The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 367 Finalizing the Strategy
After successfully crossing the river, the army of the Xin Kingdom immediately began to camp by the river, and was not busy attacking, because the soldiers of the Wan Kingdom and the Pin Kingdom retreated into the city and could not hold on.

Let the follow-up siege equipment be transported across the river, and at the same time all the cities in the Shunguo area were also occupied by Xinguo.

The territory of Wan State further shrunk.

Xinguo is following the strategic route of gradually encroaching on Wanguo step by step. The most important thing in the battle that has been accomplished in one battle is stability, and the opponent must not be allowed to come back at the last moment.

Tian Dan is also more aware of this kind of comeback. If Wan and Pin are not completely destroyed, there is hope for a comeback, just like when he guarded Jimo back then.

In the south of Wan Kingdom, the troops of Hu Che'er and Yang Youji were also lined up in the southern city.

On the second day, the general offensive was launched again.

Bai Qi's face remained the same, this time the siege battle must be difficult, because this is the last line of defense of Wan country, as long as these lines of defense are breached and the soldiers approach the city, there is no possibility of Wan country coming back.

The troops of Han Kuangrui and others are madly attacking the northernmost city, Bai Qi's army is attacking the middle city, and Tian Dan's army is leading the attack below. There are continuous shouts of killing, and black arrows shoot at each other from both sides. go.

There are ladders on the city, and the New Kingdom soldiers climbing up are like Spider-Man.

The weather was also gradually getting cooler, and the day's attack was only withdrawn in the evening. In the army tent, Bai Qi and others met again.

"No, the cities are difficult to attack. Wan and Pin have invested a lot of troops. It is too difficult to take down these cities."

"Winter is only 20 days away. It is a bit difficult to destroy the Wan Kingdom within 20 days."

Bai Qi pondered and said nothing: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Lu Zhonglian thought for a while: "If we continue to attack from the front, I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat it for half a month. We can't delay until winter, so we can no longer consider forcing the city to attack. We can only consider attacking from the side."

Tian Dan also said: "That's right, if the fight continues like this, the opponent will last until winter."

When winter comes, the balance of victory in the war will undergo some subtle changes, which Tian Dan and others are well aware of.

In history, the most obvious turnarounds that rely on winter are all related to Russia. Napoleon attacked Tsarist Russia, but was directly defeated by the long border and cold; Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union was also affected by the weather, and eventually failed disastrously.

Hu Che'er said, "Why don't you let me attack from the south?"

Bai Qi shook his head.

Han Kuangrui said: "The guards of these three cities are all powerful generals of the Wan Kingdom. Taiwei Liu Feng is in command personally. He is the best at defending the cities. They are well-guarded and orderly. It is really difficult to attack."

Defending the city is far easier than besieging the city. Wan country's technology is not bad. The city is thick enough, so it is easy to defend the city. At least the strong country has been fighting for so long, and it has not completely defeated Wan country's defense line. This is a proof.

"If that's not the case, we will encircle these three cities, and then send out elite cavalry to take the imperial capital and take the imperial capital, and the matter will be accomplished."

Bai Qi said: "In this way, the opponent will definitely break through strongly."

"That would be great. When the opponent leaves the city, we will fight them in the wild. Without the strength of the city, they will definitely not be our opponents in Xinguo."

Zhong Limei thought about it for a while: "I think that a large part of the reason why Wan country can persist now is because of Pin country's participation in the war. We wiped out the main force of Wan country before, and we didn't have that many troops at all. Now we help defend the country. The vast majority of the people in the city are the troops of the Pin country. According to me, we simply involve the main force of the opponent first, send out elites, and directly take down the Pin country. Once Pin country is destroyed, the soldiers of the Pin country who help defend the city will inevitably collapse directly. .”

Lu Zhonglian said: "General Chen has already plundered in the territory of Pin State. According to the news from him, there are still [-] troops defending the city in Pin State. If we can break through the [-] troops, it is feasible."

Tian Dan raised his head: "Why don't you encircle Wei and save Zhao?"

General Gao said: "No, the main force here is mobilized. If there are not enough troops, the opponent will definitely take the opportunity to attack."

Bai Qi pondered for a while: "What if the troops we transferred were just an illusion? Pretend to send a large number of troops to attack Pinguo to create a false impression for Wanguo and others. Our side will defend and not attack. In this way, Wanguo has only two choices. The first one is that the generals defending the city of Pinguo come back to help, and the second one is to go out of the city to attack, and some of this group of troops will turn back halfway. If they come out to attack, they will directly surround them and annihilate them; if they return to help, they will inevitably pass by. In the middle position, we can directly ambush, encircle Wei and rescue Zhao."

Han Kuangrui and Zhong Limei glanced at each other, what a great idea.

"However, what if they still can't hold on?"

"Can't hold on? Then let the army really go to attack Pin country. Pin country has only [-] troops, and it has to guard three cities. It won't last long. Even if it sticks to the imperial capital, it won't last long under siege. .”

Bai Qi and the others don't want to fight on both sides. The two fronts are full of variables, but now they can't think of a way and still forcibly attack the city. The three cities can't be taken down, and the war drags into winter. That's really too much variable.

Everyone discussed some details again, and after they were finalized, they prepared to leave tomorrow.

……

Early in the morning, Hu Che'er and Han Kuangrui led a total of [-] cavalry and headed straight for Pinguo.

With the addition of Chen Tang's troops, the total troops have already surpassed the troops defending the city of Pinguo.

After reuniting with Chen Tang, he explained his intentions, joined forces, and launched another attack on the three counties of Pin State.

The siege equipment brought in from Guangmenguan was continuous, and the war had begun to burn money crazily. The funds in Nintendo's treasury, including some remaining funds, were basically invested in manufacturing equipment.

Yipin Jiangshan and Three Color Rubik's Cube also made a video call for the first time.

"Xinguo is attacking me again, with a large number of troops."

The three-color Rubik's Cube said in a deep voice: "My side Xinguo is standing still, how long can you hold on?"

"Ten days at most. Xinguo's siege equipment is a bit fierce. The catapult should have been upgraded to the third level, and the distance is farther. I can last for ten days at most."

The three-color Rubik's Cube pondered for a moment, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "If this is not the case, we can simply send out troops to directly attack this part of the army, kill them, and then join forces to attack the main army here."

If the fight continues like this, it will be difficult for them to drag Pinguo and Wanguo into winter. The primary goal now is to persist for 20 days, let alone Pinguo.

Yipin Jiangshan said in a deep voice: "I will let Xu Rong lead the army back, you guard the city, and wait until I destroy this part of the Xin Kingdom army first."

"it is good."

The two finalized.

In the afternoon, Xu Rong in the city led a part of the army and quickly headed towards Pinguo.

The moment Xu Rong took action, Xinguo's spies had already reported the situation.

And almost at the moment when Xu Rong dispatched troops, Zhong Limei led the soldiers and took Meng Ben with him, and also set off towards Pinguo to the west.
