Chapter 120 Battle of Taizhou 5
Gu Bai was in a good mood. After the Taizhou defense war started, Gu Bai had been commanding on the city wall. Although he suffered more than 200 casualties in the first battle, he finally won the victory. When the rebel retreated like a tide, he was cheering everywhere, and Gu Bai also relaxed the sword in his hand and smiled.
Although the battle did not last long, the battle between the two sides was very fierce. Ningbo lost more than 600 people and Taizhou suffered more than 200 casualties. But for Gu Bai, this was a good start. The damage to the war was still within the scope of his endurance. What's more important is that after this battle, the young and strong men he recruited had no fear and anxiety before the war started. Instead, they were more calm and persevering. The speed of the war training soldiers was very fast, which also strengthened Gu Bai's courage to defend Taizhou.
Unfortunately, since this battle, the thieves outside the city have changed their methods and no longer need to attack the first time the war begins. The thieves first surrounded the city, and were not surprised by Gu Bai. In his opinion, even if Taizhou City was surrounded, there would be no shortage of water and rice in the city, which could last for several months. However, in addition to besieging the city, the thieves also built soil and dug tunnels outside the city, and even if they attacked the city, they would behave like it. As soon as the defenders appeared in the city, the cannons and bows arranged outside the city opened fire. As soon as the casualties of the defenders began to gradually increase.
Gu Bai immediately felt something was wrong. These thieves could not attack directly. If this continues, the morale that had just been raised will inevitably be depressed. But if certain soldiers are not stationed at the city, once the thieves outside the city suddenly start attacking, they will be occupied by the thieves.
Faced with this situation, Gu Bai racked his brains to think of a solution. Unfortunately, compared with the thief outside the city, Taizhou City does not have many means. If there are cannons defending the city at the top of Taizhou City, Gu Bai would not have to worry about these things.
"Qingshan, this thief is like this, Taizhou City..." Cao Chong asked worriedly. Although he was ready to die for his country, people were afraid of death. If he could defend Taizhou, who would be willing to die? On the first day of the war in Taizhou, when the news of the thief came, Cao Chong was ecstatic, but not long after, with the adjustment of the thief outside the city, bad news continued to come, which made Cao Chong feel excited.
"Sir, please rest assured. The students have asked the soldiers in the city to leave only some of the personnel to monitor. The main force is hidden behind the city tower to avoid fearless damage. As for the thief who wanted to dig tunnels to break the city by digging a tunnel, it was simply a whim. Our Taizhou city was built in the Song Dynasty and was constantly resting for several dynasties. The city foundation was extremely solid and could not be opened at all. As for other things, students already have a way." Gu Bai replied confidently.
"That's good, that's good..." Cao Chong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and his expression relaxed.
But Gu Bai knew in his heart that although he had indeed adjusted the layout of the city and arranged some precautions, there was no good way to play the thieves outside the city. The reason for saying this is that Gu Bai just wants to be lenient.
