Chapter 374 The blood is boiling

"When the two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable, but you must come back intact. Do you hear clearly how I ask you to go back?" Seeing the two people turning around and walking down the tower, Zhou Sining caught up with them.

Step, he said again with a solemn face.

"Yes, please keep this in mind." Jingying and Yun Gui both turned around and saluted Zhou Sining straightly.

They understood what Madam was saying.

In the heart of the master, they are family members, and the wife also regards them as family members.

The shouts and shouts of killing disappeared, and everything inside and outside the city wall suddenly became quiet. The enemies attacking outside the city wall retreated like a tide, and the soldiers guarding the city wall also alternated in an orderly manner. The new soldiers who came up all had expressions on their faces.

They waited solemnly. The people who retreated sat down on the ground tiredly, breathing heavily. After several rounds of fighting, they all knew clearly that this silence was short-lived, and the enemy would soon attack again.

.

Zhou Sining walked down the city gate tower, passed by the soldiers who were leaning on the base of the city wall, breathing heavily, and walked up the city wall step by step. She saw the soldiers holding halberds standing tensely close to the city wall with solemn eyes. She saw the injured soldiers.

The soldiers lay on the ground groaning silently, waiting for someone to carry them down for treatment. They saw the battle scars on the city wall covered with blood.

Zhou Sining's heart tightened, war, this is war. A general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones drying up, and a warrior will be tired and mourned for hundreds of battles. With the flames of war, every victory or defeat is the result of human lives.

Chu Yulin, this bastard!

Seeing the brutality on the city wall, Zhou Sining wished he could kill the fifth prince with a thousand cuts.

"Kill!"

"Come on!"

Along with the shouts of fighting and killing, there was also the sound of countless arrows flying.

Whoosh!

A feathered arrow just happened to fly in the direction of Zhou Sining. Banxia exclaimed and rushed forward to block the arrow, but saw that Zhou Sining only turned slightly to avoid it.

Yes, a new round of offensive and defensive battles had begun, but Zhou Sining did not step down from the city wall. He stood there and watched the generals of the Fifth Army Supervisor commanding the battalions to defend.

Watching a general commanding the soldiers to defend and counterattack calmly and orderly, and always seizing the right timing. Zhou Sining was filled with surprise. He hadn't heard that the Governor of the Fifth Army was very good at defending the city? Or should this general be said to be good at defending the city?

Seeing this as an exception, Zhou Sining started walking along the city wall. Everywhere she passed, she saw almost the same situation. This made her even more surprised.

A staff officer surnamed Liu from the Fifth Army Supervisor who was uniting the front learned that Zhou Sining was on the city wall. He rushed to the city wall in three steps and two steps. He only walked a few battlements and saw Zhou Sining standing there perfectly.

, the hanging heart is finally relieved.

"The last general Liu Cheng meets the county lord!"

After understanding the purpose of Liu Shenling's visit, Zhou Sining did not make things difficult for him and followed him down the city wall. After questioning, she was relieved of her lingering surprise.

It turns out that when He Beiting selected troops for the expedition, although he selected elite soldiers from each battalion, he left behind only generals from each battalion who were good at defending the city.

Let's put it this way, each of the major battalions of the Fifth Army Superintendent will be subdivided into each battalion according to the strength of the soldiers. There are subdivisions such as scout battalion, forward battalion, assault battalion, city defense battalion, archery battalion, etc.

As for the 20,000 soldiers left by He Beiting, although they were old and weak, more than half were from the city defense camp.

In other words, before He Beiting set out to conquer the North, he had expected that the Fifth Prince would besiege the capital after his failure to seize the throne, so most of the 20,000 troops he left behind came from the city defense camp. Therefore, he also expected that His Highness the Prince would surely

Choose to stick around and wait for help.

He Beiting's scheming plan is really terrifying to think about!

Zhou Sining took a deep breath, feeling proud, distressed, and sad. If there was no one available in this court, why would he have planned this?

Such He family, such He Beiting, almost all their bones and blood were dedicated to Xuan Guo, but they could not get the kind treatment from the Chu royal family. The tragedy of the He family more than ten years ago has not been received yet.

A clear statement.

And now His Highness the Crown Prince has begun to be wary of the He family as soon as he took over the power of the Supervisor. After taking the throne, even if he does not attack the He family soon, he may not be able to withstand any test. In addition, some slanderous officials come and go from time to time.

Advise.

It’s really chilling to think about it.

After this epidemic, the He family must retreat bravely, and the tragedy of the He family more than ten years ago must not be allowed to happen again.

"Leader Liu Shen, if the 10,000 soldiers from the West City camp go out to fight 10,000 enemies, according to your estimation, how likely is the victory?" Zhou Sining calmed down and turned all his thoughts back to the defense of the city in front of him.

.

Liu Cheng frowned at first, and then said: "It's hard to say, it depends on who they are facing. If the current 10,000 battalions are facing 10,000 prairie wolves, there is no chance of winning. If they are facing the Ukrainian-Vietnamese coalition,

There will be about a 50% chance of winning. If the battle is against the Fifth Prince’s private army, I’m afraid the chance of winning will be less than 30%.”

Quickly glancing at Zhou Sining's expression, Liu Cheng continued: "Just now, the last general told the county chief that the 20,000 battalion soldiers left by the Fifth Army Superintendent were not only a mixture of old and weak, but more than half of them were from

Guard the city camp.

Therefore, if we insist on not fighting, we will eventually be confident that no one can break the city with the same strength. But right now, the ratio of our troops defending the city to the troops outside the city is one to five. Now they are just taking turns to attack the city with equal strength.

, we can defend it quite calmly. If they attack the city with all their strength, the general can't tell how long they can defend it."

This statement is quite fair and not too biased. There is neither fear of the enemy nor unnecessary arrogance.

Zhou Sining couldn't help but take another look at Liu Cheng. Because of his impartial statement, he had a good impression of him. Because of this, he said a few more words.

"If with the current offensive, the maximum number of enemy troops attacking the city does not exceed 20,000, how long can Liu Shen lead the defense?"

After Liu Cheng thought for a while, he resolutely said: "Well, if there are sufficient supplies in the city, and with the current intensity, the number of people does not exceed 20,000, I can guarantee that the city will not be broken in a short time."

It is always easier to defend a city than to break it. Even if the attacker has twice the strength of the defender, it is not certain that he can break the city. Unless the defender is timid, it is hard to say whether he will win or lose.

.

"Well, don't worry, Liu Shenling, I will do my best to ensure that the number of enemies outside the city will not exceed 20,000." After Zhou Sining finished speaking, he walked away.

Liu Cheng stared blankly at Zhou Sining's back. After a while, he shook his head and chuckled as if he was laughing at himself.

How can she guarantee that the number of enemy troops attacking the city will not exceed 20,000? Can she still make the enemy listen to her? This is simply... I don't know what to say.

In the battle by the Xiaoyi River, it is said that she faced nearly a hundred killers with only six wounded soldiers. Not only did she annihilate countless enemies, but she also brought everyone alive to wait for reinforcements. Only with this, the Lieutenant General

The Lord of Yongshun County is almost said to be a god.

Otherwise, her blood wouldn't be boiling just because she came to sit in battle in Xicheng.
