Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 Attacking Linzi ([-])
Just when a group of thieves rushed forward and raised their butcher knives at the panicked refugees, forcing them to either die or go back to fill the moat again.

The chaotic noise filled the sky, covering up a certain creaking sound.

That was the sound of the drawbridge starting to lower slowly.

"Drumming!"

Li Jiayuan shouted loudly.

There was a booming sound, and countless soldiers on the city wall knocked on their weapons spontaneously at the same time, shouting loudly.

Countless human voices gathered in one place, and were blown by the north wind and spread all over the Linzi City Wall.

The sound shook the roof tiles.

At the same time, the gate of Wengcheng opened wide.

"kill!"

All the five hundred cavalry shouted in unison, and led by Li Jiayuan's personal soldiers, they roared out against the gust of wind and rushed straight out of the city.

The sound of trampling hoofs was flying, and the dust that was raised filled the air and had not yet dissipated.

This group of cavalry has already swept across the suspension bridge swiftly, rushing towards the crowd outside the city like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

There are refugees and bandits.

At the last moment, they were brazenly raising their swords and forcing the people to die, but unexpectedly, death also fell on their heads in the blink of an eye.

"Oops!"

When Chen Jiao in the camp saw this scene, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh, his face paled instantly.

A group of bullying bandit infantry met the cavalry charge head-on.
Everyone seemed to have foreseen the next tragedy.

really.

Every time the cavalry raised their swords and guns, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Screams, roars, weapons colliding, horseshoes galloping, all kinds of sounds merged together to form a tragic movement.

At this time, they were cruising along the moat.
At the same time, they also recklessly penetrated the interior of several chaotic military alliances.

On the other side, Wang Zheng also raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

This is beyond his expectations.

Let Wang Zheng take another high look at the county guard Xu Xuan who had never met before.

How bold
Lessons learned from the past, dare to take the initiative to attack?
At the same time, he secretly called out a fluke.

The opponent played this card too early, which woke up Wang Zheng.

He thought that the other party would stick to it.

Now that he can directly see the intention of the other party, it is actually not a bad thing.

He didn't mind the moat being filled a little slower.

If he waited until later, when he, Xu He and other forces really attacked the city, they would definitely deploy siege equipment!

If the cavalry only showed up at a critical moment, when all the catapults, archery towers and other siege equipment were pushed out.
They took advantage of the sudden appearance of the horse and charged for a while, wreaking havoc
Wang Zheng is confident enough, but he is worried that those allied forces will not be able to keep their equipment.

That's the real loss.

On this day, countless corpses were left outside the city, and the smell of blood was strong, but the moat of Linzi hardly changed.

The first battle was unfavorable, and the morale of the rebel army plummeted immediately.

That night, Xu He urgently invited everyone to discuss.

There is no way, he who seems to be the most powerful now is also the most anxious.

The time has been delayed for a long time, and Cao Cao's army really came to help, and Xu He couldn't imagine the consequences.

"General Chen, General Huo, Master Yu Xianshi" Xu He first looked to the right and asked:

"How's the loss today?"

"Hey, don't mention it." Chen Jiao smiled wryly, and said with distressed expression:
"Our elites together also suffered nearly a thousand casualties."

"Where are the refugees?" Wang Zheng asked beside him.

"How can I care about their life and death?" Huo Kai spat and cursed, "My own battalion is full of wounded soldiers, and now howling makes me upset."

Don't you guys even count?

Wang Zheng couldn't help frowning and shook his head secretly.

Expelling the refugees is fine, but this group of people also came from mud-legged backgrounds. Once they ascended to high positions, they really ignored the refugees as if they were worthless.

At this moment, Xu He also had a solemn expression.

What he cared about was only the number of casualties of the opponent's headquarters, which also caused him some personal pain.

After all, it will be the turn of the Taiping Army tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Xu He felt a headache.

It's almost a dead loop.

He hoped that the moat would be filled as soon as possible, so he had to drive out the refugees to fill the river.

The city opened fire, and the refugees dispersed immediately.

