565. Countermeasures that lose their meaning
As Liu Xun's soldiers in this fort came out to surrender one after another, Pang Yan also sent people to escort the generals and generals of the main army formation in the rear.
Then Pang Yan led the troops to adjust the direction, but he didn't attack another fort, but just asked people to go there and spread the words loudly, "Wait and listen, if you are interested, come out and surrender quickly, otherwise that fort is an example!" The general of my family said, this time, I am too lazy to attack you again, and let you wait for a while! ”
And the guard in this fort is Jiang Qin who is ambushed here, of course, there are two deputy generals below him who are Liu Xun's generals, so he originally only controlled about one-third of the manpower in the fort, but only three or four hundred.
However, because of the defeat of the soldiers outside the city yesterday, the number of soldiers in the fort has now reached 15 or 600, so that the number of people that Jiang Qin can control is a little less in terms of the overall proportion.
Therefore, Jiang Qin wanted to drive the soldiers in the entire fort to surrender, but it was not an easy task.
At this time, after listening to the words coming from outside, Jiang Qin knew that it was the general Pang Yan who knew about his existence, so there would be such an arrangement, so now he deliberately looked at the two deputy generals around him and said, "Two, what should we do now?" The matter on the other side can be in front of us, I am afraid that Zhu Wei's army will attack at that time, and we will have no backhand! Alas, it's better for us to find an opportunity to rush out, and we can still fight! ”
Standing beside Jiang Qin, the two generals Liu Xun, of course, also saw what happened in the opposite fort, seeing that the fort on the opposite side had no backhand power and could only go out of the fort to ask for surrender, even Liu Xun felt that they were not guilty of surrendering, and naturally understood that the fort where they were located, if they really encountered such a situation, they were afraid that they would be powerless in defense.
But if they go out to fight and die, the two of them are also a little unwilling, and they are also a little lacking in courage, but on the surface, they don't dare to say it directly, so the two hesitated for a while, and one of them spoke, "Captain Jiang, now that Zhu Wei's army has not yet come to attack, why should we send them to death in vain, maybe after this time, Liu Gong can think of other strategies, but let us return to the city, it is not known!" ”
"Not bad, not bad! Captain Jiang, it's not that we spare our lives, but we can't die in vain, then Zhu Wei's army is really a strong enemy, yesterday I have already seen their combat strength, if we rely on the protection of the fort and the city, or there is a chance to win, if we go out to fight, I am afraid that there is no chance of victory! ”
Another general Liu Xun also hurriedly agreed, anyway, they were definitely not willing to lead their troops out to commit suicide.
Of course, Jiang Qin was only talking tentatively, seeing the two of them in such a posture, his heart was secretly happy, in this way, he seemed to have a chance to persuade the two to surrender, or let them lead the troops to flee back to the city, so that he could use the fort to secretly help the general Pang Yan.
"Alas, I only hope that Zhu Wei's army can still give us some time, otherwise when those falling rocks come, I am afraid that we will only have to wait for death!"
On the surface, Jiang Qin still sighed, as if he was deeply worried about this, as if he was also very afraid of the thunderbolt throwing car in Zhu Wei's army.
When the two Liu Xunbu generals heard this, they looked at the thunderbolt throwing cart of Zhu Wei's army from a distance from the stake and arrow mouth on the fortress platform, and their eyes also showed a little fear, but they looked at the surrendered people who were escorted away by Zhu Wei's army, and the eyes of the two couldn't help but show a little stupidity.
However, for the time being, let's not talk about how the soldiers in the fort on Jiang Qin's side had a change in their hearts, only that Pang Yan immediately reorganized the army and faced the direction of Chengchi in Anhui, and he divided about a thousand people to turn their heads to face the side of the fort where Jiang Qin was, which seemed to be a defensive posture on this side.
Then, Pang Yan commanded the army to prepare to launch an attack on the city of Anhui County, but at the beginning, more than a dozen cave house carts naturally pushed forward, and the auxiliary soldiers hiding in the middle began to fill in the moat of Anhui County in front of the battle.
In this regard, Liu Xun on the gate tower of Anhui County was a little helpless again, originally the two military forts he set up outside the city were to deal with this situation, after all, it is no secret that the equipment used by Zhu Wei's army to attack the city is not a secret.
Some forces have even pirated the means, and will build this kind of cave house car when attacking the city, this kind of cave house car is really nothing special in technology, that is, to create a large car frame that can protect the people inside.
However, since this siege method is not a secret, naturally some people have come up with a way to crack it, and setting up a fort outside the city like Liu Xun is a special response to the use of siege equipment by the besieging party.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wei came up with something like a thunderbolt stone thrower, so that the fortress set up by Liu Xun outside could not play a role at all.
Originally, Zhu Weijun had the equipment to throw gravel, which was also discovered, but the gravel is still gravel after all, just like a feather arrow, as long as you use a shield to protect it, so it is not too threatening to defend the city.
Therefore, even if Zhu Wei used the kind of equipment that threw rubble, it might not be able to threaten the defenders in the fort, as long as there were these forts outside the city, he could send troops to attack the equipment used in the siege at any time.
After all, the distance between these siege equipment and the city is not too far, as long as the defenders attacking in the fort force a surprise attack, there is still a chance to destroy these siege equipment.
As long as they can destroy these siege equipment, it will naturally ease the siege strength of Zhu Wei's army.
And it will definitely take a lot of time for Zhu Wei's army to rebuild this kind of equipment, and if it comes and goes, the time of defending the city will naturally be greatly extended, and the consumption of Zhu Wei's army may not be able to keep up.
At the same time, the range of the soldiers in these forts is also within the range of the feather arrows of the defenders on the city wall, as long as they raid and destroy the siege equipment of Zhu Wei's army, and then withdraw to the side of the fort, the defenders in the city can also cover the soldiers attacking from the fort.
It can be said that this can be regarded as a countermeasure to Zhu Wei's use of siege equipment to form siege tactics.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wei now has a device like a thunderbolt stone thrower, and the rocks thrown out in this way are too terrifying, smashing them all at once, not to mention using a double-arc hand shield to resist, even if he holds a big shield, he will smash people into flesh at once.
By now, the fort that was originally placed outside the city has lost its original meaning, and the army inside the city does not dare to attack easily.
After all, if the army in the city attacked, it would be easy for the siege army on Zhu Wei's side to take advantage of the situation to fight back, and directly break through the open city gate and enter the city.
In this way, the current situation in front of the city of Anhui County has entered the normal state of Zhu Wei's army when attacking the city, and Liu Xun, who is defending the city, can only watch Zhu Wei's army's cave house car fill the moat, paving the way for the subsequent Zhu Wei army to climb and attack the city.
As for the soldier fort that was still kept outside the city at this time, naturally he didn't dare to come out with any soldiers, anyway, Jiang Qin would definitely not take the initiative to send troops out, if Liu Xun ordered it, then it would be said at that time.
Isn't this still threatened by Zhu Wei's army, what if they send troops and Zhu Wei's army is transferred to fight their fort first.
Therefore, the situation is like this, everyone can only watch as Zhu Wei's auxiliary soldiers controlling the cave house car fill the moat, waiting for the next battle to continue......
