Chapter 735： Make a decision

  Chapter 735 Determination

At noon on March 18th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming led 800,000 reinforcements to join forces with Su Yan's troops under the wall of the east gate of Prince Liu's City. Dinner.

   Qu Mao asked the two armies to have a dinner. On the one hand, it was to relieve Su Yan’s embarrassment. On the other hand, it also brought together the army heroes who besieged Liuwanggong’s King’s City to discuss a strategy to take down the King’s City quickly and with low loss during the dinner.

At 2 pm on March 18th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, more than 30 expeditionary army heroes and more than 20 new heroes brought by Qu Mao and Kong Ming gathered in the expeditionary army barracks outside the east gate of Liuwanggong King City. The big tent couldn't fit more than 50 heroes in total, so Qu Mao simply asked the soldiers to move the dining place outside the tent.

  A group of heroes from the territory of Yicheng sat on the ground outside the tent of the Chinese army, eating a simple lunch in the army.

   Qu Mao brought together more than 20 new heroes who joined the battlefield this time and more than 30 heroes who entered the battle in the early days of the expeditionary force, and exchanged feelings while eating.

  Su Yan, Kong Ming, Su Buqing, Xu Tan and other army heroes were called to their side by Qu Mao.

   After taking a few mouthfuls of food, Qu Mao said: "Su Buqing, Xu Tan, you are also veteran army heroes in the territory of Yicheng. You have fought many wars, big and small. Let me talk about your views."

  Compared with Su Yan, these army heroes seemed more rational, and expressed their views on the fact that the expeditionary army besieged Liu Wanggong's King's City for a long time and could not be attacked for a long time.

   Qu Mao nodded while listening, and said after a long time: "Su Buqing, explain your thoughts in detail again."

  Su Buqing bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "My lord, the city wall of Liuwanggong King's City is a six-tiered city wall, 24 meters high, and the thickness of the bottom layer should be about six meters.

With the strength and weapons of the expeditionary soldiers who besieged King Liu's City in our territory of Yicheng, it may be difficult to cause effective damage to the walls of King Liu's City. Therefore, Her Royal Highness did not rashly attack the city, not only because she was reluctant to bear the casualties of the soldiers, but also An inevitable military choice.

  Faced with such a solid wall, there are not many options left for our expeditionary forces. Ladders and siege vehicles are all feasible strategies. We have also tried some, but the effect is not particularly good.

Because in Liuwanggong King's City, the remaining garrison soldiers, the main force soldiers who fled back, and the miscellaneous troops temporarily recruited by Liuwanggong's king, the total number is more than 1 million. A mere 600,000.

Although Her Royal Highness has an expeditionary force of more than 5 million troops in Liuwang Principality, it takes about 1 million troops to occupy the conquered territory. The five cities and their affiliated villages in the northwest region have the main forces of Wangzhanhou Kingdom and Abyss Hou Kingdom. , It also involved more than 3 million expeditionary forces.

  The remaining expeditionary soldiers still have about 400,000 soldiers to confront the main forces of Jierhou, Bertierhou and Lianhehou countries on the southwest border, western border and northern border respectively.

Prince Liu's King's City has more than a million troops defending it. In a field battle, even if our expeditionary force does not have 600,000 troops, we are not afraid of the mob temporarily recruited by the Duke of Liu. to be threatening enough. "

  Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan, and said lightly: "Master Su Buqing, my lord has no intention of pursuing your princess's ineffectiveness in combat, and you don't need to excuse Master Su Yan.

  My lord asked you to elaborate on the strategy you mentioned just now to break through the royal city after the arrival of 800,000 reinforcements. "

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "The specific situation, if you explain it in detail, I understand it better, but the strategy of defeating the enemy is more important."

Su Buqing had no choice but to continue: "Now with the 800,000 reinforcements brought by the adults, the total force of our co-surrounding Wanggong King City has reached 1.4 million. Even if we storm the city wall of the Liuwanggong King City, my subordinates think that we should be able to win the battle regardless of casualties." Down.

  But if we don’t want too many casualties, maybe we have to think of other ways. "

   Qu Mao nodded lightly again, but didn't say anything.

  Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, smiled and said nothing.

  Xu Tan said: "My lord, the other methods that Master Su Buqing said, I actually communicated with my subordinates.

  If Lord Sophie Trani is willing to provide a few magicians, it will be much easier for us to take down Prince Liu's King City, and there will be fewer casualties.

  Unfortunately, Master Sophie Trani is leading the Magic Legion to confront the main force of the Jierhou Kingdom. "

   Qu Mao asked suspiciously: "Oh? How did Su Buqing discuss it with you? Why do you say that Sophie can save a lot of casualties by supporting a few magicians?"

  Xu Tan said: "My lord doesn't know that even if there were magic legions here in the early days, we didn't dare to try to attack the royal city lightly. After all, our 600,000 troops are against the 1 million defending troops, and our strength is not superior.

   Now that there are 800,000 soldiers reinforced by adults, if we have a few magicians to support us, it will be much more convenient for us to storm the walls of the royal city.

  My lord, think about it: Several earth magicians and water magicians use ice and soil mixed magic to temporarily build a ramp leading to the city wall of Liuwang Principality. Maybe our cavalry can charge directly to the city wall on horseback.

  If there are still air magicians around, we don’t even need long-range troops to cover us if we throw a few lightning group attack spells on them. "

  Su Buqing said: "To achieve this effect, at least a seventh-level senior magician is required, and each department must have five or more.

  Even if you don’t need advanced water-type magicians and earth-type high-level magicians, you can have high-level fire-type magicians and high-level water-type magicians. Fire first and then ice can blow up the city wall in minutes. "

   Qu Mao shook his head, and said: "Su Buqing, the latter strategy is not good. It will blow up a section of the city wall every now and then. After Su Yan takes the king city, doesn't it have to be rebuilt?"

  Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said in a speechless voice: "My lord, it's as if you've already taken down Prince Liu's King City.

  Well, it would be nice if Maffei Trani left a few senior magician recruitment tickets from him before going to Sophie Trani. "

   Qu Mao glared at Kong Ming and asked, "Su Buqing, Xu Tan, how many seventh-level senior magicians do you need?"

Xu Tan said: "My lord, the city wall is 24 meters high. If a magician is to release magic safely and soundly, I am afraid that at least a seventh-level senior magician of the air system must cover it, a seventh-level high-level water magician and a seventh-level high-level earth magician build a ramp." , the number must be at least 5 each, otherwise the safety of the magicians cannot be guaranteed.”

  Su Buqing said: "If there is a seventh-level space magician, you can also directly send fighters up. Unfortunately, the number of fighters you send at one time is too small."

  Qu Mao thought for a while, and said, "It's enough that the casualties of capturing the king city will be reduced. I'll find a way for the magician."
