Hearing Wu Huan's words, the other generals were angered to the point that their noses almost went crooked. Was this what a commander should say? Outside, no one would be willing to accept any orders! If you don't even have this much courage, then why did you still join the army?
However, Wu Huan was the main general. If he did not agree to fight, the soldiers would have no other choice.
On the other side, the one hundred thousand soldiers guarding Feng City was Middle General Yan Ze. Yan Ze had also received the same order as Wu Huan, he was to guard Feng City, and was not allowed to go out, but he was much braver than Wu Huan. Furthermore, they were still clan relatives, so even if he disobeyed Wu Huan's orders, he was not afraid of anything. Hearing that a hundred thousand Feng Army had passed between his Xiaoxia, Yan Ze jumped up and down in happiness. He was just worrying that there was no battle to fight, so Feng Army actually took the initiative to deliver it to his doorstep.
Even though Yan Ze's head was spinning, and he was forgetting about others, his Deputy General was not normal, his name was Wang Yi, and he was an experienced veteran with a lot of experience. He dissuaded Yan Ze: "General, there is something strange about the Feng Army, if Feng Army is really going to ambush us, it is impossible for it to be only send a hundred thousand people, and it is also impossible for it to advance slowly, and it is even more impossible for it to be strenuously walking between two cities with heavy soldiers. From the looks of it, there is most likely something deceptive about it, and the reason why Feng Army is doing this, it is very likely that our troops are being lured out of the city to attack, so generals shouldn't be tricked by the Thief Feng!"
Ah!" When he heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air and his mind immediately calmed down. He himself possessed some ability, but now that Wang Yi had reminded him of this, he could only inwardly nod his head. This made sense. This group of wind army was indeed strange!
He asked, "Old General Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Yi said with a serious expression: "Our army will not leave, and we will wait for your orders."
"Right, right, right! The old general's words are reasonable! " Yan Ze nodded his head, and then he suddenly thought of something, and anxiously called for a subordinate, and said: "Immediately send a message to General Wu, tell him to hold on to his Xiaoxia, and not to attack so easily."
Without waiting for him to reply, Wang Yi chuckled and waved his hand: "No need."
"Why?" Yan Ze looked at him in puzzlement.
Wang Yi laughed: "General Wu has always been cautious, if he attacks, she will definitely inform the general beforehand, and request the general to follow him in attacking the Feng Army, but until now, there has not been any news from the General Wu, which means that he has given up on the idea of attacking the Feng Army." Wang Yi understood Wu Huan too well, saying that he was being cautious was just a form of flattery, but in truth, he was just being timid. Even if he had 10 guts, Wu Huan would not dare to fight Feng Army alone.
Hearing Wang Yi's words, Yan Ze laughed, he nodded, then waved to the subordinate that had called him over, and said: "You may leave! "By the way, send orders to our officers and officers, all of us to defend the city and guard against Feng Army raids. Anyone who dares to go out for battle without my leadership will be dealt with according to the military laws!"
"Yes!" "General!" The deputy general interfered with the greeting and hurriedly left.
Tang Yin had used a method to lure the snake out of its cave, and the commander of the Xiaoxia, Wu Huan, did not dare to go against the Sovereign's Crest and did not leave the city, while the commander of the Feng City, Yan Ze, was dissuaded by the Deputy General, and did not attack. Tang Yin did not mind. Seeing that Ning Jun had not fallen for the trap, he, himself, who was in command of the Directly Subordinate Army, also came out of the Tong Gate. At the same time, his Pingyuan Army headed towards the Xiaoxia and the Feng City respectively.
When the Pingyuan Army reached the Xiaoxia s, they immediately set up camp. Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang then went up to the tower, raising their heads to take a look at the situation in the Xiaoxia City. The name of Xiaoxia City only carried a few small words, but in reality, it was not small at all. Among them, there was a huge army of a hundred thousand which clearly showed the vastness of the city.
Behind the high walls of the Xiaoxia City, the Ning Army's armor was shining brightly. The soldiers were like a forest as they stood there like a steel wall. After he finished watching, Xiao Muqing grinned secretly, This battle is not easy! While thinking, he asked Wu Guang who was beside him: "General Wu, how do you think we should handle this battle?"
Wu Guang was one of the four great generals of Feng Country, but he was not a simple person with developed limbs. He muttered to himself for a moment, and said: "Xiaoxia City is sturdy, and it is guarded by a hundred thousand men from the Ning Army. Furthermore, with the Ning Army as a base, it is easy to defend and attack.
Xiao Muqing nodded, what Wu Guang said was also what he was worried about. Seeing that he did not continue, Wu Guang continued: "I have a plan, but I don't know if it will work!"
"Oh?" Xiao Muqing knew that Wu Guang was an astute person, upon hearing those words, his eyes lit up, and immediately asked: "What plans does General Wu have? "Just say it."
Wu Guang did not speak immediately, but turned and walked down the tower. Xiao Muqing curiously followed him down the tower.
