Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 164 Yuzhang City, Easy to Defend but Difficult to Attack
People like Pang Yan and Zu Lang knew the reason why Zhu Wei did this, so naturally they would not have any thoughts about Zhu Wei's actions.

They would just patiently wait for Zhu Wei to issue the military order to send troops in time after seeing the situation ahead. Zhu Wei's method would only be a powerful fairy art in their eyes.

Otherwise, wait for Pang Yan to take down the city gate in front, and then send someone to send the news, and the time of coming and going will be delayed, and we don't know what will happen.

Of course, Teng Huxiong, the leader of the Zhongling Mountains who glared at Teng Yuyan with his eyes, didn't know why Zhu Wei did this, but he could see Zhu Wei's method of creating soldiers out of thin air, plus Zu Lang and the others. The attitude of his subordinates, but he can also understand that Zhu Wei's actions must have a deep meaning. In his heart, he completely regards Zhu Wei's actions as Zhu Wei's casting some magic.

Not to mention Zhu Wei's side slowly following behind, waiting for Pang Yan to seize the gate of Yuzhang City and forcibly raid Yuzhang City, only to say that Yuzhang City is indeed a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack in Yuzhang County. Ayutthaya.

The Yuzhang City is adjacent to the Yuzhang River to the west, so the Yuzhang River is used around the city to form a moat with fast-flowing water, which strengthens the city's defense.

Although Yuzhang City has seven gates, one of which is a water gate on the west, two gates on the east, one gate on the north, and three gates on the south, it seems that it gave the attacking party a lot. Convenient, you can choose multiple city gates to attack, as long as you break a city gate, you can let the attacking army flood into the city.

However, there are so many gates in Yuzhang City, which also shows that Yuzhang City itself covers a large area, and it shows that Yuzhang City can accommodate a large number of people and defenders.

In this way, if there are enough soldiers and horses in the city, coupled with the cooperation of young and strong people living in the city, it will indeed be very difficult to storm Yuzhang City.

In addition, each city gate of Yuzhang City has also built an urn city. Even if the outer city gate is breached, it will only enter an empty and unsheltered urn city square.

In this way, it is not easy for the attacker to form a formation on the open Wengcheng Square to attack the inner city gate of Wengcheng while the defenders are condescending in all directions.

In this way, it is better to climb directly on the city wall and climb into Yuzhang City from the city wall. Perhaps it is easier than storming the outer city gate and the inner city gate of Wengcheng.

However, Yuzhang City, as a rich and prosperous city where rivers and lakes meet, was an important city in the east of Chu State adjacent to Wu and Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, the city walls were also very tall and thick. Attacking the city wall with the attached method, I am afraid that many people will die.

Therefore, if you want to capture Yuzhang City, you will face many difficulties.

First of all, it is not so easy for the siege party to get close to the city wall of Yuzhang. The Yuzhang River is so fast that it will take more time to fill up the moat to open a road close to the city wall than to fill up an ordinary moat. .

Because the earth and rocks poured into the moat of Yuzhang City are easily washed away by the river water, the time spent will give the defenders on the city more opportunities to shoot and kill the attacking soldiers.

Secondly, the houses and buildings in Yuzhang City are mainly concentrated in the direction of the west city, and there are several large lakes in the east area of ​​Yuzhang City, which can be regarded as sufficient water sources, enough to meet the drinking water needs of the soldiers and civilians in Yuzhang City.

And a lot of fields have been reclaimed around the Great Lake, so in Yuzhang City, it is actually possible to farm and harvest food. Even if they want to use the method of siege, it is difficult for the defenders in Yuzhang City to run out of food and grass.

Therefore, if you want to attack Yuzhang City, you can only use a strong attack.

But storming Yuzhang City does require human lives. When Zhu Hao led troops to attack Yuzhang before, Zhuge Xuan didn't have enough troops to defend the city, so Zhu Hao was able to forcefully break through a city wall and kill him by attacking east and west. Entered Yuzhang city.

However, because Zhu Hao lost too many soldiers during the siege, after entering Yuzhang City, there was a problem of insufficient troops and weak follow-up, so he could only face off in Yuzhang City and Zhugexuan's two separate urban areas.

That's how Liu Yao sent Ruo Rong to support and help, but he didn't want to drive away Zhuge Xuan, but attracted Ruo Rong, a wolf, who swallowed Zhu Hao and occupied Yuzhang City. up.

Before, Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan had considered the difficulty of storming Yuzhang City. Even if Zhu Wei led his troops across from Zhongling Mountain to the southwest of the defenseless Yuzhang City, they might not be able to capture Yuzhang City, which was guarded by Ruo Rong's army.

So when Wang Yuyan was planning, she thought of the strategy of sending troops to attack Yuzhang City after the main force of Ruo Rong was transferred out of Yuzhang City.

With such a reduction in the defensive forces of Yuzhang City, Zhu Wei could take advantage of the lack of troops in the city and lead his troops to attack Yuzhang City. Perhaps he could also attack Yuzhang City by breaking through a gate or wall. .

Zhu Wei originally planned to attack by force, so he asked Teng Huxiong for help from more than 3000 Zhongling mountain people in Zhongling Mountain. After all, when attacking the city, the more troops the better.

But now that Zhu Wei found that Yuzhang City was completely unprepared, and had a better chance to cheat, he naturally chose this cheating tactic that can reduce the consumption of soldiers by storming.

This is really a battle opportunity bestowed by God on Zhu Wei. The defenders of Yuzhang City in Ruo Rong's backyard are indeed a bit careless.

In the live broadcast Zhu Wei watched through the game map of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Yan led more than a thousand people pretending to be the Dharma defenders who sent supplies to Yuzhang City, and gradually approached a city gate called Songyang Gate in the south of Yuzhang City forward.

This Songyang Gate can also be regarded as the largest city gate in the south of Yuzhang City, and it can also be regarded as a main city gate in the south of Yuzhang City.

Not far from the city gate grows a big camphor tree, five feet five feet high, 25 girth in size, sparse branches and leaves, and several acres of shade. It is said that this big camphor tree is the origin of the name Yuzhang, and it has been around for nearly a thousand years. age of the tree.

This big camphor tree was also regarded as a sacred tree in Yuzhang City. In the past, the people of Yuzhang often worshiped it.

However, after Ruo Rong took control of Yuzhang, this kind of worship of the big camphor tree was banned, but the big camphor tree was finally preserved, and with the help of the shade formed by the canopy, it became the material that Ruo Rong Buddhist soldiers piled into the city. It is a natural living room sheltered from wind and rain.

Now is the time of war, so Ruo Rong asked all the counties and townships under his control to transport all kinds of grain and grass materials to Yuzhang City, and then transfer them to the front battlefield along the Yuzhang River through the waterway west of Yuzhang City.

Perhaps there were too many people coming to Yuzhang City to deliver things recently, so the Dharma guards guarding the gate of Yuzhang City didn't have any doubts at all when they saw Pang Yan and the others with disheveled hair and bound with hoops.

When Pang Yan brought people closer, the suspension bridge built on the moat, the outer city gate of Songyangmen and the inner urn city did not change at all.

When Pang Yan, who pretended to be nearly a thousand people, pushed dozens of trolleys filled with high-pile grain and other supplies, crossed the suspension bridge on the moat, and approached the outer city gate, the guards guarding the city gate here The militia still has no doubts...
