I’m The King Chapter 472: ：Siege strategy

In the middle of Jingza Tanfeng's big tent, there is a huge clay model, which was made by Hu Yanchao himself. He has been working on this matter since he arrived at Jishi City. Today, finally When you're done, this is completely a Jishi City that has been shrunk countless times. When they found out that Hu Yanchao still has this skill, Zhang Junbao, Zhang Zhuo and others couldn't help being amazed and flattering.呵勽児

Hu Yanchao was too lazy to talk to him. Tan Feng had an extremely in-depth conversation with him. The purpose was to win over this general who grew up step by step from a young soldier. A true professional soldier would look down on a guy like Zhang Junbao who would do anything for power and position, even killing his father and brother, but now that everyone is sitting in the same boat and not speaking ill at each other, it is his patience. limit.

And with his current status, it is true that there is no need to pretend to Zhang Junbao, only Zhang Junbao is here to curry favor with him.

Seeing Hu Yanchao looking straight and ignoring him, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but feel extremely annoyed, flattering his horse's feet, hot face on cold ass, that feeling is naturally uncomfortable. But now almost all the generals of Yan State's standing army have followed Zhou Yuan to Donghu. Seeing Tan Feng's enthusiasm for Hu Yanchao, I am afraid that this guy will be used soon. Although he is annoyed, Zhang Junbao still has to pile up. Put on a smiling face, not daring to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. The Liaoxi County Army has been completely abolished, and it will take time to rebuild it. It would be unwise to offend such a leading general.

Hu Yanchao was not in the mood to think about Zhang Junbao's current mood. Looking at the model of Jishi City, his brows were deeply frowned, and the word Sichuan seemed so conspicuous.

"General Hu!" Tan Feng said softly, "It's hard?"

Tan Feng was born as a cavalryman, and his strengths are breaking attacks and field battles, but such tough battles. He is really not good at it, otherwise he would not have handed over the command to Hu Yanchao immediately after Hu Yanchao arrived.呵勽児

"Commander Tan, this is the first time I've seen a city like this, and I didn't think it was anything before, but after I made this model, I felt a chill in my heart. Arrive!" Hu Yanchao sighed.

Tan Feng's face changed, "Even General Hu is not sure about taking it down?"

"It's not like that!" Hu Yanchao shook his head. "If there are 10,000 well-trained elite soldiers defending the city, my suggestion is to defend the city from abandoning the siege, either withdrawing troops, or besieged for a long time."

"This is impossible!" Tan Feng's face changed, "It is impossible to withdraw troops, and a long-term siege is not realistic. It is impossible to have 10,000 soldiers in the city. Where is Gao Yuan's strength? Seven thousand. This is almost all of his troops. Even if there are troops left behind in the city, they are not many, and most of them are young and strong recruited temporarily. There must not be many elite soldiers like those on Jishi Mountain. "

"This is also our only chance!" Hu Yanchao nodded, "There are not many elite soldiers, and young and strong are entering the battle for the first time. Whether it is courage, will, or fighting skills, they cannot be compared with the standing army. If it is not like this , we don’t have to try at all.”

"Is this city so difficult to attack?" Tan Feng looked at the model of the city in front of him.

"Look, general, this is the first hurdle we have to pass, the moat!" Hu Yanchao raised his saber and drew a mark around the model, "Filling up this moat is the first thing we have to do , but there are so many long-range weapons in the city, beyond my expectation, this is probably the biggest casualty we will encounter.”

"Langya County sent 10,000 craftsmen! There are a lot of familiar ordnance craftsmen here!" Tan Feng gritted his teeth and let out a cold breath. "The water in this moat comes from Jishi Lake. It is running water. I have sent people to find the water outlet. When the general attacks the city, the water outlet will be blocked. Because of the terrain, the water in the moat will dry up. Bah. I want to fill up the moat. I think we can use the catapult to launch straw bags, and then push the Mengchong vehicles, ramming vehicles and other large equipment directly into the river during the siege, which should speed up the speed of filling the river. , reduce casualties!"

"Commander, this is a good idea!" Hu Yanchao applauded with high fives. "Then, the first problem is solved, and the second problem is the **** under the city foundation. The ingenious design of this **** makes it very difficult for us to take the ladder to attack the city. The height of the city wall. There is no way to solve this, and we can only pile it up with human life. Fortunately, the young and strong in the city are inexperienced, and may react slowly on the **** battlefield, so we have a chance."

"That's the only way to go."

