Humane Yongchang

Chapter 351
Xu on the hour.

The sun had set, and there was still a shimmer of light on the horizon.

Ji Bu roared and swung his sword forward, announcing that the siege battle tonight had begun!

Forty-five thousand troops, under the command of Ji Bu, attacked the south, east and north cities of Daliang at the same time with the orthodox method of encircling the three towers.

It is different from the shallow taste of tentative warfare in the daytime.

In the battle after nightfall, Ji Bu took the stance of breaking the city in one battle!

While stabilizing his position, he constantly adjusted the priority of the three-way offensive, fighting for morale and tenacity with the defenders above the city.

On the one hand, a large number of siege equipment that did not appear in the daytime were sacrificed, which offset some of the benefits of the city and reversed the unfavorable conditions of the battle.

Such as zip lines, ladders, arrow towers, chariots, rushing vehicles, catapults...

The red-clothed army who really played the flower work, the scumbags made the soldiers of the Luoyi Imperial Army who were guarding the city couldn't believe it. They were in a hurry and exhausted.
The Red Clothes Army is known in the world for its sports and field battles, so much that many troops who fought against the Red Clothes Army have forgotten that the most famous one in Chen County, in addition to the Red Clothes Army, also has a Jixia Academy!
As an emerging force, Hanting is at the most vigorous time of vitality, and the speed of development and innovation is astonishingly fast!
Every month, new equipment will be sent to the Red Army to test its practicability, and new combat equipment will be installed every six months...

As far as Chen Sheng knew, the well-fed master craftsmen in Plum Blossom Villa had begun to ponder steam engines after they had perfected the earth blast furnace!
Chen Sheng didn't bother to take care of the group of stubborn donkeys. Until he found a substance that could replace rubber as a seal, he couldn't do anything about it himself, let alone the group of civilians. Anyway, the group of stubborn donkeys hit the wall enough, so naturally I knew the other wall was hitting.

Back to the point.

The appearance of numerous siege machines not only beat the guards of the Imperial Army in a hurry and exhausted their lives.

Wang Li, who was commanding and defending the city, was also battered, fighting fires everywhere. The reserve team that was originally reserved for the army had to go into the battlefield in advance to repair the gaps in the city walls.

And Wang Ben, who was sitting in the camp, looked at the unfavorable battle reports that all the city walls flew into the handsome tent like snowflakes, but felt a little puzzled in his heart, and secretly said, 'What kind of battle is this eldest nephew fighting? '

After all, his Wang family is also a family of generals, and it is naturally impossible for him to know everything about such a bad way of playing around the three-queue one.

The essence of the strategy of encircling the three ques and one battle, of course, is in the word "que", which is a clever psychological tactic from the real to the virtual, forcing the defending army to abandon the city and flee.

But in actual operation, the focus is on the word "surrounding"!
How to "surround", very said!

Since you use "encirclement" to convey pressure to the defenders in the city and force them to abandon the city and flee, then you must at least transmit the pressure to the city, right?
How can the pressure be conveyed to the defending enemy troops?
Of course that's an advantage!
Offensive superiority, military superiority, and more!
In short, it is a purpose. You have to let the defenders of the city feel: "I'm so stupid, this city will not be able to defend, you have to leave quickly if you don't want to die..."

Therefore, how to "encircle" the method of encircling three towers and one battle is very important!
Generally speaking, it is a feint attack from one or two routes, creating an opportunity for the other route or two routes to gather heavy troops to break through the defense line at the front of the city, and through frequent climbs to the city, to put pressure on the defending enemy troops.

It's not that there are no three-way feint attacks, and the main force is not seen without the rabbits and the eagles, but those are all tricks that can only be played by veteran generals with excellent skills. People's morale collapsed.

As for the kind of general who will be surrounded by three towers and one battle method, the generals will be divided into three equal parts and attack three city gates at the same time, then there is no need to have the slightest doubt, he must just pretend to understand big idiot!
You must know that the defenders of the city have the advantages of defending the city, such as the benefits of the city, being condescending, waiting for work, etc.,

However, the siege side actually has the advantages of the siege side, that is, initiative and mobility, especially when attacking a city with open sides such as Daliang, the siege army is completely free to choose to assemble heavy troops to attack a city gate, in order to break the surface ... The operation is not difficult, just need the blessing of the night and a few feinted troops to cover it, and that's it!
Thinking about it, the defenders of the city, without knowing which gate the enemy would focus on storming, scattered the defenders on the four walls to wait in a serious line, but the enemy gathered [-]% of the heavy troops and attacked from one wall.

Isn't this advantage big enough?

Abandoning such a big advantage, dividing the army into three roads and attacking three gates at the same time, abruptly attacking the city and attacking the defending generals, what is not a big idiot?
If it weren't for the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Luoyi Imperial Army was too different from that of the Red Clothes Army, he would now gather superior troops and go out of the city.

So, here comes the question...

Is Chen Sheng an idiot?

Obviously not, if he is an idiot, then ninety percent of the world is an idiot.

But he just turned the siege into such a foolish way...

Wang Ben has been stationed at the Great Wall for more than [-] years, and he has rich experience in defending the city.

He only needs to listen to the strength of the shouting and killing in three directions, and he can judge the situation of the enemy and us.

Combined with the battle reports returned by the three city walls...

He can assert that regardless of the fact that the Red Army is fighting fiercely now, it will retreat even more fiercely later!
Not to mention any siege equipment that is not siege equipment, no matter how good the equipment is, people still have to use it!

No one can get in, and no matter how sharp the equipment is, it is just a decoration.

This made him a little unable to understand Chen Sheng's intentions.

You can't stay up late at night for so long, or to test their combat effectiveness?

That doesn't look like Chen Sheng's style...

Wang Ben thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt!

……

Just when Wang Ben was thinking about it in every possible way.

Hundreds of rangers in leather armor and black scarves, clutching bright swords, shuttled around the alleys and rooftops as sensitive as apes.

From all directions, they converge to the west gate.

"Brother, brother!"

A burst of low voices penetrated Zhang Er's ears.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Yu, who had a long bow on his back and a knife around his waist and crotch, catching up.

"When do I have to say it now?"

He asked impatiently in a low voice.

Hearing the difference in his tone, Chen Yu frowned unhappily in his heart, but still clasped his fists and said, "Brother, little brother, please order first, and please let me grow up!"

Zhang Er looked at him up and down a few times, feeling a little reluctant in his heart, but he couldn't refute his face, so he nodded and said, "My virtuous brother is willing to work hard and be the first to ascend, and I can't ask for it for my brother!"
