It’s fun to watch without ads!

Because it was an away battle and there were various inconveniences in transportation, it was not until noon the next day after the Xuzhou army started to fill in the Hefei moat that Xuzhou Xizuo, who was lurking in the Xiang'an area, sent the news that Sun Ben and Wu Jing's army was heading north to reinforce Qiao Rui to the Hefei battlefield.

On. After receiving this news, I was kissing

Deputy Director Tao, who had commanded the Xiangyang artillery team to bombard the Hefei city defenses, felt guilty. His first reaction was of course his heart sinking, and he said to himself: "Another fierce battle has been fought. The people of the old Sun family are not only united, but they are also better at fighting.

This time we attack Hefei Jiancheng, I’m afraid the estimated casualties will increase again.”

Unlike deputy director Tao who was petty and worried, Tao Ji, who was useless during the siege, was ecstatic and hurriedly ran to Tao Ying to ask for a fight, "Second brother, please order me to lead the army to fight."

The two thieves Sun and Wu do not need too many troops. They only need to dispatch more than 1,400 people from my younger brother's headquarters to guard the 12,000 troops that can defeat Sun Wu's army and prevent them from reinforcing Hefei!"

The Xuzhou generals next to him all rolled their eyes at Tao Ji, and they all cursed Tao Ying in their hearts. The Tao Ji brothers were all the same thing. They were bitches and liked to build archways. They only led more than 1,400 people from their own army to fight against Sun Bi.

And Wu Jing's 12,000-strong army - the more than 1,400 people under your command can be called the Junzi Army?! In

After scolding the Tao brothers for being shameless, Generals Xu Chu and Gao Shun came out at the same time to clasp their fists at Tao Ying, and asked for a fight in unison: "My lord, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Besides, the Junzi Army is not good at fighting annihilation battles. The last general is willing to lead

Three thousand elite soldiers are sent to fight Sun Wu's army. Sun Bi will be killed, and the heads of the two Wu Jing thieves will be presented to the tent!"

"Who said that our Gentleman Army is not good at fighting annihilation battles?" Tao Ji was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Then who annihilated the original Zuo Rong rebels and the later Cao Chun Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

"It seems that most of Zuo Rong's troops collapsed, right?" Gao Shun retorted with a smile, and said: "Sun Wu's bandit army still has more than 12,000 people. The number of the gentleman's army is too small and it will be difficult to destroy it, otherwise it will be destroyed.

I will go with the three generals, and if we cooperate with the infantry and cavalry to fight together, we will be more confident in annihilating Sun Wu's bandit army."

Tao Ji was very satisfied when he heard this. He immediately nodded in agreement, but Xu Sheng stood up again, using the excuse that his direct lineage Feng Yu Army could not enter the city battlefield. He asked to lead his army to meet the enemy with Tao Ji, leaving Gao Shun to stay.

Hefei siege. Other Xuzhou generals

There are also many requests for war, and they are all willing to lead troops to fight in the field. They don’t want to stay in Hefei to fight the tough battle. Like Deputy Director Tao, the generals in Xuzhou also have a headache in the frontal battle. The progress is slow and the casualties are huge. It is not easy.

Earn military exploits.

Seeing that the generals in Xuzhou wanted to fight fiercely, Tao Ying was naturally very satisfied. He also felt that defeating the enemies one by one would be a good choice to defeat them easily, so he began to figure out who to send out to fight against Sun Wu's reinforcements. But at this moment,

Newly joined the Xuzhou team

But Jia Laofu came up, smiled and whispered: "My lord, it is good to defeat the enemies one by one. But Xu heard that it was Sun Ben, Wu Jing and my lord had an sworn hatred. After they came to Hefei,

I’m afraid it’s hard to keep your composure and hold on, right?”

Tao Ying's body was shaken, and when he quickly turned to look at Jia Xu, he and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled. They both had that disgusting evil smile on their faces. After laughing, Tao Ying turned to Tao Ji and ordered

He said: "Tao Ji, you can lead the army of gentlemen to fight Sun Wu's army, but there is a condition. You must lose but not win. If you lose for a few battles, then come back."

"Defeat is allowed but victory is not allowed? Why?" Qingtou Ji was dumbfounded.

"Don't ask why, are you going? If you don't go, I will ask Li Ming to take over your command of the Junzi Army to fight. You stay in the camp and supervise the craftsmen to build siege weapons." Tao Ying threatened. Tao Ji opened his mouth.

opened his mouth for a long time

Only then could he weakly clasp his fists and sing a promise, and go down in disgrace amidst the roaring laughter of Xuzhou generals to prepare for the expedition. Tao Ying turned his attention to the Hefei city wall again, raising his original telescope to patiently observe the siege effect of Xiangyang cannon.

