Chapter 410: Momentum at the South Gate, Decisive Battle at the North Gate

Lin Sen was given three days to recuperate, and his injuries were a little better, but the war horse could no longer be ridden, and he marched with the army in a carriage.

In addition, Lin Sen also did one thing, that is, he sent someone to the East China Sea, Xiapi himself had already given it up, and he would not occupy Pengcheng for a long time, so it was better to sell his favor to Zang Ba and Hua Shao's group, so that they could quickly receive Xiapi and prevent being occupied by the people in Yuan Shu's camp first.

As for whether people miss love or not, Lin Sen can't care so much, anyway, Xuzhou will not be his own dish for the next few years or even more than ten years.

Another thing that made Lin Sen feel pity was that Sun Gan ran away, when the camp was attacked, he was chaotic for a while, and Sun Gan was not strictly guarded, Sun Gan found an opportunity, knocked over the guards and fled, and disappeared.

It's a pity that such a master negotiator didn't take it for his own use, but Lao Gen said that he was not strong enough to swallow elephants, and he already had so many civil and military generals, and he was still pulling hard, leaving no way for others to live at all.

But then again, who would be too much, of course, the more the merrier.

During this period, Li Lin's arrival solved Lin Sen's food and grass problem, and Li Lin also brought a batch of newly made arrows, crossbow arrows and spears, which were in large quantities, which supplemented Lin Sen's armament and was enough for a long time.

Heavy weapons are carried, the marching speed is naturally slow, Lin Sen didn't want to travel lightly, it took six days for the army to come to Xiaopei City, Lin Sen's injuries were completely healed, and Lao Wu was still recuperating.

Outside Xiaopei City, the newly built trench antlers are thirty heavy, and they are all within more than two hundred meters outside the city, this distance, let alone the archers. Only large catapults and ballistas can be shot, and I don't know why Liu Beifei is doing so hard.

Open jaw shouted under the city. If you can fight in the field, of course, it is the best, and the result is not surprising. Liu Bei refused, and resolutely closed the door, then there would be no superfluous nonsense, directly attacking the city, shelling the city pass, taking advantage of the situation to bury the trenches, and destroy the antlers.

This is a normal process, Lin Sen has many soldiers and horses, and Zhang Liao, as the main general, commands the south gate of the first army. Zhang Jaw attacked the east gate as the main general of the other army, and the cavalry served as a reserve, and after the city was breached, they would enter the city as an assault team.

Liu Bei's city-guarding equipment is obviously more comprehensive, and also, as the former lord of Xuzhou, if he doesn't have a little family background, it's really a bit unusual, but the number is less.

The Jizhou army used powerful long-range firepower to bury the trench in front of it little by little. Lin Sen's number of siege equipment is still much more, he is not afraid of losses, anyway, they are all durable, and he can't find a craftsman to repair it at the moment. The durability is gone, and instead of grinding and damaging it yourself, it is better to fight with Liu Bei. It would be best to destroy Liu Bei's equipment.

In such a day, the Jizhou army used catapults and ballistas. Under the cover of shield soldiers and sharpshooters, thirty long trenches on each side of the southeast were filled in. The next day, you can attack the city normally.

On this day, Lin Sen's jar of fire oil was not used, before the exchange of fire oil was restricted, Lin Sen had a huge amount of reserves, so since the exchange of fire oil became more and more difficult, the impact on him was actually not so obvious, but this thing was a fast-moving consumer after all, and I didn't know how much it needed to consume in a battle, and I could save some of it.

On the contrary, Liu Bei was used to defend the city, throwing it out with a catapult, trying to block the Jizhou army from burying the trench, the fire oil battle method was carried forward by Lin Sen when he fought in Si Li, and later people figured out to use the sediment to defend, how could Lin Sen not know, while filling the pit, once he saw that there was fire oil shooting, he hid under the shield, and then when the fire oil jar was broken, everyone stepped forward and dug the soil together, and buried it with soil in time to control it from spreading.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, after breakfast, the siege continued, today is the real siege, the Jizhou army together with Lao Gen's Si Li soldiers and horses, the infantry is left 600,000, Zhang Liao alone leads 400,000, and the rest are all dispatched by Zhang Jaw, attacking on both sides.

Zhang Liao adjusted the attack distance of the catapult and the ballista, and put these two instruments forward, so that not only could they attack the city wall, but some boulders, fire oil, and spears could also hit the city wall, covering a particularly large area.

