Chapter 489 Chapter 489: Killing Yama with a Hundred Thousand Banners (Part 4) [Asking for monthly votes]
Go straight to Huanglong Mansion and have a drink with all the gentlemen.
It sounds so heroic to say this and soar into the sky, but it is very difficult to do it. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
But the words have been released, and unless King Shiwu does something, where will she, Shen Tang, put her face full of collagen?
But in what way?
This requires careful discussion among several people.
“Although the capital of Shiwu King is not as sophisticated as the cities in the pass, it is not something that we can break with our small force. Even if we can, the delay will be enough time for reinforcements from nearby tribes, which will put us at a disadvantage. A dilemma." In the simple camp, Jiang Sheng pressed his fingers against the simple sand table to analyze where the defenses were relatively weak, where it was convenient to attack, and when it was safest to attack.
They don’t know how many soldiers and horses the King of the Royal Court took away during his personal expedition, but judging from the intelligence they obtained a while ago, the defense of Shiwu King’s capital at this time is like an “empty city” compared to its heyday. "The troops are as empty as ever!"
The best thing is - the one who commands the troops is King Shiwu's underage prince. The common characteristics of these princes are that they are young and inexperienced. They can nominally control the royal capital's troops, but in fact these troops do not listen to them at all.
As long as you plan properly, even if you can't destroy the Shiwu King's Capital, you can still send them a fire and burn them all!
Shen Tang sat on the mat, clasping his hands on his chest, frowning and squinting, and asked: "Go ahead and prepare for a sneak attack to attack the city?"
Jiang Sheng: "It's best to bluff first - for example, You Sheng is at the south gate. Use word spirits like [Flooded Seventh Army] or [Fire Company] to create a loud momentum, lead them to a city gate, and then launch a real general attack at the opposite city gate. "
Of course. The bait thrown out can easily get into danger.
The small number of people means that the target is small and it is easy to escape.
Gu Chi was by Shen Tang's side, just in case something unexpected happened.
Although this guy's scribe's method is a little annoying, once you get used to it, it has many benefits. Jiang Sheng suggested the solution, but Gu Chi did not object and obviously acquiesced. But Shen Tang still had a different idea: "Why——"
Jiang Sheng said warmly: "Master, please speak."
Shen Tang tilted his head and thought for a while, organized his words, and carried Holding chopsticks against the sand He fiddled with the small flag on the sand table with the tip of his chopsticks and asked: "It's not that the method of ascending first is impossible, but I still have a question - why does it have to attack from the ground in a war?"
Jiang Sheng subconsciously looked at Gu Chi.
Gu Chi was confused: "Don't look at me, look at the sand table!"
Jiang Sheng: "..."
Shen Tang pinched a small piece of clay, threw it towards the sand table capital, and asked: "Why can't it be air-dropped and hit the wall?"
Jiang Sheng Asked back: "Do we have a catapult?"
If we count two thousand people, what are we thinking about?
In order to hide more than two thousand people, we did not dare to stay in one place for too long during this period. To put it bluntly, we were "hiding our heads and tail", for fear of leaking the traces and being surrounded and suppressed by the Shiwu sect. How can we still have the conditions to transport large siege equipment carelessly?
"Before Gong Xiqiu led troops to attack Xiaocheng, I didn't see them pulling a catapult..." Shen Tang muttered softly.
Jiang Sheng didn’t understand this paragraph, but Gu Chi knew it very well. He explained: "The catapults of the army led by Gong Xiqiu are the result of the morale of the army. If our army has this condition, it can still attack the city by hurling stones even without carrying the baggage of the catapults."
The number of catapults to build morale is limited. If you are serious about attacking a city for eight hundred years, you still have to bring the baggage that you should carry.
Shen Tang asked again: "Yan Ling has so many wonderful uses, why can't brave warriors fly into the sky and attack the enemy from the air?"
