I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 164 The Great War Still Continues
Until now, Zhang Xi still has a hole card that is useless.

This hole card is exactly one of Zhang Yun's elite troops.

Under Cao Cao's command, there is a camp, and there are elite troops such as tiger and leopard cavalry.

Before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was the largest vassal in the world, so he naturally had this kind of troops under his command.

Ju Yi's first ascended dead soldiers were an elite unit under Yuan Shao. In addition to Ju Yi's first ascended dead soldiers, Zhang Xi also had such an elite unit.

Euphorbia warriors.

Zhang He's euphorbia soldiers, like Zhang Liao's camp, were heavy armored infantry.

Everyone is wearing heavy armor and holding a halberd, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

Zhang Xi's euphorbia soldiers have not been used until now.

Hearing what military advisor Tian Feng said, Zhang He immediately understood.

The enemy army has already used such elites as the trapped camp, which just shows that they are at the end of their wits.

In Zhang Yun's hand, he still kept the trump card of Euphorbia warrior.

After thinking about this, Zhang Liao immediately ordered that the whole army have a good meal tonight and take a good rest.

Then, attack Ye City immediately tomorrow morning.

As for the offensive tactics, it is still the same as today.

The soldiers and horses under his command were divided into three waves, and they attacked one by one to fight with the enemy in Yecheng.

The difference is that this time Zhang He hid his elite euphorbia soldiers among the ordinary soldiers who attacked in the third wave.

There is no doubt that among the ordinary soldiers there is a special force with strong combat effectiveness.

As long as the enemy troops on the city wall are a little negligent, Zhang He is sure to be able to take Yecheng.

After thinking about how to play tomorrow, Zhang Yun also took a good rest, recharging his energy and preparing for tomorrow's battle.

Early the next morning, bursts of cooking smoke burned above Zhang Yun's camp.

The brothers in Huotouying got up to cook before dawn. After eating this meal, Zhang He was going to lead his troops to storm Yecheng.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall were already in full battle.

However, compared to Zhang Yun's army under the city, Su Ming's side was much more embarrassed.

The [-] strong men gathered by the aristocratic families can only be used to carry supplies, and Su Ming will never let these strong men go to the battlefield unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because, not to mention the poor combat effectiveness of untrained men, once the casualties are too large, they are likely to be defeated.

On the battlefield, once it is defeated, it will be like a flood that opens the gate, and it will be out of control.

Therefore, the main combat force on the battlefield now is still the five thousand private troops gathered by the aristocratic family.

As for Zhang Liao's camp, due to the small number, it can only play the role of a firefighter.

After yesterday's great battle, the [-] private troops collected by the aristocratic family were not lightly injured, only about [-] people remained.

"My lord, there is smoke from the kitchen. After dinner, Yuan Jun will come to attack the city." Zhang Liao pointed to the smoke from the kitchen.

As soon as Zhang Liao's words fell, Tai Shici immediately continued: "He comes to attack, let him attack, how can we be afraid that he will fail?"

Tai Shici was very dissatisfied with Zhang Jaw under the city. In Tai Shici's view, Zhang Jaw was just relying on his superiority in strength.

Fifty thousand against five thousand, even if Yecheng was conquered, there is nothing to be proud of.

It's a pity that the five thousand soldiers under their command are just private soldiers with extremely poor discipline.

If they were regular soldiers, why would they be afraid of Zhang Jaw's [-] troops.

"Zhang Jai is eager to capture Ye City, firstly to wash away his shame, and secondly, to have a place to stay so that they can welcome their eldest son Yuan Tan to preside over the overall situation."

"Mistakes are bound to happen in haste. Once he, Zhang Yun, is in a hurry, troubles will inevitably arise."

"Wen Yuan doesn't need to worry. I guess it will take a day or two at most before our reinforcements will arrive." Su Ming said slowly.

Zhang Yun led some cavalry to the city first, and after waiting for a day, the large army arrived. It took some time for Zhang Yun to build siege equipment, and then, another battle went through yesterday.

It has been five or six days since Zhang Yun arrived in Yecheng until now.

Su Ming counted the days, and Qu'a should have found Cao Cao's army. Thinking about it, Cao Cao's reinforcements should be on their way now.

There are still about [-] people left in the private army gathered by the aristocratic family, and Zhang Liao's trapped camp has not suffered much casualties. Now there are about [-] people, which is basically a full combat force.

It can be said that Su Ming's troops still maintain a relatively good combat effectiveness.

After several days of guarding, Su Ming felt that there was no problem at all.

Therefore, he was not afraid of Zhang Yun under the city.

Just as Su Ming and the others expected, after the smoke cleared, it didn't take long for Zhang Yun's army to attack the city.

The entire rhythm of the siege was exactly the same as yesterday.

Do not!
Today's offensive rhythm is faster and stronger than yesterday's.

Obviously, Zhang Yun should have made a big promise to these soldiers who attacked the city. Once Yecheng is captured, these soldiers will be rewarded greatly.

Wave after wave of Yuan Jun soldiers charged, like waves crashing against the embankment.

Soon, under the walls of Yecheng, there were densely packed corpses of soldiers who died in battle.

Su Ming's rhythm of defending the city is still the same as yesterday.

Crossbow arrows, thunder stones and rolling logs, all seem to be thrown down for free.

Su Ming has been standing on the city wall, constantly observing the situation under the city wall.

Today's situation is even a little more optimistic than yesterday's.

From morning till noon, the city wall was still firmly in the hands of Su Ming and the others.

As before, the incident where Jiao Chu led troops to attack the city wall did not happen today.

In fact, it was an accident that Jiao Touch was able to capture the city wall yesterday.

In the art of war, it is said that encircle it five times and attack it ten times.

Now, Zhang He's strength is exactly ten times that of Su Ming.

Therefore, in this offensive and defensive battle of Yecheng, the winning percentage of both sides should be [-]-[-].

At least, in a short period of time, it is [-]-[-]. It may be a protracted war. With the casualties of soldiers, Su Ming's winning rate will become lower and lower.

However, being climbed onto the city wall on the first day, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened.

Yesterday, the main reason why Jiao Touch attacked the city wall was that these five thousand private troops had never fought a siege battle.

The first time they fought a siege, they were caught off guard by such a fierce attack from Zhang Xi's troops.

That's why Jiao Chu led people up to the city wall.

After a great battle yesterday, although the five thousand private troops suffered one thousand casualties, they became four thousand private troops.

However, it was also yesterday's battle that made them familiar with the rhythm of the siege battle.

If they call again today, they won't be caught off guard and don't know what to do.

It's a blessing in disguise. Although these private troops suffered a thousand casualties, their combat effectiveness was not inferior to yesterday's.
