598, another day passed

The archers arranged by Zhu Wei on the siege arrow tower, because of the number of reasons, when suppressing the Yuan Shu defenders on the city wall, they actually couldn't exert much lethality, even if they could shoot and shoot hundreds of Yuan Shu soldiers, it was impossible to really kill all the defenders.

In fact, their suppression of the Yuanshu defenders on the city wall could only shoot dead and wound more than 100 people at most, after all, the Yuanshu defenders could also use big shields and small shields to block arrows, and they made the Yuanshu defenders need to devote some minds to avoid arrows, and they couldn't focus on defending the city.

But if there were oil tanks for storing fire oil in Shouchun City, then they could play a different role.

This time, the defenders of Yuan Shu on the wall of the urn of Shouchun City did not have the consciousness of protecting the oil canisters at the beginning, so they let the archers on the siege arrow tower ignite the fire oil canisters stored on the city wall in several places.

As these canisters exploded and opened, the head of the urn city wall was inevitably filled with flames and thick smoke, and many of the Yuan Shu defenders around were ignited by the flames, so they could only roll on the ground to extinguish the fire.

As a result, the current clay pot for storing fire oil, under the threat of the archers on the siege arrow tower on Zhu Wei's side, did not dare to be easily exposed to the city wall.

Many of the storage points of the fire oil tanks were very carefully protected by the sword and shield men of the 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 these fire oil tanks with rockets.

This naturally makes the Yuan Shu defenders on the city wall nerve-wracking, if they want to protect these oil tanks, they naturally need many people to hold shields to guard next to the oil tanks, but once the archers on Zhu Wei's side find an opportunity to ignite the oil tanks, these Yuan Shu defenders who are protecting the oil tanks next to them have no chance to escape.

It can be said that once the fire starts, the Yuan Shu defenders who are protected around will turn into fire men in an instant, and there is almost no way to extinguish the flames under the sticky grease inside.

So now, even if Zhang Xun ordered to prepare a lot of fire oil, he didn't dare to transport it to the city wall easily, so it was easy to provide a terrifying source of self-harm for the archers on Zhu Wei's side in vain.

It is conceivable that when the war breaks out, if the Yuan Shu soldiers defending the city want to use the fire oil canister, they will always face the threat of the archers on Zhu Wei's side, and every time they use the fire oil canister, it is equivalent to holding an incendiary bomb that will explode at any time.

Based on Zhang Xun's military judgment, it seems that the only way to deal with Zhu Wei's siege tactics is to send troops out to rush and kill, forcibly destroy those wooden houses erected under the city walls, and destroy those siege arrow towers.

Otherwise, let Zhu Wei's siege tactics continue, I am afraid that no matter how good the city wall defense of Shouchun City is, it will become an ornament.

It's just that he sent troops to fight, Zhang Xun really has no right to make a decision, and he must get Yuan Shu's consent, so Zhang Xun can only ask Yuan Shu to fight, but at the same time, Zhang Xun has some other worries in his heart, even if he sends people out of the city, can he beat 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, and went out of the city to fight with Zhu Wei's army, was it really possible to win?

It's just that Zhang Xun didn't know that although he had already seen the countermeasures to deal with Zhu Wei's siege tactics this time, he also needed to seize the right time, and it could be said that now he might still have the opportunity to send troops out of the city to destroy the siege fortifications that Zhu Wei was building in front of the city wall.

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

And although Zhu Wei also sent troops to block the urn city where Shouchun City sent troops, there were not many troops after all, if Zhang Xun suddenly sent troops, there was still a chance to forcibly destroy those anti-arrow fortifications.

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

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

It's hard to say what the final battle will be, maybe it's just to delay the time for Zhu Wei to attack the city.

Anyway, Zhang Xun failed to seize this fighter, so time passed bit by bit in such a situation.

At this time, on the north gate, east gate, and west gate of Shouchun City, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei's soldiers were also desperately attacking with the feather arrows of Yuan Shu's defenders on the city wall, and the moat was filled in a little bit, and the battle situation in the three places seemed to be very lively.

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

Although they may not be able to make much progress in the siege, especially Liu Bei and Lu Bu, who are more bluffing, but this momentum is really big, the war drums are rumbling, and the sound of killing is bursting, which can really make people watch the flesh and blood boiling.

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

Therefore, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei just sent the people who were recruited and coerced, with the help of the protection of the cave house car, with the feather arrows on the city wall, rushed to the front of the moat, and then threw bags of mud, sand and stones into the river, filling the moat without skill.

However, under the water of the moat, many of the sediment and stones thrown into the moat, even if they are wrapped in straw bags, will soon be washed away by the river, and some of the straw bags will soon fall apart after being soaked in the water, so the sediment inside will become silt at the bottom of the river.

Therefore, although Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei have been attacking Shouchun City for two days, they can only raise the bottom of the moat a little, and if they want to cut off the river and make a road that can pass on the moat, they are afraid that it will take some time.

It is no wonder that it took Cao Cao more than a month to attack Shouchun City in the original history, and in the face of a city of the level of Shouchun City, it is indeed not so easy to attack according to regular means.

What's more, among the three parties of Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, that is, Cao Cao used all his strength to attack the city, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei mostly coped with it by water skiing, and did not really put all their strength into it.

The same is true of today's war situation, mainly because Cao Cao is working hard, and Lu Bu and Liu Bei are also playing with him.

In this way, as the sky gradually darkened on this day, the armies of Cao Cao, Lü Bu, and Liu Bei who were attacking the city also collected their troops and returned to the camp, and for them, the day's war was over again.

Although Zhu Wei came to the south gate of Shouchun City a day later than Cao Cao and them, after this day's efforts, the auxiliary soldiers under the protection of the cave house car had already filled in several sections of passages on the moat, and were ready to build the fortifications under the city wall overnight.

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

Zhu Wei planned to continue the war day and night, and although he would not send tens of thousands of people to stand outside the south gate of Shouchun City for a day every time, he would also stop his troops outside Shouchun City in turn, maintaining the threat to Shouchun City.

Anyway, Zhu Wei's military camp is not far from Shouchun City, and the army can be rotated and deployed at any time, Zhu Wei just doesn't take the initiative to attack the city, but he won't let the Yuan Shu defenders on the south gate relax their carelessness.

However, just after it got dark on this day, Lu Bu's side also made a move, and in Zhu Wei's Three Kingdoms game map, the color of Lu Bu's army, which originally belonged to the allies, suddenly changed from light green to crimson enemy marking.

Lü Bu really launched a night attack on Cao Cao at night, and at the same time, Yuan Shu, who was in Shouchun City, also seemed to send troops from the north gate to launch a night attack on Cao's army's army......
