Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 248 Reinforcement
"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Lu Bu's worry still happened.

As the sun sets, the Jizhou Army outside the city still launches an attack tenaciously, showing no signs of stopping.

However, the Jizhou army has a large number of soldiers and horses. Although they are attacking overnight, they can be divided into several squads and attack in turn, so that the soldiers can always maintain the most vigorous physical strength.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Bu hurriedly replaced half of the men, and rested nearby, preparing for the attack at night.

There are a total of 26000 soldiers and horses in the city, and 5000 soldiers and horses are in the military camp as the final reserve.

The remaining 21000 soldiers and horses were divided into two teams, each with about [-] people.

I don’t know that there are the largest number of soldiers and horses at the North City Gate. Including the soldiers guarding the city gate, the number has reached about 4000.

The remaining 6000 soldiers and horses were divided into three groups and evenly distributed on the other three city walls to prevent surprise attacks by the enemy.

At this time, although the other three city gates were not attacked by enemy troops, their strength must not be reduced, because no one knew whether the Jizhou Army would adopt the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

The 4000 troops at the North City Gate seem like a lot, but facing the [-] Jizhou Army outside the city, the pressure is quite high. Under the fierce enemy attack, people fall on the city wall every moment.

The Jizhou Army soldiers outside the city suffered even more heavy casualties, reaching about four times that of the soldiers defending the city.

But despite this, the soldiers of the Jizhou Army still refused to relax and stubbornly launched the most violent attack.

……

Although the siege battle was still going on, Yan Liang and other generals had already returned to the camp, leaving only the necessary generals to command the battle.

In the tent of the Chinese army.

Yan Liang sat in the middle, frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "How about the casualties of our army now?"

Jiang Yiqu hurriedly stepped forward and handed over, "General Yan Liang, after a day of strong attack, our army lost more than 600 people."

Yan Liang nodded, "Send the order to continue to strengthen the attack."

Jiang Yiqu cupped his hands, "General Yan Liang, aren't the casualties a bit too high, so the gain outweighs the loss?"

Yan Liang smiled coldly, "General Jiang, don't worry, there are fewer soldiers and horses in the city than us, as long as we launch a strong attack, Dongjun will fall into our hands in a short time."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and a soldier ran in, "General Yan Liang, my lord sent someone to deliver news."

While speaking, the soldier took out a letter and presented it with both hands.

Yan Liang took the letter and quickly opened it to check it. After reading it, he looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Haha, that's great."

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly asked, "General Yan Liang, what's the news from my lord?"

Yan Liang put the letter on the table and said with a big smile, "Everyone, my lord knows that Qingzhou has suffered setbacks, and he is worried that something will happen here, so he sent another [-] soldiers to help."

When everyone heard these words, they were immediately overjoyed, "Haha, that's great. I'm afraid Lu Bu will definitely be defeated this time."

Jiang Yiqu suddenly said tentatively, "General Yan Liang, since the reinforcements are coming soon, why don't we use the method of siege to enclose Dongjun, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will launch an attack at the same time, and Dongjun will be destroyed at that time."

Everyone nodded after hearing the words, "General Jiang is right, it is better to suspend the attack and wait until the reinforcements arrive before launching a strong attack."

The judge who was standing aside suddenly said, "No, the attack must not be stopped."

Jiang Yiqu was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Zhengnan, our reinforcements will arrive soon. We should preserve our forces and then join forces to attack. Why should we strengthen the attack instead?"

The examiner smiled and said slowly, "General Jiang, our army is attacking day and night, even if we can't break through the city, it will definitely increase the pressure on the defenders in the city.

If this state lasts for a long time, the morale of the military will inevitably be confused and they can barely hold on. "

Speaking of this, the examiner paused for a moment, and suddenly sneered, "Everyone, when the defenders in the city were struggling to hold on, they suddenly heard that our army had come to reinforce them. What do you think will happen?"

Jiang Yiqu laughed loudly, "Mr. Zhengnan, of course the defenders in the city are terribly frightened, and they might surrender immediately, haha."

The judge nodded, "General Jiang, you are right, the defenders in the city are now like a bow. As we continue to strengthen our attacks, the bowstring will be pulled tighter and tighter. When it reaches its maximum , suddenly add a force, the bowstring will definitely be broken.

The same is true for Lu Bu's army. When they are barely holding on, when they hear reinforcements coming from our army, they will be snapped like a bowstring. It will be reduced a lot, so instead of stopping the attack now, we have to strengthen the attack and make the bowstring tighter and tighter to achieve the best effect. "

When everyone heard these words, they couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Zhengnan is right, it's true, as long as Lu Bujun starts to get nervous, that's when the city will be broken."

Yan Liang laughed and nodded when he heard the judge's analysis, "Mr. Zhengnan is really resourceful. This time, it is really unfortunate for Lu Bu to meet Mr. Zhengnan, haha!"

After hearing everyone's words, the judge touched the beard on his chin with satisfaction and nodded with a smile, "I'm just making a suggestion. As for commanding the battle, you still need Yan Liang."

Yan Liang nodded, "If that's the case, let's pass on the order. The army will be divided into three groups and take turns to fight. Whoever dares to neglect will be punished."

……

On the city wall, Lu Bu looked at the soldiers of the Jizhou Army who were constantly attacking, frowned, turned his head to look at Chen Gong beside him, and asked slowly.

"Gongtai, in your opinion, why did the Jizhou Army launch an attack all night without stopping?"

Hearing the question, Chen Gong smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know, but the only thing that is certain is that the Jizhou army's attack regardless of casualties must be intentional and definitely not for no reason."

Lu Bu looked at the soldiers of the Jizhou Army who were constantly charging, and said with a frown, "Gongtai, do they want to use this method to force them into the city?"

Chen Gong turned his head to look at the attack outside, and sighed, "The Jizhou army attacked so violently, we cannot deny the possibility."

Having said this, Chen Gong paused, and said slowly, "The Jizhou army has 4000 soldiers and horses, which can launch continuous attacks, but in order to block their non-stop attacks day and night, we can only divide the soldiers and horses into two groups. To deal with the Jizhou Army's attack, there were only [-] soldiers and horses left on the city wall.

The Jizhou army attacked one place. The most important thing is that they can put all their troops into it at any time, but we can't, because the other three walls have to be defended.

Therefore, on the whole, although our army has a city wall for defense, there are not many troops that can be invested. "
