Section 133: The Battle
The silent state means that the Huai You Army has completed the preliminary preparations before the siege war begins and has entered the state of war.
The Huaiyou Army spent a whole day to sort out the supplies, food and equipment, and all four gates were sealed. The 50,000 troops surrounded the entire Qingzhou City and were all in a mess. Everything was waiting for the arrival of that moment.
The thousand-mile mirror in Yang Kan's hand moved slowly, and there were a large number of enemies on the east gate. However, given the height of Qingzhou city, it was difficult to see the whole picture clearly. However, judging from the arrangement of the battlements and the city gate tower, the Pinglu army also made careful preparations.
The piles of stones, the burning pot, the flood of water vapor, the stinky smell, the towering catapult carts, the wolf teeth hanged on the scepter, and the large crossbow chariots that can be seen are enough to show that the Pinglu army dares to be fearless and lacks confidence.
"Old Chai, this battle is not easy to fight." A smile appeared on Yang Kan's lips, "We are well prepared, the enemy is not bad. When the needle is pointed, the defense should take advantage of it."
Chai Yong grinned, "Sir, it's also the location of Pinglu Jun Town, and it's the Qingzhou Prefecture. If there is nothing decent, no one will believe it."
"Well, how do you think we will fight well?" Yang Kan nodded with a cold look. "My lord gave us fifteen days. Well, I set the time for us ten days. In fact, the earlier we get, the smaller our losses will be, but the intensity of the battle will be stronger, especially when it is seven or eight days, I am afraid I have to fill it with my life every day."
"I have a few considerations, please consider it." Chai Yong's eyes were calm, but the bright and flashing splendor still exposed his inner excitement.
"You said." Yang Kan also knew that Chai Yongnai was a powerful general under Yang Wu's command back then, and his combat experience was extremely rich. However, due to Yang Wu's weakness, he was a little misunderstood. Now that he has this opportunity, he must play a good job.
"First, the enemy's troops are far inferior to us. Although we rely on the benefits of the city wall, as long as we make up our minds and exchange casualties for casualties, the other party will not be able to waste us." Seeing that Yang Kan did not express his opinion, Chai Yong knew that this could not impress the other party, and continued: "Second, our army's magic power and equipment power are unparalleled in the world. This should be used to maximize the morale of the other party, and the other party may not have enough understanding of this, so we can make a fuss on this point."
"Oh, you'll say it's more specific." Yang Kan's eyes moved slightly.
"Specifically, it is to use the asymmetry of the understanding between the enemy and the power of magic and the power of the equipment to catch the other party off guard from the beginning, give the other party a blow, and kill the other party's live power. If there is no mistake, Qingzhou City will definitely start to recruit and mobilize the gentry private army and the garrison army in the city. However, in order to prevent the morale, it is mostly used as a backup supplement. In the early stage, the Ya Army and Ping Lu Zuo Army will definitely be the main force. Therefore, we can use the defects and disadvantages of our army's magic power and equipment that are not familiar with Kaichu, to launch high-intensity strikes, and to maximize the killing and consumption of the opponent's elite power. Even if we cannot make a breakthrough for a while, it will make it difficult for us to continue in subsequent wars..."
Yang Kan rubbed his jaw.
Chai Yong did have some tricks.
Before, everyone subconsciously considered step by step, test first, and invested one after another. It was expected that it would not start to enter a white-hot state after four to five days. However, Chai Yong did the opposite and had to do his best from the beginning, putting in the main magic power and equipment, and consuming the enemy's elite.
This step is quite innovative.
I believe that Wang Shouzhong may not be able to wake up, even if he wakes up, it doesn’t matter. The Pinglu army has not experienced the magic power and the power of the equipment that confronts the Huai Youjun. It will definitely take some time to adapt. This adaptation process will make them feel how uncomfortable it will be and how much the price it will cost. They cannot and dare not let the garrison troops and recruited private troops resist it. No one dares to take this risk.
Taking advantage of the unequal intelligence advantages of the previous two days and the power of magic and equipment to cause great damage to the opponent, it can make it difficult for the opponent to fight with his own side in subsequent wars, and thus achieve the goal of victory. Yang Kan thinks it is feasible.
"Is there anything else, Lao Chai?" Yang Kan nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the Lord and General agreed with his own point of view, Chai Yong was also very confident, "There is another point, I think the gap between us and Qingzhou can be fully reflected and displayed at one point..."
"Oh?" Yang Kan became interested, "Which point?"
