Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 600 Another Day Passes

The archers arranged by Zhu Wei on the siege tower, due to their numbers, could not exert much lethality when suppressing Yuan Shu's defenders on the city wall. Even if they could shoot hundreds of Yuan Shu soldiers to death, they would still It is impossible to really kill all the defenders.

In fact, their suppression of Yuan Shu's defenders on the city wall can only kill or injure more than a hundred people at most. After all, Yuan Shu's defenders can also use large shields and small shields to block arrows. At most, they let Yuan Shu's defenders You need to devote some attention to dodging the arrows, and you can't just focus on defending the city.

But if there were oil tanks for storing kerosene on Shouchun City, then their role would be different.

This time, Yuan Shu's defenders on the wall of the urn in Shouchun City did not have the awareness to protect the fuel tanks at first, so they let the archers on the siege arrow tower ignite several fuel tanks stored on the city wall.

As these fire oil tanks exploded, it was inevitable that the top of the urn wall was covered with flames and thick smoke. Many Yuan Shu defenders in the surrounding area were ignited by the flames and had to roll on the ground to put out the fire. .

As a result, under the threat of Zhu Wei's archers on the siege tower, the earthen jars for storing kerosene did not dare to be easily exposed on the city wall.

The storage points of many fire oil tanks were carefully protected by a large number of Yuan Shu defenders with shields, but the more this was the case, the more the archers on Zhu Wei's side would try their best to attack the fire oil with rockets Can.

This naturally made Yuan Shu's defenders on the city wall troubled. To protect these fire oil tanks, many people were required to guard the fire oil tanks with shields, but if they were accidentally found by Zhu Wei's archers, When the opportunity came, the fire oil tank was ignited, and these Yuan Shu defenders who were protecting the fire oil tank had no chance to escape even if they wanted to.

It can be said that once the fire broke out, Yuan Shu's defenders protecting the surrounding area would instantly turn into burning men. With the sticky grease inside, it was almost impossible to extinguish the flame.

So now, even if Zhang Xun orders Duoduo to prepare kerosene, he doesn't dare to transport it to the city wall easily. This will easily provide the archers on Zhu Wei's side with a terrifying source of self-inflicted fire.

It can be imagined that when the war broke out, if Yuan Shu's soldiers guarding the city wanted to use the fire oil tank, they would always face the threat of Zhu Wei's archers. Molotov cocktails.

Based on Zhang Xun's military judgment, it seems that the best way to deal with Zhu Wei's seemingly supporting siege tactics is to send troops out to charge and forcibly destroy the wooden houses under the city wall and the siege towers. means.

Otherwise, let Zhu Wei's siege tactics continue, even if Shouchun City has the best wall defense, it will become a decoration.

Just sending troops to fight, Zhang Xun really has no right to make a decision, he must get Yuan Shu's consent, so Zhang Xun can only ask Yuan Shu to fight, but at the same time, Zhang Xun also has other worries in his heart. Even if they send people out of the city, can they defeat Zhu Wei's army?

Zhang Xun also knew the combat effectiveness of these Yuan Shu soldiers under him. If he didn't have the advantage of defending the city, would it really be possible to win if he went out of the city to fight Zhu Wei's army?
It's just that Zhang Xun didn't know. Although he had seen the countermeasures against Zhu Wei's siege tactics, he needed to seize the right time. It can be said that he might still have a chance to send troops out of the city to destroy Zhu Wei. Siege fortifications being constructed in front of the city walls.

After all, there are only some auxiliary soldiers like engineers filling the moat and building siege fortifications with fire and arrow functions. When Yuan Shu's army comes, they have little power to resist.

And although Zhu Wei also sent troops to block the Urn City where Shouchun City sent troops, after all, there were not many troops. If Zhang Xun sent troops suddenly, he still had a chance to forcibly destroy the anti-arrow fortifications.

