Wu Ji was a little puzzled. When Zhao Hongrun turned his attention to the Han army outside the city again, he asked Zhai Huang in a low voice: "Am I wrong?"

Zhai Huang smiled slightly, lowered his voice and explained: "Looking at the Korean army outside the city, there are not many siege equipment, so this battle should be mainly to test the strength of our army, so there is no such thing as a three-way drum.

The Korean general on the opposite side will withdraw his troops after understanding the general strength of our army. At this time, if he leaves the city for a sneak attack, it will not have the effect of accelerating the enemy's defeat."

In fact, when he said this, Zhai Huang also murmured in his heart, because according to common sense, it is exactly what he said, but don't forget that the leader of his Shang Shui Army in front of him at this moment has the ability to kill the enemy with a single cavalry formation.

If he is capable, if he goes out of the city to kill the enemy general, he might even be able to defeat the Korean army.

"I see."

Wu Ji suddenly realized.

Glancing at Wu Ji, who looked suddenly enlightened, Zhao Hongrun shook his head secretly. It was undeniable that Wu Ji had indeed read a lot of art of war over the years, but it was a pity that this guy was too straightforward. To put it bluntly, he just studied hard and failed to use it flexibly.

But no matter what, it has indeed grown a lot compared to the past. At least in Zhao Hongrun's view, as long as you don't encounter enemy generals like Li Mu, Le Yi, and Tian Dan who use a combination of good and deceitful tactics to make it difficult to guard against, if you face ordinary

General Wu Ji should not make any tactical mistakes.

While Zhao Hongrun was testing Wu Ji, in the Han army camp outside the city, Yuyang guard Qin Kai was also peeping at the Wei army on the wall of Julu City from a distance.

He instinctively felt that the overall state of the Wei army was not tense. He even saw many Wei soldiers standing on the city wall, folding their arms and looking down at the Korean army with a relaxed expression. This made him secretly surprised: This

Isn't the Shang Shui Army's pre-war state too calm?

The status before battle is a very critical issue. If the soldiers are too nervous before battle, the soldiers may not even be able to perform to their usual level. This is why some recruits are obviously very good during training, but once they set foot on the real battlefield,

But he did nothing and was even killed by the enemy in the blink of an eye.

It has to be said that Qin Kai does not know the Shang Shui Army, otherwise, I believe he would not be surprised by this.

You must know that in the past ten years, the Shang Shui Army has been outnumbered in almost every situation. The veterans of the Shang Shui Army have long been accustomed to it, and only the recruits who have just joined the army have not yet adapted to this atmosphere.

"...Whether it is the state of the battle or the momentum, it is impeccable. Well, let Qin come and see if it is really as shown."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Kai raised his hand and ordered: "Send the order and prepare to attack the city!"

A moment later, the bugle sound representing the attack sounded in his army.

After hearing the bugle, Ma She's Shanggu Army and Le Yi's Beiyan Army moved north on both sides of Julu City, as if preparing to put pressure on the east and west gates of Julu City.

In the southern suburbs of the city, the Yuyang soldiers under Qin Kai also carried long ladders and slowly moved closer to the city.

Also moving at the same time were the crossbowmen on both sides of the infantry phalanx. They followed the infantry's advance step by step, with their crossbows pointed in the direction of Julu City, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

Under this situation, the atmosphere between the Wei and Han armies suddenly became more solemn and tense. However, Qin Kai frowned and looked up at Julu City, only to find that the Wei army on the city was still so calm, at least running back and forth to deploy troops.

At that time, there was no panic at all, as if every Wei soldier clearly understood their responsibilities and the position they held.

"...It seems that he is not pretending to be calm."

Qin Kai, the guard of Yuyang, frowned and suddenly gave the order: "The crossbowmen press forward and release arrows to protect the infantry!"

After the order was issued, the Korean crossbowmen on the left and right wings of the battlefield suddenly accelerated their speed, entered the range of Julu City, and quickly fired a wave of arrows towards the city.

"Huh?"

Zhao Hongrun was slightly startled.

According to common sense, at this time, the siege's infantry should press forward to withstand the rain of arrows from the troops on the city. Then, taking advantage of the gap between the defender's long-range attacks, the siege's crossbowmen quickly pressed forward.

Launching a volley of crossbows at the defenders on the city to suppress them is the normal process of a siege.

But today, he met a Korean general who did the opposite.

As a result, the Wei army was now faced with a question: Should they counterattack the Korean army's crossbowmen phalanx, or should they save their arrows and suppress the infantry that was rapidly approaching the city wall?

Not only Zhao Hongrun, but also Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals also fell into hesitation at that time.

Taking advantage of this hesitation, the Korean crossbowmen quickly loaded the crossbow arrows, so that by the time the Wei soldiers would react, half of the Korean crossbowmen were already preparing to fire the second wave of arrows.

"It's interesting..."

Zhao Hongrun glanced with interest at the banner that read "Han Yuyang Guards Qin" outside the city.

In the past, he was the only one who used tricks to take advantage of the enemy, but today, Yuyang Shouqin made the opening remarks and earned a volley of shots. This is really unprecedented.

However, at this time, Yuyang Guard Qin Kai on the opposite side was also frowning secretly.

Because he discovered that although he earned a volley of shots in his opening remarks, the casualties of the Wei army were almost minimal.

"Heh, it doesn't seem like an army that can be seriously damaged with just a few tricks... I hope our army's casualties in the first battle won't be too great."
