A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 242

On the fourth day of the fall of Wucheng, the trial of Zhuge Jin was finally implemented under the personal supervision of Zhuge Liang!

In the end, Zhuge Jin was sentenced to death, and on the day the verdict was made, Zhuge Jin was directly sent to the execution ground!
Leaving aside the details of Zhuge Jin's execution, in short, Zhuge Jin's death means that the matters on Wu Cheng's side have basically been dealt with!

As for Zhuge Liang's connection with Soochow, this also disappeared without a trace with Zhuge Jin's death!

The fall of Wucheng was an extremely unfavorable thing for Sun Quan of Soochow, although he had tried every means to minimize the impact of the fall of Wucheng.

But the news that Du Huo had invaded Soochow had already spread like wildfire.Therefore, even if Sun Quan tried his best to stop it, there was no way for him to completely block the news.

After all, he only has one pair of hands, and it would be unrealistic to use these hands to cover the eyes and ears of all the people.

Therefore, this time, Soochow was in chaos after all.And this chaos has reached the point where it is difficult to block and reverse!
On Du Huo's side, since Sun Quan did not encounter too much obstruction, his offensive pace has always been in a relatively stable state.

Even during the attack, Du Huo still had the idea of ​​speeding up the attack.

However, when the real reality was placed in front of Du Huo, he had no choice but to temporarily block the emergence of this idea.

Because the current plate of Soochow is too vast, and the distance between each of its cities is very far apart.

Therefore, even if Du Huo was eager for success, there was absolutely no way for him to spread the forces in his hands throughout the entire territory of Soochow within a short period of time.

And on this point, we can also see the difference between Soochow and Wei Jing.

When attacking the Wei state, the cities in the Wei state were almost all close to each other.

Even though there is a very long journey during this period, there are very few obstacles such as mountains and forests on this journey.

In most cases, there are relatively flat official roads between the cities in the Wei territory.And it was precisely because of the existence of these official ways that when Du Huo used his troops, he was able to shorten the time on the road greatly.

However, in Soochow, there is no such so-called official way, and not only is there no official way, even the plains rarely exist.

Basically, during Du Huo's march, what he saw the most were rocky mountains and rivers and forests.

And these mountain ranges and endless rivers are undoubtedly obstacles to the march of the army.

So in the process of marching, Du Huo's army suffered a lot.

However, even though they encountered many hardships along the way, this did not affect the overall combat effectiveness of Du Huo's army.

Moreover, since Zhou Yu had already made the combat deployment for Du Huo before, when all this really came into reality, Du Huo also made all preparations for these situations in advance.

After the affairs in Wu City were announced to be over, Du Huo's army set off again and continued to penetrate Wu's territory.

After several days of trekking, Du Huo and others finally reached the next checkpoint at the end of the mountain forest.

Compared with the previous battles that Du Huo had experienced, the battle in Wu Kingdom at this time can be said to be relatively new.

Because under normal circumstances, whether it is Xichuan, Jingzhou or Weijing.

Their garrison strategy is basically the way of one city and one village.And this means that whenever there is a key exit or pass, either a city is built here, or a camp stands horizontally in the center to block the pass.

Basically, this has become a relatively common inertia, and it is also a common design method.

However, in Soochow, most of their garrison methods are multiple villages and single cities!
Under normal circumstances, before each key city, they usually set up several camps in succession to block incoming enemies.

Moreover, the battalions set up outside the city were basically not used to garrison troops.

Judging from its shape and design concept, these camps are basically used to block the enemy, just like a city wall built artificially.

And if these battalions are unable to resist the incoming enemy, then the soldiers stationed here will withdraw into the city as quickly as possible, and then pass through the city wall for the final defense.

From the point of view of defense, Soochow's method can greatly consume the invading enemy.

However, we also have some risks in this way. For example, if we disperse and resist the incoming enemy, it may cause the hidden danger that the defensive lineup is not cohesive enough.

If the enemy directly attacked the main city from the rear at this time, it may cause a tragedy that will eventually be realized due to the weak defense of the main city.

It's just that, for this kind of dangerous speculation, it only exists in Du Huo's mind!

