurriedly took out the first bag.
