After counting, the defenders found that they had lost more than 200 people in one day today, while the number lost by the Concorde Army was only more than [-] people. The ratio of casualties on both sides has shrunk.

According to this kind of loss, Chen Xian knew that he would not last for many days.

After dinner, Su Ji came to the handsome tent.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "How much did you dig today?"

Su Ji replied, "Sizhang!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned, shook his head and said, "It took so many people to dig four feet in one day?"

Su Ji was also a little helpless, "Your Majesty, there is no other way, the tunnel is only that big, and there are only a few people who can directly dig the soil."

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "I can't go on like this, the digging speed is too slow, I must find a way to increase the digging speed, I don't care what method you use, you must dig through it within three days, once the time passes, it will definitely attract the attention of the other party, and they will be confused The mounds and high platforms have been piled up, why are there so many people working, as long as they are a fool, they will know that there is a problem!"

That's right, Su Ji's plan is to cover up his attempt to send people to dig a tunnel with a frontal and intensive attack. The entrance of the tunnel is chosen behind a high mound of earth, so that the high mound of earth can be used to block the sight of the defenders on the city wall , so that they cannot find out that someone is digging a tunnel.

"Yes, I must find a way to speed up the excavation progress!"

Su Ji returned to the camp with a sad face. Everyone knows that in the tunnel, the passage is so wide and the space is so large. There are at most five or six people who will carry out the excavation. After the excavation, the soil must be transported out. , seepage water comes in all the time, so we have to arrange personnel to scoop up the seepage water and put it into buckets to bring it out, and all this must be done in secret, and the movement should not be too big, otherwise, once the defenders find out the clues, it will not only be a waste of all previous efforts It is likely to be used by the defenders. When the time comes, a trick will be used, and those who enter through the tunnel may be wiped out.

At this time, the deputy general gave Su Ji a suggestion, saying: "General, it is better to dig in shifts. One person will get tired after digging for a while, and the more you dig, the slower you dig. You can dig at the fastest speed if you work in shifts! Finally, the general suggests dividing into ten shifts." , Each team digs fifteen minutes, then quickly withdraws and another team continues to dig, and one team after another will never stop!"

"In addition, the people who transported the soil and the people who transported the water should also be rotated in different shifts, which can improve efficiency. In addition, it is recommended to start working day and night at the end!"

Su Ji thought about it, and agreed: "Okay, let's do it like this, I will leave it to you! But you must pay attention to safety, and use planks and timbers to fix and support every foot of digging, so as not to cause landslides Things, when the time comes, all previous efforts will be in vain!"

"General, don't worry, the general will save!"

In the early morning of the next day, under the command of Su Ji, the Qian army continued to attack the city, adopting the same high-intensity and intensive attack mode, but this time he divided the attacking force into five echelons, instead of swarming to the city, each echelon attacked for an hour , Such a rotation, the echelon without siege missions rests on the spot, eats when it is time to eat, and continues to attack the city with siege missions, and they do not eat when others eat, and fight until dark.

He just wanted to use this hacking tactic to defeat the defenders. He didn't believe that the defenders were made of iron. It would be no problem to last for a day or two. If they lasted for a few days, even an iron man would fall down!

Chapter 1020 Night Attack

When it was dark, lights and smoky fires were lit in the camp. After dinner, the soldiers sat around the smoky fire and chatted, so as to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.

Su Ji came out from the tent and shouted: "Order!"

The messenger immediately ran over and straightened his body and replied loudly, "Yes!"

"Blow the trumpet, order the entire army to assemble in full armor, and let the logistics and transportation team prepare torches!"

"promise!"

The orderly promised to immediately run to the nearby camp to order the trumpeters to blow the assembly horn quickly.

The trumpeters who received the order quickly blew their horns, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The soldiers who were chatting around the smoke pile heard the sound of the assembly horn, and their faces changed drastically. They instinctively got up and ran to the open space to assemble.

The speed of the assembly this time was extraordinary, Su Ji didn't give the soldiers too much time to discuss, and when the army was assembled, he immediately ordered to attack the city, and the troops from the siege camp arrived shortly thereafter.

Zhao Junsheng was still eating dinner at this time, when he heard the sound of loud horns and a lot of chaotic footsteps from the Xie Cong army camp, he immediately stopped his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter? Come on, go out and have a look!"

A former imperial guard clasped his fists in agreement, then turned and left.

The great eunuch Kang Yide came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the sound seems to be the sound of horns from the Xie Cong army camp. What the hell is this Su Ji doing? Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to order General Yang to be on guard?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "What are you talking about? Could it be that he, Su Ji, can openly rebel and kill the king?"

Kang Yide quickly said: "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't mean that. I just think it's always right to be careful!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "It's okay, you don't need to suggest and remind me, Yang Lie will understand what to do!"

Of course, Yang Lie also heard the sound of horns gathering. He was puzzled at this moment, and while sending people to inquire about the news, he ordered the [-] cavalry in the battalion to gather and stand by to deal with emergencies at any time. His [-] cavalry were responsible for protecting the emperor. The mission of safety cannot be missed at all, and he has to deal with it with great energy if there is any trouble!

