Hearing Liu Rengui's words, Liu Renyuan smiled and said: "So, I did encounter a Japanese ship when I came here, and I came here after fighting with them!"

Liu Rengui's eyes lit up and he said, "Doesn't that mean that your Excellency has returned home with a great victory?"

"Returning with a big victory, I also lost two battleships, so it can't be considered a big victory! These Japanese people are quite capable!" Liu Renyuan said in a deep voice.

"I intercepted a Gaoguli fleet. You intercepted a Japanese fleet. Counting the one just now and the part on the shore, this should be their entire force. Now it's up to Langya County!

"Liu Rengui analyzed.

Liu Renyuan nodded. It is impossible to fight ashore. At sea, they have offshore ships and iron knots. But when they go ashore, these advantages are gone. Fighting with the enemy with real swords and guns is not what the navy should do.

thing.

In the north, after many days of repairs, Cheng Yaojin and others led the army towards the Turkic King's City. In order to avoid being discovered by the Turks in advance, they had to be prepared.

Cheng Yaojin and others did not gather together, but spread out and surrounded the royal city.

Everyone already knows how to build an igloo, and there is no need for Luo Zhang to instruct them. There is no shortage of supplies. Even if there is wind and snow, the entire army will not be nearly wiped out like last time.

Three days passed by in a flash. Although Luo Zhang, Cheng Yaojin and others deliberately avoided, the Turks did not notice their approach.

In the view of the Turks, the Tang army should have withdrawn from the Tang Dynasty by this time. Even if they wanted to attack them, they would have to wait until next year, so the Turk king did not send spies to investigate.

To the north of a hill thirty miles away from the Turkic King's City, the army of Luo Zhang, Cheng Yaojin and others all came here and gathered.

The army was recharging its strength, while Luo Zhang and the others were discussing how to attack in the woods.

There was a map of the Turkic King's City on the ground, and Luo Zhang, Cheng Yaojin and other generals were sitting together.

"I think it's better to besiege the city on all sides and attack by force! We are doing a surprise attack, so we will definitely catch the Turkic king by surprise!" Yuchi Jingde suggested.

"Besieging the city from all sides and attacking by force will cause too much damage. Even if we can catch the Turkic King by surprise at first, we will be in trouble by the time he reacts!" Hou Junji retorted.

"Hou Junji is right. It's not worthwhile to besiege on all sides. I think it's better to spread out than to attack one side. As long as we capture one side, we can take advantage of the situation and charge in!" Niu Jinda suggested.

"Luo Zhang, why don't you say anything? What do you think is the best way to attack the city?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Luo Zhang who was silent and said.

Luo Zhang glanced at everyone and said: "You are all experienced in the battlefield. I think your suggestions are very good. I will forget it."

"Luo Zhang, this is your fault. Although we are your uncles, we do not care about seniority on the battlefield. We will listen to whoever says the right thing. Your previous suggestion for the canyon battle was good. Why now?

Instead, he became humble and asked, "What do you think?" Cheng Yaojin patted Luo Zhang and said.

"That's it, tell me your suggestions. If your suggestions are good, we will all listen to you!" Yuchi Gong also agreed.

Others also looked at Luo Zhang, wanting to hear his opinion. After all, Luo Zhang's brains had been recognized by everyone in these battles. If Luo Zhang had any good suggestions, they would naturally listen to them.

"Since you all have praised me so highly, I can't be justified in being pretentious!" Luo Zhang said with a smile and cupped his hands to everyone.

"I think the suggestions from all the adults are not very good!" Now that he wanted to say it, Luo Zhangke was not very polite and rejected everyone's suggestions in the first sentence.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly stunned, with smiles on their lips. They were not angry because of Luo Zhang's words. On the contrary, they were very happy in their hearts. Since Luo Zhang said this, it meant that he had better suggestions.

It is their common goal to defeat the Turks. Otherwise, if they fail, not one person will suffer, but all of them.

Only by defeating the Turks could they gain merit, so after Luo Zhang said this, they were overjoyed.

"Hahaha, let me just say that Luo Zhang has a good idea. Tell me, what good idea do you have?" Cheng Yaojin laughed.

"Yes, Luo Zhang, tell me quickly, what is your solution?" Yu Chigong followed.

Luo Zhang picked up a branch nearby and pointed at the Turkic King's City and said: "Your Excellency's method is no problem for capturing the King's City, but as you said, the losses are too great. We have already fought against the Turks this time.

We have lost a huge loss of 100,000 yuan, which we can no longer afford. These 100,000 yuan represent 100,000 families who have lost their sons and husbands. I don’t know how to explain to the families of these families when I go back!"

"Although it is common for people to die in war, and there is no such thing as death in a war, how to reduce the number of deaths is a matter for us generals!"

"My lords, just thinking about besieging the city, have you forgotten that we still have sharp weapons that we haven't used yet?"

Hearing Luo Zhang's words, everyone felt very heavy. Yes, their losses in attacking the Turks this time were indeed too great. One hundred thousand people. This is their biggest loss. If they can't do everything this time,

I don't know how to face His Majesty when I get back home, and how to face the fathers and villagers who have lost their sons and husbands.

Luo Zhang's last words made them fall into deep thought, and Hou Junji was the first to think of it.

"You mean wooden bumps?" Hou Junji asked.

"Yes, we still have wooden knots, but are they useful for siege?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Everyone looked at Luo Zhang, wanting to hear what Luo Zhang had to say.

Luo Zhang smiled slightly and asked his soldiers to bring five wooden knots.

In front of everyone, Luo Zhang tied five wooden knots together, and at the same time entangled all the leads below, found a wooden stick, and tied the wooden knots to the top.

"One wooden knot may be useless, but if five of them are tied together and placed at the city gate, what effect will it have if the wooden knots are lit?" Luo Zhang raised the wooden knots in his hand and said.

Looking at the wooden stick in Luo Zhang's hand, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Hahaha, Luo Zhang, you still have a smart mind. Why didn't we think of such a method? The power of one wooden lump cannot blow up the city gate, but if five of them are tied together, the power is extraordinary!" Cheng Yaojin

Yang Tian laughed and said.

"Yes, if this thing is set on fire at the city gate, it will definitely blow a big hole in the city gate. Then we can drive straight in. The Turks will have no chance to resist!" Yuchi Gong agreed.

"This method is good. I think I will do a few more to make sure everything is foolproof!" Niu Jinda followed.
