Chapter 357: The Battle of Qu County
"Haha, the boss still knows me, what a certain family is good at is fighting tough battles, and fighting to the death has always been my style!" After Sun Guan learned of the plan, he regained his confidence.
Isn't it just three days, even if you fill it with your life, you can fill it out for three days!
"Report! The second master, the people of Xuzhou are here! ”
Just as Sun Guan was secretly making up his mind, a trembling voice interrupted his fantasy.
"The military will follow me to the city to have a look?" Sun Guan said and looked at Shan Fu.
Through a short conversation, Shan Fu won Sun Guan's respect.
"It's good!" Under Shan Fu's calm expression, his heart was also beating violently. Some things are easy to say, but to do them, they are very difficult.
"The Xuzhou Army is really not simple." Standing at the head of the city, Shan Fu exclaimed.
The Xuzhou army has begun to set up camp, and although it is scattered, Shan Fu smells of conspiracy from it.
"The army is divided into three parts...... Two camped and one defended...... There is no possibility of a sneak attack at all! And even the people who are camped are still armed, and sure enough, they are well-trained, and it seems that it is not easy to defend the city! Shan Fu sighed, his expression a little more solemn.
"Military advisor, don't want to let others lose their prestige, I want to see what the Xuzhou soldiers have to do to capture this city." At this time, Sun Guan said with some pride.
Listening to Sun Guan's words, Shan Fu just smiled and did not answer.
Although there are a lot of Taishan thieves, if they fight head-on, they are not the opponents of the Xuzhou army at all, and the only way to win is to rely on strategy, and if the strategy wants to take effect, it is necessary to hold the city first.
"Strategist, where do you say the boss is now?" Sun Guan suddenly asked in a low voice.
I saw Sun Guan's expression indescribably nervous.
"It turns out that what I said just now is just to boost morale......" Shan Fu smiled slightly and looked at the depressed city guards around him, and couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Who knows? But the big boss will definitely not disappoint us! Shan Fu didn't know if he was comforting Sun Guan or comforting himself.
Whether it is the strength or the soldiers, there is a big difference between the Xuzhou army, and even Shan Fu's confidence is very insufficient.
The people of the city were busy until the sun went down.
The night was spent in the tension of the people in the city, the Xuzhou army did not attack at night, and no one in the city went out to steal the camp.
The next day, the sun rose early, and there were only a few white clouds floating in the sky.
Looking at the Xuzhou army gathered outside the city, the expression on Shan Fu's face was unusually calm, but in his heart, he was still trembling, more than 20,000 troops gathered under the county seat of Quxian County, and the momentum alone was terrifying.
"Second master, you take someone down to rest!" Seeing that the Xuzhou army began to assemble, Shan Fushu's brows furrowed and said to Sun Guan next to him.
"Are you doing it alone?" Sun Guan looked at Shan Fu's thin body with distrust.
"At this time, the morale is still there, the military spirit is available, and naturally there is no need for the second master! The second leader not only has to go down, but also has to take the army of 3,000 to rest! Shan Fu's face was a little gloomy.
"Isn't there only a thousand people in the city?" Sun Guan's face was full of worry, although Shan Fu's senses had improved somewhat, it was inevitable that he would have some suspicions.
"Looking at the posture of the enemy army, it is obvious that the wheel battle will consume us, I am afraid that after today, the second leader will not be able to leave the city wall!" Shan Fu said solemnly.
Sun Guan immediately looked at the city, and saw that the Xuzhou army under the city was only less than a quarter of the army, and he immediately believed Shan Fu's words.
"Why don't they besiege the city with an army?" Sun Guan still did not completely let go of his doubts, the number of the Xuzhou army was five or six times that of his own, and the siege was more than enough.
"Aren't they just trying to make us abandon the city and flee? And this purpose is very clear, and I don't even bother to use the method of encircling three missing one! There was a touch of bitterness on Shan Fu's face.
The Xuzhou army is now completely overwhelming people with power......
"Take care! If you can't do anything, send someone to call me! Sun Guan patted Shan Fu on the shoulder, beckoned people and went down the city wall.
Shan Fu is confident that he can hold the first wave of the offensive......
Because at this time, there is a moat, and the materials for defending the city in the city are also the most neat, and the people outside the city will definitely try to attack first in order to prevent heavy losses, at least they will attack after the moat is filled!
But Shan Fu only has the confidence to hold the first wave, as long as the moat is filled, the Xuzhou army has the opportunity to rush to the city, and under the short-handed battle, the advantage will soon fall to the side of the Xuzhou army, and then it can only be resigned to fate.
"Can this really be done?"
Shan Fu couldn't help but start to doubt his decision......
With the decision of Shan Fu and Sun Guan, Chen Deng and others outside the city also gave the order to attack the city.
There are wise men like Chen Deng in the Xuzhou army, so naturally they will not rush to the whole army, but his strategy is to make Shan Fu at the head of the city a little bitter.
I saw nearly 2,000 cavalry rushing out of the Xuzhou army, each holding a large shield, and carrying two sandbags on the war horse at the same time, and under a closer look, the entire horse was surrounded by cooked cowhide.
"What a strategy for a war horse to fill the river!" Shan Fu couldn't help but hold his forehead and groaned.
Being able to use the cavalry, the least good at attacking cities, to such an extent, Shan Fu couldn't help but start to admire Chen Deng......
"It seems that it is impossible to save arrows......" Shan Fu muttered and gave an order.
Although the war horses of the Xuzhou army were a little unable to increase their speed because of too much weight, they were still far faster than the speed of people running.
In a few moments, he was within range of the city's bows and arrows, and was rapidly approaching the moat.
With Shan Fu's order, a dark cloud appeared above the head of the Xuzhou cavalry, and the swarthy arrows smashed down like a torrential rain.
Although it was difficult for the arrows to pass through the big shield, and although the horses were wrapped in cowhide, the arrows that continued to fall on the head of the city still caused casualties to the Xuzhou cavalry.
But obviously, the team of archers of hundreds of people in the city, whether it is the density of arrows, the continuity or even the penetration of arrows, is not enough to deal a devastating blow to the tightly wrapped Xuzhou army.
After the Xuzhou cavalry threw down the sandbag, they turned around and left, and the speed of the war horse minimized the chance of the arrow coming to the ground!
But Shan Fu still didn't order to stop shooting, and now as long as these arrows can delay the Xuzhou army's river reclamation action, Shan Fu is already satisfied......
Shan Fu's hands tightened, and he hesitantly glanced at a few bed crossbows on the head of the city, but he still didn't use them.
"If this crossbow could go up to ten...... There is no need to use it so carefully...... "Shan Fu is quite a bit of a clever woman, and it is difficult to cook without rice.
After all, the Taishan thief is a bandit, and these city defense equipment is too lacking!
