"Report to General, the temperature in the city has dropped, and you can send troops in." The soldier who had been guarding the south gate of Yuluzhou City to pay attention to the changes in the city quickly ran to Naser and said loudly as he ran.

"Transfer our military orders and the whole army enters Yuluzhou City!" Nasser shouted loudly.

"Yes!" The soldiers agreed and walked towards the city in unison.

"I don't know what tricks that Qin would arrange to deal with our army." Saleh said, looking at the soldiers walking towards the city.

"What other tricks can they do?" Hou Meide said: "Everything that can burn in the city has disappeared, leaving only solid houses and courtyard walls made of bricks and stones, and many tunnels can no longer be used. From today on, the two armies will only have head-on battles. The Qin man can still use tunnels to mobilize troops, but the impact on the situation will not be great."

"I don't think so." Saleh said with a smile: "The Qin army was burned to death by at least a thousand soldiers, and the vast majority of generals and soldiers must want to take revenge again; Li Gong, the highest commander of Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, was an impatient person based on the analysis of the data. They would definitely set up all kinds of tricks to try to burn our army."

"Then let's wait and see which of us guesses is more accurate." Hou Meide said this with a smile.

...

"Soldiers, be careful when entering. If Qin can enter this city before us, he may ambush." ​​At this time, Nasser had already led the soldiers to the city gate, and he shouted.

"Yes." The one hundred soldiers who were selected to enter Yuluzhou City were neatly dressed, holding shields in their left hand and spear in their right hand, and agreed loudly, walking towards the city; Nasser led the other five hundred soldiers wearing armor to stare at them.

One hundred soldiers had just crossed the city gate and an arrow shot towards them. This was not beyond their expectations. All the soldiers slowed down their walking speed and blocked their faces with shields. Only the sound of "clang" and "clang" sounded, and many arrows shot on the soldiers, but they could not penetrate the armor and shields. One hundred soldiers were unscathed.

The man Qin did not shoot too many arrows, and the sound of weapons colliding quickly disappeared. The centurion led by the leader lowered the height of the shield and looked around. He did not find any Qin soldiers. He immediately pointed to the direction where the arrow was shooting just now and said, "Attack there!"

"Run!" the soldier shouted and rushed over there. They were all very strong people carefully selected, and they could walk as fast as they could even wear heavy armor.

The place where Qin soldiers were ambushing was very close to the city gate, and they ran over quickly. The ambushing soldier seemed a little panicked, and turned around and ran back with a crossbow in his hand; the Dashi soldier raised the spear in his hand and threw it hard, stabbing five people. One of them was stabbed and suddenly became limping.

The Dashi Hundreds Team arrived at the place where Qin's ambush was just now. The soldiers looked at the things that Qin's soldiers left behind, picked up the valuable ones, and continued to pursue them.

But this time he was stopped by the centurion.

"Centurion, why don't you continue chasing? At least the person with a leg injury will definitely be chased and killed by us." A soldier asked in confusion.

"Look at this road, are there a lot of thatch?" said the centurion.

“There is indeed thatch.”

"If you smell it again, can you smell a smell of oil?" said the centurion again.

“There is indeed a scent of oil.”

"That's right. This should be the plan of the general Qin." The centurion said: "The Qin man first arranged archers to shoot archers. It would be great if he could hurt our soldiers. If he could not hurt, he could lure the enemy. He lure our soldiers to a place covered with thatch and sprinkle oil. If he was deceived, he could burn our soldiers and avenge their soldiers for being burned to death."

"Amar, hurry up and tell General Nasser about this situation, and I will lead the others to continue to move into the city." The centurion ordered again.

"Yes." Amar agreed and turned around and walked towards the city gate; the centurion led the other soldiers to continue.

Hearing Amar's report, Nasser smiled and said, "The Qin man's plan has been discovered, and the city gate is no longer dangerous." Then he personally led the five hundred soldiers into the city gate, and divided them into five branches and walked towards the city along different roads; other soldiers also followed behind and entered the city, occupying every yard and every house he saw.

