Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

秣陵

Dong Guowei waved the war flag and said loudly, "Soldiers, listen to the order. The first batch to attack the Moling City today will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"

The soldiers below were all agitated when they heard this, "Oh - oh -"

"Now, prepare to attack the city!"

woo woo woo woo--

Dong Dong Dong——Dong Dong——

There was a sound of drums and a charge horn sounded.

"Come on!"

Dong Guowei stood on the square chariot, watching the forwards carrying the ladder and charging into the battle despite bursts of arrow rain.

Someone fell, someone rushed over.

Soon, soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall. Once the ladder was set up, they climbed up with great skill.

Dong Guowei watched intently. The first soldier managed to dodge the attack from above and had climbed to the top of the city tower. He only had to pass through the crenellations to enter.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he let out a cry of pain and retracted his hand unconsciously. At this time, the soldier was standing on the ladder. His sudden movement naturally caused an imbalance in his body, and then he screamed. Falling straight down.

This situation happened one after another. It had been almost half an hour, but no one had yet attacked the city.

"What's going on?" Dong Guowei also saw that something was wrong.

At this time, the forward general came back with a soldier, "General Dong, the enemy should be equipped with some sharp objects around the crenellations of the city wall. Look -" He motioned to the soldiers to stretch out their hands.

I saw that the soldier's palms and arms seemed to have been cut open by something sharp. They were full of wounds and were bleeding profusely.

"A sharp object? Could it be a thorn inserted into it?" Dong Guowei thought to himself.

"General Dong, it's not a caltrop. I saw that thing. It's sharp, sharp, transparent, and firmly attached to the crenellations."

Dong Guowei frowned and nodded. It seemed that it would be difficult for them to attack the tower this time, so he turned his attention to the car crash.

He noticed that whether it was a car or a piece of wood, the soldiers worked together to slam it into the city gate, but the city gate did not move at all.

no progress.

When Dong Guowei was worried about the progress of the siege, the soldiers guarding the city at Moling City only felt that the pressure was greatly relieved.

If an enemy is attacking, it doesn't matter if they can't take care of it for a moment. After the opponent's hand and arm are pricked, they can just hit it in time.

After another half an hour, Dong Guowei confirmed that the difficulty of attacking Moling had indeed increased, and had more than doubled, and decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops and stopped the siege.

In a siege battle, if you can't attack the opponent's tower or open the city gate, continuing to do so is just a needless sacrifice.

Wuwuwu——

The imperial court ordered the troops to retreat, and the soldiers who attacked the city retreated like a tide.

Waves of cheers came from the Moling Tower.

The general who defended the city immediately sent someone to report the good news to King Jin.

"Your Majesty, Dong Guowei has withdrawn his troops."

"Hahaha." King Jin laughed heartily.

"Your Majesty, the imperial court's attack has not lasted for less than an hour."

"The casualties must have been too great. Dong Guowei felt sorry for this old man!"

After this battle, King Jin's favor towards Pingzhou gradually increased.

Bai Xingzhi on the side frowned. He was not as optimistic as King Jin.

The territory of King Jin has shrunk too seriously. Originally, King Jin started from the four counties of East China Sea. Now half of Xin'an County is gone, and one-third of Kuaiji is lost. Danyang has transferred two cities to Pingzhou, and only Wu County of the four counties is completely in hand.

After all, they only had two counties left.

The land of two counties has to support 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses...

Now they are not worried about food and grass because of King Jin's family, but in the long run, it will definitely not be possible.

He just hoped that their plan would go smoothly and that the imperial court would mobilize its troops to the north as soon as possible. In this way, they have a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of the news coming back from Chang'an, Bai Xingzhi smiled. Their people naturally contributed to Sun Laotaijun's behavior of almost forcing the emperor.

Bai Xingzhi thought to himself, keep at it!

……

Xie Zhan and his subordinates were discussing matters, and the emperor's edict of rebuke arrived.

The entire imperial edict has the same meaning: to reprimand him for slacking off, not being dedicated, and having a meal without his body...

In short, he is dissatisfied with his current progress in encircling and suppressing King Jin.

Xie Zhan knelt down to receive the order and apologized.

Faced with Song Mo's edict of reprimand, Xie Zhan was very calm. He didn't care about Song Mo's evaluation, so Song Mo's reprimand could not affect him.

However, the expressions of all the members under his command were not very good. The emperor was reprimanding Xie Zhan, the commander-in-chief, so why wasn't he scolding them?

They have only been attacking Donghai for a long time, and they have already conquered so many cities! They were advancing in an orderly and rapid manner. Just like this, the emperor still thinks they are slow?

The emperor's difficulty in serving was most vividly demonstrated at this time.

At this time, Dong Guowei sent someone to report the battle situation at Moling.

Naturally, Dong Guowei immediately reported Moling's strange behavior to the Commander-in-Chief Xie Zhan.

Dong Guowei said that the difficulty of attacking Moling had increased.

Pingzhou got involved. It was difficult for those present not to guess in this direction. Will the cities of King Jin become more difficult to attack in the future?

With this thought, coupled with the previous rebuke edict, the faces of the generals present became solemn.

"Since King Jin has defended Moling this time, will he not give Pingzhou another city?" Xie Nan said mockingly.

The others laughed too.

Xie Zhan stood in front of the map and did not smile, but he did not stop them from making fun of King Jin.

He focuses on the entire battle situation, not the gains and losses of one city or one pool.

In fact, Xie Zhan believed that Pingzhou still had the ability to continue to capture the city, but Pingzhou was really too stable, playing steadily and conserving its strength.

The King of Jin gave two cities to Pingzhou for nothing. He was unhappy at first, but from another perspective, it would force Pingzhou to continue to widen its defense line and accelerate Pingzhou's consumption of food and grass, which was not a bad thing.

Now that he knew that Pingzhou was helping King Jin to strengthen the city, Xie Zhan was not too angry.

In his opinion, the Jin Dynasty's Pingzhou Expeditionary Force in the East China Sea is like a duckweed with two leaves and no roots in a pond. So what if there are many tricks to attack left and right? The last thing cannot escape his grasp.

……

Mr. Wang Juntao was restricted by Xie Zhan to Meishan Manor in Juzhang.

Qin Sheng and his men successfully sneaked into Juzhang, and then found a secret place to hide near Meishan Manor.

After settling down, they were not idle.

It didn't take much time to figure out Juzhang's defense points and troop distribution, and of course the situation of Meishan Manor, such as patrol rules and slogans.

Qin Sheng keenly noticed something was wrong after one visit. Later, he personally searched around Meishan Manor and eliminated all the people hiding in the dark.

Before rescuing people, Qin Sheng asked someone to notify Lin Shan and ask him to take precautions.

Qin Sheng didn't know what would happen after he rescued the people, but he intuitively felt that Xie Zhan should have made corresponding arrangements for the Caobang.

Like his wife, when making a plan, she always deduce several possible scenarios and then prepare three sets of backup and response plans.

Although he didn't want to admit that Xie Zhan had a brain, he had to face up to his insidiousness.
