The one hundred and forty-ninth chapter changes due to the situation
Yang Kan didn't care. Of course, he could not be so reckless when fighting against Li Bing in Huainan, but Qingzhou City must break the city in the shortest time, and Huaiyou couldn't afford to drag it down, so using your own advantages to maximize the consumption of the enemy's vitality is the best strategy.
"Old Chai, Pinglu Army is Pinglu Army, Li Wu is Li Wu, and they each have their own strengths. What we need to do is to deal with their strengths and weaknesses." Although Yang Kan's face was pale, his momentum remained unabated.
The meridians were washed by the other party's impact. Although it was a little damaged, it also allowed him to stand firm at the early stage of Rundan. However, he had to take good care of the injury. Fortunately, Chai Yong's injury was very mild and did not affect the war.
"I don't know what the situation is between the South Gate and the North Gate?" Chai Yong was quite satisfied with the situation of today's battle.
Not only did he break through to the city on the first day, but he also caused considerable damage to the other party, and his side also found the opponent's weakness.
Catalog carts and heavy crossbows can use the advantage of strike distance to severely damage the opponent. The opponent's cattalog carts and crossbows have almost no fighting power in the face of their own strikes. Even they try to use suspension blocking, construction of war sheds and other methods to cover and protect, but that will have an impact on their power. Therefore, it is estimated that the Pinglu Army is also extremely entangled now.
"There is no news yet. I have arranged for someone to go to the county magistrate to report the news. I guess the situation of each company is similar." Yang Kan moved his body a little lazy. "Old Lu and Lao Yu may be more cautious, but if you don't use this advantage, it will be a bit too conservative. I think with Lao Lu and Lao Yu's eyes, even if you are a little reserved at the beginning, you will definitely make a move immediately."
"Will it be too late to launch another move? Once Wang Shouzhong reacts, he will definitely take measures immediately." Chai Yong said subconsciously.
"Old Chai, what's wrong with Wang Shouzhong reacting? What can he do? Skills and magic are their weaknesses, what can he do to us? Also, for the martial arts masters, Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin are not there, no matter how he finds a way, he can't make up for it. Of course, he may use his elite horned soldiers and magic crossbowmen to fill it, but isn't this what we most hope to see? Catastrophes and heavy crossbow chariots can come in handy, killing their vital power to the maximum extent. In this case, how many days can you survive in the Pinglu army? Three days, or five days?"
Yang Kan's rebuttal made Chai Yong realize that he seemed to have misconceptions and had no hope of breaking the city in one fell swoop. After all, there are more than 10,000 troops in Qingzhou City, and most of them are Wang Shouzhong's elite tooth army. How could he break the city so easily?
The strategy formulated before was to use various means to kill their vital forces as much as possible, and finally make a breakthrough with one stone. Judging from today's situation, Wang Shouzhong probably had to follow the route set by the Huai Youjun.
"If this is the case, the county lord may have to arrange the plans of each army. Can the fire dragon cannon and magicians come in handy?" Chai Yong thought and asked thoughtfully.
"I don't agree with using it so early. Judging from today's situation, the Pinglu army reacted very quickly. Ximen basically gave up, and the troops were concentrated in the other three gates. In addition, Wang Shouzhong should have left a reserve force for the army, which was not useful yet. He even used all the horn-headed soldiers of his personal military camp, but they did not move the reserve force. It is estimated that they should be prevented, so they have to slow down. For example, they will use two or three days to fight hard, and then wait until they start using the reserve force, and then give them a fatal blow."
This time, the Taoist magic power of the Huaiyou Army came to Qingzhou was quite strong, which was also one of Jiang Feng's sources of confidence. However, although the power of the magician can provide great help to siege, it is also easy to be attacked in war, and its protection ability is much weaker than that, so not only is Jiang Feng unwilling to use this move at the critical moment.
Losing one can make people feel painful. He doesn't think it's a good idea to push the magician to the front line at will. Of course, it doesn't mean that you will grow flowers and plants in the greenhouse, but to be precise, the magicians can exert their power in the rear, unless they are those magicians with their own offensiveness.
***************************************
Jiang Feng listened carefully to the situation report from Sanmen.
The injuries of Yang Kan and Chai Yong also scared him. Although he had known the plans of these two people for a long time, in Jiang Feng's view, even if Wang Shouzhong personally took charge of this kind of chaos, it would be difficult to get it well. Of course, in the whole situation, personal fighting and killing itself would be difficult to play a fundamental hindrance.
After listening to the report from the East Gate, Jiang Feng felt a little relieved. Yang Kan and Chai Yong's efforts were not without gains. Even Wang Shouzhong took action personally. It was not easy for Yang Kan to escape from him. Of course, Jiang Feng also knew that without magic weapons, Yang Kan would not dare to take such a risk.
But even so, Jiang Feng still found it a bit tricky.
