"In this way, there is only one battle out of the city."

"This battle should be fought sooner rather than later."

"If it is delayed for a few more days, the supply of food and grass will become more and more scarce, and Zhao Jun's fortress will probably be repaired."

"At that time, it will be even more difficult to attack."

Tian Bei didn't say a word, which was regarded as acquiescing to Yang Ting's statement.

There is some truth to this.

Because even if the Qin army is short of troops, the chance of winning is very small.

Even if the reinforcements of the Qin army continued to come from all sections of the Great Wall.

But Qin Jun couldn't wait any longer.

The result of waiting any longer is that Zhao Jun's fortifications are becoming more and more perfect and more difficult to attack.

But Shen Bing didn't see it that way.

When Yang Ting was about to order the assembly of soldiers and horses, Shen Bing stopped him and said:

"Wait a minute, the spy just said..."

"Zhao Jun camped on Woniu Mountain, felled wood and built a stronghold?"

Yang Ting asked suspiciously: "So what?"

Shen Bing didn't answer but instead asked, "How was the city built?"

Yang Ting was stunned. As a gunner operator, she didn't know how to build a city wall?

Shen Bing immediately realized this mistake, and quickly explained:

"The subordinates are just..."

"I want to confirm whether Zhao Jun's city is similar to our army."

Tian was answered:

"It makes no difference."

"They all use sharp logs as roadblocks in the front, and round logs in the rear to build walls."

"On the wooden wall, set up a female wall and an archery tower."

"If there is enough time, we will add a gun tower and a trebuchet!"

Shen Bing then asked: "Are these city walls, watchtowers, etc. made of wood?"

"Of course!" Tian Bei replied: "Building a village on the mountain uses local materials, and wood is fast and convenient."

Shen Bing asked again: "To build a wall by chopping wood and sawing it with a hand, there must be a lot of sawdust near the city wall."

"That's true!" Tian Bei nodded.

Then Tian Bei seemed to realize something and said:

"Aren't you going to attack with fire?"

"Zhao Jun will not pile wood chips and city walls together."

"What's more, the rocket's range is limited and the fire head is small, and it's raining for days..."

Shen Bing interrupted Tian Quiet's words: "What if the rocket is not used?"

Tian Bei and Yang Ting cast doubtful glances at Shen Bing at the same time:

"What can we use without rockets?"

Chapter 28 Talent

Xu Chang and Wang Bai watched the soldiers who were busy building the fort in the gazebo of the fortress while pouring wine and laughing at each other.

"General Li Mu is truly a man of God."

"However, one order changed the situation of the battle and turned our army against the enemy."

"At this time, the Qin army is probably already heartbroken for the lost food and supplies!"

As he spoke, he and Wang Bai laughed together.

No wonder Xu Chang is so proud.

After Zhao Jun changed his strategy last night, he went to two places to intercept three batches of grain overnight.

This not only cut off the supply of the Qin army, but also enriched the granary of the Zhao army.

In this situation, Zhao Jun only needs to stay in Wo Niu Mountain and wait for Qin Jun to come to die.

Wang Bo made Xu Chang laugh for a while, then cupped his hands slightly worried and said:

"General, my subordinates think that we should not underestimate the enemy."

"If it was an ordinary Qin army, our army should have taken it on the first day of attack."

"However, the Qin army repelled our army with stone bullets several times."

"Our army not only made no progress, but also suffered heavy casualties..."

This Wang Bai cast a shadow over the battle of the previous few days.

But that's not surprising.

Looking at the old subordinates who have followed him for many years.

A team of invincible veterans.

In this way, he was easily knocked down by the enemy with stone bullets, and even died without seeing the enemy's face.

How can we not let him, the captain, be shocked.

Xu Chang didn't take it seriously, he interrupted Wang Bai:

"Hey, that's just Qin Jun's ingenious skill, it's nothing to worry about."

"If you really set up a battle to catch each other and fight."

"Then how could Qin Jun be my opponent?"

Although Wang Bai didn't say anything, he didn't think so in his heart.

