Chapter 2571 (1/2)
The first siege of the underworld failed, and more than 10000 underworld soldiers were lost.
Compared with their 150000 troops, the more than 10000 underworld soldiers only lost a little. However, the defeat of this siege greatly hit the morale of their underworld army.
”Dudu, I have already said that since wulaishan can occupy Taiyin City, their strength is not so simple. Don't underestimate them.” At this time, the deputy governor was not in the mood to attack the governor, but he had to remind him again to wake him up.
”According to the meaning of the deputy governor, should I use 150000 troops to attack a north gate? The governor can't afford to lose that face! ” Although the governor is very regretful, he is not willing to show it.
”Although we don't need to use all our forces to attack the city, we need at least 50000 troops to ensure that we can successfully attack the north gate!” Said the deputy governor.
Because there are only 70000 troops in Taiyin, but he can be sure that not all of them are in the north gate.
Therefore, even if they deploy their main forces at the north gate, they will never exceed 50000. Now they use 50000 Ming soldiers to attack the city. It's enough. It's absolutely impossible for them to have such a tragic situation as just now.
”Fifty thousand? Are you sure 50000 will take the north gate? ” The governor looked at the deputy governor with some doubts.
After all, Wu Laishan's performance just now really shocked him. He really underestimated Wu Laishan's strength, so now he doesn't believe his judgment.
If they fail again this time, their morale will be lower, and even his prestige in this army will be reduced.
”There are only 70000 troops in the city. They can't put all the 70000 troops in the north gate. There must be guards in the other three gates. Therefore, it's enough to attack the north gate with 50000 Ming soldiers. If there's more, it's a bit of icing on the cake. ” The deputy governor said confidently.
Siege is not that the more troops the better. It would be beneath our dignity to use all the troops in the first place. What's more, the underworld is in charge of the underworld. If you beat down a small north gate of Taiyin City, it would be a shame.
So, fifty thousand is not much, but according to his guess about the distribution of wulaishan troops in Taiyin City, it is enough to win the north gate.
”Good! Since the deputy governor is so confident, this time I will rely on him! ” This time, the governor did not change tune with the deputy governor, but he agreed very readily.
Because he felt that the proposal this time was put forward by the deputy governor, so if the siege really failed, he also had an excuse to blame all the mistakes on the deputy governor.
Soon, fifty thousand Ming soldiers were arranged again. However, this time, the governor did not use the ghost master to lead the army, but replaced another ghost master.
The attack of 50000 Ming soldiers was obviously more cautious. Even when they were close to the north gate, they didn't rush to the tower immediately.
Under the command of guizundutong, they first concentrated all their forces to attack the city gate. However, at this time the gate is very firm, even if there are a large number of Ming soldiers in constant attack, also did not be able to break the north gate like this.