"The biggest problem is the design of the city itself. This is the first time I have encountered a pentagonal city. General, you see, no matter which side we attack, the enemy on the other side of the city wall, Both can form a blow to our army in the other direction. So once we attack the city, we have to invest troops in two directions at the same time, and we have to suppress the opponent. What is annoying is that the opponent's protruding point The tower on the top of the tower can form a powerful blow to our follow-up troops. I reckon that on this tower, there must be all the opponent's arm crossbows and bed crossbows with extremely long range. The designer of this city is really a genius. He made the defender's threat to the attacker not only limited to the city, but also suppressed the follow-up troops." Hu Yanchao shook his head again and again, "Looking at the world, in terms of the height of the city, the Jishi City in front of you is not ranked first , but in terms of solid defense, he is number one."

"How does the general solve it?" Tan Feng looked at Hu Yanchao.

Hu Yanchao stroked his stubble and thought for a moment, "Commander, we will concentrate some of our strength on this side and attack non-stop, giving the opponent the illusion that we just want to break through from this direction. Then we will see the timing , on his opposite side!" Hu Yanchao's fingers reached the back of the model, "Here, launch a fatal blow."

"It's a good idea to go east and attack the west. Then the troops of Liaoxi County and Tianhe County will concentrate their forces to attack this side, and General Hu will organize his elite to attack the other side!" , Zhang Junbao suddenly changed his color. There were not many soldiers in Liaoxi County. This time, he gathered a few thousand soldiers, which is already his last capital. Neither is enough.

"No, if the Liaoxi County soldiers and Tianhe County soldiers are allowed to attack, but the more elite standing army does not move, how can Ye Zhen in the city not notice the abnormality? Ye Zhen is a general under Ye Xiang, although he is not famous, But Ye Zhong and Ye Zhen, both of them are veterans of the long-term army formation, so the standing army can only be the main attack, and the Liaoxi County soldiers and Tianhe County soldiers will organize elites to launch a deadly attack. Can surprise."

"Wonderful." Tan Feng clapped his hands and praised: "General Hu is really powerful, even taking into account the psychological changes of the enemy."

Hu Yanchao stood up and sighed: "We can only count as our own, not the other party's. Let's start attacking tomorrow. In half a day, the moat should be filled, and then the Liaoxi County soldiers and Tianhe County soldiers will start attacking." , let’s talk for a long time!”

Zhang Junbao was shocked, "General Hu, didn't you just say that the standing army will be the main attack?"

Hu Yanchao gave him a sideways glance, "Young Master Zhang, you are the son of Zhang Shouyue, you don't even understand such a simple truth, do you? The loss, but this is what we should pay. The day after tomorrow, if you can't fight down, you can replace us. In this way, the enemy will think that you are not strong enough to attack, and you will be replaced and rested. Our standing army will start to attack. I am not boasting, The fighting power of the standing army far exceeds yours, and the pressure on them will increase exponentially. In this way, the opponent will definitely mobilize troops to reinforce here. This battle will last for a day until night, and then you will select elites and sneak to On the other hand, launch a surprise attack, don't expect your opponents not to find you, what you have to do is to let them find you as late as possible, if they find you when you start to cross the moat, that would be the best, this Time, no hesitation in force, no hesitation in human life. The faster the speed, the higher the hope of success."

Zhang Junbao's face was flushed red by Hu Yanchao's ridicule. Zhang Shouyue is a famous general in the world, but Zhang Junbao has not learned a single point of fighting skills, and he can't see Hu Yanchao's intentions. .

Hu Yanchao sneered, and said to Tan Feng: "Commander Tan~IndoMTL.com~ The 50,000 craftsmen sent by Langya back then, there should be people from Yanlingwei, if the commander can get in touch with them, at the right time If the timing is right, civil strife will be caused in the city, so our chances will be greater."

Tan Feng smiled bitterly, "Of course there are people. There have been news coming out along the roads of Liaoxi City, Fufeng, and Juliguan, but there has been no news since then. , I can’t count on them, but treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, I will give it a try!"

"If this is the case, then there is no hope. Generals, this Jishi city has sufficient food, a lot of armaments, and a lot of young men. Therefore, we must break the city as soon as possible. Slowly, the young and strong of the enemy will gradually become elite soldiers. Everyone is an old soldier. You should understand that when a recruit kills for the first time, he will feel extremely uncomfortable, but when he starts to kill the second, At the third time, people will be numb and calm, and after that, they will kill without blinking an eye. If we can't let their young and strong grow into elite soldiers under our attacks to kill more of our brothers, Then please break through the city as quickly as possible! Please!"

"Promise!" In the tent, dozens of generals, large and small, bowed to accept the order.

When the Jishi City battle was about to break out, outside Jicheng Xiao, the soldiers of the brigade and Yan Lingwei were escorting a carriage, slowly advancing towards the east gate of Jicheng. To be continued. .
