Chapter 18 The bitter battle to capture the city was unsuccessful, and Huo Yi offered a plan

However, Liu Xun soon discovered that the interval between the trebuchet's attacks was too long, and his archers would only have a wave of stones every time they shot a dozen rounds of arrows, so that they could completely avoid these casualties by grasping the rhythm of the enemy army.

The car approached the city wall, but the Jingzhou army in the car did not dare to rush out of the car, and countless rolling stones and sassholes fell, and the momentum was amazing. In addition to rushing the car, the Jingzhou army also temporarily rushed to make dozens of vehicles and well railings, and after most of the ladders were erected on the city, the car well railings slowly set off.

The trebuchet stopped firing.

The archers at the head of the city did not hesitate to shoot the enemy troops under the city.

At this time, the well fence of the car was already close to the city wall, and with the height of the car, the archers in the car suppressed the defenders of the city with bows and arrows.

The defenders of the city used rockets to shoot at the railings, and from time to time siege equipment was destroyed.

At this time, the firepower on the city was suppressed, the rolling wood and stones were greatly reduced, and the rushing car moved to the weak position of the city wall, and the rushing car with a special break through the city gate went straight to the city gate.

The two sides fought fiercely, and countless means were used.

Although Liu Xun was born as a son, he led more soldiers than Liu Jiyu, and his brain was even more energetic than a young man. Even at the moment when the two sides were deadlocked, he also sent a small number of dead cavalry to rush out of the city gate, burning countless engineering equipment such as rushing vehicles.

And in the city, Liu Xun also specially mobilized some sharpshooters in one place, and let Liu Zhen, who is also a clan, lead them, and shoot and kill the Jingzhou army officers in the field of vision.

For a time, the siege was frustrated, the two sides were injured by each other, it was almost noon, the sun in May was already very violent, Liu Bei had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army, at this time Wu Yi in the south felt that he had no way to start, and the defenders of the southern city did not relax their vigilance no matter how they fought elsewhere.

Ruocheng seems to be already a monolith, and people have nowhere to speak.

Wei Yan's strategy was obviously miscalculated.

Liu Bei once again summoned the generals, after all, they worked together, and the generals in the account all offered a lot of strategies, but they had no choice but to have inevitable flaws, or just blindly attacked, all of which were vetoed by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was helpless, was there only one way left? Suffering from his imposability, he looked at Pang Tong hopefully, but saw Pang Tong looking at another person steadily, Liu Bei followed his gaze and saw Huo Yi behind Chen Zhi, at this time Huo Yi's eyes were clear, as if he was confident.

At this time, Pang Tong, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly spoke: "General Huo, how do you think our army should capture Yucheng." ”

Huo Yi looked at Pang Tong in surprise, and wondered why he had just had a countermeasure, and this Pang Tong seemed to have expected it, and directly called his name.

Huo Yi got up and said, "There will be a plan in the end!" ”

Liu Bei got up excitedly: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Whoa! The city of Ruocheng is thick and the defenders are very numerous, and it is not advisable to storm it all the way, even if we take the city, our army will suffer heavy casualties! ”

"Nonsense! We all know this reason, but the question is how to take this city if it is not attacked? Wei Yan sneered.

Huo Yi glanced at Wei Yan, "Since you can't take it by storming, and it's useless to outwit it, it's better not to take it." ”

"Don't take it? Hahaha, you kid is interesting, if you don't take this city, how can my army go south to capture Chengdu? Wei Yan smiled again.

Huo Yi would not have the same knowledge as this well-known backbone-based Wei Yan, but said lightly: "Our army can bypass Ruocheng and go straight to Chengdu." ”

"Our army's food, grass and baggage are all in Mianzhu, if we don't take the city, if our army takes a detour, won't it be a dead end?" Huang Zhong doubted.

"Old general, the people of Ruocheng don't know where our army's food and grass are. Our army only needs to go straight to Chengdu, and at that time, Liu Xun is eager to save his father, and he will definitely go out of the city to outflank our army's back road, and if he goes out of the city, then he will not think about going back.

General Wu can still ambush the south of the city, waiting for Liu Xun's troops to come out, the defenders in the city must be careless, General Wu broke into the city, control the gates of the city, so that our army or turn around and attack Liu Xun, or find a hidden place to ambush it, Liu Xun will only return to the city after defeat, but at this time, the city is already in my hands! Huo Yi said lightly.

"Good! What a teenager Huo Yi! Pang Tong stood up after hearing this, and said in admiration.

"Lord, I think this plan is feasible!" Fa Zheng seconded.

Liu Bei also laughed, he laughed not only because he was able to capture the city again, but also because he had one more character who could stand alone, and then thought: This kid is still too young, and after two years of training, he will become a great weapon.

Liu Bei nodded: "All armies are ready to pull out the camp and arrange it according to General Huo's original words." Tomorrow night, I'm going to have a celebration banquet in the city! ”

"Whoa!"
