Chapter 1317 Purpose

Soon, Qinpu called the general in charge of the siege and asked about the situation of the defenders.

The general also reported everything he saw to Qinpu.

Most of the soldiers defending the city were injured. It was probably because the enemy troops that had broken through earlier were pulled onto the city wall.

In addition, the enemy should not have many arrows.

During the entire period of their siege, the enemy did not fire an arrow.

It was obvious that the enemy also realized that they were only launching a tentative attack and were reluctant to use their precious arrows.

Also, the enemy general in charge of defending the city doesn't seem to be very smart.

They clearly had kerosene cans, but they didn't know how to light them and throw them at them, and instead used stones to throw at the soldiers who were filling the river.

Although this caused them some casualties, it also allowed them to quickly fill a path in the moat using the stones thrown down by the enemy.

Listening to the general's report, Qinpu couldn't help but think secretly.

He could see that the enemy didn't have many arrows.

As for whether the enemy general was smart, he didn't know.

But the enemy general's defense was very good.

If he had not given the order to stop the siege in time, even if all 4,000 men were wiped out, it is estimated that no one would be able to climb the enemy's city wall, let alone capture the city.

Moreover, the enemy's morale had just been defeated and was not as low as he had imagined.

Right now, he needs to consider whether to launch a full-scale attack.

Attack, he always felt a little worried in his heart.

He was not afraid of not being able to capture the city.

I’m just afraid that it will cost a huge price to capture this city.

They were also afraid that the siege would drag on too long, which would be disadvantageous to them when the weather got colder.

Let’s not attack. The battle has come to this point and they have successfully filled a passage in the moat.

If he said he would not attack the city at this time, not to mention others, he himself would not be willing to do so.

If they don't attack the city, why would their 100,000-strong army come here?

Are you just here to wander around?

"My lord, let's attack!"

Garon was eager to give it a try. "The enemy is just a bunch of defeated soldiers defending the city, and they don't even have enough arrows! We can take advantage of their high morale and capture the city in one fell swoop!"

After listening to Kalon's words, the other generals also began to persuade him.

"Yes! My king, let's continue the attack!"

"I am willing to lead my troops as the vanguard of the siege! I promise that we can capture the enemy city within one day!"

"We will attack in turns and not give the enemy any chance to breathe! In one day at most, the enemy will surely collapse..."

The generals tried to persuade and request a fight.

Listening to the generals' words, Qinpu frowned immediately.

Arrogant soldiers will be defeated!

These people only defeated the enemy because of Kalon's betrayal, and they are so proud of themselves!

It feels like they are even more powerful than Yun Zheng, the universally recognized number one general in the world!

If they attack the city with this mentality, they will definitely suffer a great loss!

"Shut up, everyone!"

Qinpu's face suddenly fell, and he shouted angrily: "Do you think you are very powerful? Or do you think the enemy is all trash? If the enemy is really as bad as you say, can we still break out?"

After hearing Qinpu's angry rebuke, all the generals shut up.

After scolding everyone for a few words, Qinpu's expression eased a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose! This is the way to be a general! To despise the enemy is to despise yourself!"

"Yes!"

The generals saluted one after another.

Qinpu was silent for a moment, then quickly gave the order: "Stop attacking today and just guard the filled passage!"

"From tonight until dawn the day after tomorrow, send people to launch feint attacks in turns to keep the enemy from having any peace!"

"At dawn the day after tomorrow, Zhaduo and Kalon will each lead 10,000 troops to attack the city from the south and west simultaneously!"

Chimpu finally decided to attack the city.

He must attack the city!

Otherwise, there would be no point in them leading a large army to attack.

"Yes!"

After receiving Qinpu's order, all the generals obeyed it.

"Zado, Kalon!"

"exist!"

"You lead your troops to have a good rest and make sure the soldiers are well fed and watered! We must capture this city at dawn the day after tomorrow!"

"As ordered!"

"I have prepared a thousand yaks and three thousand taels of gold! Whoever of you two enters the city first will get the reward!"

"Yes!"

Zhaduo and Kalon obeyed the order loudly at the same time, with excitement flashing in their eyes, and they were determined to get Qinpu's reward.

……

"kill!"

"Kill!"

As night fell, the enemy launched a feint attack.

The shouts and cries of killing outside the city were endless, making it impossible for the defenders on the city walls to rest. They were in a state of extreme tension, worrying at any time that the enemy would turn their feint attack into a real attack.

Yu Shizhong glanced outside the city indifferently, with a disdainful smile on his face.

A strategy to tire out the enemy!

These are all left over from His Highness's play!

It is really naive to use this method to deal with them!

"Send a message to Lu Xing to lead his troops to replace the defenders on the city wall immediately!"

"Order the defenders to extinguish half of the torches on the city walls!"

Yu Shizhong made a prompt decision.

"Yes!"

The messenger quickly went forward to deliver the message.

Tang Zhao looked at Yu Shizhong with admiration, "General Yu had already anticipated that the enemy would use this tactic, so he didn't let General Lu lead his troops to the city?"

"Lu Xing's troops are only this effective?"

Yu Shizhong shook his head and smiled, "You spent so much time in the military academy for nothing, or are you just trying to flatter me?"

"This one……"

Tang Zhao smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I am just trying to flatter the general..."

"That's pretty much it!"

Yu Shizhong glared at Tang Zhao with a smile, "If that's all you can see, you don't even have the qualifications to go back to the military academy for retraining!"

Having said that, Yu Shizhong began to test Tang Zhao again, asking him to analyze the purpose of his arrangement.

Tang Zhao was also one of the few outstanding students in the early days of the Military Academy.

He didn't believe that this kid only saw this little!

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhao immediately began to analyze Yu Shizhong's intentions.

First, make the enemy mistakenly believe that they are a group of defeated soldiers defending the city, so that they can launch an attack without hesitation, thus causing greater casualties to the enemy.

Second, let the soldiers defending the city know that they still have reserve forces! In this way, the soldiers defending the city will not fall into despair under the fierce attack of the enemy.

The third is what he just said, when the enemy army feints an attack, someone can take over the guard so that the soldiers defending the city can rest and avoid being exhausted by the enemy.

At present, this is all Tang Zhao can see.

He really didn't see any more.

"Well, no wonder you were chosen by His Highness to be sent here."

Yu Shizhong looked at Tang Zhao approvingly and said, "Work hard! You have made an appointment with His Highness, so it is not impossible for you to lead an army to guard a place in the future!"

Tang Zhao and Li Jun were both selected by His Highness himself and sent here.

Unfortunately, Li Jun was unlucky and died in the previous battle.

"I still need to learn more from General Yu!"

Tang Zhao said modestly.

"Okay, stop flattering me."

Yu Shizhong smiled, "Although this flattery sounds quite comfortable, I would rather see you stand on your own! Don't let others say that Your Highness has a bad eye for people!"

"Yes!"

Tang Zhao suddenly straightened up...
