Chapter 318: Only outsmart!
Luan country, surging river.
Dozens of warships are unfurling their sails and sailing with the wind at great speed.
On every warship, a flag was hoisted with a large character on it, "Qin!"
On the deck of the main warship, Jing Xun stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the rough river in the distance.
The order given to him by Qin Yi was to pass through Taohe River, change the road to Mohe River, and go straight to Lijing, the neighboring country.
Although he took the water route, the river was long and the country would definitely send troops to intercept it, so Jing Xun was not sure how long it would take him to reach Li Jing.
At this time, he was also in a situation where there was no information. He did not know what the battle situation of his own troops would be after more than ten days.
The three-pronged army, with the central army commanded by Qin Yi, faces Ying'an City, the undefeated city of the previous country. Although it will be impossible to capture it for a while, with Qin Yi's strategy, there should not be any major losses.
Sun Xingling on the right is a man of few words, but he is quite trusted by Qin Yi. Before setting off, Qin Yi whispered to Sun Xingling and seemed to have other arrangements.
If he acts according to Qin Yi's arrangements, there won't be a big problem.
Han Lin, who is on the left, is an unfamiliar person. He behaves well and should not make any big mistakes.
Thinking of this, Jing Xun felt that this battle would take many years to be effective.
……
Luan Country, Jingshui City.
Ten miles outside the city, 150,000 troops were stationed on the left road of Yunanjun Town, camping continuously for ten miles.
In the Chinese army camp, Han Lin, who was looking at the map and frowning in thought, suddenly opened his eyes wide after hearing the report from his subordinates, "The commander-in-chief led his troops to kill more than 50,000 enemy soldiers?"
His subordinates nodded with admiration in their eyes, "Exactly!"
Han Lin was immediately delighted, "As expected of the commander-in-chief, what a great victory!"
His tough face showed deep joy!
"Publish this news and let many soldiers know that our army has won a major victory!" Han Lin said loudly.
Here, he has been trapped in Jingshui City for five or six days. He has launched three or four attacks, but failed each time. He is afraid that his morale will weaken. Now that he has heard of a great victory, he naturally has to advertise it widely to boost his own morale.<
/p>
When his subordinates heard the words, they immediately responded, "I will finally understand!"
……
Outside Ying'an City, a place ten miles away.
The Chinese army camp, in the commander's tent.
Qin Yi stood at the main seat and looked at the sand table in front of him.
Many generals also gathered around and looked at the sand table.
"Commander, this city is tall and thick, and it relies on high mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we want to capture it, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." A guard frowned and said.
"Indeed, the city has many armaments, sufficient food and grass, and hundreds of thousands of guards. It is not suitable to attack forcefully." The general next to him agreed.
Qin Yi nodded gently, "If you want to capture this city, you can only do it wisely, not brute force."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a smile appeared.
Many generals saw it and were slightly surprised.
Could it be that... the commander-in-chief has come up with something?
Thinking of this, the generals were shocked.
They racked their brains and couldn't think of a suitable plan. Unexpectedly, the town commander had a plan in an instant.
After being surprised, the generals were relieved. The commander-in-chief was known for his resourcefulness, so it was not surprising that he could think of it.
I'm just curious whether the commander's plan can capture Ying'an City with relatively small losses.
You know, this city has the reputation of being an undefeated city!
……
"Cha! Cha! Cha!"
In Ying'an City, on the city wall, the city guard Zhao Ye is leading many generals to inspect the city defense.
The armor on their bodies made a harsh scraping sound with every step they took.
Suddenly, from a distance below the city, a horse galloped towards me. Looking at the clothes the rider was wearing and the flags he displayed, I knew he was from my own team. The soldiers guarding the city immediately gave the order to open the city gate.
Not long after, the scouts entered the city, quickly ran up the city wall, and reported urgently to Zhao Ye, "General, Qin Yi troops are approaching and setting up camp five miles outside the city!"
After hearing this, Zhao Ye understood that Qin Yi was about to start attacking the city, so he moved the camp closer for convenience.
Before he could say anything, another horse galloped from outside the city, its hooves cluttering and dust flying.
The scouts entered the city, ran up the city wall, and reported urgently, "General, the enemy troops are approaching in formation!"
After hearing this, Zhao Ye quickly said, "The enemy is about to attack the city, hurry up and get ready!"
With an order, the entire Ying'an City garrison took action. They climbed up to the city wall one after another, armed with hard bows and hot-oiled logs, waiting for the enemy to attack the city.
Zhao Ye supported the female wall and looked into the distance without any panic in his heart.
He believed that even Qin Yi would never be able to conquer the undefeated city!
After all, almost all of Qin Yi's many achievements were field battles, and only once he faced the city directly. And that time, he relied on a stratagem to massacre the bandits in the city if they refused to surrender, causing the bandits to start civil strife and then offer the city to beg for surrender.
It can be seen that attacking cities is not what Qin Yi is good at, so there is no need to worry that the city will be defeated.
Thinking like this, Zhao Ye saw groups of soldiers rushing in from a distance, forming a battle formation one mile away from Ying'an City.
Immediately afterwards, in the Linzhan battle formation, war drums sounded, and many soldiers screamed, pushing carts and ladders, and rushed towards Ying'an City.
Seeing Linzhan's soldiers rushing into the place where the arrow was shot, a loud shout was heard in Ying'an City, "Fire the arrow!"
Suddenly there was a loud whooshing sound, and arrows flew. Some of the soldiers who were watching were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground.
But the rest of the soldiers were still pushing the ladders and charging carts and running wildly.
After many soldiers fell, their comrades behind them rushed forward and rushed forward, gradually rushing to the bottom of the city. Shouting sounded from the city, "Prepare the hot oil and rolling logs!"
But at this moment, the sound of gold came from the Linzhan military formation.
As if the tide was ebbing, the soldiers retreated quickly with ladders and chariots.
The soldiers of the Luan Kingdom on the top of the city suddenly looked at each other.
This...the troops were withdrawn so soon?
Is the other party here to play?
Although it seems ridiculous, many soldiers from previous countries can feel that Qin Yi's siege ability is too average!
It’s like child’s play!
As a result, they laughed mockingly and didn't bother to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, an hour later, Linzhan soldiers rushed over and attacked the city again.
The guards of the previous country, under the command of the general who defended the city, fired arrows to defend against the enemy.
After the arrows hit and some corpses were left behind, the soldiers quickly retreated before they even got close to the city wall.
The officers and soldiers of the previous country were like a monk Zhang Er, confused and had no idea what Qin Yi wanted to do.
But after thinking about it, they understood that Qin Yi must have nothing to do, but because of the emperor's military order, he could only pretend to attack, so as not to be accused of dereliction of duty.
Thinking of this, many soldiers from the previous country became more and more contemptuous, secretly lamenting that this person only knew how to fight in the field, and if he changed to siege, his strength would be too mediocre.
Next, every hour, Linzhan soldiers came to attack the city. At first, the Ying'an City guards were quite vigilant and shot arrows to defend themselves against the enemy.
But after more than ten consecutive attacks on the city, Linzhan's soldiers retreated again before they could climb the city wall, leaving the Ying'an City defenders no longer vigilant at first. Seeing the enemy coming to attack, they sparsely fired a few arrows. Before the arrows hit a few people, the enemy retreated again.
It was like this all day long, so much so that when the Ying'an City guards heard the sound of Linzhan's war drums, they would laugh sarcastically and say to their colleagues, "These guys are running around, not only exhausted, but also throwing things away." Leaving a lot of corpses is just asking for trouble!"
