Chapter 23: Failure


0Novel Reading Network As soon as Yun Qing's plan was revealed, everyone in the big tent fell silent.

Everyone, including General He, looked at each other in confusion.

This strategy is really beyond everyone's expectation.

It's not that this strategy is not good, but that this strategy requires too much time.

The lieutenants are very familiar with the detailed situation near Xia Qi City, and according to the intelligence received so far, the first wave of the prince's pirate troops is still about seven days away from Xia Qi City.

It would take at least ten days to dig a tunnel to reach Xia Qi City.

"Duke Yunqing, will it be too time-consuming to dig a tunnel?

The eldest prince's forward will arrive at Xia Qi City in seven days.

It will take at least ten days to dig a tunnel to the interior of Xia Qi City."

Fan Zhen suddenly stood up.

He raised his eyebrows and raised his own questions.

"Oh, isn't ten days too much?"

Yun Qing was a little surprised when he heard this: "According to my estimation, three days is enough at most.

How could it be more than ten days?"

"Duke Yunqing, if we want to dig a tunnel, we must do it far away from Xia Qi City, otherwise we will easily be discovered by their spies.

Then it will be all over.

This strategy requires a surprise attack to work."

Wang Yanglun also said reminded.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this at all."

Yun Qing laughed: "Everyone thinks too much.

We only need to set up the entrance of the tunnel in the camp.

We can just find any tent to dig in, and we don't have to worry about the enemy at all.

's spy.”

"Yunqing, although your idea is good, there is one problem.

What to do with the excavated soil?

If the enemy sees us transporting so much soil and rocks, they will definitely think of what we are doing."

General He pointed out to Yun Qing Disadvantages of this approach.

Qin Yulin on the side curled up her little mouth and muttered: "Grandpa, don't worry about this, isn't it just a bit of dirt and stone?

Yun Qing's storage ring is filled with it."

"Storage Ring" The generals looked at each other in confusion.

Several of them had never seen a storage bag that could hold two or three boxes, let alone a storage ring.

What's more, things like storage rings are all left over from the ancient times.

They are basically only owned by some big forces, and there are not many of them.

Only elite disciples will have them.

None of them expected that Yunqing had such a rare thing.

"Uh, that's right."

Yun Qing looked at the needle-piercing eyes of everyone and said sarcastically: "That's what I really think.

As for the capacity, don't worry, everyone can definitely fit it in."

Just kidding, the Martial God Pearl is a small world.

Let alone pretending to be so small, even if it can fit the entire Xia Qicheng into it, it is a pity that Yunqing's strength at this time is far from being able to do this.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's do it this way.

Just dig a tunnel."

Seeing Yun Qing's careful consideration, General He slapped the table excitedly and shouted.

After leading the army to rest for half a day, the army headed towards Xia Qi City.

Before that, Yunqing had someone send a letter to Xia Qicheng to the general Wen Tao who was in charge of Xia Qicheng, asking him to quickly open the city and surrender.

One day later, the army arrived outside Xia Qi City.

"General Wen Tao, I wonder if you can accept my proposal?"

Yun Qing shouted.

On the city tower, a general in black armor with his face covered by a mask replied: "You guys are rebellious officials and traitors, regicides and rebels.

The second prince will treat you badly.

Especially Lin Zhengxing, if the second prince didn't treat him badly, With his trust, I tell you today that it is absolutely impossible for me to surrender.

I have accepted the invitation of the eldest prince, and I advise you to quickly put down your weapons and surrender to me.

Otherwise, as soon as the eldest prince’s army arrives, it will be you.

's death date.

"Well, this guy has taken refuge with the eldest prince.

I told you that this guy is not a good person, but he has taken refuge with the pirate leader of the eldest prince."

Fan Zhen said angrily.

"Fortunately, this is what we expected."

General He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since he won't surrender, then we have to wait for the city to be defeated before having a good dialogue with him." dong dong dong

At midnight that night, Yun Qing commanded the soldiers to launch the first wave of offensive.

This wave of offensive ended with Yunqing's soldiers being shot by a dense rain of arrows from the city.

"Report" A squad leader came to report: "Reporting to Your Majesty the Duke, the enemy's east gate is very tightly defended and very vigilant.

As soon as the brothers rushed within the range of the bow and arrow, their archers fired."

"Report" in the other direction, the team leader responsible for this test has also said: "Report to Your Majesty the Duke, the south gate is heavily defended and cannot be approached."

Then the answer from the other two directions was the same, and the enemy was very vigilant.

Yun Qing nodded: "I guessed it, go down and rest.

Tell the person in charge of the next round and let them lead the soldiers to prepare.

It's up to you to cover the actions of the engineering troops."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."

The four of them went down immediately.

The rumble of war drums continued all night.

Yunqing divided the soldiers into several squads and took turns to attack the city.

They did not attack by force.

