Shuhan

Half an hour came in a hurry.

After simply building the siege equipment, Tian Yu urged the auxiliary troops to attack the city.

One by one, the auxiliary soldiers, determined to die, rushed toward Puban City in grief.

Puban City is also a fortified city. Although it does not have the Wengcheng moat like Fengling City, it is obviously not an easy task to capture it.

The soldiers of the Wei army carried heavy ladders and rushed towards Puban City.

"Come on~"

"Kill!"

"Destroy Puban City and plunder the city for three days!"

They shouted, the sound of footsteps was deafening, and in the flying dust, a decisive momentum emerged spontaneously.

The ladder was heavily placed on the tall city wall of Puban City, as if it was a bridge leading to victory.

Xiang Chong indeed led most of the Han troops to burn the grain and grass in Jie County, but there were still three thousand Han troops in the city, and there were still some defensive equipment in the city. How could he just sit back and watch the city be lost?

Finally, after suffering huge casualties, the Wei army had to retreat.

"hateful!"

Lieutenant General Xiang Chong, who was born in the Jiangwu Hall, immediately stabilized the situation in the city and arranged defense in an orderly manner.

"We can't go on like this. We must besiege the city and wait for the governor's infantry to arrive before attacking the city. The rest will search for the people and the Han army will lower their troops to consume the defensive equipment in Puban City."

This siege battle lasted for a long time. From the scorching sun in the sky to the fall of the Golden Crow, the Wei army was still unable to board Puban City.

Although the Wei soldiers were brave, they were unable to scale the city wall due to the stubborn defense of the Han army.

I don’t know how much this knowledge about city defense has been taught in the Martial Arts Hall.

Whoosh whoosh~
Boom boom boom!
On the city wall, the figures of the Han army soldiers were looming in the light of arrows and the shadows of stones. They threw them hard, and every attack put great pressure on the Wei army.

When he used it, he was even more familiar with it.

"Reinforcements will arrive soon, you just have to defend the city!"

Their figures gradually faded away in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving behind a messy battlefield and the corpses of countless Wei soldiers.

"It hurts me too!"

However, the Han army's defense was too tight. They relied on the solidity of the city walls and clever tactics to successfully repel every attack by the Wei army.

"Ya Zhudie~"

'Ahhh~'

Unable to make a strong attack, Tian Yu's heart suddenly became heavy.

The battlefield was filled with smoke and flames of war. Although the Wei army suffered heavy losses, they did not give up and continued to rush towards the city wall.

However, the Han troops on the city were well prepared. They held their weapons tightly, their eyes were firm, and they showed no fear at all.

Some Wei soldiers were shot by arrows while climbing, while others were hit by rolling logs and stones, causing screams one after another.

When the Wei soldiers began to climb the ladder, the Han army counterattacked with a dense rain of arrows and rolling logs and rocks.

The people under him were Hun cavalry. Although he had prestige among these Huns, he kept asking them to die. These Huns may not be willing to listen to him in the future.

Now it's time to start controlling casualties.

"General, you might as well use my Huns' method, maybe you can capture Puban City."

"The Huns' method?"

Tian Yu looked at his Huns lieutenant and raised his eyebrows.

"tell me the story."

This Huns lieutenant general is the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu, and is now Liu Bao, the wise king of the left side of the Xiongnu tribe.

of course.

No matter how noble their status is, after the Xiongnu were defeated by the Han, they were nothing more than dogs of the Han. King Zuoxian?
At most, it's just a dog with a noble bloodline.

A bit better than a native dog, probably like a husky.

Liu Bao organized his thoughts and said immediately:
"We are waiting for General Xiang to assist General Du Liao and break through the Pubanjin camp. We massacre the soldiers and civilians in the camp and build a capital to scare the Han army in Puban City. Then we recruit the people of Jiexian County to attack the city. No matter old or young, they have to dig trenches, and then return to the city. We must build earthen forts and exchange the flesh and blood of the people for the bows and arrows of the Han people.

