Zhu Lingshi's eyes were sparkling with tears, and it could be seen that he was holding back the tears, biting his lips, taking a big step forward, and said in a deep voice: "General Ningyuan, the last general, Zhu Lingshi, a soldier in the army, take the order!" "
Liu Yu nodded, put the order into Zhu Lingshi's hands, and said in a deep voice: "Lingshi, keep an eye on Beicheng and don't let an enemy cavalry enter the battlefield. I don't need you to attack Beicheng, but I need you to attack Beicheng." You control the situation, it’s your suggestion and it’s your solution.”
Zhu Lingshi said loudly: "As long as I have a breath left, I will never let a Yanqi pass through my defense area. I will be at the north gate, together with General Sun, with five thousand soldiers, to defend the commander and other cities." To the soldiers attacking the city, pray for God’s blessing!”
As he spoke, he took the token and turned around to leave. When he passed Brother Zhuge Changmin, he turned his head, looked at Zhuge Changmin, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Changmin, thank you for always supervising me, and I hope you will Those who can make contributions in this battle will be rewarded.”
After he finished speaking, he ran off the command platform without looking back. Zhuge Changmin gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Nu, you have even entrusted Zhu Lingshi, a person in the family who has surrendered to the enemy, with an important task. Then I should be allowed to take charge of it alone this time." Alright."
Liu Yu nodded: "Changmin, I know you are speaking out of public interest and the rules of the army. However, Dashi is the only one who can see that the enemy may send cavalry from the north to attack. According to the rules of the Beifu Army, , he should also lead the troops to defend Beicheng. Since I asked him to obey orders on this commander's platform today, I will not regard him as a collaborator with the enemy. This kind of long-term people is not conducive to unity and has no reason to doubt the words of brothers. It’s better to say less in the future.”
Zhuge Changmin gritted his teeth and said, "Since you said so, I won't say anything more. It's just that I'm always in charge of the East City. Please allow me to attack from the East City this time."
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said: "In Dongcheng, the Beiqingzhou troops led by you have always camped together with the Yanzhou troops of Liu Fan brother. But last night, I had asked Liu Fan to return with 10,000 Yanzhou troops. Reinforce Yuzhou and reinforce Xile. Now I can’t send more troops to reinforce Dongcheng. Are you sure we can win with only your troops?”
Zhuge Changmin gritted his teeth: "Now I only have 8,000 soldiers and horses, plus the more than 10,000 local Qingzhou militiamen who have come to surrender in the past six months, it is true that the force is not too sufficient. However, as long as the organs and fortifications at the top of the city can be destroyed, And if the attacks on the other two sides go smoothly, I am still confident that we can capture Dongcheng."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Since Brother Changmin has such courage, it's the best. Let's do this. I can't send a large army to help you, but I can send a team of sharp archers to help you attack the city. Deputy Commander of the Divine Arrow Assault Battalion Where is Xu Chite?"
Xu Chite, carrying a big bow, looked happy, strode out of the line, and performed a military salute: "The general is here!"
Liu Yu nodded: "There are currently three thousand magic archers in the Shenjian Assault Battalion. You take half of them, fifteen hundred people, to support Brother Changmin. Remember, you must destroy the enemy's city head structure. Get close to the city and suppress the archers and crossbowmen at the top of the city, do you understand?"
Xu Chite laughed: "Don't worry, Commander, when have I ever let you down?!"
Liu Yu curled his lips, glanced at the flying rocks in front of him, and said: "Before you and Changmin go to Dongcheng, take your archers to the front. Zhang Gang and Wang Zhene should be able to I’ll tell you how to break this veil.”
Xu Chite opened his eyes wide: "Crack the curtain, use me?"
Zhuge Changmin smiled and said: "I'm talking about Chite, if you spent 30% of your usual archery training on the art of war, you wouldn't ask such a question. Don't you know that for this kind of city defense deployment? Is rocket attack the best way to break the curtain? If the archers of a large group form a formation to shoot arrows, they have to be within a hundred steps of the city, and they are easily injured by the arrows and rocks at the top of the city. But if the archers of a small group use the terrain to Is it difficult for you to quickly approach the city wall, send out fire arrows from a distance of about 150 steps, and ignite these curtains?"
Xu Chite raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Changmin is still awesome. I will teach my younger brother more about the art of war in the future."
Zhuge Changmin turned around and walked towards the audience: "Without further delay, come with me quickly. After we have solved these curtains in the south city, I have to go to the east city to work."
As Zhuge Changmin left, a group of generals behind him and several generals around Xu Chite also left. There were fewer and fewer people in the handsome platform. Tan Shao's face didn't look good because , it’s not his turn yet.
Liu Yu looked at Tan Shao and smiled slightly: "What's wrong, Ah Shao, you can't help it so quickly?"
Tan Shao said angrily: "Brother Jinu is so unbiased. All the brothers have taken orders to attack. I am the only one who has not been assigned combat tasks here. Could it be like the battle of Linqu, where I was assigned to the back?" Let’s be a surprise soldier, I don’t want to go around the city again to attack the city.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "Of course not. The last thing left for you is the West City. You have to organize the siege. Here in the South City, I am in charge. I guess the black robes will also gather heavy troops. Over there in the East City, Changmin's The troops are insufficient, and I don’t think he will sacrifice his hard power to attack with all his strength. As you know in Beicheng, it is just to prevent the enemy’s cavalry from raiding. It doesn’t even have siege equipment or a long siege. It is really possible to break the situation this time. Yes, it is in the direction of your west city."
Tan Shao's eyes lit up: "What, am I the main attacker?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, everyone thinks that where I am is the main direction of attack, but in fact, soldiers are not afraid of deceit. I am here to contain the main force of the black robe. Xicheng has the advantage of high mountains, although it is not as good as Nancheng. It's flat, but the overall height is much higher than here. Now we know the layout of the enemy's city head. As long as we can destroy the enemy's mechanism at the west city head, that is the easiest direction to attack. I put two hundred catapults And almost all the throwing poles are concentrated in the direction of the West City, ambushing in the camp, where is Xiao Chengzhi, Colonel Xiao?"
Xiao Chengzhi strode out, cupped his hands and said: "To tell you what the commander-in-chief said, Bei Zhi and Zhang Shaojian have been building heavy catapults for siege in Jiuhui Mountain and Wulongkou area for the past month. Compared with the ordinary catapults used for attacks now, , these heavily equipped catapults can attack at a distance of up to five hundred steps. They can be operated by thirty sergeants at a time and can throw boulders weighing thirty kilograms. Even city walls as strong as Guanggu can be destroyed!"
Tan Shao burst out laughing: "You boy, I really belong to you. No wonder I haven't seen you for a while. I thought you had returned to Jiankang."
Xiao Chengzhi smiled slightly: "I have been interested in these institutions, ordnance and other things since I was a child. The commander-in-chief is just using these strengths of my humble position. These Yan thieves may have thought that we were looking for their water source in Wulongkou, but they don't know that we It’s where we build weapons for siege.”
