Chapter 258: Circumference is missing one
Northwest of Wuji County, near Maqiao Town.
A cavalry quietly entered Maqiao Town, and it was another plundering battle, but this time the gain was small. Badun led his cavalry all the way to kill, and the closer he got to Wuji County, the smaller the harvest became, because many of the people had already fled.
Su Muyan, Nanlou, Wuyan and others did not gain anything, and began to question Badun.
In fact, Nanlou, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan are not Qiu Liju's subordinates, they are the little kings of the three tribes, they are just subordinate to Qiu Liju, and they are willing to obey Qiu Liju's dispatch, but it does not mean that they will obey to the ground. When their interests are not satisfied, they will immediately turn against them.
Encountering this situation, Badon did not panic and gathered the three of them together.
With a calm expression, he said slowly: "Three leaders, we came all the way with our soldiers, and the reason why the harvest was reduced was because the people fled to Wuji County. The situation in Wuji County, you all got the news and knew that Gongsun Chan was attacking, but Gongsun Chan did not take it, and the battle situation was already stalemate. ”
"If we go to attack Wuji County, do you think we can take Wuji County? Obviously, it is impossible to take it, because we don't even have the equipment to attack the city, and the only way is to plunder ordinary villages and towns. ”
"My plan is to avoid Wuji County and continue south. The people of Zhongshan fled to Wuji County for refuge, but the people of the counties in the south still don't know the situation, and we will definitely be able to loot more property. ”
"Three, what do you think?"
The corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, and he looked like he was in his chest.
He was sure that the three would not refuse.
Nanlou, Su Muyan and Wu Yan looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with Badun's proposal. For them, what is important is to get the benefits of getting their hands, and they don't care about the rest.
……
Early the next morning, Gongsun Chan ordered his soldiers to attack.
After a night of recuperation, the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan's command regained their spirits and continued to storm Wuji County. Compared with yesterday, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers' offensive not only did not weaken, but became even more fierce.
The siege equipment is constantly coming.
Large boulders were thrown out and bombarded the city wall, smashing dents here and there.
Some boulders landed on the aisle of the city tower, clattering against the soldiers, directly crushing the soldiers into meatloaf.
The Youzhou army attacked fiercely, and Tai Shici did not give in at all.
In addition to the soldiers defending the city, there were already armed civilians engaged in the battle. These newly recruited people participated in the battle with steel swords, although the combat effectiveness was good, but after the number increased, the effect was not bad, and they could stop the Youzhou army that came up.
In addition, Tai Shici also made certain adjustments to the soldiers of the army.
Gongsun Chan attacked fiercely, and Tai Shici did not send all his soldiers to resist. Every day, Tai Shi Ci dispatched different soldiers to resist on the city tower, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers to the greatest extent and allow the soldiers to maintain a longer time. With the help of the people, the defense of the city tower was strengthened, and Gongsun Zhan, who was watching the battle, also found something different.
According to common sense, the defense is weaker the further back it goes.
Tai Shi Ci's defense is different, but it is stronger than yesterday, which makes Gongsun Chan feel strange.
Zhao Yun rode a horse and stood beside Gongsun Zhan, seeing the soldiers rushing up to fight, a trace of longing appeared in his eyes, eager to make meritorious contributions to kill the enemy. He looked at Gongsun Zhan, hugged his fists and said, "Lord, the last general will ask for battle!" ”
Gongsun Zhan didn't want to think about it, and refused without hesitation: "Zilong, you are a rare general under my command, and you can't take risks." In case you have three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it make Bai Ma Yi never have a main general? You're in charge of the charge, not the siege. ”
Zhao Yun sighed lightly, feeling helpless.
Gongsun Chan knew Zhao Yun's ability, so he asked Zhao Yun to command the White Horse.
However, Gongsun Chan did not need a person with high prestige and great achievements to lead the White Horse Servant, because he would feel threatened. As long as Zhao Yun's exploits have been mediocre, Gongsun Chan can rest assured that Zhao Yun will be able to command the White Horse.