Gu Chi said: "It can temporarily stay in the air or step into the air. A brave and courageous warrior is at least a tenth-level Zuo Shu Commander. Furthermore, the battlefield is chaotic, and you are afraid that you will become the target of the enemy. Why do you want to be used as a target for others? "
He didn't say that Shen Tang was so imaginative and unconstrained that the master could have such fantastic ideas. As long as he wasn't crazy, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Shen Tang pondered for a while.
The chopsticks gestured at a height: "The range of arrows is limited. If you can fly high enough, such as this high! Then no matter how powerful the ground weapons are, they are just living targets, and they will be smashed to the point of losing their temper. Don’t look down on Wangchao.”
Gu Chi just wanted to roll his eyes at his lord.
He has never seen a brave warrior flying so high. Although he failed to roll out his eyes, Shen Tang still read the complaints from his subtle expression, and taught him sincerely: "Watch the tide, there are no absolutes in anything. I didn't say that brave warriors rely on strength to reach heaven, can't they use external force? ?”
Gu Chi: "External force?"
"For example, putting on wings like a bird!"
Gu Chi: "..."
Look The look in his eyes, does he seem to be fooled?
Shen Tang knew at a glance that a sneak attack from the air was out of the question, and Gu Chi and the other two did not have such spirit. She changed her mind: "Since attacking from the air is not feasible, why don't we start from the ground? Why do we have to start from the ground?" Attack? "
There is no rule that you must attack the city head-on.
Both Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng's expressions changed.
The former put away his thoughts and said seriously: "Underground?"
Shen Tang inserted his chopsticks into the sand table under the coordinates of the royal capital and said: "Yes! Ground attacks are easily discovered by the target. Then let’s dig a tunnel and get to their lair while they’re unaware!”
Whether it is the Shiwu King's capital or the capital within the pass, it must defend against attacks from the ground or sudden drops from high altitudes.
The underground is definitely the weak link!
“Ordinary brave warriors don’t have the ability to fly hundreds of feet into the air, but they always have the ability to drill holes in the ground, right? We have more than two thousand people, and we can dig a tunnel to the royal capital. "It's not difficult." Yan Ling is definitely the most unreasonable being. She continued, "If we are afraid that the movement underground will disturb the Shiwu soldiers above, let's dig deeper. How about this?"
She watched their reactions nervously.
Since it is difficult to fight head-on, it is better to be a soldier who never tires of deceit! Why do we have to follow the old process of siege a city?
Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng looked at each other.
Long time——
Gu Chi: "My lord has this good plan, it's very clever. But digging a tunnel is still too wasteful. Although this can directly attack the inner city, it can easily defeat Shiwu. It will cause heavy casualties, but once they react and destroy the tunnel, we will be left passive!"
Shen Tang was a little disappointed.
“Does this mean it’s not feasible?”
Jiang Sheng shook his head and smiled like a cunning old fox: "No, no, Wang Chao means - a cunning rabbit has three burrows! There is only one tunnel that is the only way for us to survive."
Shen Tang: "Then then ...Three?"
Gu Chi said: "Not enough, not enough."
After saying that, he and Jiang Sheng laughed in unison.
Shen Tang on the side felt that black bad water was brewing in their stomachs: "Then what do you mean-thirty articles?"
This workload is also too much.
No matter how capable the old cow is, he can't stand it.
“No, no, no, we don’t need so many. We only need to dig a few big ones, criss-cross them, and spread them all over the underground of the royal capital. We will set up military formations and cooperate with Yanling on the day of the attack to collapse them. , causing the earth dragon to turn over——" Gu Chi stopped laughing, but the upturned corners of his lips still betrayed In order to dampen his good mood, he slapped down the royal capital symbol on the sand table and said coldly, "At that time, I will give them another [Fire Camp]!"
(；′⌒`)
Tangmei (clenching fist): Sooner or later, we will be able to form an air force! Develop various uses for brave warriors in a fancy way!
It is estimated that this dream can only be solved by the emergence of the Mohist school.
PS: Go straight to Huanglong Mansion and have a drink with you. This sentence comes from the biography of Yue Fei, which is the origin of the idiom "straight to the yellow dragon".