If the soldiers defending the city cannot bear to kill these compatriots, we will soon be able to attack them with the help of various siege buildings. If they are shot and killed, the psychological defense of the soldiers defending the city will also collapse. "

After a pause, Liu Bao continued: "If the sergeants in Puban City do not surrender and still resist, they will set up pots outside the city, burn corpses in oil and then throw them into the city to weaken the fighting spirit of the Han troops in the city and make them feel scared. ”

They are indeed barbarians!
Tian Yu snorted in his heart and was very disdainful of Liu Bao's method.

But there was no sign of disdain on the surface, and he just said: "The people of Jie County are my subjects of the Wei Dynasty, how can they be used as prisoners of the Han army? If I really do this, I will definitely be impeached by Yushitai, no way!"

Barbarians don't have to follow moral etiquette, but as a Han Chinese, they naturally have to follow some rules.

If you do something like this that breaks the bottom line, your life may be shortened and you may not end up well.

"There is no need to do all these bells and whistles. Just besiege the city. Wait for Xiang Chong to return reinforcements, or when the Han reinforcements arrive, encircle the point for reinforcements. Seeing the defeat of the reinforcements, the morale of the Han troops in the city will definitely be low!"

After consuming the effective strength of the Han army, when the follow-up Wei army's support arrives, Puban City will naturally be in their hands.

Before, the Wei army had been leading the Han army out of the city to fight, but the Han army just wouldn't come to fight. Now it's better.

Puban City is under siege and is in danger of being captured. At this critical moment, will you come to support?

Without support, Puban City would be destroyed by the Wei State, and the Wei State would have the possibility of attacking Guanzhong from Pubanjin.

Want to come for support?

Hey!

I, the cavalry, are waiting for your support!
Field battle?

That is the world of my cavalry!
"I'm afraid the Grand Governor has thought about this a long time ago. It seems that the Grand Governor is not without merit."

Sima Yi still has some abilities.

Tian Yu's impression of Sima Yi became much better.

But it was not to the extent that he, Tian Yu, was impressed.

If you want to convince Tian Yu, you have to defeat the Han army this time!
"But it was right for the commander of the left army to rush to the aid of General Du Liao and capture the Pubanjin camp."

Puban City is a strong city, but Pubanjin is not a strong city. It is quite simple to capture this place.

Tian Yu was just about to mobilize troops to support him, but Yan Rou had already arrived with elite troops.

Needless to say, the Pubanjin Han military camp was destroyed by him.

"The Pubanjin Han army camp has been destroyed by me. What's wrong? General Tian hasn't captured the city yet?"

Tian Yu didn't take it seriously and said: "Puzaka City is strong and requires infantry to attack it. Without siege equipment, it will cost too many lives."

Yan Rou nodded in agreement.

When he went to attack the Pubanjin Han Army Camp, he also lost nearly a thousand skilled soldiers. The loss was not small.

If Puban City were to be captured, this loss would probably be doubled several times.

"Integrate the prisoners from the Han army camp in Pubanjin and let them attack the city. We will wait outside the city for the reinforcements of the Han army to arrive and wait for work!"

A cavalry siege has advantages over an infantry siege.

Because the cavalry is very mobile, it only needs to have an army equivalent to that in the city, or in other words, it can surround a city without even half of the army in the city.

The cavalry is very mobile. It can defend one point or 10 points. As long as it is fast enough, it can cover all aspects, so it can besieged a city.

If the opponent's army is large, it will easily consume all the food in the city. If the army is small, it will not be enough to break through and will be able to surround the opponent alive.

If the people in the city come out to fight, it will suit the cavalry's wishes, and they can be defeated in just a few rounds of charge.

Tian Yu is well aware of the advantages of cavalry, and now he needs to take full advantage of the cavalry! (End of chapter)
