Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1235 Fighting Jiangling

Chapter 1233: Battle Jiangling

After Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing joined forces, they turned back to kill Liu Xiu and the others, but when they arrived at the gate of Jiangling City, the gate of Jiangling City was closed, and they still failed to catch up.

"withdraw."

Yue Fei decisively ordered to retreat, and as soon as he finished speaking, arrows rained down on the city tower.

"Everyone be careful."

Yue Fei and the others dodged, blocked, and ran away with their horses. They quickly escaped from the range of the archers, and none of them fell off the horse.

Returning to the front of the army formation, Yue Fei held up the Liquan Zhanlong Spear and shouted: "Qin Army..."

"Definitely."

"The Qin army will surely win..."

The tens of thousands of troops were almost like one person, and they uttered extremely neat shouts and roars, and their momentum was deafening overnight.

Yue Fei had just beheaded Wei Yan and defeated Wei Wentong and Gai Yan. This kind of performance impressed the whole army, so the entire Qin army was very excited about it.

"Prefect, the morale of our army is booming now, but Liu Xiujun's morale has plummeted. This is the best time to attack the city." Wen Pin said.

Yue Fei nodded when he heard the words, then held up the Liquan Zhanlong Spear again, and shouted: "Prepare to attack the city."

Immediately after Yue Fei gave the order, fifty catapults and twenty well rails were slowly pushed out from behind the Qin army's formation, and Yue Fei's original siege formation was quickly completed.

Liu Xiu, who returned to the tower, saw that the Qin army's morale was like a rainbow, and that they were ready to attack the city so soon, and their face turned extremely ugly.

"I didn't expect to fall into Yue Fei's scheme in the end. I shouldn't have fought with Yue Fei. In the end, General Wei Yan was sacrificed..."

The matter has come to this point, even if Liu Xiu is regretting, it will be of no avail, she can only use her best to make up for it, and resist Yue Fei's first wave of offensive.

Yue Fei adopted the siege strategy of encircling three walls and missing one, so that it would not arouse the defenders in the city to fight to the death. However, although Yue Fei surrounded three walls, he chose to concentrate his forces to attack the north gate. Casualties were minimized.

"All troops attack."

After Yue Fei gave the final command to attack, the thirty catapults launched flying stones and slammed them hard at Jiangling City. Cover the siege party attacking the city below.

The siege team under the city charged with sandbags and shields against the rain of arrows. When they reached the corner of the city, they immediately threw the sandbags into the moat, and then fled back to the main formation.

Hearing the screams coming from everywhere, Liu Xiu didn't even frown. He fought many tough battles during his conquest of Jingnan, but none of them was as large as the current scene .

"Jingnan is still too peaceful, and the overall strength of the Central Plains is too big." Liu Xiu sighed inwardly.

The largest battle in Liu Xiu's memory was when the coalition forces attacked Hulao Pass. At that time, there were more than a hundred catapults that surpassed the siege. One wave of catapults was a thousand stones. The scene was like Shura's hell.

Compared with the heroes who fought against Dong in the past, Liu Xiu's conquest of Jingnan, and even Yue Fei's attack on Jiangling are just small scenes.

"Concentrate all our catapults at the north gate, we can't just let Yue Fei hit us with catapults."

"promise."

Soon, Liu Xiujun's catapults from the other three gates gathered at Baimen. A total of twenty catapults smashed against Qin Jun's catapults.

Liu Xiujun's catapults are far behind those of the Qin Army in terms of the total load capacity and the throwing distance, but they can still make up for the lack of performance when erected on the top of the city tower.

The one-day siege battle soon ended. Under the personal command of Yue Fei, the Qin army took advantage of its high morale, but still paid 500 casualties. This shows the tragic siege battle
As for Liu Xiujun, since he was on the side defending the city, the casualties were naturally relatively small. He only suffered nearly [-] casualties, but the moat was filled by a quarter of the Qin army.

In other words, if the Qin army continued to defend the city at the same intensity as it is today, the moat of Jiangling would be completely filled in three days, and the battle to defend the city would be even more tragic.

Liu Xiu was worried about this, and Yue Fei was also worried.

After only one day of siege, Yue Fei discovered that after Liu Xiu came back, the resilience of the Jingzhou army was several times stronger than before. Thousands of troops, in the end, the gain outweighs the loss!

Yue Fei is a general who cares about his soldiers. The first principle of marching and fighting is to achieve the greatest results with the least casualties.

In the previous battle with the Jingzhou Army, Yue Fei would rather spend more time and minimize the casualties. However, in the previous battle to attack Nanjun, Yue Fei's [-] troops suffered nearly [-] casualties, but he won the victory. The enemy's [-] battle results reduced the Jingzhou Army in Jiangling by two-thirds.

However, it was precisely because Yue Fei was sympathetic to the soldiers that he was delayed until he was about to capture Jiangling, but he was transferred back by Jia Xu's order, so that all the casualties he paid were in vain.

Of course, the soldiers damaged in battle were quickly replenished from the reserves and prisoners of war, and the wounded soldiers were also sent to the wounded barracks for treatment, so Yue Fei dispatched another [-] troops to attack Jiangling this time.

Although he suffered the loss of being sympathetic to the soldiers once, Yue Fei was still not prepared to attack the city without casualties, but the necessary casualties are still inevitable.

Yue Fei first attacked Jiangling City with the most violent attack for four days. After the moat was filled up, Yue Fei changed the strong attack to a clever attack.

Skillful attack is a skillful siege. This method of siege not only kills the enemy, but also reduces casualties, but it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive. In a few months or even half a year, Yue Fei may not be able to take down Jiangling. up.

--------

Hetao, Yinchuan County.

[Ding Dong, Yue Fei led the army to attack Nanjun twice. The first time he killed 270 enemies and captured 5080 prisoners. The second time he killed [-] enemies and captured [-] prisoners. The total casualties were [-]. After deducting the battle damage, a total of [-] summoning points were rewarded. The host currently has a total of [-] summoning points. 】

Generals like Yue Fei and Bai Qi gave Qin Hao the most peace of mind. Every time he leads a battle, he can more or less earn summoning points, and the accumulation is not a small number.

"Unknowingly, I have accumulated [-] summoning points, which is enough to exchange for a wave of new technology."

Thinking of this, Qin Hao couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and said to himself after a while: "Forget it, let's wait until the Battle of Hetao is over."

There are two memorials on the case in front of Qin Hao, one is Yue Fei's impeachment of Jia Xu's random command, and the other is Jia Xu's request for a canonization for Zhao Kuangyin.
