All the generals agreed that even if this infantry was really a decoy, it was enough to risk sending troops. After all, the benefits were too great.
There are only a few infantry under Qin Feng's command. If all of them die and only the cavalry remains, then Qin Feng will no longer be able to shake the city.
No matter how noisy he is outside the city, there is no need to pay attention to him.
You know, even the army Qin Feng transferred from the north were pure cavalry.
It will take at least two months for Gyeonggi to send infantry south to support.
These two months were enough for Gusu City to recuperate and at the same time drain Qin Feng's energy.
In terms of consumption, Qin Feng is not inferior to Gusu City at all!
It is true that Gusu City has 50,000 defenders, but how much rations will Qin Feng’s 13,000 cavalry, including men and horses, eat?
Who will consume whom to death first, who knows?
Lin Wenwan is not a dictatorial person, but she has never met anyone smarter than her before.
Seeing the excitement among the soldiers, and the benefits of eliminating this infantry are indeed too great, even if there is a risk, it is worth taking.
After thinking about it, Lin Wenwan decided to give it a try. Even if she lost, it would only be a loss of morale.
However, Zheng Keng's so-called suggestion of "sending three thousand infantry" was still refuted by Lin Wenwan.
"Don't think about total annihilation, as long as we defeat them, we will win."
"Destroy 10% of it, damage 20% of it, and the remaining 70% will be in chaos. There is no need for us to waste our energy."
Lin Wenwan's attitude was firm, after all, she knew it very well.
The reason for their previous consecutive battles and victories was that they had the right time, place, and people.
Sun Bo's elite troops first failed to attack the city, and then suffered a tragic loss at the city gate.
The first time he was defeated by the city, and the second time he was pushed back by the heavily armored soldiers.
As for the last time, the defenders took the initiative to attack, but they also caught Sun Bo off guard, leaving him with no time to repair, and his troops were exhausted.
At this time, Sun Bo's vanguard has been repaired, and more than 2,000 infantry are full of physical strength. At this time, if he sends another 3,000 light infantry to fight, the chance of losing will be huge!
You know, Sun Bo's pioneer heavy infantry has been exhausted, but the light infantry and armor under his command are still stronger than those of the defenders.
If you want to wipe them all out, you will need at least 3,000 light infantry, 1,000 heavy armor soldiers, and 1,000 cavalry to break up the rear.
Unfortunately, the heavy-armored soldiers move slowly. Once they leave the city, the enemy troops will retreat, and it is very likely that they will be harassed and attacked by Qin Feng's cavalry.
Under Qin Feng's command...but there are still eight hundred black cavalry!
Lin Wenwan and the generals finally reached an agreement.
Two thousand light infantry and five hundred cavalry were sent out to conduct a tentative attack.
If the enemy retreats, attack fiercely. If the enemy intends to continue fighting and the defenders are close to the city, they can continue to send reinforcements at any time to expand the battlefield.
As the city gate opened wide, the defenders slowly drove out of the city gate. Qin Feng, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but slap his thigh.
"I really got it right!"
Seeing Qin Feng so excited, Zhao Zhenhai couldn't help but ask.
"King Qin, the enemy's morale is high and there are quite a few soldiers sent out. If we really fight, we may not be able to win, right?"
Qin Feng waved his hand, as if he had a chance to win.
"That's what I'll say!"
"For Gusu City, it is the best policy to avoid fighting!"
"They have already won. They just need to hold on to the result. There is no need to continue to fight us desperately. They just need to continue the confrontation."
"Furthermore, our troops' harassment will only increase the resentment of the defenders. The next time a war breaks out, the defenders' momentum will only become stronger."
"The main strategy is to send the army out of the city and encircle and annihilate it with all its strength."
"Because the defenders have a huge advantage, it's simply difficult for us to compete."
"Once the opponent wants to expand the battlefield, we will have no choice but to retreat. It is simply unrealistic to continue fighting."
"A small force, testing and attacking is the next best thing."
"For the defenders, the safest way is exactly what we want."
"A trial attack means that we can compete with Gusu City with our small and big skills."
Zhao Zhenhai has a big mouth, but he didn't expect that Qin Feng's seemingly desperate move would actually contain so many secrets.
He suddenly gained confidence.
but……
Even if it's true, what's the use?
Last night at the commander's tent, Qin Feng was talking about annihilating the enemy. The enemy was so close to the city, how could they annihilate them all? At least Zhao Zhenhai has no clue now.
Zhao Yulong and Liu Ming looked at each other and could not figure out Qin Feng's intentions at all.
Logically speaking, Qin Feng should clearly explain his tactics before the war, so that his subordinates can work closely together to reduce the possibility of mistakes.
But considering the low morale, it was clear that they could not withstand the rapid changes on the battlefield.
Qin Feng is also betting, but at least now, he has a greater chance of winning.
At this moment, Sun Bo's vanguard and the Gusu City defenders were already fighting.
Because neither side had heavy armored soldiers, neither side dared to rush in and fight. The vanguards were testing each other with long weapons.
However, Gusu City still had five hundred light cavalry to support them. While the infantry on both sides were fighting, they had already detoured back to the rear of Sun Bo's vanguard.
The advantage once again tilted towards the direction of Suzhou City.
Fortunately, Sun Bo's vanguard carried a lot of shields. Under the protection of the shields, the enemy's light cavalry attacks were less effective.
The generals on both sides were observing the battlefield.
Although the total number of troops fighting was only 5,000, the battle was not tense at all.
Both sides were even a little passive, with only the vanguard fighting, while the rest of the soldiers were waiting to fill their positions.
The five hundred light cavalry ran out of arrows in a short while, turned their horses and rushed towards Gusu City.
At this moment, Qin Feng waved his hand: "Zhao Zhenhai, lead five hundred Qingqi to attack."
When you finish singing, I will appear?
Zhao Zhenhai couldn't help but feel amused. If he had known that this battle would be so vague, he wouldn't have to be worried.
Not to mention Zhao Zhenhai, even the generals in Gusu City were very relaxed.
In their opinion, this battle was just a test between the two sides, and neither side was serious about it.
Seeing that Qin Feng's five hundred cavalry had rushed to the battlefield, the generals did not react much.
After all, it is not easy for Qingqi to defeat the infantry phalanx.
As everyone expected, after Zhao Zhenhai's five hundred light cavalry were approached, they could only run back and forth between the infantry and Gusu City, harassing them with bows and arrows.
As long as the enemy raised a large shield, Zhao Zhenhai's arrows would be difficult to achieve.
And looking at those spears, Zhao Zhenhai had no idea of rushing into the formation.
Just at this moment, Qin Feng waved his hand again and ordered Zhao Yulong to lead the remaining 2,500 cavalry to the battlefield.
Three thousand cavalry, plus 2,500 infantry, besieging two thousand light infantry?
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
Standing on the city wall, Lin Wenwan immediately realized that something was wrong.
