Chapter 34: Wheel Warfare
13 After seeing the fireball fall on the enemy's city wall, it immediately ignited the rolling wood, fire oil, shields and other flammable items on the city wall, which were originally prepared to prevent the Shu army from attacking the city.
"Boom!" "Bang" ......
The flames burned louder and louder, and the Wei soldiers suddenly fell into a chaos, constantly looking for water to extinguish the fire.
However, You Chu was talented after all, although the city was on fire, he did not panic, and immediately ordered half of the soldiers to put out the fire, and let the other half of the soldiers guard against the attack of the Shu army.
"Okay, Liang Xu, I'll leave it to you here, remember, just keep harassing the enemy army, don't let them have time to rest, if the enemy army takes the initiative to go out of the city, notify me immediately, and find a way to annihilate the enemy outside the city!" Mo Fan yawned and said.
With so many things happening during the day, Mo Fan also felt a little tired and decided to go back to meditate and rest his spirit.
After Mo Fan left, Liang Xu continued to lead the army to harass the Wei army!
After tossing for most of the night, the Wei army finally extinguished the fire on the city, and seeing that the Wei army was calm, Liang Xu immediately ordered the Shu army to harass it, all kinds of swear words, gongs, and drums.
The Wei army did not dare to relax for a moment, and was always on guard against the Shu army, but the long-term high-intensity vigilance made them tired.
The sun slowly spreads on the earth, marking the arrival of a new day!
The Shu army finally retreated, and after a night of tossing, they were also exhausted, but they could rest immediately after retreating, but the Wei army did not have this treatment......
"You Taishou, why didn't you go out of the city to annihilate them directly, they only had five thousand people, and they dared to be so arrogant!" Jiang Xie, the Taishou of Guangwei County, said angrily.
Before Liang Xu led the Shu army of five thousand night raids to scold below, naturally he scolded the Taishou of this city, and his various relatives also greeted the soldiers of the Shu army by the way.
Jiang Xie heard it, and he was already short-tempered, and he wanted to rush down immediately to tear the Shu army apart, but every time You Chu was blocked.
"Lord Jiang, don't be so reckless, this is the enemy's trick at first glance, it is dark at this time, maybe there are tens of thousands of enemy troops hidden in the darkness below. If we rush down, we will definitely be wiped out, and when the time comes, won't we give up the two cities of Guangwei and Longxi to the enemy, how should we face Your Highness! You Chu saw Jiang Xie looking angry, and hurriedly explained to him that he didn't want to lose the city because of Jiang Xie's recklessness.
"Alas, it's not a good feeling to let others block and scold like this!" After hearing You Chu's words, Jiang Xie suddenly woke up, he was not a stupid person, he was just a hot breath rushing into his brain just now, and he didn't think too much.
"Jiang Taishou only needs to wait for a few days, as long as he can hold the city safely, and wait for the reinforcements sent by His Highness to arrive, he will definitely be able to sweep away the shame of this insult!"
"Now I only hope that His Highness's reinforcements will arrive soon, and the land of Shu Han projectiles will attack my Wei State, I am really impatient!"
While they were talking, a large amount of wind and sand quickly rose in the distance, and a rush of footsteps came from afar!
Soon, what appeared in front of the Wei army in the city was a mighty array of tens of thousands of Shu soldiers in dark red armor.
The leader was Mo Fan, who was wearing a silver-white cloak and holding a seven-foot spear, at this moment, he looked proud of the world, and walked in the forefront majestically.
Momentum is absolutely important at all times. These are Mo Fan's exact words.
"Listen to the Wei thief upstairs, I am Ma Yan, the general of Shu State, and you can surrender quickly, so you can avoid death!"
When the soldiers approached the city, Mo Fan's first sentence was still a classic pretending to be forced.
"General You, looking at the enemy's posture, he is preparing to attack!" Jiang Xie exclaimed.
Now it is only half an hour before the night attack of the Shu army, and the soldiers of the Wei army not only haven't even slept, but they haven't even had time to eat!
"Tell the soldiers, quickly prepare the items to defend the city, cheer up, and meet the next big battle!" You Chu immediately instructed his subordinates.
"How is this good, our soldiers haven't even eaten breakfast, and if they go into battle like this, they will definitely suffer a big loss!" Although Jiang Xie has a violent personality, he has to say that he still cares about the soldiers of the Wei State.
"There's no way to do this, the Shu army has brought so many people today, if we don't deal with it well, the city is very likely to be lost!" You Chu said helplessly.
Soon, some of the napping soldiers had just squinted when they were woken up by their companions.
"What's going on, what's going on, didn't the Shu army retreat?" Some of the soldiers who had just been woken up were still dazed.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the Shu army is coming to attack the city with a large army!"
"What!"
The soldiers of the Wei State woke up one after another, looking at the vast sea of people below, they couldn't help but take a breath of cool air and wait for it.
"Are all the people in the city deaf, come down quickly and surrender!" Seeing that no one answered upstairs, Mo Fan did not hesitate.
