July 30, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.
At 20:46 p.m.
The southern front, the eastern battlefield, outside mayin City, the headquarters of the Eastern Route Army.
After Su Cheng ordered to stop the attack and return to the camp, the dark clouds poured down the rain that had already been prepared.
The dense rain curtain shrouded the mayin city and the East Route Army camp, adding a trace of hazy beauty to the battlefield now full of awe.
Raindrops hit Su Cheng's coach camp one by one, splashing one transparent spray after another.
Willie, the commander of the 4th Army and the commander of the 8th Army - these three knights who hold the highest real power in the East Route Army are now gathered in Su Cheng's commander camp.
Su Cheng naturally sat behind the long table in the camp, drinking the warm black tea in his hand, and looked at the three people standing in front of the long table with indifferent eyes.
Willie's three people were stained with some blood. Everyone lowered their heads and looked ashamed, as if three children had done something wrong and were waiting for their parents to punish.
As for Alan and Deng Jia'er, they were also sent out by Su Cheng at this time. Now, there are only Su Cheng, Willie, the commander of the 4th Army and the commander of the 8th Army.
Since Su Cheng summoned the three men into the camp, he has not spoken. He asked the three men to stand there all the time, while he silently sat behind the long table and tasted black tea.
Su Cheng didn't speak, so Willie and the three naturally didn't dare to speak casually. They had to stand in place, bow their heads and wait for Su Cheng to make a sound in silence.
In the camp, such a strange atmosphere was maintained for a long time.
After a while, Su Cheng finally finished drinking the black tea.
After gently putting the empty black tea cup back on the table, Su Cheng finally made a noise:
"In the first world war today, 39 long ladders were damaged, 1768 soldiers were killed and injured, and one Xingui Knight of the fourth army was injured. He paid such huge casualties, but there was no progress in the capture of mayin city. From the beginning of the war to the end of the war, I didn't find a stronghold on which the soldiers under the wall could climb the wall stably."
"Ladies and gentlemen, in the face of today's' brilliant achievements', do you have anything to say?"
Su Cheng straightened up slowly as he spoke.
The light emitted by the oil lamp behind Su Cheng makes Su Cheng's shadow long.
Su Cheng's elongated shadow was like a mountain on Willie's three people.
After hearing Su Cheng's question with almost no emotional color, Willie and the three people shivered gently, and a fine cold sweat began to appear on their foreheads.
Just now, after finally hearing Su Cheng's speech, Willie and the three people actually had some happiness in their hearts.
After all, this silent atmosphere is really very uncomfortable.
However, after hearing Su Cheng's difficult questions, Willie and the three fell into more serious fear and panic than just now.
Willie glanced at the commanders of the 4th Army and the 8th Army on his left and right sides. After thinking about the meeting, Willie finally sighed, took two steps forward and was ready to reply to Su Cheng.
Willie is the deputy commander of the East Route Army. He is second only to Su Cheng in status and power in the East Route Army. Therefore, he is also the highest among the three people. Willie has to answer Su Cheng first because of his emotion and reason.
"Return to the commander..." Wei said in a somewhat unwilling tone, "it's not that our soldiers are not brave enough to lose the first battle against mayin city..."
"The city of mayn is well fortified with equipment and supplies, including boulders, boiling water and arrows. Before reaching the city wall, our soldiers were shot by arrows, rushed under the city wall, and attacked by boulders and boiling water. Before climbing the city wall, our soldiers were killed and injured... "
"At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the defenders of the city of mayn should not be underestimated. The defenders of the city of mayn have high morale and strong combat effectiveness. The luoxie guarding the city of mayn is also very capable. The advance and retreat of the Rowling army on the city wall is orderly and well-organized. It seems that there are very strong commanders commanding them..."
After listening to Willie's words silently, Su Cheng took a deep breath and then slowly vomited out of his lungs
While slowly exhaling, Su Cheng leaned back and leaned back on the back of the chair.
"We've all lost the war. There's still so much to say, one by one." Su Cheng's tone was already a little unhappy and sarcastic.
"This..."
Willie opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally he obediently closed his lips again, with a look of shame on his face and buried his head lower.
He understood that Su Cheng said a lot. If he lost, he would lose. How can there be so much to justify?
Su Cheng moved his eyes and swept the faces of Willie, who stood in front of him and hung his head low.
Then, Su Cheng's face flashed a helpless color and sighed gently.
Su Cheng knows that today's defeat in the first battle can't be blamed on the three Willies in charge of on-site command and the soldiers below.
After the war, Su Cheng constantly inspected the war conditions of the three walls in the north, East and West.
The troops in either direction can be said to have done their best. From the beginning to the end of the battle, no soldier escaped.
But unfortunately, as Willie just said, the defensive forces in mayn city have strong combat effectiveness and high morale. There are a lot of defensive equipment in mayn city. Coupled with the good command of Rocher, the defensive General of mayn City, it is not too much to describe mayn city as solid as gold.
In fact, if Su Cheng continues to launch a fierce attack on the mayin city in the next time and continues to use the crowd tactics, he can indeed win the mayin siege with corpses.
After all, despite a series of previous battles, Su Cheng's troops are now less than 40000, but compared with the 5000 garrison in mayin City, Su Cheng's troops still have the absolute advantage.
The use of crowd tactics consumes the number of defenders in mayn city little by little. There will always be a day when the city will be broken.
However, Su Cheng does not intend to use the crowd tactics to deal with mayn city.
Although it is only a matter of time to win the siege by using the crowd tactic, using this tactic will lead to a problem - the casualties will be very heavy!
According to Su Cheng's estimation, if we really want to use the sea of people tactics to break through mayin City, we must pay at least thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties to do it!
This is inconsistent with Su Cheng's operational philosophy of minimizing his own casualties.
In Su Cheng's understanding, winning the war is not his goal. His goal is to win the war with as little loss as possible.
However, if the crowd tactics were not adopted, Su Cheng could not think of any suitable strategies to deal with mayin city for a while.
Alas... It's really difficult... The siege is really annoying... There are too few strategies available in the Siege
After complaining in his heart, Su Cheng stood up and walked towards the exit of the camp.
Willie and the three naturally immediately and respectfully separated the two sides and gave way to the road in the middle.
Su Cheng went to the tent, lifted the curtain and looked out.
Su Cheng's vision passed through the heavy rain curtain and threw into the far away mayin City, which was emitting lights.
Silent, thinking.
At this time, the remaining light from Su Cheng's eyes swept a huge shadow.
The huge shadow crouched like a monster on the plain on the west side of mayn city.
——That's tipping hill.
Tipingning mountain is a mountain range on the west side of mayin city. When marching towards mayin City, Su Cheng also studied the terrain around mayin city in detail. Therefore, Su Cheng naturally has some understanding of tipingning mountain range on the west side of mayin city.
Tipingning mountains, with an average altitude of about 900 meters, strike east-west, and the overall terrain is not steep.
Tipingning is not a very large and steep mountain, so it is a "holy land" often visited by many idle mountaineering enthusiasts in the Lorraine Empire (these people are basically aristocrats who don't have to worry about their livelihood). Many mountaineering beginners will come here to practice in the tipingning mountains, which is almost the simplest difficulty.
Su Cheng's ultimate goal now, riche City, is located about 200 miles southwest of the tipingning mountains.
Su Cheng just looked at the tipingning mountains for a few times, then took back his eyes and continued to look at the mayin City wrapped by layers of rain curtain in the distance.
"How on earth can we capture mayin city at the lowest price, and then support the West Route Army that may have fought with the main force of the Rowling army outside Richie city..."
——Su Cheng whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