Qiao Rui is obviously a general who is very good at learning lessons and fighting with his head. Because he has suffered enough losses from the Xiangyang cannon in Yin Ling, Qiao Rui did not waste any more energy this time to strengthen the city towers and buildings on the city walls.

All efforts are put into fortifying the city

In addition to the strength of the wall itself, as soon as he saw the Xuzhou army dispatching the Xiangyang cannon, Qiao Rui immediately withdrew from the city tower, hid all the soldiers in the military building, and ordered the soldiers to hide behind the arrow stacks and throw the Xiangyang cannon into the blind spot to avoid those absolutely fatal ones.

huge stone bullet. So two

Ten reinforced Xiangyang cannons and forty improvised Xiangyang cannons jointly bombarded the city for nearly an hour, and they only smashed the city tower of Hefei's north gate into rubble, killing and injuring the defenders.

Not too many. At the same time, the strategically important city of Hefei

The strength of the pool is also obviously higher than that of Yinling. A stone bullet weighing about three hundred kilograms hit the city wall, which means that it smashed some of the city wall bricks. It is difficult to directly damage the rammed earth part inside the city bricks. If you want to rely solely on

It is obviously not that easy for Xiangyang cannon to destroy the city wall.

After discovering these circumstances, Deputy Director Tao gave up his desire to take advantage of the situation and began to focus his thoughts on the only two remaining options. One was to resolutely attack head-on without any tricks and strive to minimize casualties.

Take the fortified city of Hefei; the second is to simply conduct a thorough frontal assault.

Give up, try every means to lure the defenders into battle, and kill the main force of the defenders in the field. Considering Qiao Rui's reticent combat habits, Deputy Director Tao once gave up this hope, but now Sun Bi and Wu Jing are two sworn enemies.

appeared, but Deputy Director Tao saw a glimmer of hope...

"How about sending an envoy to ask Sun Bi and Wu Jing to give Sun Shangxiang to me as a concubine? When they are angry, they will definitely force Qiao Rui to leave the city for a decisive battle. After they are dealt with by me in the field battle, for the sake of

If you want to survive, maybe you can actually give Sun Shangxiang to me?" While thinking about various unethical strategies, Deputy Director Tao even happily planned such a plan.

………………

By the way, I would also like to introduce the situation in Hefei City. When sixty Xiangyang cannons simultaneously dropped sixty giant stone bombs, smashing the towering Hefei city tower into a piece of rubble, it was the first time I saw the power of Xiangyang cannons.

The generals of the Hefei garrison were stunned, their little faces suddenly turned pale, and there was only one thought left in their minds, "How can we fight this battle? How can Hefei be defended?"

After regaining their senses, Liu Kai, Liu Ye and others inevitably rushed to Qiao Rui, requesting that death warriors be sent out of the city immediately to raid, destroy the Xuzhou army's Xiangyang artillery position, and prevent the Xiangyang artillery from advancing further against the Hefei city defense.

Qiao Rui smiled bitterly and told the generals: "It's useless.

It doesn't matter whether it's day or night. When I was in Yinling City, I sent a suicide squad to raid once during the day and twice at night. The result was that they died in vain. The Tao Ying traitor protected the stone machine position the most strictly, and also prepared

We must have a reserve team. What we are waiting for is for our dead soldiers to leave the city and die."

Looking back at the Xuzhou troops who were waiting on both sides of the Xiangyang artillery position, the Hefei generals believed that Qiao Rui's words were true. Then Liu Qie asked worriedly: "But Marshal, the Xuzhou bandit army's stone machine is so powerful, we

How can we fight a city defense battle?"

"How to fight? Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Qiao Rui asked with a wry smile.

"Of course it's the truth." Liu Kai was a little dissatisfied with Qiao Rui's tone that was not serious enough.

"I want to hear the truth..." Qiao Rui hesitated for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you the truth - the only way to hold on to Hefei is to take human lives! This is what Xuzhou and I are doing

The experience summed up during the battle between the rebels and the Xuzhou rebels took advantage of our unique location of the city wall to fight with the Xuzhou rebels from a high position.

Fighting to the death, without considering casualties, can only hold on to the determination to fight until the last soldier and never give up. Only in this way can we hope to hold on to Hefei City for a long time. As long as we can do this, even if Hefei is finally lost, we will

It can consume a large amount of the Xuzhou bandit army, leaving the Xuzhou bandit army with no remaining strength to continue attacking Liyang and Shuxian."

The faces of the generals in Hefei became even paler, while Qiao Rui turned his gaze to the Xuzhou army position in the distance and said to himself: "When Sun Bi and Wu Jing arrive, I will immediately block the four gates of Hefei so that they can't get out even if they want to.