The archers were divided into two teams, Huang Zhong led 30,000 to Zhang Liao to dispatch, and Zhao Fu led 20,000 to be controlled by Zhang Jaw and cooperated with the army to attack the city. When the battle is fierce, arrows and artillery stones from both the attacking and defending sides are fired like raindrops, and death happens all the time.

The siege war is a war of attrition, Lin Sen's supplies have just been replenished once, not afraid of consumption, but Liu Bei is eating the old book, rolling wood and stone is better, after exhaustion, he has to demolish the houses in the city for temporary defense of the city, I am afraid that I am afraid that the fire oil and arrows will run out, which cannot be replenished.

Since Liu Bei refused to go out of the city to fight, consuming his defending materials was the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each guarded a city wall, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were responsible for transporting and dispatching materials and ordnance in the city, holding the city and waiting for Cao Cao's arrival.

For three days, the small city of Xiaopei was ravaged by artillery fire, the wall has cracked, some battlements are completely broken, and it is impossible to dodge under it, the most happy thing for Lin Sen is that Liu Bei's city defense materials seem to have run out, today Gao Shun tried to attack, and actually attacked the city wall, although they were all killed in the end, but this is a good signal.

In the evening, Lin Sen summoned the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Lin Sen first said the plan that he had been thinking about for three days: "Tomorrow to attack the city, Gao Shun and Liyi, you two should not participate in the battle, and lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to quietly go around to the north of the city, there is a mountain bag over there, and a large area of woods, you are hidden in it, waiting for you." ”

"Jun Yi, tomorrow the siege battle will break out, and when the battle is suspended at noon for dinner, you will lead the army to withdraw from the siege and come to the south gate to attack the city with Wenyuan, remember, you must go with great fanfare."

"Wen Yuan, tomorrow you will continue to attack the city normally, after noon, after Jun Yi leads the army, you must storm the city pass with lightning speed, causing the greatest pressure on Guan Yu and making him anxious to Liu Bei."

"Got it? This move of mine is called the momentum at the south gate, and the decisive battle is at the north gate! ”

In fact, Lin Sen came up with this strategy, in addition to thinking that Liu Bei's supplies were about to run out, another point was that he heard that Cao Cao was leading the army to come, and the bad things were so tense, Cao Cao came at this time, and it was definitely not a good thing to personally lead 200,000 soldiers and horses, it was very likely that he came for mediation, and he resolutely could not wait for Cao Cao to arrive.

The next day, according to the strategy ordered by Lin Sen in advance, the siege continued, and early in the morning, before dawn, Gao Shun and Lu Yi led the army to retreat, withdrew ten miles away, and then quietly went around to the woods to the north.

When noon was approaching, Zhang Jaw led the army to withdraw from the siege, and the army moved to the south gate, and Zhang Fei on the city wall was a little inexplicable and confused.

Just after noon, the army had lunch, a little rest, some physical recovery, then launched the most fierce attack, except for Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw two, the other generals all participated in the siege battle, the first soldiers, personally risked the arrows, climbed the city wall, catapults and crossbows gathered together, desperate crazy bombardment of the city wall, the catapults threw out are all ignited oil, landing is a flame.

Guan Yu's pressure immediately doubled, and the ordinary wood and stone had no effect on it at all, in desperation, Guan Yu could only use the last bit of arrows and fire oil, and now there was no need to keep it, and it would be broken if he kept the city pass any longer.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals can use their arm strength to wave their weapons to smash the rolling wood and stones, but they have to guard against extremely fast arrows, especially the hot oil, and they are forced to retreat temporarily, so that Guan Yu's defense materials are only the wood and stone removed from the houses in the city, and there is nothing else.

Guan Yu threw down the torches, and the torches ignited the oil, but they were quickly buried by the returning Jizhou army, Guan Yu then complained to Liu Bei, Liu Bei had no other way but to transfer Zhang Fei's department at the east gate, Zhang Fei still had a little arrow and oil in his hand, not to mention that no one was attacking at the east gate.

Soon, Zhang Fei came to the southern city wall, at this moment the Jizhou army has attacked the city wall again, Guan Yu is fighting bloodily, Zhang Fei's arrival also slightly relieved Guan Yu's pressure, and the two immediately joined forces to attack the enemy.

As soon as Zhang Fei appeared on the southern city wall, Zhang Liao immediately reported the situation to Lin Sen, who was indescribably happy in his heart, and the satisfaction of the success of the strategy made him feel useful.
