Chapter 816 What a waste!(1/2)
He Wuji had seen a lot of white cloth stained with blood, but he had never seen one with writing on it.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he took down the cloth and unfolded it completely, he immediately jumped up.
"What's happening here?"
"This is actually...actually..."
"News from the people in the city!"
"quick!"
"Ready your horse!"
"I'm going to meet up with the slaves!"
The soldier who reported the news looked puzzled. General He had just come down from the front line, why did he suddenly want to go back?
I kept going back and forth, but I really couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
Only He Wuji, who was on horseback, knew that as long as this letter was delivered to the slave, the situation on the battlefield might change immediately...
On the other side, at the south gate of Yecheng, the team led by Wang Shilang was also approaching rapidly.
"Zhiyuan, let's rush there now. The Qin soldiers must have been prepared. Do they want to change their strategy?"
While running wildly, He Mai's little head did not stop turning for a moment. Since the Qin soldiers had already thought of coming to Fugu to lay an ambush, it was obvious that they had expected that the Jin army was likely to find a breakthrough through the weak point of the south gate.
Now, the Qin soldiers who delivered the message will definitely return to the city before them, and the defenders in the city will definitely be prepared.
Couldn’t the Jin army take advantage of the so-called surprise tactics?
Unlike the worried He Mai, Wang Mi seemed extremely excited at this moment and was not affected by the bad news at all.
He said with emotion: "Everything has its own destiny, and victory or defeat is not determined by human power. Why should you worry unfoundedly, Amai?"
"It's enough to just believe that victory will belong to us in the end."
The confidence is indeed high, but whether the situation can develop as Wang Mi said is a matter of discussion.
At least, He Mai couldn't completely believe it at this moment.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Wang Mi knew what he was thinking.
He Mai has always been a talkative person. When he is in a good mood, he always looks for something to say when he has nothing to say. Now he asks questions by himself but doesn't answer for a long time. There can only be one possibility: he does not support Wang Mi's idea.
"Amai, you can think about the whole thing from the other side."
"Since Niu Zan and the others knew they were going to lay an ambush in Fugu, it means that even the Qin soldiers felt that the defense at the south gate was problematic and a weak point."
"In other words, even if the defense of the south gate is strengthened, it may not be enough to withstand the Jin army's attack. That's why this group of Qin soldiers took the risk and divided their troops out of the city to ambush."
"Doesn't this just mean that we made the right choice by choosing South City Gate as the breakthrough point?"
As soon as Wang Mi spoke, He Mai suddenly felt his head buzzing!
A sudden enlightenment!
yes!
Why did the Qin soldiers go out of the city to ambush?
Isn’t it because the defense force at South Gate is weak?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep the soldiers who were fighting the ambush to strengthen the defense of the south city gate?
Why sacrifice the near for the far?
It seems that as soon as the army arrives, Nancheng will march down!
And what is the real situation here at South Gate?
There is no need to carefully consider the defensive strategy of the Qin soldiers, just look at the confused state of those Qin soldiers who were hastily deployed.
Yecheng is indeed an ancient capital. More than a hundred years ago, it became the capital of Cao Wei due to its important geographical location.
At that time, with the majestic Bronze Bird Tower and the magnificent palace, everyone in the Middle Earth knew the magnificence of Ye City.
However, more than a hundred years later, nothing seems to have changed, but it is always changing.
Yecheng, under the control of Di Qin, has long lost its former grandeur. Many palaces are dilapidated and the streets are unplanned.
Even the once impregnable city wall has suffered a lot of damage.
Especially the south city gate was more seriously damaged, and the previous occupiers also made some major improvements to Ye City.
This makes the external structure of Yecheng appear more chaotic, which is not obvious at the north gate of Yecheng's facade.
But when we get to the South City Gate, the situation is not optimistic.
The turret built in the front is still standing there, but the outer wall has been severely weathered and peeled off, and from a distance, it looks quite shaky.
The south city wall is close to Fu Valley, and further down Fu Valley, there is a forest and pasture. You can easily get here by passing through the south city gate.
In the past, all the generals stationed in Yecheng were all serious and rough men. It would be difficult for others to force them to write and write.
Their hobbies are just wielding swords and guns. When there is no war, the itchy generals have to think of something on their own.
One of the great channels for consuming a strong spirit is to go hunting out of the city. There is no general who doesn't like hunting.
It should be said that generals who are good at fighting are all masters of hunting.
Killing people on the battlefield and shooting animals in the jungle are roughly the same principle.
In order to facilitate hunting, when Di Qin entered Yecheng, he found that the corner of the south gate leading to the hunting grounds was very low.
It is convenient for the generals to lead their large armies out of the city.
When the Qin soldiers discovered this loophole, they were not in a hurry to repair it, but continued to let it go, even cutting off a part of the city wall near the south wall, and connecting it with the previous damaged part.
Of course, such laissez-faire was entirely dependent on the situation being stable and Di Qin's control being impregnable. But now, suddenly one day, the powerful dynasty collapsed instantly. This was obviously not what Qin Bing had expected.
The Xianbei people and the Jin people arrived one after another, which was even more unexpected by the Qin soldiers.
When the war heats up, there is no time left to repair the city wall!
This is why, rather than risking his life, Niu Zan took his troops out of the city to ambush the Jin army.
Once the Jin army that came around can be repulsed, more time will be gained to repair the city wall. But now, since the ambush has not been successful, the so-called time will naturally be unavailable.
The soldiers temporarily dispatched to the south gate were all defeated at the north gate, and their morale was already low.
When we arrived at the South City Gate, we had no fighting spirit at all.
Not to mention, there are many laggards among them.
Aren’t the Qin soldiers’ per capita combat capabilities extraordinary?
Why are there still people holding us back?
Of course!
Don't forget, among the soldiers temporarily assigned to guard the South City Gate, there are still many who are not even serious soldiers!
Those brave men who were temporarily recruited from the city did not want to follow the Qin soldiers. Originally, they had some scruples at the North Gate.
At least, Zhang Hao is still very scary.
When we arrived at the South City Gate, we were freed from Zhang Hao's control. Isn't it wonderful?
It is necessary to be lazy and slippery, but after all, these people are considered a minority among the Qin soldiers.
After all, the overwhelming majority of the Qin soldiers were still Di people.
As long as the Di people are diligent, the Jin people will not be able to make too big a splash.
Unfortunately, the problem really lies with Di Ren.
Since Zhang Hao could be transferred to the south city gate, although Zhang Hao did not say it clearly, his intention was still obvious.
You have been abandoned!
Obviously, these soldiers who were assigned to the South City Gate were not favored by Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao believed that these soldiers were originally reserves and substitutes, and were not considered elites.
In this case, you, Zhang Hao, look down on your brothers. Could it be that your brothers will work hard just because they are suddenly being reused?
Of course it’s impossible!
The Qin soldiers at the south city gate not only did not work hard, but also took advantage of the opportunity of being unattended to act arrogantly.
The weapons assigned to the brave men in the city are all of the worst quality.
The arrowheads of many arrow clusters are bent, and they are all used, not new!
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to guard with all their heart?
Of course not necessary!
The Qin soldiers did not have that strength, but what about the Jin people?
But he didn't even have that intention.
In such a sparse situation, what they were about to face was a long-distance attack by Beifu soldiers with the strongest firepower and superior combat effectiveness.
"No matter what, we still have to shoot a few arrows at the city just to show off."
