The so-called siege of the city is not like in some poorly produced film and television works, where groups of soldiers carry a bamboo ladder, rush to the city wall to erect the bamboo ladder, and then climb all the way...... If you do this, there will be no other result than to have the enemy directly behead one by one.

The truly realistic siege of the city is a huge siege machine that is not shorter than the city wall slowly under the city wall, and then in the roar, the gangplank of the ladder falls, and the soldiers rush all the way to the city wall; At the same time, the archers on the shaft began to suppress the "shooting", the catapults were bombarded indiscriminately at the crowded places on the city walls, and the rushing carts covered with cowhide and water began to ram the gates with huge wooden cones......

Yes, the so-called siege warfare is actually a comprehensive duel between machinery and courage, and courage alone or the strength of the crowd does not necessarily lead to victory.

No matter how many people there are, no matter how brave they are, what is the use of not being able to rush through the city walls or break through the city gates?

Only by relying on sufficient siege equipment to give full play to the superiority of troops, as is the case now, can it be regarded as a battle with a chance of victory. Adventure 30

Cheng Peng rode a jade chasing horse, holding an ice spear, staring at the battlefield.

His soldiers had already rushed to the wall of the Cao Cao army camp, and were fighting with the Cao Cao army, which was resisting to the death.

Although the quality of Cao Ren's subordinates is relatively high, his subordinates have a significantly higher morale - in the game, the actual combat effectiveness of a soldier is equal to the basic quality multiplied by the general bonus multiplied by the morale bonus.

This means that Cheng Pengjun's military superiority has been fully brought into play.

War is not a game, there is no such thing as "seeing that the traitor is about to hang, but as a result, a lightning bolt of loyal ministers chopped the monarch to death" This kind of oolong incident, victory is victory, defeat is defeat.

Although Cao Ren wore heavy armor and carried a short spear and a large shield to the battlefield in person, he alone was not enough to save the defeat.

Wherever he went, Cheng Pengjun couldn't resist and retreated.

But he was only one person after all.

Moreover, the generals on Cheng Pengjun's side are not dead people!

I don't know who took the lead, dozens of players at the peak of the three-star rushed up the ladder with shouts, and surrounded Cao Ren on the high wall.

The battlefield is not rivers and lakes, and the siege is not a battle, and there is no concept of "heads-up", so they did not hesitate at all, and launched an attack on Cao Ren in unison.

All kinds of weapons rained down, and each blow was enough to kill the average elite soldier directly.

Even though Cao Ren's strength had broken through three stars under the protection of the Mandate of Heaven and risen to the point of almost a four-star median, in the face of the siege of dozens of three-star peak players, his strength was not enough to protect himself.

I can take care of this side, but I can't take care of that side; Even if you try your best to charge, you will be blocked back.

So after a while, the general of Cao's "Cao" army was covered in injuries and collapsed from exhaustion.

"Kill Cao Ren!"

This cheer first sounded on the city wall, then continued to spread, and finally all Yuan Shaojun cheered.

For a while, their momentum was like a rainbow, and Cao's army completely collapsed.

The battle that followed was a one-sided chase and annihilation. Adventure 30

In this battle, Yuan Shao's army lost 3,000 people, and Cao's Cao's army, led by Cao Ren, almost all 5,000 sergeants were wiped out, and only more than 100 horsemen escaped.

"Very good, let's tidy up this camp, and we can use it directly." Cheng Peng said happily, "With a wide field of vision and high walls, it is really a rare defensive stronghold, and after cleaning up, it is an important transit station for the follow-up of the army!" ”

Xu Tu and Yue Yi nodded one after another, and went to arrange their own work.

Siege victory is just the beginning, and there's a lot more that needs to be done.

Then the next morning, Yue Yi rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army early and urged Cheng Peng to march quickly.

"Don't be in such a hurry." Cheng Peng said nonchalantly, "The eldest young master has given us enough time, no matter how much we delay, we will have time to call Xuchang before the auspicious day, and it will not delay him and Cao Cao's marriage." ”

This made all the players present laugh.

Of course, there are only players present.

Although this statement has long been an open secret among players, a secret is still a secret after all, and it cannot be said in front of NPCs.

After laughing for a while, Yue Yi made the suggestion just now.

"Since ancient times, only clumsy speed, not clever for a long time, 'fast' is always the only magic weapon to defeat the enemy." He gestured on the map and said, "According to the report of Tanma, from Yanjin all the way to the south, there are two Cao Cao' armies. One was a guerrilla army led by Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian, with about 4,000 men; The other was 6,000 elite soldiers led by Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and Le Jin, stationed in Yuanwu County. There is no evidence that the two sides have joined forces......"

"You mean that we can go and defeat Xiahou Yuan's army first, and then capture Yuanwu?"