Go. I can only make up my mind. Even if it costs the lives of all the soldiers in Hefei, I will buy precious time for my lord."

"Take human life to pay for it? This Marshal Qiao really wants to be like the legend. He can only defend in battle and never know how to use his brain. Hasn't he read a military book and doesn't know the principle of good and evil complementing each other?" He is very resourceful.

Liu Yexian

This was what he was planning in his heart, and he thought to himself: "I hope that the situation will change after the reinforcements from Generals Sun Bi and Wu Jing arrive. Otherwise, the lives of all the soldiers in Hefei will be lost on this bridge."

In the hands of the handsome man."

……………………

Tao Ying probably didn't need to explain to his cousin Leng Touqing that he was allowed to lose but not win, because after Tao Ji led the Junzi Army to encounter Sun Wujun, he soon discovered that Sun Bi and Wu Jing seemed to know the tactics and characteristics of the Junzi Army very well.

, not only marched very cautiously,

After Huanyi encountered the Junzi Army, he not only resolutely refused to challenge the three famous generals of the Junzi Army, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but without saying a word, he immediately lined up to entertain the Junzi Army with strong bows and crossbows. The Junzi Army wanted to

It is very difficult to win head-on.

Unable to make a head-on collision, Tao Ji had to take a detour to capture Sun Wu's rear army's baggage train, only to find that Sun Wu's rear army immediately pushed the vehicles to the front to form a circular formation. The soldiers hid behind the vehicles and used bows and crossbows to suppress the arrow rain of the Junzi Army.

Moreover, the number of bow and crossbow weapons and equipment is quite astonishing. Five hundred people at a time were equipped with at least

Hundreds of crossbows, more than 10,000 troops, and at least 2,000 people are all equipped with crossbows. The proportion of long-range weapons is far better than any enemy the Junzi Army has encountered before, and the range of the horse bow in hand is not as good as the infantry bow and strong crossbow.

Naturally, it is difficult for a gentleman's army to repeat its old tricks and use Mangu evil tactics to defeat such an army.

Seeing such a scene, Tao Ji, who had gradually grown up under the training of his two cousins, quickly guessed the reason - it must be that one of Zhou Yu or Cheng Pu and Huang Gai had become a free agent and used the tactics of the Gentleman Army.

Characteristics of Sun Ce’s cousin Sun Bi

He and his uncle Wu Jing taught each other everything, and also told Sun Bi and Wu Jing all their experiences in fighting the Junzi Army that they had summed up with blood and lives. Therefore, Sun Bi and Wu Jing had already done this when they crossed the river to reinforce Yuan Shu.

We are ready to face the Junzi Army.

Of course, if Tao Ji is willing, the Junzi Army, whose maneuver speed is close to abnormal, is not helpless against Sun Wu's army. It can at least force Sun Wu's army to march like a tortoise, allowing Sun Wu's army to cover a day's journey.

Five days. But it’s a pity that no matter how young and energetic Tao Ji is, he doesn’t dare to disobey the Lord.

Due to the order from his cousin, Tao Ji could only make the Junzi Army pretend to be helpless and scream a few times like killing pigs in front of Sun Wu's army, and then he honestly withdrew his troops and returned to the Hefei camp.

After reporting the battle situation to Tao Ying, Sun Bi and Wu Jing were able to continue their journey north and rushed to Hefei to reinforce Qiao Rui.

"Maybe he came prepared?" After listening to Tao Ji's battle report and personal opinions, Tao Ying immediately smiled and said: "Of course he came prepared. Who are Sun Ben and Wu Jing? One is Sun Ce.

One of his cousins ​​is Sun Ce’s uncle, and he has part of the army. Let’s

Can Zhou Yu, my old enemy, not tell Sun Bi and Wu Jing about the situation of Jun Zijun? But you can analyze this. You have made some progress. You will continue to work hard in the future and use your brain more in battles. You cannot be stupid and only know how to fight head-on.

That way you will never become a stand-alone general."

Tao Ji, who was rarely praised by Tao Ying, retired happily, but Xu Sheng stood up. He bowed his hands to Tao Ying and said: "My lord, since the Sun Wu rebel army is equipped with so many hard crossbows, their arrows will be consumed.

It must be extremely huge, and the logistics supply requirements are also extremely high. The final general asked for an order to lead the army to fight, using wind feather arrows to consume a large number of arrows of Sun Wu's thief army, reducing the risk of our main force in the head-on confrontation with Sun Wu's thief army.

pressure."

"Don't worry, let me think carefully about how to defeat Sun Wu's army." Tao Ying shook his head, stood up and walked to the map sand table. He waved Tao Ji to him and asked Tao Ji to point out the location of the last battle with Sun Wu's army.
To be continued...
