Chapter 642 Internal Discussion (Additional update based on the previous monthly ticket accumulation of 900)
Sufficient city defense forces, coupled with the existence of Zhou Xu, a humanoid cannon, make up for their city defense experience to a large extent. Insufficient defects.
After a round of strong attacks, the siege troops led by Long Zhantian could be said to have tried their best, but they were unable to attack the Huangsha City.
After the initial explosive attack, Long Zhantian could see that their momentum had begun to wane.
Looking at the opponent, they have already stabilized their position. If they continue to fight, they may not be able to take advantage.
After Long Zhantian thought about it in his mind, even though he was annoyed, he still made a rational decision and retreated his troops.
Looking at the retreating enemy troops, Zhou Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This first battle to defend the city was really more tiring than he expected.
After the war, Zhou Xu also summoned his generals to conduct a post-war summary.
“There is no problem with our tactics. It was the lack of experience of the soldiers during the actual implementation process and the miscalculation of the opponent’s strength that caused subsequent problems. These guys’ siege The troops cannot be underestimated.”
Speaking of the latter part, Shi Lei's voice unconsciously contained a hint of happiness.
“Thanks to the king being in charge of this city defense battle, otherwise it would have been a different situation.”
In this city defense battle, Zhou Xu’s presence indeed played a crucial role. It played an important role. The enemy used the siege tower to target their wall area. The first round of the most threatening attack was fought back by Zhou Xu using the mantra of 'flying stone attack'.
Afterwards, the opponent switched to using a battering ram to score the goal. Zhou Xu also used the 'flying stone attack' to destroy the battering ram and contain the opponent's offensive.
To say that he is the key figure in this battle is really not a problem at all.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu was not satisfied. He was more concerned about the upcoming battle.
“The other side has been fighting everywhere in the past few years, annexing surrounding countries to expand its territory. In the process, it has accumulated more experience in sieges. It is normal to surpass us in this area, but we don’t need to Too discouraged.”
“We didn’t have enough experience in defending the city before. For us, the most difficult thing was the first battle. Now that we have survived this battle, we have gained strength. It’s a good thing to gain experience.”
“Now let’s talk about what situations we encountered in the battle to defend the city. Take this opportunity to exchange experiences with each other and make a summary. "
Zhou Xu's words made the generals headed by Shi Lei nod their heads, and then they started talking one by one.
The atmosphere of the entire internal discussion was quite good. After their internal discussion, Zhou Xu gave an order to Hilke...
"Silk, go and call Bai Tu over."
“Yes!”
Compared with the generals sitting here at this time, Bai Tu is still just an outsider after all, and Zhou Xu cannot be stupid just because the other party has a five-star panel. Trust the other person.
During their internal discussions, it was inevitable that some of their shortcomings at the military level would be exposed, and these shortcomings could not be known to Bai Tu for the time being.
Only then did he wait until the internal discussion was over before calling Bai Tu over.
After all, the opponent also has 500 troops, which is an important part of the Huangsha City defenders. In addition, more importantly, facing this enemy, Bai Tu is more experienced than them.
"Subordinate Bai Tu, please see your Majesty!"
"Without courtesy, we are planning to discuss the next countermeasures. You have more experience in fighting with the other party. For their The path should be clearer than ours," Zhou Xu said, motioning for Bai Tu to sit down and join the discussion.
However, in the following discussion, the information Bai Tu could provide them was actually limited.
Zhou Xu, who had seen the opponent's panel, knew clearly that Bai Tu's talent was in attacking cities and fortifying them. For him, defending a city was somewhat unprofessional.
Although it cannot be said that it cannot be used at all, it cannot give full play to its advantages.
Under this premise, there was actually no problem with the city defense tactics Zhou Xu and the others had formulated before, and they even targeted the opponent's siege tactics to a certain extent.
The fight was not that smooth. Chun Chun just lacked experience.
In this field that they are not good at, their king has already reached this point. As a subordinate, Bai Tu naturally doesn't have much room to offer opinions.
"Then Bai Tu, what do you think the other party will do next?"
Faced with this question, Bai Tu slowly spoke after pondering for a while...
"The opponent should know how powerful we are in this battle. According to my subordinates' thoughts, the next step is to confirm, and also to test whether we still have the strength to fight. In the next few days, the opponent will most likely choose to continue. If the attack on the city fails to achieve results, they should give up the attack for the time being."
As he spoke, Bai Tu gathered his thoughts again, and he continued to speak without Zhou Xu asking any more questions. stand up.
After all, after surrendering to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he also wanted to perform well and gain the trust of their king as soon as possible, so as to gain a stable position.
“The opponent’s visual strength is only more than 3,000 troops. According to our defensive strength, it will be difficult for the opponent to attack by force. To adopt a siege is to seek death. The best way in the future is probably Retreat first, gather more troops, and then attack!"
At this point, Bai Tu hesitated and then added.
"If the opponent gathers more than 5,000 siege troops in the future, we will be in danger. According to the scale of China, it is not difficult to achieve this."
After listening to Bai After reading Tu's analysis and thoughts, Zhou Xu nodded.
Regarding the other party's subsequent actions, it can be said that he and Bai Tu had the same ideas.
“If the other side comes to attack with five thousand troops, judging from the current situation, this small yellow sand city will definitely not be able to defend it.”
“But the other side has started from the beginning After we breached the city gate and the general withdrew, it took more than two months before he attacked again."
"If my guess is correct, the other party carried out the attack after that. Recruit soldiers, train them for two months and then rush to the battlefield."
"The other side needs to gather 5,000 troops, and at least two to three thousand more soldiers must be recruited. Considering the training time, we will. I can still get a month or two.”
Having said this, Zhou Xu estimated the time in his mind.
"One or two months will be enough for us to transfer all the residents in Huangsha City. At the same time, our reinforcements should also be able to arrive."
He is not You are such a fool, you can't really fight against the opponent with only a thousand troops.
Just in case, the follow-up reinforcements must be prepared in advance.
