Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 211 Setting Fire at the City Gate
During the battle during the daytime, the damage to both sides was equal, so Wang Zheng's siege side had the upper hand.

But their original goal was to defeat them with one blow. Once the outer city was taken down, they should drive straight in and take Pengcheng immediately.

Judging from the strategic setback, it was Pengcheng's army that defeated the son-in-law of the Tian army again.

In this way, it was you who suffered, and I didn't please, so let's say it was a tie, forming a stalemate.

The tactic of attacking the heart not only didn't come in handy, but also caused a wave of ridicule from the Pengcheng defenders. Wang Zheng was annoyed, but he had no choice but to withdraw the troops first and then make plans.

Inside the big tent.

Wang Zheng first warmly praised Zhang Rao and Chen Jiao who were attacking the city today, originally ordering them to lead the local army back to the camp to rest first, but Zhang Rao was unexpected again, not only begged for a fight, but even continued to fight at night, with an unbreakable face The appearance of the city vowing not to give up.

Seeing the fighting spirit on his face, Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, and was about to say no, but then he thought about it, thinking that since he joined the army, this is the first time that this yellow scarf commander has been working so desperately?

If refused
It can't help but hurt his loyalty, and his blood turns cold.

After thinking for a while, even though he was not optimistic about his head-on idea, Wang Zhengqie still nodded in agreement, ordering him to make preparations first.

Watching Zhang Rao's figure go away, Wang Zheng looked around at the crowd, smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it is unexpected that an inner city is so stable."

"Pengcheng, Xuzhou, has a reputation as a great pass in the world, and it really has a well-deserved reputation."

Hearing his own coach's emotion, Wu Sheng was the first to refuse to accept it, and was about to shout that he would be able to break through the attack, but when Xu Fang saw his butt pouted, he knew that he was going to mess up again, so he hurriedly said: "Xiongguan It's good, but it depends on who comes to town."

"General, from the point of view of the final general, this Lieutenant of Pengcheng County is also a capable man." Xu Fang reminded: "He has a good command, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and his strategy is no less than that of the former Lieutenant surnamed Li in Linzi."

"Indeed." Thinking that just as he was about to attack his heart, the other side would decisively murder and establish his prestige, Wang Zheng also gritted his teeth with hatred:

"The more capable this person is, the greater the danger!"

You must know that in the chaotic times of the Eastern Han Dynasty, now that the princes are divided, the real brave generals and powerful troops basically gather around them, occupy the capital, and become the central army, with more offense than defense.

In contrast, the defenders in general counties and counties are far inferior, and it is difficult to see talents.

This is also the reason why most of the battles were won with ease since the Wangzheng Rebellion.

Li Jiayuan was originally a lieutenant of the Yanzhou Army, but he participated in the battle of Linzi only by chance.

In contrast, the performance of the Pengcheng defender was indeed beyond his expectations.

"The enemy general is capable." Xu Fang sighed while thinking, "Unless our army spares no casualties, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take them quickly."

Although General Tiangong didn't say it clearly, he hesitated a few times today, and even rejected Wu Sheng's invitation to fight, not sending the Tianjun and Tianzhu battalion into battle. The thoughtful Xu Fang had vaguely guessed his concerns.

He mentioned the important point, and there was more meaning behind the words, but Wang Zheng immediately understood it.

This is also where his anxiety lies.

If it cannot be obtained quickly, the counties around Pengcheng may react, and even Donghai may receive the news!
Once the reinforcements from all sides rush to help, within a state, they can arrive in a few days, and then their own family may fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked on both sides and being attacked from the front and back.

At that time, even if you didn't talk about victory or defeat, now you are not willing to worry about casualties and hesitate, but it has become an extremely stupid and indecisive behavior.

However, if the Heavenly Army is used now, the loss is too much, how to deal with other enemies?

With all kinds of distracting thoughts, he slowly paced in the tent and fell into the long exam.

When it comes to time, in fact, it was precisely because of Mi Heng's opinion that following the overlord's strategy, he made a big circle to attack Pengcheng, and it took more than ten days.

But from a strategic perspective, this choice is absolutely correct.

The cost is also worthwhile, the so-called sharpening the knife does not mistake the woodcutter.

If it weren't for bypassing the counties in front of Pengcheng, advancing from Yuzhou, and taking the night to raid the outer city
Moreover, the inner city is so difficult to deal with, Wang Zheng dare not imagine, if he really follows his original plan, attacking the city all the way from Kaiyang, and gradually encroaching on Pengcheng, the situation may be very good in the early stage, but once it is under the capital city, I am afraid the price to pay.
Perhaps it was heavier than when Linzi was attacked.

As for giving up the East China Sea and taking Pengcheng first, he had thought about it since Qingzhou.

