I thought that with the advantage of numbers, I would make a strong push, even if I was stubbornly resisted and could not be won for the time being, but it would not come to this point.

It's only been a long time, and the army that divided the troops into five ways to fight the five cities actually stagnated, and was caught off guard.

The Fifth Route Army could only temporarily retreat almost at the same time, and after collecting some men and horses, it was liquidated, and in a quarter of an hour, the casualties amounted to 2,000.

This somewhat made the faces of the five priests unbearable, which was not even the first battle, and there were two thousand casualties at once.

have reached half of Su Qi'an's soldiers and horses, isn't this from a certain aspect, indicating that they are too wasteful?

If this breath can't be returned, how can they lead their natives, and their prestige will be greatly reduced.

The five men looked at each other, ready to regroup their men and horses and launch a new round of attacks, but before their orders could be given, the orders of the senator priests came.

Let them attack temporarily.

This order came a bit abruptly, which made the five people a little unacceptable, although they could not compare with some experienced Liangren generals in leading troops to fight.

But the five of them have been dealing with the Liang people all the year round, and the Liang people have a saying, they agree very much, they should fight in one go, and retreat halfway, that is, they will decline again, and they will be exhausted.

If they really stop, it's bad for their morale.

They didn't understand why the two elders gave such an order at a critical moment, and without hesitation, they rode straight to the position of the patriarch priest in the rear.

The distance between the two sides was not far, and at their speed, it would only be a matter of time, until they arrived at the location where the two elders had set up camp.

The two elders sitting on the sedan bed seemed to have been waiting for a few people to arrive, and as soon as they came up, without waiting for the five people to speak, the two elders said, "I know what you want to ask, you said that you can't be careless when dealing with this cool man, but you don't listen, and there are many people under you, so you really think that this expedition is an easy task."

"The original three priests and the Qingcheng county guard also thought so, but what was their result in the end? A good hand of cards was played to a pulp, and in the end it was killed."

"Let you stop for a while, it will only be good for you, and what you lack now is not the so-called one go, but a stable heart."

"I ask you, what did you find out about the two thousand casualties in the fight just now?"

The words of the two elders suddenly stunned the five people who were still a little dissatisfied just now.

The five of them stood in place in a daze, a little at a loss, and the two elders sighed and waved their palms.

Soon, two natives walked from either side, holding in their hands a huge parchment scroll, which stood up to the height of a man.

The two natives slowly opened the parchment scroll, which was more than a foot long, a map, more precisely a map of the territory of the three priests.

It should not take more than a month to see the drawing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the latest map, and the location of the five cities above is clearly marked.

In addition to the location, all kinds of terrain are drawn in detail, and these are not the ones that pay the most attention to them.

On the map, the arrow towers and fortresses of each city are clearly drawn.

These things are the biggest obstacles that prevent them from stepping into the territory of the three priests, and they are also an important reason for the huge casualties.

The eyes of the five people were attracted by the map in front of them, if there was such a detailed map before the siege, I am afraid that the casualties would not be so large.

"Liang people have a saying, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, you don't even know how many men and horses your opponent has arranged, how many arrow towers and pillboxes have been built, you don't even know."

"Do you really think that the one surnamed Su has occupied the territory of the three priests and is waiting for you to take it?"

"This patriarch sent troops this time, but he made sufficient preparations, and before sending troops, he sent people to reconnoiter in advance and draw a new map."

"This Liangren Marquis, it's not as simple as you think, after occupying the territory of the three priests, in addition to abolishing the so-called slavery, it is the first time to reconstruct and divide the territory of the three priests, and in each dangerous place, build a large number of dark castles, and build a big Liang Arrow Tower in a flat place."

"What does this mean? say

The Ming family has long been ready to fight at any time, but you guys? If it weren't for the patriarch to stop your actions, I am afraid that there would have been more than two thousand casualties in the future."

"The death of the third priest in his hands, there is nothing to talk about, let's take a look, with the many fortresses and arrow towers under you, what are your chances of taking it? If you want to die, you can go, and this patriarch will not stop you."

The words of the two elders made the five of them silent for a while, although they were unwilling, but they looked at the dense arrow towers and dark forts in front of them, and they occupied the most favorable terrain.

always said that even if they could take it, the casualties would be not small, and it would not be a waste for the five people to sit in the position of priests, and he said respectfully to the two elders.

"Please also ask the two elders for advice."

The two elders nodded, this is the result he wanted to see when he went on the expedition, he led eight priests, but they were not used to each other, and they usually fought with friction.

This time, I brought the five of them out, on the one hand, to get back the territory belonging to the priest, and more importantly, I hope that the few people can be reconciled.

Even if this kind of harmony is temporary, in such a major event as a war, it is necessary to unify command, and if they are like them, each with their own ideas, no matter how many people they have, they will be broken one by one.

