Chapter 225 Countermeasures
As a general, one must remain calm at all times, so as to have the ability to judge calmly and rationally.
"Then what are we going to do now?" Pan Feng looked at Hao Zhao with a calm face and asked softly.
"Wait, defend the city!" Hao Zhao said with a serious face, his eyes revealing a cold look.
He wants to defend Yuancheng, and the enemy understands that they need to buy time. They will launch a general attack tomorrow at the latest, and they must take Yuancheng at all costs.
And what I have to do is to hold on to Yuancheng and wait for His Highness to return.
Then Hao Zhao asked everyone to hurry up and rest, because he knew that since the enemy wanted to tempt them to attack, they would not attack again in a short time.
What's more, when they are ready now, they absolutely cannot leave the city, they can only find favorable opportunities in the battle!
At night, the starry sky flickered, the breeze gently caressed, and every now and then there was the sound of insects outside the city.
Time passed slowly, the night became deeper and deeper, the surrounding weather became more and more gloomy and cold, and the entire military camp of the Kuixing City army was silent.
Only the surrounding bonfires were beating from time to time, and the soldiers yawned lightly with a slack look on their faces.
At this time, in Liang Yangfan's tent in the middle of the barracks, Liang Yangfan and the two generals were waiting for Yuancheng's sneak attack, while the other generals had already led the army to ambush.
But when the moonlight shines through the tent, the time has passed.
Liang Yangfan sighed slightly, while the other two generals also showed disappointment.
Sure enough, the defending generals who can make King Qin stay behind should not be underestimated.
After Liang Yangfan sighed slightly, he couldn't say how disappointed he was, and immediately said to the two generals beside him: "Immediately notify the first batch of troops, and now go to feign attack Yuancheng, and wait for half an hour after feinting to attack Yuancheng. At the time, another batch will follow, I want everyone in Yuancheng to have no rest, and keep my nerves tense, until tomorrow Tianming takes Yuancheng in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!"
The two generals said sharply.
Immediately, a general led a 50,000-strong army to dispatch, and quietly came to the back of Yuancheng three miles away with the help of the night.
Immediately, the drums rang out, and the cold horn sounded, which woke the soldiers on the edge of the city one after another, and the soldiers who had been on guard on the top of the city, when they saw the army charged with dense fire in the distance, immediately panicked. shouting:
"The enemy has attacked the city!"
"The enemy has attacked the city!"
"The enemy has attacked the city!"
Immediately, many soldiers came to the front of the city one after another, and the arrows from the opposite shop fell into the city wall one after another.
When Hao Zhao and other generals stood on the top of the city and watched the opposing army rush over, they immediately asked the defenders to shoot arrows.
However, when the enemy army was about to rush to the edge of the city with shields and ladders and other siege machines, Hao Zhao was about to let the soldiers pour gold juice to roll the wood, when suddenly there was an order to withdraw from the distance, and the enemy troops below the city retreated!
Ok?
At this time, Hao Zhao, Pan Feng and other generals defending the city, Yi Ning:
What does the enemy army mean?
Immediately, when the soldiers put down their bows and arrows and their faces relaxed, suddenly the group of enemy troops outside the city rushed over again!
The soldiers at the head of the city looked nervously at the enemy below, and shot the arrows in their hands one after another.
However, it didn't take long before they retreated again!
However, before they could relax, the enemy army came again!
This battle continued for an hour.
At this time, the soldiers on the top of the city were nervous and relaxed. They were nervous that the enemy army was coming to attack Yuancheng City. It was easy for the enemy army to retreat behind the city wall every time.
When this group of troops retreated again, this time they really retreated.
At this time, the soldiers on the top of the city cheered, thinking that they had really repelled the enemy army that came tonight.
At this time, the general defending the city saw something was wrong, and immediately asked Hao Zhao, "General, why is the enemy army attacking Yuancheng like this this time? What's the point of doing so?"
Immediately, the generals looked at Hao Zhao, and Hao Zhao said solemnly, "Did you see the number of people who attacked this time?"
Pan Feng looked at the traces of the previous battle below, and said directly: "The maximum number of troops who came to attack the city this time is 50,000 soldiers and horses. They are feigning to attack Yuancheng!"
"Fake attack!"
Everyone condensed, and Hao Zhao said solemnly: "Yes, they should not want to let our army rest, they deliberately came to attack Yuancheng, you see that their army this time is only 50,000 troops, just enough to limit us, They have more than 200,000 troops, and they are likely to divide the 200,000 troops into several groups to attack the city. This is a conspiracy, an upright conspiracy, and the enemy wants us to have no rest tonight!"
Hao Zhao and the others were very helpless. There were too many enemy troops, so they could harass them directly. If they really had 50,000 horses every time, they could only guard at the city gate, and they still had 20,000 horses left. No, they can't afford it at all. Even if they lose 50,000 horses, they can still afford it.
What's more important now is that if they keep harassing their army like this and keep the soldiers in a tense state, once they launch a general attack tomorrow, it will be difficult to hold on to the state of the defending army!
I saw a general saying: "General, since the enemy is feigning attack, then we might as well let the soldiers take turns to rest in half Nearly 9,000 soldiers should be able to defend!"
Ok!
The general next to him nodded in approval!
I saw Hao Zhao pondered for a while, and then his eyes brightened: "Now you should gather all the craftsmen to make at least 5,000 scarecrows immediately and make them wear military uniforms, and then put them on the top of the city, with the help of the cover of the night, the enemy It is very difficult for the army to find out whether it is true or false, and if they really send another 50,000 people to attack Yuancheng, then we will send 4,000 troops to defend Yuancheng immediately!"
"Yes!"
The generals looked at Hao Zhao with admiration!
Immediately go down and command the soldiers to make scarecrows with the previous craftsmen. They all know that time is very short, and the enemy army will come soon!
However, Hao Zhao said to Pan Feng next to him: "General Pan Feng, I hope that this time you will lead 10,000 soldiers out of the city to ambush first. The enemy will definitely send 50,000 troops next time, and this time we will pretend to know that they take turns. Fake attack, and then we deliberately send 3,000 troops to defend the city, so that the generals from the opposite side feel that they can really take Yuancheng, and really come to attack Yuancheng. When they are attacking Yuancheng fiercely, you immediately lead the army behind. Attack them and defeat them!"
"Yes!"
I saw that Pan Feng's eyes were slightly bright, and immediately after taking orders, he led 10,000 soldiers out of the city secretly!
Hao Zhao looked at the direction of the distant enemy camp with bright eyes. The enemy wanted to exhaust his defenders, but he could also use the darkness to cover up the scarecrow as the number of defenders to confuse them.
But once or twice is fine. If it takes a long time, the enemy will be easy to find out. The only way is to ambush them first, let them shoot the rat, and then arrange the scarecrow soldiers, which will reduce the risk of exposure!
