On August 29, the sky was covered with clouds, and it was the Wei army's turn to attack Suxian again.

I don't know if it was for "revenge" that Zhao Hongrun came to spy on their Qi army's siege twice. Anyway, today, Tian Danyi led a group of Qi army generals to watch the Wei army's attack on Suxian on a slope.

.

Different from the tentative siege battle the day before yesterday, today, Zhao Hongrun wanted to pose some real threat to Suxian County.

After all, the day before yesterday, in order to expel the Chu army hiding in the north of Suxian, the Wei army did not have enough time to build catapults, wells and other war weapons, so they only temporarily built some ladders.

What impact can these alone have on Su County?

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun only conducted two rounds of tentative attacks that day. The combined casualties were less than a few hundred people, so the Wei army withdrew early.

But today, due to the fact that the Qi army led by Tian Dan had created a gap in the southern city wall of Suxian yesterday, in other words, it had made great progress and breakthroughs in this siege battle.

Zhao Hongrun also couldn't hold it any longer. After all, if this continued, Wei Jun's limelight would be suppressed by Qi Jun.

This time the Wei army's attack on Suxian still chose the northern city wall of Suxian.

Firstly, the barracks of the Fenxing Army, Yanling Army, and Shangshui Army of the Wei Army were all built in the northwest and due north of Suxian County, so the northern city wall chosen to attack Suxian County was relatively close, making it easy to return to the camp; secondly,

Well, although attacking the southern city wall of Su County would be more difficult

There is an advantage, and the Wei army may even be able to use the gap created by the Qi army to enter the city. But the problem is that the gap is the advantage created by the Qi army. Although Zhao Hongrun wants to take credit, he cannot defeat the Qi army in full view of the public.

Use the progress for your own benefit.

"Your Highness."

In the main formation of the Wei army, Wei Jiao, the chief of the Zongwei army, nuzzled his lips in one direction, signaling Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun turned his head and looked in that direction, and saw Tian Dan leading a group of Qi army generals, watching from a distance. It seemed that he wanted to watch the Wei army's battle against Suxian today.

"Hmph! Is it because a gap was created in the south city wall of Suxian County yesterday, so you came here to show off your power?"

Zhao Hongrun secretly slandered Tian Dan, although he knew very well that with Tian Dan's magnanimity, he would not be as miserable as he thought.

Just like Zhao Hongrun had watched the Qi army's battles in the past few days, Tian Dan's visit today was just a normal "copying". To put it bluntly, he just wanted to see if he could learn anything valuable from the Wei army.

This is the love of learning as a general - whether it is from friendly forces or enemy forces, as long as it is good, you can steal it. This is what a general should do. It seems that some people are so arrogant that they don't need to

Stupid generals who learn from other people's military warfare methods often end up unhappy.

"Ignore it."

Zhao Hongrun said lightly.

At this time, Cai Qinhu, the general of the Fenxing Army's Western Guard Camp, and Wu Ji, the Shangshui Army's general, rode their mounts and came to Zhao Hongrun in person.

They are the protagonists today - according to the original agreement after the capture of Xiangcheng, after the two cities of Zhixian and Qixian, the third city of Suxian County should be the turn of the Fenxing Army to attack.

However, because two-thirds of the Fenxing Army was stationed in Xiangcheng and Zhi County, Zhao Hongrun summoned the Shangshui Army to assist the Fenxing Army.

Anyway, Cai Qinhu and Wu Ji had fought side by side in that night battle and had a very good relationship. Cai Qinhu didn't mind letting the Shangshui Army earn some military glory, and Wu Ji didn't mind giving the Fenxing Army a leg up.

But at this moment, there was a hint of confusion and confusion on their faces.

"Your Highness, do you really want to arrange it like that?"

Wu Ji clasped his fists and asked, saying that he had some doubts about Zhao Hongrun's tactical arrangements today.

"Just act according to my orders." After admonishing Wu Ji, Zhao Hongrun looked up at Cai Qinhu and said with a smile: "General Cai, please feel at ease and restrain your fighting spirit for the time being. I guarantee that Su County will be governed by

The Fenxing army captured it."

Cai Qinhu reached out and scratched his hair. According to his character, he actually didn't like to use any strategies. But Zhao Hongrun had already said this, what else could he say?

"Even so, I still want to be a pioneer officer!" Cai Qinhu said.

Zhao Hongrun smiled and left it to Cai Qinhu, because according to his tactical arrangements, their Wei army would not confront the Chu army in Suxian County head-on today, just like the Qi army yesterday.

After some instructions, Cai Qinhu and Wu Ji nodded, clasped their fists and left.

"..." Looking at the two people leaving, Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at the sky.

At the same time, Tian Dan was on the slope, looking at the entire Wei army.

"The Yanling Army of the Wei Army did not come... It seems that Ji Run does not intend to launch a forceful attack on Su County. Well, this is a wise move. But..."