First, although the magic power of the Pinglu Army is relatively weak, judging from its performance, it is not powerless to fight, especially since the opponent has the advantage of defending the city, it can be configured reasonably;
Second, although the Pinglu Army lacked enough power experts at the highest end, it was obviously prepared to deal with it, that is, to use the Heavenly Realm masters to combine them to hold them up, and supplemented with magical power crossbows, magical weapons, and magical attacks to deal with it, which is also quite dangerous.
Of course, these also show from another perspective that the Pinglu Army was a little stretched in the targeted attacks of the Huai You Army to exert their advantages, and they had to use asymmetric means to make up for it. Although this method can achieve some results, it also exposed its weaknesses, which allows the Huai You Army to expand its advantages more fully or change its methods to cause more mistakes and loopholes to the other party.
The situation of the South Gate attack by Lu Qiming and Qin Han was similar to that of the East Gate under Yang Kan and Chai Yong, but the difference between the two East Gate and the two people in the East Gate was that Lu Qiming and Qin Han took turns to fight, but even so, it also put great pressure on the South Gate guard Zhang Junyue.
Neither the East Gate nor the South Gate will be the main person to report in the future, but Yu Mingzhen and Lang Ya, who were in charge of the North Gate, arrived together. Jiang Feng knew that these two people might have any ideas.
"Mingzhen, Langya, you all heard it, what are your thoughts?" Jiang Feng was not polite. It was meaningless to waste time. Since Yu Mingzhen and Langya came together, they would naturally not give up easily. It would be better to listen to their thoughts.
"Monday, I have a lot of ideas." Yu Mingzhen was not impressed and went straight to the point. "I thought there was a lot of potential for the North Gate."
"There is great potential?!" Jiang Feng said that he had great potential, and it was nothing more than trying to maximize the resource tilt to the attack direction where he was located. However, the resources were limited, so it was impossible to have everything.
"Yes, there is a lot to do." Yu Mingzhen took it upon himself and was justified: "Mr. Duke, don't think that he is trying to compete with Lord Yang, Lord Lu and others, but the current situation has changed, providing this opportunity for our North Gate."
"Oh? Mingzhen is so confident, let's talk about it." Jiang Feng knew Yu Mingzhen's personality and did not fight a war without confidence. Since he dared to swear so confidently, he would have something to rely on and became interested.
"My lord just heard that the Pinglu Army's observation, judgment and adaptability were also very fast. Ximen was immediately abandoned by them because they knew that it was not our attack direction. From today's situation, although it cannot be said to be underestimated, it must be listed as the suspected feint direction. I think this is our opportunity." Yu Mingzhen seemed very confident, "Even if it was just suspected, they must have some emphasis on the configuration of troops and reserves. This is one of them. This time, the purpose of the county duke in attacking Qingzhou is to solve Wang Shouzhong at one time and completely break the backbone of Pinglu Army, so Wang Shouzhong will never be allowed to escape. Otherwise, even if we take Qingzhou, it will also lead to this battle becoming a tug-of-war,..."
Jiang Feng leaned forward slightly, began to become solemn, his eyes were solemn, and he nodded slightly. What Yu Mingzhen said was reasonable.
When Yu Mingzhen noticed the change in Jiang Feng's expression, he felt even more at ease.
"So I think that although the strategy we formulated before was very reasonable, we finally achieved the destruction of the city by consuming its vitality, it was based on the premise that Wang Shouzhong would defend Qingzhou City to the death. But nothing was absolutely absolute. Yes, Qingzhou City is Wang Shouzhong's old nest and the seat of the Jiedushi's palace. When Wang Shouzhong felt that he could defend, guard until the reinforcements arrived in Mizhou and Haizhou, guard until we could not stand it, and the situation changed, he would stick to it. But when he felt that he could not defend until that time? Will he still persist? Will he leave?"
Jiang Feng's right hand was already rubbing his jaw, which was a small move that he was concentrating on thinking about problems.
"Continue, Mingzhen."
"I think we will take the previous approach, and there will be no problem in breaking the city. We can also follow the original strategy to maximize the killing of the enemy's vitality and finally breaking the city in one fell swoop. Wang Shouzhong may also see his performance today and will make him re-evaluate various possibilities. I personally think that Wang Shouzhong's confidence may be shaken. Once he really feels that he can't defend, or that he cannot defend until the arrival of reinforcements, maybe..., you should know that Mizhou and Haizhou, there are tens of thousands of main troops of Pinglu Army, and our Huaiyou are not without internal and external troubles,..."
Yu Mingzhen's words made Jiang Feng feel trembling. He did not consider this before. He always took it for granted that as the governor of Pinglu Jiedu, Qingzhou City was his nest again, so of course he had to stick to the end. However, now after Yu Mingzhen's analysis, he was really a little taken for granted.
