Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 511

The battle of Chengdu City began at noon on the [-]th day of the first lunar month in the second year of Chuping.

"attack!"

"Siege engine!"

"Up the ladder!"

"Release all the Jinglan carts!"

"onslaught!"

If the Dongzhou soldiers led by Zhang Ren were a little naive before, after several months of battles, they have changed from recruits to veterans, and their combat effectiveness has doubled. In addition to Zhang Ren's force and command ability, they have played 120% combat effectiveness.

"what happened?"

Jia Long walked up to the top of the city and looked at the crowds of people's heads below the city: "Is Liu Yan unable to sit still?"

"Patriarch, they are attacking fiercely!"

A general said bitterly.

"Hold on!"

Jia Long said coldly: "No matter what, Chengdu City must be defended!"

Although he has already lost [-]% of this battle, even if there is still a [-]% chance, he will fight it out. This is not something that can be solved by surrendering. Kill them all.

So he can only fight.

"Yes!"

All the generals in the Yizhou army are members of the gentry. In this era, the family is more important than everything else, so it is natural to respect the leader of the Yizhou gentry, the Jia family.

The Dongzhou Army's attack was fierce.

But the combat effectiveness of the Yizhou Army is not weak.

The battle intensified.

On the first day of attack, the Yizhou army was still stable.

Attacking the next day, the Dongzhou Army increased its troops, and the Yizhou Army suddenly panicked.

"Send me troops from the East City!"

Jia Long had no choice but to dispatch soldiers and horses from the west city of Chengdu to defend.

On the third day, the Dongzhou Army gathered all the main forces and stormed the northern city wall. Jia Long had no choice but to let Chengdu City be breached, so he could only continue to mobilize troops from all directions.

But when the fourth day came, the north city wall was extremely quiet.

"Boom boom boom!!!!"

The drums of war sounded from the east city wall, and the Dongzhou army began to attack the east city wall before dawn. When the drums sounded, the main force came out in full force. The direct and fierce offensive almost broke the defense of the east city.

In less than three hours, more than [-] soldiers died in battle on the east city.

It wasn't until Jia Long personally pulled the troops from the North City over that he stabilized the defense of the East City.

After this battle, the morale of the Yizhou army was greatly damaged.

But the Dongzhou army's attack is still going on, they have repeatedly attacked the east city wall, without success for several days, and then moved to the south gate of the city gate...

The war is in full swing, but the Baibo barracks is ready to wait.

"Zhicai, after a few days, the Dongzhou army suffered a lot of casualties. It seems that Liu Yan will lose his composure soon!"

Huang Zhong has been paying attention to the progress of the battle.

"It looks like a trick, but it's a hard fight!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "If Liu Yan can't see through it, I can't help it either!"

His suggestion was true, but it was actually a strategy that he talked about with eloquence. It was simple to say, but it was not simple to act.

"Then next..."

"Play for us!"

Xi Zhicai interrupted Huang Zhong and said, "How are you preparing?"

"Dry rations, weapons, and battle armor are all ready. Give up everything else!" Huang Zhong said: "After the tenth day of the first lunar month, the weather has warmed up a lot. Although the ice and snow haven't melted yet, I believe the road will be much easier. Give me three Day, you can go to Jiange!"

"it is good!"

Xi Zhicai said, "Leave tonight!"

"Tonight?"

"The purpose of my advice to Miyagi is to put Zhang Ren on top of the Chengdu campaign. Although I have selfish intentions in offering advice, it will indeed speed up their attack on Chengdu. After all, it is not surprising that such a head-to-head battle lasts for two or three months. Looking at it now Come, between half a month and one month, Chengdu will be destroyed!"

Xi Zhicai said: "The reason why I offered advice to Liu Yan is to allow our main force to go north. I will go to fight in a while and attack the northern city. As soon as our army is separated from the main force, we will go north immediately!"

"Will Liu Yan allow it? He refused before?"

"If it were you, and you watched the Dongzhou Army fight so hard while the Baibo Army took it easy, would you allow it?"

"Yes!"

"He will too!" Xi Zhicai said confidently: "Liu Yan wants to take Chengdu, he wants to go crazy. Before that, he couldn't see the casualties of the Dongzhou Army, so naturally he wouldn't let the Baibo Army grow bigger. Now that the Dongzhou army has suffered so many casualties, at this time, I take the initiative to invite the battle, and he can only ask for it!"

……

Dongzhou military camp tent.

"How many casualties?" Liu Yan had a gloomy expression.