Upon reaching the ground, Wu Guang used his feet to stomp on the ground forcefully, leaving two footprints on the ground. Wu Guang smiled at Xiao Muqing, then lowered his gaze, and said: "Chief General, please look."
Xiao Muqing lowered his head, and looked at the two footprints on the ground, and he was confused. What was so good about the footprints, what did it have to do with his own city? He was puzzled and asked: "What does General Wu want me to see?"
Wu Guang explained: "The Hedong Region and land are fertile, and are mostly soft soil. With that, he looked towards the direction of the Xiaoxia and continued: "Our encampment is about two miles away from the Xiaoxia. With the softness of the Hedong Region, digging a path from the camp to the city would only take ten days, as long as our troops can enter the city smoothly.
He used his finger to poke at the soil on the ground and slowly nodded his head. The Feng Country had many mountains and many underground rocks, so it was impossible to attack the city using the method of digging tunnels, but Hedong Region was different. The soil here was fertile, warm, wet and rainy, the soil was abnormally soft and it was as Wu Guang had said, with the help of his army of a hundred thousand, digging a two-kilometer long tunnel would not even take a few days.
He rolled his eyes and slowly stood up, laughing: "We can use Trebuchet, City-breaking Crossbow, and Army-broking Crossbow to continuously harass the Ning Army in the city day and night, diverting their energy. At the same time, we can also use them as cover for us to dig in secret in the camp, when the tunnel is dug out, the Ning Army will definitely become exhausted, and at that time, we can give them a pincer attack from the inside and outside …"
Wu Guang laughed while facing the sky, and then said: "This way, our army can easily take the Xiaoxia!"
"Haha …"
After saying that, Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang laughed.
On that day, Xiao Muqing did not make any sort of rest, but immediately passed down the order for Trebuchet, City-breaking Crossbow, and Army-broking Crossbow to attack Xiaoxia City. On the other side, he had another group of people go to the nearby forests to cut trees.
Because the Hedong Region's land was too soft, and the tunnel they dug couldn't be too deep, if there wasn't anything to support them, they could collapse at any time.
Pingyuan Army used Trebuchet s, City-breaking Crossbow s and Army-broking Crossbow s to kill the enemy while digging a tunnel inside the camp. Of course, it was impossible for the tunnel to be dug outside, but chose to stay inside the camp to deceive people, afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of Ning Jun and the soil that was dug out could not immediately lean outwards, instead, it would be scattered throughout the tents, and when the sky turned dark, they would use a carriage to pull everything outside the camp.
The soldiers of the Flatland Army did not attack the city directly. Just the harassment of the stone-throwing machine, the city-destroying crossbow and the city-destroying crossbow had already tormented the Ning Army, who were guarding the city. When the catapult was thrown out, the Ning Army on the city wall would subconsciously hide behind the crossbow, but at this time, the destructive power of the Crossbow was unleashed once more. The goal of the Crossbow was to kill the enemy behind the arrow stack, but now, all the soldiers on the city wall were squeezed behind the crossbow, resulting in a group of people being pierced by the Crossbow. In just a moment, the screams on the walls of the Little Xia city became a series of screams.
In the beginning, he suffered a great loss, and over a thousand soldiers were killed. His commander, Wu Huan, was also scared stiff by the combination of Trebuchet and City-breaking Crossbow as he grabbed a general beside him and shouted, "Quick! Quickly ask the King for help, quickly ask the Feng City, and tell him that the Main Force of Feng Army has come to attack the Xiaoxia on a large scale! "
The general looked at Wu Huan whose face had turned pale and sighed, "General, you don't have to worry. The letter of warning has already been sent out, and the Feng Army is only doing probing harassment now. They did not formally attack the city, so General does not need to worry!"
"Our Feng Army is powerful, if no one comes to rescue us, we will die a graveless death!" Before the battle of Feng Army officially began, Wu Huan took the initiative to start reciting the Sutra of the Dead. With such a commander, how high would the morale of the soldiers be?
Very quickly, Ning Jun Wu Yi also noticed that the Feng Army was only using the Trebuchet s and Crossbow s as a probe, and had no intention of attacking. The General of Ning Country s all sent their subordinates to the city walls to reduce the unnecessary casualties, only leaving a small portion of their troops to defend the city wall. When the Feng Army began to charge, it would not be too late to transfer the troops under the city to participate in the defense of the city.
The General of Ning Country s have thought it through, there will eventually be an end to the rocks and crossbow bolts in your Feng Army, let's see how long you can last?
As expected, after his Pingyuan Army had been viciously thrown out, the battlefield returned to silence. Seeing that, the General of Ning Country knew from experience that the soldiers of Feng Army were about to charge and attack the city.
Who knew that even after waiting for a long time, he still did not see any movement from within the Feng Army Camp. Just as the Ning Bing General of Ning Country s were puzzled, the Trebuchet s, as well as the Army-broking Crossbow s, started to move again.
