Although Wu Xingzong looked up to the sky and laughed and said this, it was still as simple as a real war.

After the military camp was set up ten miles outside the county seat, it was dark and night.

At this time, Xipo County had already discovered the army, and a group of defenders in the county did not dare to be careless at all, and patrolled back and forth in the city.

Although it is only the county seat, the successive county orders of Xipo County have attached importance to defense, the radius of this county is not wide, the city wall is by the standard of the county level, but it is extremely thick, there is a ditch outside the city wall, although it is not wide, the living water that can be quoted is also turbulent at this time, and if you want to attack this city, you must cross this ditch.

The drawbridge over the city has long been hung high, the city gate is strong, the city wall is tall and heavy, and in the current situation, it is difficult to pass without consuming the lives of some soldiers.

At this time, the Chu army had strict rules, and there were strict rules for marching and camping, and it was necessary to dig ditches and build walls and build camps at night to prevent sudden attacks.

Of course, this wall is a wooden wall.

Wu Xingzong inspected the camp and couldn't help but be satisfied when he saw that the wooden wall had been erected, and at this time the moon had risen high, and there were fireworks lingering in the camp, as well as the smell of food.

"Wei Shuai, do you immediately attack them at night and take them by surprise?" A battalion named Chen Zheng came to Wu Xingzong's side at this time and asked in a low voice.

The rules of the Chu army are very strict, and it is impossible for people to install henchmen, so the battalions of the five battalions are all arranged by the army, not promoted by Wu Xingzong.

Of course, it is perfectly okay to accept some pro-soldiers and place small soldiers within dozens of people.

The battalion did not participate in the discussion just now.

"The county seat of Xipo County is a bit big at the moment. Wu Xingzong's eyes were firmly fixed on the county seat in front of him, his face was a little solemn, and he whispered: "The Tanma who called back came to me." I have something to ask him. ”

Just as he answered the promise, he turned around and scolded the horse.

It didn't take long for Tanma to come over and kneel down in front of Wu Xingzong: "The little one has seen Wei Shuai!"

"Don't be polite, get up and talk back. ”

"No!"

"Tell me more about what you've discovered...... A few of you have come and listened to him. Wu Xingzong turned around and beckoned several battalions to come over and listen together.

Several battalions were gathering to listen to the second careful investigation.

“...... In the county seat of Xipo County, there are 500 soldiers, all of them are box soldiers, during the day, the city gate is open for a meeting, but the investigation is very strict, the villain has thought of mixing into the city to check the situation when he comes during the day, but he can't get close. "Later, I met a caravan out of the city, and heard some news that the county town of Xipo County was very fortified, and the city walls were reinforced several times, with at least five meters or more, and the specifications were not much inferior to the county town...... "The county commander Wu Jin, who took office last year, is said to be a person from Xu Wenhui, and his vigilance is very high. ”

Wu Xingzong has heard the words of the horse, and now it is for Yingzheng to know, and at this time, facing the city not far away, listen carefully again, and feel different in his heart.

He frowned slightly, the five-meter city wall was already very high as the height of the county city wall.

There are a lot of troops and they are vigilant, if they continue to attack......

"Wei Shuai, what are you afraid of? It's just a five-meter city wall! Although this city wall is stronger, but we haven't encountered a city taller than it, Wei Shuai, we will attack the county town tomorrow with all our might, and ...... it's a little impatient, and he said immediately.

Wu Xingzong looked at the county seat of Xipo County, and when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, this person can be a camp, at least he has studied in Yanwutang, why is it still like this?

stopped the conversation, and asked Tanma: "What is the opinion of the big families in the city and the county gentry?", Tanma was stunned for a moment, and replied hesitantly: "This ......" Bu people have never been to investigate ............", waved him to retreat, Wu Xingzong's face was calm, and he looked at it from afar.

Several battalions stepped forward: "Wei Shuai, do you have an idea?", "Yes, the idea of attacking the city, you still have to decide Wei Shuai, we will follow the order and leave!" Another person echoed.

The others nodded their heads as well.

Wu Xingzong glanced at them lightly, faced the direction of the county seat of Xipo County, and said slowly: "In your opinion, how can we capture this city and make our troops suffer less losses?"

The rules in the army, first of all, of course, are the first order, no matter how many people die, as long as the goal is achieved, it is a good thing, and the second is the degree of loss, and if the loss is large, the natural military merit will be small.

Wu Xingzong brought only 1,000 soldiers, and he attacked this city, but he was afraid that if the city was conquered, more than half of it would be lost.

But now is the time to build your prestige.

"Wei Shuai, what are your plans?", even if he was impatient, he also noticed something at this time, several people glanced at each other, and one of them asked.

"The defenders of Xipo County have 500 people, there is a danger of the city, and it may not be possible to capture this city if it is damaged by more than half, and within a few days, it is not easy to conquer this city, if there is a way to take this city, you can try it. Wu Xingzong was silent for a moment and said.

"The trick that Wei Shuai is referring to is ............," several people hesitated.

Although these people are all battalion leaders, but most of them are ordinary soldiers promoted, only because they have bravely killed the enemy and made military exploits to have this achievement, although they have entered the martial arts hall, but when it comes to knowledge, they only stay at knowing a few hundred words and can read official documents.

