Chapter 1051: The Iron Army, Yang Wei, and Zhang Xun were defeated
The Iron Army's style of play is very calm, very efficient, and even a little less like the troops commanded by the player, more like the kind of battle commanded by the aboriginal kind of slick veteran.
Song Hufeng and his staff team accurately calculated the comparison of combat power above and below the city wall, and constantly fine-tuned, using the minimum consumption and the lowest price, trying to create greater casualties for the other party.
And Zhang Xun outside the city is distressed, compared to long-range strikes, he seems to suffer a little, with a strong attack, the opponent's heavy infantry occupies a favorable position, completely defeats his own siege troops, with the tactics of the sea of people, the other party's command is not only not chaotic, on the contrary, it is also so fine that people are afraid, this famous iron army, is really not an ordinary player army.
This made Zhang Xun, who thought he had picked up a bargain, quickly slide from one extreme to the other, and the mood changes of the main general can soon be reflected in the battle.
Zhang Xun was anxious1
"Tiger Head, how do you tell?"
"You see he's scattered all the heavy infantry, and wants to have a full bloom.1
"Hehe, does this trick work?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on the command ability of the grassroots generals1
"Cut, isn't our player's command ability inferior to the other side's natives?"
"Don't underestimate the aborigines1
"It's not underestimated, it's whether self-confidence is good or not1
"Alright, stop arguing. Everyone scattered to the various city walls, and handed over the front to me, and Yangzi followed Dian Wei to the south side. Xiao Lu and Bao Zi go to the north, and Mantis you and Xiao Jian go to the west. ”
"West? There is no enemy there 1
"If you don't, you don't have to be guarded!?"
"Ugh"
Zhang Xun's strategy of dispersing attacks still failed, compared to the grassroots command ability, Zhang Xun's troops are still not as good as the Iron Army, it seems that the Iron Army's self-confidence is still very reasonable.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Xun, who was unwilling, had no choice but to collect his troops and return to the camp, thinking about whether the enemy would come to attack at night. Zhang Xun's mind began to move again, and he carefully arranged it in the camp, but it was a pity. Song Hufeng had no intention of stealing the camp at all, but sent a lot of player troops, using long-range equipment, and a hit-and-run strategy. Constant harassment of Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun didn't have a good night's rest. The next day, they simply did not leave the camp, which made Song Hufeng, who was ready to fight, depressed, but the enemy army was not in a hurry, and Song Hufeng was even less anxious, the order they received was to stick to delay time, the opponent did not attack, and Song Hufeng was also happy to rest. While repairing the city walls, we prepared supplies.
In the evening. The players received the task and came to sneak attack again, and Zhang Xun didn't dare to let the cavalry scatter and attack, so he could only form a large team and drive away these fly-like player troops everywhere, of course, the effect would not be good, but tonight Zhang Xun had experience, and let the troops take turns to rest, but it did not completely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.
On the third day, Zhang Xun finally resumed the offensive, but unfortunately, the result of the battle was still disappointing, at the end of the day, Zhang Xun threw down three thousand corpses under the city wall and retreated, in terms of casualties, Zhang Xun's attack was still very strong, however, the casualties in the city were less than six hundred, and this exchange ratio made the arrogant Zhang Xun very helpless.
Zhang Xun couldn't attack, and he used his brains again, such as setting up the barracks separately, trying to lure the defenders out of the city, but the iron army didn't eat that at all, it was still harassing and not attacking, Zhang Xun even pretended to retreat, and the defenders in the city were still unmoved.
The situation of Kaifeng and Wei's is similar, but the exchange ratio of the offensive and defensive sides of these two cities is only two to one, which is a decent exchange ratio, such a battle result Yuan Shu is naturally not satisfied, but there is no better way, Yuan Shu even wanted to personally raise troops to bypass Kaifeng and go straight to Chen Liu, but this proposal was resolutely stopped by Yang Hong, which is not only meaningless, but will even give the other party a chance to take advantage of, once the war is reversed, the current good situation is dangerous.
Yang Hong gave Yuan Shu an idea, asked Yuan Shu to write a letter to Yuan Shao, patted Yuan Shao's horses, and wanted to encourage Yuan Shao to attack Lu Bu and open the situation first.
Yuan Shao actually didn't want to open up the situation, but Lu Bu's combat power was really not a joke, once the offensive was launched, Yuan Shao found that his troops in the field had no way to deal with Lu Bu's troops, if the number of cavalry was large, it could be driven out a little, once the troops were scattered, they would be eaten by Lu Bu immediately, and the infantry without cavalry protection would be tragic when they encountered Lu Bu on the march, and they could basically only defend on the spot and wait for the cavalry to come to the rescue, but Lu Bu often took advantage of this time to turn around and eat the cavalry that came to help.
Yuan Shao also tried his best to design an ambush, but unfortunately Lu Bu was slippery and the same as a loach, and he didn't give Lu Bu a chance at all, although after hard work, Zhang Jaw advanced the troops to Dong'e, but the effect of the siege was not good, and Lu Bu attacked behind him, and the losses of the troops were very large, and the morale was also a little sluggish.
