Chapter 725 Encirclement on Three Sides
General Lu's camp.

Su Chen met Lu Chaoqun and his generals in the account.

"There are no outsiders here, so we will call you General Su."

"Haha, yes." Su Chen smiled and nodded.

At present, they still use aliases to paralyze the Wuyue army, and they don't pay attention to the Heiyundu West Route Army at all, so they continue to fall into the trap.If Song Chengli, Sun Chengyou and others knew that Su Chen was the leader of the West Route Army, they would definitely not dare to pursue him rashly.

The shadow of a tree and the name of a person have to be guarded against.

Lu Chaoqun looked at Su Chen, and couldn't help admiring: "General Su first ambushed and killed Sun Chengyou's army, then seized Wuzhou City, and now he defeated Song Chengli's army under the Yuezhou City. It's really a clever plan, using soldiers like a god!"

Naturally, Su Chen also had to be polite: "General Lu won the award. I was just opportunistic. I can't use it frequently, but occasionally it is useful. General Lu successively attacked cities and villages. He became famous in one battle and established the foundation of the National Restoration Army. The foundation is more admirable."

"Haha, General Su is too modest." Lu Chaoqun saw that Su Chen was not arrogant at all, and he appreciated it even more in his heart. With the assistance of such talents, the National Restoration Army will surely achieve great things.

Gao Fuquan, Wang Yuanbo and other generals are also aware of Su Chen's two victories at this time, and they all admire them.

After all, Qi Ying and Wei Dongqiang had already been defeated by Sun Chengyou at that time, and there were only more than 1 defeated generals left, who could no longer withstand Wu Yue's army. Fortunately, Su Chen arrived and defeated Wu Yue's Sun Chengyou's army.

"Next, General Su thinks, how should we take Yuezhou City?"

Su Chen said: "The main force of Wuyue, withdrew from Jinling and Runzhou, was only 6 or [-] horses. They were led by Sun Chengyou and Song Chengli, and now they have been wiped out one after another. The Wuyue court will no longer have elite soldiers to rescue Yuezhou city. , we only need to attack the city on three sides, let go of a city gate, give the people and soldiers in the city a chance to escape, and then set up an ambush outside, and the people don't stop them. If it is a large-scale deserter, you can take the opportunity to capture it. Open the net."

Lu Chaoqun nodded after hearing the words, and said: "General Su's analysis is very reasonable, then we will implement it according to this strategy. Tomorrow, my Lu family army will be in charge of attacking the south gate, and General Su will lead troops to attack the east gate. Generals Qi Ying and Wei Dongqiang Lead troops to attack the west gate, and leave the north gate to not attack. Let Lu Zheng lead an army to ambush in the forest five miles away. If there are large-scale deserters fleeing from where, then intercept them. If it is the people fleeing, ignore it. "

"Yes!" Qi Ying, Wei Dongqiang, Lu Zheng and others all clasped their fists in salute, accepting General Lu's order.

At this moment, Lu Chaoqun regarded himself as the main general, giving orders on his behalf.

Su Chen did not compete with him for power. At this time, it is meaningless to fight back and forth. In the end, the key is to capture Yuezhou, then capture Hangzhou, and welcome Yang Wu Lord Yang Ling'er, Han Xizai and other ministers.

Restoring the country is the top priority, as for the others, they are not important.

All the generals had a banquet at the Lu family's camp, and then Su Chen and the others withdrew from the camp and returned to their respective camps.

At present, outside Yuezhou City, military camps have been set up on the east, west, and south sides, and Wuyue City has been surrounded in groups, and they have made a posture of storming.

At the same time, some signs were placed at the north gate to guide the soldiers and civilians in the city, and they could leave here without harming civilians.

After such arrangements were made, the siege began the next day.

Surrounded on three sides, the army lined up and began to attack the city.

The heavy trombone and the shocking drum sounded at this moment, and for a while, the drummers, horn players, and flag bearers of the army all moved.

The order was ordered, and the formation of the whole army began to change. The archers and crossbowmen on both sides stood in the front row, full of bowstrings, just waiting to shoot.

The ordinary bows and arrows used in ancient wars generally range from 150 steps to [-] steps. The bow body is two meters long. It is bent and baked with yew wood or ash wood. Shoot at an angle from above, and wait for the arrows to fall naturally. Because the front is protected by shields, it is difficult to avoid the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

Such ordinary archers basically have a quiver for each person, and there are twelve arrow feathers in each pot. If it is a field battle, after three or four rounds of salvos in general battles, the opponent's chariots and cavalry have already rushed to the front. There will be situations where the arrows will run out.

But defending the city is different. The archers at the top of the city can shoot arrows continuously, and the archers below the city will also continue to suppress them, so the bows and arrows are like rain, and they will continue to shoot at each other.

"Siege!"

"Fire arrows!"

The siege has begun, and the arrows are raining.

Whoosh whoosh!
The black rain of arrows covered the sky and poured out.

The arrows from the top of the city shot down at the soldiers and horses, and the archers of Heiyundu began to fight back, shooting towards the top of the city.

The long-range attacks of the two sides took the lead in confrontation.

The siege soldiers pushed the chariots, rushed the chariots, protected them with shields, and attacked the city fiercely with ladders.

There are also many artillery vehicles, using whirlwind cannons, throwing fire oil tanks, boulders, etc., to attack the defenders at the top of the city.

This scene was huge and cruel, with corpses falling one after another, and casualties continued to appear on the top of the city.

However, the military order was like a mountain, and the soldiers attacked the city like a tide, and the Wuyue soldiers at the top of the city were also resisting bravely.

In this way, they fought for three days, posing a great threat to Yuezhou City.

The general of Yuezhou City was named Li Kuo, and when he saw the situation was not good, he was thinking of retreating.

Although some counselors proposed to stick to the city and fight fiercely with Heiyundu's thieves, but because of the siege on three sides and the opening of the net, some soldiers did not want to live and die with the city like this.

Some people even planned to flee from the north.

After hesitating, Li Kuo said, "Let a group of people out of the city first, test the situation, see if there is an ambush, and see how the character of Heiyundu is, and whether it means what it says!"

Under the orders of Marquis Du Yu, he opened the city at night and released the first wave of thousands of people out of the city. They fled in panic through the north gate of the city. However, they escaped smoothly without encountering an ambush.

With the first batch, there will be the second batch. The next day, many people shouted to go out of the city and leave Yuezhou, because the people were worried that the bandits would end up killing red eyes and entering the city to burn and kill them, and they were also worried that they would defend the city until the end. Strong men will be selected to defend the city, so if you don't want to be cannon fodder, you have to flee.

Among the people, there were also some deserters, and they fled with the people, but they were not ambushed.

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 when they defended in the next few days, and they almost broke through the top of the city several times.

Seeing this, Li Kuo felt that the situation could not be violated, so he ordered a troop to leave Yuezhou overnight and go back to Hangzhou City.

However, in the middle of the night, when Li Kuo fled with his troops, he was blocked by Lu Zheng's troops. He was immediately defeated and fled in all directions. Even Li Kuo, the guard, was captured.

The sky was bright, when Lu Chaoqun, Su Chen and others heard the news, they sent troops to attack the city. This time it went smoothly, and they captured Yuezhou City.
