The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 522 Reinforcements Arrive
Three days later, Zhou Yu's army began to march towards Kuaiji. In fact, Shanyue had already started to attack the city yesterday, but the ladder they had just built was quickly destroyed by the defense arranged by Zhu Huan, so yesterday's attack on the city made them fail again. After all, the real siege battle is much more difficult than Shamoko imagined.

Today, Sha Moke led the army to attack again, and decided to use the remaining ladders to attack the top of the city in one go.Wei Yan and Zhu Huan stood on the top of the city to check. At this time, Zhu Huan had become calm. He smiled and said, "Shanyue people are really funny. It would be too naive to want to attack our city with this ability."

"If the fight continues like this, even if we don't need reinforcements to rescue us, we will be able to exhaust the strength of the Shanyue Army. They should have lost thousands of troops yesterday. In addition to the previous total of 6000 or 5000 people, the number of Shanyue people who can go to the battlefield now is about [-]. With around [-] people, as long as we have enough bows and arrows and rolling stones and trees, we can defend Kuaiji." Wei Yan was full of confidence.

"Woo——" There was a long and heavy horn sound from the north. Wei Yan was already a veteran in the army, and he immediately heard that reinforcements were coming. He immediately looked to the north, "It should be the soldiers and horses aided by Zhou Yu. I don't know how many people he brought to rescue."

"I'll go to the north gate to have a look." After Zhu Huan finished speaking, he immediately ran to the north gate to check. Although there was still some distance, he could clearly see countless soldiers and horses coming from the north, kicking up dust that covered the sky and covered the sun. At first glance, you can tell that there are a lot of people. When the army gradually approaches, you can see many flags erected on the opposite side. Among them, the word "Zhou" is embroidered on the highest flag, and you can tell at a glance that it is Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses.

"I heard that Zhou Yu's subordinates are all recruits, but they are neatly lined up, the lineup is solemn, and the armor is neat and clear. They don't look like recruits at all. Zhou Yu is really good at running the army." After all, Zhu Huan had served Sun Ce, so he knew Zhou Yu's strength very well.

Shanyue attacked the city by encircling three towers and one. There were no soldiers from Shanyue at the north gate. Zhu Huan wanted to send someone down to bring Zhou Yu's troops into the city, but he saw a fast horse rushing to the bottom of the city. He looked down and saw a familiar person. After thinking for a while, he remembered that it was Chen Wu.

Chen Wu raised his head and looked up, seeing that the guard above was Zhu Huan, he was also taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Huan to be here, he still had a deep impression of Zhu Huan, Zhu Huan started to fight when he was very young They went out with the army, but at that time they followed Sun Ce, and now their lord has become Li Yuan.

"Is that Zhu Huan up there?" Chen Wu raised his head and shouted, his voice was so loud that Zhu Huan up there could hear him clearly.

"It's me, General Chen, wait a moment, I will immediately send someone to open the city gate to welcome the army."

"General Zhu doesn't need to open the door. Our army will not enter the city. We will go around the city and attack Shanyue in a while. We will surely kill them all." Chen Wu did not wait for Zhu Huan to reply, and turned his horse back. army.

"Attack Shanyue directly without entering the city?" Zhu Huan was stunned for a while before he realized that relying on city defense to consume the Shanyue army is the best strategy. After all, Shanyue people are not good at attacking cities, and they still have With more than 3 troops, if he really wanted to attack Zhou Yu head-on, he might lose a lot of soldiers, but he couldn't change Zhou Yu's decision, so he could only go back and tell Wei Yan.

In fact, Zhou Yu, who Zhu Huan thought of, would not have thought of it. Of course, Zhou Yu knew that relying on the defense of the city could consume Shanyue's troops, but in this way, he would not be able to achieve his goal. His purpose was twofold, one was to subdue Shanyue, and the other It is to train the recruits, so it is unavoidable to attack Shanyue head-on, otherwise Shanyue will retreat if the siege fails, and Shanyue cannot be given a chance to escape, so they must attack first and cut off their retreat.

Zhu Huan returned to the south gate and told Wei Yan about Zhou Yu's idea of ​​attacking Shanyue directly. It's too late to stop him, so let's watch how he attacks from the city." Wei Yan knew how powerful Zhou Yu was, and he heard that Zhao Yun's flying cavalry also suffered a lot from Zhou Yu's hands, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes. Take a look at how Zhou Yu led troops to fight.

At this time, Shanyue, who was attacking the city, also noticed something was wrong. They could hear an abnormal sound coming from the north. This situation would only happen when the army came. Samoke called Chen Ce over and said: "Chen Ce , You immediately send someone to the north to check what happened and whether the enemy's reinforcements are coming."

"Yes." Chen Ce immediately sent someone to inquire about the news.Sha Moke patted his head and realized: "By the way, I suddenly forgot a very important thing."

"What's the matter?" Chen Ce looked at Sha Moke anxiously, and he sensed something was wrong.

"I forgot that the enemy could send soldiers and horses to rescue in Wu County. Let's suspend the siege first, and the enemy's army may come in a while." Shamoke ordered to retreat and stop the siege, and the Shanyue army who was attacking was ordered Immediately after that, they withdrew their troops and retreated. They had wanted to retreat a long time ago. Facing a siege battle that had no chance of winning, they could not afford to attack at all.

Before the army retreated completely, the soldiers who had just gone to inquire about the news came back and said: "Chief, the enemy has indeed gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in the north. It seems that there may be tens of thousands of people. They are already very close to the city. Attack here."

"Sure enough, are they going to enter the city or attack directly?" Shamoke asked again.

"They didn't enter the city, so it's better for us to retreat as soon as possible. I saw them split their soldiers and horses into two and attack directly around the city!" soldiers and horses.

"The enemy actually has tens of thousands of reinforcements, Sha Moke, didn't you say that there are only [-] enemy soldiers in Wu County? Why did tens of thousands of troops suddenly appear? We can't fight this battle." Chen Ce said angrily. , They couldn't even attack a Kuaiji for a long time, and now they have to face the enemy's tens of thousands of troops. This situation is very unfavorable to them.

"My information is definitely not wrong. There were only [-] soldiers in Wu County, and now there are so many soldiers and horses that must have been transferred from other places. I didn't expect their response to be so fast. The enemy's morale has been improved for the first time Zhengsheng, we have been attacking Kuaiji for a long time and our morale has been low. It is not suitable to fight them head-on at this time, so we should retreat quickly!" This time even Shamoke agreed to retreat, and Chen Ce and other leaders immediately led all the troops to run back. When attacking, they did not work hard, but now they are more active than anyone else in running away.