"You are General Ma of the three cities of Lianke, General Ma is both civil and military, and I You Chu have long admired the great name, but if you want us to surrender, it is impossible, I You Chu is ordered by His Royal Highness, and I must fulfill my mission." You Chu walked to the edge of the city wall, looking like he would rather die than surrender.
"Oh, you don't descend? Okay, do you dare to come down and fight me? You Chu's expression had long been expected by Mo Fan!
"Isn't General Ma joking? Now there are no famous generals in this city, if I wait, wouldn't I be sent to death, besides, now that you are strong and I am weak, it is naturally impossible to abandon your own strengths and come down to fight you! You Chu said with a smile.
"Huh,? I'm so terrible that I don't even have anyone to fight with? Mo Fan laughed.
"Hehe, the prestige of the general is naturally great, but if the general storms the city, I am not afraid of Youchu!"
After a war of words with the other party, Mo Fan, who made no progress, had to order an attack!
However, it was only a few catapults and some archers that attacked.
Of course, the archers here only use ordinary bows and arrows, and the Divine Crossbow Camp was not brought by Mo Fan.
Sparse fireballs and bows and arrows continued to fall on the city, this time the Wei army was prepared, all kinds of flammable materials were placed in a safe place, for the power of the enemy's arrows, You Chu had already heard of it, so he prepared a large number of shields.
Therefore, the damage inflicted by the Shu army below on the Wei army was completely negligible.
Mo Fan didn't expect these painless attacks to have any effect, he just did them to drain the enemy's energy. Sometimes he ordered the army to advance a few steps, sometimes he ordered the army to release a few cold arrows, and then shouted and cursed, and the time passed in a flash.
Seeing that the sun had risen to the middle, Mo Fan estimated it, and felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately ordered to withdraw his troops.
Immediately, the army left here in an orderly manner, leaving not a single corpse on the field, and there was no trace of the confrontation between the two armies.
"What a wheel battle, the enemy is a naked conspiracy, the enemy army takes advantage of the advantage of numbers, wave after wave of blockades outside the city, surround but not fight, until we are tired, then there will be no power to resist!" Watching the Shu army begin to withdraw, You Chu sighed.
"You Taishou, what's going on, what kind of conspiracy, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us if the enemy army didn't attack this city?" Jiang Xie was puzzled.
"Well, do you think we can fight at a high intensity all the time, and hold out until reinforcements come without resting? Look, they'll send new people in a while, and they'll use wheel warfare to grind us to death! You Chu shook his head and said.
"The enemy army is waiting for the moment when we are weak and tired!"
"Then You Taishou, what should we do now, it is impossible to keep going according to the plan designed by the enemy, but what is the way to break the plan?" Jiang Xie knew the seriousness of the matter and frowned.
"I said it was a conspiracy, you know, in this world, the conspiracy is easy to solve, the conspiracy is difficult to break, the conspiracy, even if we know this conspiracy, we can't break it! The one who came up with this plan must be a top wise man, but I don't know if this person is Zhuge Liang or Ma Yan, who has been in the ascendancy recently! You Chu looked at the tired soldiers around him, his brows furrowed.
"In this way, if the enemy's plan is completely successful, then the plan we drew up before, and retreat to Longxi County immediately after Guangwei County is breached, will also be in vain! If the soldiers are really tired, it is difficult to say whether they can escape to Longxi County smoothly! Jiang Xie immediately thought about it.
"That's right, now I can only take one step at a time!" You Chu nodded, and at the same time immediately said to the guards: "Quick, pass the order, five thousand people will guard the city, and the other five thousand people will go to rest immediately." ”
"Yes, General!" The guard who answered also had two dark circles under his eyes at the moment, and it could be seen that he was also tired from not resting for a long time.
Shu army troops!
Mo Fan retreated for only a mile before he encountered the oncoming Zhao Yun troops.
Zhao Yun also brought 20,000 soldiers, and all the soldiers knew that they were going to attack the enemy's city, and they were all very excited.
"General Zhao, I'll hand it over to you in a while, the enemy troops in the city must be extremely tired now after our long time of tossing, and the defense must be lax, you will take advantage of the situation to storm in a while, so that they can't rest for a moment!" Mo Fan confessed.
"Eh, don't worry, I'll make them suffer a little in a while, my treasure knife is not old, haha!"
"Of course, General Zhao's demeanor is still the same, and his prestige has not diminished back then, and the general is doing things, so I am naturally relieved." Mo Fan unreservedly took out the beautiful words in his stomach and praised.
"Hehe, Ma Yan, speaking of which, your plan is really amazing, even Marshal Zhuge couldn't stop admiring it, saying that this conspiracy can only be thought of by a wise man like you."
"Hehe, it's just a trick, why bother!"
Zhao Yun's troops, naturally, were specially arranged by Mo Fan, and if the enemy army really slackened, I believe they would definitely panic.
