Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 455
If Zhou Yu was still in Moling County at this time, perhaps Zhou Yu would still dare to fight.

Surge the soldiers in the city to have a decisive battle with Zhu Wei's army, at least destroy the siege equipment, then you can dispel the oppressiveness of Zhu Wei's army attacking the city, and re-display the counterforce of the archers on the city wall.

It's a pity that Han Dang doesn't dare to do it now. If he fights out of the city with these troops, he will die in vain.

Of course, even if Zhou Yu was really still in Moling County, Wang Yuyan was sure to be able to stop Zhou Yu's new recruits by placing the five thousand saber shields in front of Moling County.

What Wang Yuyan was worried about was only the cost of attacking and climbing the city, but she was not afraid of fighting with Zhou Yu's new army recruits outside the city.

If Zhou Yu were still in Moling County, even if Zhou Yu sent out tens of thousands of poorly trained recruits to force their way into the Bagua Tortoise Formation composed of five thousand sword and shield wielders, his death would be in vain.

It can be said that this time Wang Yuyan decided to attack the city, but she also prepared a perfect plan, and she was not afraid of a decisive battle between Zhen and Zhou Yu outside the Moling County.

Although Wang Yuyan had previously set a tactical policy of consuming food, it does not mean that he really does not dare to fight tough battles. He can also fight when it is time to fight. Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. This is the purpose of the art of war. It is originally Adaptable.

But the reality is that just as Wang Yuyan guessed, Zhou Yu was not in Moling County, so Han Dang did not dare to go out for rescue. The remaining defenders who were killed and fled outside the city were quickly led by Chen Heng and Yu Heng. Under the encirclement and suppression of soldiers, they gradually began to surrender. After a while, most of them had abandoned their weapons and were escorted aside.

This kind of scene also made the defenders above Moling County feel sorry for each other, and their morale was unavoidably low.

No one would be reconciled to seeing their comrades being surrounded and captured by the enemy, but now they are not reconciled but they have nothing to do. The result is hesitation, worry, and fear that they will eventually Like these comrades outside the city, they will also be surrounded and captured by Zhu Wei's army.

How can we fight such a battle!

Han Dang also noticed the fluctuation in morale on the city gate tower, and hurriedly ordered that as long as everyone stayed on guard for one more day, he would lead them to evacuate safely tomorrow, and he would also reward them heavily by then.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Han Dang was finally able to grasp the minds of these soldiers, so under his order, the defenders in Moling County seemed to have regained some morale.

It is already two or three o'clock in the afternoon. As long as they can defend the city until dark, and as long as Zhu Wei's army is not crazy enough to attack overnight, then it may not be a problem to defend until tomorrow. Thinking of the rewards they may get, these defenders are naturally heartbroken I felt a little more secure.

After all, they were still protected by the tall city walls of Moling County. Even if the siege arrow chariots of the Zhu Wei army outside the city gave them some threats, they could still withstand the feather arrows under the protection of shields.

However, all this is just wishful thinking of the defenders of Moling County.

At this moment, Wang Yuyan had seen through the reality in Moling County, and naturally she would not be delayed by the troops left by Zhou Yu. Therefore, as she issued the military order, she had just defeated the defenders of the two military strongholds outside the city, and Chen, whose morale was high, The soldiers commanded by Heng and Yu Zhen temporarily retreated to the side to rest and wait for the battle.

And more than a dozen cave carts pushed towards the moat in front of Moling County, and began to fill the moat to prepare for the subsequent siege. Obviously Wang Yuyan had decided to take advantage of the empty battle to take down Moling County, and would never waste any more time.

Of course, if Zhou Yu has really retreated from Moling County, maybe Taishi Ci, whom Wang Yuyan sent before, will also be able to gain something.

When Wang Yuyan sent troops from Niuzhu camp, she already had a rough strategic plan.

Therefore, when she dispatched Tai Shici from the waterway to between Moling and Danyang, she gave Taishi Ci a military order to wait for an opportunity to attack the east gate of Moling County, or to ambush between Moling and Danyang to ambush Sun Ce who was retreating from Moling County. army.

Of course, this specific timing needs to be grasped by Tai Shici himself. Wang Yuyan also gave Tai Shici face-to-face advice on some opportunities that Tai Shici can consider. Pay attention to the situation in Danyang, and send news of the arrival of reinforcements to Danyang.

Apparently, Wang Yuyan had already considered the possibility that Zhou Yu would withdraw from Moling County due to lack of food, but she didn't expect Zhou Yu to retreat so quickly.

Now Wang Yuyan just doesn't know what Tai Shici can do. Although Tai Shici has Wang Yuyan's military order on Taishici's side, how Taishici will execute the military order still depends on Taishici's own military quality and ability.

Therefore, Wang Yuyan can't stay in Moling County for too long now, as long as she breaks through Moling County, no matter whether Tai Shici stops Zhou Yu's retreat or not, she can face the situation after Zhou Yu's retreat in time.

Wang Yuyan has already seen through the reality of Moling County. Zhou Yu will definitely not leave too many troops. With the strength of her troops and the combat effectiveness of Zhou Yu's troops left behind, Wang Yuyan is naturally not worried that there may be too many casualties in the attack on Moling County. consumed.

In this way, as the cave car quickly filled a section of the moat outside Moling County, it began to withdraw to the rear.

Under the command of Wang Yuyan, Chen Heng and Yu Min, who had rested for nearly half an hour, quickly led their soldiers and rushed towards the Moling County town carrying the siege ladder.

With the cover of the archers on the siege arrow cart, the intensity of the defense they would encounter during the siege would also be greatly weakened.

The defenders on the city wall must be protected with shields before they can use bows and arrows, falling rocks, rolling logs, and other means of defending the city. However, there will definitely be many flaws that cannot be defended during the panic, so these defenders are not captured by the city The archers on the outer siege arrow chariot were killed and wounded.

Once there are casualties on the defenders on the city wall, the effect on defending the city will definitely be discounted, and it will be easier for the attacking Zhu Weijun soldiers to rush to the city wall.

However, the siege was indeed brutal.

Although covered by the archers on the siege carts, the [-] to [-] siege soldiers commanded by Chen Heng and Yu Pan soon lost more than a thousand casualties while climbing the city wall. Attacking the two defenders outside the city has never suffered damage.

But under Wang Yuyan's forced order, Chen Heng and Yu Fan didn't dare to slack off, they just kept urging their soldiers to climb the city and attack the city.

"Go! Kill!"

"what…"

"Hey la la..."

"Boom... clatter..."

All kinds of killing sounds, screams, and the sound of the ladder frame being blown up were intermingled incessantly during the siege battle, making the sun in the sky slowly fall towards the west side as if a little unbearable.

Seeing that the time was leaning towards evening and the siege efficiency in front was not high, Wang Yuyan sent people to prepare to use Zhu Weijun's secret weapon firecracker grenade...
