Shen Tianzi grinned and was about to laugh, but suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes wide: "If the gap is broken, what about the brothers using the rope ladder? If the city wall collapses, there is no need to climb. Then Rong Zu ………”
Tan Shao's eyes flashed coldly: "This is not something you have to worry about. You just need to wait for my order to act. Tianzi, remember this. Once the city wall is destroyed, follow my order and rush in as quickly as possible. Don't give the enemy any chance to reorganize, as long as you can open a breakthrough, you will be the winner of this battle!"
Shen Tianzi still blinked and wanted to say something. Tan Shao waved his hand: "Okay, Tianzi, your fourth brother Lin Zi is here. He also brought a thousand Wu Di light soldiers. Go and coordinate the attack with him." , the commander just sent an order, the iron gate can also be captured, find a way to make it hot first, and then quickly cool it with ice cubes, let the yin and yang attack, it can be broken, but, You must be careful, there may be black demonic water inside the city gate cave, so even if you open it, don't rush in."
Shen Tianzi scratched his head: "Is breaking the door just for show? Then what's the point of attacking the city?"
Tan Shao laughed: "The enemy has always been tightly defended at the city gate. The general broke through the south gate but did not capture the city. Our goal is still to break the wall. At the city gate, try to attract the enemy. Army main force, do you understand?"
Shen Tianzi nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll go see my fourth son. Maybe he has some command from the commander."
Tan Shao said sternly: "Remember, even if the commander wants to blame you for temporarily taking away Zhang Gang, you can admit it, but you must not go back. Just say that you have received my order to attack the city, and you can't follow the order for the time being. Stay. The elites who live in the forest are the core veterans of your Shen family. At the critical moment, I think they will definitely work wonders."
Shen Tianzi said confidently: "Brother Ah Shao, don't worry, I have three thousand Yuejia here, and I can't defeat anything!"
As he spoke, the muscles on his big body swayed with the armor leaves, and he quickly ran down the mountain.
Tan Shao watched them leave, and the sound of drums and horns sounded in the distance. Under the banners of "high" and "feng", the Beihai Navy, whose armor regulations were completely different from those of the Beifu Army, were already lined up. In the formation, the bombardment frequency of the catapults increased several times. The flying rocks covered the sky and the sun, and flew towards the city head that was already riddled with holes.
In the Jin army's formation, the cheers shook the earth. Even the Beihai sergeants who seemed to have lost their fighting spirit at the beginning of the formation and were not very interested gradually began to become excited. Many people carried ladders and held on. Holding a wooden shield, he was using his other free hand to raise his arms and shout, for every launch of his own catapult, for when the opponent's city head was hit for the first time, there was an archery tower or mechanism. Things like that were smashed and dropped and welcomed.
Next to Tan Shao, a scholar dressed as a soldier walked slowly. This man had fair complexion and clear eyebrows. He had a newly grown beard that fluttered in the wind, exuding a shrewd and capable person. He was not Liu Mu. His right-hand man, Xie Hui, the rising star of the Xie family?
Xie Hui looked at Shen Tianzi, who had run down the mountain and was talking to Shen Linzi, and smiled slightly: "It seems that the commander-in-chief didn't want Shen Linzi to come and ask for guilt. He should be asked to lead troops to reinforce him. After all, the commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief. , even if you are unhappy with your subordinates doing their own thing, they will not hold them accountable on the battlefield and affect the war."
The corner of Tan Shao's mouth curled up: "Xie Canjun, let me ask, is your fighting style really good? When our army attacks the city, let the Northern Navy attack with enhanced catapults when they climb the city. This will not It goes against our Beifu Army’s consistent principles to conduct and kill separately from our own territory.”
Xie Hui said calmly: "Compassion cannot lead an army, and justice cannot lead an army. Besides, those are not the Beifu army. They are just some Qingzhou soldiers who came to join temporarily. Many of them were Yan soldiers a few months ago. When did you start to feel pity for them?" The lives of these former enemies?”
Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "It's true that before was before and now is now. Now we are all comrades in arms. When others are attacking, we attack with rocks. This is unjustifiable. Besides, you said the Gao family in the city, The Feng clan has secret connections with us and is willing to surrender the city, but they will kill all their villagers during the siege. Will they still abide by the agreement?"
Xie Hui sneered: "It was three months ago that they said they wanted to open the city and surrender. If they could have dedicated the city, they would have dedicated it long ago. Why would they wait until now? There are not many Han people in the city, and there are no Xianbei people. The way out, this time we attack by force, don’t expect good things like someone in the city opening the city.”
Tan Shao shook his head: "Even if we don't use troops to attack the city and use heavy catapults to smash it, we don't have to lose troops, and we don't need them to expose any of the city's mechanisms. Can't we just destroy the city?"
Xie Hui smiled slightly: "No, what I want is to consume the Northern Navy. If we don't do this, even if the Southern Yan is destroyed, it will be difficult to stabilize."
Tan Shao's eyes widened: "Are you going to deliberately kill these Beihai soldiers by attacking the city?"
A cold and stern light flashed in Xie Hui's eyes: "General Tan, this land of Qingzhou is subject to rebellion. We have recaptured the land of Qingzhou several times during the Northern Expedition. More than 20 years ago, in the Feishui River After the war, the former Qin general Fu Lang who was guarding Qingzhou surrendered. The Beifu Army formed by our Xie family accepted the surrender of the local wealthy families in Qingzhou almost without bloodshed. Among them, there were people named Han, people named Gao, and people named Gao. Those who were granted the title, and those named Pilu, are in exactly the same situation as today."
Tan Shao sighed: "I understand what you mean. They only surrendered on the surface. In fact, they retained their private soldiers and fields. They only waited for the king's army to retreat and then re-separated themselves. So these people can't be trusted, right?"
Xie Hui nodded: "Last time when these local snakes secretly used Han Fan to go out of the city to negotiate peace, when they came to discuss surrender, the price they asked was almost the same as before. At that time, the commander-in-chief agreed to their request in order to show his benevolence. He had His consideration, but as subordinates, we have to share the worries of the commander and not consume the troops and horses that these local snakes rely on to separate themselves and stand on their own. Once the king's army retreats, Qilu will surely stand on its own again!"
Tan Shao gritted his teeth: "If you just do this, the commander will be angry and you will be blamed later. What should I do?"
Xie Hui smiled slightly: "The catapult was launched by Zhang Gang, and Zhang Gang was brought by Shen Tianzi. If the responsibility is investigated, are you still afraid that no one will take the blame? General Tan, you can't trust others, and you can't trust me?"