He frowned and looked at the Wei army's formation. He found that the Wei army did not have a catapult, not even a basic ladder.

"What on earth is Ji Run planning?"

Tian Dan was really a little confused, because in his opinion, the Wei army had no catapults, no pit carts, and no ladders, which meant that no matter how many troops they had, they could not have any impact on Suxian.

At this time, beside him, there was Zhongsun Sheng, the general of the Northern Navy of Qi State. He pointed at the Wei army and said in surprise: "Tian Commander, look."

Following the direction pointed by Zhongsun Sheng's finger, Tian Dan squinted his eyes and discovered that there seemed to be many bundles of firewood piled in the Wei army's rear formation, and more firewood was coming from

Soldiers from the Yanling Army were transported here in a steady stream.

"Ji Run...what are you thinking about?"

Tian Dan was even more confused.

At this time, the other Qi generals also noticed this and laughed maliciously.

"Then what does Ji Run want to do?"

"I understand, he wants to burn the Chu army in the city to death..."

"Brilliant! It's indeed a brilliant move!"

Tian Dan frowned as he heard the cynicism and ridicule of Zhao Hongrun from the generals around him.

After all, although he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Hongrun's defensive and arrogant character, it was undeniable that the latter was also an outstanding commander with great military exploits. How could he do something stupid?

"Perhaps there is some deep meaning in this..."

Tian Dan said secretly.

As for the generals around him, he did not stop him. After all, Zhao Hongrun forcibly "borrowed" Donglai Army General Gan Mao from the Qi Army. Not to mention the anger in the hearts of the generals, even Tian Dan could not let go.

But having said that, what is Gan Mao, the former Qi State Donglai Army general who is currently serving as a pawn in the Wei army, doing?

Oh, he was listening with dumbfounded eyes to what Jiao Meng, the commander of his corps, told them about the tasks they had to shoulder in this battle.

"What? I...did I hear it correctly?"

Pointing to the bundle of firewood at his feet, Gan Mao asked dumbfounded: "Carrying the shield, braving the rain of arrows from the Chu army, we took this bundle of firewood to the foot of Suxian City and lit it... This

Is this the mission I’m waiting for today?”

Wu Zhang Jiao Meng was a very kind person. He did not deliberately embarrass Gan Mao because he had insulted their Shang Shui Army. Instead, he waved his hand and said humorously: "It's not just a bundle. His Highness said, each person needs at least ten

One round trip, that is, ten bundles."

"I……"

Gan Mao was choked and almost couldn't breathe.

Otherwise, today's "battle" would involve nearly 50,000 Fenxing and Shangshui troops, and there would also be 20,000 Yanling troops cutting down trees in the rear to make firewood. There would be too many soldiers involved. Otherwise, Gan Mao would really have to endure

I can't help but wonder if His Royal Highness Prince Su is deliberately trying to trouble him.

"What nonsense!" The soldier Lebao glanced at Gan Mao and said coldly: "Whatever the superiors say, I'll just do it, 'Yuan General'." His last word of address was full of ridicule.

This means that they have not really accepted Gan Mao, even though Gan Mao once pointed out the significance of their storming Suxian County.

At this time, Yang Wu smiled and said to Gan Mao: "It's okay, I will protect you. My martial arts skills are invincible in the world!"

The corner of Gan Mao's mouth twitched: He had figured out what kind of person Yang Wu was in just a day or two.

At this time, soldier Li Hui also advised: "General Gan, don't worry, since His Highness King Su asked us to do this, he must have his intention."

"I hope so." Gan Mao sighed, and then said to Li Hui: "I am no longer a general, just call me Gan Mao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bugle of the Shang Shui Army sounded, and the unique loud voice of Ran Teng, a thousand-man general, sounded from the front.

"Little boys! Pick up the firewood at your feet and charge it for me!"

"Whoa whoa--"

In an instant, Ran Teng's thousand-man team, no, it should be said that almost half of the merchant navy's soldiers, picked up the firewood at their feet and launched a charge towards Suxian.

The majestic momentum frightened Wu Yuan, the guard on the gate tower of Su County's north city wall.

It's no wonder, after all, the Wei infantry's momentum is superior to that of the Qi army.

But when Wu Yuan took a closer look at the charging Wei troops, he became a little confused, because he found that the Wei soldiers did not even carry weapons, but held shields in one hand and firewood in the other, and they were just facing him.

Suxian charged over.

"This...what's going on?"

Even though Wu Yuan was a brave general, he could not understand what he saw.

Beside him, Suxian County Duke Dongmen Mi was even more confused.

After a long time, Dongmen Mi finally said with a strange expression: "Wei Jun...isn't he going to burn the city?"

"..." Wu Yuan glanced at Dongmen Mi inexplicably and said to himself: The city walls are all made of stones. Can you burn them for me to see?

But having said that, other than this explanation, he really couldn't figure out what Wei Jun wanted to do.
To be continued...
