Chapter 1065 Attack on SF City IV

With the assistance of the other three generals, Lao Jiang ensured that he could break through the northern wall of SF City.

"Lao Jiang, we gave you the soldiers, but you can't talk like farts!"

Lao Jiang glared at the three of them angrily and said, "Whenever I say it, I will never count it down. As long as you cooperate, if we can't attack the city wall within three days, I, Lao Jiang, will come to see you!"

"Hi! It's not that we don't know who you are. You were just kidding!"

"You have such a bad temper and you can't say anything. I'll just stop saying it!"

"Let's go back to bed!"

...

The next day, Lao Jiang gathered a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He did not stupidly put all the soldiers and horses under the city wall.

The Shun army in SF City must be convinced that they need to strengthen their attacks in other directions, so that the defense of the northern city wall can be relaxed.

It's not easy.

The guard of SF City is not a fool. He must know which wall is the weak point of SF City.

The northern city wall is the most damaged, but the Suzaku Army has strengthened its offensive in other directions. If you think about it, you will know that there is a conspiracy.

Think I'm a fool!

The guard general of Shunfeng City thought he had seen through the Suzaku Army's conspiracy, but within two days he had doubts about his speculation.

"Is it really the conspiracy of the Suzaku Army? Maybe they deliberately went against the grain?"

"They know that the northern city wall is damaged and think that I will definitely defend the northern city wall, so they plan to attack the city from other walls!"

"Which wall are they planning to attack?"

The guard of SF City had many questions in his mind.

But no one could answer his doubts, and the civil servants didn't know anything.

Not as useful as the advice given by a clerk in the military.

"Hey, why can't I meet a partner who can be both literary and martial?"

The SF City Guards will once again be dissatisfied with the civil servants in the City Lord's Mansion.

Usually when collecting cash, I move faster than anyone else, but at critical moments, everyone runs faster than the other.

It sounds nice. You are the general of SF City. All defenses in SF City are under your command. We are all your soldiers. If you have any orders, just tell us!

The words are very good, but can the SF City guard really order them?

nonsense!

It's definitely not going to work.

If he really dares to give orders to the civil servants in the city lord's palace, he can wait for the reprimand from the royal capital!

Good words are nice to hear, but now I don’t want to just hear good words, I want to hear useful words. Can you give me some useful suggestions?

Should we continue to maintain a high-intensity defense on the northern city wall?

Or should we first mobilize some soldiers on the north wall to help defend the city on other walls?

The defenders of Shunfeng City prefer not to mobilize the garrison on the north wall. If the other walls cannot hold on any longer, they can mobilize some more militiamen to go up to the wall, and the north wall will be temporarily passive.

But he did not have the final say alone in mobilizing the militia.

They are said to be militiamen, but they are actually the private soldiers of the aristocratic families in the city and the guards of the major chambers of commerce.

Without the consent of the head of the family and the owner of the chamber of commerce, he could only mobilize these militiamen through the city lord's palace.

Otherwise, how could he say that the city lord's mansion is full of waste!

I can't think of any good strategies, and I can't even completely control the situation in the city!

If it weren't for the fear of civil strife in the city and the Suzaku Army seizing the opportunity to invade, the SF City defenders would have wanted to seal off all the aristocratic families and chambers of commerce in the city!

Who dares to disobey orders and capture them all!

With the Suzaku Army outside the city, he didn't dare to do this. The carrots and rods were used to stabilize the city initially. If the force was too strong, someone in the city would definitely collude with the Suzaku Army outside the city!

In fact, someone has already done this!

Black Wing and the Military Intelligence Department are not vegetarians. How could such an important and prosperous city as SF City not have their branches.

The Black Wings and members of the Military Intelligence Department in SF City are planning how to coordinate the Suzaku Army outside the city to capture SF City?

If you can cooperate with the Suzaku Army to capture Shunfeng City, even exposing a few strongholds will be worth it!

Although they are all in the city, it is not difficult for them to get in touch with the Suzaku Army outside the city.

Especially Laojiang in the north of the city.

The northern city wall is seriously damaged, not only due to natural causes but also due to man-made causes.

Many lawless elements enter and exit SF City through the North City Wall, so when the wind comes and the water comes, the North City Wall will be damaged so quickly!

Do the people in the City Lord's Mansion know?

Know!

But what's the use of knowing? Where did the smugglers leave the city before, where are they still leaving from now, and will they still leave from here in the future!

Black Wing controls more than one secret passage out of the city.

It was too easy to get in touch with Lao Jiang out of the city.

Lao Jiang was very happy after seeing the Black Wing spy. With Black Wing's cooperation, his success rate in attacking SF City from North City was higher.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the evening, I will fire artillery outside the North City. You will cooperate with me in the city. Then I will attack the city wall. Don't charge too hard, otherwise you will be trapped at the city gate by the Shun army!"

When others attack the city from both inside and outside, they will choose to attack through the city gate, but Lao Jiang wants to be unique.

If he doesn't go through the city gate, he has to climb over the city wall!

The situation of SF City is quite special. The city gate and the city wall near the city gate are very strong.

If you want to sneak in and out of SF City from other places, no problem;

It is impossible to sneak in and out through the city gate!

Even now, the defense at the city gate is the tightest.

The guards of Shunfeng City deployed a large number of soldiers at several city gates and blocked a large amount of debris behind the gates.

There are stones and bags of sand and soil.

They can't block all the city gates. When Commander Gao arrives with reinforcements, they have to rush out of the city and attack the Suzaku Army from both inside and outside with the reinforcements!

The defender of Shunfeng City still believed that Shunfeng City was a strong city and it was impossible for the Suzaku Army to attack. Once Gao Xiang's reinforcements arrived, the offensive and defensive situation immediately changed.

It can't be said that he is just whimsical. If nothing else happens, the idea of ​​​​the defender of Shunfeng City is correct, and it would be the same idea if it were replaced by other generals.

But Qian Jun has always been good at creating miracles and doing things that are unexpected.

SF City is indeed a strong city, but there are gaps inside, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses.

The guard of SF City would not have thought that SF City, which in his eyes was a strong city, would undergo the biggest test in a hundred years tomorrow night.

He will also experience the battle that will have the greatest impact on him in his life tomorrow!

...

The next day, the battle during the day was more intense than the previous two days, and the casualties of both the Shunfeng City defenders and the Suzaku Army increased.

The casualties of the SF City defenders finally reached four figures, and the casualties of the Suzaku Army also exceeded 500.

Although the casualties of the Suzaku Army were relatively small, they consumed a large amount of siege materials.

In the long run, today's attack by the Suzaku Army was a failure. There were not many casualties. But without the siege materials, crossbows, carts, and siege ladders, what did they use to attack the city wall?

Climb up the stack of Arhats?

Treat the soldiers on the city wall as wooden stakes?

The defenders of Shunfeng City also felt a little strange about the changes in the Suzaku Army's offensive. Don't they want to capture Shunfeng City?

If they continue to fight like this, they will have to retreat within a few days, otherwise they will attack the city with ants. That is not the characteristic of Qianjun's siege.

Throughout the process of establishing the Qian Kingdom, there is no record of the Qian Army using human lives to build a city.

Even if they attack a city, their casualties are smaller than those caused by other countries' sieges!

Yang Yuan: "I spend so much money every year on researching various equipment. If I have to use human lives to siege a city, I might as well let those researchers and master craftsmen rush to death!"
