171. The coalition forces are the best at fighting in the nest
"Siege Tower, prepare!" I let out a loud shout.
Guo Jia hurriedly came over: "Lord, there are a lot of people here...... The lord attacked this time, lest he hurt the innocent! ”
"Directly above the city gate are the people defending, but there are mostly yellow turban thieves on both sides, so we attack strongly!" I said.
"I don't think so, we will lose more people when we attack the strong, in this way, we will lose ourselves, and others will slaughter the main gate, won't we give them the first opportunity?" Yinping said.
I laughed and said, "You underestimate the fighting spirit of the common people, even if they have no training experience, but in order to survive, these people are a fearless army." ”
With the horns of the array, countless Jiangdong troops set up an array, and at the front of the array, there were dozens of siege ladders, in addition to the ladders, there were two huge siege towers.
I stood in the middle army, looked at the Jiangxia city wall, and waved my hand.
"Siege!" One of the guards behind me sprang forward and shouted.
With the order of the guards, the standard-bearers also waved their battle flags, and the Jiangdong Army lined up in a phalanx immediately stepped forward.
Holding shields in their hands, they stared at the city wall of Qixian not far away, and advanced step by step with neat steps.
The soldiers' feet stepped on the ground, and puffs of smoke and dust were raised, horns and battle flags were fluttering, and the soldiers would roar neatly every two steps.
Their feet stomped on the ground, and the ground trembled with a loud bang, and at the head of the city, the enemy army drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the advancing soldiers.
"Shield!" With a shout, the infantryman, who was at the forefront, held his shield to his chest.
"Archer!" There was another shout, and the archers stepped forward, burrowing into the array of heavy infantry, shielding themselves with shields.
The enemy at the head of the city loosened its bowstrings, and countless arrows fell like locusts on our heads and faces.
Our soldiers held their shields, kept a neat line, and walked towards the wall with arrows.
The arrows were dense, and although our men formed a shield wall, some of our soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.
As soon as they fell, someone filled the void and moved on.
The archers who hide in the shield will shoot a feathered arrow at the head of the city every two steps.
The arrows of both sides are staggered back and forth, forming a dense network of arrows above the battlefield.
"Kill!" With a loud shout, ladders were erected, and the soldiers climbed up the ladders like apes.
The siege lasted three days and three nights, and the battlefield was already full of corpses and a mess.
The most embarrassed is Tao Qian, there are only 8,000 people left, and most of them are wounded, Cao Bao ran over with a face of mud and said: "Xiongtu, we really can't hold on, these are Xuzhou's disciples, if they are all put in, I'm afraid that Xuzhou's defense is empty, if anyone takes advantage of the void, we have no subordinates to resist." ”
"General, there are still 30,000 people left on our side, 49,000 Cao troops, 40,000 Liu Biao's troops, and 32,000 Yuan Shu's troops." The herald ran over and said.
I can't take the city, I am also anxious, the female army of Guan Yinping is healing the soldiers, and the others are at a loss in the camp tent.
I walked back and forth, and although I often read military books during these days, I was very inexperienced when it came to siege cities.
I said to the system, "Can you summon people who are good at siege?" ”
[At present, the host's level is quite low, and it is impossible to selectively summon. At present, the host has 2300 psychic coins, and he cannot be summoned by an epic.
I sighed, and then the herald came again: "Report! Tao Qian's army has retreated, and Liu Biao's army has retreated! ”
"What?!" I was taken aback immediately.
Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "These people are also smart people, they know that even if they capture Jiangxia City, I'm afraid Jiangxia City will not necessarily be theirs, and it is easy to attack a light city, but now that the enemy can't occupy the city, if you want to capture it, I'm afraid you will have to pay a greater price!" ”
"The military advisor is right, losing tens of thousands of people in exchange for a city, and it is still a scarred city, for them, this is not a good deal." Yue Fei said.
"Then there's no good way?" I looked at the two of them.
Guo Jia took a step forward: "It rained heavily in the morning, and it was warm today, if I guessed correctly, there will be a heavy fog when it is ugly today, and when the fog comes, it may be our chance." ”
"Oh?"
