Chapter 43 Problems
The army headed towards the city wall like a tide, and then howled and stepped onto the ladder in the astonished eyes of Mengge and others, and swarmed the soldiers who rushed up the city wall one by one, and fell down quickly after rushing into the mouth of the city wall, as if behind the city wall, except for a few places, a large number of soldiers who rushed up the city wall were killed without even having time to make any extra moves.
How many troops does the opponent have?
Brother Meng noticed something was wrong and immediately stepped onto the platform. The true energy in his body gathered his eyes and looked towards the direction of the city wall. After seeing this, his face turned pale.
He saw that the city guarding mechanism behind the city wall was more cruel than the puppets he had seen before. Four weapons greeted the gaps all the time. Few soldiers who climbed up the city wall could avoid the attack. Occasionally, someone cut off one or two wooden stakes of the mechanism, but they could not affect the movement of the mechanism at all.
"Damn!" Meng Ge's face was terrible and he was unwilling to accept it, but watching countless soldiers go up to die one after another, he could not cause too much gain, and the casualties rate...
They are all agencies, and there are only a few places where there are people. It should be that some agencies were damaged by the siege and the casualties ratio was damaged. He didn't want to calculate it anymore.
Anger filled his heart, but as an excellent warrior of the Mongo tribe, his rich experience in leading troops allowed Mengge to suppress his mind being overwhelmed by anger and issued an order to withdraw his troops.
If you continue to fight, it will only cause casualties.
After a quarter of an hour of attack, the army rushed forward like a tide.
Jiang Cheng stood on the top of the city and was relieved until he was sure that the other party had withdrawn his troops and returned to the camp. It was the same thing as assisting Zhao Zihao before. He only needed to tell Zhao Zihao his thoughts. But at this moment, when he was ordered in danger, Jiang Cheng could feel how much pressure was on Zhao Zihao. The lives of the soldiers of the three armies were all tied to one. Every decision he made in Zhaowu City could affect the fate of these people.
The pursuit that he had agreed with Zhao Zihao before, but in the end, because Zhao Zihao's coma was not executed, he didn't know who could be competent. As for Jiang Cheng himself... What he feared most was not ignorance, but self-righteousness. Jiang Cheng followed Zhao Zihao to lead troops in the past two days. Zhao Zihao could use the soldiers of Wu Rui Camp to command Rubing, but he couldn't, don't talk about fighting outside the city. Even in this battle to defend the city, Jiang Cheng was quite struggling to command. He didn't know which person to go where and who was able to do what. He didn't know how to go out of the city to fight in such a state?
It feels simple when you read it, but it is another matter when you do it yourself.
Fortunately, I was just guarding the city, and fortunately, I had done a lot of mechanisms in advance. There were not many places that really needed the soldiers to fill the gap. Jiang Cheng could barely deal with it. No matter how many, I had to wait for Zhao Zihao to wake up.
While ordering people to clear the battlefield, Jiang Cheng ordered a general to monitor the enemy's movements and took the others to visit Zhao Zihao.
"How is it?" Jiang Cheng asked in the city lord's mansion, looking at Bai Zhirou with a worried look on his face.
"I have asked the doctor to see it, but the doctors in this city have limited abilities. I just say that General Zhao is very weak, but I can't see anything else." Bai Zhirou sighed and shook her head.
"I'll go and have a look." Jiang Cheng took everyone into the room. Looking at Zhao Zihao, who had a pale face on his face, Jiang Cheng reached out, took the other person's wrist, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
"Mr. Jiang... still understands medical skills?" A general looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise and closed his eyes and took his pulse, very suspicious of Jiang Cheng's ability.
"Of course." Yue Shan, who was standing beside him, proudly raised his chest with a large scale and said proudly: "My younger brother is a genius from my Mathematical Art Academy. He is not only proficient in mathematical arts, formations, mechanisms, weapons, alchemy, medical divination, and qi qi, and Feng Shui and geomancer. Earlier, someone wanted to frame us in Tianyuan City, but the younger brother saw the cause of the other party's death at a glance, and judged that it was exactly the same as Wu Zhouzi, a famous doctor in Tianyuan City."
"My general is not dead, how do you, a woman?" The general glared at him and said dissatisfied.
"Thirteenth Sister!" Yue Shan wanted to say something, but Bai Zhirou glared at her and immediately retreated aside with some aggrievance.
"General Zhao used too much force before, and the true energy in his body was consumed and even overdrawn in a very short time, resulting in the appearance of exhaustion and drying of the lamp, which was already damaged." Jiang Cheng had already stood up at this moment and looked at the generals with distrust and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask any doctor to take your pulse for General Zhao, but there are any mistakes and let them deal with it."
The generals and officials in Wurui Camp looked at each other when they heard this. One of them bowed and said, "Mr. Jiang is the person trusted by my general. We also admire Mr. Xu's methods. It's just that it is related to the safety of my general. I hope Mr. Xu..."
"Understand." Jiang Cheng had already written a prescription and handed it to a general and said, "After confirming, you can let him take a look at this prescription. If there is no problem, please get medicine for General Zhao as soon as possible. Don't delay it. After confirming, come to my study and be entrusted by General Zhao to defend Zhaowu City. There are many things I don't understand. I need to learn from you. Jiang is not greedy for power, but only wants to be able to defend Zhaowu City before General Zhao wakes up, and I hope you can help me."
"Sure." The generals had nothing to say. Zhao Zihao temporarily entrusted his Wu Rui Camp general order to Jiang Cheng. This is what many people have seen. Although he complained about Jiang Cheng's performance during his command today, Jiang Cheng's posture is so low that it is not easy to say anything else, so he had to bow and answer.
Jiang Cheng took Bai Zhirou, Yue Shan, Huo Wei and others out of Zhao Zihao's room and went straight back to the guest room.
"Young brother, why are you so polite to them? You are right?" After leaving the city lord's mansion, Yue Shan finally vented her dissatisfaction.
"They are not wrong. Not everything in this world must be fought for right or wrong. What we need now is their help. It is best to be able to complete our tasks. Others are trivial matters." Jiang Cheng said without considerate.
Bai Zhirou said worriedly: "I didn't think it was before, but today, after General Zhao fell into a coma, I can feel it if you defend the city on his behalf..."
"It's much different, right?" Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Bai Zhirou didn't say anything more. In fact, not only Bai Zhirou, but others could also notice that Zhao Zihao could command everyone in an orderly manner, but today Jiang Cheng's command was a bit chaotic. If it weren't for the mechanism set up by Jiang Cheng that blocked most of the pressure, the consequences would probably be unimaginable.
"So, we must play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses." Jiang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "I am like you. I am the first time I go to the battlefield, and I can command thousands of troops as soon as I come up. Do you think of me too highly?"
When everyone heard this, they remembered that although Jiang Cheng had been calm and wise these days, in fact, like them, it was the first time he had stepped on the battlefield and vomited on the first day. It was indeed a bit unfair to measure Jiang Cheng using Zhao Zihao's standards.
"How to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?" Bai Zhirou said curiously.
"Do what we are good at. Everyone should have recorded a lot of data. According to their respective ideas, we will make some improvements to the city defense. There is only one goal and to save our army's combat power to defend the city." Jiang Cheng looked at everyone and said in a stern manner.
