Ke Yan said, "Why bother?" Suddenly Luda's upright corpse fell to the ground, and his body full of arrows happened to cover the piece of brick where Keyan poured his drink.
Ke Yan was startled and stared blankly at Hu Luda's body. He glanced at the wine bag in his hand again, hesitated, and took off another wine bag that he had carried with him for many years from his waist. He looked at Hu Luda respectfully. On Da's chest, he raised his head and looked at the soldiers beside him.
"Let's give him a good burial.
Although everyone has his own master, for such a person, even if we are enemies, we have to respect his character. "
"Got the order!"
"General, look what this is."
Ke Yan heard the soldiers cleaning the battlefield shouting at him, got up and walked over.
What came into view was the soldiers carrying thick ropes. Every two feet on the ropes, there was a straw man wearing armor and a straw man made of wooden sticks.
Ke Yan took the straw man that the soldier handed him after cutting the rope with his sword. He frowned slightly and looked at the lifelike straw man in his hand, which was the same size as an ordinary person. He let out a breath.
No wonder that during the tentative attack on the city the day before yesterday, the troops on the city wall were crowded and powerful, but they were so strong on the outside and weak on the inside during the counterattack.
It turned out that the Jin guards on the city wall who did not retreat at all from the artillery fire were not real people, but dummies controlled by ropes.
The city wall is tall, and the smoke is billowing. Even if the straw man wrapped tightly in armor can't see clearly even if he has a telescope in his hand.
Looking at the dilapidated and worn-out armors on these straw men, Ke Yan handed the straw men to the soldiers on the side with a sad expression. He looked around at the smoke billowing on the Songzhou city wall with an expression that was indescribable. .
Not only Keyan, many generals who climbed onto the city wall also discovered the straw men who were pretending to be real beside the real corpses of the Jin Kingdom soldiers.
Yunyang took over the military tactics from Sima and started reading them, with a solemn look on his brows.
There are only 8,000 real Jin Kingdom guards in Songzhou, but there are as many as 20,000 straw men on the four walls.
No wonder it was like this yesterday.
"Commander, after this attack on the city, coupled with yesterday's battle plan, more than 1,100 of our brothers were killed, more than 4,600 were slightly injured, and more than 2,000 were seriously injured.
The battle damage was expected. "
"Commander, the last general has led a thorough investigation of Songzhou City. There is not a single Jin Kingdom citizen in the city. Apart from the eight thousand guards, the huge Songzhou City is an empty city.
Except for things that cannot be taken away, such as the house, there is nothing that can be taken away.
The food and grass seized were even pitiful.
These eight thousand Jin Kingdom soldiers obviously had no intention of going back. "
"Report, report to the commander-in-chief.
Eight thousand Jin Kingdom guards were all killed in the battle, and no one survived.
All...all died on the way to the killing, and no one was hit by an arrow in the back. "
Yunyang handed the battle report in his hand to a group of generals around him to read, sighed and shook his head.
"They are all tough guys, but it's a pity that they can't be used by my dragon.
Order the three armies to give him a grand burial.
Renovate for one day and march to Jizhou the day after tomorrow.
I'm going to prepare a battle report. "
"We have the order!"
The generals looked at Yunyang who looked regretful and walked towards the city. They began to perform their duties and sort out the results of the battle in Songzhou City.
Yunyang's army quickly captured Songzhou, one of the twelve border cities of the Jin Kingdom, in one day.
The other army led by Deputy Commander Wan Mingliang was not slow at all in attacking Muzhou.
Although it was not as fast as the Yunyang side, when the sun set over the Western Mountains, Muzhou City of the Jin Kingdom became in danger under the offensive of the army.
Even if Muzhou City cannot be captured today, it will be possible to enter the city early tomorrow and clear out the remaining enemies.
Building up the defense of Muzhou City Ji Muhu seemed to be like the general of Songzhou city defense, Hu Luda, who was determined to defend Muzhou to the death.
Maximize the use of Dalong's enemy's artillery and block the army's march to the north.
Even though they knew that Muzhou City was in danger under the mighty attack of Dalong's troops, the Yunshan Guards led by Ji Muhu still led the remaining soldiers under their command to desperately defend the enemy's offensive below the city.
General Yun Chong of the Huben Army put down his telescope to observe the movements of the guards on the city wall, walked to Wan Mingliang and stopped next to him.
"Deputy Commander, please withdraw your troops. It's getting late and it won't be easy to attack the city. Let's attack the city with all our strength tomorrow morning."
Wan Mingliang looked up at the sky and nodded helplessly.
"Send the order and withdraw the troops with gold."
"Got the order!"
"The deputy commander has an order, call the gold and withdraw the troops!"
"The deputy commander has an order, call the gold and withdraw the troops!"
The sound of huge gold foil resounded outside the city. Under the cover of the siege dragon troops and horses, the front team changed to the rear team and evacuated the battlefield towards the location of the military camp.
"Ding He obeys the order!"
"The end will be here."
"You lead the rear army brothers and find a way to level all the rugged places outside the city. Tomorrow morning, don't block the progress of artillery vehicles, siege vehicles, and catapults because of these foreign objects like today."
"Got the order!"
After Ding He left, Wan Mingliang looked around at the terrain outside Muzhou City, looking at Yunchong aside with a hint of helplessness in his brows.
"Compared with the flat Songzhou, the rugged Muzhou is easier to defend and harder to attack. There are too many restrictions on siege equipment.
I don’t know how the commander-in-chief’s offensive against Songzhou is going. "
"Deputy Commander, the general thinks that when we attack the city tomorrow, we should abandon the attack on the east and north gates and concentrate our forces on the west and two difficult gates.
You have also seen the situation of today's battle. The brothers from the west and south gates all attacked the city, but not even half of the brothers from the east and north gates reached the city.
Especially the east gate, which is littered with rocks, has almost no place for the brothers to stand except for the small official road.
The artillery on the Jin Army's city wall can easily seize the opportunity.
In this case, I think it is better to concentrate our forces and concentrate on dealing with the west and south gates. "
Wan Mingliang pondered for a while and shook his head silently.
"Brother Yun, your idea is good, but you have ignored our military strength.
Relying only on two city gates, our troops cannot be spread out. Secondly, the formation is too dense, which will allow the artillery on the Jin Kingdom's city wall to find opportunities to bombard the large groups of troops. "
Yun Chong thought for a moment and nodded silently: "That's true! What if there is a feint attack at the east and north city gates? Just contain the troops on the city wall."
"This is doable. Let's use this to attack the city tomorrow.
I don't know what the arrangement of the two brothers Nangong Ye and Lu Chengjie is in Xingzhou.
Can the Turkic reinforcements be taken by surprise? "
Yun Chong took out the map from his arms and placed it in front of himself and Wan Mingliang.
"Songzhou and Xingzhou are both bordering the Turkic border, and the commander-in-chief launched a massive attack on Songzhou.
According to the flat terrain outside Songzhou City, the Turkic cavalry will never engage in a fierce battle with our cavalry in Songzhou. Their equipment does not have any advantage.
In this way, Xingzhou is the best route for them to enter the Kingdom of Jin.
Brother Nangong and the others have a very high chance of succeeding in ambush outside Xingzhou City. "
"I'm just afraid that the Turkic Taichang Khan may have guessed our intention to divide our troops into three groups, so he will not use troops according to common sense and take a long detour to Jinzhou.
Although this little girl is not very old, she is very good at using soldiers.
With his senior brother, our side by side king can be said to be between brothers.
Wisdom does not lie in age.
Not to be underestimated! "
"They are hundreds of miles away, so let's not worry about them, let's just take care of ourselves first!"
