Pang Tong chuckled and shook his head, refuting Huang Zhong's words in the most peaceful way.
"General Huang, does he know how many people our army lost during the seven-day offensive?"
"this..."
Huang Zhong was stunned, not really sure.
Although he was the commander-in-chief, Huang Zhong did not do everything himself.
Everything stems from absolute trust in Pang Tong.
But after thinking about the situation when he led the army to attack, he probably had a number.
"Military advisor, I'm afraid there are four to five thousand people, right?"
Four to five thousand people, more or less.
It was one-tenth of the total number of Eastern Army troops attacking Guangling this time.
Viewed individually, it's nothing. It's normal for so many people to die in a siege.
But when you look at the details, you feel very uncomfortable.
After all, how many people are there in Guangling City?
Moreover, Guangling City has not been captured yet, and there is no sign of it being captured.
"If we encircle all sides and launch a fierce attack, how many days does General Huang think he can take Guangling City?"
"this..."
Huang Zhong was silent again.
It's not that he doesn't have confidence, it's that he can't say it easily.
It takes as long as seven days and as little as three days to win.
But how many people will die during this period?
"General Huang, please sit down!"
Huang Zhong had no choice but to sit back and wait for Pang Tong's next words.
"Actually, there have not been so many casualties in the attacks in the past few days. My military advisor has just made statistics and found that there were probably more than 2,000 casualties."
"Most of them were killed or injured in the attack in the last three days."
Upon hearing this conclusion, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel relieved.
But soon, it became tense again.
"Generals, two thousand is not much, but don't forget how many people there are in Guangling."
"If we don't count the losses in a rush attack, I'm afraid the number of casualties wouldn't be counted in the thousands."
"The soldiers of the Eastern Army have been trained for many years, and every one of them is an elite soldier. How can I, the military advisor, be willing to die and be injured in vain?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Not only Pang Tong, every one of them was reluctant to let their soldiers die in battle.
But then again, how can anyone not die in a war?
Impulsive Wei Yan stood up.
"Strategist, the general doesn't want his soldiers to be injured or injured, so he wants to lead the charge himself!"
"The general feels that continuing like this is not the way to go, and we must attack Guangling in one go!"
"In this case, he can be regarded as a protective soldier in disguise!"
Pang Tong nodded appreciatively.
"General Wei is willing to risk his life, and his loyalty and bravery are commendable!"
Wei Yan waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn't do it for praise.
"Military advisor, we are not the only ones who are anxious now. The King of Qin's military order is such that we have to be anxious!"
"If we are unable to capture Guangling City, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the King of Qin to explain!"
After Liu Zhang was moved out, all the generals agreed.
Whether it is Huang Zhong or Pang Tong, they have absolute say in the Eastern Army.
But after moving out of Liu Zhang, everyone had to go back a little bit.
Huang Zhong stood up again.
"Military advisor, Huang made a promise to the King of Qin before sending troops..."
"General Huang, don't worry!"
Pang Tong quickly comforted him.
It can also be seen that if we don't give a specific plan today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do well.
But counting the time, the day is almost here.
At this moment, a young man opened the tent door and looked directly at Pang Tong.
With a heavy nod of confirmation, Pang Tong suddenly felt happy.
finally come!
Now you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
"Generals, our military advisor is not idle. From the first day we arrived in Guangling City, we have been thinking hard about how to break the city!"
"Although Guangling City is small, the city is tall and the city walls are dangerous. If we insist on attacking by force, the losses will be too huge!"
The city is small and high, which is the most troublesome.
The ladder was out of reach, and it was impossible to transport too many soldiers at once.
This is also the reason why the Qin army suffered frequent defeats.
After a pause, Pang Tong made a decision directly.
"Therefore, on the first day, our military division found a way to break the city, but it took some time."
"However, today, the time has finally come!"
All the generals were shocked.
No one thinks that Pang Tong is doing nothing, on the contrary, they always believe in Pang Tong.
Today, as expected!
"Military advisor, how to defeat the enemy?"
Wei Yan couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Pang Tong did not sell out and went straight to the vital point.
"Our army attacked Guangling City for several days, but was unable to advance. The main reason is that there are too few soldiers who can be sent to the city."
"As long as this problem is solved, Guangling City will be destroyed in a day!"
All the generals nodded in agreement.
The city wall is short and has dense battlements.
This is an objective problem!
How did Pang Tong crack it?
"Generals, the attack in the past few days was actually part of our military division's plan."
"You are all generals. You must know that you must economize on equipment when defending a city. Cheng Pu has been in battle for a long time and will do the same."
"Four days of ordinary attacks and three days of violent attacks are to create a false impression for Cheng Pu. To force him to think that this is all our army's means."
"Have you noticed that since the sixth day, the defenders' counterattack has been very rapid?"
Everyone was enlightened as if they were enlightened.
indeed so!
In fact, most of the soldiers who were killed or injured were killed in the last two days.
The defensive equipment on Guangling City was thrown away as if it was for free!
"It turns out that the military advisor was wasting money on purpose!"
Pang Tong smiled and nodded in recognition.
"That's right. Cheng Pu didn't care about the losses in the past two days. The defensive equipment must have been consumed quickly. I think he will be calmer today."
"However, today our army will launch a fierce attack in one go, leaving Cheng Pu with no way to save!"
"We can break the city in two days at most!"
The generals were confused again, their eyes full of doubts.
Didn't you just say not to attack and lose soldiers?
"Commander, the general is confused. Do we want to attack by force?"
"Yes! Of course! But not the kind of forceful attack before!"
Pang Tong first confirmed the attack method with great certainty.
"Didn't my military advisor say that? The biggest problem is that we can't send more soldiers to the city."
"What if it's possible? What if the soldiers who came forward were sent to the top of the city, and the generals personally led the attack?"
This time, even the calm Zhang Ren stood up on his own initiative.
"Military advisor, if this is really the case, we can defeat the city in one day!"
There are only a few people in Guangling City. If a large army goes up, how can it be invincible?
All the generals stood up and asked for battle.
"Please give the military advisor an order. I am willing to personally lead the attack!"
