"I followed Mr. Tan Shihuai to attack Lishi City in the past, and I know how tenacious the defenders of Lishi City are. I also personally participated in the attack on Lishi City, although it was a long time ago. So I know very well,
No matter how brave Sir Shi Le's troops are, it is impossible for more than 4,000 people to capture Lishi City, let alone tens of thousands of enemy troops in the city at this time."
As soon as he returned to the camp, Shi Kele immediately held a combat meeting in his camp. On the one hand, he wanted to summarize the lessons of today's offensive failure, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find an effective way to fight the enemy. After all, although the individual strength of the enemy's army was not as good as that of these grassland peoples,
His eyes are very weak, but with the help of the city wall and sharp weapons like the trebuchet, the balance of victory and defeat is not tilted obviously.
Of course, Shi Le, as the only one who had personal experience in the battle today, was also called to attend this meeting. However, as a loser, Shi Le was shamelessly ridiculed by a group of Jie tribe leaders who were close to Shi Kele. Some even said: "
Look at this barbarian who is always so self-righteous. Why did he come back with his head covered in blood? Oh, I made a mistake. His head is covered in blood. Hahahaha!!!"
After hearing these remarks and the blatant speech of the smug Shi Kele, Shi Le felt that he could no longer control his body shaking with anger. No one could see that on his deeply buried head, there were a pair of inscriptions engraved on it.
Eyes full of hatred, a pair of crazy eyes that vowed to take revenge even if they had to step into the Asura Hell.
"But why didn't I stop Mr. Shi Le's actions? Because most of the people who followed Mr. Tan Shihuai to Lishi City last time have passed away due to various reasons. Many people don't know how terrible Lishi City is.
Think that the Han people are weak and can be bullied. In order to make you fully realize the error of this idea, I did not block this attack, just to let you learn a lesson. Especially Mr. Shi Le, relying on the power of numbers, is too arrogant.
, so you must suffer once.”
Although he couldn't see those hateful eyes, as long as he saw Shi Le's current performance, Shi Kele could guess what Shi Le was thinking about now, but now Shi Le had become a hero who had lost his wings.
Ying could no longer be Shi Kele's opponent, not to mention that Shi Le's remaining wealth had been given to the Huns by him.
"Well, I still want to connect outsiders to fight against me. Let's see what happens to you. Let's see whose hands will destroy your tribe."
Seeing Shi Le's unwilling appearance, Shi Kele felt very happy, so he made a rather surprising decision.
"We were defeated in the first battle. Although this was expected, Shi Le, your defeat was too humiliating for our ancestors, and it also hurt the morale of our army. Tell me, Shi Le.
Sir, what kind of punishment should you receive?"
Listening to Shi Kele's triumphant tone, Shi Le secretly took deep breaths several times before finally not bursting out with the urge to draw a knife and kill someone on the spot. He knew very well that he had now become a piece of meat on the opponent's chopping board, and he could do whatever he wanted to do with it.
, which of the fried, fried, and boiled methods will be used in the end depends entirely on the opponent's mood. The loser should have the consciousness of the loser.
As a result, his head, which had been lowered all the time, lowered even further. The people around him could only hear a cold reply of "Shi Le, I'll just let it happen", and could not see the expression of this old man who had entered the twilight years of his life.
"Okay. It stands to reason that such a huge defeat should be punished with death. However, Master Shi Le can be regarded as a hero who has made great contributions to our Jie tribe, so even if the merits and demerits are equal, the death penalty is not necessary. However, the punishment is still necessary. In order to show the Shi Le tribe
In order to express my sincerity, I have decided that all the belongings looted by the mortal men and horses in this attack on Lishi City will not be kept, and all will be handed over to the Jie Clan Supreme Alliance Assembly. The position of elder of the Jie Clan Supreme Alliance Assembly will be transferred to Ketuo.
General, what do you gentlemen think?"
Everyone whispered for a while and felt it was acceptable, so Shi Kele finally eliminated his biggest rival in the Jie Clan from the Jie Clan's ruling class. From now on, the Jie Clan will be one voice, one thought, and one action.
guide.
As for the others, this punishment basically has nothing to do with them. The troops of the Shile tribe have been maimed. If Lishi City is destroyed, they may not gain much. Even if they can take advantage of some tricks to occupy some places with oil and water, I am afraid that other tribes will not be able to gain much.
It can also be snatched from their hands. As for the position of the elder of Shi Le, there may be some people who were originally interested in it, but as soon as Shi Kele announced Ketuo's name, everyone understood that this chief of the Jie tribe wanted to take over.
What idea did you have?
As for Shi Le's life, Shi Kele gently lowered the guillotine he raised high. This was not a pity for the enemy, but to avoid further irritating the tribes who had long been dissatisfied with them.
If there is civil strife in the Jie tribe's troops, then Shi Kele's trip will really be worth the loss. After all, he still hopes to break away from Li Shicheng and establish a higher prestige.
