Chapter 283: Different Ways to Play
The attack on Yuyang officially started on the third day, and Lu Peng, who already had a complete plan, began to attack the enemy by using the advanced and modern weapons in his hands, and never relied on the ladder and used human lives to fill it up like Liu Bei.
As soon as the war began, Lu Peng first threw stone eggs at Yuyang City with a catapult, and for a while, the smashed Yuyang City was full of soil and stones, and smoke and dust were billowing out.
However, after all, the trebuchet was not accurate, so the killing and damage to the enemy was limited, so Lu Peng began to organize more than 3,000 longbow soldiers in his hands, standing under the city, relying on the huge distance advantage of his longbow, and began to throw huge arrows at the city wall, and launched a covering shot at the head of Yuyang City. For a while, the giant arrows were overwhelming, and in an instant, they swept away all the living creatures on the city wall.
Fortunately, most of the people in the city were rebels and Wuhuan soldiers, and few of them were forced to go to the city, which made Lu Peng's heart somewhat comforted, but it can also be seen that there are really not many people in Yuyang City.
A group of enemies at the head of the city were shot and killed, and the enemy could no longer be seen in the city, so LΓΌ Peng ordered the 5,000 people to start shouting and making the appearance of burying the moat.
So the enemy defending the city sent a group of defenders upwards, ready to use bows and arrows against the people who filled the moat.
As a result, as soon as they showed up, another batch of huge arrows flew up again, sweeping the city again, and so on and again, the enemy army in the southern city was killed and wounded, and the enemies killed here were definitely much more than Liu Bei's command of 30,000 troops to storm the city. That's the strength of the device.
Liu Bei's attack on Ximen this time has already made a bloody investment, and he wants to prove the ability of his three brothers to Liu Yu in this battle, so as to get Liu Yu's reuse.
The people who were driven into battle like ants, carrying large and small packages, which were excavated earth, began to fill in the deep and wide moat, and the feathered arrows on the city continued to fall like a waterfall, shooting one after another at the side of the moat, screaming and wailing to the sky.
Liu Bei, who has always prided himself on being sympathetic to the people, had no compassion at all at this time, and on the high point of the general's platform, he looked indifferently at the people who were constantly dying, but his mouth kept urging, so that the follow-up nations would continue to die one after another.
And the supervision team led by Zhang Fei slashed and killed the people who dared to patrol on the spot, and for a while, the heads of people behind the position were splashing with blood.
"One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, this is the inevitable truth of the world, if you want to achieve your goal, you must pay what you should pay." This is the explanation that Liu Bei gave himself.
Looking at the eldest brother who suddenly became decisive, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's eyes were full of reverence, this is the hero who should really fight for hegemony in this troubled world, crying all day long, where does it still make people feel that you have an unlimited future?
"Now send a messenger again to ask Lu Peng, is it a real attack or a fake attack?"
Guan Yu, who was running back and forth, could only reluctantly accept this order, and called a messenger to prepare for him to go to Lu Peng, but after thinking about it again, he decided that it would be better to go there himself.
Flying on his horse and rushing to Lu Peng's military camp, when he rushed to the front of Lu Peng's formation, he saw nearly a hundred trebuchets, constantly bombarding Yuyang City, and saw thousands of longbowmen, covering the head of Yuyang City again and again, and seeing that after the longbowmen swept the city, thousands of people, when there were almost no casualties, were burying the moat step by step, and Guan Yu had nothing to say.
Lu Peng took Guan Yu's hand and explained with sincere pain on his face: "My soldiers and horses are not as many as Xuande Gong's, I can't afford to lose, I can only go to the siege step by step, when my trebuchet smashes a section of the city wall, I will not hesitate to wave my army and rush over." β
But as soon as the conversation changed, he said: "But not now, because the moat has not been filled, the city wall has not been smashed by me, and I still have too few soldiers and horses, so I can only proceed step by step." β
This kind of reason is absolutely correct and legitimate, and the correct one has nothing to say. The honest Guan Yu can only agree with Lu Peng's reason. Holding Lu Peng's hand, Guan Yu said sincerely: "Although we are a coalition army that is not under each other's control, but you attack fiercely here, after all, you can contain part of the enemy's strength, and can relieve the pressure on our attacks in the west and north." β
Shook Lu Peng's hand fiercely: "At this time, coordinated combat is the most fundamental, we have killed and injured more than 1,000 soldiers in just a short period of time. Here you need Mr. to hurry up and attack, to contain the enemy's defensive forces, and everything is left to Mr. β
Guan Yu has always called Lu Peng Mr., he respects Lu Peng from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, this is also practice out of true knowledge, I think when his three brothers started the army, because of Mr. Lu Peng, every step went smoothly, and then after Lu Peng broke up with everyone, his three brothers turned out to be bumpy step by step, and now Lu Peng is thriving, and there are soldiers and generals under his hands, and the three of his brothers are still two or three cats and dogs, how can Guan Yu not deeply sigh Lu Peng's ability.
Lu Peng took Guan Yu's hand, full of sincere promise: "Don't worry, although I have few soldiers and horses, I will definitely not drag Xuan Degong back." Then proudly praised Guan Yu: "Look at the city wall, there are definitely more enemies killed and injured here than you in Xicheng, as long as I kill and injure a large number of enemies, it is equivalent to relieving the pressure on Xicheng." β
At this time, Guan Yu saw another huge arrow flying, and there was a miserable scream on the city again, and then the city that had just been crowded was swept away again.
Looking at this situation, Guan Yu had to agree with Lu Peng's statement, in Xicheng, under the strong attack of his 30,000 army and 50,000 people, in fact, his own side is now on his side, but it has just been covered with a moat, and it does not pose any threat to the enemy in the city at all, let alone kill and injure the enemy.
Holding Guan Yu's hand, Lu Peng really didn't want to deceive a proud but kind-hearted person again: "I hope you don't use human lives to fill it, it will definitely outweigh the losses, give me a little time, as long as it takes five days, I will take the entire Yuyang City completely." β
For Lu Peng's confident promise, Guan Yu not only lamented when he was frightened, if you can take Yuyang City within five days, then this is definitely a fatal challenge for your eldest brother, your promise, if I tell my eldest brother, the result will definitely backfire, and it will make my eldest brother even more crazy to urge the soldiers to attack the city.
The first one to stand on Yuyang City should definitely be his eldest brother and not you Lu Peng.
