Xin Wenli retreated a few times to Lianzha's camp and then thought about how to deal with the enemy.
After he calmed down, he began to think.
From the looks of it, he had almost the same military strength as Wu Jiang County, so there was no point in forcefully attacking the city.
The correct method was to lure the Jiangdong Army out of Wujiang County.
After thinking it through, Xin Wenli had a plan.
"Pass on my order. We will start the siege tomorrow.”
The corners of Xin Wenli's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
The military order was quickly passed down. On the second day, the army gathered in front of the city gate of Wujiang County.
On the city wall of Wujiang County, the Jiangdong Army was also prepared to defend the city.
"Could it be that Xin Wenli lost his younger sister, so his thoughts were in a mess. He actually dared to forcefully attack the city?”
Hou Junji, who was in charge of guarding the city, frowned as he curiously muttered to himself.
"If he wants to do so, then let him be.”
Du Fuwei said disapprovingly.
In any case, Xin Wenli chose to attack the city, and only the Sui army was lost. It had nothing to do with the Jiangdong army.
"Attack the city!"
When the siege ladder was ready, Xin Wenli directly issued an order.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time. Xin Wenli first used the arrows to attack the city. After a wave of arrows, he directly built a ladder to attack Wujiang County.
Faced with thousands of arrows, the Sui army on the city wall hid in the watchtowers.
This way, the damage caused by the arrows could be reduced.
After the arrows were used up, the Sui army began to use the siege ladder to attack the city. This was the time for the Jiangdong army to exert their strength.
Archers and pikemen were stationed at each of the city walls.
The archers attacked the Sui army that was climbing the ladder from a distance. If the Sui army was too close to the top of the city wall, then it would be the time for the Spear Army to attack.
The spears of the Spear Army were longer than ordinary spears, which was to attack the Sui army from a further distance.
The battle quickly reached its climax. Countless Sui soldiers were shot by arrows and fell down from the ladder. Otherwise, they would be pierced through by spears.
Blood flowed down the siege ladder to the ground, and the thick smell of blood began to spread.
From the start of the war until now, the Sui army had suffered a lot of losses in the siege battle and had been unable to break into the city wall.
Even though some soldiers charged forward, they were quickly killed by the rest of the Jiangdong Army.
After about six hours, Xin Wenli gave the order to retreat. The army simply cleaned up the corpses on the battlefield and retreated.
The first siege had ended, but Hou Junji and the others knew that Xin Wenli would not let this matter rest and would most likely continue to attack the city.
Sure enough, at dawn the next day, the Sui army changed the time to start the siege.
This time, it was even more fierce than yesterday. The Sui army pressed forward continuously in order to quickly take down the city.
Xin Wenli's commanding method could even be described as crazy.
However, the strength of the two sides was almost the same. After yesterday's siege, the morale of the Sui army had obviously decreased. Although the attack was fierce, the damage caused was not as strong as yesterday.
The siege lasted for nearly a day.
Around evening, Xin Wenli gave the order to retreat.
The Sui army once again returned empty-handed, and the corpses on the ground had piled up.
The thick smell of blood could be smelled from the city walls of Wujiang County.
Moreover, the number of soldiers cleaning up the corpses this time was even fewer than yesterday. After two consecutive days of attacking the city, the Sui army seemed to be a little tired.
There were no orders from the Jiangdong Army, so Cao Yun wanted to see what Xin Wenli was planning to do.
At noon on the third day, when the sun was at its fiercest and the Jiangdong Army was feeling sleepy, Xin Wenli led his troops again and launched a fierce siege.
The siege ladders were set up, and the attacking forces were even more. This was a battle that was almost suicidal.
"Kill them!"
The battle cries shook the heavens and the earth. There were many more corpses than yesterday, but the Sui army still rushed up the city wall one after another.
"Has Xin Wenli gone mad?"
Hou Junji didn't understand Xin Wenli's actions at all, and even Du Fuwei was stunned.
The two of them thought that Xin Wenli had lost his mind because of the capture of Xin Yue E.
The siege ended very early, and it lasted less than four hours.
After Xin Wenli gave the order to retreat, he immediately retreated. Moreover, when he retreated, his troops were somewhat flustered and scattered.
After retreating, they did not even clean up the corpses. Their fatigue was completely displayed.
After all, the three days of siege had indeed consumed a lot of their energy.
Xin Wenli led his troops and retreated for about 20 miles. After that, there was no movement.
Only at this time would the new ritual strategy come into play.
First, he attacked fiercely for three consecutive days. Even if there was no progress, he would attack the city regardless of everything. This gave the enemy the illusion that his mind was in a mess.
After the third day, the Sui army pretended to be tired and retreated. In addition, the retreating troops were in a hurry and scattered, so they did not even care about the corpses.
Then, the Jiangdong Army, who was watching helplessly, would know that the Sui Army was already exhausted. It was the best time to pursue.
At this time, Xin Wenli only needed to wait for the Jiangdong Army to come. This was his overall plan.
When the Jiangdong Army came to their doorstep, they would pretend to be tired and burst out with the lethality they should have. Defeating the Jiangdong Army would be easy, and they could even set up an ambush in advance.
The whole plan was flawless for Xin Wenli. He believed that the Sui army would fall for it.
After he retreated, the scouts sent out by Wu Jiang County brought back the information about Xin Wenli.
In the meeting hall, Hou Junji and the others arrived.
"My lord, I believe that the Sui army has been attacking for three days without any progress. Their morale must have dropped greatly. This is the best time for us to attack!”
Hou Junji clasped his hands.
"The Sui army retreated in panic because they were afraid that our army would pursue them. Moreover, the Sui army looked tired and did not even have time to deal with the corpses.”
Du Fuwei cupped his hands and said.
Fang Xuanling did not say anything. The rest of the people basically agreed to send troops to pursue. After all, the fatigue of the Sui army was too obvious.
As long as they sent troops to pursue, taking down Xin Wenli would be a piece of cake.
"No."
Just as the matter was about to be settled, Fang Xuanling suddenly spoke.
"What do you think, Military Advisor?"
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Cao Yun turned around and asked.
He was also thinking about whether to pursue them. After all, there was something fishy about this matter.
"Although the Sui army retreated in panic and did not even have time to clean up the corpses, their flag was still erected high. Isn't this suspicious?”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard as he spoke.
As soon as he said this, everyone began to ponder.
If the Sui army really retreated in a panic, the flag would certainly be tilted and not erected in front to guide the army behind.
