Chapter 756: Jiangzhou Offensive and Defensive Battle
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they were all excited by the news.
Su Zhe also smiled and said sarcastically: "Guan Yu really did it, but I didn't expect to put people in prison, which is even more ruthless than I imagined." ”
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Yan Yan is a veteran in Shu, with extremely high qualifications, even Liu Bei respects three points, but now he is being imprisoned by Guan Yu as an ordinary prisoner, which will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Yan Yan's old department, and I believe that there will be a good show soon." ”
Su Zhe happily drank a glass of wine and sneered: "Then let's wait and see what kind of flowers the Han army in Jiangzhou City can play." ”
At that moment, Su Zhe ordered his troops not to move, and waited for the enemy's civil strife in Jiangzhou.
Really.
Within a few days, new news came from Xizuo, claiming that after Yan Yan was imprisoned by Guan Yu, it aroused the dissatisfaction of many Shu generals such as Huang Quan, and these people spoke out one after another to complain for Yan Yan.
Huang Quan even risked his life to protect Yan Yan, claiming that with Yan Yan's loyalty, it would be impossible to betray the Han State.
Of course Guan Yu won't listen.
He not only rejected the words of Huang Quan and others, but also let out the words that whoever dares to intercede for Yan Yan will be dealt with by military law.
Guan Yu's various tough methods naturally made the Shu generals very dissatisfied, but they were afraid of Guan Yu's coercion, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
The generals didn't dare to say anything, but the Han soldiers and soldiers of the White Emperor Pass couldn't stand it, and collectively knelt outside Guan Yu's military mansion to petition for their old general Yan.
As a result, the pleas of the soldiers, instead of getting Guan Yu's sympathy, angered Guan Yu, and immediately ordered Guan Ping to lead the army to suppress it.
As a result, dozens of leading White Emperor soldiers were scolded with rods, and the rest were driven back to the barracks with sticks, and they were also fined military salaries by Guan Yu.
After a tough crackdown, thousands of White Emperor soldiers finally stopped, and they no longer dared to make trouble openly or avenge Yan Yan, and Jiangzhou City returned to calm on the surface.
It's just that the calm is only on the surface.
According to the detailed report, the White Emperor soldiers who were suppressed all had hatred towards Guan Yu, just like a * barrel, which could explode at any time.
In the imperial tent, Su Zhe listened to Xu Chu Nian reading the secret reports one by one, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised a trace of murderous intent.
"Your Majesty's move is really wonderful, let go of a Yan Yan, but it makes the enemy soldiers in Jiangzhou scattered, how can they unite to fight us." Tai Shi Ci sighed and sighed, and looked at Su Zhe with admiration.
Zhang Xiu also said happily: "Your Majesty, since the infighting of the Han army has started, then what do we have to hesitate about, immediately break through and destroy Guan Yu's house!" ”
As soon as Zhang Xiu took the lead, the rest of the generals jumped up, all of them were enthusiastic, and they begged for battle.
Bang!
Su Zhe's wine glass was buckled on the desk, Teng stood up, his murderous energy was like fire, and he waved his hand and shouted: "The enemy is dog eats dog, the timing is just right, call the soldiers to have a full meal tonight, and I will raze Jiangzhou to the ground tomorrow morning!" ”
"Raze Jiangzhou!"
"Destroy Guan Yu's house!"
"I'm going to kill him tomorrow!"
In the imperial tent, the generals were excited, and the angry shouts and curses filled the big tent.
The order was quickly conveyed, and the silent fighting spirit of the Wei soldiers in each battalion was once again ignited, and all of them were full of enthusiasm and eagerness to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
After nightfall, the smell of meat in the Wei camp was everywhere, Su Zhe killed chickens and slaughtered sheep, and the soldiers were full of good meat and wine, so that they could nourish their mental and physical strength.
The next day, the east turned white, and before dawn came, the gates of the various camps were all opened, and seventy or eighty thousand Wei soldiers, brightly dressed and armoured, clenched their swords and halberds, converged towards the enemy city like a cold current.
When the morning glow rose in the east, the 80,000 Wei troops had completed the formation, and the attack formation of black pressure was lined up on the east gate of Jiangzhou.
The Wei army's formation opened like a wave, and under the awe-inspiring gaze of thousands of soldiers, Su Zhe slowly rode his horse to the front of the formation.
Looking at the city bathed in the morning light from afar, Su Zhe did not drag the mud and water at all, and raised his horsewhip: "I won't say anything about the impassioned words, those who enter Jiangzhou City first will be rewarded!" Let's go. ”
Tom tom tom ~ ~
The rumbling drums of war shook the sky, breaking the silence of the early morning.
At the front of the formation, Huang Gai's big knife waved down and shouted: "Trebuchet, launch!" ”
Woowoo woo –
More than 400 trebuchets were launched at the same time, and countless stone projectiles rose into the air and roared towards the enemy city.
In the next moment, the sky and the earth cracked like a huge sound, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was shaking.
The rocks bombarded the city, and in the blink of an eye, stone chips splashed in the air, oppressing the enemy soldiers at the head of the city, and they could only squat under the battlements and tremble.
Jiangzhou City is a mountain and stone, and it is naturally impossible to break through it by trebuchets alone, and the long-range suppression of stone bullets is just to buy time for the infantry to attack the city.
After the third round of stone projectiles was fired, Lu Xun, the former enemy commander, raised his horse whip and shouted: "Siege team, start attacking!" ”
The sound of war drums suddenly became urgent, and the red battle flag shook like the wind, giving the order to attack thousands of Wei troops.
Tai Shici, Zhu Huan, Ling Tong, Deng Ai and other generals, with an order, led the generals of each battalion and began to approach Jiangzhou City.
The Han army at the head of the city was suppressed by the trebuchet to the point that they could not raise their heads, and could only watch as the Wei army's infantry approached calmly.
Soon, the Wei army advanced to the front of the moat, dozens of trench bridges were calmly erected, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the city wall with cloud ladders.
Trumpets sounded, and hundreds of ladders were raised from high trees and smashed against the battlements.
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, inspired by the generals, rushed towards the city, and in the blink of an eye, the entire city wall was paved.
The trebuchet could not be launched, and the Han army at the head of the city was finally able to show its head, and under Guan Yu's reprimand, they got up one after another and began to shoot.
Sharp arrows were shot down, flying stones were smashed down, and Wei soldiers continued to fall from the ladder, screaming one after another, and in a moment, the city wall was stained with blood.
This is where the offensive and defensive battles begin.
The Wei army attacked fiercely, Guan Yu was not a vegetarian, and he scolded his 50,000 soldiers, desperately resisting, and for a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
From early morning to noon, the siege lasted for more than three hours, and the Wei army paid thousands of corpses, but still failed to capture the city of Jiangzhou.
Su Zhe immediately took the Chinese army, looking at the fierce offensive and defensive battle from afar, although he couldn't attack for a long time, he couldn't see the slightest anxiety in his eyes.
At the head of Jiangzhou City, Guan Yu stood proudly with a horizontal sword, looking at the "Wei" imperial flag from a distance, his bare face burning with contempt and arrogance.
The Wei army has been attacking the city for half a day, with countless casualties, but no one can climb to the top of the city, this siege battle, it seems that it will end in his victory, of course he has arrogant capital.
He held the knife in one hand, stroked his beautiful hair with the other, and snorted coldly: "Su thief, do you think that you have won a game, and you want to storm Jiangzhou City, you also underestimate me Guan Yu too much, today I will let you taste the taste of the halberd city!" ”