"But I saw it, Liu Ji under Cao Mengde is not an idle person, I'm afraid he also saw it, so today they collected ......their troops early," Guo Jia thought for a while, "Lord, there is one thing you have to pay attention to, this Cao Mengde seems to have met with Yuan Shu today, and it seems that he is plotting something." ”
"I'm afraid I'm looking for an opportunity to deal with Yuan Shao, this battle is about to start." I said.
Everyone was shocked, and Yue Fei said, "Why do you want to beat Yuan Shao? ”
"The two brothers of the Yuan family have never been at odds." I said, "This time Cao Mengde came here, I am afraid that the purpose of the oil umbrella is to seize Jiangxia, but this is the worst plan, after all, Jiangxia and his Xu capital are separated by a city, to inform this land, I am afraid, and the second is to use Yuan Shu to attack Yuan Shao, the two brothers have always been at odds, and everyone wants to kill whom." ”
"Three?" Silver Screen walked in.
"It's us, last time we didn't say goodbye and survived, but according to Cao Mengde's plan, I'm afraid he won't let us go easily." I said.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both sons of Yuan Feng, Yuan Shao is the elder brother, and Yuan Shu is the younger brother, but Yuan Shao is the concubine, and Yuan Shu is the concubine.
The concubine was born to his wife, and Yuan Shu looked down on Yuan Shao, which is well known, and although Yuan Shao may have been born to a servant girl, his quality, popularity, and level are indeed better than Yuan Shu. This Yuan Shu is even more jealous of his brother, and he has to fight to the death with his brother.
In fact, Yuan Shu doesn't need to look down on Yuan Shao, their two brothers have a common feature of being noble, pretentious, and stupid.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the dispute between the family and the family, and the dispute between the leaders of the world;
Cao Cao Tao Qian, the revenge of killing his father, the struggle for control of Qingxu;
Liu Biaosun Ce, the revenge of killing his father, the dispute over the chassis of Jingzhou;
Yuan Shaogong Sun Zhan, the revenge of killing his brother, the struggle for hegemony in Hebei;
Liu Biao Yuan Shu, the struggle for the hegemony of the south.
With such a complicated relationship, the two brothers naturally would not join forces to fight against Cao, otherwise Cao Cao would have been defeated early, and since ancient times, it can be shown that there is no good end to fighting in the nest, and it will only take advantage of outsiders.
I analyzed it as above, and Guo Jia said: "The lord sees people thoroughly, and admires them, but now that Yuan Shu and Cao Mengde are united, will they deal with ...... Lord? ”
"In that case, today we are on standby, recuperate, and do not attack." I said.
Yue Fei said: "Such a great opportunity, will the lord give it up?" ”
"There are two reasons to give up, the first is that if we attack the city when we are ugly, since Liu Ji knows that there will be fog at this time, will he attack us? The second is that since this small Jiangxia City can hold on for so long, it means that there are probably capable people in it, and since there are capable people, it will inevitably be counted as an opportunity to be ugly, so we attack the city when it is ugly, but it seems out of place, but there will be a danger of being seen and demolished! I said.
"My lord said yes, but if none of this happens, is it not that we have lost an opportunity?" Guo Jia said.
I thought about it carefully: "Let's watch first, and also, now that the princes of the three parties are the weakest, you say that if you are the defender of the city, what will you do?" ”
"Take advantage of the fog, open the door to meet the enemy, send a death squad, and annihilate the weakest army!" Yue Fei said, "If I am this defender, it must be the Jiangdong Army that will be annihilated first, because now Cao Jun and Yuan Shujun have a very good relationship and deal with each other, and Tao Qian on our side has already left, so it can be said that it is difficult to speak alone!" ”
"Yes, at ten o'clock in the night, we immediately moved the camp and went behind Yuan Shu." I said.
"My lord, you are ......"
"When they open the city gate, they will not open the city gate, but the city gate, the partial city gate will be opened from both sides, they will inevitably be from west to north, so that we are the first military camp they contact, if we turn the direction, then the first one is his Yuan Shu, besides, this fog is filled, no one can see anyone!" I laughed.