The 2,000 dead and wounded this time can be regarded as a lesson for several people.

The two elders said, "The five of you will gather all the troops, and start from City No. 1, divide them into multiple batches, and pull out the five cities one by one to this elder."

The tactics of the two elders have some meaning of wheel warfare, but at the moment, only wheel warfare is the most suitable.

They brought too many people and horses, and if they were all together, they wouldn't be able to spread them out at all.

A swarm of swarms, just like before, once in an ambush, a dilemma, if there is a surprise attack on both sides, it is a target to escape.

If you follow the wheel tactics, even if there are more arrow towers and pillboxes on the other side, people always have to rest, and the advantage of their large number of people will be revealed.

It becomes a real consumption and consumes them.

The eyes of the five people flashed, and their faces were a little happy, and then the two elders said again.

"If you want to achieve the maximum effect of wheel warfare, remember, put away the best equipment and weapons, and hand them all over to the front-line army, and the reserves in the rear must be covered."

"Our equipment and weapons are not as good as the opponent's Liang soldiers, but we must give full play to our advantages, send a number of small troops, harass from both sides, and even if we can't break through in the end, we must put continuous pressure on the other side."

"The opponent's strength is far inferior to ours, even if the casualties are larger, but it must be effective, and in the end, this patriarch hopes that you can unite as one, don't fight separately, put your little mood in good shape, and wait until you take the five trumpet cities."

"This patriarch's ugly words are ahead, who dares to make small moves behind his back and affect the overall situation, don't blame this patriarch for being ruthless."

The five of them were stunned and nodded heavily, the power of the patriarch, they were still more afraid.

The five men who received the order immediately turned and left, returning to their respective groups.

If Su Qi'an is here, he will definitely have a high opinion of the so-called elders, although this tactic is not very clever, but it is very practical, and it is absolutely useful for the current situation.

Any tactic, including the most disliked tactic, can also work well if used correctly.

This dual-elder still knows how to use tactics to some extent.

With the orders of the two elders, the men and horses of the five men were quickly assembled, and according to the action, the number of men in each sortie was only two thousand. Look at the book

First, there are 2,000 people, which is enough to put pressure on the other side, and second, there are not many people, even if they are attacked, they can quickly counterattack and even retreat.

The front-line troops of this sortie are all equipped with the best weapons and equipment, everyone is wearing armor and holding maces, and in the reserve in the rear, there will be rounds of arrows from time to time to cover.

At the same time, under the cliffs on both sides, a large number of climbing experts, in the form of small teams, struggled to climb upward.

Although it was quickly discovered, it also contained a part of the troops and shared part of the pressure on the front-line siege troops.

This specialization is one

The tactics of the department obviously worked, even if the frontal troops suffered heavy casualties, but there were a large number of reserves in the rear.

Every time about a third of the casualties were inflicted, they were immediately withdrawn and replaced with a reserve.

As the two elders said, no matter how many arrow towers and dark castles there are, there will always be a time when people and arrows will be consumed.

After changing the reserve team for five rounds, the offensive of the three regiments weakened significantly, and taking advantage of this gap, the siege team of the sixth round finally approached the arrow tower of the city wall.

Losing the advantage of distance, it only took about a quarter of an hour for the wall of the arrow tower to be destroyed.

Chen Zhi took over the territory of the three priests, and it was only a month to be full, and in the time of January, the quality of the arrow towers and city walls built can be imagined.

Jiaozhou is not as good as other states, the city wall is thick and solid, and it is not easy for Chen to be able to fortify the territory of the three priests layer by layer in a month.

Whoever puts the three priests in power will only loot and oppress the local natives, except for the third city in the center, which is slightly better, with a few strong arrow towers, and other places, it will just fool the local natives.

If he really encounters the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops at the moment, his layers of defenses will be broken sooner or later.

After two quarters of an hour of continuous resistance, Chen Zhi gave the order to abandon City No. 1 and retreat to City No. 2.

The capture of City No. 1 gave considerable confidence to the five priests, who immediately gave the order to pursue the victory.

The tactics of the two elders concentrating their forces and storming one place are right, as long as they can pull out the city everywhere and expand the territory of the third city, they can do the army to push strongly, without worrying about being ambushed on both sides.

At that point, the situation on both sides will be truly reversed.

The five priests forced their hearts to rejoice, calmly ordered, and continued the onslaught, now is not the time to rejoice.

Through the previous two battles, they can probably estimate that there are about 3,000 Liang soldiers in the territory of the three priests.

More than half of the troops and their hard bars, and the remaining 2,000 troops either stayed in the third layer, or planned to make a surprise attack when they attacked.

Having learned from the past, the five priests had already sent an early warning force when the front-line troops attacked, and if there was any abnormal movement, they would immediately withdraw their troops.

They may not be able to fight a war, but if they have suffered a loss once, how can they go to the second time.
