Ning Que sat at the table, looking at the map calmly.

"There are still quite a lot of people in the Goguryeo royal city."

"Gao Suwen is quite capable."

"He also has an inner city and an outer city."

"Even if I use kerosene, it will be difficult to break the city."

"And Gao Suwen has studied my tactics."

"Knowing that I will attack the city at night, I will take precautions."

"Attacking the royal city will definitely be a tough battle!"

Over the years, Goguryeo poured all its resources into the royal city, making it impregnable. It also adopted the construction method of the Dafeng city, divided into an inner city and an outer city, and also included a barbican.

The outermost and tallest city wall is the outer city.

After breaking through the outer city, you will reach the urn city.

This is what is called catching a turtle in a jar.

Even if they could break through the outer city, they would still have to face the inner city. With the current range of the trebuchets, they couldn't threaten the inner city. So there was only one solution: a brute force attack!

"Well, a tough battle is also possible." Feng Jie nodded. "To be honest, Goguryeo's defense is really not strong enough. The recent sieges have been too smooth, and there is no need to mobilize the main force."

"That's because you don't understand Goguryeo's thinking."

"What idea?"

"What do they care about the lives of ordinary people? As long as the princes and nobles living in the royal city are safe, it doesn't matter. Their goal is to disperse our forces. The royal city's defenses are strong enough to withstand our attack. As long as they wait until winter, when transportation of supplies will be difficult, what do you think will happen to us?"

“Are they so confident?”

"Are they still Goguryeo people if they lack confidence?" Ning Que couldn't help but smile, saying helplessly, "They're just like that. Dafeng's previous campaigns against Goguryeo ended in disastrous defeat, both times due to the cold winters and lack of food and fodder."

This was actually Goguryeo's strategy.

After all, they are a small country with a small population.

It is impossible for them to be a match for Dafeng in a head-on confrontation.

So they chose a protracted war!

Drag Dafeng to death!

Concentrate limited resources in the royal city.

Strengthen defenses and stockpile food as much as possible.

Even if Dafeng attacks by force, it will have to pay a price!

If it delays for a few months, winter will come.

What if there is a shortage of supplies?

This is also the fundamental reason why Emperor Feng urged him many times.

Dafeng can’t delay, and can’t afford to delay!

When winter comes, I'm afraid we'll have to withdraw our troops again.

"Then what shall we do next?"

"Goguryeo believed its capital city was impregnable, but cracks often begin to form from within." Ning Que waved his hand and said calmly, "I've already contacted Choi Keun-suk and provided them with a considerable amount of financial support. When we launch our general offensive, he will naturally send troops to aid us. By then, with both internal and external support, what do you think will happen?"

"Remember this: no matter what country or power you are, if you only increase your defensive capabilities, you will always be passive. The spear will always be stronger than the shield, and only those who control the spear can seize the initiative! Goguryeo's tortoise shell tactics may be useful to others, but they are meaningless to Dafeng. It all depends on whether Dafeng is willing to pay the price."

This is an eternal truth.

This is also Ning Que's strategic thinking.

Offense is the best defense!

“You’re amazing.”

"No wonder father always praises you."

"And you asked me to study hard with you."

"Follow me?"

"That's right." Feng Jie spread his hands and smiled. "Father knew you were planning to fake your own death and escape, so he specifically asked me to come with you. He also said that if you went to Lingnan, you would definitely be short of manpower, so it would be better to take me with you. Even if the Feng family really met with an unexpected disaster later, at least they would have me as their only child."

"Alright."

"We two brothers are just about to do something big."

"With your help, I can relax a lot."

Ning Que smiled.

Feng Jie definitely has the ability.

"Then you have to tell me what to do next?"

"I've already discussed this with Tie Niu and the others." Ning Que looked at the map and said softly, "After we capture the royal city, Gao Suwen will definitely try to escape. I'll lead my troops in pursuit and pretend they've fallen into a trap. Although I'll succeed in killing Gao Suwen, I'll ultimately perish in the sea of ​​fire."

"Then I'll go with you."

"Okay." Ning Que pointed at the map and said softly, "You can also inform my uncle that the subsequent attack on the royal city will definitely be a tough battle. Gao Suwen is a very capable man and is quite resourceful. With him personally in charge, many strategies cannot be implemented. My insider is like a sharp knife. He must act at the critical moment to achieve miraculous results!"

"I'll tell my father."

"Well, you can raise an army when you return. The time is set to be in twenty days. We will gather near the Goguryeo royal city."

"No problem!" Feng Jie quickly stood up and patted Ning Que on the shoulder. "Shou Bo is dead, you should also mourn. Although you can drink a lot without getting drunk, drinking too much is harmful to your health. Our top priority is to capture the royal city and fake our own death to escape. Time is running out, so I'll go back first."

"It's not safe to be on the road this late at night. Why don't we set off tomorrow morning?"

"Haha, it's okay." Feng Jie waved his hand nonchalantly. "I've been in Goguryeo for almost half a year, and it's been really uncomfortable. I finally waited for the general attack, so I must rush back to prepare."

"Then I'll arrange for some people to escort you away."

"It's okay, I brought all the people with me." Feng Jie just smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm a general after all, I wouldn't forget even these things."

"I'm really scared..."

Ning Que spoke softly.

Feng Jie suddenly came to his senses.

Only then did I know what Ning Que was worried about.
