The war was about to break out. Three hundred thousand Liang troops turned into a U-shaped bag and wrapped up Fengxiang City. The bag was not sealed tightly.

This is a classic siege strategy, with three enemies surrounded and one missing.

In fact, the literal meaning of "Wei San Que Yi" is to surround three sides, open one side, prepare an ambush, induce the enemy to flee, and annihilate them in the movement.

It is mostly used when sieging the enemy's entrenched towns or other strongholds. In order to shorten the combat process and reduce consumption and casualties, the attacking army adopts three-sided encirclement and release on one side, luring the isolated enemy to break through, and then annihilating the enemy in a preset ambush. Regional tactics are more effective than simple offensive battles.

Why is it said that simpler battles are more effective?

Because besieging three people without one is a conspiracy. It is not so much attacking the city as it is attacking the heart, so that the defenders can always see a way out and give up the idea of ​​defending the city.

Although everyone knows that the enemy has an ambush on that retreat route, compared to the persistent and fierce attacks of the enemies on the other three sides, in the eyes of most people, this crisis-ridden retreat route obviously has more opportunities.

Although people in Fengxiang City are panic-stricken, everyone who knows the inside story knows that this is a sign that Liang Jun's death is imminent.

With these people working hard, the morale of the military and the people can be considered stable.

But this is only temporary. If Liang Jun outside the city does not retreat for a long time, the panic among the people in the city will sooner or later develop to the point where one person cannot control it.

This is a problem that cannot be ignored, but it is not a problem worth worrying about. It is just a part of the plan.

After Liang Jun's fierce attack for two days and one night, he had to slow down the siege rhythm and turned into random attacks on three walls. This allowed him to get enough rest and recharge, and at the same time, it also allowed Qi to continue to be vigilant and consume its energy.

There is no way, the soldiers are not war machines that can be kept alive by stuttering. They are living people, and their spirits will also become exhausted.

Over the past two days and one night, Liang Jun had suffered a lot of losses. It was time to slow down, analyze the problems encountered during the current siege, and prepare a new offensive strategy.

In a cold weapon battlefield where there are no hot weapons, siege is a delicate job. There is no serious siege without paying a price, and how to minimize the cost is a very profound knowledge.

There are no strategies to study here, it is purely based on the accumulation of personal experience.

Zhu Youqian stood in front of a vertically unfolded defense map of Fengxiang City, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his lower eyes were covered with a dark shadow. It was obvious that he was not resting well.

He had no time to rest. He needed to be awake at all times during these two days and one night in order to control the situation.

He knows very well that this battle is a national war for Daliang. If he wins, Daliang will gain a chance to breathe, and if he loses, Daliang will be destroyed.

Even if we win, every reduction in consumption will save more national power for Daliang. Therefore, even if we win, we must reduce consumption as much as possible. This is where Zhu Youqian has a headache.

But today, he discovered a new problem.

The Qi Kingdom's military strength was not quite right. During this period of siege, Fengxiang's soldiers guarding the city actually felt exhausted.

This is very wrong. Just like Liang Guo and Qi State's 300,000 troops did not suffer much losses before, Qi State's 100,000 troops also did not suffer much losses.

But now according to his estimation, Fengxiang's army defending the city will not exceed 50,000, so where are the 50,000 Qi troops?

Don't think too much, it must be hidden outside the city.

If the 50,000 Qi army wants to defeat the 300,000-strong Daliang army, there will definitely be no hope. Anyone with a normal mind can understand this.

Zhu Youqian didn't think that the mysterious commander of all the armies of Qi Army could not understand. After all, judging from the previous game between that man and Yang Shihou, that man was a god of knowledge.

If it were that person, how would he use this amazing force?

Zhu Youqian tried to think about the problem from Jiang Yunqing's perspective, and his eyes turned to another vertically unfolded drawing next to the Fengxiang city defense map, which was the military camp defense map of Daliang.

When the size of the army reaches a certain level, there are many considerations in setting up camp. If the camp is not set up properly, it will be easy for the enemy to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the camp.

When Zhu Youqian's eyes fell on the granary, the pupils of his eyes suddenly shrank and he could no longer look away.

There is no doubt that if his granary in Daliang can be destroyed, Daliang's 300,000-strong army will soon fall apart.

This is the fastest and most direct way to solve Fengxiang's siege.

If it were him, he would attack the granary at all costs.

But when Zhu Youqian became more and more certain that the Qi army would attack the granary, he suddenly hesitated. Did that person really think so?

Thinking like this, Zhu Youqian's eyes were no longer focused on the granary, but on the defense of the entire military camp. He carefully observed it for about a quarter of an hour, but he couldn't see any obvious loopholes.

Even for those loopholes that were really unavoidable, Zhu Youqian arranged manned patrols to make up for them at any time.

It is impossible to achieve a breakthrough with an army of fifty thousand.

No, there can be no luck this time.

With this in mind, Zhu Youqian took down the camp's defense map, laid it out on a small case aside, took out his pen and ink and began to modify the camp's defense map.

He has not forgotten what Yang Shihou asked Liu Xuan to tell him. The opponent is very human, so naturally everything must be perfect.

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and the sun outside had reached dusk, and Zhu Youqian also changed his camp's defense plan.

Due to time constraints, the changed camp defense plan was not given to Zhu Youzhen for review, but was directly handed over to several generals who were cooperating with him, ordering them to complete the changes to the camp defense plan as soon as possible before dark.

There is no way, there are too many blindfolded birds in the army.

If the changes to the camp's defenses cannot be completed before dark, I'm afraid we will have to wait until tomorrow.

Zhu Youqian didn't think that the Qi army would choose to attack the camp at night. Just like there were patches of blindfolded birds in the Liang army, the Qi army would not be much better.

If they insist on a night attack, both sides will be like blind men trying to grasp the elephant. There won't be any big losses, but they will make a lot of jokes.

Moreover, relatively speaking, if Qi State wanted to attack at night and Liang State was waiting for work, the advantage would be greater in the end.

After completing these preparations, Zhu Youqian's eyelids felt as if they were filled with lead water, quite heavy.

The feeling of exhaustion that had been lingering around him suddenly hit his heart. Zhu Youqian could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the small case.
