Chapter 348, Attack Jianzhou
"General Hui, my father could have 20,000 when he led the army, but now it is estimated that it should be less than 20,000. Nuhaqi said.
"How is it possible? With only 20,000 horses, there is such combat power!" Li Shixun said suspiciously.
"General Li, we are working hard to attack far away, and they are waiting for work, which is not good for us, not to mention that Jianzhou City has added back defense in the past to prevent the invasion of Yiren, and we will definitely have huge losses if we attack hard. Shangguan Feixue said on the side.
"I'm afraid Mr. Shangguan's words are a bit biased. Li Shixun heard what Shangguan Feixue said, and immediately retorted: "There are clouds in the book of soldiers: soldiers are fast. If we don't take the city in one go, when the soldiers lose this morale, I am afraid that not only will we not take the city, but I am afraid that we will end up with a complete defeat. ”
Hearing Li Shixun say this, Shangguan Feixue shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Having said that, but ....."
Before Shangguan Feixue could say half of his words, he was interrupted by Li Shixun waving his hand.
"Needless to say. The manager here is a general, so I have a reason for what to do. ”
Seeing that Li Shixun was so stubborn and self-serving, Shangguan Feixue rolled his eyes angrily, and wanted to argue again, but was stopped by Nuhaqi.
"General Li said again. But can we think of any way to reduce the losses of the siege team? ”
Listening to Nuhaqi's words, Li Shixun nodded.
"What you say is true. If you have any ideas, you can tell us. ”
When Li Shixun said this, Nuhaqi didn't know what to say, because at this time, the two armies were in full swing, and he didn't have any good solutions.
Seeing that Nuhaqi was speechless, Li Shixun sneered a few times, and his expression was full of disdain.
"Pass my order, and whoever enters the city first will be promoted to one level and rewarded with ten taels of silver. Li Shixun didn't pay any more attention to Nuhaqi and gave another order to the team.
Perhaps because of the role of the officials, the besieging soldiers under Li Shixun became even more desperate after learning the news.
For a while, the war drums shook the sky, and the shouts of killing were endless, but no one rushed into Jianzhou City.
"Pass my order again, the traitor would rather be stubborn, and if the soldiers of our army kill one person, they will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Seeing that the team could not capture the city for a long time, Li Shixun gave an order again.
Shangguan Feixue watched the soldiers of the two armies attacking and defending each other in front of the city wall, and the most harmful thing to the soldiers besieging the city was the oil poured on the city wall, and he couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, turned to Li Shixun and said, "General Li, I have a way that I may try." ”
"What a way. Li Shixun asked Shangguan Feixue impatiently.
At this time, although Shangguan Feixue was very disgusted with Li Shixun's character, but in the face of the great enemy, he had to put aside his prejudices, and said: "The enemy defenders are now attacking our siege soldiers by pouring oil and setting fire, presumably they must have barrels and cans full of oil on the city wall now, and we can set fire to their city walls, so that they will definitely not attack and chaos, and then we will attack the city again, which can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort." ”
Hearing Shangguan Feixue say this, Li Shixun's eyes lit up, but he immediately showed his original cold demeanor again.
"What Your Excellency said is wonderful, but the enemy's city wall is so high and well defended that our soldiers can't get close at all, so what kind of fire attack can we talk about? Your Excellency can't help but be a little whimsical!"
"General, it's not easy to send people to attack the city, but if you want to put fire on the city walls, I don't think it's a difficult task. Shangguan Feixue couldn't help but sneer a few times when she heard Li Shixun say this, and said.
When Li Shixun saw Shangguan Feixue say this, he looked at him with puzzlement, and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"I see that there is a high ground on the periphery, not far from this city, we can make some flying wings, and send some soldiers to bring fire, and fly to the wall of Jianzhou by the slope, and then we can throw the fire downward, then the city wall will be in chaos, and I can also take advantage of the chaos to attack. ”
"Feiyi?, Your Excellency will do it?" asked Li Shixun to Shangguan Feixue.
"I've seen how to make this thing in an old book, but fortunately I remember it. All you need to do is send some soldiers and prepare some bamboo sticks and cloth and stuff. Shangguan Feixue said to Li Shixun.
"It's simple, marching and fighting, camping, these are the things we don't lack the most. Li Shixun said with a smile.
......
Li Shixun did not embarrass Shangguan Feixue this time, but instead sent him nearly a hundred soldiers to make this kind of flying wing.
Although Shangguan Feixue was making flying wings here, Li Shixun did not stop the team's siege battle, he was preparing with both hands. One is to fight people and capture Jianzhou City, on the other hand, he also wants to give the rebels in Jianzhou City a hard way.
After the production of the flying wings was completed, Li Shixun sent a hundred nimble soldiers to Shangguan Feixue for a short training according to the method described by Shangguan Feixue.
When everything was ready, Lee Se-hoon ordered a moratorium on the siege.
Seeing that the siege had stopped, the rebels in Jianzhou City immediately began to replenish the materials, and barrels of fuel were carried onto the city wall again.
Suddenly, one of the soldiers shouted to the others, "Look, what's that?"
Everyone looked up and saw dozens of huge "kites" flying towards the city wall.
"Flying kite, why did this Ming army release the flying kite at this time?" someone said puzzled.
"Not like that. You see, there seems to be someone up there. The sharp-eyed man pointed to the "big kites" and shouted to the crowd.
"Not good. It's enemy troops. Everyone is ready to meet the enemy. The officer defending the city shouted to his soldiers.
.....
These "big kites" that flew to Jianzhou City were the arsonists led by Shangguan Feixue.
Near the sky above the city wall, Shangguan Feixue and the two people who were riding together took the lead in throwing the lit oil bottle down.
As the bottle fell and exploded, a fire broke out inside the Jianzhou city wall.
One, two, three...... More and more oil bottles fell, and the sound of explosions slowly appeared in the city walls and on the top of the city walls. The explosion was louder, and then the explosion was louder, and then the explosion, and then the fire......
Not long after, the city walls of Jianzhou City and the vicinity of the inner city were already in a sea of fire.
"Siege the city! Kill the rebels and get a reward. Lee Se-hoon gave the order to the team again.
After a fight, Li Shixun's team finally attacked the city.
Because Li Shixun gave the order to kill the rebels and get a reward, the soldiers who attacked the city began to wantonly slaughter the soldiers and civilians in the city, and no one cared about who was innocent and who deserved it.
The counterinsurgency turned into a massacre.
Finding that the development of the situation was uncontrollable, Shangguan Feixue and others were shocked and hurriedly advised Li Shixun.
