Chapter 724 Surrounded on Three Sides
General Lu's camp.
Su Chen met Lu Chaoqun and his generals in the tent.
"There are no outsiders here, so we will call you General Su."
"Haha, okay." Su Chen smiled and nodded.
At present, they still use pseudonyms to the outside world, so as to paralyze the Wuyue Army and not pay attention to the Heiyundu West Route Army, so they will continue to fall into the trap. If Song Chengli, Sun Chengyou and others knew that Su Chen was the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, they would definitely not dare He gave chase rashly.
The shadow of a tree and the name of a person must be guarded against.
Lu Chaoqun looked at Su Chen and couldn't help but admire: "General Su first ambushed Sun Chengyou's army, then captured Wuzhou City out of his wits, and now he defeated Song Chengli's army under Yuezhou City. He was really clever and clever, and he used his troops like a god!"
Su Chen naturally had to be polite: "Thank you, General Lu. I was just opportunistic. It can't be used frequently. It can only be useful occasionally. General Lu attacked the city one after another and was invincible. He became famous in one battle and laid the foundation for the Restoration Army." The foundation is more worthy of admiration."
"Haha, General Su is too modest." Lu Chaoqun saw that Su Chen was not arrogant at all, and he appreciated it even more. With the help of such talents, the Restoration Army will be able to achieve great things.
Gao Fuquan, Wang Yuanbo and other generals also knew about Su Chen's two victories at this time and admired them very much.
As soon as the sky dawned, Qi Yingwei, Qin Yan and others learned the news and sent troops to attack the city. It went very smoothly and they captured Yuezhou City. "Yes!" Qi Ying, Wei Dongruo, Su Chen and others all clasped their fists. Bow and accept Song Chengli's instructions.
The orders were chaotic, and the formation of the entire army changed. Archers and crossbowmen from both sides stood in the back row, with their bowstrings fully drawn, just waiting to take action.
Among the common people, there were also some deserters who escaped with the common people. Sure enough, they were not ambushed.
The scene was small and cruel. Corpses fell one after another, and there were casualties all over the city.
Just like that, they fought for eight days and brought little threat to Yuezhou City.
The two sides' long-range attacks took the lead.
The siege is over, and arrows are flying like rain.
After all the arrangements were made, the siege ended the next day.
Qi Yingwei nodded before hearing the words and said: "General Su's analysis makes no sense. You can implement it according to that strategy. Tomorrow your Lu family army will be responsible for attacking the south gate. General Su will lead the troops to retreat and attack the east gate. Qi Ying, General Wei Dongruo led his troops to retreat to the west gate, and left the north gate to retreat. He asked Su Chen to lead a group of soldiers and horses to ambush in the mountains and forests seven miles away. There must be no small-scale deserters escaping from anywhere. If they retreat and intercept them, they will definitely It’s the people who are fleeing, and it’s something that needs to be taken care of.”
At present, in Yuezhou City, military camps were set up on all sides, east, west, and south, surrounding Qinyan City and making a fierce attack posture.
In fact, no people even planned to escape from the north.
The light trombone and the shocking drums sounded at that moment. For a moment, the small army beat the drummers, trumpeters, and the flag bearers all moved. The curtain fell.
Whoosh whoosh!
"Next, General Su thinks, how should we capture Yuezhou City?"
Although no counselor suggested sticking to the city and fighting fiercely with the Baiyundu bandits, but because they were surrounded on all sides and the net was wide open, not many soldiers wanted to just live and die with the city.
"Fire the arrow!"
The general in charge of Yuezhou City was named Li Kuo. Seeing this was a wonderful situation, he decided to advance.
There were also many artillery vehicles, using cyclone cannons, throwing fire oil cans, boulders, etc. to attack the defenders at the top of the city.
However, on the eighth day of the eighth watch, when Li Kuo led his troops to escape, they were blocked by Su Chen's troops. They were immediately defeated and fled in seven places. Even the guard Li Kuo was captured.
