Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 176 you come and I go
In January, the Yellow Turban Army has been attacking for a full month now.

In the first few days, because of the blockage of the moat, although the Yellow Turban still had a way to cross the river, only part of the siege equipment could be used. Relying on the ladder as a temporary method of crossing the river could not bear the weight of those large siege equipment. .

But no matter how wide or deep the moat is, it will be filled one day.When the Yellow Turban Army filled up the moat, the large siege equipment of the Yellow Turban Army, such as Jinglan, really worked, and the Yellow Turban Army really started the offensive.

It was from then on that the pressure on the Han army really began to increase.

Unlike the previous battle where you fought to the death and the city was attacked and defended with corpses strewn all over the field, the scene under Chen Liu now has a sudden change in painting style, and the two sides actually put together a reserve of weapons.

During this month, the sky was filled with arrows and flying stones all the time.The bed crossbows of the Han army on the city wall, the well rails of the catapults and the yellow scarves, and the two sides of the catapults started a wild bombardment, refusing to give in to each other.

With the vision of Chi You as a commander, he naturally understood the difficulty of taking down Chen Liu, so he naturally would not forcefully attack Chen Liu.

Therefore, after the moat was completely filled, instead of attacking fiercely like before, Chi You began to fight steadily and steadily.

These days, Chi You has been bombarding the Han army in Chen Liucheng with the advantage of siege equipment.Although the Han army is condescending and the long-range troops have a longer range, they cannot resist the suppression of the number of Yellow Turbans and the number of equipment.

Although Chen Liucheng had spent a lot of effort to repair it before, under the continuous bombardment of the Yellow Turban for such a long time, there were many damages.

Ancient times are different from modern times. There is no cement in ancient times.In ancient China, the city walls were basically made of soil, which was compacted and compacted with rammed earth. The local loess or black soil was used to ram it tightly, layer by layer, and each layer was hit to [-] centimeters. thickness of.

Although the rammed earth city wall is extremely strong under the wisdom of the ancients, it is still difficult to withstand the continuous bombing of the catapults.

Whenever there is a break in the city wall, it is when the two sides really start a bloody battle.Yellow Turban hopes to take this opportunity to expand its advantages, and even take down this annoying city in one fell swoop if possible.On the other hand, the Han army firmly resisted the pressure and tried its best to repair the city wall to prevent a gap from being really opened by the Yellow Turban.

Fortunately, although the scene was once extremely thrilling, Li Xiang still resisted the pressure and took effective measures in time, which kept Chen Liu behind until now.

And during this period of time, it took a lot of tricks for Chi You to defeat Chen Liu.Although on the surface, they are fighting steadily and steadily, relying on the continuous bombing of large siege equipment, but Chi You's secret methods emerge in endlessly.

After a long and difficult battle, Chi You first resorted to the strategy of exhausting troops.Chi You ordered people to carry the ladder every hour to pretend to attack Wancheng, waving the flag and shouting.When the Han army cheered up and started to defend, the Yellow Turbans called for gold to withdraw their troops. This happened every night, which made Chenliu's Han army restless.

The biggest advantage of the strategy of exhausting soldiers is that one's own side can wait for work at ease. It only needs to send a small number of soldiers to harass the enemy, which can achieve the effect of confusing the enemy and making the enemy relax their vigilance.

In history, there are also many examples of exhausted tactics, and significant results have been achieved.

In the battle of Guiling and Maling, Sun Bin adopted the tactics of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", thus achieving the purpose of mobilizing the enemy, forcing the Wei army to run back and forth, and finally achieved the effect of waiting for work with ease, thus defeating the enemy in one fell swoop. It has the performance of exhaustion.

And Wang Jian's battle to destroy Chu should also be a typical exhausted strategy.

Facing Wang Jian's 60 Qin army, it is impossible for any Chu people to eat and sleep soundly. Chu officers and soldiers, including Xiang Yan, hope to start the main decisive battle as soon as possible.

However, Wang Jian did not move for a year, which not only reduced the spirit of the Chu army, but also made the Chu army restless and depressed for a year.Moreover, during this period, Wang Jian continued to send small groups of troops to harass the Chu army, exhausting the Chu army.Under Wang Jian's constant tossing, the Chu army was at the end of its strength and no longer had the strength it used to be.

There are many kinds of strategies to exhaust soldiers, the one used by Chi You is the most common and simplest one, but it is also the most practical one.

To be honest, the strategy of exhausting troops is really a very good strategy. Using a small force to harass the enemy at any time, at any time, regardless of the day, is intended to make the enemy tired and reduce the enemy's momentum and energy.

If you ignore the enemy's harassment and continue to sleep or become paralyzed, then this is the best time for the enemy to attack.

And Chi You did exactly that, while constantly sending out small groups of troops to feign attacks every night, Chi You would occasionally make a real night attack, which made Li Xiang feel overwhelmed, so he had to do his best to guard against it.

After all, who knows if Chi You's next night attack will be real or not.Although it is unlikely, once Chi You came to make a real night attack and the Han army was unprepared, then the situation would be terrible.

In this regard, Li Xiang has no good solution, even if he wants to go out of the city to defeat Chi You's feigned attack troops.But firstly, Chi You was reasonably prepared, and secondly, it was just a small army, even if it was really lost, Chi You didn't feel distressed.

In desperation, Li Xiang had no choice but to divide the whole army into two groups, taking turns to rest.But Li Xiang can't place the resting place of the army too far away, otherwise, if something happens, he won't be able to provide timely support.

Therefore, although it has been weakened, Chi You's strategy of exhausting troops still has a considerable impact on the Han army in the city.

In addition to the strategy of exhausting soldiers, Chi You is really omnipotent, night attack, authentic, and he even used the Yellow Turban to steal food from the few inner camps in the city.Fortunately, the vigilance of the Han army in the city was still there, and the small movements of the Yellow Turbans were discovered in time, which did not cause any chaos.

Of course, Chi You's side kept moving, but Li Xiang would not just passively accept the moves, and a proper counterattack was still necessary.

However, although Li Xiang intends to attack at night, the Chi You camp is heavily guarded, making it difficult for Li Xiang to find opportunities for a while.

In this month, Li Xiang led his troops out of the city five times, but returned three times without success, and only twice attacked when he found a weak spot in the Yellow Turban camp.

Then, even though Li Xiang found an opportunity these two times, Chi You's reaction was quite fast, and he redeployed his troops in time.Therefore, although the two night attacks by Li Xiang were somewhat effective, the actual damage to Chi You was not that great.
