Chapter 809 - Overwhelmed
The battle ended on the first day, and the intensity exceeded that of Zhang Yu's previous siege battles.
Zhang Yu's least favorite thing is to fight siege warfare, and the losses are too great.
After going back and counting, Zhang Yu lost more than 7,000 people.
lost more than 7,000 people in one day, which made Zhang Yu also very distressed.
But there is no way, this level must be passed, and there will be many more siege battles in the future.
Zhang Yu summoned the generals.
"Tomorrow's attack will slow down the rhythm, tomorrow morning, we will slow down the pace, don't force it so tightly, in the afternoon, suddenly attack, they are all recruits, we suddenly attack fiercely, they can't adapt to it all of a sudden, they will definitely be able to gain something." Zhang Yu said.
These recruits, once they get used to a certain rhythm and the other party suddenly changes the rhythm, they will not be able to adapt to it.
With the strategy set, Zhang Yu arranged for the soldiers to rest.
There was a large camp thirty miles away, and Zhang Yu and his team built a temporary camp ten miles away from the battlefield to facilitate the encirclement and attack of Hefei City.
In the city, LΓΌ Bu could only summon his few remaining generals to discuss the matter.
"Today we have lost more than 17,000 people, this loss, we can hardly bear this loss, tomorrow we will arrange some more veterans, and each city wall must arrange a team, ready to attack the people who attack the city."
On the first day, Lu Bu was really unacceptable to let his family hit the city.
Although Lu Bu is not good at defending the city, he has fought so many battles after all, he understands the basics, and he knows how to defend better than ordinary generals.
Both sides are arranging the next day's operation.
However, Zhang Yu was obviously much more relaxed, although he was on the besieging side, he had reassuring generals under him.
The next day, the two sides met again on the battlefield.
This time, Lu Bu changed a group of people, and yesterday's group of people were frightened and needed to rest.
Zhang Yu and their military appearance were neat, and they appeared on the battlefield, showing off their black armor and pressing black, this is the deterrent effect.
In this way, if the formation is opened, the military appearance will give people a lot of pressure.
Lu Bu frowned at the head of the city, this battle was already not very optimistic.
What if you win?
Chen Gong had analyzed before that it was only an expedient measure to take refuge in Yuan Shu, and they had to wait for the opportunity to occupy a piece of territory for development, otherwise they would still be defeated quickly.
Now, Lu Bu has no one to give him ideas, and he doesn't know where to go.
Lu Bu touched the letter in his arms, this was his hope, he wanted to open it and look at it, but gave up again.
"Kill."
moved, Zhang Yu's army began to move.
Columns of troops were pressing towards the city walls, spears with murderous aura, and the sound of footsteps could make the walls tremble.
The drums of war sounded, urging people...
The soldiers and horses of Jiangdong approached the city wall, and the first wave of arrows was fired.
The dense barrage of arrows makes people's scalps tingle.
"Kill."
There was another shout of killing, and the sound could also deter the enemy.
The arrow attacked, and there was a panic in the city immediately, recruits are recruits, and there are always a lot of discomforts when encountering such bloody things.
However, after a moment of panic, the veterans of the city began to stabilize them.
"Get it all up for me. Get up. β
"The archers are ready to fight back."
"Don't panic, hide under the battlements, they can't attack."
"The infantry will come up at once."
Under the command of the veterans, the soldiers at the head of the city also began to fight back.
Under the city, Zhang Yu has been watching.
"Yes, Ma Wei did a good job this time." Zhang Yu said.
Although Zhang Yu couldn't see the reaction on the head of the city, he could judge it from the signs.
For example, their counterattacks were messy, the soldiers were not in place in time, and so on.
The first battle took effect, and Zhang Yu made them slow down the pace.
Suddenly, the tempo slowed down, and Zhang Yu attacked in a regular manner, trying to control casualties.
An hour passed, and although the two sides fought quite fiercely, there was no danger on the city wall.
"Zhang Yu, what are you doing?" Lu Bu said with a frown.
He couldn't understand that if Zhang Yu could maintain the previous rhythm and attack the city, maybe the casualties would be greater, but within a few days, the army in the city would collapse.
The army in Lu Bu's hands was not an elite soldier, and it was easy to be beaten to the point of collapse.
But Zhang Yu slowed down the pace.
Lu Bu went around and observed several city walls, but still didn't find anything.
Lu Bu had a headache, and there was no one to discuss at this time.
Lu Bu didn't dare to leave, and vaguely felt that Zhang Yu would not give up so easily, let alone have no plans.
Just like this morning passed.
At noon, Zhang Yu and the others did not stop, but changed an army to continue the attack.
The defenders at the head of the city have also changed two batches, and these recruits have experienced the war and need to be relieved.
"Order a few generals, all of them will act after a stick of incense, and whoever captures the city first will be credited." It's about the same time, Zhang Yu ordered.
The order was given at this time because Zhang Yu found that another group of soldiers had come up from the city, these were new soldiers, and under his own assault, he would definitely be able to achieve good results.
Several generals secretly made preparations and ordered them to be conveyed one by one.
"Kill."
"Rush to me, rush to the wall."
"Capture Lu Bu alive." β
"Rabbit cubs, give me a charge, the first army to rush to the city wall, the lord has a reward."
"For the sake of honor."
When the time came, suddenly, several soldiers and horses shook at the same time, shouting and killing.
The drums of war rang loudly, and the flags were waved together, and the sound of the whole army shouting and killing pressed towards the enemy like a mountain, as if to tear down the city wall.
This shocking scene put a lot of pressure on the enemy, not to mention those recruits, even the veterans were shocked, and they could not forget this scene for the rest of their lives.
"Archers, start attacking, attacking, attacking."
The whole army launched an assault, and the archers took the lead, and the arrows fell all over the sky, making people desperate.
As if there was nowhere to hide, some timid soldiers crouched on the ground and shivered.
Veterans and officers are yelling.
"Get up, get up."
"The enemy is coming up, counterattacking, counterattacking."
"Fight back, fight back for me."
"Get up...."
They roared loudly, but part of the sound was muffled by Koto's soldiers and horses.
Dian Wei's soldiers and horses, and Ling Cao's soldiers and horses took the lead in climbing the city, and Dian Wei even climbed the city wall in person, and his bravery was abnormal.
And the soldiers and horses led by Ling Cao were all fearless of death, and when they heard that Zhang Yu wanted to reward the army that took the lead in the city, they all risked their lives to attack for the sake of honor.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Ban also attacked the city, and Yu Ban's fighting style was conservative, after all, it was the first time he commanded Jiangdong's soldiers and horses to participate in this kind of battle, and he did not have a very in-depth understanding of this army.
The latest is Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu's side Lu Bu is personally commanding, and his personal guards are there, and the combat effectiveness is very different from others.
Three places were broken through, and Lu Bu also had a black face when he received the news.
On the first day, he was attacked at the head of the city, and this time he was prepared, and he was still attacked.
