Chapter 787 is a great scenery
When he thought that the other party was very likely to hide some of the people, a trace of solemnity flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, but soon this solemnity disappeared.
Because if the other party had more people and horses hidden, then when Youping had slaughtered the two thousand enemy soldiers just now, the other party would not have been able to be so calm.
After all, if you want to win a war, it is not a simple matter, there are many things to consider, and the emotions of soldiers are one of the most important ones.
If the other party hid a group of more than 5,000 men in his hand, then it would be absolutely impossible for him to watch his 2,000 soldiers being slaughtered like that.
That would not only result in the loss of some troops, but would also have a very bad impact on the rest of the men, and even greatly affect their morale.
Once the morale of the soldiers drops below freezing, then no matter how many men and horses they have, it is useless, and in the end, the victory will definitely belong to the Jiangdong Army.
Therefore, even if the other party hides the people and horses, it is only a small part of the hidden ones, and it is absolutely impossible to surpass the soldiers and horses under Youping.
Only in this way can the other party's generals use the excuse that the enemy army is strong and patient for the time being, and appease the emotions of the soldiers below a little.
Maybe it can also make his subordinates feel the same hatred in their hearts.
But this time the other party will definitely be disappointed, if he thinks that he can use such a little trick to trick himself, then he will definitely suffer the consequences!
His subordinates are all those who have been carefully trained by themselves for a long time.
It can be said that his subordinates are the most elite part of the entire Jiangdong Army, and the number has exceeded 20,000!
Now he uses 20,000 elites to attack Changsha City, even if the other party hides 5,000 people before, then his troops are still less than 10,000.
Although the art of war has a cloud, "ten and surround it, five and attack it, and twice fight it".
But the elite under his own command is not so easy to get along with, and Sun Ce is confident that he will take down the fortified city in front of him with his own people.
Didn't the other party want to calculate himself, then he would separate his men.
This time, he wants to attack from the east, west, and south of Changsha City, so that he can see what else the other party can do!
Thinking of this, Sun Ce immediately gave an order and divided his subordinates into three parts.
Five thousand men were sent to the east and west to make a feint, while the south side left 10,000 horses as the main attack.
In this way, the goal of making the other party take care of one thing and lose the other is completely to bully the other party's insufficient troops.
At the same time, don't look at the east and west sides are feints, but as long as the opponent is a little slack, these two sides can become the main attack in an instant!
As long as your subordinates can climb the city walls, the situation will immediately change completely.
At that time, the other party will not be able to resist for half an hour, and he will be annihilated by all his subordinates!
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Sun Ce's face, and then he ordered his subordinates behind him to stop the siege for the time being.
After waiting for the men and horses on the east and west sides to arrive, he will immediately order his subordinates to attack Changsha City on three sides!
Sun Ce's men and horses under the city stopped attacking, and Wei Yan at the head of the city did not continue to order the release of arrows.
He knew that now he could let his subordinates rest for an extra breath, which was extremely precious!
There were less than 3,000 men under his command, and when Zhou Tai attacked the city just now, six or seven hundred people had been injured of varying degrees of severity and severity, and even one or two hundred people were killed!
Now don't talk about those soldiers who are only slightly injured, even if they are seriously injured, as long as they can still move their bodies, they will stick to the city.
This situation is already extremely bad, if the opponent keeps attacking wildly, then even a drag can drag them all to death.
Even if there is help from the people of Changsha now, after all, there is not much that the people can do, and at the most critical juncture, he still needs his subordinates to go up and work hard!
Now that his subordinates can all recover some physical strength, then in case of a situation that requires hand-to-hand combat, his chances of victory can be slightly higher!
And what the other party wants to do now, he knows it clearly, doesn't he just want to use the advantage of strength to make it difficult for him!
If there is no help from the people of Changsha, then this is really the situation that I am most afraid of.
But now with the help of the people, such a situation is no longer enough to shake the Changsha City under his feet!
And the other party is doing this now, which is tantamount to playing into his arms.
If this battle can fully meet his expectations, then it can definitely give a hard blow to the Jiangdong Army under the city!
That's why Wei Yan ordered his subordinates to stop firing arrows, and then he sent four hundred-man teams, two hundred-man teams on each side of the east and west city walls.
These two hundred-man teams were not the main force defending the city, but Wei Yan needed them to command and guide those people.
As long as the time is ripe, the people of Changsha under their command will give a big surprise to the Jiangdong Army under the city!
As the two sides that were fighting suddenly stopped, the atmosphere in the field had reached the extreme, and the strings in the minds of both sides had been tightened at this time, just waiting for an order!
Soon Sun Ce's men and horses all returned to their positions, and when he received the news from his subordinates, Sun Ce immediately ordered his subordinates to start beating drums.
With the sound of war drums that resounded through the heavens and the earth, Sun Ce's men began a second siege of the city, and this time Sun Ce also sent additional men to the chariot.
When the two sides started firing at each other again, Sun Ce's subordinates were already able to tie with the other side, which gave the siege troops a good opportunity.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Sun Ce immediately ordered his subordinates to start erecting a ladder, and after Sun Ce's subordinates got the order, they carried the ladder and rushed to the city wall of Changsha City.
Soon, on the east, west, and south sides, hundreds of ladders were hung on the head of Changsha City, and on each ladder, there were nearly a dozen of Sun Ce's subordinates climbing rapidly.
From a distance, these people look like swift soldier ants, rushing towards their prey.
And now the Jingzhou army on the city wall seems to be a little dumb, except for shooting one or two rounds of arrow rain from time to time, they don't even make any other moves at all.
This made Sun Jian, who was watching the battle from a distance, laugh proudly, he pointed to Changsha City not far away with the horsewhip in his hand, and said to the generals of the Sun family behind him:
"Haha, Liu Biao'er's subordinates are already exhausted! Ladies and gentlemen, in half an hour at most, Ce'er will definitely be able to take Changsha City! When the time comes, we will hold a banquet in Changsha City, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk! Ha~ha~ha~ha!"
Just when Sun Jianzhi was complacent, suddenly Zhou Yu came to his side with a look of urgency.
At this time, Zhou Yu, who has always paid great attention to dignity and humility, shouted at Sun Jian desperately:
"Lord, quickly Mingjin retreats his troops, otherwise Bo Fu will definitely lose this battle!"
