The first thousand one hundred and thirty-three chapters defeat
After the meeting, everyone dispersed, but the deputy general stayed.
Although Longkodo adjusted his offensive strategy, he also proposed to learn the early siege method of the Ming army, that is, the trick of opening the Dihua city wall by blasting operations, and increase the intensity of the firearms to change the battle situation.
But even so, Longkodo is still not sure about winning this war. After all, the basis of this combat method adopted by the Ming army at that time is that the Ming army's siege is stronger than the city.
Only this is the only point that once the attacking party breaks the city, it can make a decisive change from the situation to the strength of the defending party, thereby breaking the city.
But now it is different. Both sides are almost equal in power. Longkodo is still at a disadvantage in terms of geographical advantage. There are military tactics. If you surround it ten times, attack it five times, fight it twice, fight it, and the enemy can divide it, guard it at least, and avoid it if it is worse.
Now both sides are equal, let alone surround them and attack them, even fighting them is barely enough. Longkodo is a man who fought an old war. Doesn't he understand this principle?
The reason for leaving the deputy general is that this deputy general in the army is Longkodo's confidant. Although the others are subordinates, they have to be absolutely trusted but impossible. And then again, the real core of this battle is not to win, but to be on the question of attitude, and to fight to Prince Yong, so Longkodo has to fight anyway.
The probability of breaking the city and capturing Prince Guo is too small unless Prince Guo is so stupid that he leads a small army to fight with his army. Therefore, if the balance of victory falls on his side, Longkodo must think of another way and bite a piece of meat on Prince Guo first.
After several days of battle, Longkodo had already understood the opponent's tactics in secret, and he was clearer that frontal combat would not have much effect. So Longkodo thought of another way, which was to use the cover of the frontal battlefield to attract the troops placed by Prince Guo outside the city and give him a painful blow.
In the next few days, Longkodo's troops continued to attack the city while adjusting their tactics, but Prince Guo defended tightly. As for the so-called blasting operation, there was not much progress. Prince Guo had been on guard against this for a long time. After a few times, not only did not break the city wall, but he suffered heavy casualties.
After four or five days of this battle, Longkodo's troops gradually declined and their attack strength became weaker. Prince Guo saw this and was even more indifferent to Longkodo.
Seeing that Longkodo's offensive was exhausted, Prince Guo was secretly happy. He felt that if he continued to fight like this, as long as Longkodo was more powerful, the opponent would soon be unable to hold on. At that time, he would fight back and defeat the opponent directly. By that time, Longkodo was solved. Not only would there be no opponent in the Western Regions, he would also be able to return to the army to settle the score with Prince Yong.
At this moment, both sides were planning on each other. On the sixth day, Longkodo's troops only took down half a day after siege. This was the only half-day attack by Longkodo's troops since the war began.
On the seventh day, the siege continued, but compared with the previous period, Longkodo's troops seemed to be inadequate in morale. Not only was the offensive force much smaller, but even the supporting artillery fire was weak and no more shots were fired.
On the tenth day, according to the explanation of Longkodo soldiers captured on the battlefield, the army had insufficient food and grass, and Longkodo was urging the transportation of food and grass in the rear.
By the 13th day, Longkodo's attack had become a formality. At this time, Prince Guo was so happy that he even had the idea of finding an opportunity to open the city to fight back. However, this idea was temporarily suppressed because he had to wait for another good news to arrive. Only when this news came will Prince Guo be fully confident to defeat Longkodo.
On the fifteenth, the war continued, and the two sides fought and stopped. The attacking side performed completely differently from the initial stage, as if they were two troops. Moreover, they sent fewer and fewer direct attacks, and more of them were just using firearms from a distance to hit a few times.
On the 17th day, just as Prince Guo felt that good news should be heard, suddenly his troops came down to report that someone had been deployed outside had returned.
"Okay! OK! Bring people here!"
When Prince Guo heard the news, his mouth was so sharp that his mouth was almost cracked, and he quickly brought someone to bring him. But who would have thought that when the person came into the hall, Prince Guo carefully looked at the appearance of the person, he was so excited that he was suddenly as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water.
