Speaking of which, the Yuan army controlled by Yuan Shang is indeed the elite soldiers in the north accumulated by Yuan Shao for many years, and in terms of the personal combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the coordination of the formation between the soldiers, it is not much inferior to Zhu Weijun.

Therefore, with the continuation of the war, the Yuan army fought several defensive counterattacks with the help of Yuan Shang's structural arrangement in the camp, and finally Zhu Weijun could not get the results, and gradually became tired of fighting, and could not help but be killed back by Yuan Jun to the periphery of the camp.

For such a battle situation, Tai Shici has no choice.

Although this time, as the main general of the forward, he did not go into battle to charge and fight, and was mainly responsible for commanding the battle, but he also sent many generals to the forefront to lead the troops to charge into battle.

However, in the face of the arrow tower fortress arranged by Yuan Shang in the camp, and in the face of the dense arrow deterrence of Yuan Shangjun's archers and crossbow archers, even the generals whose martial arts surpassed ordinary soldiers could only return with their feathers, and forcibly rushing up to kill them was to find their own death.

The generals of the Divine Arrow Battalion, such as Chen Ying and Chen Wu, were all shot by crossbow arrows, and at least on their armor, four crossbow arrows could be clearly seen, which should have pierced into their bodies.

In addition, Zang Ba's Taishan army is still temporarily attached to the Divine Arrow Camp and fights together.

At this time, several Taishan brave generals, including Zang Ba, were also injured, which shows that they also made great efforts in this battle, and they did not fish in idleness.

However, the situation of the war is like this, and it is really not something that can be easily reversed by manpower.

It can only be said that this time Tai Shi Ci's Divine Arrow Battalion has been fighting with all its might, but Yuan Jun is indeed prepared to play defensive counterattack tactics, even if Tai Shi Ci's Divine Arrow Battalion is an elite army, it has not been able to achieve any gratifying results.

Zhu Wei naturally found out that the battle ahead was not going well in the rear, and saw that the troops that had originally attacked Yuan Shang's camp had retreated back one after another, so he also rang the retreat and let the front army retreat first.

Fortunately, when Zhu Weijun retreated, the thunderbolt catapult and mobile arrow tower that were originally built outside Yuan Shang's camp were able to play a covering role, so that Yuan Shangjun did not dare to chase him closely.

Therefore, this battle can only be regarded as a small victory for Zhu Weijun, after all, the destruction of the outer wall of Yuan Shang's camp can be regarded as allowing Zhu Weijun to occupy part of the camp.

At least Zhu Weijun's side will definitely publicize it like this, this is also a way to ensure morale, as for Yuan Shang's side, he will naturally make a big announcement about repelling Zhu Weijun and winning today's big victory, which is also an encouragement to morale.

Although Zhu Wei asked Tai Shici to collect the army back, he did not withdraw all kinds of war equipment at the forefront of the battlefield, and Zhu Wei sent more than 10,000 soldiers from the middle military camp to replace the withdrawn army of the Divine Arrow Battalion, so that Pan Zhang could guard the results obtained so far for the remaining generals.

Otherwise, all of Zhu Wei's troops would retreat, and Yuan Shangjun would be able to easily come back and destroy the improvised bridges built on the chasm, and then next time he would need to waste time building these bridges.

Anyway, Zhu Wei now has enough troops, and he can leave an army here to guard it twenty-four hours a day, and when Zhu Wei launches another offensive, he can replace them with other armies.

In fact, today's battle can only be regarded as Zhu Weijun's tentative attack on Yuan Shangjun, that is, he wants to test Yuan Shangjun's combat effectiveness.

It's just that Zhu Wei didn't expect that this battle would actually test more problems, and in the face of Yuan Shang's defensive means in the camp, it really made Zhu Wei's side a little nerve-wracking.

Yuan Shang obviously thought of the possibility that Zhu Wei would use fire to burn down the camp, so there would be a fire barrier at every distance in the camp, so that Zhu Wei would not be able to set fire to his entire camp.

In this case, unless Zhu Wei's army advances steadily step by step, it will be possible to break through Yuan Shang's step-by-step defensive means.