Among the counties and counties in Xuzhou, Pengcheng is the only one that really bases its development on a stable basis suitable for a rebel like him!
Kaiyang in Langya County is the same as Linzi, with a flat terrain surrounded by enemies on three sides. It can be said that its foundation is flimsy and unfavorable for development. It is even worse than Linzi, which at least has a natural moat.

But Pengcheng is quite different.

Surrounded by mountains, facing the river on one side, the land is even more fertile, with a thoroughfare from north to south.

You might as well think about it in another way. It is a good thing that it is so tricky for an unknown soldier to lead a group of city defense soldiers.

Once this kind of grand pass is owned by him, and then guarded by such famous generals with the strength of the system soldiers, then he will truly have no worries!

At that time, I can confidently and boldly attack everywhere, attack cities and villages, cannibalize surrounding counties and counties, and gain the entire Xuzhou and even...
Great Wanli Rivers and Mountains!
It will be a brand new world with great potential!
As for the difficulties encountered right now, no one can be blamed.

Mi Heng has helped him solve the difficulty in the outer city, and he is not Zhuge Liang!

Even Zhuge Liang, there are also the mistakes of Jieting and Ma Di, no matter how strong a counselor is, he can't think of everything, there are always a hundred secrets, how can he be thoughtful and considerate of other people's affairs, and do it for you proper?
If so, why should people worship you as their lord?Go to fight for the dragon by yourself.

Good strategies are admirable and acceptable, but at critical moments, Wang Zheng never trusts others.

People must rely on themselves!
Thinking this way in his heart, he inadvertently glanced at the frame of the system instinctively. Wang Zheng blushed and hurriedly added.

It also depends on the system!
In the eyes of everyone, it was his own coach who was in a daze for a while before continuing:
"Today's battle is indeed one of the few battles in which our army has not taken advantage of it, but there are still gains."

"Do you still remember what Mr. You said about Pengcheng before?" Looking towards Xu Fang, Wang Zheng asked.

"Mr. You once estimated." Xu Fang replied without thinking: "Now there should be [-] defenders in Pengcheng."

"Everyone." Wang Zheng sneered disdainfully, stretched out his palms, and said: "Soldiers are not many, but they need to defend the four walls."

"If you fight day and night, so that you can't rest, how many days can you survive in this way?"

What he said was reasonable, and the generals deeply believed it, and their morale soared, but Xu Fang frowned, shook his head and said, "General, even one more day will be troublesome."

He didn't rest for a day and a night. At this time, Xu Fang's eyes were full of red silk. He continued to advise: "It is not appropriate to hold on to force, or else"

"Try fire attack?"

This is a common way to attack a city in the history of military literature.

Tianjun and others rarely used it to attack the city many times before, purely because the combat power was too strong, and there was no resistance under the charge, so there was no need for that.

"Fire attack?"

This word moved Wang Zheng's heart, but he didn't answer immediately.

He still hesitated.

After all, Pengcheng has long been regarded as his possession. If the damage is too great, wouldn't he be required to repair it later?

While hesitating, he looked up and looked outside the tent.

At this time, night completely enveloped the earth.

The Shangjun flag at the opposite gate was fluttering in the wind, and countless torches flickered, flickering, but they still managed to shine brightly in all directions.

In the orange flames, Wang Zheng suddenly burst out laughing.

I am a modern person, and I have thousands of years of history lessons than them
Why don't you know that ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand?

With the system in hand, why am I still so petty?

He laughed at himself and muttered silently, then raised his sword eyebrows and uttered a sonorous voice:

"Then ask Tianhuo to help me."

Once there is a decision, there is no hesitation.

After discussing with everyone for a while and sorting out the details, Wang Zheng ordered people to recall Zhang Rao who was preparing for the night battle to his account.

The performance of the former commander-in-chief today made Wang Zheng quite recognized, and he thought that this battle was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"Everyone will obey orders."

He looked around at everyone and gave instructions again and again.

"Zhang Rao, Xu Fang, you two launched a feint after half an hour, drawing the enemy's defense force and attention."

"Wu Sheng, you take all the cavalry of the Tianzhu camp, assemble and rectify, store up your horsepower, line up in front of the camp, and be ready to charge at all times!"

"I personally lead the infantry team. Once Zhang Rao and Xu Fang attack together, they will protrude out of the camp, and shoot all the fires!"

This is actually the most critical link. If it weren't for the fact that they have Tier [-] long-range units, Wang Zheng and Xu Fang wouldn't even mention this plan.

Because with the shooting skills and eyesight of ordinary archers, in the twilight, it is impossible to see clearly, let alone shoot accurately.

Finally, Wang Zheng looked at Chen Jiao: "Chen Jiao, you are responsible for setting the city gate on fire!"

The charge is not strong enough, if there is another mistake in setting fire
The boy's eyes were cold and restrained.
