Chapter 1459: Yue Fei Attacks Jiangling City Three Times

The 28 generals of Yuntai, the number one ranked Deng Yu, is naturally not that simple. His strategy against Yue Fei is not complicated, it is basically a conspiracy, but it is precisely because of this that it is more difficult to crack.

Faced with Deng Yu's endless traps, which were impossible to guard against, Yue Fei had no choice but to slow down his marching speed and fight steadily in order to minimize casualties.

Facing Yue Fei who was fighting steadily and seeking stability all the way, the traps set by Deng Yu naturally had no effect, and he could only watch helplessly as Yue Fei destroyed all the traps and finally entered Jiangling City.

The distance from Xiangyang to Jiangling was only 20 miles, but Yue Fei walked for [-] days and paid [-] casualties before finally arriving at the city of Jiangling.

After arriving in Jiangling, Yue Fei was not in a hurry to attack the city, but cut out all the traps outside the city step by step, and then divided his troops to capture the surrounding counties.

Ten days later, the entire counties around Jiangling were captured, and Jiangling City was completely isolated. Only then did Yue Fei officially start attacking Jiangling City.

Yue Fei first sent his generals to call for battle. Deng Yu knew very well that Yue Fei and his subordinates were powerful, and he didn't have any generals who could win for sure, so naturally he didn't dare to send generals out of the city to fight.

Yue Fei saw that Deng Yu was determined not to fight no matter how he shouted, and he was not disappointed in his heart, so he recalled the generals and immediately prepared to attack.

Jiangling City has been completely built into a fortress by Liu Xiu. Now not only the city wall has been raised a lot, but the defense facilities have also doubled. The difficulty of breaking through has more than doubled than before.

Facing Jiangling City, which had almost no flaws in its defensive layout, Yue Fei was still full of confidence.

This time, in order to capture Jiangling City, Yue Fei made extremely adequate preparations. He brought 50 catapults alone, [-] wells, [-] rockets, and [-] fuel tanks.

In addition, the Qin army in Jingzhou is even more elite. In addition to Yue Fei, the lineup of generals also includes Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, Wenpin, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Su Can, Yue Yun and so on.

The reason why Yue Fei launched such a big battle was to completely capture Jiangling City. After all, he had attacked twice before, and each time he was almost able to break through the city, but he always failed because of some non-war reasons. This time Yue Fei vowed to be ashamed.

Jiangling City is undoubtedly a fortified city, and there are still nearly [-] defenders in the city. If Yue Fei wants to break it with the lowest casualties, he must make a clear plan in advance, and the first step is to fill up the moat.

Yue Fei used the method of enclosing three and missing one, enclosing the three gates in the east, west and north, leaving only the south gate to give the defenders in the city a retreat and give them hope of survival, so as to prevent the defenders in the city from sticking to it.

After that, Yue Fei quickly built three earth slopes outside the three gates in the east, west, north, and placed catapults on them to increase the range of the catapults, and then used the catapults to throw sandbags to fill up the moat.

Deng Yu saw that Yue Fei had come up with this method, and the range of the Qin army's catapults was so much farther than that of the Chu army. Although Deng Yu had the idea of ​​leading the army out of the city to destroy the catapults, he also knew that Yue Fei would definitely deploy heavy troops. Protecting the catapult and going out of the city is tantamount to taking the initiative to send it to your door.

Under the circumstances that the military strength is not superior, and the equipment and training are not as good, once you leave the city, you will definitely lose. Only by defending the city can you delay the time as much as possible.

With this in mind, Deng Yu could only give up this unrealistic idea, and watched Jiangling's moat being filled up bit by bit.

The Qin army had a total of [-] catapults, which could shoot [-] times a day. Each time they threw a bag of sandbags, they could throw a total of [-] bags of sandbags a day.

Once a catapult fails, Qin Jun will replace the damaged parts and continue to project.

Under the bombardment of [-] sandbags every day, nothing happened to the city walls of Jiangling City, but the whole city was covered with a heavy cloud of dust, which caused many people to suffer from respiratory diseases.

After ten days in a row, 30 bags of sandbags were bombarded continuously, and the moat outside Jiangling City was finally completely filled.

A city with a moat is a big city, and if the moat of an ordinary big city is filled up, it will be more than enough to use 30 bags of sandbags, but Yue Fei used a full [-] bags of sandbags in Jiangling City.

It can be seen from this that Deng Yu worked hard to defend Jiangling and how wide and deep the moat in Jiangling City was dug.

The moat was filled, and the next step was the most bloody and the most deadly siege.

Yue Fei only feigned attack on the other two gates, instead he concentrated his forces and took the most violent attack on the north gate.

Under the cover of [-] throwing stones and [-] well rails, Yue Fei personally commanded [-] elite troops, together with Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun and others, to storm the north gate of Jiangling.

[Ding dong, Yue Fei's skill 'Wu Mu' is activated, commander +3 when fighting against foreign races, commander +1 when fighting against the same race, Yue Fei's basic commander is 100, and the current commander rises to 101;]

Yue Fei, commander of 101, personally beat the drums and commanded the army to attack the north gate of Jiangling, which naturally boosted the morale of the Qin army. In addition, Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun and other generals also joined in, overwhelming the defenders for a while.

Deng Yu saw that the Qin army's offensive was so fierce on the first day that even Yue Fei was dispatched in person. In desperation, Deng Yu had no choice but to lead the generals to sit at the north gate and command the defense of the city.

[Ding dong, Deng Yu's skill 'Bronze Wall' is activated.

Copper Wall: The exclusive skill of defending the city, when personally commanding the defense of the city, the commander +2, and the morale of the whole army rises;]

[Deng Yu: Commander 96, Force 80, Intelligence 95, Politics 98, Charm 93
Deng Yu's basic commander is 96, the skill 'Bronze Wall' activates the commander +2, the current commander rises to 98, and the morale of the Chu army rises;]

Facing Yue Fei, whose commander-in-chief rose to 101, Deng Yu had to sit at the north gate to defend the city himself. Only in this way can Jiangling not be breached;
However, under Deng Yu's personal command and the desperate resistance of Liu Long, Wang Liang and other Yuntai generals, Yue Fei's onslaught was finally blocked.

Yue Fei was not surprised by this at all. If he could break the city in one day, he would not have failed in the previous two attempts.

Afterwards, Yue Fei still personally commanded the storming of the North Gate, and during the five consecutive days of super-intensive onslaught, both the attackers and the defenders were tense and extremely exhausted.

In just five days of siege, the Qin army lost [-] soldiers, while the Chu army on the defensive side suffered no fewer casualties than the Qin army, and more than [-] soldiers were killed.

According to common sense, the casualties of the attacking side should be at least double that of the defending side, which is a more reasonable situation.

However, the siege battle under Yue Fei's personal command achieved a casualty ratio close to one to one, which is somewhat unreasonable.

The reason why he was able to get close to one to one casualties, apart from Yue Fei's extremely adequate preparations before the battle, and the participation of many generals of the Qin army, the most important point is that Yue Fei has already figured out Jiangling's defenses.
