0349: Let You Eat This Loss First.
One p.m.
The heavy snow was still falling one after another, and the sky and the earth could not be distinguished in a vast expanse of whiteness, and the ground was covered with dense snow.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Duke Pan Bo led a large force to the Pingdingshan Fortress, ten days had passed since they set off from the provincial capital of Taijiang.
Everyone looked up at the high Pingdingshan fortress wall, which was twenty or thirty meters high, making them powerless.
"How can we attack such a high city wall?" Marquis Poxiu showed a helpless expression.
"It looks hopeless. The empire has been relying on this fortress to resist the invading enemy. I didn't expect it to be our turn to attack the fortress." The ten counts immediately echoed.
The two princes ignored the snowflakes falling on their bodies, and looked up at the high city wall expressionlessly.
The eldest prince Tyon narrowed his golden eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly.
"Let's go back to the camp. With a gloomy face, Duke Pember was the first to pull the rein and turn around and leave.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
More than half an hour later, the large troops arrived at Tianhu Town and began to rest and adjust.
Inside a small castle in Tianhu Town.
Duke Pember sat on the main seat in the castle hall, and the rest of the nobles sat on both sides.
"Do you have any good suggestions for taking back the Pingdingshan Fortress?" Duke Pember asked in a deep voice.
He subconsciously looked at Qiao Ji, wanting to see if this capable young man would give any good advice.
...." Qiao Ji sensed Duke Pember's eyes, and pretended to frown while thinking.
"Governor, I suggest a strong attack. There are not many green barbarians now."
"Yeah, the enemy's generalissimo is still in our hands, and the green barbarians must be in a mess now.
"My lord, let me lead the knights to drive the green barbarians out of the Golden Eagle Empire.
"Strong attack? Are you kidding me? Pingdingshan Fortress is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack. I think luring them out of the fortress may be successful."
The nobles in the hall began to chatter, their views were nothing more than sneak attacks and strong attacks, and they didn't have much constructive views.
After listening to everyone's words, Qiao Ji remained silent, looking at the nobles who were discussing fiercely with a calm face.
If you can win the Pingdingshan Fortress, this credit will be second only to the first credit, no wonder the nobles are so fierce.
Is he also helpless? Duke Pember saw that Qiao Ji had no intention of speaking, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"Ahem..."
Duke Pember cleared his throat to signal everyone to be quiet, and asked slowly, "Aside from these suggestions, is there anything better?"
He didn't think the proposals made by the nobles were good. If a strong attack was really useful, with the green barbarian's physical fitness and the weapons he possessed, the Pingdingshan Fortress would have lost countless times over the years.
As for the sneak attack and lure, there are only tens of thousands of green barbarians. As long as they are not stupid, they will not choose to go out of the fortress at this time to be attacked by surprise. They will definitely stay behind closed doors and wait for reinforcements.
..." The nobles in the hall slowly quieted down, and after listening to Duke Pember's words, they didn't speak again.
Some people have never participated in wars, and they don't know anything about whether to siege a city or not.
And those nobles with actual combat experience are relatively single-minded, coming and going are just violent attacks and sneak attacks, and there is no better idea.
"My lord governor, let me go." Prince Yin stood up from his seat.
He has been paying attention to Qiao Ji since the beginning of this meeting, and he is relieved to see that the other party has not spoken.
Qiao Ji has already won the first credit, and she absolutely does not want to give up the credit this time.
The eldest prince didn't have the chance to show himself before, so the credit for this time must be firmly in his hands.
The second prince Kao was stunned for a moment, looked at his elder brother with eyes full of scrutiny, thinking, such a thankless thing, this is what elder brother...
He was a little surprised, although taking back the Pingdingshan Fortress was a great achievement, but it was a tough nut to crack.
Moreover, the second prince Kayo didn't think that the green barbarians were desperate now, and the Barbarian Lion Kingdom was planning to invade the Golden Eagle Empire, so it was impossible not to prepare a few treasures.
He planned to let his eldest brother test the waters first, and if the green barbarian really has a back hand, then let the eldest prince suffer the loss.
Qiao Ji has been paying attention to every move of the two princes, when he saw that only the eldest prince stood up and the second prince remained indifferent.
0………… Ask for flowers…
He raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and murmured in his heart, "This second prince is quite forbearing.
Seeing the confident eldest prince, Duke Pan Bo nodded in surprise, and said, "Okay, I will assign 20,000 soldiers to you and attack Pingdingshan Fortress tomorrow.
He originally thought that the two princes would not say anything this time, let alone volunteer to attack Pingdingshan Fortress.
Since the eldest prince Tyon is willing to charge, Duke Pember also intends to let him have a try. It is a good thing if he can capture it. If he can't capture it, he can watch and see what opportunities he has.
"Thank you Governor." The eldest prince Tyon said loudly.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
The meeting ended tomorrow with the eldest prince Tyon leading 20,000 soldiers to attack the Pingdingshan Fortress.
..0.......
Everyone left the castle hall one after another.
The left tower of the castle.
In the room Qiao Ji was assigned to.
Lei Nai pursed his lips and muttered, "My lord, why didn't we fight for it just now? If we can capture the fortress, the lord's contribution will be even greater.
The black cat girl didn't understand, she was obviously a sweetheart, otherwise the eldest prince would not take the initiative to stand up and want to attack the city.
"Hahaha...………"
Qiao Ji smiled heartily, shook her head and said, "Sometimes seeing is not believing.
"Master, is there something different about the siege this time?" Lei Nai blinked his black eyes slowly.
"It is impossible for the Barbarian Kingdom to have no treasures. During the process of recovering the city before us, and when we captured the Generalissimo alive, the green barbarians never used treasures..." 1
Qiao Ji recounted her inner guess, maybe it was in the fortress. "
"No wonder the lord didn't participate, he wanted others to suffer first." Lei Nai patted his smooth forehead in a sudden realization.
"Let's just wait and watch the show. It's the safest time not to fight." Qiao Ji said with a slight smile.
"My lord, I think the second prince didn't compete to go this time, did he guess that too?" Lei Nai asked curiously.
Qiao Ji picked up a cup of warm water and took a sip, then said lightly, "Maybe, there may be other reasons, this second prince is not a simple person."
