Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 985 Winning Nanyang Eight

"Lieutenant Lei, make a tentative attack on Wanwan first!" Xi Zhicai said to Lei Bo: "Don't force it, just try it out. Once there are uncontrollable casualties, withdraw immediately, there is no need to fight to the death!"

"promise!"

Lei Bo stood under the hall, arched his hands, and took orders.

Now that the former lord Yuan Shu has been completely defeated, Lei Bo probably has no other way to go. He can only follow the Minghou Mansion all the way to the end, so his subjective fighting spirit is still very strong.

Even though he knew very well that Xiangyang Battalion's combat effectiveness was not very strong, but for the sake of merit and gaining a foothold in the Minghou Mansion, he still went to fight for a reason.
dong dong dong! ! ! !

A total of ten drum platforms were built on the left and right, and the ten battle drums sounded at the same time. The sound of the war drums was as loud as thunder, and one sound was stronger than the other. Wancheng is going to be submerged.

"They're attacking!"

On the top of the city, Huangfu Yin was dressed in military uniform, standing proudly, his mood seemed very complicated.

With his gaze fixed on him, he saw that there were not many soldiers and horses of the herding army outside the city. Relatively speaking, this force would definitely not be able to attack Wancheng. Bold.

"Master Taishou, is there any news from the General?"

Captain Zhou Song, wearing a battle armor and holding a spear, looked at the darkness below the city and asked in a low voice.

"no!"

When Huangfu Yin heard this, there was a trace of bitterness on his face.

He is not stupid.

At first, he might think that his news could not get out, but after more than a dozen waves of scouts rushed out, they would reach Shouchun all the way, but the main force in Guanzhong did not move at all.

This made him a little uneasy.

perhaps……

He didn't dare to think about it, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

"Master Taishou, the fighting power of the Mu army has always been strong. This is recognized by the world. I heard that their soldiers train at least once every three days, or even train every day. Such soldiers are rare in the world. Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers, discipline , or as a fighting spirit, they can be compared to me, Guan Zhongerlang, no, maybe even better than us!" Zhou Song said analytically.

"Practice once a day, with this kind of military training, isn't the Minghou Mansion afraid of resorting to military action?"

Huangfu Yin was a little unbelievable.

Most of the soldiers in the world are part-timers. When they are fighting in peacetime, they are soldiers. When they are not fighting, they are productive forces. There are very few professional soldiers. Practice every day, the food and fodder consumed is terrifying, not many people can bear it!

"Yizhou is a land of abundance, rich and extraordinary, they have enough food and fodder to support them!"

Zhou Song said: "Besides, Yizhou could raise more than 20 soldiers, but the Mu army has less than 15 soldiers and horses. Based on the evaluation of Minghou by the former general, this is a man who is ambitious and wants to train elite soldiers! "

"Another point is that the weapons of the Mu army are unparalleled in the world. Their simplest sword is basically a hundred-refined sword. No matter whether it is tough or sharp, it is far superior to the weapons of our soldiers. Many people in the world know Said that the iron smelting technology of the Minghou Mansion was known as the best at that time. We can't compare this point. In addition..."

He sighed, and said softly: "If it's just the strength of the troops in front of us, no matter how strong they are, I have Wancheng as a barrier, and they won't be able to cross this barrier. We can stay in a stalemate with them for a month or two. Excuse me, but once the Mu army chooses to increase troops, the defense line of Wancheng is too long, and our troops are too small to form a covering defense. It is easy to find a breakthrough for them. Once they only need to break through a hole, We will lose control of Wancheng!"

"All in all, this battle is very difficult!"

Finally, Zhou Song summed it up.

"I know what you said, no matter how difficult it is to fight, we have to hold on first. I, Guan Zhongerlang, don't have the habit of losing before fighting!" Huangfu Yin took a deep breath, putting aside other emotions, Concentrate and deal with the situation in front of you, appearing more calm and calm: "Everything is mainly about defending Wancheng. You are in charge of the front line, and I will take charge of the city. I will recruit as many young men as possible to assist you in defending the city."

"promise!"

Zhou Song nodded.

At this time, the shepherd army under the city had advanced to less than fifty steps, and then directly opposed the attack on the city wall.

"Archer!"

"shoot!"

"Catapults, crossbows, push them all up!"

"Bomb them!"

Under Lei Bo's personal command, the Xiangyang Battalion pushed some of the siege equipment to the bottom of the city, and then launched a long-range attack.

Bows are covered.

As for trebuchets, although their accuracy is good, there are still a lot of failures. Instead, crossbow cannons and stone bombs, these emerging siege equipment exerted a lot of force, shaking the city walls.

"Defense!"

"Watch out for avoidance!"

"Find a cover, don't force yourself, try to stay defensive!"

Zhou Song screamed hysterically at the top of the city, and all the soldiers in the Guanzhong began to enter the defensive state. Those with shields raised their shields, or they looked for shelters on the crenels of the city walls to protect their bodies.

The Xiangyang Battalion's attack lasted for nearly two hours, and was covered by long-range coverage, which cost countless arrows and stone bombs. Naturally speaking, the Guanzhong Army on the top of the city suffered a lot of casualties.

"They are so ruthless!"

"Mu Jun's equipment is too scary!"

"If we continue to attack like this, I'm afraid we won't have to use their soldiers to fight, and our city wall will be smashed!"

All the generals in Guanzhong showed a little fear, and their eyes looking down the city became a little scared.

"I didn't expect to underestimate them!"

Captain Zhou Song held the spear tightly in his hand, a pair of stern eyes flickered with a faint cold light, and the flames of anger had already appeared on his face.

Nearly a hundred casualties!

This was just the prelude to the attack, and this casualty was enough to make his heart ache for several days.

"Prepare to fight to the death!"

Zhou Song looked at Mu Jun who had already begun to press on, gritted his teeth suddenly, and said to the Junhou under his command.

"withdraw!"

But the strange thing is that when the shepherd army crossed the attack range, they suddenly retreated back, like a wave, covering them all at once, and then retreating directly.

"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

The Mu army came and went quickly, they moved in unison, and soon left the completed offensive line, out of Wancheng's sight range, and withdrew into the camp.

"What does it mean?"

Zhou Song was taken aback.

"Withdrawn?"

Huangfu Yin didn't know when he walked up from the inside of the city to the top of the city again. Looking at the emptiness outside the city, he frowned.

"His attacking style is a bit strange!"

Zhou Song thought for a while, and said to Huangfu Yin: "Master Taishou, they don't seem to have any intention of attacking from the beginning to the end. It seems that they are just testing us!"

"Test us?"

"Testing our strength, testing our morale, and even testing whether we have the intention of defending the city!" Zhou Song looked around and said, "I'm sure that the main force of the Mu army is in Wancheng, but they haven't given up their full strength for a long time. There must be a plan to attack!"

"You mean, they want to persuade them to surrender?"

"do not know!"

"No matter what, you can't relax now, you must strengthen your vigilance, and you must guard Wancheng at any time!" Huangfuyin thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Zhou Song nodded.
