"Tian Zhen on the opposite side will launch an attack every two days, usually focusing on attacking the northern city wall."
"Since Qu Yangjun's army is strong, let's defend the north city wall to defend against the enemy. Once the Qi army starts to attack, the army of the few will fight first. If they are defeated, your army can come out to save the situation."
Hearing this, Hong Shitou nodded lightly with satisfaction.
Although I have the intention to fight this battle beautifully and achieve a record not inferior to that of the Shaohu Army...
But Hong Shitou is not willing to let Quyang's army be used as cannon fodder in front!
It's better to hide behind the Vietnamese army, and then shoot cold arrows when the war goes well, and then attack when the war goes badly——
It can not only effectively create damage, but also control casualties to the greatest extent.
Thinking of this, Hong Shitou cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has thought carefully and followed your orders!"
Si Jing suddenly changed his words: "However, the Qi army has slowed down its offensive in the past few days. It must be because it lacks stamina..."
"In the next ten days, I will be working with the general -"
"If there is any need, such as food or weapons... just talk to me, I have already told you - everything you ask for will be given to Qu Yangjun's tribe first!"
When Hong Shitou came with his troops, he had enough food, grass and arrows with him, so there was no need for Si Jing to provide anything else.
But Si Jing's words still made Hong Shitou feel relaxed and happy.
Hong Shitou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."
…
In the Qi army's camp, Tian Zhen stood with his sword in hand.
A group of Qi generals gathered in the tent, looking at Tian Zhen with different eyes.
The 100,000 Qi troops experienced traps, sneak attacks with cold arrows, and frequent attacks on their logistics... Finally, they reached Langya City, but suffered heavy casualties under the rain of arrows from the Vietnamese army...
Tian Zhen turned the battle into such a mess that all the hundreds of thousands of Qi soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the case in the military - no matter how high your position is, as long as you lose a battle, you will be looked down upon by your brothers in the military.
And on the other hand - no matter how low your status is, as long as you can lead your brothers to victory and meritorious service, you can still go home alive in the end...
That is the hero everyone hopes for!
"Generals, listen to the order -" Tian Zhen waved his hand in a deep voice.
"I would like to hear the general's order..." The generals in the tent responded sparsely.
Tian Zhen sighed in his heart.
This battle of his own was really successful.
But...you go ahead!
The Vietnamese army does not follow martial ethics and launches sneak attacks. What can I do?
There are mountain roads and forest roads everywhere for hundreds of miles, and we are fighting on someone else's home field. We are unfamiliar with the place... What can we do if we encounter a suicide attack by the Vietnamese army?
You said you want me to strengthen the food road guard? Those Yue barbarians didn't even care about their lives. They didn't even hold a knife in their hands. They rushed down screaming and threw torches on the baggage train...
What can labor and management do?
Not to mention reaching the foot of Langya City - I don’t know how those Yue people did it, they were covered with tens of thousands of arrows at every turn...
Even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, what can he do to such a fortified city?
Tian Zhen wanted to surround Langya and wait for the defenders inside to starve to death (he didn't know that Xiong Wuliang could transport supplies to Langya at sea)...
but……
"The king has a secret order - order us to strengthen our offensive and capture Langya as soon as possible!" Tian Zhen said -
"The three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han are in contact, and there are signs of establishing a coalition to attack Qin and Chu from the west!"
"Your Majesty wants us to capture the territory of Yuebei as soon as possible so that we can attack Chu from east to west!"
"Do you understand, generals?"
All the generals in the tent looked at each other, and there was silence.
Step up the offensive? How to strengthen?
Just risk the lives of the soldiers to fight the enemy's seemingly endless arrows?
Grandma!
Tian Zhen took a deep breath and his face became serious: "This is the king's order. If the second and third sons slack off, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!"
The generals of the Qi army looked at each other and had no choice but to hand over their hands: "I will obey the general's order..."
…
Hong Shitou held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, chewing a few rice grains in his mouth, lying casually on the edge of the battlement.
The Qianquyang army did not carry the flag of the Chu State, but replaced it with a cyan flag of the Yue State.
Under this flag, a thousand fully armed soldiers stayed in the shade at the top of the city.
This group of sergeants were wearing bright armor. The armor on their bodies and the short swords in their hands were shining with dazzling light, which was very eye-catching.
There was a Yue Army captain named Zhang San who couldn't stand it and said sarcastically in a low voice: "What's the air of those who are riding horses?"
Another captain of the Yue Kingdom smacked his tongue and said, "No wonder he is so arrogant. His combat prowess is indeed impressive."
"The Qi army attacked the city fiercely in the past few days. If it hadn't been for those Chu people, we probably wouldn't have been able to defend the northern city wall!"
Zhang San snorted coldly: "It's just because the armor is excellent - if we are given such equipment, we may not be worse than them!"
"Besides, the ones who had the strongest combat power before were a group called the 'Shaohu Army'."
"I heard that this group of people in front of me is called the 'Quyang Army' - they are probably much worse than the previous Shaohu Army!"
"I heard that Qu Yangjun has three thousand sergeants under his command - how can they all be as powerful and elite as the previous Shaohu Army? I guess among the three thousand sergeants, there are three, six or nine ranks..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang San suddenly felt that the daylight was getting darker.
Looking up, Zhang San was shocked!
At some point, a group of hateful-looking soldiers from Quyang surrounded him!
Hong Shitou had already sat up straight, his face looking very ugly——
Are you saying that our Quyang Army is not as good as those barbarians from the Shaohu Army?
For Qu Yangjun, this is a great humiliation!
Zhang San calmed down and snorted: "What, do you want to fight?"
"Aren't you convinced?"
"Quickly retreat!"
Zhang San has long disliked these Chu people!
Zhang San knew that this group of Chu people had manipulated Yue Wang Si Jing and had to ask for help from them, extorting a lot of money.
On the dock, large bundles of money and silk were transported away by the Chu people, which made Zhang San very unhappy!
Horse riding.
Those from other places come to Langya to beg for food!
"Go away! Don't hinder me from talking here, otherwise I will scold you, Qu Yangjun Mi Liang, the troubled one!" Zhang San said with a stinky face.
Hong Shitou stepped forward with a gloomy look on his face: "This captain, you have to apologize to me, Qu Yangjun."
Zhang San didn’t panic at all!
You, a small general with a thousand men, dare to make noise with me, a captain?
"The Quyang Army is just not as good as the Shaohu Army! That's what I said!"
"What about the stay?"
"I'm the captain of the school—do you dare to take action?"
Hong Shitou lost interest.
There is nothing to worry about with a Shabi who can't tell the situation when disaster is imminent.
"Beat--beat him until he is convinced." Hong Shitou waved his hand half-heartedly.
Soon, continuous screams came from the city wall...
If it hadn't been for the sudden horn blowing in the Qi army's camp to assemble an attack, the outlaws would have perished here...
One hundred thousand Qi troops held up the purple flag and formed a strict battle formation.
"Prepare for war! Prepare for war!" On top of Langya City, the messengers were running with great strides.
Hong Shitou's expression also became serious...
…