Not only Yang Lie here, Li Bao's Thousand Dragon Guards also quickly assembled under his orders.

Not long after, the people who had been sent out to inquire about the news returned and brought them back. Under the leadership of Su Ji, the Congregation Army went out of the camp and headed towards Chengdu City. They were going to attack the city overnight. Only then did Yang Lie and Li Bao let go. In one breath, he ordered the army to disband and rushed towards the commander-in-chief.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng was listening to the report of the imperial guards, all ministers and generals rushed to see him outside the commander's tent. He heard the report and ordered them to enter the account.

"Your Majesty, Su Ji suddenly organized an emergency mobilization of troops to attack the city at night, and he didn't say anything in advance, making the ministers think that he was going to gather troops and prepare to do something bad. Even if you want to attack the city at night, you should report to His Majesty in advance to get permission, this is a sudden attack, he is acting without authorization!"

Su Ji, as a military general who was born as a commoner, has always been valued and used by Zhao Junsheng. This also made many people in the court and the army fearful, and made many political enemies for no reason.

Like Su Ji, Yang Lie, Niu Dali, Pei Mingyuan and others who were born in martial arts at the same time were also reused. These generals are not founding fathers, but they have been very active on the battlefield over the years, and they have many opportunities to go out to fight , On the contrary, those generals who came from the founding generals and families of generals have few opportunities. Everyone understands that the emperor is deliberately suppressing them, so that they can check and balance each other. Everyone knows this, but there is no way, and there is nothing they can do. Dissatisfied, because the emperor did nothing wrong.

However, these military generals of civilian origin were not uncommonly attacked by some ministers and generals in the DPRK.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Where is Su Ji now?"

A royal guard stood up and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, General Su has led his troops to attack the city, and we should arrive at the city by this time!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, these ministers are right to complain, Su Ji's behavior is indeed suspected of acting without authorization, after some weighing, he said: "Let him finish this battle first and then deal with it!"

At this time, Su Ji had already led his troops under the city of Chengdu, but there was no sound in the whole operation, the army slowly approached the city wall and set up an army formation.

Su Ji immediately sent out a guard post to guard the surroundings, and the troops of the siege battalion prepared the necessary siege equipment. This time, he did not choose to attack the east city wall, but chose the south city gate that had never been attacked before.

For a long time, the dry army attacked the east gate and only once attacked the north gate. Neither the west gate nor the south gate had been attacked. Therefore, most of the defenders were concentrated on the east gate and the city wall, and the defenders of the other three gates Relatively few, especially the south gate where the way out was not blocked, the number of defenders here is the smallest, usually only 200 people, and even only 100 people were left here when the battle situation at the east gate was urgent.

"If tonight's sneak attack can break through the south gate, there is no need to dig the tunnel outside the east gate!" Su Ji said looking at the south gate in the distance.

The deputy general clasped his fists and said, "General, although this place has not been attacked before, the walls are high and thick. You watched the defenders light a fire outside the walls. If our soldiers approach, they will be spotted soon!"

Su Ji said: "Chen Xian is not easy to deal with. He has been guarding against water these days. If we want to break the city, we have to be surprised. Anyway, if you don't try, you won't know if it will work. But don't worry, I will We didn't put our hopes on this sneak attack, our purpose is to let Chen Xian take care of one thing and lose another, even if it is unsuccessful, we can disrupt Chen Xian's deployment and distract him through this incident!"

The deputy general clasped his fists and said, "Very well, please give the general an order, the last general will lead the troops to attack the city!"

Su Ji nodded and waved his hand: "Let the siege echelon carry the siege ladder to approach the city wall quietly, and the other soldiers will follow closely, and when they are near the fire, they will run quickly and rush to the bottom of the city wall as fast as possible to take the attack The city ladder is set up, and the follow-up soldiers quickly climb the ladder to attack, and the long-distance support of the archers must keep up in time!"

"Understood!" The deputy general agreed, "Brothers, follow me!"

The team quietly approached the city wall, and when they got near the fire, the figures of the soldiers were exposed, and the deputy general immediately drew his sword and pointed forward: "Rush!"

The soldiers rushed forward carrying the ladders, and the sentries on the city wall heard the sound of a large number of footsteps. When they looked down, they were frightened and terrified, and quickly rang the alarm bell: "Dangdangdang!"

The shrill roar of "enemy attack, enemy attack" spread throughout the south gate building and the city walls on the left and right sides.

All the defenders leaning against the parapet were shocked, and a hundred defenders stood up and looked down the city, only to see that the densely packed Concorde army had already rushed to the bottom of the city, and there were already Concorde soldiers on the ladders erected Struggling to climb fast.

The guard pulled out his saber and shouted at Xiang Yang: "Defend the archers and shoot arrows! Orders, report to the general and ask for reinforcements!"

"promise!"

There were too many allied troops in the sneak attack, and the defender Xiang Yang had to send people to support him. He was worried that if there were no reinforcements, he might not be able to defend for long. !
