Chapter 449: Discuss the offensive plan (change 4/11)

After four months of fighting by the Su Family Army, the original 200,000 soldiers were left at about 140,000. Nearly one-third of the soldiers died, which was a great loss for the Su Family Army.
Su Qin also felt distressed about this, but the morale of the Su family army did not decrease as a result, on the contrary, it became more vigorous. After several battles, the Su family army was finally regarded as a real elite division.
When Su Qin attacked Bincheng, he led 400,000 troops, with more than 130,000 casualties, and killed more than 140,000 enemy troops and captured nearly 30,000.
Although the casualties of the soldiers exceeded a quarter, compared with the results, although the losses were a bit tragic, it was considered a victory.
After Su Qin led the soldiers to fill up to 300,000, they separated from Xueqinghe and the others in Pengcheng, and continued towards the fourth pass, Picheng. It is estimated that it will take about half a month to arrive.
After Su Qin walked for five days, he received the news from Xueqinghe sent people. There were four spirit masters in Pengcheng who had left and detoured towards Xingluo City. I hope that Su Qin will be more careful and try his best Xingluo City’s reinforcements arrived before and took the last two levels.
After discussing with high-level officials such as Yu Tianheng and Yu Xiaoju, Su Qin accelerated the march and arrived at a place five miles outside Picheng two days earlier than originally planned.
Su Qin did not attack Picheng non-stop, but asked the army to repair and adjust its state. Only after the soldiers have a good condition can they take down Picheng more easily.
The army was repairing, but Su Qin also sent scouts to approach Picheng to investigate the situation.
Picheng has received news that the Tiandou army is about to attack the city. At this time, defenses are being stepped up on the city wall. There are many soldiers patrolling on the city wall. It is impossible to judge the specific number of the defenders of Picheng. Did not get the support of the Star Luo Empire.
The moat of Picheng has not been changed, but the suspension bridge over the moat has been demolished. There are many pit traps 50 meters away from the city wall that have not been perfected.
The marching formation of the 300,000 army was still very large. After Picheng discovered that Su and Qin's team were approaching, he immediately abandoned the unfinished traps and returned to the defense in Picheng.
Tiandou Yifang camp, within the largest camp.
Su Qin sits in the first place, Xue Di and Zi Ji sit beside Su Qin, Poison Douluo is in the first row on the right, Yu Xiaoju, Niu Tie and others sit side by side, Niu Tie and other Su family generals sit on the right. Yu Xiaoju and others are sitting on the left.
Su Qin glanced at the people below and slowly said, "Do you have any ideas on how to attack Picheng?"
The camp was quiet for a while, Yu Xiaoju slowly said: "The overall strength of the Xingluo Empire is not much different from that of our Tiandou Empire. The number of Xingluo soldiers we encountered exceeded 600,000, and the other 600,000 were Being delayed by the Wuhun Empire on another battlefield, there will not be too many defenders in Picheng, and we can take a powerful attack to quickly take Picheng."
Su Qin shook his head slightly when he heard the words: "The imperial general, although the storm can indeed take down Picheng quickly, but according to the current situation, Xingluo City may have received the news of our siege, so it will definitely send a large number of soldiers to the first place. Five checkpoints in Huicheng.
After we have taken Picheng, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to win Huicheng. Therefore, we can take Picheng at the least possible cost and not rush to attack Huicheng. "
After hearing the words, everyone thought about it for a while, and felt that Su Qin's words were reasonable. They all nodded slightly, obviously all agreed with Su Qin's words, and no one sang the opposite.
Yu Tianheng pondered for a while, and then said: "I think of a way, you generals may not be feasible. We don't know the exact number of defenders in Picheng, but there are not many defenders in Picheng. I guess Picheng The maximum number of defenders is 50,000.
If 50,000 people guard a city wall, although our army has 300,000, it should be able to persist for a long time and even cause considerable casualties to our army. But if the opponent's 50,000 people guarded the four walls separately, then the number of people in each place would be only more than 10,000 at most. Our 300,000 troops were divided into four directions to attack the city, and each place had more than 70,000 people.
We attacked the four walls at the same time, we can quickly take down Picheng with a small loss. "
After a short pause, Yu Tianheng continued: "We don't necessarily need four people to be the same. We can pretend to attack the city in three ways to attract the opponent's attention, and then attack the opponent's wall all the way to take down Picheng before the opponent reacts. "
Everyone thought about this siege plan in their minds after hearing the words, and after thinking about it, there was a little surprise in the eyes of Yu Tianheng.
Su Qin thought for a while, smiled at Yu Tianheng and nodded, "Yu Tianheng's plan is quite feasible, what do you think?"
Yu Xiaoju also smiled and nodded at this time: "Yu Tianheng's plan is feasible in general, but how to attack the city needs to be discussed. I agree with this plan."
Shi Tiannan glanced at Yu Tianheng with some surprise, and nodded with a smile, "I agree too."
"I agree."
Both Yu Xiaoju agreed, and the other generals had no objections, and they all agreed. Niu Tie and other generals of the Su Family Army all nodded in agreement after seeing Su Qin's consent.
Next, everyone carefully discussed the specific siege plan, and quickly made a decision.
The city wall to the north of Picheng was the key defensive target of Picheng’s defenders. Su Qin led 80,000 soldiers to pretend to attack. The west wall and south wall were respectively led by Yu Xiaoju and Shi Tiannan with 50,000 fetuses. Since this plan was invented by Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianheng led an army of 120,000 to attack the East City Wall and must take the East City Wall as quickly as possible.
It takes about five days to make a detour to the southern city wall. After all the troops in the four directions arrive at the predetermined location, Su Qin decides the specific attack time.
After discussing the specific plan, everyone left to rest.
The next day everyone mobilized soldiers and set off toward the predetermined location. In the past few days, Su Qin launched a feint attack to attract the attention of the Picheng defenders.
The way to attract the attention of Picheng’s defenders was also very simple. Su Qin led an army of 80,000 to a station outside the wall of the beneficiary, sent someone to persuade one to surrender, and then used twenty catapults to harass.
Su Qin did not take the initiative to attack. Although Picheng's defending general noticed something was wrong, he did not dare to take the initiative to counterattack. He could only passively defend. Su Qin suddenly attacked the city.
Two days later, the troops on the east wall and the west wall were already in place. The defensive general of Picheng immediately realized what was wrong, but he had no solution. He could only divide his troops to the other walls to stop him, and at the same time began to conquer the city. Civilians participated in the war.
