Xue Wanche looked at the battlefield in front of him, his brows were furrowed, it was difficult to stretch, not for anything else, the battle was too stalemate and suffered heavy losses, the Tang army had killed more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Roman legions also had more than 30,000 soldiers, not to mention the Persian legions, which died miserably, and had replenished the soldiers and horses three or four times, but the fortress was still so strong, and not a single auxiliary city was breached, Xue Wanche gathered all the staff officers of the Tang Dynasty to design tactics, but it still failed.

The people who built this fortress obviously thought of a qiē, and thought of a place where qiē could be used to attack the fortress here, maybe they had conducted many simulation exercises, and attacked in many ways from many places, otherwise these guys would not have used the fastest degree to fight back in the most lethal way as soon as they saw the coalition forces attacking, looking at that degree, it was very tightly designed, and the garrison army was also very skilled.

One main city, four auxiliary cities, the Three Kingdoms Alliance lost seventy or eighty thousand soldiers but still couldn't take a city, even if it killed at least fifty or sixty thousand Arab troops, but as long as the city couldn't be taken, even if there was only one person left on the other side, it would be very fatal, several cities complement each other, absolute strategy is only the vision of everyone, Xue Wanche felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and at the same time he also felt that if artillery could be used from the beginning, such a large casualty could be avoided.

"Send someone again to ask where the gunpowder and shells are! I said it was coming three days ago, and it hasn't arrived yet! How long do you want me to wait! Damn it! Tens of thousands of lives are lost in a day, they are not worried, I am still worried! Xue Wanche was very angry and ordered the soldiers around him.

However, the soldier seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago, and said: "Great commander, the Flying Eagle has not broken for a day. The last time we heard was an hour ago, and they were a day away from us. ”

Xue Wanche said angrily: "There is one more day! One more day! Yesterday it was a day, today is still a day! Are they playing with Ben Shuai! Don't want a head! ”

The soldier looked helpless: "Dashuai, isn't it a big water?" The roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and delays are unavoidable. And this time they brought something that could prevent moisture and moisture, and it seemed that they could ensure that the gunpowder would not get wet, which is also a good thing! ”

Xue Wanche waved his arm: "If those Mo family disciples in the Ministry of Industry can't even solve these things, they will die!" The imperial court spends so much money on research for them, not to let them eat, drink and have fun, but to do practical things! Really. If only sooner, we would have been invincible, damn it! ”

The soldier stopped talking, Xue Wanche scolded for a while, didn't speak, and left here. Back to the commander's tent, there, a group of staff officers were racking their brains to find a way to break through this fortress, the mutual cooperation of the five fortress cities made it impossible for the strongest Tang army to break through them, and they did not propose tactics, but without exception, even the army led by Xue Rengui himself was defeated. Xue Rengui was also shot with an arrow.

Xue Rengui was extremely angry about this, and vowed to personally lead the army to break through this fortress, and then he put forward the idea of leading the army to make a detour to cut off the retreat of the fortress, cut off the connection between this fortress and the rear, cut off their supplies of food, water, ordnance and materials, etc., and make this fortress a dead city.

Xue Wanche dismissed the angry words of Xue Rengui and those staff officers, not to mention that these five fortresses were here to completely cut off the Tang army's approach. It's not unthinkable about the detour, the surrounding maps have been drawn, and even the sand table has been built, but there is no way to bypass the sudden appearance behind the fortress, and it seems that when this fortress was built. The builders have already blocked the surrounding roads, or there are no roads at all.

I have to say that such speculation is not without reason, according to Xue Wanche, since the founder can think of so many things, naturally he will not think that someone will think of turning this fortress into a lonely city by making a detour, and then trap them, he must have more other ideas, Xue Wanche did not allow Xue Rengui to do this kind of thing, nor did he promise to poison this kind of thing, what if people have wells that use groundwater for drinking, and do not use river water at all?

Xue Wanche had already made up his mind to wait for the artillery ammunition to be delivered to raze the fortress to the ground, the trebuchet and the eight-ox crossbow had done their best, but there was no way, the ladder and the well were almost gone, it was really helpless, so Xue Wanche had to pin his last hope on the artillery, the Romans and Persians also suffered great losses, and they really couldn't withstand further blows, so they just stopped the attack, rested, and waited for the arrival of the artillery.

One more day.

The whole army began to make corrections, preparing for tomorrow's battle to break the city, and in the city, Senasi also seemed to smell a trace of unknown, he was keenly aware that the three kingdoms alliance army did not attack the city today It seems to be an ominous omen, before they were constantly attacking, attacking from morning to night, but now, why did they suddenly stop attacking? He climbed the wall and looked out over the enemy camp, where they were indeed resting.

Tired from fighting and need to rest?

