There's something wrong with this assassin

Chapter 737 Four Cities
"So this is the Japanese man you brought back?" Guang Jiqi looked at the bear behind Fang Bie.

He looked like a thin and thin boy, and his stature was not high, but Guang Jiqi had already heard that this kid was able to overthrow two adults with his bare hands, so he looked at him more solemnly.

"His name is Xiong." Fang Bie simply explained: "I don't want to participate in this war, I just want to go home alive."

"Go home alive?" Guang Jiqi looked at the bear and sighed faintly: "In this era, it is really an extraordinary luxury."

"It's because of extravagant hope that he is willing to come back with me." Fang Bie said simply: "He knows a lot about the situation in Rangping City, so it is still useful for the time being."

Guang Jiqi heard Fang Bie's words, and couldn't help looking at him: "So you didn't just bring him back to do good deeds?"

"Everyone who survives should prove his own worth. Things that get something for nothing are very rare anywhere, and we are not high-ranking nobles." Fang Bie looked at Guangjiqi and said as a matter of course.

"That's what you said." Guang Jiqi nodded, then smiled: "Then what does he know?"

"The defender of Rangping City is Chief Xiaoxi, and he is the vanguard general of the Dongpu Expeditionary Army." Fang Bie looked at Guangjiqi and said indifferently: "Of course, after they captured Rangping City this time, they stopped advancing. And focus on building fortifications, because Dongpu is not yet ready for a direct battle with Zhou, so it is meaningless to continue to attack."

"Temporarily speaking, the best plan Dongpu has made is to swallow all the current victories and make peace with Dazhou."

"Peace?" Guang Jiqi let out a slight snort from his nasal cavity: "Is there really a stop-and-go war in this world?"

For example, if I take down the capital in a quick attack, and then immediately negotiate a peace with the other party non-stop, then I can enjoy the peace of mind in the capital?

Don't tell me, there really are such examples.

For example, Da Song.

But in fact, most wars are easy to start, but very difficult to end.

For example, now, as long as Dazhou does not exhaust its last strength, otherwise Dazhou will not allow Dongpu to occupy the original Koryo land and sleep soundly on the side of his couch.

"If Dongpu can defend Da Zhou's attack under Rangping City, then the exhausted Da Zhou can only accept the fait accompli that Koryo has been occupied." Fang Bie added softly.

"So are you confirming to me the importance of this battle?" Guang Jiqi's mouth slightly twitched: "Then let me ask how many enemy troops there are in Pingcheng now?"

"About 15. After all, Dongying has no way to really transport all the [-] troops to this small city." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said, "But I have to say, these Dongying people are still very happy." Good at defending."

Guang Jiqi had no choice but to nod: "I've already seen a little bit."

The bunkers built outside Rangping City before, after Fang Bie successfully cleared them, Guang Jiqi also went to check them out personally. Later, it was temporarily built, and the quality of this project has reached the point of astonishment.

If there is no other help from Fang this time, relying solely on Guangjiqi's own strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer all these bunkers without sacrificing thousands of troops, let alone treat the Dongpu defenders in the city as wooden men. If the bunker is attacked, they will definitely come out of the city to rescue them. At that time, they will become horns, and the Zhou army will be attacked by the enemy. Even Guangjiqi will find it difficult to resist.

Only Fang Bie's ghostly attack can break through these strong bunkers. Of course, after this battle, all the people who knew the whole story of this battle looked at Fang Bie without exception. .

This young man has never shown any martial arts of his before, but this time, just a small test of his knives can make countless people terrified.

"This is just an appetizer." Fang Bie continued: "Let Pingcheng have four outer cities in the southeast, north, and west. You must first capture the outer city before you can get involved in the inner city. But again, the walls of the outer city are high and strong. Difficult to attack directly."

Guang Jiqi propped his forehead with his hands, and sighed: "Since Pingcheng is so strong, how come I heard that the Dongying people took it down after only three or four days of attacking, it's as easy as drinking soup."

