Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 312: Dongjie Army is thinking of siege strategies

At this time, a short and fat military advisor in the tent had been thinking for a long time. He stood up and said to General Hu Tuxian: "General, if we can't do it, we can build a small hill of corresponding height within the range of our shooting. In this way, our archers can directly shoot the defenders on the city wall. We can also build a high tower and push it directly to the foot of the city to shoot their soldiers. We can also transport our soldiers to directly attack the city."

He added: "Even the materials of the attic must be fireproof. If they shoot at it with rockets, it will easily catch fire, and the effort will be in vain."

Hu Tuxian and Jin Hachi stood up straight at the same time. This was a good idea. They could plan it carefully. Otherwise, they would just fight hard, with little chance of winning and heavy casualties.

When they came this time, they signed a military order because they were all in favor of war and would be punished if they failed to win.

This is understandable. Now the most difficult bone in every country is the army. They are most disgusted with surrender and signing unequal peace treaties, and they firmly believe that force can solve all problems.

Although the Ansheng Kingdom did not come to discuss an unequal treaty this time, they used to be able to plunder things without paying any compensation. Now asking them to exchange their own things is tantamount to inequality for them.

Most of the people in Dongjie Kingdom do not agree with this. They have been domineering for so many years. How could they be willing to exchange things honestly?

But when they came, they found that the city walls of Ansheng Kingdom had been raised and thickened, and the strength of the army had also increased. This was due to the changes brought about by the Su family. They had food and drink and often strengthened their training. How could the strength of the army change?

The defenders of Ansheng have been able to eat their fill this year, and they often have eggs and meat as snacks, which was something they could never even think of before. Now the soldiers have less sorrow on their faces, and more determination and courage.

Many of us have served in the military, and most of us did not volunteer. If we were hungry and went to war, we would definitely be unhappy. Although we dared not disobey orders, we would have no strength if we were hungry, so we would have to fight desperately.

Now, everyone has enough food and drink. The general has money, so he has given everyone new uniforms. Now the soldiers in the border town are very satisfied. At this time, they may not be able to have enough food and wear new clothes at home!

The Dongjie Kingdom came to attack the city, and the soldiers were full of energy and had endless strength. They beat the enemy and made them scream. The soldiers' morale was high. At this time, many people realized how important it was for them to go out for training, and everyone's physical strength was much better than before.

At the end of the day, when the enemy retreated, the soldiers stopped and replaced them with new recruits to guard the city. Everyone began to rest on the spot under the city.

The firemen had already cooked hot porridge in big pots, adding shredded chicken and chicken bones as the base. The fragrance could be smelled from a distance. A young soldier came over carrying a large winnowing basket with a mountain of steamed buns piled up on the table next to him.

The soldiers lined up in a long queue beside several pots, each with a large bowl of porridge and steamed buns. Although there were no vegetables, the porridge was salty and everyone couldn't wait to eat it. Many people squinted their eyes and enjoyed the meal.

Today, because everyone worked hard to defend the city, the porridge was cooked thick and fragrant. The chef put a lot of effort into it. It was no worse than what the chefs in the restaurant made. The porridge slid smoothly into the stomach. What else could be unsatisfactory?

The soldiers were all very tired, and some of them lay down to sleep right after they finished eating. It didn't take long before they were snoring loudly. They were all rough men, and no one looked down on anyone else. They squeezed together and fell asleep.