"That is our advantage in martial arts power. According to information, Pinglu Army has only four people in the small heavenly power, Wang Shouzhong, Wang Shouxin, two powerful generals, Liu Yansi and Zhang Junyue. But now Wang Shouxin and Liu Yansi are not in Qingzhou. Qingzhou's magic power is far less than our Huaiyou, and it is difficult to make up for this with magic power. This gives us a lot of room for play. On the other hand, we, except for the county duke, Lord Yu, Lord Lu, Lord Qin, Lord Hong Kuihong, Lord Lang Kunlang, all have the strength of the small heavenly power. If we dare to lead the way when we climb the city to fight, hehe, this weakness of Pinglu Army's lack of strength will be doubled. It is not impossible to find an opportunity to break through at that time..."
Chai Yong's words were deeply in line with Yang Kan's meaning, but in fact, Yang Kan had plans for this aspect.
Yang Kan has not been idle for the past six months. Seeing that there are more and more masters of Xiaotian rank under Jiang Feng's command, he, Jiang Feng's number one general, not only serves as the Privy Councilor, but also serves as the military envoy of the Huaiyou Left Army, but he does not even have the strength of the Xiaotian rank. Although he does not have the rigid requirement to have the strength of the Xiaotian rank, Yang Kan cannot bear it, especially since his deputy is the strength of the Xiaotian rank. How could he have the power of the main general but not the strength of the Xiaotian rank?
So over the past six months, Yang Kan has been working hard and also shamelessly asked Jiang Feng to help refine a furnace of pills to help improve. It should be said that the effect is still quite obvious. He has entered the realm of the Little Heavenly Realm, but this realm is still very unstable. To be precise, it is still in the status of the sub-small Heavenly Realm. It is similar to Lang Kun, and is even inferior to Chai Yong and the others. But after all, this is a half-step step into the realm of the Little Heavenly Realm. The only thing you need is to have an opportunity to practice, improve and consolidate, and this battle is obviously an excellent opportunity.
It was an opportunity for Yang Kan. Of course he was very happy, but anything could happen on the battlefield. Generals of the level of the military commander were actually no longer encouraged to go into battle in person.
It is hard to say whether people like Yu Mingzhen, Lu Qiming, Qin Han are willing to charge in person. After all, all schools are prepared to deal with the masters of heaven. In addition to the magicians of magicians, magic weapons and heavy crossbows can also cause casualties to the powerful people in heaven, especially if the magic weapons are used properly, they can even easily kill a powerful person in heaven.
This kind of example is common, otherwise the strong people in the heavenly position will decide the outcome. Then everyone practices martial arts, who can compare the overall strength?
It is not uncommon for a hundred people to be enemies, but it is a myth.
"Old Chai, once you put forward this suggestion, I'm afraid everyone may not like it." Yang Kan smiled.
"Sir, so I didn't propose it in the military discussion, and I took this into consideration. However, I thought that if I could not make a contribution to this practice at the level of a small heaven, I could not make a fortune by rushing to the battlefield, what's the point?" Chai Yong spread his hands, "Sir, I made up my mind. In this battle, I would like to take part in person. I want to see the style of the strong man Pinglu and see how great the Dao Zheng Zhang is."
"Haha, Lao Chai, your idea is very consistent with one's intention, and you also intend to take a fight. Otherwise, I always feel that this battle is short of shortcomings." Yang Kan said boldly: "We can't control others. Each family has its own Taoist laws. Our approach may not be the best, but it may be the best for us. However, I still plan to report your suggestions to the county magistrate. I believe that the county magistrate will consider it. In this collection, the magician and equipment will focus on attacking the vital forces. I think it can achieve miraculous effects, especially for the Pinglu army and the group of people who have never fought with our Huaiyou Army. This may give them an unexpected 'surprise'."
"Well, sir, let's do it." Chai Yong was quite happy. Yang Kan was not the kind of person who was greedy for others' credit. This also made Chai Yong respect it very much. This is also the main reason why the two can get along well. "However, if the county public intends to adopt this method in the entire army, it needs to be coordinated well, otherwise it will be a pity if they lose their suddenness and novelty."
"Well, that's natural." Yang Kan said with confidence: "This matter needs to be reported immediately. According to the county magistrate's opinion, if it is decided, we must first arrange the power of the magician and equipment. Once the moat is filled, a full-scale attack can be launched."
"It is best to launch a full-scale attack immediately after filling the moat, because at that time, the enemy's powerful crossbows and archers were still in place. Using our long-range strike weapons and magical equipment to comprehensively attack, it can eliminate a lot of them in one fell swoop, greatly weakening their subsequent counterattack ability. As for the infantry, I think they can be put behind. As long as they destroy their long-range strike power, we can suppress the opponent with our advantage. At that time, we will fight against short-term forces. We, the strong man in the small heavenly position, can completely crush the opponent, and have the advantage of magical weapons. I don't believe how long they can withstand it."
Chapter completed!