But if these wooden house-like anti-arrow fortifications are completely built, Zhu Wei will directly send a large number of troops to these anti-arrow fortifications. At this time, even if Zhang Xun sends troops to attack again, he may not be able to destroy these fortifications. .

Of course, then again, if Zhang Xun really sends troops to fight out now, the battle situation here may also fall into chaos, and maybe Zhu Wei's army can also take the opportunity to attack the Wengcheng outside the south gate of Shouchun.

It's hard to say what the final battle will be like, maybe it's just a matter of delaying Zhu Wei's siege.

In any case, Zhang Xun failed to seize this opportunity, so time passed bit by bit in this situation.

At this time, at the north gate, east gate, and west gate of Shouchun City, the soldiers of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei were desperately attacking the feather arrows of Yuan Shu's defenders on the city wall, and gradually filling up the moat. It is also very lively.

Compared with Zhu Wei's attack on the south gate of Shouchun City, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei's shouts of killing outside Shouchun City were deafening.

Although they may not be able to make much progress in the siege, especially Liu Bei and Lu Bu are more bluffing, but the momentum is really loud, the drums are rumbling, and the killing sounds are bursting, which really makes people watch from the sidelines Flesh boils.

Of course, they actually used a method similar to that of a cave car to fill up the moat, but they didn't have a complete set of procedures for filling up the moat on Zhu Wei's side.

Therefore, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei only sent young and strong peasants recruited and coerced to rush to the moat with the help of cave carts and arrows on the city wall, and then threw bags of mud into the river. Sand and stone blocks filled the moat without skill.

However, under the erosion of the river water of the moat, many sand and stones thrown into the moat, even if they were wrapped in straw bags, would soon be washed away by the river water, and some straw bags would soon fall apart after being soaked in water. The sediment has become the silt at the bottom of the river.

Therefore, although it has been two days since Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei attacked Shouchun City, they just barely raised the bottom of the moat, trying to cut off the river and create a road that can pass through the moat. I'm afraid it will still take some time.

It is also no wonder that it took Cao Cao more than a month to attack Shouchun City in the original history. Facing a city of Shouchun City's level, it is indeed not so easy to attack according to formal means.

What's more, among Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, that is, Cao Cao used all his strength to attack the city, while Lu Bu and Liu Bei mostly dealt with it by skiing and water skiing, and did not really devote their full strength.

The same is true of the current battle situation, mainly because Cao Cao is using his strength, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei are just playing with him.

In this way, as the sky gradually darkened on this day, the troops attacked by Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei also retreated to the camp one after another. For them, the battle for this day was over again.

Although Zhu Wei came to the south gate of Shouchun City a day later than Cao Cao and the others, after this day's hard work, the auxiliary soldiers under the protection of cave carts have already filled up several passages on the moat, and are preparing to The fortifications were built down to the city wall overnight.

So although the sky was getting dark, the army on Zhu Wei's side lit up the torches, and the soldiers who had fought before returned to the barracks to rest in rotation, and there was no intention of stopping.

Zhu Wei planned to continue the war day and night. Although it would not be possible to send tens of thousands of people to stand outside the south gate of Shouchun City for a day every time, he would still station his troops outside Shouchun City in turn to maintain confrontation. The threat of Shouchun City.

Anyway, Zhu Wei's barracks were not far from Shouchun City, and the army could be rotated and dispatched at any time. Even if Zhu Wei didn't take the initiative to attack the city, he wouldn't let Yuan Shu's defenders on the south gate relax.

However, just after it got dark that day, Lu Bu also took action. In Zhu Wei's game map of the Three Kingdoms, the color of Lu Bu's army, which originally belonged to the allies, suddenly changed from light green to crimson enemy marks.

As expected, Lu Bu launched a night attack on Cao Cao at night. At the same time, Yuan Shu in Shouchun City also seemed to respond by sending troops from the north gate to launch a night attack on Cao Jun's army stronghold...
