Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116
Although Beigong Boyu's operation can be regarded as a mobilization operation, and some of his generals have regained their belief in continuing to fight, but at the moment Beigong Boyu still knows that it is best not to confront Xiang Yu head-on. Fighting hard, as the saying goes, one effort and then three exhaustion, he still has the basic combat thinking.

This is the time when Xiang Yu's aura is at its most ferocious, and it is really impossible to compete with him. Even if the soldiers under him recover some fighting spirit, they will still be in vain in front of Xiang Yu, so they should focus on defense and wait for the opportunity , if I can hold on for a while longer, after Xiang Yu's initial violent attack, and when the spirit of Xiang Yu's troops has diminished, it will not be too late to counterattack.

So Beigong Boyu and his soldiers formulated a series of combat plans to stick to their positions. They mentioned that they should not take the initiative to fight with Xiang Yu's main force at any time. Those who can take advantage of the terrain must stick to their superior positions. superior.

The generals under Beigong Boyu basically accepted his battle plan. After all, their lives are their own. Now who of them has the confidence to rush out to fight against the majestic Xiang Yu? What is the difference between giving away the head Well.

At this time, Xiang Yu led the army to the front of the defensive position of the defenders. At this time, Xiang Yu didn't know how to release the anger in his chest, so he scolded Beigong Boyu and his generals before the battle. When Xiang Yu scolded people, he was very imposing. If he was scolded by Xiang Yu for a while face to face, he would either be scolded so badly that he could not lift his head up, or he would be scolded so furiously.

But now, Beigong Boyu and his generals, who are hiding behind the fortifications, seem to be okay after hearing Xiang Yu's scolding. It seems that they have no temper at all, or dare not have any temper. , Skills are not as good as others and still not let others scold?

Xiang Yu scolded for a long time, but he saw that Beigong Boyu didn't respond at all, not even a single general came out to respond with a few words. Originally, Xiang Yu scolded quite happily, and his anger subsided a little, but at this time, he was angry again. I felt that these guys were hiding from me on purpose, maybe they didn't hear my scolding at all, so a brand new anger rushed to my heart, Dang even stopped scolding, but raised his horse and raised his gun, waved his army attack.

In fact, Wuwei City lacks a tall and solid city wall, but the defender still has some important terrain to rely on. One of the most important advantages lies in the geological structure and soil composition here. The fortifications on the side are all built on the top of a long downhill slope with a certain slope. The entire slope itself is not particularly steep. It stands to reason that the attacker can advance smoothly on this slope, but the real problem lies in the slope. The soil on the surface is very soft, mixed with a lot of gravel and clay.

The former will easily cause the feet to slip in dry weather, which will greatly increase the difficulty of climbing the slope. After getting wet, there will be mud pits and sinking states, making it easy for the attacker to fall into the quagmire and be unable to extricate themselves.

Although many places near Wuwei City are very dry, and there are large areas of desert in the north, sometimes there will be large-scale rainfall, and that kind of sudden heavy rain can wipe out the clay on the entire battlefield in a short period of time. Turn into a quagmire, thus becoming a nightmare for the attacker.

When Xiang Yu launched his attack today, patches of dark clouds were floating from the sky not far away. The weather here is changing very rapidly. It may have been cloudless half a day ago, but half a day later the sky is already full of clouds. The black clouds overwhelmed the city and the city was about to be destroyed. At this time, Xiang Yu obviously noticed the dark clouds floating in the sky, but he hadn't realized what these dark clouds might mean.

At the same time, the terrain of this slope is also very convenient for the defender to use some rolling stones or logs as defensive weapons to attack from top to bottom. Once those heavy rolling stones or logs have a long enough accelerated rolling distance and a certain slope, they will become It is a very powerful defensive weapon, and one can bring huge damage to the attacker.

Although the terrain at the northern bridgehead is far less dangerous than that at the southern bridgehead, when Beigong Boyu's rebels deployed their defenses with all their might, they could still make use of the terrain here to make a lot of sense. With the experience of defending terrain, he seems to have underestimated the defensive capabilities of this defensive position, so when he led the army to attack, Xiang Yu was not able to make some deployments and preparations in advance.

So in the actual offensive operation, Xiang Yu found that it was really very difficult to attack this long slope section. He himself was almost hit by a big rock rolling down from above. His skills are sharp enough, if it were someone else, he would have been smashed into meatloaf on the spot.

When those huge rolling stones roll from a distance, it is easy for people to underestimate their actual rolling speed, because it will have a process of continuous acceleration, and often the speed is not very fast when it is far away at the beginning. And when the rolling is relatively close, the speed will be very fast, and once the distance is relatively close, it will be difficult to dodge, because people often easily underestimate their size. A big rock taller than a whole person.

Of course, it's not just those big rocks that are taller than a person that can kill people. Stones that are much smaller than this are enough to smash a person in half at an extremely fast speed, or directly smash a person's head. It hit the front door at a high speed, and it was difficult for that person to survive.

When Xiang Yu kept seeing some soldiers around him being smashed to pieces by these large or small rolling stones, he realized how terrible these rolling stones were, and how lucky he was just now, so Xiang Yu In desperation, he could only temporarily choose to withdraw from the army.

Xiang Yu's troops could only retreat to the vicinity of the bridgehead to garrison. It was already past noon, and the winter sun opened a space in the middle of a dark cloud, and the radiation could still bring a certain temperature.

The soldiers were lighting fires and cooking on the spot, but Xiang Yu didn't have any appetite. This long slope didn't look very long or steep, but it was very difficult to climb during the attack. It is difficult to truly understand it from the sidelines. Only when you stand on it and feel the huge load brought by the gravity of the earth, you will understand that it takes great strength and willpower to overcome this difficulty. of.

Xiang Yu is thinking about whether there is a better way to defeat the enemy.
