Chapter 808 - Take the lead
Lu Bu stood at the head of the city and saw the enemy army surging in black.
At this moment, he seemed to see thousands of troops.
"My soldiers, who could have been like this at the beginning, were desperate for everything, and were invincible as the soldiers pointed at." Lu Bu said secretly in his heart.
He was very disappointed with the current soldiers, who had not experienced actual combat and could not train.
He is a general, a former king of the battlefield, and what he desires is to command a large army and fight bloody battles with the enemy.
He was born to be suitable for the battlefield, however, a war general, he did not have an army in his hands that could be commanded, an army that could be commanded at will like an arm.
But the enemy has, and the army below is no worse than the army that has been trained by itself.
Lu Bu looked down on Zhang Yu, but he never underestimated his army.
Lu Bu believes that among all the armies, Zhang Yu's soldiers and horses are the most combative, and they are an army that cannot be broken.
The arrows under the city attacked, and Lu Bu waved Fang Tian's halberd at will and set it all aside.
But his soldiers did not have this ability, some fought to dodge, others were shot on the spot.
Lu Bu did not move, like a god of war, he was there, and he didn't even have to command the army, and the army would not be in chaos.
His own generals commanded the soldiers to begin a counterattack.
This kind of battlefield is absolutely not possible without the command of a general.
Some soldiers hid under the battlements when they encountered a rain of arrows, they could not see the battlefield clearly, they did not know what the overall battlefield was, there was no one to command, and they could not coordinate and unify.
"Put."
A young general at the head of the city shouted to release the arrows, and the archers hiding under the battlements came out together, quickly unleashed their arrows, and the commander quickly hid again.
If there are no generals, they can't coordinate, and naturally they can't coordinate their attacks.
There were many commanders in the city, each in charge of a section of the wall, and there were several guards around them to protect them.
At this time, several big men will go back and forth to inspect the city to stabilize the overall situation, and the real commanders are those junior generals, and some are just veterans.
"Don't panic, don't panic, the enemy can't attack."
"Don't panic, don't run around, just follow the order to dodge."
"Don't run around, run and die faster."
Several veterans and juniors kept shouting for those recruits to hold on.
When the enemy's arrow array attacked, the arrows were all over the sky and powerful, and many recruits broke down psychologically on the spot.
When they saw that their companions were shot on the spot, they immediately panicked, and some of them simply collapsed or ran around.
Whoever sees this kind of scene for the first time will have weak legs.
This battle is not easy for them.
Lu Bu stood in place for an hour, watching the enemy attack like this.
"If you give me 50,000 troops to join the state, you will definitely be able to hold it for a month." Lu Bu thought to himself.
At this time, Lu Bu also had no confidence, but his face did not show it.
He is the god of war and is too sensitive to the battlefield.
The enemy's offensive rhythm is very well controlled, and the quality of their middle and lower-level commanding officers is very high, and most of their own are directly played by veterans.
Lu Bu patrolled the city, and his appearance could somewhat boost morale.
Under the city.
Zhang Yu sat on his horse and kept carefully observing the battlefield.
He did not personally command, nor did he personally inspect the other walls.
Like Lu Bu, he was assessing both sides of the enemy.
"It doesn't take a month, half a month is enough, but the loss is a bit big." After watching it for the same hour, Zhang Yu came to his own conclusion.
The soldiers were fighting fiercely, especially the infantry who stormed the city walls.
Brave enemy arrows and rolling logs and stones to climb the city.
Many of the soldiers failed to climb the top of the city, and were stoned down halfway through.
A good soldier can move on the ladder to avoid the rocks above, but if he touches the rolling log, the long log will roll down from the top, and there is no way to dodge.
However, a log requires two or three people to lift it up and throw it down, and this process is not instantaneous, the archers under the city will keep an eye on it, and once it appears, several archers will immediately attack.
These enemy losses were also very large, and the defenders at the head of the city had already changed a group.
Several generals fought the most ferociously, he organized two groups of death squads to storm the city walls, and at the same time let the archers under the city directly fight the enemy, and they let three waves of archers take turns to fire without interruption.
If the enemy wants to fight back, he can only brave the rain of arrows from the other side.
After a few hard fights, it depends on who has more blood and who can't hold it first.
In the end, Yuan Jun couldn't hold on, and there was no protective shooting, and most of Yuan Jun were recruits, so they were instigated first.
After the instigation, the besieging army took the opportunity to ascend to the top of the city.
After ascending to the top of the city, Dian Wei ordered the army to charge.
Unfortunately, after about a quarter of an hour, reinforcements arrived from the city and drove them off the city.
Although this battle did not get much cheap, it was attacked on the first day, which had a huge impact on morale.
"Grandma Xiong, when I am prepared enough, prepare three waves of troops, I will definitely be able to hold the city." When the army was driven down, Dian Wei suspended the attack and cursed under the city.
Previously, because the support was not timely enough, and the enemy reinforcements did not know the arrival, the position at the head of the city could not be held, and it was driven down again.
Dian Wei is crazy, and Yu Ban is even more skillful.
Yu Ban himself is a master of defending the city, and a master of defending the city will also be a master of siege.
He knows how to defend, and he knows where the enemy's weaknesses are.
"Don't keep the rhythm of the archers consistent, change often, and let the enemy touch the rules."
"Some archers are used exclusively to interfere with the enemy's judgment."
"All the archers prepare, after one round, rest and pause for two breaths, and then give me three shots, move fast."
Yu Ban commanded the archers, a round of attacks, and then, after the rain of arrows, the enemy immediately rose up to counterattack.
At this time, it happened to be two breaths, but Yu Ban asked the soldiers to shoot three times in a row.
Arrows came one after another, and the archers on the head of the city had just emerged, and at this time they were shrouded by the array of arrows, and they were still in three waves in a row, and it was too late to hide.
The archers who came out to attack suffered heavy losses at once with the defenders of the city, who had been in tacit cooperation.
The officer in command had a dark face, this time he was fooled, he couldn't catch it off guard, and he lost seventy or eighty percent of his combat strength.
At this time, the reinforcements behind were urgently mobilized and hurriedly came up to support.
At this point, the army that rushed to the city climbed to the top of the city.
There was another bloody battle at the head of the city, and in the end, Yu Ban and they were driven down.
On the first day of siege, the enemy was not tired, and at the same time, the follow-up reinforcements were enough, and it was very normal to be driven off the city.
Lu Bu didn't expect that he would be broken through the city wall twice on the first day.
The day's fighting ended in this way.
Zhang Yu collected his troops and went back, he didn't want to fight at night.
"Attack the city wall, get the first hand, and the battle below will be much easier."
LĂź Bu had 200,000 soldiers and horses, but they were all new soldiers, and they were attacked on the first day, and their morale was shaken.
