Chapter 503: Decisive Battle with Zhuge Liang (18)
Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu, with Lu Bu's Dragon Guard, about a thousand people (who had acted in Jiamengguan before, suffered some casualties), followed by the thousands of elites, and also rushed to Xindu.
The battle begins.
Zhuge Liang told Liu Feng and Meng Da to defend the city. He retreated into the cave.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh...
Arrows dance wildly and rain down.
Wu Yunzhao's five thousand elites collided head-on with those arrows and paid a certain amount of casualties.
But.
No amount of arrows could stop them from moving forward.
Following Wu Yunzhao, it is Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba. The Dragon Guard led by them is even more one-in-a-thousand, and they are not afraid of death. Don't look at the attack after Wu Yunzhao, but it is faster than Wu Yunzhao's five thousand elites.
"Die!"
Li Cunxiao crossed over and reached the south bank of the moat, where he saw a stone fall and was slapped back by him.
Li Yuanba caught up and climbed the ladder first.
Li Cunxiao followed.
Xiang Yu was responsible for leading the Dragon Guard Army to do a large-scale attack.
It was originally Wu Yun who called the vanguard, but now it has become them.
"Throw all the rocks, throw them down!" Liu Feng and Meng Da yelled anxiously.
"Strategist, Strategist..." Liu Feng ran back to the Tibetan Soldier Cave: "Military Division, it's too dangerous here, you better go to the city to watch the battle." β
"What?!"
Zhuge Liang had just entered the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and he hadn't had time to sit down in a hurry.
"You've been preparing for so long, and you still can't hold the tower?" Zhuge Liang was a little angry. The world knows that he can't fight Lu Bu, but who understands his hardships.
Even the well-prepared city defense can't stop Lu Bu for a while, so how can he hold Yizhou?
Zhuge Liang snorted: "I'm not leaving." Go back quickly, and guard the tower for me. β
"Strategist, Strategist..."
Liu Feng was just about to leave, but Meng Da ran in again: "Military Division, Li Yuanba is coming up quickly, you can quickly enter the city and hide." β
Hearing Li Yuanba's name, Zhuge Liang was really a little stunned.
"Come on, quickly protect the military division." Liu Feng called a few soldiers and forcibly escorted Zhuge Liang back to the city.
Thundered!
As soon as Zhuge Liang left, Li Yuanba's drum urn and golden hammer appeared on the city tower. A hammer smashed the shield formed by the soldiers, forced a breakthrough of the defenses, and jumped onto the tower.
"Hmph, we can finally have a good fight."
Li Yuanba's mood is excellent.
The soldiers of the Shu Army standing around him couldn't help but retreat when they saw the huge golden hammer. Thinking about Li Yuanba's prestige again, he trembled all over, and his legs and feet were weak.
"Hahaha... Come on! After resting for a few breaths, Li Yuanba took the lead in attacking.
"Ahhh
The surrounding Shu soldiers all suffered a catastrophe.
Meanwhile.
Li Cunxiao also jumped onto the city tower and fought side by side with Li Yuanba.
If you want to say that these two brothers are really brave. Thousands of soldiers were on the towers, and the blocked water could not stop them. Their weapons were completely like lamp grass in front of the Yu Wang's lance and the drum urn and the golden hammer.
"Yuan Zhi, how do you feel?"
Watching more and more soldiers climb the city tower, Lu Bu asked Xu Shu with a smile.
"Hehe... All right. Maybe Zhuge Liang didn't expect it. His carefully arranged city defenses were broken up as soon as we began to engage us. The siege speed of Yuanba and Cunxiao made him unable to even use many of the equipment used to defend the city. β
"Hmm."
Lu Bu also saw the large crossbow machines on the city tower, each of which could shoot several spears, and the power was amazing. If they were all opened and shot, the besieging troops would pay a heavy price.
"It's called... Soldiers, you are fast! β
Xu Shu also gradually reassured and said: "With Yuanba and Cunxiao, it is not difficult to take the city tower." Zhuge Liang lost his calculations again. β
......................
When LΓΌ Bu led the army to attack the new capital, Han Xin's 1st Division, divided into two parts, marched to the east and west, testing Zhuge Liangbu's military strength outside the city.
After a day of fighting.
Han Shin concluded.
To the east and west, most of the military formations of the Shu army were fake. However, there are many traps, ambushes, and extremely difficult to break through. Even if you can rush through, it will pay a lot of price.
The most important thing is that there are not many Shu troops on the east and west sides. If you win, you can't inflict heavy damage on the Shu army.
In the north, there were 30,000 Shu troops garrisoned, and the defense was extremely tight.
To the south is the new capital, which is guarded by Zhuge Liang himself.
In other words, now Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops have been confined to a radius of more than ten miles, and they cannot advance or retreat. If you can't find a way out within five days, you are likely to run out of food.
"Lord, General Han is here..."
Under the new capital, the siege continued. To be precise, the city gate tower has been captured by Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, and Xiang Yu, but in the city tower, there are fifty or sixty thousand Shu troops, commanded by Zhuge Liang personally, which is extremely difficult to overcome.
"General Han, how is your situation there?" Lu Bu asked Han Xin who came over.
Han Xin told what had happened.
Xu Shu said: "In this way, we must defeat Zhuge Liang and occupy the new capital." Otherwise our army will be in trouble. β
"We're already in trouble. We have enough food for five days. Therefore, within five days, they should enter the new capital, or defeat the northern land, and retreat to rest. Han Xin said.
"Can't be returned..."
Lu Bu had this obsession in his heart, so he was desperate to attack Xindu. It's like a kick at the door, kicking it out and kicking it out, once you go back, when will it come back?
This kind of thankless work, he doesn't want to do.
"Let's go up to the castle and have a look..."
Lu Bu walked forward with Xu Shu.
Han Shin also followed.
Soon followed the ladder and climbed to the castle tower.
Xiang Yu and Wu Yunzhao were organizing their troops and preparing to storm Zhuge Liang's big array.
Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao rested on the side.
"General Xiang, how's the situation?" Lu Bu walked over and asked.
Xiang Yu turned around and saw Lu Bu, pointed to the city with some worry, and replied: "Lord, please see, that is Zhuge Liang's formation." Although I don't set up and break the formation, I can also feel the subtlety of his formation. It is not to dare to act rashly. β
"It's..."
Xu Shu stared at the city a little distracted.
Han Xin continued: "It should be a change after the fusion of the Bagua Array and the Bagua Array, and a lot of equipment and bows and crossbows have been added to the center of his formation, making his formation even more powerful. It is really very difficult for the lord to break this formation. β
"Even you can't break it?"
Lu Bu asked in surprise.
"Not really. If you have enough ammunition, no matter what the formation, you can break it. Han Xin replied wittily.
"Do you still have to say that? When I was in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang put up a plan of eight formations, but he was not bombarded into slag by my red-clothed cannon, and he lowered Baihui with all his might. But now we don't have enough ammunition, can't we break the formation with the strength in our hands alone? β
"This..."
Han Xin hesitated and looked at Xu Shu.
"Don't look at me, I won't. Zhuge Liang's formation is a combination of multiple formations, and it must be carefully studied. Xu Shu said very calmly.
Even Xu Shu couldn't break the formation, and Han Xin didn't feel ashamed.