"Okay, now let's discuss the next war. Through this attack, I discovered a big problem. Great Chief, don't you think the Han people in Lishi City are more powerful than you said before? This
I am afraid that even the frontier troops guarding the Huns can't do this kind of defense that can almost completely wipe out our powerful tribe in just a few moments."
A young voice suddenly remembered in the tent. For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted by this guy who dared to interrupt in front of Shi Kele. From the voice, it can be known that this is a very young tribesman. You must know that now
Even the elders of Shi Kele's generation in the Jie tribe no longer dared to interrupt Shi Kele so harshly.
Speaking of which, Shi Kele had been immersed in the joy of being able to defeat Shi Le's tribe, so he basically didn't pay attention to the Han army's fighting style. He just watched Shi Le's men and horses arrive quickly, and then secretly celebrated in his heart. The result.
Now facing the question from this young voice, he could only glance in the direction of Li Shicheng with a confused look, and said a vague "hmm".
Seeing that Shi Kele did not show any angry expression because of the young man's interruption, the hearts of everyone present were churning. It was obvious that this young man was a very important person.
Everyone present knew the descendants of Shi Kele, but the person in front of them was an unfamiliar face. However, combined with the rumors circulating from within the Jie Clan Royal Court, many people thought of some possibility, so they looked at the young man.
People's eyes are filled with awe.
"Tell me your opinion." Shi Kele didn't know when he withdrew his gaze, and at the same time looked at the young man with encouraging eyes.
"Actually, before we sent out the army, the chief had mentioned to me that when we attacked the Han people's city before, we had seen rocks falling from the sky, but they were all big rocks and could kill one or two people at most. As long as our general
If we don't use the strength of the whole team to resist, it won't cause much damage. But this time it is completely different. What we see is not a big stone, but a rain of stones from the sky. Although the stone is small, it has a large impact area.
, so most of the people in the Shi Le Division were injured and fell off their horses, or their horses were frightened and thrown off. However, the people behind had to avoid these fallen warriors, which caused slow movement. As for the white smoke, I'm afraid it was
A kind of cover in order to make the trajectory of the stones more unpredictable. And because of the city wall, the riding bows in the hands of our warriors cannot be compared with the Han archers standing on the city wall. As a result, we have a fairly long distance in a certain area.
Within a short period of time, it became completely passive and was beaten, so no one could rush to the city."
At this point, the young man sighed as if he was a little helpless and could not bear the sacrifice of the Jie tribe warriors. Then he paused for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then continued to descend.
"According to your Majesty, when your Majesty and Mr. Tan Shihuai charged, the Han people's city did not bring us such heavy losses. The charge of 5,000 people only lost less than 1,000 people. This was after passing through the city.
The number of battles above our heads. But look at this time, almost the entire army was wiped out. This only shows that the Han people's methods have become more powerful."
Because of the speculation about the young man's identity, no one interrupted the young man's long speech and listened carefully to his analysis of the battle situation. Some people even couldn't wait to think about it after hearing the young man's analysis.
"Yes, that's really good. Hele, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge at such a young age. I'm afraid that the famous Japanese law deduction among the Xianbei people can't be better than you."
After listening to the young man He Le's analysis, Shi Kele applauded and laughed, and even compared it with the daily rhythm deduction of the Xianbei wise man who was appointed by Tan Shihuai as the successor of He Le. He was obviously very satisfied with He Le's performance.
"Okay, now that you have analyzed everything clearly, what should we do to deal with this kind of tactics of the Han people?"
Shi Kele asked the key to the matter. Although he was experienced in the battlefield and had a flexible mind, he already had his own case, but he still hoped that this young man whom he was extremely optimistic about could perform better.
"I have a solution that is not a solution." He Le said with a bitter smile on his face. But then he saw Shi Kele's encouraging eyes, which made the young man have a new feeling called trust.
strength.
"I think since the stones used by the Han people are small and they can't kill a few people, my solution is that we just use more people. Anyway, there are many of us. Since he can't kill our warrior, even if he is slightly injured, he can get up and fight again.
The Han people don’t have as many bows and arrows as we do. Sooner or later we will be able to capture it. As long as we can scale the city wall, those weak Han troops will no longer be an obstacle to our Jie tribe warriors. I wonder what the chief thinks of this method.
?”
Using numbers and human lives to fill this "death zone" that is extremely painful for the Jie people, Hele's strategy can be said to be quite ruthless, which makes all the tribal leaders look at this young man with even more awe.
.
"Okay, that's it. Each tribe organizes its own troops and lines up. Following Ketuo's command, each group of five thousand people will attack Lishi City in rotation. If you don't rush in tomorrow, you won't be able to rest."
Although this proposal is a bit cruel to the Jie tribe, a nation with a small population, Shi Kele, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, knows that if you want to break through a well-defended city, you must pay some losses, otherwise if you spend little by little
Going down would be even more detrimental to him, so he decisively agreed to Hele's suggestion.
Of course, this also indicates that tomorrow's battle will become extremely cruel and tragic.
