Chapter 404: The Tripartite War (4)
Lü Meng' looked at the Chengdu city wall in front of him. Said to Falin beside him.. You can be sure. Wait for us to attack the city. There will be inner should open the 'gates' of the city...
Chengdu is the capital of Yizhou. Naturally, its castles are the most fortified. Although the Jiangdong Army was superior to the Yizhou defenders in numbers. However, in siege warfare, it is not possible to form an overwhelming 'sexual' advantage. If the Yizhou army struggles to defend it. Lü 'Meng' thought that there was no possibility of breaking the city.
The general is reassured. My master Fa Xiaozhi is also considered to have a thin status in Yizhou. 'Insert' a few cronies in the midst of the defenders. It is not difficult for him to take the opportunity to open the city gate. Fallin replied from the side.
Lv 'Meng' heard this. Nodding. If it is as Fallin said. Then the possibility of winning Chengdu in this battle is still very great.
.Besiege.. Lu 'Meng' gave an order. More than 9,000 soldiers of the Jiangdong Army began to charge towards the Chengdu city wall.
Yan Yan saw the Jiangdong Army launch an offensive. It was also immediately ordered to the archers to 'shoot' arrows and return fire.
Hundreds of feathered arrows were poured out at the invaders under the city. Although the soldiers of Jiangdong raised their shields for defense. Blocked a lot of scattered arrows. But dozens of people were still killed by stray arrows.
The soldiers besieging the city may take a ladder to climb up. Or a combination of several people lifted a giant tree to hit the 'gate' of the city, while the defenders of the city resorted to 'shooting' arrows, throwing stones, sprinkling oil, etc. Do everything you can to kill the enemies who invaded Chengdu. All of a sudden. The battle was quite 'fierce'.
Lü 'Meng' sat on the war horse and watched the battle from afar. Although there is a calm and calm look on his face. In fact, I am also secretly anxious in my heart. I don't know when the dark line planted by the law will open the 'gate' of the city.
This is the first time he has gone on an expedition as the commander of the whole army. Lu 'Meng' naturally hopes to be able to establish his own achievements. If you can win this battle, you will return. Lu 'Meng' can also better repay the trust of the lord Sun Jian.
Now every extra moment of fighting. There will be several Jiangdong soldiers who died bravely. The longer the battle drags on. The damage of the Jiangdong Army will become more serious. At this time, Lu 'Meng' did not want to see it. If only the gates of the city could have been opened a moment earlier. The casualties of the own army can be reduced by one point. Now Lu 'Meng' can only hope that Fa Zheng's internal should be started as soon as possible. The city 'gate' of Chengdu will be opened earlier than in front of your eyes.
Of course. Lu 'Meng' is also very clear. This kind of thing can't be rushed. Even if it's an internal response. Also look for the right time to get started. Otherwise once it fails. Then there will be no second chance.
Now what Lu 'Meng' is most worried about is that the internal Ying arranged by Fa Zheng in the defenders will not be able to successfully complete the task of opening the 'gate' of Chengdu City. In that case, the situation I am facing will be extremely embarrassing. The worst outcome is that the lives of 9,000 soldiers will all be "handed over" to the city of Chengdu.
But Lu 'Meng' will not allow that to happen. He was the commander of an army. Naturally, there is responsibility for the life and death of the soldiers. Let them die in Yizhou in vain. It's not my mission. Lu 'Meng' has secretly made up his mind. Once the army lost more than two thousand people. And the 'gates' of the city have not yet been opened. Then suspend the offensive yourself. Retreat and set up camp. Look at the situation and make the next decision. If necessary. It is also possible to retreat on this.
Although Lu 'Meng' hopes to succeed in the first battle. But he's also a calm man. Don't be 'fooled' by utilitarianism and vanity. When it's time to retreat, I will not hesitate to retreat.
Half an hour has passed since the start of the war. The Jiangdong Army has soldiers who have climbed the city one after another. and killed a lot of soldiers defending the city. But after all, it can't further expand the results. Unable to gain a foothold on the city walls.
Casualties gradually mounted. More than 1,000 soldiers of the Jiangdong Army have died in battle under the city of Chengdu. Although it is not clear about the damage of the defenders of Chengdu City. But Lü 'Meng' estimated that there would be no more than 300 people at most.
Just when Lu 'Meng' began to feel anxious. The Chengdu city 'gate' suddenly opened.
.Checkmate. The city was opened. I saw that the gates of the city were opened. Falin immediately shouted at Lu Meng.
.Army. Immediately charge towards the 'gate' of the city. Lu 'Meng' immediately ordered. It's hard to hide the excitement in anticipation.
The opportunity to break the city is already in front of their eyes. But Lu 'Meng' also knew that this opportunity was fleeting. As soon as the defenders of the city found that the 'gates' of the city had been opened. Will definitely kill the rebel as fast as possible. Strive to reclose the 'gates' of the city.
Be sure to do it before the gates close again. Rush into the city of Chengdu.
Once the Jiangdong army entered the city. If you start a street fight with the Yizhou army. The Jiangdong Army, which had the advantage of numbers, achieved a great advantage.
The soldiers in charge of striking the gates with the giant logs. After hearing Lü Meng's order. It's a desperate attack. Because the 'gate' of the city has been opened. So after suffering the next impact . It was slowly knocked away.
More and more soldiers of the Jiangdong Army poured into the 'gate' of the city. At this time, several people near the 'gate' must have been killed by the other defenders. But they didn't have time to close the gates again. Face more and more enemies. These defenders seemed overwhelmed. They were killed by the Jiangdong Army one after another.
How could this be.. I heard a commotion coming from below. Yan Yan looked in the direction of the city gate. But I saw the scene of the city 'gate' opening wide and the Jiangdong army pouring in. Yan Yan was shocked when he saw this, and his body shook violently.
.Fast. Lower city walls. Support: Yan Yan barely managed to stabilize his mind. Ordered in the loudest voice.
