Three days passed in the blink of an eye. After Meng Tian received information about Jincheng and Ying Zige, and with Jia Xu's approval, he immediately gathered a large army to surround Jincheng, recalling the troops scattered throughout Jincheng County along the way.
of sand, an army of more than 35,000 people tightly surrounded the entire Jincheng.
"Why do we keep fighting more and more?" Outside Jincheng, Meng Tian's camp looked at the statistics of troops and horses handed to him by the deputy general after the troops from all walks of life gathered together. Meng Tian asked in surprise, "Where did these extra troops come from?"
of?"
"General, in accordance with the instructions of the military advisor, all the soldiers and horses we have distributed have the right to recruit troops and take prisoners for their own use. In Jincheng County, in addition to attacking Cheng Gongying's defense line, the brothers from all walks of life are doing some small business.
After going back and forth, I gathered many victims and bandits who wanted to become soldiers.
Horse bandits, plus the soldiers who surrendered from Cheng Gongying's troops and surrendered willingly, there are many more!" The deputy general knew that if he reported it, Meng Tian would definitely ask, so he did his homework in advance.
He asked clearly. When he heard the question, he replied without any hesitation.
"Uh!" Meng Tian was stunned again. Good guy, since Jia Xu came to his army, he has felt a little strange about his soldiers and horses. The clear-minded guy in front of him is really the honest and honest person he is.
Lieutenants? What other military commanders were assigned to serve as commanders? Why do they always feel like they have released a group of human traffickers, and after beating them, more and more people were given away.
"Got it! Wen He, what do you think we should do now?" Meng Tian, who had been thinking about it for a while but couldn't come up with a reason, simply shook his head. In short, this is a good thing, why bother? He dismissed the lieutenant and looked towards
While closing his eyes to the God of Hell, Jia Xu asked, "Now
There are still about 20,000 troops in Cheng Gongying, plus the family soldiers of various wealthy families in Jincheng, we should be able to make up the number of 25,000. We also have 35,000 troops now. You should talk about your future.
Have you made a plan? How to take this golden city? You can't attack it by force, right?"
Speaking of which, as one of the most loyal and capable generals around the First Emperor of Qin, Meng Tian was able to command 300,000 Meng troops to garrison and build the Great Wall, and at the same time, he could also resist the oppressive Xiongnu army that was still in a strong state. Meng Tian's abilities are naturally needless to say.
After his resurrection, both the formation and use of the Golden Fire Cavalry and his independent performance under Ying Zige were worthy of his reputation.
However, in this world, you have to admit that there are people who feel like old friends at first sight, such as Jia Xu and Meng Tian, an extremely resourceful and slippery poisonous warrior, and a taciturn, steady and coercive general. In the short time they spent together, they seemed to
Like old friends, they quickly got rid of all defenses against each other.
The steady Meng Tian turned into a vulgar general who laughed and cursed unscrupulously in front of Meng Tian. In front of Meng Tian, Jia Xu also took off the poisonous warrior mask he had just put on and turned into the former one who was afraid of death and had better pretend to be a pig.
The fat man who eats tigers deliberately plays cold jokes with Meng Tian from time to time, which is comfortable and natural.
If the two of them felt weird at first and wanted to re-establish their defenses, then after a period of tacit cooperation, the two of them lost their thoughts on this aspect and began to enjoy the way they get along now.
road.
"Hey, there's no need to ask, we're not here for tourism!" Jia Xu seemed to have not heard what Meng Tian said behind him, he waved his hand casually, pointed in the direction of Jincheng and said, "You've already said that,
Countless letters have been sent in to persuade him to surrender. Since he is a noble and ignorant person, why don’t we give him some color and wait until he takes the initiative to ask for surrender?"
"Uh!" Meng Tian had a dark look on his face, looking at Jia Xu's pretentious look and said in a deep voice, "I know that we are going to fight, but how to fight. I have already said that Chenggong Yingjin City can organize 25,000 people now."
The soldiers and horses came out, but we only had 35,000 soldiers and horses. This was a siege.
You can't attack one after another, right? Let's not talk about the casualties. I am also skeptical about whether we can take Jincheng in the end. You only said before that you should get them all back to Jincheng first, and then catch them all in one fell swoop. What is this net?
Tell me quickly so I can have someone arrange it!"
"What network?" Jia Xu nodded, asked with a puzzled look, and then said seriously, "Didn't I say that? Gather them first, and then catch them all. Not all of them are in Jincheng now."
If you are caught in the net, you can just come down and hit. What kind of net do you need?"
"Wen He, stop making trouble! The army is waiting outside!" Meng Tian felt that Jia Xu was not joking, but he couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed Jia Xu's shoulders and shook him, "Just hit him? Wen He, don't tell me
You don't understand the principle of siege warfare and tenfold siege. Our 35,000 soldiers and horses stormed a fortified city that was garrisoned by 25,000 soldiers and horses! What's going on? What's going on? Tell me quickly,
How to fight!"
"Hehe! General Meng is also anxious sometimes!" Looking at Meng Tian's anxious expression, Jia Xu smiled faintly, then nodded and said, "I'm not kidding you, what we have to do now is to attack by force, but in a different way.
That’s all, you first ask the brothers to pile up a mountain of earth, add the dozens of catapults that the Lord asked you to take with the army, and smash them for two days first.”
"Huh?!" Looking at Jia Xu's determined expression, Meng Tian understood that this time Jia Xu was indeed not joking and said, "Wen He, although the catapult given by the lord is indeed a weapon for siege, under this situation, even if
With its cooperation, under a strong attack, our damage will still be too great, which is not advisable!"
"Idiot, General Meng, you're showing off your head!" Jia Xu laughed and cursed, pretending to be confused, and then looked at Meng Tian who looked confused and said, "I already told you to attack in a different way! Just throw rocks at your heart,
I didn’t ask you to lead people up! How could there be any damage?”
"Huh!?" Meng Tian was stunned, "A strong attack without anyone?"
"That's right!" Jia Xu nodded.
"But...!" Meng Tian hesitated for a moment. Although he already understood that Jia Xu must have something planned in his mind, Meng Tian still couldn't help but want to ask for clarification.
"But what, have I ever made you suffer?" Before he finished speaking, Jia Xu interrupted with an impatient look.
"That's not true! But..." Meng Tian said.
"Stop being hesitant! If not, just do it quickly. I guarantee you that as long as you follow my plan, I will let you sleep in the golden city for at most seven days!"
As soon as the words fell, Jia Xu closed his eyes to regain his composure, and waved his hands with a look on his face that said, "I've said it clearly enough, please do it quickly, don't waste time arguing with me here."
