Zhao's army retreated again. After the rain, the sky cleared, and the Chu people's firearms advantage came again. If they continued to attack, it would only increase casualties and it would be meaningless.
Jiang Hong was obviously a little downcast as he sat in the first place.
They have been attacking the city for a whole day, but the rain stopped for you at this time. Who can bear this?
Although the timely damage caused by their withdrawal this time was not serious, it was undoubtedly another major blow to the morale of the entire army.
Their current strength has increased from 200,000 to more than 100,000, and he, as the coach, definitely has an unshirkable responsibility.
Are they really going to hang around here for a year or two and starve the rebels to death?
I know you are suppressing bandits, but you don’t know that you think you are encouraging the bandits to respect themselves and control military power!
The deputy general looked at Jiang Hong and said, "General, if it doesn't work, we should cross the river secretly at night and dig a tunnel."
Jiang Hongdao; "I'm sure the opponent must be prepared for things like digging tunnels! This tactic is common, but as early as the Warring States Period, there were relatively complete detection methods. Now that thousands of years have passed, this method of digging tunnels is scary.
It’s hard to do.”
The deputy general sighed and said: "But General, I'm afraid we have no other method available. Can we really surround here and starve the rebels in the city to death? At worst, we can dig a few more, as long as we
If there is one that has not been discovered by the enemy, it will be enough for our army to sneak into the city and attack it from the inside."
After Jiang Hong heard this, he finally nodded and said, "Now that the ladders and siege cones are ineffective, let's try this. Although we have lost a lot of troops, fortunately, the combat power is still that of the enemy."
Several times, we can afford to take this risk."
The deputy general immediately cupped his fists and said, "Yes."
After that, the deputy general went down.
Jiang Hong stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, sighing deeply.
Originally, he thought that annihilating the rebels this time would be easy for him, who was familiar with military books and had been a lieutenant general in the army for several years. If he won this victory, he would be able to transform into an army commander. Now it seems that he is really hopeful.
The greater the disappointment, the greater the disappointment.
He still thought of things too simply.
The damn rebels actually have firearms that even their imperial army does not have!
Shuzhou City
Although the rebels were very happy because they repelled an enemy attack once, they were not as happy as the last time. Last time, they captured a large number of people. It was a pity this time. They ran away before the kerosene could be transported.
Xiao Ye also immediately summoned all the generals to summarize the gains and losses of this battle.
After calculations by many participating generals and Xiao, the enemy's strength should be around 150,000 now. Although the strength of the rebel army has been somewhat reduced in the two battles, it has not only made up for it because of the capture of a wave of prisoners last time.
And it has grown slightly.
Now these captive troops have completed their training and can be incorporated into the army at any time. It can be said that not only did the rebels not suffer losses, they also made some profits...
At this time, Xu Qing had finished handling his official duties and put down his pen.
Xiao Ruxue immediately asked: "Husband, husband, have you finished handling today's affairs?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, it's done. The siege has stopped and we can rest for a few days. I'm thinking that it's best to end this war in winter. In that case,
It won’t disturb our family when they go back to celebrate the New Year.”
When Xiao Ruxue heard Xu Qing's words, she immediately got into Xu Qing's arms and sat on his lap. Xu Qing hugged Xiao Ruxue and pinched her little nose and said: "How are you? It's been so long since you left home.
, do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year?”
Xiao Ruxue leaned her head on Xu Qing's shoulder and said with a smile, "Home is wherever your husband is."
Xu Qing hugged Xiao Ruxue tightly and said, "Then we have to go back and see Mingyue Xuan'er and Ning'er. After spending the New Year at home, we can definitely bring them over to live next year, and also have a good look at a foreign country."
The local customs and customs.”
Xiao Ruxue said: "But the city of Shuzhou is not as good as Weizhou and even worse than Chang'an!"
Xu Qing said: "Don't Xue'er believe that your husband can turn Shuzhou into like Weizhou?"
Xiao Ruxue said coquettishly, "I believe what your husband said."
Xiao Ruxue is the only one in the family who needs to be pampered until she grows up, and of course Xu Qing is also willing to pamper her.
Even Long Bing'er was curious, how could Xiao Ruxue be so childish after being married for two years?
She and Xu Qing had only been married once, but they both felt that they were about to become women...
Xueer must have experienced a lot in the past two years, right? Why can she be like an unexperienced little girl, as innocent as she wants, as adorable as she wants...
Xiao Ruxue huddled in Xu Qing's arms and thought for a while, "Husband, husband, how about we have hot pot tonight? We haven't had hot pot for a long time."
Xu Qing said: "My dear husband, I will promise you as soon as I hear it."
Xiao Ruxue immediately put her lips to hers.
The little girl was as obedient as ever, and Xu Qing was very satisfied. But soon it was Xu Qing's turn to stare wide-eyed, as the girl actually stuck out her tongue.
And it’s as smooth and tender as ever…
There was no way the little girl could stick out her tongue so sincerely. Of course Xu Qing had to satisfy the little girl's wish to eat hot pot.
Since her wedding, the previous taboos with Xu Qing have disappeared, and she has become more and more bold. She wants to try everything when she is with Xu Qing...
Very brave...
Fortunately, Xu Qing controlled it well, otherwise the little girl's curious temper might have caused serious trouble.
You may not know what to do to yourself.
There is no doubt that Xiao Ruxue took in the homeless Xu Qing tonight.
Now Xu Qing is undoubtedly the most miserable person in the whole family.
Everyone has their own room. Long Bing'er not only has his own room but also occupies the study room. Xu Qing is the only one who has no fixed place to live until now.
Every day Xu Qing would go to anyone's door and ask her to show mercy and take him in.
Long Bing'er is very busy now. She is burdened with various government affairs every day. She goes to bed after eating when she returns home. She has not taken Xu Qing in for several days.
So every night, Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue could only take in Xu Qing, an idle husband.
It can be said to be quite miserable.
It was a dark night without a moon, and just as Xu Qing patted Xiao Ruxue's back to coax Xiao Ruxue to sleep, groups of people in night clothes quietly crossed the moat and sneaked under the city wall to dig tunnels.
As long as they dig enough, they won't believe that none of them will succeed!
As long as they can enter the interior from the tunnel entrance, they can cooperate internally and externally to capture Shuzhou City in one fell swoop!
The generals have already said that whichever team has the most secret tunnel that cannot be discovered by the enemy will be the winner in this battle!