Then Yan Liang also attacked Gucheng, but the result was the same as Zhang Jaw, Lu Bu used Jiancheng to drag Yuan Shao's attack army, and then used his superior cavalry to continuously kill and injure Yuan Shao's living force, Yuan Shao is no matter how stupid he is, he will calculate, calculate the number of cities he will attack, and the number of troops he needs to pay, Yuan Shao's heart is cold.
Xu You also understood that in such a small-scale battlefield, there was no way to exploit the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, but the attack in the direction of Puyang could not be carried out because of the problem of the navy, and Fenggao was restrained by Zhang Bao, and there was no way to go south to bypass Shanyang County.
The time soon entered April, and Yuan Shao's biggest achievement was that many places in Lu Bu's territory missed spring ploughing, and Lu Bu will face the problem of lack of grain this year.
Zhang Xun under the sour jujube city is now exhausted, but unfortunately the sour jujube city is still good, even a little taller than when Zhang Xun first came, because the defenders in the city are repairing the city wall without anything, and the city wall is getting higher and higher, Zhang Xun is ashamed and angry about this, but unfortunately there is no way.
The long-term confrontation made the war a routine, and every day Zhang Xun's task was to go to the city to form a formation, make some senseless assault on the city walls, and then drop hundreds of corpses and withdraw to the camp, and at night to guard against enemy harassment and attacks, praying for the blessing of the gods not to be stoned to death while asleep.
Unlike Zhang Xun's helplessness, the iron army in the city is even busier, and the recruits who have been replenished from Fengqiu have arrived. p> "Tiger Head, is this possible?"
"It is quite feasible, if you use war horses to send the troops to the destination at night and launch an attack before dawn, the probability of success is quite high, and this place is captured, Zhang Xun's back road is cut off, and it is inevitable to withdraw or return to the army to recapture this place, and this is a good time to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xun."
"Tsk, I found that Pang Yuan's kid is really patient, and this plan was patiently implemented for a month."
"This is not only a matter of patience, but also a matter of timing, don't forget, the cavalry troops who came to participate in the war were transferred from the south, and this month made Cao Cao, who coveted the Central Plains, more worried, so that the cavalry in the south could be released and form a local strength advantage with us."
"Okay, since it's feasible, then let's do a big job, and let the world see the majesty of our Iron Army1
"Needless to say! The Iron Army is mighty 1
"The Iron Army is mighty! Hehe1
On April 3, the Iron Army took advantage of the night to transport 20,000 heavy infantry out of the city with war horses, ran 60 miles in one night, and raided Zhang Xun's granary and logistics base Yuanwu in the early morning, although the original Wu defenders had 30,000, but they were defeated by the 20,000 heavy infantry of the Iron Army like a wolf and a tiger, and the fierce battle was until noon, Yuanwu was lost, and a large number of grain, grass and materials fell into the hands of the Iron Army.
Zhang Xun was shocked when he heard the news, the loss of Yuan Wu means that he has lost the ability to attack, of course, now is also an opportunity to capture the sour jujube, but what if he can't attack it? A team that has lost its supplies may collapse immediately or be flanked by an iron army coming from behind.
Zhang Xun thought about it, or decided to immediately return to the army to recapture the original army, if the heavy infantry of the Iron Army can be smothered in the original army, then it is logical to turn around and attack the sour jujube when the time comes! No matter how bad it is, this choice can also bring the battle situation back to a stalemate, and after thinking about it, Zhang Xun no longer hesitated, and immediately led the army to turn around and go west.
After Song Hufeng captured the original army, he immediately began to repair the city defense on a large scale, and he was ready to defend the original army, and the next morning, Zhang Xun's troops appeared on the eastern horizon.
The battle then unfolded, due to the limited strength of the Iron Army, Zhang Xun was anxious, the battle was quite tragic, as soon as it came up into the bloody battle, although the Iron Army was tenacious, but the inferiority of the number was difficult to be completely wiped out, the battle lasted until noon, Zhang Xun, who paid a heavy price, finally captured a city wall, but the Iron Army did not retreat, still relying on the streets and houses in the city for street fighting, and in the street fighting, the heavy infantry did take advantage of it, Zhang Xun's losses were even more severe, Zhang Xun had no choice but to throw the cavalry into the battle for the streets.
Just when the two sides were fighting bloody and tragic, suddenly, there was a burst of muffled thunder from outside the city, and then, there was a palpitating vibration on the ground, Zhang Xun was shocked! Enemy cavalry! Where did the large number of enemy cavalry come from!
Zhang Xun understands that he has been tricked!
Gao Ran's cavalry rushed into Zhang Xun's rear team, which is called a tiger into the flock! Zhang Xun himself is not good at force, but he was broken through the Chinese army by Gao Ran and easily hung up. Losing the main general, the troops are messing up the formation, the battlefield is chaotic, smart people hurry up, but unfortunately there are enemy cavalry on the periphery, where to run!
A chaotic battle lasted until dark, Zhang Xun died, Zhang Xun's army was annihilated, in addition to the early losses, this battle Zhang Xun died more than 30,000 people, surrendered more than 50,000, including 10,000 cavalry, the Iron Army and Gao Ran cooperated, and achieved a brilliant victory, and this victory is definitely not only a military victory, but also the starting point of Pang Yuan's strategic turn, but also sounded the death knell for Yuan Shu!
