"I don't know why the general is laughing?!"

Feng Bao smiled, and immediately a general who was good at flattering answered the words.

It is true that in the army, the ability is more important, but in some places with high positions and light powers, those who are in positions of power will definitely like to install some people who are less capable but can speak well.

Just say at this moment, if Feng Bao is laughing, but the generals below are doing their own things, the scene will undoubtedly be very ugly.

And as someone flattered him, even everyone's eyes turned to Feng Bao, wanting to see what General Feng had to say.

"I laugh, that thief Zhao has no plans, that thief Li has little wisdom, especially that Li Tonghai, it is rumored that he is a strange man who is best at strategizing, but now he only sticks to the city and defends."

"But Wucheng is just an isolated city now, and the plank road to Qingzhou has also been burned. If they retreat later, a group of people may have to retreat into the mountains and continue to be bandits."

"But it's true. Bandit Zhao was originally born as a bandit. He got a bit of luck to pick up Wucheng, and then returned to the mountains and forests. He is also doing his old job."

"If I were thief Zhao, I should have forcibly seized the land of the three counties near Wucheng as a defensive circle when I first entered the Southern Wilderness. One city and three counties should support each other. This is the best choice. You can have more It is not impossible to use the less to fight the more, and the weak to defeat the strong at that time."

"But now, Wucheng is solid, but it has lost the room to move and change. We can only use strength to fight strength, and we have 300,000 troops, and Zhao's bandits are only 100,000, but they are short of themselves. It's time to attack the enemy."

Feng Bao made a direct statement on the spot.

"Wu Thief doesn't have any soldiers to supplement, but our support, a total of 200,000 civilians, is already on the way. Even if there are 200,000 people, it is enough to pile up a road..."

As soon as these words came out, people's hearts were immediately cheered up. For many days, most of the stagnant energy accumulated in the unsuccessful siege of the city was swept away at once.

When the banquet started again, this time, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

It was only in the middle of the night, but Feng Bao didn't return directly to his tent, but went to Chen Qing's tent first.

The two sat opposite each other on the couch, both of them looked serious, and they were not even the slightest bit drunk.

"Wucheng is difficult to cross. This time, 200,000 people will fill it in. I don't know if it will be enough! This marching and fighting, one go at a time and then fail again. Wucheng can't be attacked for a long time. Now all the soldiers are exhausted, not just the soldiers. , and even many generals are thinking of retreating."

Feng Bao said calmly.

The relationship between him and Chen Qing is very delicate now, they are partners and rivals at the same time, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the other party can undoubtedly be trusted, and he must discuss with the other party on any major matters.

"At the beginning when King Wu built Wu City, he thought that with this city, it would last forever. Even if the city wall facing the southern desert is only facing the direction of Qingzhou, it is two-thirds of the height and thickness. It just happened twice."

"More, they are surrounded without attacking, cut off their food and water, and let them open the city gate to surrender..."

Chen Qing was born fair and clean, like a Confucian scholar, but his force was not low at all.

"If the thieves in the city are really as incompetent as I said in the banquet, it's fine. After a few years of siege, Wu City will naturally be opened, but the Zhao thief and the Li thief are by no means mediocre, as Wu Qi said. The matter of making crossbows by everyone in the city is by no means empty talk, and the time is short now, those commoners may not be skilled enough to make good crossbows, but in half a year, it may not be possible."

"On the other side of Wucheng, backed by mountains and forests, the worst thing is wood. Even if you don't get wood from the mountains and forests, the houses of the rich in the city, whether it's walls or beams, use wood The finest wood."

"If Zhao Thief's savings are really completed, I'm afraid that the offensive and defensive positions will change in an instant."

Feng Bao said seriously.

"Actually, during this period of time, I couldn't sleep well every night. If it weren't for Wu Qi's great courage, I'm afraid I might not believe Wu Qi's words. At that time, after a few years, when Wu Qi is defeated, I'm afraid It's also when I wait for my defeat."

"Every night, I'm glad things didn't go this way..."

The two have been discussing late into the night, but they still haven't found any absolutely feasible solution.

It's not that they are not smart enough, but that King Wu really built Wucheng too strong.

After leaving Chen Qing's camp, Feng Bao looked in the direction of Wu Cheng. After such a long distance, he could only vaguely see the flames on the city wall.

This time, they gathered 200,000 civilians to die, and they have already caused complaints. If they still can't take Wucheng, there will be huge problems.

At the same time, he had a premonition in his heart that if he couldn't take Wu Cheng this time, it might not be long before the offensive and defensive momentum reversed.

"Once the general is successful, all the bones will be ruined. For the great cause, we can only suffer the common people. As for the infamy, let Wu stand up..."

Feng Bao couldn't help thinking so.

"What's more, if the city is broken, I'm afraid it will have to be slaughtered for three days, otherwise it won't be enough to calm the morale of the army..."

Throughout the ages, things like sieges have generally suffered huge setbacks, and are often accompanied by subsequent massacres after breaking the city. In this, it is not just because of the bloodthirsty generals, but more importantly, it is to vent the hatred of the soldiers, so as to prevent the subordinates from attacking the city. rebellion.

As for the people, regardless of whether it is a prosperous or a troubled time, they are always weeds, which cannot be killed. No matter how many people are killed, they will be reborn again.

Thinking all the way, returning to his tent, after daydreaming, Feng Bao fell into a deep sleep.

That night, he dreamed of himself, heaped up a road with his bones, and captured Wucheng. When he stood on the majestic tower, he was full of ambition, but at this moment, the originally bright sky suddenly appeared. Turning dark, above the sky, a huge meteor smashed straight towards the position of the tower.

"ah!"

Feng Bao woke up with a start, but found that it was not yet dawn, but there seemed to be some noise in the distance.

...

At the same time, on the other side, in Wucheng, the 60,000 Yingtian Army is ready to go, and the 2,000 Taiping Taoist soldiers in the lead are all riding horses, majestic and majestic.

As for the remaining 10,000, they stayed to defend the city.

Following Zhao Cheng's order, the gates of the city opened immediately, and the two thousand riders from the Taiping Camp left the city first.

Five miles outside the city, the sentry towers built by the three coalition forces, and the soldiers stationed there, just saw the flames, and immediately, the soldiers on more than a dozen horses who opened the way raised their guns at the same time. The people on the tower were beaten into a sieve.

"kill!"

Huang Qi took the lead at the moment.

As a Taoist, he shouldn't have gone to the battlefield, but he couldn't hold it back, he felt really itchy, and after a few times of embarrassment and confrontation with Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng finally agreed to let him go to the battlefield again.

Under the action of firearms, the sentry towers along the way were useless at all and could not cause any obstacles, but such things as gunshots were still very obvious.

Soon, when there was movement, there was smoke rising.

However, when the camp of the coalition forces reacted, at this moment, the Taiping Dao soldiers were only more than 500 meters away from the camps of the three coalition forces.

At this time, the coalition forces had already reacted and formed formations in the direction of the enemy's attack.

"I am General Jia Tiezhen, who is coming, tell me your name, how dare you fight me!"

A few hundred meters away, in the camp of the coalition forces, there was a burly man shouting loudly and riding his horse forward.

"I am Huang Qi, the general of the sky, I will fight you!"

"Look at me Leifa!"

Huang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this voice, and he galloped wildly.

When the distance between the two of them was only 200 meters, Huang Qi directly drew out his gun. A rifle with three times the caliber was said to be a gun, and it was almost close to a cannon.

Accompanied by the sound of a huge explosion, Jia Tiezhen, who charged towards Huang Qi, fell down in response.