"Who are you? Why are you like this..." Prince Guo asked anxiously with his eyes narrowed.
The visitor stumbled forward a few steps after entering the hall, and then fell down directly in front of Prince Guo. The visitor was covered in ragged armor, covered in blood, and could hardly tell the appearance. One arm was hanging as if it was broken.
"Master, the slave is Fengsheng! Master!"
"Are you Fengsheng's embryo?" Prince Guo looked carefully, waved his hand and asked someone to bring water to help the person wipe away the blood stains on his face. When the blood stains were gone, a familiar face finally showed up. Who is Fengsheng's embryo?
"Why are you like this? What about Fuling? Where are others?" Prince Guo was shocked and vaguely noticed uneasiness, but there was a vague chance of luck, and he couldn't help asking.
"Master Fu...Master Fu died in battle..." Feng Sheng's expression was full of grief and said with tears: "Master, not only Master Fu, but tens of thousands of brothers! We were all trapped by Longkodo...Master, we were trapped by Longkodo. Master. After the battle, the brothers were killed and injured. Master Fu was killed on the spot. If it weren't for the slaves who fought desperately, they would almost never see you, Master..."
"What!" Prince Guo's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but shake.
Fuling's army is over? This is impossible! Impossible!
Fulinga was a general under his command, and it was an exaggeration to say that he was a war. In the capture of the Western Regions, Fulinga made great contributions. This time, he was asked to lead his troops outside and wait for an opportunity to fight, especially to find a way to cut off Longkodo's food route. Prince Guo had high hopes for him.
But now he is actually dead? How is this possible? Fulinga led ten thousand elite soldiers. This unit was drawn from the main force and handed over to him. It was his powerful trump card to completely defeat Longkodo. For a moment, Prince Guo could not believe this fact, but heard Feng Sheng'er's crying again. The facts told him that Fulinga and his troops had indeed been destroyed.
Gripping his teeth and trying to keep himself in a state of justice, Prince Guo asked Feng Sheng'er to explain the whole matter carefully. With Feng Sheng'er's account, Fu Ling'er's defeat and death were revealed.
It turned out that Fulinga, who was leading the troops, had been looking for an opportunity to cut off Longkodo's food route. It was finally heard three days ago that Longkodo had a large amount of food and grass to be escorted. Fulinga, who learned about the information, was overjoyed and rushed over with his troops, and decided to set up an ambush to seize the other party's food and grass in one fell swoop.
But no one expected that this was a trap. At first, Fuling's progress was smooth, and when he arrived at the place, he set up an ambush. Before long, more than 2,000 troops from Longkodo came with a convoy carrying food and grass like a long dragon. Finding the opportunity, Fuling's order issued an offensive order. When his troops appeared, the other party was startled. How could the more than 2,000 baggage troops in the face of Fuling's army be stopped? He immediately left the food and grass and fled in scattered.
In less than half an hour, all the food, supplies and supplies fell into Fuling's hand. This battle was too easy. Just when Fuling's happy, he commanded the troops to gather the convoy. Just as he was about to evacuate, suddenly a large army of Longkodo appeared around him, and the number of the opponent was several times that of Fuling's. In addition, there were elite firearm troops.
Seeing this scene, Fuling A was shocked. He immediately thought of himself as a hunter. Who would have thought that he was a hunter? Longkodo clearly used this to attract himself to the trap. However, Fuling A was brave and good at fighting, so he was not too afraid. After all, he still had troops in his hands, so it would be fine if he could not run even if he fought hard.
But he never expected that at this moment, there was a problem in his army. The food and supplies he seized suddenly exploded. It turned out that the so-called food and supplies were simply something that contained gunpowder and tinea oil. In addition, Longkodo also sent some dead soldiers to hide them, waiting for the opportunity to ignite the fire.
This explosion caused the troops he was gathering to be in chaos in an instant, and countless people were killed and injured on the spot, and many places were ignited. At the same time, Longkodo's troops, who had already prepared, launched an attack. Under its overwhelming force, Fuling's troops could not have the idea of resisting like headless flies. There were swords and swords everywhere on the battlefield. In a short while, Fuling's troops completely collapsed, and even the main general Fuling's troops were killed in the formation...
