Chapter 565: Assault Tactics

ordered to retreat, and the heralds around Zhang Yu thought that Zhang Yu had given the wrong order.

The situation on the scene was very optimistic, and it took not even three days to attack the city overnight.

But Zhang Yu had to order the withdrawal of troops.

The herald confirmed to Zhang Yu again, and Zhang Yu still ordered the withdrawal of troops.

The herald did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw.

"My lord, we can still attack."

"Yes, let's take the city in one go."

"Lord, give me two more hours, not just one hour, my subordinates will guarantee to attack the city."

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to personally lead people to charge, and they will definitely take the city."

The army retreated, and no one dared to disobey Zhang Yu's orders.

But they don't understand that their advantage is too obvious, and they can break the city in the specified time in one go.

But Zhang Yu ordered the withdrawal of troops.

After coming back, several deputy generals and some generals came to Zhang Yu to ask for battle.

Zhang Yu was very happy in his heart, but his face was still serious.

"I understand your feelings, but I have my considerations, go back, let the soldiers rest well, and continue the attack tomorrow morning." Zhang Yu said.

Many generals still wanted to continue to fight, but were driven back by Zhang Yu.

Several lieutenants didn't understand and waited for Zhang Yu to explain to them.

"Our battle is not just the battle in front of us, after this battle, there are many more battles waiting for them, and today you have also seen that the morale of the soldiers is high, especially the ranks of archers."

Zhang Yu paused, took a sip of water and continued: "This is a good thing, but as the main general, they must be stopped, they are consuming arm strength. ”

"You are also until, once the arm strength is consumed, then it will take a few days to recover, if so, how will the battle be fought in the future."

A few lieutenants understood.

Indeed, the archer is not at all easy, and it takes a lot of arm strength to pull the bowstring, and it is easy to lose the force.

These archers have been trained for a long time, and ordinary people have long been out of strength with such a high frequency of attack.

Zhang Yu naturally can't let them lose their strength, and there are more important battles to be fought in the future.

These archers are playing like crazy, and their usual training and regulations require them to control their rhythm and not lose their strength.

But if Zhang Yu doesn't stop it today, I'm afraid that most of the archers will lose their strength.

Zhang Yu withdrew his troops to rest.

The guards at the head of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, but many of them collapsed directly on the head of the city.

The tempo of the siege battle this time is too strong.

Many of them have not yet undergone decent training, and it is difficult for them to adapt to such a high-intensity war.

There are also many cases where soldiers are frightened and run away.

It is not the elite of Yuan Shu here, and in the face of Zhang Yu's elite, the gap is too big.

Before, morale was high, but it was hit too hard all at once.

"You go and organize the soldiers immediately, you can't relax, Zhang Yu has set a time of three days, and there will definitely be an attack on the city after dinner." The guard breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked a few lieutenants to prepare.

The enemy was divided into two groups, one to rest and eat, and the other to defend the city and carry stones and logs.

They were nervously preparing for the war.

The low morale can be described as great joy and sorrow.

And Zhang Yu and them, after coming back, ordered a few soldiers to defend, and most of them went to rest.

"I will attack them every half an hour at night, and 20,000 people will be specially allocated to come out, and these 20,000 people will not have to participate in the siege tomorrow." Zhang Yu ordered.

Zhang Yu didn't plan to attack one night, but there was a three-day appointment, and the army defending the city did not dare to relax at all.

They all decided that Zhang Yu had a three-day appointment, and he would definitely seize the time and not dare to relax for a moment.

After nightfall, Zhang Yu and his army quickly went to rest.

And the war drums of the feint attack army sounded in unison, in order to create momentum, Zhang Yu let the 20,000 troops attack and disturb, the shouting and killing sound is no different from the real siege, even louder than the real siege.

In the face of this noisy battlefield environment, no one in the city could sleep.

And most of Zhang Yu's army can sleep, because they also train often because of this situation.

Although the environment is noisy, the soldiers sleep well.

The defenders in the city did not let them sleep at all in the first half of the night, because of the judgment, Zhang Yu and they would soon launch an attack, and the whole army was ready.

But half a night passed, and Zhang Yu and the others just kept harassing.

"General, Zhang Yu's army is an attack tactic, so, by dawn, the soldiers must be very tired." Said the adjutant general.

"Everyone can see this tired soldier's technique, but whoever dares to relax, the enemy has 100,000, and he may attack at any time, a surprise attack, the slightest carelessness, the city will be broken." The guard said.

Although this defender doesn't have much talent, he also understands Zhang Yu's tactics.

But how can they, dare not be prepared, dare to let the soldiers rest?

Who knows if the next offensive will be real or fake.

"Let half of the soldiers go to rest, and change after dawn." The Keeper said.

They are tired for a day, and if they can't rest at night, the next day's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Despite this, they still slept very poorly.

The earth-shattering shouts and killing outside the city made it impossible for these people who had not been baptized on the battlefield to sleep.

The 20,000 troops continued to harass, and the defenders in the city remained tense and tired.

In the second half of the night, the harassment did not stop, and many soldiers were awakened from their sleep.

Even, many of the troops at the head of the city were scared to death, because many people were tired and fell asleep, and suddenly heard the shouts of killing, so they could not be scared to death.

In particular, Zhang Yu's attack was not a simple shouting and war drum.

Sometimes, they sneak under the city and release arrows.

Although they didn't kill a few people, they thought it was real this time, and the whole city moved, and even asked the soldiers who had taken it down to rest to get up and prepare immediately.

With such a toss, who can sleep, whose spirit is not highly tense.

As soon as I relaxed, I was taken aback.

The soldiers in the city were tossed miserably, but Zhang Yu and they slept well.

The sky gradually brightened, and Zhang Yu and the others began to cook.

While Zhang Yu was eating, the harassment still did not stop.

After eating, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack, and slowly threatened with the army.

The defenders of the city did not even dare to replace them, and directly pulled the whole army to the city.

"Soldiers, we have been defending for one day, and we have two days to go, and as long as we hold for two more days, we will be victorious." The guards began to encourage them.

Encouragement was useful, and in the hope of survival, the exhausted soldier was reinvigorated.

After a night's rest, Zhang Yu's army recovered its combat strength and set up an attack formation.

"The whole army obeys the order, and the city must be broken this morning." Zhang Yu ordered.
