At almost a similar time period, Zhao Hongrun was secretly regretting that he should not have used a method far beyond the wisdom of this era to destroy the city wall of Suxian County, so that trouble came to his door.
On the side of the Qi Army, in the tent of Tian Dan, the commander of the East Route Army, General Dong Guo of the Langye Army, General Zhong Sunsheng of the Northern Navy, Zou Ji, the deputy general of the Donglai Army who temporarily replaced the general, and several other generals,
At this moment, they were all sitting quietly in the handsome tent, silent.
Although there were many people in the handsome tent, no one spoke, so the atmosphere in the handsome tent was extremely solemn.
The reason for all this is that Ji Run, the coach of the Wei Army on the West Route, used a strange move that they still cannot understand and successfully destroyed the city wall of Suxian County.
And those generals of the Qi army who were still laughing at the Wei army and Zhao Hongrun before were now even red-faced and full of shame.
Looking at the expressions of these people, one can only say that it is fortunate that Zhao Hongrun is not here at this moment, otherwise, these generals might be so ashamed that they would draw their swords and kill themselves.
"call……"
A sound of exhalation sounded in the silent handsome tent.
Everyone in the tent turned around and saw that the person who made the noise was none other than Tian Dan, the commander-in-chief of their Eastern Route Army.
"Tian Shuai..."
Zhongsun Sheng, the general of the Northern Navy, looked at Tian Dan with expectant and eager eyes, opened his mouth several times, but stopped talking.
Perhaps guessing Zhongsun Sheng's thoughts, Tian Dan shook his head and said with a heavy heart: "Tian has been thinking hard for nearly an hour, but he still can't figure out how Ji Run can destroy the city wall of Suxian County.
To that point."
After saying these words, Tian Dan suddenly felt a sense of relief.
Wei Gongzi Run... no, he should be King Su of the Wei Kingdom. He is really a worthy man despite his great reputation!... This son is really not simple!
Tian Dan raised his neck and adjusted his sitting posture, and sighed secretly.
I remember that Tian Dan also inadvertently despised Zhao Hongrun, because in his opinion, Zhao Hongrun was only sixteen years old, and he was born in the court of the Wei State and was the son of the Wei State.
Become a commander who is good at fighting?
If such absurd things really existed in the world, wouldn't everyone be able to be a general?
However, what he saw and heard today made Tian Dan finally believe what Jizhao, the current left prime minister of Qi, said: My brother Hongrun is ten times as talented as me!
Ji Zhao, also known as Zhao Hongrun's brother Zhao Hongrun, had lived in Qi for more than a year, and with the help of King Lu Xi of Qi, he usually met with Tian Dan, Tian Tao and other people who supported the Lu family of Qi King.
The important ministers in the country came into contact, so Tian Dan naturally learned the talents of the new left prime minister.
Tian Dan only had eight words to comment on Ji Zhao: He is a genius, unique in the world!
Therefore, when Ji Zhao smiled and said those words to praise his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun, Tian Dan didn't take it seriously at all.
Because in Tian Dan's view, Ji Zhaonai is a rare talent that has been rare in decades. He is knowledgeable in literary skills, political strategy, and law. He can also perform very beautiful swordsmanship, although his lethality is not worth mentioning.
It seems that it is not enough for Wei to have such a genius, but there is another one?!
Tian Dan never believed that God was so partial to Wei.
But the facts proved that he was wrong. God's favoritism towards Wei was definitely unreasonable.
Think about their Qi State. Since King Lu Xi of Qi ascended the throne, Qi State has conquered Korea in the north, conquered Chu State in the south, and dominated the Central Plains. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no king in the world who can surpass King Lu Xi of Qi.
.
But such a wise king not only lived a short life, but also gave birth to several sons, but none of them became successful.
On the other hand, the Wei State just migrated from the distant Longxi. It took hundreds of years to gain a foothold in the Central Plains and become a small foreign country in the Central Plains. Not only did there appear Ji Si, who was not as good as King Lu Xi of Qi, but also
The kings are almost the same. What is even more annoying is that it is said that none of the nine sons born to Ji Si are mediocre.
Especially the fourth son Ji Zhao and the eighth son Ji Run are simply monsters!
Although Tian Dan had lost to Ji Zhao in the literary talent test before, he didn't feel any frustration at that time. After all, his main job was to be a general, and secondly, he was a minister of Qi State.
But today, Tian Dan sadly discovered that he had once again lost to the people of Wei Guoji's Zhao family, and this was in his best position of leading troops to fight.
He was unwilling to give in, but he had nothing to do because he had been thinking hard for almost an hour and still could not figure out how Zhao Hongrun made a big hole in the northern city wall of Suxian County.
Is it really dependent on fire?
As soon as this idea appeared in Tian Dan's mind, he rejected it without hesitation.
How can fire burn down rocks? This is something everyone knows!
It has to be said that the competition between Tian Dan and Zhao Hongrun was lost at the starting line and due to the limitations of this era.
If it were Zhao Hongrun, he would think that fire can actually burn rocks. Note: The "fire" here is actually a more accurate term for high temperature.
But it's no wonder that Tian Dan can't understand the mystery. After all, fire can't burn rocks. This is the consensus of the world in this era.
So when the Wei army piled up a large amount of firewood on the northern city wall of Suxian County, as if trying to burn the city wall, it was not just the Qi army generals who laughed at Wei Jun's "stupid move", but also the Chu soldiers on the Suxian city wall at that time.
Laughed at this.
But what about now?
The Chu troops in Suxian County had no time to cry, because the city wall destroyed by the Wei army was a big hole that was enough to make the entire Suxian County fall.
