819 - What to listen to
The main force of the siege was the group of grassroots officers who came out of the military academy.
These people have the experience of simulating siege in the military academy, and even have Yao Yu building a city model for them to deduce.
Under their operation, all kinds of siege tools played a 12 percent role.
Even, just dispatching thousands of people, without any of the generals pressing the formation, just relying on their command ability made Li Xiong feel a great pressure.
Compared with the previous offensive and defensive battles in Jiangzhou, Li Xiongcai finally felt the strong combat power of the Jingzhou army.
In just one morning, several battalions attacked the wall.
At first glance, the head of Dongcheng City is full of Jingzhou soldiers and horses.
As a Taifu, Li Xiang drew his sword early to supervise the battle at the head of the city, but even so, he was still defeated under the suppression of the Jingzhou army.
There is no way, although the defending side has the will to defend it, it has no hope of holding on.
There are 60,000 or 70,000 troops outside the city, and there are only a few thousand people on his side, even if he repels this wave of attacks, what about the next wave?
Li Bi's reinforcements will take at least twelve days or so to arrive, and it is only the first day, and it is a little unbearable, and it is difficult to imagine how to resist in the next ten days.
As a last resort, Li Xiong, as the Son of Heaven, had no choice but to come forward in person and lead his troops to resist in the city.
With Li Xiong's intervention, the situation was finally stabilized.
Yao Yu under the city was extremely satisfied with the ability of this group of military cadets, and he didn't think about taking Chengdu in one day, he just needed to prove his strength to the city.
No, it was only noon, and Yao Yu ordered the siege army to withdraw and repair.
This made Wang Xuance, who was in the second echelon and was ready to attack, very surprised, and directly rushed into the Chinese military tent to find Yao Yu and asked: "My lord, how can this Li Xiong not be our opponent, why did he withdraw his troops at the most critical moment?" โ
For the quick-tempered Wang Xuance, Yao Yuna is also used to it.
He patted his head and said helplessly: "You know a fart, this is the first wave of temptation, and Li Xiong, who is the Son of Heaven, will end up in person." If you increase your efforts at this time, even if you win Chengdu, it will be a lot of casualties, anyway, Li Xiong's hole cards have been tested, so why bother for a while? Rather than this, it is better to spare them once. I believe that after thinking about it this night, the defenders of the city will also understand the difference in strength between the two sides. When they do it again tomorrow, do you guess their will to resist will be as strong as it is today? Well? โ
Wang Xuance stared in confusion, and he didn't know if he understood it.
But he did understand one thing, and that was that there was still a battle tomorrow.
Immediately, Wang Xuance rubbed his hands together and excitedly asked Yao Yu for battle: "My lord, if you attack the city tomorrow, you have to let me fight this first battle." โ
Yao Yu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Okay, okay, let you go." But it's okay to let you go, you give me a little care, don't rush in again. Although Li Xiong has been driven to the end of the road. But he is also a self-made prince. Not to be underestimated. โ
Wang Xuance nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, my lord, you can just take a look." โ
There was nothing to say that night, and early the next morning, Wang Xuance led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, plus the thousands of people allocated to him by Yao Yu, formed a battle formation and marched towards the head of Chengdu.
Just as Yao Yu guessed, Wang Xuance entered the city first and killed several generals who defended the city in a row.
It was Li Xiong who personally came forward and led the Praetorian Guards in the palace to resist desperately, so he barely stopped Wang Xuance's offensive.
It's just that what Li Xiong can't accept is that the second and third waves of siege soldiers arranged by Yao Yu, under the leadership of Shen Lin Lianjun, have already boarded the south gate and the north gate.
Seeing that the city wall was about to be breached, Li Xiong gritted his teeth and had no choice but to make the decision to withdraw to the inner city.
Otherwise, by the time Wang Xuance and Shen Lin and they broke through the city, the thousands of defenders on the head of the city would be defeated.
However, at this time, the shouting of killing outside the north gate shook the sky, and the accident suddenly occurred.
ยทยทยท
Originally, Yao Yu was watching the excitement under the city, but in his opinion, Li Xiong's department had lost the most basic combat effectiveness, and his trebuchet had not yet exerted its strength, so Li Xiong couldn't stop it.
(This chapter is not finished!) )

If it goes well, Bao Buqi will be able to occupy Chengdu at night and capture Li Xiong.
But the world is impermanent, just when the three armies were advancing smoothly, the change in the direction of the north gate directly made Yao Yu's face sink.
He hurriedly called out to Lu Bi to ask what was going on.
Lu Bi Hexiong had been staying by Yao Yu's side all the time, and he was also confused about the situation outside. Just when Lu Bi received the order and was about to go out to investigate the situation, a shadow guard ran in quickly from outside the tent of the Chinese army, and knelt down in front of Yao Yu: "My lord, Li Yun and Li Huang gave up Hanzhong and withdrew their troops to rescue Chengdu." Outside the north gate, it was Li Yun's army. โ
When Yao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but scold.
At this time, Lian Jun at the north gate was attacking the city, and Li Yun jumped out at this time, isn't this sincere trouble.
At best, Li Yun entered the city and helped Li Xiong stabilize the situation.
At worst, Lian Jun was cut off by Li Yun to retreat, if there is a mistake, the thousands of soldiers and horses led by Lian Jun will be heavy.
Realizing this, Yao Yu hurriedly gathered the generals.
"Brother Bao, you and Brother Gong Kong Xiao hurriedly led the Wuqian battalion to stop Li Yun and respond to Lian Jun. Fang Yi, Sha Mosong, Guan Lie, you march with me and occupy Chengdu before Li Yun's army enters the city! โ
Everyone replied yes, and the army under Yao Yu began to act instantly.
However, just before leaving the camp, the news came back that Lian Jun was defeated by Li Yun, and Li Yun's troops had already entered the city.
Getting this news, Yao Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's broken, it's really afraid of something.
Wen Xu Sun Yi and Zhuge Yufu all looked at each other, hesitated for a few seconds and said: "My lord, there are only a few thousand people in the Lian Jun General's military department, how can they be the opponent of Li Yun's tens of thousands of troops. Defeat is also reasonable. โ
Yao Yu sighed heavily, and couldn't help sighing.
Unexpectedly, Li Yun would give up Hanzhong to stir up the situation. I knew that I would have attacked overnight yesterday.
Now it's okay, let's get away with it.
"The siege plan has failed, Brother Bao, you and Brother Gong and Kong Xiao will go to pick up Lian Jun back. Fang Yi, pass my order and let Xuan Ce and Shen Lin come down. Li Yun's army entered the city, and Chengdu could not be taken in a short time. โ
After listening to Yao Yu's order, everyone was a little confused: "My lord, the advantage is still in the hands of our army, if we add troops at this time, we may not be able to take Chengdu." โ
Yao Yu just shook his head when he heard this, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of Chengdu: "Listen." โ
The crowd was puzzled: "Listen to what?" โ
"Listen to the cries of the defenders of the city. Li Yun's reinforcements arrived, and the morale of these defenders was high, do you think we still have a chance to attack the city at this time? โ
