In the afternoon, Qin Qihu and his team changed their strategy.
Qin Qihu led several thousand people outside Guibei City and called out to Lou Yi, asking him to use money and property to redeem the Dayue soldiers captured by Yun Zheng and his men.
“Despicable!”
Upon hearing the news, Lou Yi couldn't help but curse.
Ransom the captives?
How could Yun Zheng let him redeem those captives?
Yun Zheng clearly wanted to shake their morale. He just wanted to let the defenders of Turtleback City see that he, Lou Yi, was unwilling to part with those properties and would not use them to redeem the prisoners.
Or they wanted to launch a surprise attack on them while redeeming the captives.
Anyway, Yun Zheng definitely has no good intentions.
I will never be fooled by Yun Zheng!
...
...
If you want to break through the turtle's back, attack openly if you have the ability!
He wanted to see what other tricks Yun Zheng had up his sleeve!
After thinking for a while, Lou Yi immediately ordered the commander of the personal guards: "Order Kucha to send a few hundred people to speak to the enemy and ask them to treat the captured soldiers well. After this battle, this prince will use the money and property to exchange for the prisoners!"
In fact, Lou Yi had no idea of Yun Zheng's real purpose in asking people to curse.
He just thought that Yun Zheng wanted to use this to undermine their morale.
But he knew in his heart that this kind of verbal battle would not do much to dampen their morale.
He just ignored Yun Zheng on purpose, wanting to make Yun Zheng feel like he was punching cotton.
He just didn't believe that those people could curse each other every day.
If they keep cursing like this for three to five days, I’m afraid these people won’t even be able to speak!
The disastrous defeat a few days ago made Lou Yi more cautious.
Now, he just wants to hold on!
Respond to ever-changing situations with constancy!
As long as I hold on, Yun Zheng’s conspiracies and tricks will be useless!
As long as they hold on, Yun Zheng will have to pay a heavy price if he wants to capture the turtle's back!
I will never give Yun Zheng another chance to use conspiracy and trickery to break into my city!
When Lou Yi made up his mind, Ku Cha, who was patrolling on the top of the city, also received Lou Yi's order.
Kucha immediately organized people to speak to Qin Qihu and others.
"Your Highness, please ask King Jingbei to treat our captured soldiers well. When this battle is over, Your Highness will definitely..."
The voices of thousands of people gathered together, allowing Qin Qihu and the others to hear them clearly.
"Damn it, this bastard Lou Yi won't take any advice or hard words!"
Qin Qihu cursed and sent someone to report the news to Yun Zheng from the rear.
"Lou Yi is scared of being beaten."
Lu Xing shook his head and smiled, then said worriedly: "If Lou Yi keeps defending like this, it will be very difficult to capture this Turtleback City!"
The terrain conditions of Turtleback City are very good.
It is not a strong pass, but it is better than a strong pass.
If you attack with force, you will definitely fail.
"Don't worry, my dear brother will definitely find a way to open this turtle shell!"
Qin Qihu was full of confidence. "At worst, we can just storm! If that doesn't work, I'll ask for a fight, and our Blood-Cloaked Army will act as the vanguard! As long as our vanguard gets in, the enemy will definitely not be able to stop us!"
"Are you overthinking this?"
Lu Xing shook his head and smiled, "Your Highness may be reluctant to use the Blood-Cloaked Army as the vanguard!"
The vanguard troops often suffer the heaviest casualties.
Moreover, although the Blood-Cloaked Army is very powerful, siege is indeed not its strong point.
If it is a charge into battle, the Blood-Clothed Army will definitely be the first to bear the brunt!
"You know nothing!"
Qin Qihu glared at Lu Xing with his eyes wide open. "Our Blood Shirt Army has been in existence for such a long time, but apart from the last time we raided the enemy camp on the Sulu River, we have never fought a real battle! The Blood Shirt Army spent so much money but couldn't fight a real battle. Isn't it just an embroidered pillow that looks good but is useless?"
"this……"
Lu Xing was speechless.
yes!
The Blood Shirt Army has the highest salary and better food than other troops.
Although they have fought in every battle since their establishment, they have failed to live up to the reputation that the Bloody Army deserves.
Previously, when the Blood-Cloth Army fought against the Buwanda of the western desert tribes, they fought quite well.
But that was because the enemy's rear was empty, and theirs was a completely one-sided massacre, so it was not a tough battle at all.
An army that cannot fight tough battles is nothing but a useless thing, isn’t it?
Thinking of this, Lu Xing immediately said: "If they want to attack by force, let's go to His Highness and ask for a fight!"
"Yes, that's what I mean!"
Qin Qihu nodded heavily, staring at Turtle Back City with a fiery gaze, "We are the Blood Clothes Army. If we are not as good as the Guiyi Army, we will just find a piece of tofu and kill ourselves!"
Lu Xing nodded slightly, and his eyes gradually became hot.
While the two were discussing the matter of requesting to fight, Yun Zheng also received a message sent back by Qin Qihu.
Upon hearing Lou Yi's reply, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
This bastard Lou Yi has once again made the excuse.
Using this move to undermine the enemy's morale and spirit can mean the end of the war.
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the entire army retreat five miles and set up camp! Jia Yao, immediately transfer 10,000 elite cavalry from your side!"
"What are you going to do?"
Jia Yao was secretly worried, wondering if Yun Zheng was really going to attack the city by force.
"What else can I do?"
Yun Zheng said helplessly: "A strategy to tire out the enemy!"
A strategy to tire out the enemy?
Jia Yao was slightly stunned, then reacted.
She understood what Yun Zheng meant.
He ordered his men to launch feint attacks day and night to exhaust the enemy.
I can't even sleep well.
And because their soldiers had retreated the camp five miles, they would basically not be disturbed by the sound of the feint attack and could take turns to rest!
This is a good idea!
Although it is impossible to capture the turtle's back, it can make the enemy exhausted.
The more tired the enemy is, the lower their morale.
"There's no need for me to go back and lead the troops."
Jia Yao said, calling his personal guards, "Order He Asu to lead 10,000 elite cavalry here immediately!"
After the guards left, Jia Yao looked at Yun Zheng with interest again, "If you were the one defending the city now, and the enemy used this trick on you, how would you respond?"
"If it were me, I would have typed it out long ago!"
Yun Zheng said unhappily: "Only a coward like Lou Yi can endure this! He thought he could definitely hold on, but he didn't know that if you defend too long, you will lose! The best defense is offense!"
Is that so?
Jia Yao lowered his brows in thought.
The best defense is offense?
There seems to be some truth in this.
However, it doesn't make sense.
Lou Yi had just suffered a crushing defeat. If he were to attack at this time, wouldn't that simply be giving Yun Zheng an opportunity?
Why do I feel like Yun Zheng is lying to me?
never mind!
Just listen to this!
Anyone who regards it as a golden saying may end up hurting himself.
Just as the two were talking, Shen Kuan's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.
"Your Highness, the deputy commander sent an urgent message!"
Urgent news?
"Send it in!"
Yun Zheng stood up immediately.
Chen Kuan quickly opened the curtain and ran in, delivering the urgent report sent by Dugu Ce.
Yun Zheng quickly opened the letter.
Dugu Ce's letter was very brief.
The tribes in western Moxi gathered an army of 150,000 and attacked Xing'an Fort fiercely...
