"That" Wanshi bit her lip tightly and looked a little embarrassed.
"If you want to fight, fight hard.
I don't believe you can't defeat a tired army."
Sha Dingzhou clenched his fists and said fiercely.
Wanshi does make some sense if he thinks about it carefully.
This Ming army is said to be led by Qin Liangyu.
They must have been very exhausted from the long journey from eastern Sichuan to Yunnan.
Most of the reason for being able to capture Fengwu Institute was good luck.
If Sha Dingzhou was in charge of Fengwu Suo, it would be impossible for the Ming army to capture it.
Such an army seems to be in great momentum, but in fact it is weak and has nothing to fear at all.
All they have to do is wait for work and stay in Kunming City waiting for the Ming army to attack.
"Well, then my husband should still order martial law throughout the city to prevent Ming army spies from sneaking into the city and causing chaos."
Sha Dingzhou nodded lightly and said, "Of course.
However, my husband is not planning to order people to block the city gate.
Instead, he will build a temporary camp outside the city gate so that he can leave the city at any time to pursue the Ming army."
There are generally two ways to defend a city, one is to defend it completely.
In this case, the city guard will order people to block the inner city gate with huge stones.
In this way, it is impossible for the siege team to use ordinary battering rams to break open the city gates, and they can only choose ants to attack the city.
And this method of siege comes at a huge cost.
Even if the city is finally captured, a layer of skin will be lost.
But since the city defenders blocked the city gate, it was naturally impossible to break through the city gate.
Under normal circumstances, the defenders are prepared for a last-ditch battle and do not consider the possibility of retreat.
Another way to defend the city is to build a camp outside the city gate to block attacks, as Sha Dingzhou said.
This tactic is very suitable for cities with Wengcheng.
This is the case in Kunming City.
With Weng City, there is no danger even if the first city gate is captured.
On the contrary, the siege party may be pocketed and beaten indiscriminately.
In this case, the defenders would set up a camp outside the city.
If the siege party wants to attack a city gate, they must first attack the camp in front of the city gate.
If the defenders cannot defeat them, they can retreat back to the city.
If the siege party continued to pursue, they would face volleys from all sides.
And if the defenders have the upper hand, they can even go out to pursue them.
Even in the worst case scenario, where the city is about to be breached, the defenders can still choose to break out without being trapped and dead in the city.
Under normal circumstances, when the defenders feel confident, they will choose the second method.
And if they feel pessimistic, they will generally choose the first option.
Of course, Sha Dingzhou believed that he was the dominant party, so he chose to build a camp outside the city gate without hesitation.
Sha Dingzhou laughed wildly and said: "It seems that the Ming court really has no one to use.
It actually sent an old woman in her seventies to lead the army.
It is really laughable.
I will capture Qin Liangyu alive this time."
After Qin Liangyu led the army to Kunming City, he did not immediately order an attack on the city, but ordered the soldiers to form formations.
At the same time, she ordered the soldiers to start digging a tunnel.
She wanted to use Gao Jie's tried and tested tactics during the Northern Expedition to completely blow open the city wall.
This tactic can minimize the losses of the siege party and save the lives of soldiers to the greatest extent.
It's just that Qin Liangyu has never used it before.

Although he heard that it is very useful, he can't help but feel a little uneasy.
Seeing the Ming army starting to dig tunnels, Sha Dingzhou on the top of the city laughed loudly and said: "Madam, you saw it, this old woman didn't even dare to attack the city with ants, so she started digging holes."
Wan Shi also beamed: "This Qin Liangyu seems to be really confused.
How is it possible to dig tunnels and attack the city in less than a month?
And as long as we defend well, they will not succeed."
Sha Dingzhou hummed and narrowed his eyes slightly to stare at the gradually rising mound.
"What do you think would happen if we sent someone to fill in the hole?"
Wan's eyes lit up and she said: "This is a very clever plan, suffocate them to death inside."
The space in the tunnel is small and the air is thin.
If the entrance of the cave is blocked, the people inside will really be suffocated to death.
Of course, this move will not hurt the Ming army, but is more of a demonstration to tell Qin Liangyu that Sha Dingzhou is not easy to bully.
"Okay, let's do this" "Commander, look quickly" Zeng Ying saw a group of cavalry rushing out of the camp and rushing toward the mound, and quickly reminded Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu said majestically: "General Zeng, take five hundred cavalry and go to stop them."
Qin Liangyu was not worried that the entrance to the cave would be filled in by the rebels, but more worried that the rebels would see what was inside the tunnel.
After all, tunnels are generally dug very wide so that a large number of soldiers can be transported in.
But the Ming army dug a tunnel this time that was only as big as a coffin.
If the rebels were allowed to see the details and report them to Sha Dingzhou, they would probably doubt the Ming army's true intentions.
Qin Liangyu didn't know that Sha Dingzhou had heard of the tactic of bombing the city without a coffin, but he should still be careful.
The sudden effect of this tactic is definitely better.
Zeng Ying immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order: "General, I will obey my order."
Zeng Ying turned his horse's head, ordered the five hundred men, and then went to kill the rebel cavalry.
Speed is key in cavalry duels.
Whoever can increase the speed will have a greater chance of winning in the hedging.
At this point, the Ming army led by Zeng Ying clearly had the advantage.
Their mounts are more explosive than the Yunnan horses of the rebels, and their ability to accelerate in a short period of time is extraordinary.
The rebels did not panic when they saw the Ming army's cavalry suddenly attacking.
They adjusted their formation and decided to have a head-on confrontation.
I saw yellow dust billowing, and two teams of cavalry faced each other head-on.
Suddenly, the men fell on their backs and their horses neighed.
Zeng Ying had rich combat experience.
He cleverly took advantage of the length of the horse in his hand to sweep several rebel soldiers off their horses.
Most of these rebel soldiers used knives and posed no threat to Zeng Ying at all.
The other Ming army cavalry were also very brave.
They were all Zeng Ying's personal soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was significantly higher than that of the rebel soldiers.
They only charged one round and smashed the rebel formation to pieces.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rebel generals quickly signaled a retreat.
If you continue to fight at this time, not only will you not gain any advantage, you may also get yourself involved.
The Ming army cavalry would not let them go so easily.
They skillfully controlled their horses to pursue them, and during the pursuit, nearly a hundred rebel cavalry were killed.
The rest of the rebel cavalry fled for their lives in a panic, and only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after escaping all the way into the camp.
Sha Dingzhou couldn't help being furious when he saw this.
"These losers really embarrass me."
Wan comforted: "Husband, don't be angry.
It's okay if the hole is not filled in now.
When the Ming army's tunnel is about to be dug and a large number of soldiers are transported in, we will divert the canal to pour water and drown them alive."

Hearing this, Sha Dingzhou felt a little better, nodded and said: "Yes, catch them all in one go
