Chapter 387: The Liangzhou Army Attacks Sanjiang Again (Continued)
This is Lei Tong's idea, and of course it is also the idea of many Liangzhou soldiers.
The Liangzhou soldiers braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward directly, of course, the soldiers in front of them were still holding shields. Although the shield they are holding now cannot be 100% protected against arrows at the head of the city, it has to be said that this has indeed played a role, which is not bad at all.
The arrows at the head of the city fell mercilessly, but the soldiers of the Liangzhou army were still not afraid, although they all knew that this Sanjiang City was definitely one of the most difficult cities (Dazhai) in the world to attack, but because it was not unbroken before, they did still have some confidence. Even if the last time was because of the help of King Mulu, the broken city was still broken, and as for the rest, they didn't think about it so much.
And who made the Liangzhou army in the limelight now, because of the victory over the rattan armor soldiers of the Ugo country, almost wiped out their entire army, which made the self-confidence and morale of the Liangzhou soldiers, which was really much higher, and this was also the benefit of the previous big victory-
Looking at the Liangzhou soldiers who were not afraid of death under the city, Meng You beat the drum in his heart, and said in his heart that according to this situation, his own Sanjiang City, even if there is the help of the people and horses of the Ugo country, how long can it be held? Is it ten, twenty, or ......
Meng You didn't know either, after all, he knew that there weren't many soldiers in his own silver pit that he would rely on before, so it was impossible to be the same as before. It's a steady stream of troops. And the foot soldiers of the Ugo country are limited in number after all, and it is the first time to cooperate with their own side. It was the first time I came to Sanjiang City as a guard, so they weren't very familiar with it at all, so they went to the battlefield like this, which was really unfamiliar.
And the rattan armor soldiers that they relied on before are now even few, and the Liangzhou army still has a way to break the rattan armor soldiers. However, because it is now a siege battle, Meng You has not thought about it. If there are really many rattan armor soldiers, even if they are five or six thousand, then as long as they reach the head of Sanjiang City. Then it will definitely work wonders. After all, it is true that the Liangzhou army has a way to deal with the rattan armor soldiers, but this is not a field battle, but a siege battle, and I still don't believe it. What can they do to attack the men and horses at the head of the city! ――
It's a pity. The vine armor soldiers were almost wiped out, otherwise, they wouldn't have come to Sanjiang City. Even if his brother can't wipe his face, but the person with the vulture bone is very bold and generous, so he will definitely take the initiative to bring it up, just like he asked the foot soldiers of the Ugo Kingdom to come to Sanjiang City before, which is the same. It's just a pity, a pity.
And so it was. Both sides were caught in a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and one side attacked fiercely. All of them are not afraid of death, and they vow not to break the three rivers and never return them.
As for the other side, the soldiers of the Silver Pit Cave who defended the city and the foot soldiers of the Ugo Kingdom, they really struggled. Although they are not as ruthless as the Liangzhou sergeants, but how to say it, they did their best, although they did not take out twelve points of strength, but eight/nine points, but there must be. Otherwise, looking at it now, it would not be that the Liangzhou army is still slightly at a disadvantage, and the defending side has a slight upper hand.
This is naturally a factor with the barrier of Sanjiang City, but it is also indispensable to the efforts of everyone, otherwise it will not be so-
But even so, Meng You was still not so satisfied with the guards at the head of the city. In his opinion, he still has the soldiers of the Ugo country, and he obviously has one or two points of strength to use, but why didn't he do his best.
So while directing his own battle, he shouted to everyone, "Didn't you fucking eat?" Give me an all-out attack, do you want to die under the butcher's knife of the Liangzhou army? ”
As a result, when Meng You said this, it really played a role, at least some people were already working harder. They can also see it, this is not enough to do their best, the Liangzhou army has not come up yet, but if they come up, no one will show mercy at this time. So instead of waiting until that time to fight them, it's better to not let them come up at this time, isn't that better than anything else?
So someone is really, he has already used all his strength, Ma Chao looked at it later, he frowned slightly, he could see that he couldn't do it today-
He glanced at Lu Xun next to him and said, "What does Bo Yan think about today's war?" ”
Lu Xunxin said, Lord, you must have understood, but you still have to ask me.
But he still said: "Lord, when this batch of attacks is over, Mingjin will collect his troops and let General Lei Tong come back!" ”
Ma Chao sighed in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart that it was true, it was still so. The current situation actually doesn't seem to be much different from the previous attack on Sanjiang City. The difference may be that now the self-confidence and morale of his own soldiers, the other party's Yinkengdong soldiers do not have many people, and they have to rely on the foot soldiers of the Ugo country to supplement.
But even so, they still don't have as many soldiers as they did at the beginning. After all, at that time, there were more than 100,000 people and horses in Yinkengdong, and now they add the foot soldiers of the Ugo country, there are only tens of thousands in total? Talking about 30,000 people, that's actually a lot, if it's not wrong, it's actually more than 20,000.
But now there are more than 30,000 people on our side, and if we talk about attacking the city, it is not false that we do not have an advantage.
But how do you count this, the guards at the head of the city now. Although I still have the fighting spirit and try my best, I still talk about it. They are demoralized, but they are not performing at their normal level, so they have the advantage of their own side.