When Wu Xingzong saw that the fire had arrived, he stopped grinding, stood up, and ordered: "Let the craftsmen of the army immediately cut down trees and make earthen tanks and crashing machines." With such a small army, it is impossible to have thunderbolts, and it is even difficult to transport ordinary trebuchets, but there are still craftsmen with the army, and there is no problem in making simple siege tools.

This is a formal method, Wu Xingzong did not talk about the strategy, but made the manufacture of regular machinery, which is indeed a big tool.

Those who advocate scheming and wisdom are only military advisors at most, and it is difficult for them to take charge on their own.

"You go to find some soldiers with louder voices, prepare to shout under the city, and let the defenders in the city surrender within three days, otherwise as soon as the army arrives, they will immediately set foot on this place, and the jade will be burned ......", Wu Xingzong said lightly: "Order the army to Chinese the book, make a scroll overnight, write the same words, don't hang my name on the payment, just hang the name of Zhang Du's commander, and shoot into the city overnight." Now the number of 1,000 people is still smaller, and the county is not shocked, but there is a capital (3,300 people) behind it, which is shocking.

Of course, it was too much to hang up the banner of the military gate (respecting soldiers), and 10,000 soldiers were specifically attacking a county town? No one with a little brain would believe it.

"Our army should not move within three days, first, it takes this time to make siege tools, and second, once attacked, it will show traces, but it will not move, which makes people believe that there is backup!"

"Also, in two days, we will expand the camp of 1,000 people to 3,000 people, so that the county town will believe that the soldiers of the capital are coming. ”

"And try to blend into the city, and launch a rumor, saying that as soon as Zhang Du's commander comes, he will immediately wash the city, but if he can descend, there will be a big reward!"

After listening, the eyes of several battalion leaders suddenly widened, and they were full of admiration for Wu Xingzong.

"Wei Shuai, this move is really high! At that time, the people in the city are afraid of the prestige of our army, and they will definitely be dissatisfied with the defenders...... "Yes, right, right! This move will definitely make the people of Chengfeng feel troubled!", "Haha! It's still Wei Shuai's master!" They reacted and couldn't stop admiring.

Wu Xingzong's move can be regarded as a heart-attacking technique.

Threatening the defenders to surrender under the guise of an approaching army is only a superficial purpose, which can be achieved best, and if it cannot be achieved, it will at least cause panic in the city, and then the people's hearts will be uncertain, and it is also a method of siege.

Although Wu Xingzong was not born in Jiangmen, and he was once born in a gangster, he was indeed talented, and after studying in Yanwutang, he has made rapid progress.

"It's just a ploy, whether it can be done or not depends on luck, if the enemy is not fooled, there will only be three days before a hard attack. Wu Xingzong squinted and said.

The next morning, the horn of the military camp under the city sounded, and a group of Chu troops came out of the camp and slowly converged in front of the city.

Seeing this, Wu Jin, the county commander who had not slept all night, hurriedly went up to the city to look.

I saw a solemn formation outside the city, and the Chu army was in the middle position, and the flag was held high.

After a while, the drum beat again, and the Chu army lined up, only to see a group of Chu soldiers, all wearing paper armor and holding weapons, stepping forward, the queue was not chaotic at all, stepping down, only listening to the neat "boom" sound.

A hundred meters in front of the city, it stood still, until this time, the queue was not chaotic at all, from the city, it was a straight line, a piece of red, although there were only a thousand people, but it was like ten thousand soldiers.

The county commander Wu Jin was terrified in his heart, and his hand clutched the wall stone.

At that time, Dayan Taizu trained 5,000 troops, and the enemy army of 30,000 against the heavy rain, and the 5,000 troops were in a strict formation, so that everyone who saw it was shocked, and then broke it in one fell swoop, laying the foundation of Longxing Universiade.

I have heard for a long time that the Chu army has the style of Yan Taizu, and when I saw it today, it was so.

But in the blink of an eye, the county commander Wu Jin came to his senses, and when he heard that the people around him were stunned, he let out a heavy pant, and he regretted it in his heart.

I wanted to oppress the county officials and county gentry to go to the wall, to strengthen my confidence, and I didn't want to be deterred by the sharp spirit.

At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the formation, and stopped a hundred paces to the city.

"Listen to the defenders of the city! Our army is the vanguard of the king of Chu! On the orders of the king of Chu, attack Xu Wenhui! If you are only a small county town, how can you stop the army of 100,000 people? Those who know the times should quickly open the city and surrender to our army! The king of Chu is benevolent and will be able to ensure the safety and health of your county! Otherwise, as soon as the army arrives, this city will surely become a ruin!" "Listen to the order of this city and county! If you have pity on the gentry and the people, quickly open the door and surrender to our army! Otherwise, as soon as the army of Commander Zhang arrives, it will be the time when the city will be broken!"

Such shouts were heard clearly by the people of the city, because they were all soldiers with loud voices.

When the county commander Wu Jin heard this, he looked at the frightened eyes around him, and couldn't help but turn blue, and hurriedly scolded: "Don't let go of the arrow yet!"

“...... No!"

The soldier hurriedly set up a bow and shot arrows.

Seeing this, Wu Xingzong ordered without hurry: "Order, retreat!"

"No!"

When the horn sounded, I saw the Chu army converging into one formation, looking from the city, I could see that the army was slowly retreating, under the sun, the pace was neat, dense, busy but not chaotic.

Seeing this, a thought came to everyone's mind: "Sure enough, there is a big army coming behind!", !~!
