After Zhao Gongzi left Yingling County, Leyi's army came to the city and chose to camp at the water source. They set up obstacles such as horse barriers, trenches, and fences to prevent Taishi Ci from making a surprise attack out of the city.

Taishi Ci is also a fierce general. If Taishi Ci comes to rob the Chu camp with hundreds of horses, then Xuzhou Mu will be disgraced.

Le Yi led a group of captains and military commanders under his command to observe the defense of Yingling County. Yingling County had obviously been fortified, and the dozens of stone arrow towers were intimidating.

The city wall has protruding rectangular piers at regular intervals, called horse faces, which are about 20 meters wide and protrude 12 meters from the outer surface of the wall, forming a dense crossfire with the city wall. There are also arrow towers on the horse faces.

storehouse.

This may be the most difficult city for the Xuzhou Army to attack. Under Zhao Gongzi's management, its attack difficulty is even higher than that of Taishan County.

Not only that, when attacking Fenggao County, the seat of Taishan County, the reinforcements from Taishan County were defeated by the Forbidden Army. There were no reinforcements outside Taishan County, and the defenders' fighting spirit was low, so it was easy to attack.

Now in Yingling County, Taishi Ci was ordered to defend, and outside there were Zhao Gongzi's army and Tian Ji's army as horns. When attacking Yingling County, we must divide our forces to deal with Zhao Gongzi's army and Tian Ji's army.

"Master Zhao's turtle tactics and the layers of defenses in Yingling County make people want to retreat. It seems that he has expected this day. This is why he is indifferent to my surrender. He must think that we

If we are unable to capture Yingling County, we will retreat quickly after running out of supplies."

Chu Tian brought Xue Rengui, Hua Mulan and other generals together with Le Yi to observe the fortified city that made many famous generals despair.

Chu Tian rarely encounters fortified cities, and he prefers to eliminate the opponent's main force through field battles. By defeating the opponent's main force, the morale of the opponent's camp will drop, and the difficulty of siege will decrease several times.

The turtle tactic of clearing the field is undoubtedly a painful torture for the army on the offensive side.

Sima Yi could not hold out, and Zhuge Liang had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Lian Po could not hold out, and the Qin army had nothing to do with him for several years, so they used a divorce plan to prompt King Zhao to replace Zhao Kuo. During the Anshi Rebellion, Tang general Zhang Xun defended Sui with 9,000 troops.

Yangcheng, blocking more than 100,000 rebels and buying time for the Tang army to regroup...

Chu Tian was also disgusted by Mr. Zhao's tactics of clearing the field.

"The general will need troops and a large number of siege equipment at any cost to capture Yingling County."

Le Yi took the initiative to ask Chu Tian for soldiers and equipment.

"Can."

Chu Tian sent an order to the Langya Kingdom in the rear, requesting the recruitment of a group of new soldiers and local braves to serve as cannon fodder. At the same time, a group of low-level foreign soldiers captured in the national war also came. The servant legion of Joan of Arc was a high-ranking soldier.

The high-level alien soldiers, and the low-level alien soldiers are the cannon fodder among the cannon fodder.

Not only that, Chutian captured a large number of strong men in Beihai Kingdom, who also served as cannon fodder to fill in the moat and produce siege equipment.