If you don't send a team to supervise the battle, you will just sit back and watch the moat always exist, stopping the footsteps of your own army.

If you send damned officers and troops on horseback to harass them, you will lose your generals by losing your troops in vain.

Before the meeting, Xu He had already summoned his subordinates, but all of them were speechless, saying that there was nothing to do except hard work.

As for solving this group of cavalry, only cavalry can be dispatched.

Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, the other party has enough time and reaction to immediately withdraw to the Wengcheng and pull up the suspension bridge.

Gathering the strength of the two counties, plus Xu He's savings over the years, the Taiping Army can now gather about [-] cavalry.

But in order to fill the river and put down all the property?

Go to the top of the city to face the falling rocks on the city wall, bed crossbows, bows and arrows, but confront the official cavalry?
Thinking of such a loss, Xu He couldn't help covering his chest.

Time is precious, don't waste too long
But cavalry is also a luxury for him.

Sighing secretly, Xu He stroked his forehead for a long time, looked at Wang Zheng, and at the same time casually glanced at Yu Jin beside him, and asked:

"General Tiangong, you have a lot of talents under your command, do you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

"not at all."

Wang Zheng almost directly rejected the opponent's hope.

He did speak the truth.
Before coming here, Wang Zheng also discussed with Yu Jin, Zhao Hong, Pan Zhang and others.

In a sense, siege warfare is the simplest and most direct.

The two sides fight for land is consumption.

Those cavalrymen themselves were not in Wang Zheng's eyes at all, but to annihilate them all before they returned to the city, they had to dispatch second-tier elite light cavalry.

But Wang Zheng was not willing.

If he didn't feel sorry for the loss of his own house, why would he mix with these things?
The point is that Wang Zheng didn't have Xu He anxiously trying to race against time.

He wasn't too worried about Cao Cao's reinforcements, so he just slowed down.

"This"

Xu He carefully looked at Wang Zheng's expression for a few moments, seeing that the other party did not seem to be lying, he couldn't help but ponder again.

In several confrontations in a row, no matter what he said or his heart, he didn't take advantage of Wang Zheng. Even though he knew that the opponent was only talking about cavalry, he might actually be the strongest side in the current allied army.

But for a while, Xu He couldn't think of any good reason to let the other party sacrifice their own elite strength.

Is it necessary to use Sima Xiandi's card now?

Xu He was a little hesitant.

Sima Ju has already been lurking in Linzi city, and there is also a force. If the opponent is dispatched to start civil strife before the cavalry leave the city, close the city gate and close the suspension bridge, naturally the group of Linzi city cavalry can be wiped out.

It's just that Xu He vetoed this idea after careful consideration.

But other than that, what else can I do?

At this time, Wang Zheng suddenly spoke:

"The group of cavalry actually doesn't need to be resolved for the time being."

"Actually Xu Shuai is not worried about this group of cavalry, but because of the existence of this group of cavalry, the moat of Linzi will stop us for a longer time."

"This point, Wang has a way to solve it!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes focused on Wang Zheng at the same time.

Chen Jiao couldn't help but asked: "General Tiangong, what good strategy do you have, please tell me quickly."

"It's very simple." Wang Zheng smiled, and said, "We agreed to take turns to attack, but in fact, we should start after the moat is filled."

"If all the refugees are managed by me and arranged in a unified way, I guarantee that the moat will be filled within three days."

"This"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Zheng suspiciously.

If the other party said to give him the soldiers and horses directly, then naturally he would not even think about it.

But refugees, although everyone doesn't care, after all, the young and strong have been screened out by him, and the rest are nothing but old and weak women and children.

But after all, it is still a large population, and it is directly handed over to Wang Zheng
"After filling the river, would you like to return it?" Chen Jiao asked with a frown.

"Naturally, so many mouths have been reserved for me, and I can't control it."

Wang Zheng smiled and gave an affirmative reply.

"Three days? Xu He Fuxu asked in a deep voice: "General, don't joke. "

"Three days!" Wang Zheng replied firmly.

"it is good!"
