Chapter 531: Wuling Army Attacks Changsha
In the ninth year of Jian'an, the situation in the world was broken by the Wuling Army again!
Wu Shun personally led 50,000 naval troops, 20,000 Zhuque Legion and 20,000 Qilin Legion, a total of 90,000 elite troops. He used Hanzhong Prefect Xu Shu as his military advisor to raid Changsha County!
The Jingzhou earthquake, Liu Biao was shocked and angry!
The army in Jingzhou gathered in a hurry, and the navy on both sides fought endlessly with the Xiangjiang River. The remaining army fought in Changsha area.
This time, the Wuling Army came suddenly. Liu Biao could be said to be caught off guard.
The Jingzhou Army originally confronted Cao's army in Yuzhou. After the Wuling Army attacked Changsha County, the Jingzhou soldiers in Yuzhou were directly withdrawn by Liu Biao!
The remaining half did not retreat because Liu Biao was not crazy yet, and he knew that Cao Cao was there in the north, which was also a threat. Therefore, the coalition forces were still fighting against Cao Cao.
However, most of the food and grass in the later period were produced by Liu Biao, the "big rich man".
Now that the Wuling Army is attacking Jingzhou, Liu Bei has no choice but to help. As long as he moves, Cao Cao will take action.
The alliance he formed began to fall apart after Wu Shun took action.
Because Sun Ce is from Wu Shun now, Wu Shun has attacked Liu Biao. In order to avoid suspicion, Sun Ce is likely to withdraw.
"Wu Shun, when will you not move? It's really harmful to people when you come out at this time!"
Liu Bei had hatred in his heart, but so what? He couldn't stop all this!
In February of the ninth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce announced the withdrawal of troops from Yuzhou, and Liu Bei's alliance was broken. Fortunately, Liu Biao's army was still there, and with Liu Bei's efforts, the confrontation in Yuzhou continued. However, Cao Cao's pressure was much less.
In March, the Jiaolong Fleet defeated the Jingzhou Navy and approached Changsha! Cai Mao led the navy to resist to the death! The Xiangjiang River is red!
After three months of war, the Wuling Army had occupied half of the city in Changsha County.
At present, Wu Shun is leading troops to besiege Changsha City! After the Jiaolong fleet reached this point, the morale of the Wuling Army had reached its peak.
If Liu Biao had not dispatched troops in time and Liu Lu fought to defend the city, Changsha City would have fallen long ago.
There were 40,000 Wuling troops besieged the city, but there were more than 50,000 Jingzhou troops guarding the city. This is one of the reasons why Wu Shun could not conquer Changsha City.
Another attack was repelled by Liu Lu. Wu Shun ordered the siege to temporarily stop the siege and the entire army retreated!
"Lord, you can get to the city after a few more attacks!"
Wu Shun ordered a retreat, and Zhao Yun, the chief general of the Qilin Legion, was very puzzled.
When attacking Changsha City, his Qilin Army suffered a lot of losses. However, the Jingzhou Army in the city would not feel good either.
Because the Suzaku Legion commanded by Dongfangqiang will launch catapults every day! The walls of Changsha City were destroyed and repaired and damaged! It was also thanks to the large number of Liu Lu people, otherwise they would not be able to repair them at all.
Zhao Yun was already a little red-eyed at this moment, so Wu Shun did not answer his question positively, but said lightly: "It's too late, it's not good for siege!"
From daytime to night, only the soldiers of the Wuling Army have this resilience. Even if they have not captured this city for three months, even if countless robes are killed in battle here, they will not affect their morale.
At night, Wu Shun summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures for the siege.
In order to break through Changsha City, the Wuling Army tried various methods.
Showing the enemy as weak, Liu Lu dared not leave the city!
Lure the tiger away from the mountain, and Liu Lu won’t leave the city!
Liu Lu doesn’t like this when he surrenders and deceiving the city!
Attacking the city at night, Liu Lu is holding on!
There are too many people in Jingzhou when you make a name for yourself!
...
Wuling Army has tried all kinds of useful and useless strategies.