"No less than three thousand!"

Zhang Ren said bitterly: "Although the soldiers and horses in the city were distracted by us, they are still trying their best to stop them. We almost broke through the east city and entered the city before, but in the end it was a failure!"

"The strategy of attacking the east and the west is very good, but it is useless!"

Liu Yan sighed.

"My lord, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred yourself. Casualties are inevitable!" Zhang Ren cupped his hands and said, "But should Huang Zhong and his soldiers be moved?"

"This..." Liu Yan gritted his teeth: "He asked for a fight before, but I refused, but now it seems that I am a little short-sighted. If I take the prisoners, I can give them to them. Even if the Baibo army grows stronger, if there is no such Family, it is difficult to become a big trend!"

"captive?"

Zhang Ren didn't expect this to happen, he said quickly: "My lord, it's actually not difficult, just let them attack the city, don't let them break the city, as long as our Dongzhou army breaks the city a moment earlier, the Yizhou army It was confiscated by us a long time ago, and they will have nothing to complain about."

"Yup!"

Liu Yan's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of it.

"My lord, Xi Zhicai is seeking a meeting outside the camp!"

At this time a guard came to report.

"Let him in!" Liu Yan's pupils lit up slightly, and he was about to summon him, but here he came, which hit him right in his arms.

"Subordinate Xi Zhicai, pay homage to Mr. Envoy!"

"Zhicai!"

Liu Yan waved his hand: "The war is not good, what should I do?"

It was the siege strategy presented by Xi Zhicai. Now that the siege is not going well, it is naturally on his shoulders. It happened to be an opportunity to force the Baibo army to send troops to attack.

"Damn it!"

Xi Zhicai directly admitted: "It's because the subordinates' calculations were not precise enough. I thought that the Dongzhou Army could complete the strategic deployment alone. However, although the Dongzhou Army is strong, it is still a little far from breaking the city alone!"

When Zhang Ren heard this, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

This is a mockery of his lack of strength in the Eastern State Army.

But he couldn't hold back his breath, remained silent, and continued to let Xi Zhicai speak.

"That's why this subordinate proposes to let the Baibo army attack!"

Xi Zhicai said calmly.

It means admitting punishment.

If Dong Fu was here, with Dong Fu's caution, he must be more vigilant against Xi Zhicai's sudden enthusiasm, but Xi Zhicai knew that Dong Fu was not easy, and suggested from the very beginning that external turmoil and internal response Strategic deployment, Liu Yan's subordinates, those who can be used will not move. If you want to completely instigate some gentry in the city, you must have a responsible person with status to go to the city to persuade. Dong Fu is the best candidate. At that time, Dong Fu had already been secretly sent into the city.

"You said let the Baibo army attack?"

Liu Yan was a little surprised, but this proposal just hit his mind, how could he object: "That's very good!"

"However, Lord Shijun, I suggest that we divide our forces and attack!"

Xi Zhicai suggested again.

"Divide the troops and attack?" Liu Yan asked, "How?"

"The main force of the Dongzhou army has stormed three city gates these days, which has attracted great attention from the city. If the Baibo army attacks the Dongzhou army, it will only increase the strength of the attack, but it will not be able to break through the city!"

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, "The Dongzhou army will attack the west city next. After the Dongzhou army has attracted the main force, the Baibo army will break through the north gate, and then they will drive straight in!"

"This method is not bad!"

Zhang Rendao: "Then why didn't the Baibo army lure the thieves, and our Dongzhou army attacked. Could it be that Mr. Xi thinks that our Dongzhou army can't break into the city?"

"No!"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "The Yizhou army is already familiar with the Dongzhou army's attack, and the sudden change of troops to attack will let them know that there is still a main force outside the city. At that time, he will be heavily guarded and even recruit young men from the city. How can we be caught by surprise!"

"This one……"

Zhang Ren wanted to refute, but could not.

"It's important to break the city!"

Liu Yan thought for a while, and looked carefully at Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai's flattery now gave him a feeling of sincerely serving himself, which made him make up his mind: "Just follow what Zhicai said. OK!"

"My lord is wise!"

Xi Zhicai said again: "I have an idea. The Dongzhou army will attack immediately. The Baibo army will lead the army to go northward to the north city gate overnight. In just one day, at noon tomorrow, Chengdu will be destroyed!"

"it is good!"

Liu Yan agreed.

……

That night, the Dongzhou army attacked the west city gate, and the Baibo army, right under Liu Yan's eyes, packed up their things swaggeringly, and marched northward overnight...
