"In that case, let's not think about it for now."
"In this case, let's find a way to take down this city first."
"Even if there isn't that person inside, maybe we can use this place as our base for the time being."
"It is difficult for us to judge these directions at present."
Zhang Bao said with a frown.
"Sir, are you saying that that person might have escaped?"
The leader asked in surprise.
"I'm just not sure."
"I'm worried that there may be some changes in this process."
"If that person is really the emperor of Japan, it would be very unwise to stay here."
"But we have been chasing them all the way without any rest at all, and we have reached the limit. If they want to run, we have received temporary relief and supplements. Not to mention that we are still in the process and are very familiar with the nearby distance. "
"It's not that simple for us to chase them."
"This short overnight pursuit has already divided our troops to such an extent. If we continue to pursue them, our troops will be too scattered."
"If the opportunity is seized by then, it is very likely that they will be annihilated one by one, which is also very dangerous."
Zhang Bao said to the leader.
They come all the way.
Not to mention that when the front scouts were exploring the road, they had been divided into more than a hundred people in front of them. Even their large army was divided into three parts during this process.
There is still no trace of the other two parts.
The big reason is because the journey is completely unfamiliar.
Moreover, in the Japanese country, most of the landforms are mountains and forests, and there are many mountain roads. It is impossible to know where the front leads.
In addition, there are many forked intersections.
In this process, the original number of people has been completely separated in order to find the way.
This is naturally disadvantageous for them.
Zhang Bao looked at the ladder they had prepared and nodded in praise.
"Since this is our first attack on the city, given the current situation, we must use thunder to destroy them."
"And in terms of the number of people we attacked this time, there were only so many people who came with the ship, almost one less person."
"The number cannot be replenished."
"We cannot use the previous siege method that caused relatively large losses."
Zhang Bao looked at the city in front and said.
Although the current city wall is much lower than expected.
But for them, during this process, when they arrive under the city wall from the outside, they will still face attacks from people on the city wall.
At this time, it was purely a matter of death.
At least the people at the front have little to do with their level of kung fu.
No matter how powerful a person is, he is still in great danger when facing the bows and arrows on the city wall at the forefront of the charge.
"Come on, order all the troops to disperse near the four exits of the city and block them."
"Trapped people first and then we'll talk."
"Immediately, let the current troops go back and dismantle part of the artillery and catapults on the ship!"
Zhang Bao said to Huang Hai.
"yes!"
Huang Hai's eyes lit up. If he had artillery and catapults, it would be very simple to siege a city of this level.
Even the explosives of the artillery are limited.
But for the catapult, the stones and wooden blocks here can be taken anywhere.
As a result, it would be impossible for the people in their city to deal with it.
As for artillery, it is very convenient for shooting at city gates like this.
The catapult can attack the men and horses on the city wall from a long distance and weaken their protective net as much as possible.
"By the way, there are also those deep ditches on the road. We took people to fill them in advance. The soil they dug up is not far away. You can just fill them back in."
"There is no need to completely landfill it. Just clear a road that can be transported and ensure that the horse-drawn carriage can come over."
Zhang Bao reminded Huang Hai.
There were deep ditches on the road they came across.
And those deep trenches were destined to be inaccessible to artillery and carriages.
The people from the other two directions have not returned yet, which means that those two roads may not be accessible.
The most convenient path is naturally to take this middle road.
The seaside at this time.
The following people and horses have gradually arrived near the coast.
That village, as the first foothold on the seaside, has already transported corresponding materials and the like through small boats.
And those ships just stayed in the bay.
Zhang Bao and the others were not sure whether the Japanese still had such large ships.
But if Zhang Bao and his ships stay in this bay, it is very likely that the Japanese will send the remaining ships to attack them.
Zhang Bao wanted to use this method to attract Japanese ships to attack.
Zhang Bao and his ships only need to stay away from the coast.
After all, the Japanese currently do not have the ability to attack the sea. The only thing they have to be careful about is the tide.
If these ships were stranded due to the action of tides.
For them, it is a big loss.
As for the people on the ship, they had already begun transporting some of the artillery and catapults to the coast.
For the current catapult, it only needs to be disassembled and then it can be transported smoothly.
But it is a bit more troublesome for the current artillery.
Even before, those craftsmen reduced some of the weight of the artillery.
The weight of this artillery is also quite large.
When hoisted from the boat, it is still very slow.
Therefore, the current number of artillery is small. After only one, the rest are mainly used to transport catapults.
When Zhang Bao's order came back, their supplies were transported all the way forward.
By the time these supplies arrived near the deep ditch, the men and horses in front had already cleared out a road in the middle of the deep ditch.
Thus.
It is very convenient.
That night, all the artillery and catapults were transported outside the city wall.
"It is not very beneficial for us to attack the city at night. Instead, it will allow them to escape during the night."
"Besides, the army is tired after coming all the way. Send an order to attack the city early tomorrow morning, when it is just dawn, when they are most relaxed!"
Zhang Bao said to his men.
