The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

But it was not like this now. In attacking a city, not only did they lose nearly 4,000 people, but their siege vehicles were also destroyed. He didn't know how many people the enemy had lost.

In fact, his record was a big defeat. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated and angry he felt. Looking at the wall of Youdu City in front of him, he said "Ashiba" and then roared like crazy!

On the city wall, Niu Wu counted the battle situation and found that more than 200 people were injured on his side, all of whom were injured by bows and arrows. Although they eliminated the enemy's archers.

But some of them were still injured by bows and arrows.

In addition to the more than 200 people who were shot by arrows, there were about 100 people who were injured by the enemy who attacked the city. However, no one died.

Such a result made Niu Wu want to laugh. Nearly 4,000 enemies were killed, but only more than 300 people on his side were injured. Anyone who encountered such a casualty ratio would wake up laughing.

"Your Highness, will Li Suigang really continue to besiege the city? And ask for help?" Niu Wu looked at the Silla people who were withdrawing their troops outside the city and asked Jiang Fan with some confusion.

They acted out a scene according to Jiang Fan's instructions, but they killed too many enemies and destroyed the enemy's siege vehicle at a critical moment. He was afraid that it would scare Li Suigang and make him turn around and run away.

"Yes, although he lost nearly 4,000 people, he should have seen that our soldiers defending the city seemed to collapse several times, and they had several opportunities to attack."

"That's the hope. He won't know that we let them in on purpose. He will just think that our defense collapsed and gave them the opportunity."

"As for blowing up the siege vehicle, he might even think that we used our last secret weapon as a last resort! After all, we used it after the biggest collapse occurred!"

Jiang Fan smiled at the two of them.

As soon as he said this, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng nodded, but there was still worry in their eyes. They were afraid that Li Suigang would find out and run away!

Seeing the two of them like this, Jiang Fan said nothing more and left the city wall. He knew Li Suigang well, and he had information about him.

This man is a vain fool. Fortunately, the people of Silla still think he is the successor of the military god. Even that Li Shunchen is no different from Li Suigang.

The reason they were able to achieve such a record was that they were fighting against the remaining forces of the Northern Barbarians and the newly rising peoples like the Jurchens, and they also had the help of siege vehicles.

Otherwise, with Li Shunchen's ability, he wouldn't have been beaten to death by Guan Yizhi! Li Shunchen seemed to have competed with Guan Yizhi before.

However, Jiang Fan had only heard the information, and there was no way to verify whether it was true or not. But one thing that was certain was that Li Shunchen, the Silla God of War, was just the result of the Silla people's self-satisfaction.

Of course, Li Shunchen's luck also contributed to this. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called the God of War!

After the siege stopped, Li Suigang waited outside the city and did not retreat. He had sent people to ask for help. As long as the siege vehicles and the army arrived, he didn't believe that he couldn't capture a small Youdu Prefecture.

At the same time, not far behind Youdu Prefecture, Chu Chengfeng, the head of the Chu family, was leading an army of 100,000 and rushing towards Youdu Prefecture. His mission was to encircle Li Shunchen's 200,000 troops and annihilate them outside Youdu Prefecture.

A hundred miles behind him was an army of 100,000 led by Ning Pojun. Several tigers from the Chu and Ning families had now become Jiang Fan's capable generals.

In addition to some other generals promoted by Jiang Fan, the people of the Chu family and the Ning family became the most powerful fighting force in Jiang Fan's hands.

Dashi, Liaoxia and Nanyue did not need to send troops to guard the border, so the brothers of the Chu family and the Ning family were free. They came in handy in this expedition to the barbarians.

After receiving the news from Jiang Fan, Chu Chengfeng accelerated his march. He wanted to reach the designated location before dark tomorrow and cut off the enemy's retreat.

Ning Pojun's mission was to surround Li Shun's 200,000 troops from the front, and to ensure that he could mix with Chu Chengfeng from the front and back to keep the 200,000 troops of the Northern Barbarians in Youdu Prefecture.

As for Li Suigang's 100,000 troops, they were handed over to the tens of thousands of troops of Youdu Prefecture. However, Ning Pojun was also responsible for cutting off Li Suigang's retreat.

Li Suigang was still waiting for reinforcements, unaware that an invisible net was covering their 300,000-strong army.

Outside Youdu Prefecture, both sides stopped fighting. Li Suigang waited for two days. From time to time, he came outside the tent and looked at Youdu Prefecture in front of him, but he always sighed in despair.

He had soldiers but no weapons to attack the city, which made him feel unwilling. He had never thought of taking back the damaged siege vehicles and reassembling them.

In Youdu Mansion, Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng would always use telescopes to look at Li Suigang. Although they did not know Li Suigang, they could always see a young man standing in front of the commander-in-chief's tent and sighing.

The generals around him were extremely respectful to him, and they guessed that he should be the so-called successor to the God of War of Silla. Such a person was actually called the successor to the God of War.

"Your Highness, this guy is too useless..." Niu Wu said sarcastically while looking forward through the telescope.

“Yeah, this guy doesn’t know how to attack the city without a siege vehicle... He doesn’t even think of some corresponding measures and methods. It’s like he doesn’t know how to fight a war without a weapon. It’s a pity that Silla still calls him the successor to the God of War. That’s it…”

Zhou Zheng also had a look of disdain and ridicule on his face. As for the remaining generals around him, they also followed suit and laughed at him.

Jiang Fan put down the telescope and smiled faintly. As expected, just as the intelligence said, the successor to the god of war was nothing but an arrogant and conceited waste.

Although the siege army was destroyed, didn't he know how to think of another way, or summarize the battlefield experience and review the situation? ! He just sighed and groaned, and the whole camp was dead and the morale was low! ?

During the two days, this guy did almost nothing, not even training the soldiers. Apart from sighing and roaring in frustration outside the tent, he did nothing!

After calculating the time, Jiang Fan's eyes sparkled. Chu Chengfeng should have already reached the back of the army, and Ning Potian's army should have almost arrived. Under the forced march, it was definitely easy for the army to travel more than 200 miles.

Of course, if it's loaded, it might be a little slower, but it should be almost in place.

They only need to wait one more day before they can launch a counterattack. They are just waiting for the signal from the front.

Time passed little by little, and a night passed, and nothing seemed to have changed. But Jiang Fan knew that the army was probably already in place.
