Chapter 1280 Look at My Thunder Method

"I wonder why the general is laughing?!"

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

Indeed, the military is a place where ability is more important, but in some places where the position is high but the power is low, those in power will definitely like to place some people who, although less capable, can speak well.

Just say that at this moment, if Feng Bao laughs, but the generals below are all doing their own things, the scene will undoubtedly be very unpleasant.

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

"I laugh. That Zhao thief has no plans, and that Li thief has a little wisdom, especially Li Tonghai. It is rumored by the outside world that he is a strange man, the best at cunning conspiracies, but now he can only defend the city."

"But Wucheng is no more than an isolated city now. The plank road to Qingzhou has also been burned down. If they are defeated later, a group of people may have no choice but to retreat into the mountains and forests and continue to be bandits."

"But that's right, that Zhao Thief was originally born as a mountain bandit. He got some luck and picked up Wucheng. After returning to the mountains and forests, he is still doing his old job."

"If I were a Zhao thief, I should actually take the three counties near Wucheng as a defensive circle when I first entered the Southern Wilderness. One city and three counties would support each other. This is the best choice. It can be more There is a lot of room for maneuver, and it is not impossible to defeat the strong with the small and the weak. "

"Now, Wucheng is strong, but it has lost the space to move and change. We can only fight with strength. We have 300,000 troops, while the Zhao thieves only have 100,000 troops, but they have to fight against their own shortcomings." The enemy is strong."

Feng Bao made a direct statement on the spot.

"The Wu thieves don't have any additional troops, but our support, a full 200,000 civilians, is already on the way. Even if it is a pile of 200,000 people, it is enough to make a way out..."

As soon as these words came out, people's hearts were immediately invigorated, and most of the accumulated depression caused by the unsuccessful attack on the city for many days was swept away at once.

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

But in the middle of the night, Feng Bao did not return directly to his camp, but went to Chen Qing's camp first.

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

"Wucheng is difficult to conquer. This time, 200,000 people are crammed in. I don't know if it will be enough! This march has been full of energy and has been exhausted again and again. Wucheng has been unable to be attacked for a long time. Now all the soldiers are exhausted, not just the soldiers. , even many generals have the intention to retreat."

Feng Bao said calmly.

The relationship between him and Chen Qing is now very delicate. They are both partners and opponents. But for now, the other party is undoubtedly trustworthy. He must discuss all major matters with the other party.

"When King Wu built Wucheng, he thought that with this city, it would last for thousands of generations. Even though the city wall facing the southern wilderness is only two-thirds of the height and thickness of the city wall facing Qingzhou, through the ages, it has been conquered with strong armies. It only happened twice.”

"More often, they surround them without attacking, cut off their food and water, and let them open the city gates and surrender..."

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

"If the thieves in the city are really as incompetent as I said during the banquet, it would be fine. After a few years of siege, Wucheng would naturally be opened. But the Zhao thieves and the Li thieves are by no means mediocre. Wu Qi said The matter of everyone in the city making crossbows is by no means empty talk. The time is still short, and those common people may not be able to make good crossbows because they are not skilled enough, but in another half a year, it may not be possible. "

"On the other side of Wucheng, backed by mountains and forests, the best thing is wood. Even if they don't take wood from the mountains and forests, the wealthy families in the city use it for their walls and beams. The finest wood.”

"If Zhao Thief is really allowed to complete his savings, I am afraid that the offensive and defensive positions will change in an instant."

Feng Bao said seriously.

"Actually, during this period, I couldn't sleep well every night. If Wu Qi hadn't been so courageous, I'm afraid we might not have believed Wu Qi's words. When the time comes, a few years later, when Wu Qi is defeated, I'm afraid It’s also the time when I’m waiting for defeat.”

"Every night, I am thankful that things did not go in this direction..."

The two discussed until late at night, but still could not find 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 tent, Feng Bao looked in the direction of Wucheng. From such a long distance, he could only vaguely see the light of fire on the city wall.

This time, they gathered 200,000 civilians to die, and there were already a lot of complaints. If they still couldn't take Wucheng, there would be huge problems.

At the same time, he had a hunch in his heart that if he could not take Wucheng this time, it would not be long before the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed.

"Once a general achieves great success, he can only suffer for the common people for a great cause. As for the infamy, let Wu Qi take the responsibility..."

Feng Bao couldn't help but think so.

"Also, if the city is breached, I'm afraid the city will have to be massacred for three days, otherwise it won't be enough to calm the morale of the army..."

Throughout the ages, sieges of cities have generally suffered huge setbacks, often followed by massacres after the city was broken. This was not just because the generals were bloodthirsty, but more importantly, to vent the hatred of the soldiers to prevent their subordinates from attacking. Rebellion.

As for the common people, regardless of whether they are prosperous or troubled times, they are always weeds and cannot be killed. No matter how many are killed, they will grow again in the spring breeze.

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

That night, he dreamed that he had piled up corpses to make a road and captured Wucheng. When he stood on the towering city tower, he was full of pride, but at this moment, the originally bright sky suddenly darkened, and a huge meteorite in the sky hit the city tower directly.

"Ah!"

Feng Bao woke up, 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, 60,000 Yingtian troops were ready to go, and the 2,000 Taiping Camp soldiers who led them were all riding horses, mighty and majestic.

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

With Zhao Cheng's order, the city gate opened immediately, and the 2,000 cavalrymen of Taiping Camp were the first to leave the city.

Five miles outside the city, the guard towers built by the three coalition forces, the soldiers stationed there, just saw the fire, and immediately, the soldiers on more than ten war horses that were clearing the way raised their guns at the same time, and in an instant, they shot the people on the towers into sieves across hundreds of meters.

"Kill!"

Huang Qi took the lead at this moment.

As a Taoist, he should not have gone to the battlefield, but he was really itchy, and he shamelessly harassed Zhao Cheng several times before finally getting Zhao Cheng to agree to let him go to the battlefield again.

Under the effect of firearms, the guard towers along the way were completely useless and could not cause any obstacles, but the sound of gunfire was still very obvious.

Soon, when the movement was heard, there was a wolf smoke rising.

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

At this time, the coalition forces had also reacted and deployed troops in the direction of the enemy's attack.

"I am General Jia Tiezhen. Who are you? Tell me your name. Do you dare to fight me?"

A few hundred meters away, in the coalition camp, a burly man shouted and rode forward.

"I am General Huang Qi of Yingtian. I will fight you!"

"Look at my thunder magic!"

When Huang Qi heard this voice, his eyes lit up and he rode wildly.

When the distance between the two was only 200 meters, Huang Qi directly took out his gun, a rifle with a caliber three times the size. It was not a gun, but it was almost a cannon.

Accompanied by a huge explosion, Jia Tiezhen, who rushed towards Huang Qi, fell down with his horse.