"That's why you need to ask those Koreans. After all, they say that these Dongying people are monsters with green faces and fangs that can breathe fire." Fang Bie said lightly.

After all, the performance of those Koreans in the war was so bad that Fang Bie couldn't complain at all.

It made him feel more and more that he had squeezed a persimmon that was too soft by letting the Japanese people come over, so that everything he did now seemed to be atonement for the sins he had committed.

"3 people, four cities in east, west, north, south, what about the supplies?" Guang Jiqi continued to ask.

"As you know, those Koreans still saved a lot of food and supplies, which can be used by them for half a year." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "Of course, half a year is the premise of our complete siege to gain an absolute advantage." Next, but so far, the Japanese troops in Koryo are more than ours, and their combat effectiveness is actually quite good."

Guang Jiqi nodded heavily: "I am still very clear about the comparison of military strength."

"So what can you do?"

"You are the general, if you ask me, I might tell you to rob the camp?" Fang Bie looked at the other party: "Of course, when Wang Zhi attacked the city wall of Yingtian Mansion, he arranged in advance to plant explosives in Yingtian Mansion to blow up the city wall, but we are currently It shouldn’t be that big of a deal.”

I am not happy when I mention this Guangjiqi. This is really a pot that cannot be opened.

The defeat of Ying Tianfu was almost the darkest part of Guang Jiqi's life. If Fang Bie hadn't succeeded in assassinating Wang Zhi, Da Zhou might be dead now.

Think about it, the tax-heavy land in the south of the Yangtze River was just captured by Japanese pirates. In a blink of an eye, the Dongying people landed from Koryo again, and they almost bulldozed the whole of Koryo like melons and vegetables, and then drove the kings of Koryo to Dazhou.

Fang Bie still remembers what Li Song said when he saw Guang Jiqi.

Out of politeness, Guangjiqi asked Li Song how he was living in Dazhou, but Li Song burst into tears in an instant: "Dazhou is my mother country, if the general didn't expel those hateful Dongying people Get out, then I am willing to live here until I die.”

Fang Bie almost laughed out loud.

"Then the only way may be to besiege from all sides." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said calmly.

"Siege from all sides?" Fang Bie asked doubtfully, "Our strength is similar to that of the defenders. Even if we attack in a concentrated manner, we may not be able to defeat them. Wouldn't the siege from all sides be defeated by each one instead?"

"That's the truth, but the art of war is trickery." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said indifferently: "First of all, we have sharp weapons to attack the city."

Speaking of sharp weapons for siege, there is actually only one thing, and Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi: "When will the cannon be delivered?"

"Ten days later, and Franji's red-haired cannon is included." Guang Jiqi said confidently: "Of course, ordinary sieges can only rely on piles of heads to find loopholes, and rely on flesh and blood to consume the will of both sides. and endurance."

"But with weapons like cannons, there is a whole new change between offense and defense."

"I remember you said that although the Japanese army has excellent firearms, they don't have enough artillery, right?"

Although Guang Jiqi asked a question, his tone was affirmative.

Fang Bie nodded: "Yes, Dongying's bird guns are better than Shenzhou's fire guns, thanks to the participation of arms dealers like Wang Zhi, but artillery is expensive and cumbersome, and it is used in Dongying. Not many, Oda Nobunaga, where I was before, can be regarded as the most elite firearms name in Japan, but the number of artillery in his hand is very small, and the style is also very old, so there is no basis for it.”

"That's why Dongying likes to build bunkers for defense so much." Guang Jiqi smiled, and he took Fang Bie's hand and walked into the big tent. In the big tent, there was a sand table. It was Jean Pingcheng.

"You see, our army is currently stationed in the north of Rangping City, and tomorrow, the first batch of light artillery can be erected, and can bombard the city wall. This distance exceeds the shooting distance of the bird's gun, and it is basically taken by us for nothing." Fight, and within three days, I will set up such artillery in the three directions of the east, west, and north of Rangping City, and carry out uninterrupted firepower suppression on the defenders on the city wall. After ten days of arrival, the general offensive will begin."