The centurion soon led his troops to another house. The centurion did not find anyone stationed, but a smell of oil came from the yard. He suspected that Qin Najun left one person as a dead soldier, and once they entered the yard, they ignited the oil and died together, so he only sent one person to walk in through the main entrance and explore the yard.

But unexpectedly, although the yard was indeed splashed with oil, there was no one. The soldiers sent repeatedly searched and no one saw anyone; the centurion sent ten people in and no one lit the fuel.

The centurion was very surprised by this, leaving a soldier to garrison and lead the others to continue walking towards the city.

He led his troops through several streets covered with thatch or smelled oily. In order to avoid ambushing the Qin soldiers, he bypassed these roads.

The Hundreds walked for a while, and the figure of Qin's soldier appeared in the courtyard he encountered. He did not rashly attack the courtyard, but continued to walk along the road to the city. The Qin's soldier did not attack them, and even if the figure of Qin's soldier flashed from time to time on the courtyard wall, no one attacked them.

They walked through several streets and suddenly found that Qin soldiers were stationed in all the yards here. The centurion immediately led his troops to retreat, but Qin soldiers, who had not launched an attack when he came over, suddenly attacked with bows, arrows, spears and even stones; some people stood in the middle of the street to block them.

"Run!" the centurion shouted, rushed over first, fighting with Qin's soldiers, and the soldiers immediately followed. Qin's man did not expect that he would retreat so resolutely, and was rushed away and allowed the Dashi soldiers to escape.

After breaking away from the Qin man's encirclement, he chose a yard that had not been occupied yet, and sent a signal to the back to ask for support. After a while, reinforcements arrived. He handed over the yard to reinforcements and took his troops back to report to Nasser.

On the way back, he saw that many empty yards had been occupied by his own army, but there were also yards occupied by the Qin man; from time to time, he could see his own soldiers besieging the Qin man's yard.

"Okay, Os, you did a good job." As soon as you saw the centurion, Nasser praised: "You and several other exploring 100-man teams fully explored the control of Qin's army and occupied another yard. I will make a lot of contribution. I will immediately ask the Governor for you."

"General, I don't think something is right." Centurion Os said.

"What's wrong?" Nasser asked.

"General, the Qin man was able to ambush a group of archers near the city gate and sprinkle oil on several roads, which proves that they entered the city earlier than our army. But why didn't they use this time to occupy more houses? Not to mention anything else, the ambushed archers can at least occupy a house. I think Qin man's approach is very strange." Os said.

"Indeed," Nasser thought about it and found it strange. But he couldn't think of the reason, and was unwilling to show his timidity in front of his subordinates, and waved his hand and said:

"This is not what you should think. Go back and rest quickly. Today our army mainly consolidates the house yard that has been controlled, and tomorrow we will officially launch an attack on the house yard that Qin people control. You and your subordinates have more opportunities to make contributions. You should retreat."

"Yes." Os agreed and turned around and left.

Nasser continued to command. Soon, all the houses and yards of the entire city that were still standing on the ground were occupied by the armies of the two countries. He sent reinforcements or dispatched troops to serve as reserves based on the number of soldiers in each place.

After completing the arrangement, it was already noon. Nasser felt that Bingbosilin should have gotten up and decided to return to the camp to report to the governor, and at the same time he also asked for questions that he could not understand.

But unexpectedly, he walked into the command center and saw that there were only two people, Saleh and Houmede and their subordinate generals. The two were asking their subordinate generals to prepare for the war at any time, and immediately enter the city to fight once they received the order.

"Hello General Saleh, hello General Houmede, may the Lord give you peace." Nasser said to the two of them.

"May the Lord give you peace. The Governor is still sleeping, and the guards say no one is allowed to disturb you." Saleh said.

"Oh." Nasser felt a little disappointed. But he quickly recovered and said, "General Saleh, General Houmede, can I ask you a question?"

