I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 167
"Young master, don't hesitate any longer!"

"Don't hesitate any longer, the enemy is about to attack the city!" Zhang Liao was anxious like ants on a hot pot.

At this time, Su Ming had already made up his mind.

"Tai Shici!" Su Ming called Tai Shici.

"The last general is here!" Tai Shici threw away the half-eaten pancake, and cupped his hands to receive orders.

"Immediately distribute weapons and armor to those eight thousand strong men, and bring them to the city!" Su Ming gave an order.

"Decree!" Tai Shici said as he received the order.

Su Ming didn't use these eight thousand strong men except to let them carry weapons.

These strong men are different from the private army. The private army has undergone military training and knows some martial arts.

As for the strong men, apart from a handful of strength, they have not undergone any military training at all.

Even if weapons and armor are issued to these strong men, their combat effectiveness is very poor.

Poor combat effectiveness is only one aspect. The most important thing is that these strong men's psychological quality is also very poor.

Once the casualties are too large, they will definitely turn around and run away.

At that time, it will instead disrupt one's own camp.

Tai Shici went down the city wall to distribute weapons and equipment to the strong men.

As soon as Taishi Ci left, Zhang Liao said with a gloomy expression, "My lord, how can you use strong men to fight this kind of tough battle?"

"If you use these strong men, I'm afraid, you won't be able to hold it for an hour!"

Zhang Liao thought to himself, isn't the young master playing the piano randomly?

When the battle first started, it was okay to use strong men to reduce some casualties of one's own side while the battle was not intense.

Now that the war has reached a fever pitch, if you don't need elite soldiers, if you use the words of strong men, this is simply going to the doctor in a hurry.

Although there are a lot of these strong men, if they fight for less than an hour, the casualties are huge, and they must be defeated like a mountain.

At that time, these strong men will all squeeze under the city wall, and the city wall will be in chaos.

"Wen Yuan, I have my own way!"

"One person is desperate, ten people are unstoppable!"

"If these strong men work hard, at least they can fight off Zhang Yun's five thousand troops!" Su Ming said in a deep voice.

The strong men are on the defensive side, and Zhang He is on the offensive side.

In war, the defensive side has the upper hand.

No matter how poor the combat effectiveness of the strong men is, it will definitely not be a big problem for eight thousand strong men to defeat Zhang Xi's five thousand elite soldiers.

However, all of this is based on a premise.

That is, these strong men had to fight Zhang He's army on the city wall, instead of running away.

not running?

Impossible.

No matter how elite troops are, they will flee when casualties reach a critical point.

What's more, these are just young men!
Before Zhang Liao could ask his question, Su Ming had already started assigning tasks to Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan, later Tai Shici will lead eight thousand strong men to the city wall and take over the defense."

"Immediately take the rest of the soldiers and horses on the city wall to withdraw from the city wall for repairs, and then pile up dry firewood on all the passages down the city wall, pour kerosene on it, and light the fire." Su Ming gave Zhang Liao an extremely vicious order. The command.

Hearing this order, Zhang Liao couldn't help but gasped.

For this sake, Zhang Liao understood everything.

Su Ming withdrew the soldiers and horses on the city wall, distributed weapons and armors to the eight thousand strong men, and let the eight thousand strong men go to defend the city.

Then, Su Ming set fire to block the passage under the city wall.

In this way, there are only two roads left for the eight thousand strong men on the city wall.

The first is to fight to the end with Zhang Xi's army on the city wall.

The second is to forcibly descend the city wall and be burned alive by the fire.

Compassion does not command soldiers!
Su Ming's strategy vividly demonstrated the four words of compassion not in command of soldiers.

"Young master, why are you withdrawing your troops?"

"Let us stay on the city wall together, following the example of the overlord of Western Chu, throwing fire to block the way."

"In this way, everyone stays on the city wall together, and if the city breaks, they die together!" Zhang Liao suggested to Su Ming.

However, Su Ming shook his head and said, "Ye City must not be lost!"

"If Yecheng can be preserved, the world can be unified 20 years earlier. If Yecheng is not preserved, it will be difficult for the prime minister to unify the north."

"I withdrew these combat-capable soldiers and horses, so that after the city wall was lost, I would fight every step of the way in the city and fight Zhang Xi alley."

"Even if it's a street fight, I will hold on for a few days. As long as the prime minister's reinforcements arrive, victory will belong to us."

After understanding what Su Ming meant, Zhang Liao could only follow orders.

Soon, Tai Shici took the young man who was equipped with equipment and went up to the city wall.

These strong men hadn't experienced the cruelty of war in person, so when they first went up the city wall, they were still very excited.

These strong men have also selected mid- and lower-level officers such as commanders, commanders of centurions, and commanders of thousands.

The strong men in armor looked like the same thing, but once they fought, the gap between them and the veterans was immediately revealed.

After these strong men took over the defense of the city wall, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici immediately led the rest of the soldiers and horses to withdraw from the city wall.

At first, due to the long distance between the two sides, some bows and arrows and catapults shot at each other.

At this time, the strong men can barely cope.

Anyway, this kind of large-scale projectile does not require any accuracy.

Just draw the bow and shoot down. If you miss it, it depends on luck.

However, when Yuan Jun set up the ladder and began to attack the city, the gap between them was revealed.

In less than an hour, Yuan Jun had already attacked the city wall.

At first, Zhang He fought very carefully, but soon he discovered that the soldiers on the city wall were really poor in combat effectiveness.

At this time, Zhang Yun was a bit like a professional lol mid-range player.

That is, don't let me find out that you are weak, if you let me find out that you are weak, then I will kill you.

Zhang He discovered that the soldiers on the city wall were weak in fighting power, and immediately led the euphorbia soldiers to launch a fierce attack.

These strong men, how can they be the opponents of Euphorbia warriors!
Even ten strong men can't defeat one euphorbia warrior.

It took less than half an hour for Yuan Jun to attack the upper city, and the casualties of the strong men were less than one-fifth.

At this time, the strong men began to fail.

Some strong men started to run down the city.

When they ran to the stairs of the city wall, they saw that the stairs were full of dense dry firewood.

"General Su, I can't hold on anymore!"

"I can't keep it anymore!" The strong man above shouted at Su Ming after seeing Su Ming.

At the same time, more and more young men were fleeing, and they had already started rushing down the city.

Su Ming closed his eyes and ordered: "Light it up."

"boom."

"Boom, boom."

With Su Ming's order, all the dry firewood blocked at the stairs of the city wall were ignited.

These dry firewood were poured with kerosene, and in an instant, it seemed like fire dragons rose up.

Many strong men were squeezed into the fire, howling in pain from being burned by the fire.

At this time, the strong man on the city wall also understood.

Su Ming cut off their retreat, and now, they will either be burned alive by the fire.

Or, return to the city wall and fight Yuan Jun to the death.
