It is not impossible to launch a counterattack campaign, but it must be under specific circumstances.
Su Yi put his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth in front of the case.
The eyes of all the generals were also focused on him, waiting for his decision.
After a moment, he stopped and said thoughtfully: "Although it is feasible to switch on and off the night attack, the risk in this matter is greater than the chance of success."
Hearing this, Goldman Sachs said directly: "The last general heard that Commander Su once discussed the army in front of the king and once said, if you don't take risks, how can you talk about surprise soldiers?"
Su Yi glanced at him: "The surprise attack is to surprise and attack the enemy unprepared. This night attack may not achieve this effect, and the risk is higher than the chance of victory. It is not planned by the general."
Hearing this, Goldman Sachs said anxiously: "Commander Su, first defeat his opponent, win and then defend. This is the art of war."
Su Yi said: "The art of war is dead, but people are alive. Any tactics must be determined by the battlefield situation. It does not mean that if the military book says this, you can use it like this. Now that the opponent's three commanders are present, especially Huang Zu, this person has rich battlefield experience and has led troops for many years. Before the battle, he must have deduced all possible scenarios. If the night attack is arranged by the opponent in advance, then we will be a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and destroying ourselves. !”
"this……"
Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Goldman Sachs also swallowed: "Then, can Huang Zu think of our night attack?"
"It should be possible." Su Yi said sternly: "This person is not a drunkard, and the ditch has been leveled. To prevent our army from digging again at night, there must be a large number of scouts hidden outside the mountain pass. Once our army makes any move, it will be exposed. , based on the plan, it is not suitable to attack at night.”
His explanation was reasonable and reasonable. After hearing this, everyone felt a little scared and completely gave up the idea of a night attack.
Su Yi likes to take risks, but the prerequisite is that the chance of victory is greater than the risk, so he will attack decisively. Huang Zu thinks he has understood Su Yi's character and characteristics, but in fact it is just an intelligence text. An excellent How could the commander-in-chief not consider the overall situation and send troops as soon as he was told?
After denying the matter, Su Yi said directly: "Gao Sach will be responsible for deploying the defense tonight and defending the battle tomorrow. Ning Zhan will command the left defense line, Xu Rong will command the right defense line, General Peng Shuang will be in charge of the position in the city, Zhang Dashan will be in charge of equipment transportation, and Soldier support.”
"Every ministry is performing its duties. The war has broken out. Shanyuguan is the gateway to Qin. Not to mention attacking the city, the coalition forces are not allowed to get closer!"
After he arranged the war defense, all the generals were shocked, clasped their fists and accepted the order: "Promise!"
"Stay back." Su Yi waved his hand again, sat back on the desk, picked up the bamboo slips and started reading.
The generals bowed and retired.
On this night, there was no fighting between the two sides.
The Qin army did not launch a night attack, which made Huang Zu a little disappointed, but this did not affect anything. The coalition troops came to the city again the next morning.
This time, it is no longer a long-range attack, but a real siege.
Without any nonsense, after forming the formation, Huang Zu directly issued the order. The commander's flag waved, the drums thundered, and the generals of the coalition forces all drew their swords and launched an all-out attack.
Outside the city gate, soldiers in three formations and three armor colors with different colors were overwhelming and swarming over.
Ladders carried by soldiers moved quickly among the crowd.
Tall siege equipment, rams and other things were pushed together by people and slowly moved towards the city gate.
During the charge, the coalition's trebuchets had already been launched. Oil jars flew over the crowd and hit various parts of the city wall one after another, bursting into flames. From time to time, Qin soldiers would explode. Underneath, Miserable Howl fell.
"Kill--"
There were shouts of killing everywhere.
Soon, the frontline troops of the coalition forces rushed within the range of Qin's arrows. The Qin army had no reason to hesitate and directly issued the order to release arrows.
Looking around, the entire city gate was filled with crossbowmen in the front row. They all moved in unison. They loaded their bows with arrows, drew them to full length, pointed them at the bottom of the city, and then launched a volley of fire.
After shooting, immediately step back, cross with the back row, lean forward for another round, and so on.
The rain of arrows kept coming, each one shot like a long black curtain, constantly hitting the crowd.
Plop, plop!
The arrows penetrated the armor and penetrated the flesh, and the continuous sound never stopped. I don't know how many coalition soldiers were shot to the ground.
There were also heavy shield bearers who huddled in the shield, holding it in front, and arrows were constantly nailed to the shield surface, like hedgehogs.
The vicinity of the charging car was protected by a circle of vertical shields, and countless soldiers gathered to support the charging car and push it forward.
On the top of the city, the sound of mechanical bounces was heard one after another. The Qin Army's crossbow bed was activated, and eighteen thick crossbow arrows were shot out from top to bottom. The force was comparable to breaking the formation, causing a series of casualties.
But these could not stop the charge of the coalition forces. The generals of the Three Kingdoms were already at the front of their respective formations. Ye Gui kept waving the spear in his hand, blocking random arrows, and at the same time roared loudly:
"Soldiers, charge with me! Attack the city! Kill all the Qin people——"
"Come on -"
Under the leadership of the general, it is very good to improve morale. He threw the corpses on the ground with Qin's arrows and rushed closer. At this time, he was also within the range of the coalition forces. He ran forward with the crossbow in hand. Bian took out arrows from the arrow pot behind his back and fired back at the city.
Arrows from both sides began to fly back and forth in the sky. The arrows continued to flow. There would always be Qin soldiers who were hit by random arrows and fell off the city wall with a howl. The people behind them immediately made up for the defense.
Amidst the arrows, the distance of a hundred steps quickly shortened. Aerial ladders began to be set up all over the city gate. The coalition soldiers began to use their hands and feet to climb up desperately.
"Oil-throwing altar!"
The general gave the order, and the Qin army quickly took down the oil altar and began to smash it against the city.
The sound of earthen jars breaking was heard one after another, followed closely by rockets.
The kerosene ignited when it was touched by fire, and burned instantly along the oil stains. In an instant, many burning people appeared under the city. Under the raging fire, they howled miserably and shrilly. Some ran around, and some rolled around...
However, the masonry and hard soil under the city had no support from burning objects, and the oil altar defense could only play a supporting role to a certain extent and could not really repel the coalition forces.
On the ladder, countless soldiers were still climbing up. Of course, as soon as they emerged, they would be stabbed over by halberds and fall down screaming.
The soldiers of the Qin army had already picked up stones and other objects, and smashed them down with all their strength. They followed the ladder and ran away as soon as they hit it.
The coalition's siege vehicles have already pushed to the city gate and are violently impacting the tall and heavy city gate.
Thick and sharp wooden stakes were hung by ropes, one after another.
The city gate trembled and ashes shook off, but this was the center of defense, and you couldn't just knock it open in a few clicks.
Inside the city gate, there were not only dozens of thick hardwood trees supporting the ground, but also rows of Qin soldiers, supporting the city gate with their bodies.