But because the other party has a lot of people, and it also occupies the advantage of Sanjiang City, so in the end, when it comes together, it is still not advantageous for its own side. They have a slight upper hand.
Ma Chao had to think about it at this time, could it be that he really had to rely on the people inside Sanjiang City as before. Can we break through Sanjiang City again?
Thinking about it, it seems to be the same, otherwise, with 30,000 people on his side, it is estimated that he will really break Sanjiang City completely. I didn't know that there were thousands more. If you really want to talk about it. If he still has more than 100,000 people, then if he breaks the city guarded by more than 20,000 people, then not only will the time be shortened, but the loss of men and horses will be relatively less. But in this situation, even if it is a victory, it can only be a miserable victory.
And now Yizhou can still provide itself with people, can it be. But it can only be a county soldier, not a regular Liangzhou army. But the combat power of the soldiers of that county. Let them attack the city, what is the difference between that and cannon fodder? Ma Chao doesn't think he is a good person, but when it comes to it, he also has his own principles. There are some things that he will never do, so don't even think about it.
When Lei Tong was forced to retreat, Ma Chao made a quick decision and asked the soldier Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding...... Dingdingding......"
Hearing the sound of his own Mingjin withdrawing his troops, Lei Tong took his own men and horses and retreated unwillingly. Yes, may he be willing, although he didn't expect to capture Sanjiang City in a battle, but every time he led troops to attack Sanjiang City, he seemed to be so aggrieved. He had thought about when he could really lead his troops to break through Sanjiang City, otherwise, would he really have to wait to meet with the people?
Not to mention, he and his lord's thoughts are similar-
Lei Tong came back with his troops, came to his lord, and said a few words to his lord, which was nothing more than the unfavorable words of his own siege. Of course, this Lei Tong really thinks that it is not good for him to attack the city, otherwise it would not be like this.
But for Ma Chao, this was all expected, so he just smiled, "Okay, don't say anything, let's go back to the camp and discuss it!" ”
"No!"
Lei Tong promised, followed his lord and generals, and returned to his own camp.
And Meng You at the head of the city, they saw that Ma Chao was indeed retreating with the soldiers of the Liangzhou army, he clenched his fist with his right hand, smashed the battlements of the city wall, and said in his heart that he finally withdrew, and the pressure on himself from the Liangzhou army was really not small! If this continues, how long can you hold on? Is this Liangzhou army going to transfer troops again? How long can this last?
Of course, Meng You doesn't know, now Chengdu has no soldiers to send, as for the county soldiers, they can only be cannon fodder-
Ma Chao took the generals back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after everyone sat down, Ma Chao said: "Everyone, we are straight to the point, now in this situation, even if we can break Sanjiang City in the end, we will win in the end!" ”
As a result, after listening to their lord's words, many people sighed, they could see this, but they just didn't say it before, and after seeing today's war, they felt it even deeper.
Ma Chao saw everyone's expressions, he knew it in his heart, and then continued: "Then we have to think about how we can break Sanjiang City and make our army not have such a big loss!" They don't know about this Meng and Meng You, but don't you know that Chengdu is now unable to draw people! ”
When everyone heard this, this is really the case, they all know about the situation in Chengdu now, and now they can only use these more than 30,000 people to deal with more than 20,000 people in Sanjiang City. In the end, it is also a miserable victory, which goes without saying, everyone understands. But what the hell is going to be, if you can break Sanjiang City, you don't have to lose so much on your own. Is that the problem, or the biggest problem?
As soon as Ma Chao's words fell, one person said in a not very proficient Chinese dialect: "Lord, my subordinates think that they should be like last time, and they should be in harmony with others!" ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't need to look at it, they all knew who it was. Isn't it the Trojan horse that took refuge in him before, the youngest son of the Mulu King, who else can there be besides him?
Trojan Horse usually follows Ma Chao's side, because he himself does not have too high martial arts, so for such talents, Ma Chao is like protecting Lu Xun, and he also protects him. After all, he knew that in the future, when dealing with Cao Cao and them, he really had to rely on this Trojan horse that would drive fierce beasts.
And when I saw the rattan armor soldiers at that time, I was frightened by the Trojan horse. After all, he was a native of the Southern Barbarians, so even if he hadn't seen a rattan armor soldier before, he had really heard of it, and he had heard what his father said, so he was very impressed. I remember that my father told me when I was a child, this is to say that the Southern Barbarians are the largest and the most powerful, and it is recognized that it may be Meng Huo-
But if you really want to talk about it, this most powerful soldier is definitely none other than the vine armor soldiers of the Ugo country. However, because the vulture bones rarely fight with people, the vine armor soldiers naturally rarely appear in the field of vision of the Southern Barbarian tribes, but those who really know and understand the vine armor soldiers never dare to underestimate them, and they all stay away.
His father made it clear to himself that when he met the soldiers in rattan armor, he should quickly stay away from them, because only the rattan armor soldiers of the Ugo country wore them like that. And this rattan armor is indeed evil enough, invulnerable, and can also avoid water, which is definitely not something ordinary can deal with.
Therefore, when the Trojan saw the vine armor soldiers, it really startled him. (To be continued......)
