The archers on the city wall were suppressed by the archers in the building car, and the soldiers were covered to build a mountain of soil, and then the archers were arranged on the earth mountain to release arrows to the Cao army on the city wall, killing and injuring the Cao army in large numbers.

The next day, after the soldiers had breakfast, Liu Bei immediately led his army to attack the city again, and attacked the city in the same way.

As the casualties of the Cao army on the city wall became larger and larger, the Cao army sergeants were a little unable to hold on, and Liu Bei's side had already ordered the sergeants to carry siege ladders and rambling hammers and start rushing towards the city wall.

A group of sergeants carried the siege ladder through the earth and mountains and rushed to the city wall, erected the siege ladder on the city wall, and one by one the sergeants began to climb the wooden ladder, and the Cao soldiers immediately appeared at the battlements on the city wall and threw stones downward.

"Ahh

Some of the battlements were poured with boiling water from the guards, and the sergeants on the wooden ladders screamed so badly that they let go of their hands and fell down.

But the soldiers of the Cao army on the city wall were also shot one after another by the archers on the building cart and the earth mountain, and both sides were fighting desperately.

On the left flank of Liu Beijun's army, there were 1,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 cavalry under Qin Feng, with the infantry inside and the cavalry outside.

In front of the two armies, Qin Feng watched the process of the siege battle and asked Xu Shu: "Mr. Yuanzhi, according to this kind of casualties, if the Cao army has no way to deal with it, how many days can they hold on?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Judging from the number of casualties yesterday, although the casualties of the Cao army are not small, but Liu Beijun did not take much advantage, after all, it is a siege battle, if you want to attack the city wall, you must have a sergeant to kill it, yesterday evening I went to Liu Bei's military camp to see the casualties, four hundred and twenty killed in one day, seven hundred and fifty wounded!" ”

"Cao Jun's casualties are not too clear, but they should not exceed Liu Beijun, according to this casualty comparison, Cao Jun's casualties are indeed relatively large, and it is estimated that it should not be a problem to hold out for three or five days!"

Although the defenders have the advantage of fortifying the city, because they have to defend the four city walls and city gates, the troops will be scattered, even if the main forces are deployed in the direction of Liu Beijun's main attack, the other three city walls and city gates must also leave some troops to prevent Liu Beijun from suddenly changing the direction of the main attack.

Therefore, the pressure on the defenders is actually no less than that of Liu Beijun.

Qin Feng asked, "Mr. Yuanzhi, do you think Xiahoudun will lead people to attack the camp at night?" ”

Xu Shu smiled, "If the general and Liu Xuande had just arrived with the army, Xiahoudun might have taken advantage of the unstable foothold of the general and Liu Xuande to lead the troops to attack the camp, but now it is not good, he is not so stupid, the camp of the general and Liu Bei is built sturdily and well guarded, even if he leads the troops to attack at night, it is impossible to succeed, but he may steal chickens and rice!" ”

"That's right!" Qin Feng nodded.

If the enemy army has already set up a solid camp, even if it has just arrived, even if the enemy army is exhausted, if the sneak attack party cannot break the camp wall at the first time, it will be a failure.

Changing to a shrewd enemy general may also set a trap for you to have no return.

Qin Feng said again: "If Cao Jun wants to turn the situation around, what should he do? ”

Xu Shu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin Feng, and said in his heart, this guy can actually think from the enemy's point of view? This is not simple, Qin Feng once again impressed Xu Shu.

Gu Xuan

He thought for a while and said: "Either they will destroy Liu Beijun's building car and prevent Liu Beijun from continuing to use the building car to cover the sergeants to build more earth mountains, as long as Liu Beijun builds enough earth mountains, the advantage of the city wall will be gone!" ”

"Or, when Liu Bei's army is attacking, they send a cavalry to attack from the flank, and then cooperate with the defenders in the city, inside and outside, Liu Bei's army will definitely be unable to resist and rout!"

Xu Shu's words made Qin Feng stunned, he touched his chin, thought of something, and then summoned a soldier to whisper a few words.

"Subordinates understood!" The soldier agreed, turned around and told the sergeants of the headquarters to leave quickly.

After this siege battle lasted for an hour, Liu Beijun's side once again invested a large number of troops.

Liu Bei is already ruthless, and now he is going to fight with the defenders for casualties, although his command is a rabble, but the victory lies in the large number of people, and although the Cao army is elite, the number is small, and it depends on who can't hold it first in the end.

At this time, a fast horse galloped from the left flank of the army, and the shouts up and down the city wall drowned out the sound of the knight's hooves, and Qin Feng still saw this knight in the afterglow of his eyes.

This man is a sentry.

"Li-General Qiyu, six miles away from our left flank, we found a cavalry with a number of two thousand, all men and horses, marching fast!"

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, he turned his head to look at Xu Shu, "Mr. Yuanzhi, you have said it, Xun Yu and Xiahoudun really still have a cavalry!" Who, then, didn't you wait for you to wait ten miles away to guard and investigate? Why did the enemy enter our flank for six miles and find out? ”

"General Hui, this cavalry appeared suddenly, and I don't know where they came from!"

Qin Feng touched his chin and ordered: "Send an order to Lu Meng on the right flank, let him prepare to meet the ironclad cavalry of the Cao army attacking from the right flank!" ”

"Order!" The herald clenched his fists in agreement, and the horse galloped away quickly to the right flank.

Xu Shu couldn't help but ask: "How did the general know that there was another cavalry that would come from the right flank?" ”

Qin Feng said: "Sir doesn't know, our Xizuo once found out that the Cao army has an ironclad cavalry of three or four thousand people, and the specific deployment is unknown, but just now the sentry cavalry reported that there were only two thousand enemies, so what about the rest?" If you want to cause the maximum lethal effect to our army, the ironclad cavalry can be divided into two parts and staggered to charge in the opposite direction, since one of 2,000 people comes from the left flank of our army, and the other will definitely come from the right flank, if I am the leading general of this Cao army cavalry, I will definitely deploy like this! ”

"Without further ado, Mr. will stay here for the time being, and I will lead the army to meet this ironclad cavalry for a while!"

Under the command of Qin Feng, the 1,000 cavalry had turned a ninety-degree bend at the fastest speed, forming ten columns facing the invading Cao army's tiger and leopard cavalry.

Behind Qin Feng's thousand-man cavalry, there were more than 100 people digging palm-sized pits on the grass, and after digging them, they were covered with weeds, and some people were digging several large pits side by side in the north and south directions, and the digging speed was very fast.

Behind the 1,000 cavalry turned en masse, facing behind the 1,000 cavalrymen, the infantry spearmen stepped forward, dug a small hole in the ground with their weapons, and inserted the end of the spears diagonally into the hole, so that the rows formed a dense spear formation, while the sword and shield soldiers stepped forward and protected the spearmen and themselves with shields, and the archers waited with their bows in the back.