That is, with the attack of the army in front, the thunderbolt catapult, mobile arrow tower and other equipment will be transported up, so as to destroy the layers of arrow tower fortress that Yuan Shang has constructed in the camp.

As long as Yuan Shangjun can find an opportunity to kill the Thunderbolt Catapult and the mobile arrow tower, he can destroy these two offensive weapons, thus depriving Zhu Weijun of the means to suppress Yuan Shangjun's defense.

Zhu Wei can imagine that the next battle will inevitably fall into a state of anxiety, and the two sides will rush and kill each other in order to destroy each other's defense and offensive means.

If such a war continues, it will certainly greatly delay the time spent on the war.

It can be said that if Zhu Wei hadn't been able to get grain and grass with the help of the Three Kingdoms game system, and he didn't need to transport grain and grass supplies from the rear, it would have been impossible for anyone to fight with Yuan Shangjun in Liyang for a long time like this.

Yuan Shang obtained supplies from Yecheng, the distance was very close, and the consumption on the road was relatively small, and if Zhu Wei transported supplies from the rear, even if he transported grain and grass materials from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, by waterway, it would take several times as long as Yuan Shang's side.

In addition, it is necessary to calculate the consumption on the road, generally speaking, ten percent of the logistics supplies are transported to the front, and only one or two may be left.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Zhu Wei to hold on to Liyang's side for too long, and once the time drags on, with the shortage of grain and grass for Zhu Wei's army, he may eventually withdraw because of the problem of grain and grass.

Fortunately, the current situation is different, Zhu Wei does not have to worry about logistics and supply for the time being, Zhu Wei can directly take out the grain and grass needed by the army from the grain stock of the Three Kingdoms game system, which can greatly alleviate the logistics problem.

At the same time, the Northern Expedition strategy formulated by Jia Xu for Zhu Wei before also hid a trick, so now Zhu Wei's war with Yuan Shang on Liyang's side is delaying time, which is actually nothing.

However, at this time, Zhu Wei had also ordered Pang Yan's Xiong Lu battalion to also send troops from the south to attack the logistics supply lines sent by Dangyin and Yuan Shang from Yecheng to Liyang, and he could also attack the defensive camp constructed by Yuan Shang from the south.

As the Xionglu battalion of the first army in Zhu Wei's army, there were enough troops and strength to flank Yuan Shang's army in the south, and with the assistance of Zhuge Liang and Yi, Pang Yan would not be deceived by the tactics of Yuan Shang's advisers.

Anyway, Zhu Wei wanted to make Yuan Shang think that Zhu Wei was doing his best to start a decisive battle with him in Liyang, and Zhu Wei wanted to put Yuan Shang's attention on Liyang's side.

In this way, after Zhu Wei and his subordinates and generals discussed specific tactics, Zhu Weijun began to launch a steady offensive against Yuan Shangjun, for which Zhu Weijun first filled in a passage in front of Yuan Shangjun's camp.

Then Zhu Weijun once again pushed all kinds of siege machinery to advance steadily into Yuan Shangjun's camp, removing all obstacles along the way, thus forcing Yuan Shangjun to retreat step by step.

Now with strategic military machinery such as the Thunderbolt Catapult, even if Yuan Shang constructs more arrow tower fortresses, it is difficult to resist the rock damage thrown out by the Thunderbolt Catapult.

As long as there was no obstacle from these arrow tower fortresses, Zhu Weijun would naturally be able to repel Yuan Shangjun's army on the frontal battlefield.

Although the losses of Zhu Weijun and Yuan Shangjun in such a head-on battle were not small, in general, Zhu Wei had tens of thousands of reserve troops on the Luoyang side, and at the same time, after defeating Cao Cao before, Zhu Wei also had a large number of Cao army's strong prisoners on the Puyang side who could be used as a supplementary source of troops, so Zhu Wei could replenish the current troop consumption at any time.

It can be said that this kind of battle situation is a means of war for Zhu Wei to solve the main force of the Yuan army and reduce obstacles for the follow-up conquest of the entire northern territory......
