Chapter 155
"My lord, there is news from the front that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army is not far away, and they will arrive in Ye County within two days at the earliest!"
In the State Shepherd's Mansion in Ye County, Gongsun Yue was convening Xi Zhicai, Li Cunxiao and others to discuss the next action. Zhao Yun first reported the military situation of the frontline detectives.
"Mr. Zhicai, although our army has occupied Ye County, the people in the city are in panic, and it is difficult to settle down in a short time. I wonder if there is a way to retreat from the enemy?"
"My lord, I have a plan. I can repel the enemy without a single soldier. It's just that it will damage the peace of heaven, and I'm afraid I will be punished by heaven."
"Mr. Zhicai, this method is absolutely impossible, and we cannot guarantee victory forever. If we change our positions and the enemy does this, what will we think?
Moreover, this strategy kills one thousand enemies and harms eight hundred, and it will also chill the hearts of the soldiers. Our army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. If it is spread, it will only make the people of the world abandon it. Let's talk about other methods! "
Just when the other generals in the hall were still wondering, Gongsun Yue had already interrupted Xi Zhicai, telling him to swallow back the so-called plan.
"My lord is benevolent and righteous! Even if we don't use this bad strategy, if our army defends Jiancheng, no matter how many Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have, they will not be able to capture Ye County.
After all, they don't have so many siege equipment. Our army can send Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the First Army of the Huben Army, and the Third Army of the Huben Army to harass the enemy outside the city, while the rest of the soldiers stand firm inside the city. , will definitely withdraw by itself.
Moreover, Xiapi Lu Bu and Runan Yuan Shu will definitely lead troops to help. Although they are short-sighted, they still have people with vision under their command. They understand that if they don't send troops to support our army, they will dig their own graves!
After Lv Bu and Yuan Shu's army arrives, we will join forces to attack them again. In this way, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be defeated, and the three counties of Yangping, Guangping and Weijun will be captured! "
After hearing Xi Zhicai's strategy, Li Cunxiao, Yang Zaixing, Xin Qiji, Ta Dun and others all called for a fight. They preferred to stay outside the city and fight mobilely rather than stick to it inside the city.
"Mr. Zhicai's plan is indeed feasible. Feihu, Zaixing, you can lead tigers and leopards to fight outside the city, but you must follow Yingxiang's orders. If you violate military orders, this general will definitely follow Military law is engaged!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the First Army of the Huben Army, and the Third Army of the Huben Army would have much greater autonomy in maneuvering outside the city. Gongsun Yue was really worried that they would become wild horses that had run wild and fell into the enemy's tricks.
"My lord, it's better to keep Yingxiang in the city, the final general is willing to personally lead the troops to support him outside!"
As the commander of this battle, Di Qing is now at the decisive battle. The cavalry outside the city is one of the keys to the success of the city defense, and his military exploits are so great that he can deter Li Cunxiao and Yang Zaixing. Cloud is more suitable.
"Mr. Zhicai, what do you think of Hanchen's suggestion?"
Although his heart was moved, Gongsun Yue still decided to listen to Xi Zhicai's opinion first.
"My lord, the key to this battle is not inside the city but outside the city. General Hanchen is indeed the most suitable candidate."
After getting the affirmative answer from Xi Zhicai, Gongsun Yue immediately made a decision, with Di Qing as the main general, assisted by generals such as Li Cunxiao, Yang Zaixing, Xin Qiji, and Ta Dun, to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the First Army of the Huben Army, and the Third Army of the Huben Army. A total of 2 people attacked and harassed the enemy outside the city.
Watching the cavalry roar away, Gongsun Yue appointed Yue Yun as the city guard and Zhao Yun as his deputy, and handed over all the soldiers in the city to them for deployment.
Five days later, Cao Cao's and Yuan Shao's troops arrived late. Nearly [-] troops were stationed outside the city, with tents covering the sky and the sun.
"Su Dingfang, you have done your best for this crime, let the brothers rest for one night, and attack the city early tomorrow morning. The cavalry outside the city will be handed over to you and General Xue. They must not be allowed to harass the infantry and attack the city. If it cannot be stopped, the two of you will raise your head." Come and see!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Looking at the angry Yuan Shao, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning. He didn't have any losses in this battle, so he wanted to take a step back, but if he really dared to do this, he might have to tear himself apart with Yuan Shao.
"Shi Wansui, Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Cao Hong, starting tomorrow, you will lead the infantry to attack the city. No matter how much you pay, you must take Yecheng!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After arranging everything properly, Su Dingfang dismissed the group of people and sat alone in the big tent, with the angry look on his face that lasted for a long time.
Before leaving the military tent, Cao Cao opened his mouth, intending to persuade Yuan Shao, but seeing Yuan Shao's expression remained fixed, he swallowed the words again.
Cao Cao, who left the military tent, called Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xue Rengui, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Cao Hong and others into his military tent to discuss matters.
"Rengui, Yuanrang, Wenqian, Zilian, the possibility of our victory in this battle is not great. You must not rush to the forefront in tomorrow's battle. You must maintain enough strength for our army, understand?"
"Yes, my lord!"
After arranging a group of generals, Cao Cao had another secret talk with Xun Yu and Guo Jia, which didn't end until late at night.
On the second day, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army buried pots and cooked food at Chenshi, and began to attack the city at Sishi. With the sound of attacking drums, dense numbers of soldiers began to swarm towards the four walls of Ye County.
The effect of the god arm crossbow in attacking the city is limited, but it can be used to defend the city. The crossbow arrows are shot at the siege army, and each crossbow arrow will harvest the lives of several siege soldiers.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the ladder had already been built on the city wall, Shi Wansui personally took the lead in attacking the city, and the real hand-to-hand combat officially began.
The siege warfare in the era of cold weapons is like a mill of flesh and blood. Although the siege army of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had catapults and crossbow carts, their number was far less than that of Gongsun Yue who was defending the city, and they did not have an advantage in equipment.
When the infantry attacked the city, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui also led their cavalry to resist the attack of the cavalry outside the city. However, Su Dingfang was not overwhelmed by anger. There is no good way at the moment.
As dusk approached, gunpowder smoke still filled the battlefield, and the besieging army receded like a tide, but after a while, new soldiers rushed up, holding torches and continuing to attack.
Yuan Shao ordered his soldiers to continue attacking the city day and night, which consumed a lot of arrows and soldiers on both sides. After nearly ten days of stalemate, Yecheng was still as stable as a rock in the sea, but something happened in the rear.
The [-] cavalry led by Zhang Liao arrived at the base of Liyang City first, but were blocked by the defenders of Liyang City. Seeing that they could not advance an inch, they had to detour and rush to the base of Ye County.
After Yuan Shu's army arrived at Liyang City, relying on their superior strength, they launched a strong attack on Liyang City. Unfortunately, the defenders of Liyang City were extremely tenacious, and the attack for several days had no effect.
Thank you book friends for voting and rewarding, Yanyu will continue to work hard to update!
