Urban Spirit Sword Fairy

Chapter 2042 Withdraw

At the same time, looking out from the city wall, one could faintly see the sea level, and a large number of Zhou's troops appeared densely packed with all kinds of siege equipment.

Qi Minghou sat on the horse and looked at the Qi'an County City in front of him.

The counselor next to him smiled and said: "This Zheng Guangping is a well-known old tortoise, so he can only defend the city, but Lord Hou also has to be careful, now our domestic military and all walks of life are watching your performance in this battle, too. Many people want the position of the general."

In Zhou Guo's current situation, the only one who can convince everyone is Fang Jin. Once Fang Jin dies, no one who becomes the great general will be able to convince everyone.

At this moment, the Zhou Guowu Generals Group may secretly know how many people want to see Qi Minghou's jokes.

Qi Minghou chuckled and said, "Send 20 troops to attack the city."

The city is only so wide, and it is unrealistic for millions of troops to attack the city together. It will only be crowded.

The 20 army is also the limit of the siege.

Even in Qi State, there are less than [-] soldiers guarding the city walls.

The remaining 20 are waiting in the back and taking turns to rest.

Siege warfare or city defense warfare, to put it bluntly, is actually a protracted war.

Let's see which side can't bear it first.

In an instant, 20 Zhou Guo's army marched mightily towards Qi'an County City.

"Order not to shoot arrows." Zheng Guangping on the city wall said: "Don't use hot oil and round logs for the time being, save a little. If they use siege ladders, let them go up first, come up and kill one by one, and then use local soldiers Throw the corpse down and hit the besiegers."

Of course, people who are not familiar with the battlefield will also want to say, when these people climb the ladder, shouldn't it be enough to retreat the ladder?

In fact, if there are too many people climbing on the ladder, the weight is amazing.

Moreover, the ladder is very long and slopes towards the city wall. It is basically impossible for ordinary soldiers to push the ladder out.

Seeing this, Chen Pingyi didn't stop Zheng Guangping's order, but he still asked afterward: "General Zheng, why don't you shoot the arrow first before the enemy approaches and kill one round?"

Zheng Guangping shook his head: "Although there are a lot of arrows in reserve, there are millions of troops on the opposite side, so we can't kill many of them. Zhou Guo is far outnumbered by us, so he will want to knock us down in one go, and there will be no truce in between. , and don’t have time to go out and collect arrows.”

If it is a normal battle, when the battle is temporarily over, the soldiers can go down in wooden baskets to collect arrows and continue to use them.

But Zheng Guangping understood that there would be no such opportunity in this war.

The two sides fought fiercely together in an instant, and countless Zhou soldiers wanted to rush to the city wall.

As a result, the process of rushing up the city wall was easier than they imagined, and even made many Zhou soldiers have the illusion that the opponent's generals were bought by our side?

But after climbing the city gate, a bunch of swords swarmed in an instant.

After killing the soldier, he recycled the body and threw it down, knocking down many soldiers who were climbing the ladder.

This approach worked quite well.

It didn't even consume too much of the Qi army's material reserves.

"what?"

Qi Minghou, who was watching the battle from a distance, was also a little surprised. He hadn't thought of such a situation before.

This is a little embarrassing.

If you want to attack the city, go up to the city, and they will let you go up, go up and kill the Zhou soldiers, and use the corpses of the Zhou soldiers as weapons to continue attacking the people below.

Siege warfare, the most important thing is to consume the opponent's material reserves.

Once the defenders run out of arrows, hot oil, logs and other weapons used to defend the city, there will be a steady stream of soldiers rushing forward.

This is also a conventional siege routine.

But what I never expected was that such a fight would not consume the supplies of the Qi army at all.

And according to this method of fighting, if Zhou Guo died ten soldiers, he might be able to kill one Qi army.

"Order, let everyone withdraw." Qi Minghou's face was gloomy, knowing that he had really encountered a hard bone, and it was not so easy to chew.

Although he was anxious to make some achievements to show to those people in Zhou Guo, it was not enough to let the soldiers under him rush to the top as if they were dying.

In this round, the casualties on both sides were not too large, and at most it was only a tentative attack.

Zhou Guo's army retreated five miles and set up camp.

Qi Minghou was sitting on top of the camp tent, with many generals sitting on both sides.

"Let's talk about it, is there any good strategy?" Qi Minghou said in a deep voice.

These generals were basically Fang Jin's former subordinates, and they didn't say anything casually at the moment.

After all, they were not familiar with Qi Minghou, nor did they know Qi Minghou's character.

If you say something nonsense at this moment and use it on the battlefield later, if the effect is not good, I am afraid that the responsibility will have to rest on them.

This is why when a war is fought, the people below are all his confidants.

At this moment, these generals are not even willing to express their opinions, and they are even somewhat wary of Qi Minghou.

Qi Minghou looked at the silent appearance of these generals around him, and secretly sighed in his heart.

At this time, the counselor beside Qi Minghou said in a low voice: "General, it is said that there are only 30 troops stationed in Qi'an County, and Qi State still has 20 troops, which were arranged by Zheng Guangping in the four surrounding cities. Otherwise, we Annihilate the Qi army in these four cities first? Break Zheng Guangping's wings."

Qi Minghou pondered for a moment, and said: "You have seen what Zheng Guangping did today. Let our people go up, kill them and then use the corpses as weapons. Will such a person make such a fatal mistake? I'm afraid it is What kind of trap is waiting for us to drill in the dark, if we really want to attack these four cities, we will be fooled by him instead."

Many generals present also nodded secretly.

On the battlefield, the enemy has revealed a huge flaw. First of all, you have to consider whether this is a bait.

Qi Minghou is also from a family of military generals, so he is not a wimp, otherwise he would not be able to take over Fang Jin's class.

At this time, General Gou Buhui couldn't bear it any longer, he couldn't stay so frozen, could he?

He said: "General, I do have a proposal, but, my proposal..."

"If the effect is not good, tell the outside world that I said it. If the effect is good, it should be your credit." Qi Minghou's words were also in the hearts of everyone present.

So as not to make any effort.

Hearing this, Gou Buhui's expression relaxed a bit, and he said: "Actually, although Zheng Guangping's method is good, it also has loopholes. After all, if we want to let our people go up, we just need to take some hands and feet from the people who go up."

Qi Minghou's eyes lit up immediately.
