“Clever and smart?”
When Li Shang heard this, he couldn’t help but recite it after him.
In fact, he was still somewhat unable to understand why a smart person would suffer instead.
Just like His Highness the Crown Prince, wasn’t it because he was smarter than them?
That’s why he had always felt that the smarter one was, the better.
But again, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who said this, and he couldn’t refute it.
Seemingly seeing the doubts in Li Shang’s mind, considering the other party’s relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhou Bo with a few moments of patience said.
“Nowadays, although our army is small in number, but we are strong in battle, even if the other party has an army of 100,000, they would not dare to engage us in a frontal battlefield. ”
“But our army also has weaknesses, long distance expedition, in the western region also has no fixed city can do rear, all the supplies long distance travelling consumption is great, at most can support two months, so for Zhang Liang, as long as can survive these two months then he has already won. “Remember in a second
“This is also why Zhang Liang held on to his position. ”
Listening to Zhou Bo’s explanation, Li Shang couldn’t help but slightly open his mouth wide and
“That Zhang Liang could actually calculate our army’s food and provisions?”
Grain and supply wagons are the secrets of the army, how could the other party know?
Zhou Bo said extremely blandly.
“Zhang Liang once stayed in the army and knows the consumption of our army, plus the time pattern of transporting grain and provisions, a little bit of calculations will be able to come up with it. ”
Hearing this, Li Shang was already speechless, and
How did that heart of these smart people grow?
How could he not think of this?
I’m going to have to learn to be like this when I have children of my own in the future.
Although he had already been convinced by the other party, he still prayed in his heart that the other party would really not send troops to surround and kill them.
It’s not that he’s afraid of death, since he took the initiative to follow General Lu and stay with them, he has already put life and death at risk.
To die in battle, to die for the country was the supreme honour of a soldier.
He was only worried that without the front to hold back, the Qin cavalry would be besieged if they raided into the rear. He is just worried that without the front to hold, raid into the rear, the Qin cavalry will be besieged.
Thinking of this, Li Shang quickly asked that
“General then when do we attack? ”
The more noise they made, the less risk of the cavalry being discovered.
Zhou Bo said at this time, but faintly.
“There’s no rush, let the generals slow down a bit in building siege equipment as well, if he wants to stall for time, we’ll stall for time as well. ”
“Hang him for two days first. ”
Li Shang stopped asking more questions at this time, knowing that there was no way to compare his mind with these people.
He quickly led the order to leave.
For the next two days, the two sides just spent them peacefully.
On the city wall this day, a Western soldier looked at the busy Qin army camp not far below the city and
and spoke to his companion next to him.
“How come these Qin people have been here for a few days without attacking, and have been repairing things. ”
The companion, hearing his words, said, without good humour, that
“Is this not good? We’re not the ones who’ll be unlucky in a real fight. ”
“It’s not like you don’t know how tough those Qin troops are. ”
Hearing this, the Western Region soldier seemed to remember something his face was a bit ugly and said.
“Who says it’s not, I can always remember that day that merchant group, less than a hundred people killed the entire city lord’s mansion, that’s several hundred people. ”
“What do you think our master is doing messing with these Qin people? ”
The companion said with a sigh that
“Alas, who knows what those nobles are thinking, I originally heard that this is supposed to be the city of the Qin people, I am already learning the Qin language, thinking that when the time comes, I will bring my family along to Great Qin, I heard those merchants say that Great Qin is filled with gold, so as long as I go there, I will definitely be able to live a good life! ”
Hearing these words, the Western Region soldiers couldn’t help but have a trace of longing emerge in their eyes.
They, the ordinary people of the Western Region, also wanted to live an honest life.
The two of them faintly lamented, and the Western Region soldier once again looked at the Qin army camp below the city and said with a smile, the
“If only these people were just pretending, we’d all deal with those nobles and then go back to live our lives…”
Just before he could finish his words, a cold voice came from the side, just before he could finish his words, a cold voice came from the side and
“What are you guys talking about? ”
The two of them turned their heads to see Zhang Liang arriving at their side at an unknown time…
They were extremely panicked and fell to their knees, saying that
“Master, we won’t dare to do it again! Please forgive us! ”
They didn’t even dare to be sophomoric, because once they were discovered, they would only usher in a more severe punishment.
Zhang Liang said with a cold face at this time.
“Pull them all down. ”
Soon two western soldiers wailed and were brought down by the others, the
That Zhang Liang’s face didn’t look the slightest bit better, as he kept recalling the words of the two men in his mind, the
He actually had some doubts too.
Although the Qin army had set up camp and built siege equipment, it had been two days and there was no other movement. Is
certainly more than a thought in his mind that
“If the Qin army’s presence here is just a front…”
Thinking of this Zhang Liang couldn’t help but narrow his eyes,, if that was the case,, then they were in danger.
Zhang Liang took a slight breath at this time and
“Come on people, pass the order for the 20,000 man team to leave the city…”
Only before he could finish his words, a sharp cry suddenly came to mind at the city gates, the
“The Qin army is killing over! ”
Zhang Liang couldn’t help but look over and saw that at that moment, the Qin army had set up their military formation and were slowly leaning towards the city.
This is where the little bit of doubt that he just had was thrown out of the sky.
If there was a shortage of manpower, how would the other side dare to attack the city so arrogantly!
So he ordered in a deep voice.
“All ministries stand firm, anyone who dares to retreat will be beheaded!”
The main force in his hands was the slave army, and he had to control these people with harsh military law.
The archers on the city pool were ready to shoot,, this was the advantage of the defending side. The archers on the city pool were ready to shoot,, this was the advantage of the defending side.
The city wall can be used as a cover.
Soon the Qin army had reached a stone’s throw below the city, and if they went further, the archers could release their arrows.
, but the foremost Qin troops stopped, and then made way for a road that
A rack of giant bows and crossbows were pushed to the front.
Seeing this scene Zhang Liang’s eyes snapped open, of course he recognised this thing, and instantly shouted, the
“Take cover! ”
He himself darted back and hid in a corner.
The soldiers on the walls also took cover.
Then the next instant, the
The air was filled with a cracking sound, followed by the rattling sound of crossbow arrows sticking into wood and stone.
But luckily there weren’t many direct kills and injuries, only in the next instant they turned pale.
Because they smelled a familiar odour of
A Western Region soldier looked over after the smell and saw that on top of the crossbow, a sticky and pungent black liquid was slowly flowing down the shaft.
Of course they recognised this thing… it was sold from their hands…
At once, they trembled and shouted.
“Leave the walls, leave the walls! ”
Just before his words fell, another burst of crossbow arrows struck, only this time, they all carried flames!
Boom!
A burst of fire!
A piece of the front wall went up in flames!
Zhou Bo and Li Shang at the bottom of the city couldn’t help but freeze for a moment when they saw this scene, the
Li Shang said with a few moments of hesitation that
“General, can’t we take this opportunity to take the city?”
