You know, at the beginning of the division of troops.

Zhao Feng had already asked Lu Su to lead 2,500 soldiers to attack Lingqiu County.

After all, although Lingqiu County is a county level, it is actually just promoted from a township to a county.

Nowadays the population is small.

So Zhao Feng asked Lu Su's troops to go to Lingqiu County, and Lu Su himself stayed.

In this way, as long as there is a time difference and Lu Su is given all the credit, it will be over.

Lu Su pondered for a moment: "Lingqiu County is too small, if it takes too long, it will be even more unspeakable." ”

"Now that the credit of Dai County belongs to me, then the credit of Lingqiu County will be given to others!"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "It's okay." ”

"Order Hua Xiong, let him lead the cavalry to Lingqiu County early tomorrow morning, and then let him take Lingqiu County in an hour, and then return to the barracks."

"In addition, Zijing's troops in Lingqiu County can also be transferred back."

Lu Su waved at Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”

After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.

Time passed slowly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

This month.

Zhao Feng led the army and successively took Daijun Dangcheng, Sanggan, Donganyang, Pingshu, Tanshi, Banshi, Beipingyi, and Daoren.

Now the soldiers have come to the county seat of Takayanagi Castle.

At present, in addition to Gao Yanagi, Daijun is also Macheng, and it has not been taken by Zhao Feng.

If you count the time of marching, Zhao Feng's army, in about two days, can conquer a city, and the speed is much faster than when he took Dai County.

After all, it's just a county seat, and the first time it can be said to be a test of the combat power of the soldiers of the county garrison, so it will take some time.

After that, such an excuse will definitely not be used anymore.

Because no matter what, Zhao Feng's army is also more than twenty times the number of soldiers in a county.

Of course, if he wanted to continue to delay time, Takayanagi could let Zhao Feng delay for another two or three months.

After all, Takayanagi is the seat of the county governor, and there are many more garrison soldiers than other county seats.

Putting aside the strong attack, even if Zhao Feng chooses to besiege and die Gaoliu, he will also say it in the past.

Because of the strong capture of Gaoliu, Zhao Feng's army had to kill at least more than 15,000 people.

This is something that any prince along the way is reluctant to.

Therefore, it is very common to choose to besiege Takayanagi when there is an absolute advantage.

This minimum number of casualties is still calculated based on the minimum of 5,000 garrisons in Takayanagi.

If there were more soldiers in the Takayanagi garrison, then the soldiers killed by Zhao Feng would also respond more.

After all, it is to resist the city and defend it, if you can't even fight the three-fold gap, then the people who defend the city are too useless.

When encountering a powerful general defending the city, let alone a three-fold gap, even if it is a tenfold gap, you can fight out.

In other words, it is also possible to meet a general who is very strong in defending the city, with 5,000 soldiers, to resist an army of 50,000.

Of course, this kind of generals are also in the minority.

Even Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao and others couldn't do it.

It's not that they're not good, but for defending the city, they can't reach that level either.

can fight with a five-fold gap, which is considered a very good general.

With the abilities of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others, it can be done under normal circumstances.

If Dian Wei is guarding the city alone, he can do it if he is careful.

Of course, this refers to conventional warfare.

There are also unconventional wars.

For example, using catapults.

It's just that this thing is inconvenient to transport, time-consuming and laborious, maintenance is also a problem, and accuracy is a bigger problem.

Of course, the most important thing is that to cultivate this kind of soldier who can throw stones, it is entirely up to time to accumulate.

And because the catapult is too threatening, the enemy will definitely find a way to destroy it.

The problem is that the enemy wants to destroy, and it is also very easy.

To put it simply, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate the stone throwing department.

Maybe one battle, it's all over.

Therefore, unless it is a particularly difficult city, the catapult will be used as a weapon of war, and it will not be used under normal circumstances.

Of course, Zhao Feng has not yet built a catapult.

Because Zhao Feng thinks that the current stone-throwing technology is too poor!

But if Zhao Feng had to get it himself, Zhao Feng couldn't figure it out.

So I can only wait to meet talents in this area, and Zhao Feng will put forward some ideas for others to improve.

Catapult is a kind of war weapon, Zhao Feng was a special soldier before, and he also knew a little about it.

In the Spring and Autumn period, there were special battles, which were the use of catapults.

After that, the Han Dynasty was unified, and although there was a slight improvement, there was no significant improvement.

After all, the Han Dynasty has been around for hundreds of years, and relatively speaking, there are not many civil wars.

And foreign wars, it is not needed.

It was not until after the Sui and Tang dynasties that catapults became an important weapon for attacking and defending cities.

In the Song Dynasty, catapult technology was further developed, and it was no longer only used for siege warfare, but also for field battles.

At this time, catapult technology has reached its peak.

And the catapult technology of the Song Dynasty, because it has developed to the peak, so Zhao Feng will pay a little attention to it.

In other words, the catapult technology that Zhao Feng now understands is the pinnacle technology of the Song Dynasty.

With the current situation of the Han Dynasty, only those who specialize in catapults may understand.

After all, thousands of years have passed, and the current catapult is just a simple lever principle, and it is still pulled by manpower.

The catapults of the Song Dynasty have made use of mechanical principles, although they are still simple mechanical principles, but they are also much more profound than the simple lever principle.

Of course, if Zhao Feng had seen the detailed drawings, Zhao Feng would have been able to get them out after spending some time.

The main thing is that Zhao Feng has not seen the detailed drawings, but only the appearance drawings, so he can only put forward ideas by Zhao Feng, and then others will improve them.

Unless Zhao Feng focused on it, unfortunately, Zhao Feng couldn't have so much time.

this day.

Lu Su walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord." ”

"We've been stationed outside the South Gate of Takayanagi for a day."

"How is the lord going to 'take' Takayanagi?"

Zhao Feng smiled: "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

"Anyway, it's all a negotiated exercise."

"The specific situation still depends on how much time we need Takayanagi and buy us."

Lu Su pondered for a moment: "Since this is the case, then let the army retreat ten miles, and then repair." ”

"As soon as we come, we are about to enter the end of the year."

"During this time, soldiers began to feel homesick, even if it was an exercise, it would have an impact on the morale of the army."

"Second, we claim that more than 15,000 soldiers have been killed in battle."

"With the current situation of our army, if Takayanagi is besieged to death, it will attract attention."

After all, if you want to besiege the city gates on all sides of Takayanagi, the total number of troops must not be too small.

And Zhao Feng originally came with an army of 44,000 and killed 15,000 soldiers, and among the remaining 29,000 troops, more than 15,000 were cavalry.

In other words, with 14,000 soldiers, it is impossible to besiege the four gates of Takayanagi to death!