First of all, if this Qin army is really "not worth mentioning" and "extraordinary skill and obscenity", then how did the Great Wall get lost in the hands of Pang Nuan and Xu Chang?

But of course Wang Bai didn't say this, he only thought about it in his heart:

If it is said that Zhao Jun is killed head-on, he is not afraid of Qin Jun.

This is because the Zhao army is all elite, especially the elite soldiers from the north are even more invincible.

On the other hand, the Zhao army occupied a favorable location and built a camp, and the Zhao army still had an advantage in strength.

In other words, Zhao Jun took advantage of the timing, location, and harmony of people.

How could he, Wang Bai, be afraid of the Qin army with female soldiers among them.

However, after thinking about it, Wang Bai felt something was wrong.

There seems to be a capable person in the Qin army.

Just like the attack on the gap in the Great Wall this time, the elite soldiers of the Northland led by Wang Bo lost thousands...

This is unimaginable in the past, even if the soldiers from the North were against the Xiongnu, they would be equal to ten.

This battle was fought to no avail.

Even more frightening is...

"The subordinates think."

"The Qin army may be deliberately leading our army to attack Ci County."

Xu Chang asked in puzzlement, "How do you say that?"

Wang Bo replied:

"It is said that the Great Wall has been in the hands of the Qin army for several days, and the gap is not completed, it should be the same."

"But Qin Jun allowed this gap to be filled."

"And the Qin army has enough troops in Ci County."

"That's why...the subordinates thought that the Qin army was well prepared, and that's why our army was defeated a few days ago."

"If the Qin army can set up such a plan, there must be capable people to help. We must not underestimate the enemy."

Although Wang Bo is a strong general, he followed Li Mu for many years and was ignorant of the officialdom.

Otherwise, these words would never have been uttered.

Because obviously, if Qin Jun had been prepared and intended to lure Zhao Jun to Ci County...

Does that mean that Xuchang has been tricked?

Does it mean that Xuchang will be responsible for this defeat and loss?

Does it mean that Xu Chang is not worthy to lead and command this army?

Sure enough, Xu Chang immediately felt a little uncomfortable.

If it was normal, he might have turned against Wang Bai, a reckless man who didn't know the rules and didn't know how big or small he was.

However, now is an extraordinary period, and Xuchang still needs the elite soldiers under Wang Bai's command.

Among them are the two thousand fine riders brought by Wang Bo.

That is the northern goblin cavalry who has fought in Mobei for many years and never lost half a point against the Xiongnu who grew up on horseback!

This time these elite cavalry were used to intercept and kill the Qin army's food and grass supplies, but it was just right, not to mention that there are still many places that will be useful in the future.

Therefore, Wang Bai absolutely cannot afford to offend him.

So Xu Chang suppressed his anger and said:

"The captain is too worried."

"According to my general's investigation, the main force of the Qin army has followed Yang Duanhe to the north."

"At this time, they have been surrounded by General Li Mu."

"Yang Ting, the daughter of Yang Duanhe, is stationed on the Great Wall."

"The generation of women and most of them are Chinese soldiers who have not fought. How can there be any capable people?"

Wang Bai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Chang's toast.

"Come on, let me respect the captain."

"Wish me to defeat the Qin army and regain the Great Wall!"

Wang Bai hurriedly responded, but his heart was still faintly uneasy.

This may be Wang Bai's sixth sense cultivated by fighting the Huns for many years.

You must know that the Huns cavalry always come and go like the wind, and the northern soldiers must always be vigilant.

Over time, when an enemy is coming or a major event is about to happen, Wang Bai will have a foresight.

But Wang Bo couldn't determine the source of the problem, and the chief general Xu Chang dismissed it, so he had no choice but to give up.

The more time passed, the more restless Wang Bai felt.

He suggested to Xu Chang more than once:

"General."

"Our army has blocked traffic and intercepted Qin's supplies for several days."

"Being cut off by the Qin army, we should go to battle as soon as possible, but..."

At this time Xu Chang will always answer:

"Don't worry too much, Lieutenant."
