Evening.

Zhang Zhihai looked at the wounded soldiers in the camp, listening to the lamentations one after another, and his heart was very upset.

This tentative siege came to an end and ended in a crushing defeat.

The elite of the imperial court and the bandits who had just been collected were all dispatched, and the number was neither more nor less, but it was a pity that no matter which way it was good, it was impossible to attack the city wall at all.

The division of labor among the soldiers under Li Wuchang is very clear.

The longbow team, they didn't do it casually, they picked a dense team to attack, and after one or two rounds of arrow raindown, with one after another screams, the dense team immediately became thin.

The smashing team, their targets are naturally those imperial soldiers who are climbing on the ladder, stones, boiling water, and even dung water, and they don't have a good life if they are hit.

There are also elite teams, similar to guards with knives, who attack hard ideas that climb the city wall after a lot of hardships and dangers, and once someone succeeds in climbing the wall, they will immediately rush over and beat them, and the trick is vicious and deadly.

There is nothing to say about the command staff and the transporters of supplies, the former observe the situation and give orders, and the latter just pull things up the walls.

Everything seems to be very orderly and seems to be in perfect order.

Since Zhang Zhihai was a tentative attack this time, there were not many personnel dispatched, so Li Wuchang also adopted a batch combat strategy, and when this team was tired, he would rest and let the other team take over.

Zhang Zhihai even saw Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun walking leisurely around the city wall, occasionally picking up a stone and throwing it down.

In this case, Zhang Zhihai's results in this battle were very poor, only consuming some of Li Wuchang's materials to defend the city, and also receiving merciless ridicule from the French commander's army.

There was a mess under the north wall of Fangling.

Corpses, blood, severed limbs, arrows, stones, dung, etc., were mixed together, and the smell was disgusting.

And Fangling City is still the same, and it looks immovable, which makes people outside the city feel desperate.

"General Zhang, it seems that the combat strength of the land thief's subordinates should not be underestimated!" the strategist came to Zhang Zhihai's side and sighed with emotion.

The tentative siege was proposed by him, mainly to see what level Li Wuchang's subordinates were, if the level was not good, then a large-scale attack could be considered.

Now, of course, it seems impossible.

Zhang Zhihai said: "The soldiers under Lu Xifa's command are not as good as our elite in terms of combat power, but they have quite a routine, and they also cooperate tacitly, it seems that Lu Xifa does have his own set." ”

After a pause, he sighed with emotion: "Alas, when Feng Yi suppressed bandits, he showed his edge!"

At that time, Li Wuchang was still an independent lieutenant, and the small team of several hundred people made it look good, and the individual combat power of the soldiers was not strong, but they were able to perform their duties when fighting, and they were extremely efficient.

"Tell me, what else can I try?"

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Zhihai asked again.

The strategist said in a deep voice: "Now that Fangling City is united, and there is no manpower in the city, even the people in the rivers and lakes who are fishing in troubled waters have also been wiped out, with our current conditions, it is obviously impossible to break the city from the inside." ”

This is a cliché, the strategist mentioned it again, Zhang Zhihai didn't understand what it meant, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

The strategist coughed lightly and asked cautiously, "General, my subordinates want to ask about the assassination of Lucifer's thief not long ago......"

Before Mu Tianfeng talked about the gossip about Li Wuchang's assassination, Zhang Zhihai directly said that it was true, and his tone was very positive, and at that time, the strategist felt that Zhang Zhihai must know the inside story.

When Zhang Zhihai heard this, he instantly understood.

I still want to make small moves.

Zhang Zhihai thought for a moment and replied truthfully: "I only know that it is the manpower of King Qi, between the nine seventh-rank peaks to the eighth-grade beginners, all of them are swordsmanship masters, but they are not at my disposal, and I don't even know the specific news of their actions." ”

After a pause, he whispered: "Don't spread the word, King Qi will be unhappy if he finds out." ”

The look and tone are very serious.

The strategist was stunned in his heart, and immediately nodded yes, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

Since there are so many masters lurking in the dark, why don't you cooperate with the siege army?

Even if they don't listen to Zhang Zhihai's dispatch, it's good to have an exchange.

Since that team of masters was able to retreat after assassinating Li Wuchang, in addition to their skills, they were always very clear about the specific situation of Fangling City.

Take it out and share it, maybe you can find some flaws.

Of course, Zhang Zhihai understood the strategist's doubts, and immediately explained: "King Qi has always done things like this, except for being responsible to His Majesty, there is no reason to take the initiative to cooperate with us...... Maybe he had other plans.

To be honest, I didn't know what the situation was with that team of killers, but King Jin carefully revealed it, saying that I should have a bottom in my heart, don't have any expectations, and don't spread the word. ”

The strategist had a gossip heart, and he really wanted to ask King Jin if he had offended King Qi, and he had to sneak out even if he had a piece of news.

After all, I still didn't ask.

"It seems that it is really impossible to plot from the inside!"

The strategist retracted his mind and said, "If you attack hard, the chances are not great...... Then we can only fight a war of attrition!"

Zhang Zhihai frowned: "War of attrition, does it consume Lu Xifa's materials for defending the city? This is not very feasible, you have also seen that Lu Xifa's chicken thief, let's just say that the archery team, they are a team of arrows that they are reluctant to waste, and they don't pay attention to the sparse team......

Stone? What is that thing worth?

Even if there are no stones, they still have boiling water, and you know the information that there are a lot of wells in the city, and after Lucifer took the city, he opened a lot, and he was planning to do a big job, even if it wasn't boiling water, a big bucket would fall down, and our soldiers would also suffer.

By the way, there is also fecal water, although the lethality is not large, but it is quite disgusting to be drenched all over the face, many people who escaped death have said that they would rather be hit by arrows than face dung water, and vomit a mess when climbing the wall......

Moreover, even if we run out of their garrison materials, I'm afraid we won't have much left, right?"

Hearing Zhang Zhihai's analysis, the strategist said slowly: "Of course the subordinates said by the general understand...... The subordinates mean to consume food with them, not to spend those siege materials to defend the city!"

Zhang Zhihai said: "That's a ...... Supplies, that's not big, is it?"

The strategist raised his eyebrows and said, "The general should have some thin noodles?...... We have recruited so many bandits, which is a great credit, and we just used this time to complete the team. ”

Zhang Zhihai was silent.

Of course, he is a little thin-faced, otherwise he would not be the main general this time.

But if you want to get something, it is also from Liangzhou, and Yongzhou and Jingzhou can't come out.

Call...... Call......

Suddenly, there was a cool breeze, which was refreshing.

Suddenly, there was a white space between heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

The deafening thunder caused a burst of exclamations.

It's going to rain.