At the end of the day's fighting, both sides suffered numerous casualties.
Tai Shi Ci counted the dead and wounded soldiers, and after some counting, Tai Shi Ci pinched his teeth and felt distressed. In the daytime battle, more than 800 people were killed and more than 1,400 were wounded, and the combat effectiveness was seriously damaged. Such a situation simply cannot last long. After Tai Shi Ci finished dinner, he stood on the city tower with a cold expression.
This battle is not easy!
It's just that I don't know when the main guild will come?
Tai Shici was in a daze on the city tower, and in the Youzhou military camp outside the city, Gongsun Zhan had a gloomy face and was also very unhappy. After two consecutive days of siege, he was in a very bad mood. Looking at the military generals under his command, Gongsun Zan said: "The siege is not good at the moment, what are your ideas?" ”
One by one, the officials shut their mouths and did not know what to say?
Zhao Yun sat at the end of the seat and opened his mouth, but did not speak.
"The official raises you on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical time, you are all dumb, hum, a group of rice buckets ......" A cold snort showed that Gongsun Chan was very dissatisfied.
"Brother, this battle will be won!"
On the left side of the tent, a middle-aged man with a thin body, wearing a gossip robe, and looking like a fairy wind and bones, said.
This person's name is Liu Weitai, and he is the sworn brother of Gongsun Zhan and a fortune teller.
Liu Bei has Taoyuan three righteousness, and Gongsun Zhan is also not left behind, and he came to Youzhou and four righteousness. Gongsun Zhan is a well-deserved boss, the second is Liu Weitai, the third is Liu Weitai, the third is Li Yizi, who sells silk cloth, and the fourth is a businessman. The relationship between the four people is irreversible, and when they lead the troops to fight, Gongsun Chan takes the four of them with him.
As soon as Liu Weitai spoke, Gongsun Zhan became interested and hurriedly asked, "Why did the second brother say this?" ”
For Liu Weitai's divination, Gongsun Zhan is very convinced. Every time Gongsun Chan asked Liu Weitai, the final result came true, so as soon as Liu Weitai opened his mouth, Gongsun Chan was very happy.
Liu Weitai said: "Brother, I watched the sky at night, and then divined it myself, and speculated that there were twists and turns in the process of this battle, but in the end, my brother will win." This time to attack Jizhou, my brother will definitely be able to lay a foundation. ”
In an instant, a smile appeared on Gongsun Zhan's face.
The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and a touch of disdain appeared in his eyes, not believing Liu Weitai's words. However, it is impossible for Zhao Yun to refute Liu Weitai, this Liu Weitai's status in Gongsun Zhan's heart is extraordinary, and it is boring for him to stand up against it.
Gongsun Chan was in a better mood and said, "This battle is related to the great cause of my Gongsun Chan, and the attack on Wuji County is in a stalemate, do you have any suggestions?" Give me a brainstorm and think about it. ”
"My lord, there will be a strategy in the end, and we can take Wuji County." Tian Kai stood up and hugged his fists.
Gongsun Zan hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, say it quickly!" ”
Tian Kai's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "Today, the two armies are fighting, and I found that the defense of Wuji County has been slightly strengthened and the number of troops is more, so I asked the soldiers who attacked, and learned that the people in the city have participated in the battle. The people participated in the war, and I can boldly speculate that Tai Shici's troops have been exhausted, and they have reached the point of exhaustion. ”
Speaking of this, Tian Kai said confidently: "I suggest changing the strategy of attacking Wuji County, from encircling on all sides to encircling three missing one, and then shooting feather arrows into the city, and the bow and arrow should be tied with the words 'those who descend will not be killed', so that the people know that we have given a way to live, so that the people have the mind to survive." The people who helped Tai Shi Ci had no fighting spirit, and Tai Shi Ci would definitely be defeated. ”
"Okay, good strategy!"
Gongsun Chan stroked his palms and praised and nodded again and again, looking very excited.
