Chapter 1400 How to Choose
Cai Cheng's brows frowned slightly in an instant.
Cai Cheng, who had been hanging out in the court for many years, was not a stupid young man who only knew how to fight when he first entered the military camp. From the general's words, he keenly felt the meaning contained in them.
The general who spoke was already preparing for the division of the fruits of victory after this uprising.
Everyone knows that once he, Cai Cheng, succeeds in his uprising, he will definitely have a large number of generals. Conglong Zhigong is a great achievement. Although Cai Cheng will definitely reward all meritorious soldiers, there are only so many good positions. One more person means more competition. Naturally, these generals under him want as few competitors as possible.
If the current situation is severe and someone has this idea, Cai Cheng will definitely scold him, but in Cai Cheng's view, the current situation is very good, and he naturally doesn't mind such thoughts popping up in the minds of his subordinates.
The other generals next to Cai Cheng also agreed. With the situation so good, they really did not need to use internal resources in the city.
Cai Cheng's thoughts are actually similar to those of these generals. Under the current circumstances, there is indeed no need to use internal resources in the city.
"There is really no need to contact those people in the city for the time being." Cai Cheng said.
Cai Cheng's words made many people look happy. If their attack was not going well and Cai Cheng used internal agents, then afterwards, those internal agents in the city would definitely be the most successful, and they would obviously have no choice but to move back.
"Send more people over to the trebuchet." Cai Cheng did not think too much about this matter and continued: "Presumably the defenders in the city have felt the power of our improved trebuchet by now. In order to To avoid suffering a devastating blow, they are likely to send a small force to attack the trebuchet camp."
"Don't worry, sir. A team of three thousand people has been sent to the trebuchet camp for protection." As soon as Cai Cheng finished speaking, a general stood up and said: "If a small force is dispatched from the city, they want to break through this The defense of three thousand people will be extremely difficult. Even if they send out a large number of troops, these three thousand people can hold on for a while. This time is enough for us to send people to support. "
Cai Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I hope that those in the city can send out a large number of troops to destroy the trebuchet. In that case, we can cover it up and the Wind and Rain City will be destroyed."
The power of the trebuchet is huge, but there is not much hope of relying on the trebuchet to kill the enemy. After all, the accuracy of this thing is difficult to control. However, the trebuchet can be used to destroy city defense facilities. Once the city defense facilities are completely destroyed, Then, it will be much easier for them to attack the city. This is the threat of the trebuchet.
At the same time, the trebuchet is still a bait. People in the city will definitely be aware of the threat of the trebuchet. If they don't want to sit back and wait, they must find a way to destroy the trebuchet. As long as they guard the trebuchet, they can severely damage it. Destroyed the trebuchet team.
What faced the city's defenders was a difficult problem: sending a small force would inevitably fail to destroy the trebuchet. If a large number of troops were sent, it might leave the city's defenses empty, allowing them to seize the opportunity to capture the city.
"I'm curious about what choices the people in the city will make." Cai Cheng said to himself.
"Hurry, faster!"
"Stones, where are the rocks? Bring more here!"
"I have them all targeted and hit, smashing the walls of Wind and Rain City!"
In the rebel trebuchet camp, roars could be heard from time to time.
Because the trebuchet is huge and a large number of stones need to be piled around it, the trebuchet camp is not within the main camp of the rebels. There is some distance between the two. At this time, in addition to carrying stones, In addition to the coolies and the team operating the trebuchet, there was also a team of 3,000 people guarding the surrounding area.
This team of 3,000 people are all fully armed, and their eyes are all looking in the direction of the city wall of Fengyu City: if anyone wants to come to destroy the trebuchet, it must be a team from Fengyu City, and they only need to guard this direction. .
"Do you think people from this city will come?" A captain in the team asked his colleague next to him.
"Come, they will definitely come, unless they are willing to watch us smash the city wall to pieces." The colleague said: "At that time, without the support of the city wall, if they want to defend the Wind and Rain City, I'm afraid It’s very difficult.”
"That's true." The captain who asked the question said with a smile: "I hope they can come. In this case, we can also make a contribution."
Nowadays, the situation on Cai Cheng's side is very good. Almost all the generals are thinking about enfeoffment afterwards. The more meritorious service they perform in the war, the more they will gain afterwards.
"Who wouldn't want to?" said the colleague next to him: "As long as we keep a good guard, people will definitely come to the city. As long as we can defeat them when the time comes, we will have the credit."
"Haha, you're right. It seems that this credit can't be lost. I just don't know how many people they will come."
"It doesn't matter how many people come, we will wait for work. We will kill as many as they come."
"right!"
Both of them are full of confidence. This place is quite far away from the city wall. Their team is equipped with a large number of archers. The army in the city will suffer a devastating blow from them before they can rush in front of them.
In front of the catapult camp, there are traps such as horse pits to ensure that the teams in the city will never return!
Just as the two were chatting in a relaxed mood, they didn't know that a figure had quietly appeared underground directly below them.
With the Swift Eagle providing vision in the air, Wu Fan would not lose his way even if he didn't show his head. At this time, he had already arrived at the catapult camp.
"Sure enough, there are quite a few people guarding here." Wu Fan didn't rush to show his head. With the Swift Eagle hovering in the sky, he could see the situation of the rebels' catapult camp clearly even if he was underground.
Thousands of fully armed soldiers were guarding here. If Chen Wende really came with a death squad, he would really die here.
However, now that Wu Fan has come, the situation is naturally different.
Originally, Wu Fan was planning to destroy all these catapults, but now Wu Fan changed his mind. These catapults were indeed powerful, and it would be a pity to destroy them. They could continue to be used and continue to exert their power, but not in the hands of these rebels, but in the hands of him, Wu Fan.
