238. The only way to attack Qiantang is to storm it

"Prince, with these more than 2,000 crossbow machines, it is the best, Wei intends to organize all the soldiers under the prince into crossbowmen and archers, or it may pose some threat to Zhu Zhi's thief soldiers!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Wei spoke again, although Zhu Wei was a little hot for the two thousand two hundred crossbow machines in Wang Lang's hand, it was impossible to ask for them directly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, if all the poorly trained soldiers on Wang Lang's side were turned into ranged troops, it would indeed be more effective than letting them fight in close combat.

"It's all up to you!"

Wang Lang obviously didn't care about any of this, in fact, Wang Lang was also handed over to Zhou Xin to be responsible for the soldiers and horses that would be able to be checked before, and now he was ready to hand over the shopkeeper to Zhu Wei.

In this way, this meeting with Wang Lang is almost over, Zhu Wei, Wang Yuyan, and Mu Lan said goodbye and left, as for military matters, they will be discussed after meeting with Zhou Xin tomorrow.

On this day, Zhu Wei returned to the barracks with Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan.

But he didn't want to return to the barracks, Ling Cao sent Zhu Wei another piece of good news, it turned out that Zhu Wei had seen the opposition military general Dong Xian in the intelligence list before, and he actually took the initiative to contact Ling Cao and was ready to take refuge in Zhu Wei.

This Dong Xi and Ling Cao can also be regarded as acquaintances, although Ling Cao was active in Yuhang, Wu County before, and Dong Xi's main activity was on the side of Huiji Yuyao, but they are both people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and they can be regarded as more or less met.

This Dong Xi is really the same as Ling Cao, he is from a wealthy family in Huiji, but he belongs to a poor family, and he has no chance to be an official, this time he heard that Zhu Wei came to Huiji, and he heard that Ling Cao had voted for Zhu Wei, and he was also moved.

Although Dong Xi only sent news to Ling Cao now, and he himself has not come over, but after Zhu Wei learned about this, he immediately met the person sent by Dong Xian, saying that he welcomed Dong Xian very much, and when Dong Xi came, at least there would be a deputy general position at the Sima level in other departments that could be held.

Then Zhu Wei asked Ling Cao to entertain the person sent by Dong Xi to have a meal of wine and meat, and then asked him to reply to Dong Xi, this person happily ate and drank, and then quickly went back to report.

After this episode passed, on the second day, Zhu Wei took Wang Yuyan and Mu Lan to Wang Lang's military camp outside Shanyin County.

Zhou Xin, the commander of the military camp here, was already waiting for Zhu Wei, and Yu Fu, the strategist next to Wang Lang, was also here, Zhou Xin invited Zhu Wei to enter the barracks and sit down at the head of the military tent, and then sat down himself.

This Zhou Xin looks a little literal, but he is tall, more than one meter and eight, and there seem to be a few scars on his face, perhaps left by the previous war, no wonder his charm value is not high, which is also an inevitable thing to be a military general.

"Captain Zhou, I heard that you once gathered in Xuzhou with Wei's father, and I saw you today, Wei is very lucky!"

Although Zhu Wei sat on the main general's seat, he still saluted Zhou Xin first, expressing his respect for Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin got up and returned the salute, in fact, he was still a little worried about Zhu Wei, although he had also heard a lot about Zhu Wei, but Zhu Wei was only a young boy in his early twenties after all, Zhou Xin himself may not have much ability, but he can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield, he really didn't worry about the more than 7,000 soldiers under his control, so he handed it over to a hairy boy.

But now his impression of Zhu Wei is still good, so he also returned the salute to Zhu Wei slightly, and said, "From the son, it can be vaguely seen that Zhu Gong's heroic posture at the beginning, this time Taishou let the prince preside over the military, Xin Zi should obey the son's orders!" It's just that now the 7,000 new soldiers in this army are poor in combat strength, and I don't know how the son is going to arrange it! ”

"I have already talked with the prince yesterday, Wei intends to use more than 2,000 soldiers to form a crossbow army array, and then use 3,000 soldiers to hold bows, and the rest of the soldiers are guarded by swords and shields, and Wei brings 3,000 elites to attack the enemy's main army, and then we will talk about specific strategies!"

Zhu Wei could feel Zhou Xin's unease, so he said the arrangement he said to Wang Lang yesterday again, and it was basically arranged like this.

"Oh, it's not bad to arrange it this way, it's just three thousand bows, and swords, shields, and leather armor......"

Zhou Xin was a little relieved when he heard that Zhu Wei had basically arranged these soldiers under him as long-range troops, but when he thought of the equipment in his army, the only thing he could do was two thousand two hundred crossbows, but the other three thousand Han army strong bows were not ready.

Now although the 5,000 weapons and equipment purchased by Zhu Wei for Wang Lang have been sent to the treasury of Shanyin County, Wang Lang has not informed Zhou Xin, so Zhou Xin does not know this, so he naturally has less confidence.

"Captain Zhou rest assured, Wei has already brought 5,000 military resources to the prince, plus Wei has a strong bow, he should be able to prepare 3,000 of them, and the next guard will send ordnance to the army! Then Zhou Duwei, let's discuss how to deal with Qiantang Zhu Zhi first! ”

Zhu Wei knew what Zhou Xin was worried about, so he appeased the problem first, and then Zhu Wei glanced at Mu Lan, who was carrying a package on his back again, but it was a map of Qiantang County and its surroundings.

So Mu Lan took out the map and spread it out on the ground of the military tent, which couldn't help but make Zhou Xin and Yu Yu, who were also in the tent, stunned, they didn't expect Zhu Wei to have such an accurate map of Qiantang County in his hand.

Then Wang Yuyan stood in front of the map, took a branch and pointed on the map and said, "This Qiantang County is located by the river, there are lakes in the county, there are hills by the lake, although the county is not big, but it is also surrounded by cities and rivers, so it is not easy to storm Qiantang!" ”

In fact, Qiantang County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was not a big city, because there was a West Lake in it, so there was a water gate connected to the West Lake in Qiantang County, and a land gate to enter and exit.

When Zhu Zhi was in Qiantang County, he did not have the idea of raising the city wall, but Qiantang County had sufficient water from the Qiantang River and the West Lake, so its moat also became a natural barrier to defend the city.

If Zhu Wei had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at the beginning, it would not be difficult to storm a Qiantang County, but now the troops in Zhu Wei's hands, plus the troops of Huiji Wang Lang, are more than 10,000 people, and the training and morale of Wang Lang's soldiers are not high, if he storms Qiantang County, I am afraid that in the end, everyone will die, and he may not be able to capture Qiantang County.

Although this Zhu Zhi is a mediocre person in the Three Kingdoms game, but a mediocre person also has the advantage of mediocrity, that is, he can keep his duty, and he will only defend the city when he should defend the city.

Therefore, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan discussed it before, but they really didn't find a way to lure Zhu Zhi out without attacking Qiantang County.

So although it is not easy to storm Qiantang County, but now it seems that this method can only be used, Wang Yuyan paused, and then said again, "Now there are not many soldiers in our army that can fight, and Zhu Zhi will not go out of the city easily, although he is unwilling, but he can only find a way to attack the city, after Yu discussed with the lord, he thought of a strategy, or he could open the water gate of Qiantang County!" ”

Listening to Wang Yuyan's words, Zhou Xin and Yu Chuan were slightly stunned, originally listening to Wang Yuyan's words, they really thought that Zhu Wei was going to use a trick to trick Zhu Zhi out of Qiantang County or something, but now Wang Yuyan actually said that he was going to prepare to attack Qiantang County, which is a little too difficult......