Guang Jiqi used a small flag to represent his own military strength on the sand table, and the formation of troops was rigorous and thorough, showing the style of a general. This is something that Fang Bie can't do anyway.

After all, don't try to challenge yourself beyond your capabilities in other people's professional fields.

"So it seems that you have already planned?" Fang Bie asked back.

Guang Jiqi's siege strategy seems to be no problem at present in Fang Bie's view. First use small cannons to harass, wait until the cannons arrive, and then concentrate on attacking the city wall, besiege from four sides, feign attack from three sides, and finally break a point. If no one leaks the secret, such a siege strategy really has a good chance of success.

After all, those Dongying people are not like the Korean people, they will disperse as soon as they are beaten, they can do whatever they want, escape No.1.

"Of course, ever since I crossed the boundary river, I have been thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, but there is only one thing, that is, I did not think of these bunkers around Pingcheng. Without your help, I am afraid that I would not be able to defeat the enemy so quickly." The plan is carried out."

Saying this, Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie: "Lei Guang has already pleaded guilty to me. He told me the whole battle process and spoke highly of you, but according to the military order, both of you are responsible for nine Whoever can complete the bunker first will win, but now that you have killed all the people in the bunker, it is not easy to tell the winner."

Guang Jiqi said with a slight smile.

Of course, strictly speaking, since Fang Bie destroyed all the bunkers, Lei Guang has already lost a lot, and one thing is true in the military order, that is, he has not fulfilled his promise and must be dealt with by military law.

If Fang Bie originally wanted to punish Lei Guang, he only needed to finish his mission and watch the jokes aside, but now Fang Bie not only completed his mission, but also helped Lei Guang complete the mission, which is almost a rescue. The lives of Lei Guang's 300 people—Of course, not all of Lei Guang's 300 people came back alive. After all, the bullets had no eyes, and the damage was still there, but compared to the original estimate, it was undoubtedly much less.

"In short, it's all up to the commander-in-chief's arrangement, and I have no opinion." Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and said calmly.

"But you have made great contributions." Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and said quietly.

"But I don't have anything to reward you, because I don't know what you lack. If you have military merits, I can naturally report to the court and give you an official title, but you don't care about these things."

"I don't have many gold, silver and treasures here, but as long as there is a war, money is never something that needs to be considered. There are too many links to enrich one's own pocket."

"And you don't like money very much after all."

"As a military general, what I hope most is to fight on the battlefield and do my best. Now that the world is at peace, I thought I could only spend my whole life in vain, but I didn't expect such a big battle. It can be said that this war is against me. The best gift in life."

"But what do you want?" Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie and asked.

"Guess?" Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and smiled slightly, then turned his head and said.

"If I can guess, do I still need to ask you?" Guang Jiqi said sullenly.

Fang Bie smiled: "To put it simply, it is to wipe the ass of everything I have done. The arrival of these Japanese troops is more or less related to me, although it will happen sooner or later, and even It’s better to happen early than late, after all, no matter what kind of ailment is troublesome, the sooner you solve it, the easier it will be.”

"But humans are still responsible for everything they do."

"This is number one."

Fang Bie looked at Guang Jiqi and continued: "And the second one is related to Da Zhou itself."

"What do you mean?" Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie.

"You should know that I was originally the assassin of the hive, but due to various reasons, I almost left the hive now. When I went to Japan, I followed a person with a very important background. She was the queen bee of the original hive."

"Now she has a difficult home to return to. Therefore, my biggest goal in this battle of Dongpu is to enable her to return home in a fair manner."

Guang Jiqi looked at Fang Bie, a little incredulous: "Is there any big man who needs a war to meet him?"

Fang Bie smiled: "Of course there is such a big shot."

"For example, she is Her Royal Highness Princess of our Great Zhou?"