If it hadn't been for the heavy rain that day, which was not conducive to fighting and fighting, perhaps as long as the Wei army launched a general attack at that time, the Chu army in Suxian County, which had just suffered a psychological blow, might really have lost the battle.
However, the current situation is not bad: although the Wei army has withdrawn its troops, the Chu army has no way to properly repair the large hole they made in the city wall of Suxian. In other words, the Wei army can attack Suxian at any time.
When he thought about this, Tian Dan couldn't help but sigh again.
Suxian was difficult to fight, and the Chu general Wu Yuan who guarded Suxian was not a soft persimmon. Therefore, Tian Dancai chose to use the stupidest method: creating a flaw in the city wall that Suxian used as a refuge.
In his opinion, as long as the city wall of Suxian collapsed, it would not only severely damage the morale of the Chu army in the city, but also help the West Route Army and East Route Army break through the current deadlock.
Therefore, he not only used all the catapults supervised by the craftsmen of Lu State, but also had his soldiers work day and night, and finally assembled hundreds of catapults.
The gods were pitiful. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of hundreds of catapults from their Qi army, the fortress-level city wall in Suxian County finally collapsed slightly.
But at that time, Tian Dan did not take the opportunity to attack, because he knew very well that if he only attacked a local area, it would be difficult to succeed even if the opponent had a vulnerability.
Therefore, he hoped that Zhao Hongrun could see his plan that day and create a loophole in the other three city walls of Suxian County.
Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun has a good vision. He immediately understood Tian Dan's intention and successfully opened up the situation at the North City Wall of Suxian County.
But here comes the problem: the Qi army used hundreds of catapults and consumed countless polished stone bullets, and finally created a gap of about 20 to 30 feet in the southern city wall of Suxian County; while the Wei army on the west route,
However, with the help of coach Ji Run's incredible tricks, almost half of the northern city wall was destroyed.
Compare the two and make a judgment.
What's even more terrible is that when the Qi army was proud of their "progress", there were piles of stone bullets that the Qi army had used to smash the city walls. These things have now become obstacles for the Qi army to attack Suxian.
As for the section of wall destroyed by the Wei army in the northern city wall of Suxian, apart from the rocks that built the wall, there was only a layer of ashes left after countless firewood was burned, ensuring the smooth flow of the offensive route to the greatest extent.
.
Which one is higher or lower?
It's no wonder that Tian Dan can no longer feel proud, and all the generals of the Qi army in the tent also have their heads drooped.
Because they lost completely.
What makes them feel most ashamed and angry is that they still can't figure out how they lost.
I don’t know how long it took, but maybe Tian Dan saw that the morale of the generals in the tent was low, so he calmed down and said, "Okay, everyone... Although, well, in short, the Wei army was as successful as we estimated.
The northern city wall of Suxian County has been destroyed. As a result, Suxian County has two flaws, one in the north and one in the south. The city can be conquered soon!"
After that, he paused and told the tactics he had been planning for many days: "If we are dealing with ordinary Chu generals, one move to the east and to the west is enough! But Wu Yuan is not an ordinary general, so our army must do the opposite.
Let's go!...Tomorrow day, our army will still be in Suxian County
The offensive was launched in the southern suburbs. The gap in the southern city wall of Suxian County that collapsed was relatively narrow. Maybe the Chu army would rush to repair it day and night. Therefore, the main purpose of the attacking vanguard army tomorrow day will be to clear the path of advance, so that our army can attack Su County at night.
The county’s night raid removes obstacles.”
The generals remained silent, probably because they had not yet recovered from the huge blow.
Seeing this, Tian Dan, who had no one to say anything to help him, had no choice but to speak again and continue to describe the tactics: "During the night attack, our army first launched a feint attack on the south wall of Suxian County. Wu Yuan was not a fool. Seeing that our army chose a small gap,
The southern city wall, instead of choosing a large swath of the collapsed northern city wall
, will inevitably doubt whether this is our army's attack on the east and west, so we deployed heavy troops in the city in the north city... We are just going to take advantage of his suspicion and take action in the opposite direction. Waiting for the feign attack army to attack the north city wall to be attacked by the Chu army
After the resistance, our army immediately stormed the south city wall!"
"..." The generals in the tent were silent.
It is true that Tian Dan's tactics were arranged very well, and he even took into account the psychology of Chu general Wu Yuan. Therefore, the chance of capturing Suxian County in a night attack should be said to be very high.
However, the generals of the Qi army in the tent were not happy at all.
Because no matter how obscure Tian Dan said it, he could not hide that the Qi army on the east route "borrowed" the flaw created by the Wei army on the west route in the northern city wall of Su County. To put it more bluntly, if Tian Dan's counterattack from the east to the west could succeed
, that is why Wu Yuan, the defender of Suxian County, instinctively believed that the breach in the northern city wall would pose a greater threat to them.
In other words, it is the credit of the Wei army, or the credit of the Wei prince Ji Run.
And what their Qi army did was nothing more than icing on the cake and stealing the results of the Wei army in the west.
What's there to be happy about?
Even for the arrogant generals of Qi, this is simply a shame!
Seeing this, Tian Dan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What is more important, honor or victory? In the army, forget your status as nobles, you are now the generals of our great Qi! ...
In order to win, you must do whatever it takes!"
After a pause, Tian Dan said again: "Or are you willing to give up the opportunity to save some face and give up the credit to the Wei army, and let the latter laugh at the incompetence of our army?"
After hearing this, the eyes of the generals in the tent finally showed a little bit of anger and fighting spirit. (To be continued.)