Maybe Liu Pan was too timid and was determined to defend Changsha City. No matter how he tempted him, he would not leave the city. It was clear that he had to stick to it and waste Wu Shun to death.
With the reserves in Changsha City, Liu Pan is confident that he will fight Wu Shun here for a year and a half.
The power of the Vermilion Bird Legion has long been spread all over the world. The princes also found their own solutions to deal with the catapult of the Vermilion Bird Legion.
Inside and outside Changsha City, river sand is covered with sand. Although the attacks of fireball stone bullets are huge, the damage caused is much smaller.
Moreover, Changsha City is strong, and the stone bombs of the Vermilion Bird Legion cannot be broken! Only strong attack!
Wu Shun looked at the people in the tent and said seriously: "It has been three months since the siege! So far, there has been no progress! Yuan Zhi, is there any way?"
Now, Wu Shun had no idea. Therefore, he really hoped that Xu Shu could give him advice.
"Lord, the Xiangjiang River is in a hurry, and it may lead to water to irrigate the city!"
Xu Shu said.
Changsha City is right by the Xiang River, so it is very convenient to divert water into the city. However, this method will hurt the innocent. In ancient times, most of the city walls were built with earth walls, and then stones were built outside, which turned into a thick stone wall.
The base of this kind of wall cannot be soaked in water. Once it is eroded by water, it will automatically collapse.
"It's against the will of heaven!"
Xu Shu's method was a bit cruel, and Wu Shun did not use it! If he was fighting a foreigner and diverting water to the city, Wu Shun would definitely do it immediately. However, most of the city were innocent people, and Wu Shun resisted this crazy approach in his heart.
"Now the only siege force is my Qilin Legion. It would be great if the White Tiger Legion was there."
Zhao Yun said.
In terms of ability to attack the city, Baihu Camp said that it was second, but no one in the Wuling army dared to say that it was first. Even if the Suzaku Legion attacked the city, it only used catapults, giant crossbows, and bows to cover other soldiers.
There have been cases where the Suzaku Legion directly collapsed a city, but Changsha City is indeed difficult to break.
"Lord, can you transfer the White Tiger Camp to come?"
Xu Shu asked.
There is no need for the entire White Tiger Legion, just the White Tiger Camp comes to help.
With the powerful defense of the White Tiger Camp, it may be able to withstand various attacks from the enemy and rush directly to the city.
As long as someone can kill Changsha City, the days when Wuling Army wins will no longer be far away.
Unfortunately, the Qilin Legion's experience and ability in siege are still lacking. Even if Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are extremely brave, no one in the Jingzhou army can stop it and still cannot attack it!
Why?
There are too many soldiers in Jingzhou! There are more than 50,000!
There are only a strange army like Wuling Army, who is still fighting with others even though they know there are many troops guarding the city!
Adjust the White Tiger Camp?
Wu Shun knew that the White Tiger Camp was coming, and it would probably be useless!
There are 50,000 people stationed in the small Changsha City. Even if the White Tiger Legion comes, it will not be defeated.
The human sea tactic is the most rogue tactic. It is to waste you to death, and it is to drag you down!
However, Jingzhou is rich and there is no shortage of food, grass and weapons. Even if the Wuling Army surrounded Chengchangsha City, it would be better to eat and drink in the city.
"Let's retreat for the time being!"
Wu Shun said helplessly.
"retreat?"
In the big tent, the generals said in surprise.
As strong as Wu Shun, he actually said he wanted to withdraw his troops. What is the situation?
"Lord, although there are many soldiers and generals in Changsha City, Liu Pan has no talent. Just persist for a while and Changsha City will undoubtedly be destroyed!"
Xu Shu said.
Everyone knows that Liu Pan is average in ability, but there are too many Jingzhou troops here.
"We are temporarily retreating, Zilong leads his troops to Lingling!"
When Wu Shun retreated, he did not want to retreat to Wuling County, but retreated a little and asked the Qilin Army to go to Lingling County for a walk!
The troops in Jingzhou are mainly distributed in Yuzhou and Changsha, and Lingling is empty!
"The last general will receive the order!"
Chapter completed!
