Chapter 161 - No Sheathing the Sword for Ten Days_1

Chapter 161

The king of Youzhou gave Qi Deqiang a military order to break into Frog Fort and decapitate Cheng Dalei within three days. Qi Deqiang took… ten days.

Ten days, in which he did not confront Cheng Dalei once.

Cheng Dalei's strategy was identical to that of Xue Banchuan, encompassed in two words: Do not fight.

No matter the external ruckus, illusionary retreats, feigned weaknesses luring enemies, Cheng Dalei remained steadfast and did not venture out, and he resolutely remained uninvolved with night raids.

In dense forests, large siege machinery like catapults couldn't be used effectively. The gates of the Frog Fort were too small, and Qi Deqiang, having brought 10,000 men, could only deploy a few thousand truly useful soldiers each time he laid siege.

A few thousand men could not take the Frog Fort.

In times of truce between the two armies, Cheng Dalei would stand at the city gate, shouting at Qi Deqiang.
