Chapter 579 The New Way
"You are right. However, I just learned that the city of Koum is a holy place of the Tianfang Sect, and there is the tomb of Fatumai in the city. If you attack this city first, many Tianfang Sects will fight back at all costs. Our army can turn against each other, wait for the big cannibals to hit the head and burst into blood, easily defeat the big cannibals, capture Isfahan, capture or expel Qibo Silin again." Li Gong said.
"Your Highness, do you know how many guards there are in the city of Coom at this time?" Hearing these words, Kuth Old Sassan paused and asked back.
"I don't know yet. Although I sent a horse to visit before, the horse could not enter the city, and even could not approach the city walls. The defenders could not detect it at all. It could only be seen that the defenses of Kum and Tehran were both tight, at least on the surface.
Can you find out how many soldiers there are in the city?" Li Gong suddenly thought of it again and said to Kuss Sassan again.
"Your Highness respects me so much." Kuss-Old Sasan said with a wry smile: "Before leaving, I told you that the country established by my ancestors has been destroyed for a hundred years. Except for some more shame in the land of Khorasan, it has no effect on other places. Even if there are still people who do not believe in the Tianfang Sect in these two cities, they have no contact with the Sasanian family."
"Then, what do you mean is to send someone to contact those in these two cities who still do not believe in the Tianfang Sect?"
"Your Highness, I did not mean this." Kussan Sassan said hurriedly: "Our army has no contact with the local people. It is very difficult to find such a person suddenly. It is not possible to contact him in just a few days or even dozens of days. The distance water cannot quench his near thirst."
"What do you mean?"
"My thought is that since Koum City is a holy land of the Tianfang Sect, and Bethellin knew that our army was about to come, and he also understood that if our army captured Koum City, it would be bad, so how could he not send more troops to guard against it?"
"You," Li Gong was stunned when he heard this and continued, "What you said was that he was negligent." As he said, he glanced at Liu Qi again.
Liu Qi was also stunned for a moment, then thought to himself: "I didn't expect this! Could it be that because the battle went very smoothly, he looked down on Bingbo Silin?
If you have no choice, you must be alert. Although the Dashi Army is no longer as powerful as our army, you cannot regard the enemy as nothing.'
"In this way, you should attack Tehran City first?" Li Gong saw that Liu Qi seemed to be thinking about things, and did not respond to his eyes. He no longer looked at him, and said to Kuss Old Sassan.
"Of course my idea is to attack Tehran City."
"This," Li Gong wanted to attack Tehran first, but because of his inadequate consideration, he felt that there might be problems that they did not expect from attacking Tehran first, so he did not dare to say it easily.
"If Your Highness has nothing else, I will sue you first." Kussan Sassan waited for a while, but did not hear Li Gong speak, and said with a salute.
‘You go back.’ Li Gong was a little confused at this time and didn’t want to keep him, so he was about to say this.
"General Sassanid, I have a question, please ask the general to answer." But before he spoke, Liu Qi asked first.
"Please tell me. If I know, I will definitely answer." Kuss-Old Sassanne said. Although he was not in the way with Liu Qi, he could still talk about business.
"General Sassanthes, although according to the horse-study report, the gates of these two cities are closed, and it is difficult for our army to find out how many soldiers were stationed in the city at this time, but how many people in the city should know that there are always farmers who have not been searched into the city. Can you ask these people, right?"
"What the lieutenant said."
"If the enemy soldiers defend the city, they can pull the young and powerful among the people to the top of the city, so it is not important to have many soldiers stationed. As long as you know how many people there are, you can understand whether the city is easy to capture. And the generals who guard the city also understand this, right?"
"The Lieutenant wants to say that more people guarding the city will relax their vigilance?" Kussan Sassan asked back, and said without waiting for Liu Qi to answer: "I don't agree with the lieutenant's idea. I have experienced the loss of Mulu City, how could the remaining generals of the big food market still be careless?"
"General Sassanthesanite misunderstood. I didn't mean that." Liu Qi continued after he finished speaking: "What I mean is that the generals of the city with many people in the city are even more unwilling to lead troops out of the city. It is possible that we can sit and watch our army camp outside the city."
"The guards of these two cities dare not leave the city when facing the Anxi army, they only dare to defend the city."
"The general's words are too cruel to our army. In fact, if there are mountains and rivers, you can ambush them with the terrain, and the big food soldiers will still dare to go out of the city to fight."
After Liu Qi said this, he stopped fighting with him and said directly: "No matter what, the enemy soldiers will sit down and watch our army set up camp outside the city without stopping, and just want to defend the city. In this way, our army can calmly arrange the city outside the city and attack the city."
"Please forgive me for not understanding it yet. Even if I can arrange it calmly, can I definitely capture the city?" Kussan Sassan said, suddenly his face changed, and he asked again: "Do you have another new way to siege the city?"
"I do have an unused siege method." Liu Qi nodded and confirmed Kuss-Old Sassan's guess.
"I'm not sure whether this kind of siege can be achieved."