"That's right, once these two forces are wiped out, the rest will be the escort army around Xuchang." Yue Yi nodded and said, "Although there are Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu over there...... and a large number of special generals, as well as powerful troops such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Red Robe Army, but we don't need to fight them to the death - they are the target of the eldest young master, and those of us who are subordinates only need to take the original Wu County seat. ”

"As long as Yuanwu County is captured, Cao's Cao Cao army will only have two choices left - either to fight back with all its strength and fight a decisive battle with us on the great plains south of Yuanwu County; Either retreat to Xuchang and rely on Xiongcheng to fight a defensive battle......" Cheng Peng looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Yue Yi said very clearly, in general, it is nothing more than the truth that "the soldiers are noble and fast, and if they are late, they will change", and it is more convenient to fight two groups of enemies successively than to let the two groups of enemy soldiers unite and then attack again.

But he had other things to think about.

Things on the battlefield are ever-changing, unpredictable, and accidents can happen at any time. Therefore, good generals tend to have two different tendencies, one likes to rely on speed to win, and lay the foundation for victory before accidents happen; The other likes to play steady, calmly watching the situation unfold, and waiting until everything is clear, and then strike hard to decide the winner.

Yue Yi and Xu Tu both tend to the former, while Cheng Peng, although he leans towards the former in terms of "sexuality", is educated in the latter.

As a historian, he is familiar with many examples of wars in ancient and modern times, and can even directly recite many of them.

From the perspective of historical experience, although the former is brilliant, it often loses its achievements after a single failure; The latter or not so wonderful examples and legendary stories are better than they are safe—just like the battle of Baiqi, Changping and Wang Qian's destruction of Zhao and Chu. Bai Qi's battle was of course exciting, but in fact it was also extremely dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Jun was really not powerful, Zhao Kuo, who personally led the army to attack, would be able to break his Chinese army with his dignified soldiers, so that this Wu'an Hou would have no place to be buried; But compared to this, Wang Qian's battle was very stable, smooth sailing, without the slightest wave.

If you want to be praised, Bai Qi's tactics are naturally more beautiful, but if you want to win, Wang Qian's approach is the right way.

However, these ideas are just Cheng Peng's own opinions, which can be described as a common saying...... Not enough for outsiders either. Adventure 30

His gaze circled the map, then he raised his head again, sweeping over the faces of his companions.

So he made a decision.

Offensive! Immediately! Let's go!

Because what he saw on the faces of his companions was high fighting spirit.

At this moment, the morale of the three armies is high, no matter what kind of enemy they deal with, it is enough to fight, and even if they encounter any accidents, they will not be defeated by the first battle.

In that case, what are you waiting for?

Let's talk about it!

As for being safe or something, Yuan Dashao will personally lead an army of 80,000 to the south in a few days, and there are a large number of players with him.

With such a support army here, what is there to be afraid of?

He is also a resolute and resolute person, since he has made up his mind, he no longer hesitates at all, and directly orders the whole army to set off, handing over Yanjin, which has not yet completed repairs, to Yue Yi, who is moving slowly because of the majority of engineers in the army, and leaving the general Yan Liang and 2,000 elite soldiers to help hold the throat on the bank of the Yellow River, and then personally lead the remaining 15,000 troops to attack and search for Cao's "Cao" army Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian's department.

This march was three days.

Until they came to the county seat of Yuanwu County, they still didn't see the force that was supposed to intercept them on the road.

"Could it be that they have already withdrawn into the original Wu County?" Xu Tu groaned, observing the enemy's situation, "But the other party's banner does not have the 'Li' military flag in it—at this time, do you still need to deliberately show weakness?" ”

Cheng Peng was also puzzled.

For Cao's army, which is outnumbered by the enemy, it is necessary to boost morale as much as possible at this moment, so that it can hold out longer when Yuan Shaojun's army is pressing, so it is necessary to erect every military flag, at least let the soldiers see that "there are enough generals here to press the formation", which can increase some confidence.

But they didn't.

"Perhaps...... They are not in the original Wuxian County......" Cheng Peng hesitated for a while, then ordered the officers in charge of espionage to search the surroundings carefully.

"Let the players also work hard, only relying on the search of NPC probes, I am a little uneasy after all."

Naturally, the players could understand his concerns, and the people who received the task did not have any objections and set off quickly.

Then, Cheng Peng came to the outside of the barracks and looked at the original Wu County.

As the gateway to Xuchang, this small city is not big but very strong, and it is indeed a tricky target for him who does not have enough siege equipment.

But that's not a problem.

Cheng Peng's army also had some sappers, about a thousand people—this was exchanged with Yue Yi before he set off, although he didn't carry a lot of tools for the sake of marching speed, and he couldn't build the kind of large ladders, wells, and counterweight catapults that he used to capture Yanjin for the time being, but if he only made a city-rushing vehicle or something, it would be enough.

But he didn't.

"Dig a trench and go deep; Set up a few more to reject horses; I've got as many defenses as I can! Looking at Yuanwu Xiancheng, who seemed to be completely unmoved by the army, Cheng Peng gave an order, "No matter what tricks the enemy has, let our army be invincible first!" ”
