Chapter 008: The Strategy of the Skinning Prison

Wei Jingdao: "To the generals, the words of the generals are also the thoughts of the lower-ranking officers. This moment is indeed the best opportunity for a siege. If we wait for the Zhao army to consolidate their morale and reorganize, even with an army of 50,000, it would be difficult for us to capture the city within ten days. Therefore, attacking the city now is both a strategy for siege and for winning hearts."

Su Jie : `` ... ... ''

As dawn breaks, this place has already become a hell on earth; even seasoned veterans, who have long endured the battlefield, cannot help but feel an inexplicable sense of dread

Time celestial phenomenon great migration! Cooldown period of one month? Can... um? ...

Wang Jian and Wang Ben also nodded in agreement, at this moment, the opportunity to attack the city and breach its defenses is extremely high

The system, the system, the task has been completed

"Elder brother, why are you laughing!" Wang Ben saw Su Jie suddenly burst into laughter, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Upon hearing this, Wang He seemed to have guessed Su Jie’s intention, which was that while attacking the city at this moment was feasible, there might be a better approach.

It is so ... ...

There is no need for excessive courtesy, please rise quickly. Wang He swiftly stepped forward to assist Su Jie in getting up

The crow's nest is empty, thirty miles have turned into nothingness

Wang He and Wei Jing brought Su Jie and others to the central military camp. At this moment, no general dared to suppress them by virtue of their status, claiming that Su Jie was speaking nonsense.

Su Jie, I did not heed your advice yesterday, which is indeed my fault. Fortunately, you were able to compensate for my mistake, thus preventing a total defeat of our army. On behalf of all the soldiers, I express my heartfelt gratitude to General Su for your great kindness. All commanders, please join me in paying our respects.

Yesterday, Su Jie confirmed in person that Zhao Jun would definitely launch a night raid, with no one daring to support him. Unexpectedly, within just one night, not only was Su Jie's prediction accurate, but he also single-handedly set fire to twenty thousand troops with five hundred soldiers.

Upon hearing Wei Jing's words, the other generals responded one after another

Zhao Jun has been extinguished, and our most important task at the moment is to control the fire to prevent a larger wildfire from occurring. Su Jie’s voice awakened Wang Jian from his shock

... ...

Su Jie turned around and saw that Generals Wang He and others had faces flushed with excitement, their eyes sparkling with brilliance, unable to conceal their admiration.

System, did you mean to say that the conquest of Shangdang County took three days? Are you mistaken?

Su Jie smiled gently and said, "What the general has said is indeed correct, but I believe the general should also be aware that even if we can capture the prison, there will be very few of the thirty thousand troops left, right"

Wang He cast his gaze over and asked, "What does Su Baijiang think?"

Um ... ... ?

The gaze of the generals converged once again

Congratulations to the host, you have acquired the skill: Time Astrological Translocation

Nuo... Wang Jian, as one of the five hundred leaders, surprisingly did not consciously respond to the lower officials.

Including Wang He, his expression brightened: "Could it be that General Su has another good plan? Could you share it?"

... ...

Su Jie did not respond directly, but asked: "Generals, at this moment, attacking the city is indeed a favorable opportunity. Our army has achieved a great victory, while the enemy has suffered a significant defeat. Taking advantage of this moment to launch an offensive is a wise strategy. However, my experience in commanding troops is still limited, and I would like to inquire: if the Zhao army knows they are doomed and rises up to resist, how long will it take for our army to capture the city?"

Of course, open!

Su Jie stood up and said: "General, I have a clever strategy that may only require 5,000 troops. If all goes well, we could help you break the prison by tomorrow."

According to the laws of the Qin dynasty, this would at least require a promotion to the rank of a nobleman.

Even though Wang Jian had been in the military for many years, the scene before him was still profoundly shocking. However, what caught his attention even more at this moment was Su Jie’s scheme, which was truly unfathomable, perhaps even surpassing that of Bai Qi.

As the sun rose, Su Jie stood atop the mountain, eyes closed in deep contemplation

Seeing Su Jie speak appropriately, and not being arrogant or self-important despite such great military achievements, he is indeed capable of maintaining decorum; he is a talent in military leadership

Su Jie took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement! He forced a smile that felt unnatural.

Wang He laughed heartily and said: "Last night's battle was crucial to the life and death of our army, and it is a great achievement. Such a significant victory, I will certainly report to the king and request rewards for the troops. Please rest assured, General Su."

Oh, what should I do about this

General Wei's words are indeed true! The commanders and generals are wise!

Su Jie felt unworthy of such a bow and quickly returned the gesture, saying: "The generals and commanders must not perform such a grand courtesy. I, Su Jie, feel ashamed to receive it. If it were not for the combined efforts of all the generals, this great fire would have also affected our army. This victory is due to the commanders' wise leadership and the unity of our troops, not the achievement of any single individual. At present, the city of Shangdang has not yet fallen, and we should work together with one heart to capture the city together."

This ... ...

Wang He and a group of generals, after a night of strenuous efforts, have now dispatched tens of thousands of troops to control the fire. Although they are physically and mentally exhausted, the faces of the generals are predominantly filled with excitement. This battle has severely weakened the defending forces of Shangdang County. Although they missed the optimal opportunity to breach the city as mentioned by Su Jie, the Qin army has now killed over 20,000 Zhao troops without losing a single soldier. Such a significant victory has not been seen in ten years, and it is likely that in the hearts of everyone, the capture of Shangdang County is already within reach.

A doctor at the age of eighteen, never before seen in the history of the Qin dynasty for hundreds of years

Wang He stroked his beard and said: "If we attack the city tomorrow, even if the Zhao army resists fiercely, this commander estimates that with 30,000 troops, we will surely capture Shangdang Pilao within ten days."

Wang He specifically reserved a seat for Su Jie. Although Wang Jian and Wang Ben were positioned behind Su Jie, after the events of last night, these two had also achieved tremendous merit. Such individuals could no longer be underestimated by the other generals

Until this moment, all the generals seemed to be in a dream

Task Release: The host is requested to conquer Shangdang County within three days, with a reward of 3000 time points and a mysterious gift package.

What is exchanged is a silent silence

The great fire rapidly spread and, in the blink of an eye, engulfed twenty thousand Zhao troops. In just one hour, the wails of despair abruptly ceased, leaving behind a vast ocean of flames before Su Jie and the others.

... ...

Ding Dong: Congratulations to the host for completing the temporary task of repelling the Zhao army's surprise attack. A time-space gift package has been sent. Would you like to open it?

Wang Ben had already stood behind Su Jie, poking him in the lower back with his hand

In an instant, the entire central army camp fell silent! Only the sound of heavy breathing echoed.

Such a great victory, our army is already assured of success, how can we not rejoice

Task failed: Randomly deduct one time skill from the host, reducing the time reversal by half

"Let’s first take a look at this skill and see what help it can provide!" Su Jie muttered to himself

Wang He spoke first: "Generals, the Shangdang Commandery launched a night raid on our army's camp last night, but fortunately, it was uncovered by General Su, who dealt a great defeat to the Zhao army. Now, the morale in the Shangdang Commandery city is surely shaken. Although we have missed the best opportunity to breach the city, if our army launches a strong attack at this moment, we will undoubtedly reap rewards. I have decided to attack the city tomorrow. What good strategies do the generals have?"

Su Jie (Wang Ben), pay respects to the generals!" The two clasped their hands and bowed.

Only then did Su Jie come to his senses

Oh, hmm? The general has arrived
