Chapter 938 - Invulnerable

However, even the retreat is not so smooth, after all, large equipment such as catapult crossbows are more time-consuming and laborious to deploy, and the retreat cannot be done overnight. βˆŸβ˜…ε…«βˆŸβ˜…ε…«βˆŸβ˜… Reading∟ β˜… book, .2▲》

Just as Sima Jun was messily packing up the catapults and bed crossbows and preparing to move them out of the range of the opponent's catapults, the stone bullets of the Bingzhou army never stopped, especially when they saw that Sima Jun was preparing to retreat, they fought more happily, and the frequency of the catapults was further increased, and the stone bullets continued to fall on Sima Jun's position, and many catapults and bed crossbows were destroyed.

Even if they can't hit the car, it is easy to hit people, Sima Jun's catapults are really very hard, in order to ensure that these catapults are not destroyed, they risk their heads blooming, and they snatch food, and rescue the remaining intact catapults and bed crossbows.

But it was really not an easy task to snatch food, at this time, the state army accelerated the frequency of catapult attacks, more stone bullets flew in the air, and many Sima soldiers were buried under the attack of stone bullets.

The large number of casualties also delayed the evacuation of the catapult and the bed crossbow, and when Sima Jun was in a panic and moved the catapult and bed crossbow to a safe place in Sima Jun's array, a number of catapults and bed crossbows were destroyed, and the whole catapult contest ended in the defeat of Sima Jun.

Just like yesterday, after the catapult attack failed, Sima Jun immediately moved into the ant-attached siege.

Only the two arrow towers were secretly destroyed, and the impact on the defense of the Bingzhou army was not too great, the most important thing was that the Sima army's stepping arrows failed to form an effective effect, that is to say, the Sima army wanted to attack the city, and the only reliance was the ladder, but due to the continuous use of fire oil by the Bingzhou army, the damage rate of the ladder of the Sima army was quite high, and the Sima army wanted to maintain that kind of continuous offensive, and it was necessary to have a guarantee on the equipment for climbing the city. 9 8 9 8 9 Read] 9 Books, .2 ≧ β†—

However, today's attack seems to be smoother than yesterday's, at least there is no need to spend a lot of manpower and time to fill the moat, from Sima Jun's camp to Jiexiu City, it is completely a flat river, and Sima Jun only needs to focus on attacking the city.

And knowing the fact that Jiexiu has an urn city, Sima Jun also gave up the plan to attack the city gate, and yesterday's battle lost thousands of people, which undoubtedly became Sima Jun's deepest pain.

Originally, one of the weakest links in the city's defense was the city gate, once the city gate was lost and the enemy army drove into the city, then all the previous efforts on the city wall were in vain.

The construction of such an urn city now is tantamount to adding a defense to the weak point of the city, making the enemy's attempt to break through the gates meaningless, unless they can break through two gates in a row.

Breaking through the two city gates in a row, under the current combat conditions, is almost impossible, not to mention that it is difficult for huge siege vehicles to pass through the narrow city gate road, even if you enter the urn city, the enemy on three sides, this is probably no army can afford it, entering the urn city, it is equivalent to entering the pocket formation of people, yesterday's battle proved that falling into the urn city, the chance of survival is zero.

Therefore, this method of siege was also abandoned by Sima Jun, and now only the most monotonous siege method of siege is left.

Sima Yi was not interested in continuing to watch the battle, originally Sima Yi's trip was only disguised to hide his identity, and the command of the entire siege was still in the hands of Chen Qian and Sima Shi, and Sima Yi was only making some suggestions at most.

This kind of most simple and crude ant siege, Sima Yi has no need to stay, he has been fighting for many years, attacking countless cities, naturally it is very clear that it is difficult to break through the city with ants in one or two times, this way of attacking the city itself is to use human resources to consume the opponent's defensive strength, and constantly weaken the other party in the process of eliminating the other's strength, and finally it is possible to take the city.

This kind of process is as short as ten days and a half months, and as long as a year and a half, only through quantitative change can the effect of qualitative change be achieved, and the long process, Sima Yi naturally does not have the physical strength and energy to guard, so it can only be handed over to Chen Qian Sima Shi and these young people.

Chen Qian and Huai Ma Shi worked very hard, they personally commanded the battle on the front line, urging Sima Jun to constantly launch attacks, trying to find the gap in Jiexiu and open the door to victory.

But it is a pity that the defense of Jiexiu City is almost invulnerable, even if Chen Qian and Sima Shi have tried their best, they can't break through this impregnable defense line, and the entire Jiexiu city is a mountain of corpses and a river of blood, but Chen Qian and Sima Shi are at a loss, and they have never been able to come up with an effective way to break through the city.

Jiexiu's siege war seems to have reached a stalemate, and the Sima army originally planned to encircle Jiexiu and send reinforcements, and set up an ambush in the north of Jiexiu, preparing to inflict heavy damage on the reinforcements of the state army.

However, Jiexiu City was repeatedly attacked, Sima Jun could not pose any threat to others, and Jinyang naturally did not send any reinforcements, so that Sima Jun's ambush plan was in vain, and hundreds of thousands of troops were dragged under Jiexiu's city, unable to advance or retreat, and the entire battle situation also fell into a state of stagnation.

Jiexiu is the only way to go north to Jinyang, but it is not the only way, in fact, if Sima Jun really wants to enter Jinyang, there are still multiple choices.

However, bypassing Jiexiu, there is a huge risk that cannot be ignored that the long supply line of the Sima army cannot be guaranteed, if everything goes well in the attack on Jinyang, Jinyang can be taken in the shortest possible time, and the battle situation will not have any problems.

However, if the siege of Jinyang is the same as the siege of Jiexiu, after falling into a long-term tug-of-war, Jiexiu in the rear will become a thorn in the throat of the Sima army, which will seriously affect the safety of the supply line of the Sima army.

Such a risk is obviously something that Sima Yi can't bear, the last time he hit Huainan, although Sima Yi adopted a long-term siege of Shouchun City, but from Luoyang to Huainan, this transportation line has always been unimpeded, Sima Yi doesn't have any worries, he can let go and do whatever he wants.

But the current situation is different, if you can't take Jiexiu, it is equivalent to not being able to knock on the door of attacking and merging states, and if you want to solve this problem, Sima Yi is really anxious. 11.