Senasi doesn't know why, he always feels that this situation is a little weird, it's been almost two months, the war has been fought for so long, he is also very familiar with the opponent on the other side, the war has reached this point and he has to rest, he feels very incredible, the other party has indeed suffered heavy losses, but his own losses are very strict, losing at least sixty or seventy thousand troops, fifty thousand of the most elite garrisons have lost more than 30,000 soldiers, and the other armies have lost very strict zhòng, and the reserves have begun to be transferred into the city to undertake defense tasks, The opponent should feel the decline in their combat ability.

The 50,000 most elite garrisons have understood all aspects of this fortress, but not every soldier understands it, the 100,000 reserve army does not understand, and without veterans with them, they cannot accurately and accurately use the defense facilities to attack the enemy, which is very important, but they chose to retreat at this time, which makes Sennasi not understand, right. What else do they have in mind? What else do they want to do?

However, Senasi still breathed a sigh of relief, after so long, his fifty-year-old body was a little unbearable, and if he could rest for a day, it would undoubtedly be very good for him. If you could take a break, it is probably the same idea of all the soldiers and generals, and not only that, but also the people in the city who are desperately supporting the battle, right? Indeed, it was very fatal to fight, and there was no rest for two months. The enemy does not rest, and naturally neither can we.

But when the enemy rested, we could rest, and although I don't know how long they were going to rest, but a minute counted as a minute, and Senassi found a place to sit down. He sat with a soldier who had been wounded in the leg and had to sit next to him, many of whom had wanted to stand up and salute, but Senassi waved his hand and was spared.

"How long has it been since the injury? When was the injury? Senasi asked the wounded soldier with a smile.

The wounded soldier said with some restraint: "A few days ago, I was shot through the calf by an arrow, but fortunately, the injury was not serious. It is estimated that the battle will continue tomorrow. ”

Senasi looked at his wound and nodded, since he angrily reprimanded the military doctors, the military doctors have thought of a lot of ways to improve the medical standards of the wounded soldiers, and then at their own request, a lot of medicines and gauze were sent from the rear, and the medical problem was barely solved.

"Where are you from? What did you do before joining the military? Senassi began to make friends with the soldiers again, as he always did when he was close to the soldiers.

Seeing that the general lowered his posture, the wounded soldier gradually let go of his restraints and said, "I am a northerner." I had fought with several generals before, but they were all defeated, and with good luck, I retreated all the way here and stayed. So far, I have been injured in the leg, and I have fought for two or three years, and my life is also big, hehe, this is only two days, and I can continue to fight. ”

Sennacy asked, "After fighting for so long, you must have made a lot of contributions, right?" What are the positions now? ”

The wounded soldier touched his head embarrassedly: "I have killed a lot of enemies, but because they are all defeated, they are not considered credit, and I am still a big soldier, hehehehehehe......"

Senassi smiled and said, "What kind of thing is this, you can't just because the army is defeated and you don't care about the merits of the soldiers!" This doesn't work, this can't work, so let's do it, when your leg is healed, you can come to me to report, I will arrange a military position for you, how can you still be a big-headed soldier after fighting for so many years! This is not okay, if you still know any veterans, come to me together, and I will arrange military positions for all of you. ”

The wounded soldiers were overjoyed, and even some of the wounded soldiers around them showed happy looks, and Sennacy continued to ask with a smile: "Is the family okay?" Parents, wife, are they all right? ”

The wounded soldier was stunned for a moment, his happy expression dissipated, revealing a little sadness: "My parents have already died of illness, leaving only my wife and children, speaking of which, if I can rush back in time to take them to the doctor, I should not die of illness, I am not at home, fighting in the north, my parents are worried about me, not worried about their own health, but when I go to the doctor, it is already late, alas...... Now, I am left with a wife and a son, fortunately, and a family, and there is still some hope for going back. ”

Senassi nodded, then showed a look of reminiscence, looked at the sky and said slowly: "I also have a daughter, there was a son before, who died in the war with the Romans, and then there was only one daughter left, who also died of illness a year ago, and her parents died a long time ago, and now, I am left with a wife and a little grandson, hehe, and descendants, my son left me a grandson before he died in the war, so that I will not have no successors, it can be regarded as a little comfort!"

My daughter, really, it's really my fault, I'm too, I only care about fighting, but it doesn't matter my daughter's body, I only had that daughter in my thirties, she was only sixteen years old when she died, hehe, it's all my fault, if I didn't have time to go home and take care of her, she wouldn't be ...... You are all very good, you all have families, there are descendants, that's the best, you all have to fight hard, try to survive, there are relatives waiting for you at home......"

Senasi wiped his eyes, stood up, looked around, and then said with a stern face: "The whole army obeys the order, although the enemy has not attacked now, but we don't know when they will attack, although you can rest now, and the commander can also rest, but once the enemy attacks, we must immediately give them a head-on attack, not for anything else, but for your family, for yourself, for your future, so you must fight hard!" ”

All the soldiers who could stand up stood up, and all the soldiers who could not stand up also stood up with each other supporting each other, watching their general slowly leave.

For them, their generals are their last faith, their last reason to fight for. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation!88 reading