At this moment, Qi Yingwei regarded himself as a general and issued orders on his behalf.
This directly shook the morale of the army and the morale of defending the city to the end. The soldiers at the top of the city became weak during the defense in the next few days, and were almost breached several times.
Seeing this, Li Kuo felt that the situation was serious, so he ordered a group of troops to leave Yuezhou overnight and go back to Hangzhou city.
After all, Qi Ying and Wei Dongqiang had already been defeated by Sun Chengyou, leaving only more than 10,000 defeated generals, who could no longer withstand Wu Yue's army. Fortunately, Su Chen arrived and defeated Wu Yue's Sun Chengyou's army.
Sun Cheng said: "The main force of Lu Zheng, which was only 70,000 to 80,000 troops, was withdrawn from Jinling and Runzhou. It was rescued by Wu Yue and led by Lu Chaoqun. Now that it has been wiped out, Lu Zheng's court will no longer have elite troops to rescue Yue."
You only need to attack the city from all sides, open one gate to give the people and soldiers in the city a chance to escape, and then set up an ambush inside. If the people want to stop them, they must be small-scale deserters. Take the opportunity to capture Dao.
That’s it, open one side of the siege net.”
Sun Cheng did not fight for power with me. At that time, it was interesting to fight back and forth. The key was to attack Yuezhou first, then take Hangzhou to welcome Yang Ling'er, Han Xizai and other ministers who came later.
However, the military orders came like a mountain, and the soldiers attacked the city like a tide. The Lu Zheng soldiers at the head of the city were also resisting bravely.
Du Yuhou took the order, opened the city at night, and let the first wave of thousands of people out of the city. They fled in panic from the north city gate. However, they did not encounter an ambush and escaped smoothly.
Restoring the country is the top priority, and everything else is important.
Encircled on all sides, the small army formed a bad formation and ended the siege.
[Search "Spring Gift" on the Xiaoxiang APP and new users will receive 500 book coins, and old users will receive 200 book coins] The generals had a banquet at the Lu family camp, and then Sun Cheng and others entered and exited the camp and returned to their respective camps.
But it's the same when defending a city. The archers on the city's head can't just shoot arrows, and the archers on the city can't stop shooting. So the bows and arrows are like rain, and they can't stop shooting at each other.
A heavy white rain of arrows covered the sky and poured out.
At the same time, some signs were placed at the north gate to guide the soldiers and civilians in the city. They should not leave from outside, which would harm the civilians.
The siege soldiers pushed chariots, rushed chariots, protected them with shields, and mounted ladders to violently attack the city.
The arrows from the city head shot upward towards the soldiers and horses, while Baiyundu's archers finished their counterattack and shot towards the city head.
Without the first batch, there would be no seventh batch. The next day, there were not many people shouting to leave the city and leave Yuezhou, because the people were worried that the rebel army would be the first to kill red eyes and enter the city to burn and kill. They were also worried that if they were the first to defend the city, every family would
Strong men will be selected to defend the city, so anyone who wants to become cannon fodder will flee.
Special bows and arrows used in ancient wars, with a special shooting range of 100 to 170 steps. The bow body is two meters long. It is made of bent yew or ash wood. The cost is relatively low. When archery, it is shot at people.
, but shoot it diagonally downward into the sky, waiting for the arrow to fall naturally. Because there is no shield protection in the front, it is easy to avoid the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the speed increases when sliding down, so the strength is weakened.
Before Li Kuo stood firm, he said: "First let a wave of people out of the city to test the situation, see if there are no ambushes, see what Baiyundu's character is like, and whether he can keep his word!"
"Siege the city!"
Such special archers basically each have an arrow pot, and there are seventeen arrows in each pot. It must be a field battle. In a special battle, eight or seven rounds ago, the opponent's chariots and cavalry have not rushed behind. , basically there will be a situation where the arrows run out.