The soldiers rushed forward for a while, and then immediately retreated as soon as the city was defended by shooting arrows, and then used trebuchets to attack the city.

The city wall was smashed for a while, and then they retreated.

Not long after this group of people withdrew, the next group of people pushed several more trebuchets and launched an attack.

As a result, the defenders on the city wall didn't dare to rest at all, and they didn't even dare to close their eyes for a while.

Who knows whether this time is a test or whether they will really attack the city next time.

Early the next morning, when Yun Qing was in a daze, he was tormented by Qin Yulin.

"I said, you got up so early."

Yun Qing opened his eyes and saw Qin Yulin, and immediately turned over to continue sleeping.

"You're still sleeping."

Qin Yulin was very dissatisfied.

She jumped on Yun Qing and rode on her: "What the hell did you do to prevent people from sleeping?

The whole night was filled with the sound of drums."

"This is called the tactic of exhausting the troops."

Yun Qing turned to look at her depressedly: "Come down quickly, I can't breathe."

Qin Yulin jumped off him, with the intention of asking for help: "You are so embarrassed, you gave me a bunch of storage rings and asked me to help you load soil underground, and then you slept so soundly.

It was not easy for Luo Yong to replace me, Let me sleep for a while, but what tricks are you trying to get tired of?

Oh my God, you’re even tired of us."

"How could it be?

It's not us who are really nervous, it's them.

Because they don't know which wave of ours is a real siege, and they don't dare to relax at all.

As for us, the drum sound won't have much impact at all.

If you If you can't sleep, go and accompany the soldiers to attack the city a few times, and I guarantee that you will fall asleep after you come back."

Yun Qing said with a smile.

His meaning was very clear.

As long as his nerves were not extremely tense, the sound of drums was nothing at all.

Being unable to sleep only meant that he was not tired.

Well, if you follow the soldiers and attack the city a few times, you will ignore the drum sound when you get tired.

"Hmph."

Qin Yulin puffed out her cheeks, punched Yun Qing hard, and then went back to her tent angrily.

Needless to say, this little girl is going to take a nap.

God knows how long Yunqing will continue to toss.

If he can't sleep until he stops playing drums, he doesn't know when.

Yun Qing couldn't sleep due to her tossing.

He stretched himself and got up to go out.

He saw several lieutenants looking sleepy.

Since they knew that Yun Qing was going to use a strategy to exhaust his troops and attract the enemy's attention, they also divided up several waves of people to rotate in order to respond to emergencies at any time.

Throughout the whole day, Yunqing's offensive continued, with several waves of troops taking turns attacking the city.

Whenever there were fewer people on the city wall, the soldiers attacking the city would immediately yell and rush down the city with ladders on their backs, so that when the people on the city discovered this situation, they quickly called out those who were going to rest.

Come up, lest the defenders don't have enough manpower to come up together.

But when there were more of them, the soldiers attacking the city ran back with Yun Qing on their shoulders.

This made the soldiers who had just rushed to the tower stunned.

On the third day, Yunqing used the eyes of the Lightning Falcon to see many soldiers sitting on the ground against the city wall, closing their eyes and taking a nap.

He knew that the soldiers were extremely tired.

At this time, the tunnel has reached the final stage and will soon be dug into the city.

On the third night, when Qin Yulin shattered the ground with a sword and rushed out of the tunnel, Yunqing's strongest offensive began.

In the tunnel, Yun Qing rushed out after Qin Yulin.

But what greeted them was the defenders of Xia Qicheng.

"Hahaha, our general has known your actions for a long time.

Brothers, kill them all."

With this shout, ambushes appeared all around, and arrows rained down.

"Not good."

Qin Yulin's pretty face was filled with frost, and she waved the mountain wave in her hand.

Where the yellow light flashed, a stone wall suddenly appeared and turned into a lid to cover the mask handed to her.

"Yun Qing, what should I do if the other party is on guard?"

Qin Yulin's eyes flashed with flames.

As long as Yun Qing said to rush out, she would rush out and start killing.

Yun Qing was greatly surprised.

The other party actually expected his plan.

This was really strange.

Whether it is setting the entrance inside the tent or using a storage ring to store soil, the possibility of being discovered by the other party is eliminated to the greatest extent.

But now the other party still knows about this situation.

Either Wen Tao is cunning and has anticipated Yun Qing's plan, or there is a traitor in Lin Zheng's march.

The second one was eliminated instantly by Yun Qing.

In the past few days of continuous siege, the opponent's city gate has not even been opened, and his own soldiers have not shot an arrow, thus eliminating the possibility of using arrows to shoot news into the city.

The Lightning Falcon Xiaozi was monitoring day and night at high altitude, and no messenger bird ever flew out of Yunqing's camp.

The only explanation can only be that Wen Tao expected this.

Yun Qing took a deep breath, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Send the order and ask the soldiers to withdraw from the tunnel." 0Novel Reading Network:
