Chapter 31 This is the real feint
(The update is still so late, helpless; Or ask for a subscription~)
While trying his best to remain calm and command his soldiers to counterattack, Vice General Li was also thinking hard about countermeasures.
It's not a way to go on like this, the other party's perverted general's hand really shocked him, plus this enemy soldier who is only about 1,000 people but all of them are physically strong, even if they add 3,000 reinforcements, it is only 6,000 people, which is six times that of the other party, and it is difficult to occupy a psychological advantage.
Sometimes it's really hard to say about the heart of the army, and it is said that the mourning soldiers will win, but in many cases, it is difficult to say how the army at a low tide will burst out with greater combat effectiveness, just like the current defenders of Xingyang Beicheng, the atmosphere is depressed enough and the mood is depressed enough, but there is no sign of bottoming out at all, and some are just retreating.
The black-armored soldiers who climbed up the ladder were like hungry tigers like sheep, and one or two of the soldiers defending the city couldn't resist it at all, and they had to rush up to settle it, but the problem was that there were more than one or two people on the other side, and after the people in front of them poured up, after attracting the attention of the defenders, they would somewhat relax their vigilance in other directions, so it was an opportunity for others.
There are constantly enemy black-armored soldiers pouring up to the city tower, and the defenders of the north city who are several times larger than the enemy can not form an effective block, Vice General Li is unwilling and helpless at the moment, but he knows very well in his heart that General Xu Huang is willing to hand over such an important defense of the north city to himself, which means that he has full trust in himself, and he will definitely not be able to live up to his expectations, and now it seems that the strength of his side alone is not enough to complete the orders delivered by General Xu Huang. In desperation, he had no choice but to send someone over again.
Of course, it is impossible for him to tell the truth about the situation here, if he really says so, their nearly 6,000 soldiers will not be able to stop the attack of the enemy's 1,000 men, isn't it a joke?
Now the time is urgent, while only a part of the enemy army rushed up to the castle tower, but it was only under siege, and there were constantly people climbing the ladder below, but there was no way to carry a shield to block the arrows at this time, so there were more and more soldiers in the camp who were hit by arrows on the ladder or immediately fatal or fell down from the ladder and died, and there were not only those newcomers who were brought out. There are also some old people who originally belonged to the Eight Hundred Traps and were drawn out. It is inevitable that you will be hit.
But the robes who had climbed up the tower were still fighting and were their examples, so it was impossible for them to stop there.
And they did not hesitate to follow up and forward, and they were constantly putting pressure on the defenders of the city.
And at this time. The person sent by Vice Admiral Li for the second time to ask for help has already left. It is not so eye-catching in the confrontation between the two armies. In the cavalry army in the distance, Ji Zhao saw this scene from afar, so he lowered his head and leaned into the ear of the military advisor, that is, Lu Bu's henchman and strategist, Xihe Taishou Jia Xu, and said, "Zhao Fang just saw it." It seems that the city tower guard has sent people to leave again, and he should go to the east city to ask for help. β
Jia Xu couldn't help but stroke the short beard on his chin, and at this time, he also looked a little relieved, and laughed in a low voice: "I think it's time to do it, if we don't do it, whether we want to take this Beicheng here, I'm really a little uncertain." β
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the east city of Xingyang, the battle has entered the white heat, the counterattack on the city is very fierce, and all the soldiers, including those who have been requisitioned in the city, are willing to use their lives, and after a few of them died, they began to follow the defenders of the city tower to carry the equipment with the enemy.
The siege of the Dong coalition army outside the city was still continuing, and Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan, as the vanguard troops, were almost taking their lives to fill the gap leading from this side to the city tower.
Although Xu Huang arranged it well and orderly, with the passage of time, tens of thousands of enemy troops continued to attack, even if they lay down more corpses and destroyed more siege equipment, they still did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and they still attacked fiercely and rushed towards the city gate in various ways.
And it must also be taken into account that this is just the outside barracks tents that stretch for more than ten miles, a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, and now only tens of thousands of vanguard troops are excluded, can they really hold on?
When this kind of doubt comes to mind, it lingers like a nightmare, and it quickly becomes deeply rooted, and the more I think about it, the more I panic in my heart.
It was at this time that Beicheng's request for help came again, this time Xu Huang also didn't think much about it, but considering that the situation here is also beginning to be critical, and then 3,000 people here will be overstretched, this time only more than 1,000 people were sent over, but these more than 1,000 people are good at foot combat, and it is more conducive to play in the narrow space in Beicheng, after all, the people who heard for help say that the enemy army has rushed to the city tower, and at this time it is still such a person who is more effective.
Looking back at the present, in fact, the current scene is very tragic, but the number of casualties on both sides is not necessarily in line with this tragedy, Xu Huang also knows very well that the enemy's attrition will inevitably be more than his own side, but in fact, the number is limited.
At this time, the war looked very large, and the number of participants in the large-scale war was also very large.
Even in the face of a big city like Xingyang, the casualties in the siege battle should be the most, but when the statistics come later, I am afraid that there will be some surprises.
In many cases, the winning side of the war is not the victory in the complete or most of the destruction of the enemy army, but the other side loses its temper, and the end of the war is often the end of the surrender of one side, and the other side naturally wins, unless it is the use of external forces such as flooding, fire attack, etc., resulting in more casualties.
In addition to the fact that the enemy's continuous offensive is backed by the alliance army, has a large number of fresh forces, and has a psychological advantage as the main attacking side, the more important reason is this-anyway, there are not many dead people, and they are not defeated, so let's continue to attack.
What Xu Huang didn't expect was that when he was tortured and overwhelmed, Beicheng came several times to ask for help, and at the beginning, Xu Huang still arranged for people to go over as usual, and in order to avoid a next time, he simply transferred 3,000 people again this time, these people used to estimate that the city tower over there was also about to reach the limit of crowding, and the space was small and had to accommodate so many people.
But again, he was a little suspicious, and under several interrogations, the soldier who was sent showed his horse's feet, and what he said was that the preface did not match the afterword, and the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth, and Xu Huang pressed him again, and he couldn't help but tell the truth completely.
Xu Huang was so hateful after hearing this, he wanted to pick up the axe and run to Beicheng to look down on the head of Vice General Li, who he had always relied on, to give himself a night pot, but he was not such an impulsive person after all, not to mention that he couldn't leave here, so he said that if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't blame Vice General Li for this matter, especially because there was something wrong here, such as where did the army that attacked Beicheng come from, and where did the 1,000 first-ascending black armor army come from?
Xu Huang subconsciously looked at the arrogant figure sitting on the back of the red horse, just at this time the other party also raised his head The two sides looked at each other, Xu Huang actually found that he was laughing, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: Maybe this Dongcheng is not a feint attack at all.
In fact, if you feint to attack the current Cheng dΓΉ, the price to pay is too great, it is better to go all out to capture Beicheng; But I'm afraid that at this time in the north of the city, is the real feint, the purpose is also very simple, that is, to deceive the people on their side constantly, they didn't think of this aspect at all, and they continue to send people over to support, now it seems that the other party's hand has been half of the success, and there are fewer people on the east side of the city, and it is very difficult to deal with the offensive here.
But he faintly felt that there was more than that, and there seemed to be something else on Lu Bu's smile at the moment. (To be continued......)
