After two days of attacks, Zhao Jing had also learned how formidable Li Shuangning's defensive Turtle Formation was. Of course, this Turtle Formation was not simply about defense. After all, a turtle that did not move was a dead turtle. What was more, Li Shuangning's turtle actually had multiple heads. Thus, Zhao Jing's attacks gained no advantage at the start. Whenever he attacked one place, it was like restraining one of the turtle's heads, and another head would immediately rush out to bite him. This forced Zhao Jing to divide his forces and attack from multiple directions.
Of course, Zhao Jing was no fool. He soon found the key approach: harassing the enemy. He divided his forces into dozens of groups, each sharpening its blades and acting as though it had been injected with chicken blood. They adopted the strategy of retreating when the enemy advanced and harassing them when they withdrew. On top of that, one or two forces genuinely brought armies armed with blades. The moment the enemy dared to charge out, it would become a beheading spectacle.
Thus, no matter how many heads this turtle had, it was still a single defensive perimeter. A turtle capable of attacking was certainly frightening, but if it had the bad luck to run into a blade, it might well become a headless turtle.
Moreover, this time Zhao Jing was facing a slow-paced opponent. While adopting harassment tactics, he also seemed to be sowing discord within the enemy ranks. This multi-pronged approach specifically targeted the sluggish transmission of intelligence caused by the opponent's defensive posture.
Once the inside was no longer united, gaps and coordination problems appeared. Thus, Zhao Jing's methods had reached the limit of what most military strategists could accomplish. They also indirectly restricted the opponent's economic development.
However,