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Ziad." Saleh smiled and said, "You ask, as long as I can answer, I will definitely answer."

"You ask." Houmeide also said.

"Thank you." Nasser first expressed his gratitude, and then asked the question Os asked him.

Hearing his words, Saleh was about to figure out the reason and was about to answer; but before he could say something, he thought of something and his face became ugly.

Nasser was about to ask, and Houmede also wanted to understand the reason and explained it. Nasser no longer paid attention to Saleh.

"Because it is possible to block you, other troops can occupy more yards. General Qin inferred that our army would first send a few elite soldiers into the city to investigate, and then lead the army into the city after confirming that there is no problem."

"Every minute that we blocked our soldiers, we could make the army enter the city one minute late, and we could make our soldiers occupy the yard of the house even later. The time difference that was dragged out would make the Qin man occupy more yards."

"So that's it. Thank you very much. If Said hadn't helped to solve the doubts, I would have been unable to figure out the reason." Nasser thanked.

"No need to thank you." Hou Meide smiled and said, "After I become wise, I am willing to solve my doubts for others."

"Haha!" Hearing this, Nasser couldn't help laughing, chatting and laughing with him for a few more words before leaving the command center.

But just as Nasser left the command center, Houmede pushed Saleh and asked him: "What did you think of from Nasser's question? His face became so ugly?"

"I thought of something very terrible," Saleh said.

"What's the matter? Did I get a wrong explanation to Nasser just now?" Houmede asked.

"Your explanation of Nasser just now is not wrong, it is very correct. But what I think of is very terrible."

Saleh slowly explained. "You also know the process of Nasser leading his troops into the city this time and the strategy used by the Qin man."

"I know," Hou Meide said: "I'm wrong in guessing. The Qin man used a strategy to deal with our army, you guessed it right." But he said with some dissatisfaction: "The Qin man used only small strategies, not the strategies that threatened our army a few days before the street fighting. The small strategies they used this time were not very affected."

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Salih said: "The Qin man seemed to have given up using strategies, or thought that using strategies was of no use to defeat our army, and he would fight our army head-on."

"Isn't this a good thing? What should I worry about?" Hou Meide interrupted.

"But they used small strategies to delay time and occupy more houses. This shows that the Qin man is completely prepared to compete with our army on a street, a house or a yard."

"Most of our soldiers are still immersed in the plan to prevent the Qin people, and have not completely changed to a head-on battle. In this way, our army will suffer losses after the war officially begins."

"There is another point." Saleh continued: "The Qin man should be very clear that it is impossible for them to stop our army from occupying the city of Luzhou with their current troops. They need reinforcements or give up this city."

"They did not give up on Luzhou City, which means there were reinforcements, but they had not arrived to support them yet. But it has been more than ten days since our army officially launched the siege and reinforcements have arrived long ago."

"This shows that Qin's reinforcements cannot come here now. There are two situations. First, the reinforcements are still being trained and can only be supported after they are finished; second, the reinforcements they are waiting for are local troops. Qin's central government has made significant progress in suppressing rebellions in the Central Plains, and can draw troops to Anxi for support within one year."

"So we must seize the city of Luzhou as soon as possible!" Houmeide shouted loudly at this time: "After carefully inspecting Nasser's defeated camp, I realized that the combat effectiveness of Qin's army was getting stronger and stronger, and we must defeat them as quickly as possible! Eliminate the army composed of once captured personnel!"

‘The process of reaching the conclusion seems different from mine.’ Saleh thought to himself, but said:

"Yes, no matter which situation, it means that the more time goes on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army and the more beneficial it will be for the Qin people. You must seize the city as soon as possible! Even if the entire army here is wiped out at this time, you must seize the city as quickly as possible!"

"I will go to the governor's tent immediately and report it immediately after he wakes up." Saleh said this and turned around and left the command center. Houmede hesitated a little. His thoughts were not exactly the same as Saleh; but he followed him out in the end.
Chapter completed!