Because this is the game world after all, and since the setting here is like this, it means that from the perspective of the system, it is already in a state where there are no loopholes to exploit!
So even though Duhuo thought of this opportunistic method, he couldn't put it into actual siege battles!

After all, all kinds of things in this world cannot be considered according to normal thinking.Therefore, even if Du Huo thinks that this matter can be operated in this way, when he actually implements it, he will suddenly find that there is still a certain distance between imagination and reality after all.And in many cases, this distance is basically impossible to cross!

In addition, in order to verify whether his idea is realistic, Du Huo also specifically discussed this issue with Zhou Yu.

But after discussion, I learned that there is a big gap between Du Huo's vision and the reality.

In fact, long before Soochow made this defensive plan, they had already made a defensive plan for the main city in advance.

And that is to say, as long as the previous victory will not be breached, it will never be possible for enemy troops to enter around the main city.

Because when the war started, the two sides were in the hostile stage.The exits of the main city will be closed at once, and a certain number of soldiers will be dispatched behind the main city for defense.

If the rear of the main city really encounters a sneak attack, then the soldiers who are in front of the main city and resist the enemy will immediately abandon the battle and rush into the city at the fastest speed, and finally rely on the defense of the city wall to fight against the incoming enemy .

In this way, the defensive force of the city will be reduced to whole again.

And the strategy of capturing the main city mentioned by Du Huo before will also be broken because of the improvement of the main city's guarding force.

So, when Zhou Yu explained this matter to Du Huo from the beginning to the end.Du Huo gave up this method extremely decisively.

And since then, he has never paid attention to the strategy of capturing Soochow City.

Because he knew that when it came to capturing Soochow, he was a layman from beginning to end.

And since Zhou Yu under his command can settle all this for him, why bother racking his brains to think of some useless methods!
Therefore, since Du Huo gave up on the strategic design of attacking Soochow, Zhou Yu was immediately promoted by everyone to the throne of commander in chief of defeating Wu!

Even Zhuge Liang sometimes obeys Zhou Yu's orders.

Although looking at the overall situation, the current situation facing Du Huo's army is not very safe.

But judging from the current situation, the attacking route of Du Huo's army is extremely safe, and there is even a bit of a striding posture!
Currently, the nearest camp to Wucheng is the Poyang Castle guarded by Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao.

At this time, Du Huo's army had successfully arrived at Poyang Castle.

According to Zhou Yu's plan, the siege campaign will start in the early hours of the morning.

Then, Du Huo's army will spend half an hour breaking through the first camp stationed by Ding Feng.

Afterwards, Du Huo's army can carry out the final siege battle with the soldiers led by Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao.

Due to Du Huo's special order, when Zhou Yu formulated the overall battle plan, he directly passed the plan and content to each battalion.

Immediately afterwards, he used his current rights to assign specific tasks to each general.

It has to be said that Zhou Yu still has a strong ability in the deployment of generals.

At least, he is much better than Du Huo, who arranged plans randomly and dispatched generals.

Therefore, although Du Huo was the last one to know the plan, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Moreover, perhaps out of respect for Du Huo's order, as a result, when Zhou Yu issued the order, none of the generals jumped out to disobey Zhou Yu's order.

So, just after this series of content was successfully completed.

In the early morning of the next day, the flames of war outside Poyang Castle, I was also extremely punctual, and it was ignited.

The first defensive camp was garrisoned by General Wu Ding Feng, with more than [-] troops under his command, and his overall combat capability was basically unable to compete with Du Huo's army.

Originally, the original plan was half an hour, but when the war really started, the first camp only lasted for more than ten minutes, and Zhang Bao led his troops to successfully break through!
Moreover, Wu general Ding Fengze was also shot to death by random arrows from Zhang Bao's archers during his escape.

As a result, when the more than [-] soldiers originally stationed in the camp finally fled back to Poyang Castle, there were only a few hundred left.

After successfully breaking through the first camp, Du Huo's army pursued the victory, and then launched a general attack on Poyang Castle.

And when Du Huo's army was approaching, the veteran Cheng Pu, who had no choice but to put on his armor, had no choice but to put on his armor and fight to the death with Du Huo's army.
