Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 137 Breaking through the North City Gate

Sun Jian has been a little depressed in the past few days. He has been trapped outside the north gate of Yunwu City for many days. He has made a lot of progress in the past few days, but he still feels that there is something wrong. The whole army is like It was a short breath, and I felt that as long as the fortress could be lifted up in this breath, the north gate of Yunwu City would definitely be broken in one fell swoop.

He also knew that Han Sui's main force and Dong Zhuo's army were fighting fiercely outside the south gate of Yunwu City. He didn't have much hope for Dong Zhuo. He is quite good at hiding his own strength. If he is kept alive for a day, it will become a big problem sooner or later. But now it seems that he has missed the best opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo. It depends on whether Han Sui can kill Dong Zhuo. If our city fails, he, Sun Jian, will also feel very good.

However, at noon today, he just received the battle report from outside the east gate of Yunwu City. Dong Zhuo actually led his army to defeat Han Sui. Both the gate and the east gate were under control. Han Sui suffered heavy losses in this battle and was forced into the central area of ​​Yunwu City. It seems that Dong Zhuofei was not defeated or killed by Han Sui, and even won a decisive victory one step ahead of himself. , compared to Dong Zhuo, at least for now it seems that Sun Jian is far behind.

Thinking of this, Sun Jian became furious, and immediately decided to dispatch the largest force he could deploy to launch the most violent attack on the north gate of Yunwu City. Even though he was hit by an arrow in his left arm again during the battle two days ago, he has almost no way to use his left arm to exert force now.

The soldiers under Sun Jian also clearly felt Sun Jian's determination at this time, but because of the continuous siege operations during this period of time, the morale of these soldiers is generally not high, even though Sun Jian delivered a very exciting pre-war mobilization speech , The soldiers also looked quite tired and perfunctory.

Sun Jian saw all this, but there was nothing he could do. It was like an arrow had to be fired. He was already a big step behind Dong Zhuo. I'm afraid that most of the credit will fall to Dong Zhuo.

However, at this time, Sun Jian launched another violent attack on the city, which is actually a good time. The reason is that Dong Zhuo's defeat at the south gate and east gate will naturally affect the defenders at the north gate. The confidence of the defenders of the city will suffer a heavy blow because of this news. On the other hand, the defenders here will mobilize part of their troops to support Han Sui. After all, the north gate has been defending quite well for a while, so maybe the defenders will be reduced. The army is still able to defend, but Han Sui is now facing a huge predicament, and it is obviously more necessary to send troops to support.

Of course, if Han Sui knew, he would definitely not agree to the defenders at the North City Gate leaving without permission, but under the current extraordinary situation, the generals at the North City Gate may think that they have the right to act cheaply.

In any case, when Sun Jian led his army to attack again, a considerable number of defenders at the North City Gate had indeed been dispatched to support Han Sui's troops. The chances are much greater. Of course, Sun Jian didn't know this at the beginning, but whether he knew it or not, he would definitely launch an attack with all his strength.

Because of the limited space outside the North City Gate, it was difficult for Sun Jian to fully deploy his troops when attacking. In order to better attack the city, he sent people to transport a lot of siege equipment by boat some time ago, including There were also catapults, and there were also rushing carts. Before, his troops used rushing carts to break through the gate of the North City Gate, and even almost occupied the North City Gate at one point. However, his follow-up ability was a little weaker. The defensive force left by the North City Gate is really not worth it, and there are many elite soldiers among them.

Since he failed to grasp that opportunity, Sun Jian's many consecutive attacks on the city gates ended in failure. What makes people particularly discouraged is not that there is no opportunity at all, but that he clearly has the opportunity, and the opportunity lies within himself. In front of my eyes, but just watching the opportunity slip away from my fingertips in vain, that feeling is really very, very uncomfortable.

This time, Sun Jian arranged for several of his main siege equipment as soon as he came up, and at the same time, before the siege weapons were deployed, he sent troops to launch a fierce attack on the city gate regardless of losses. This time the siege was so fierce that some bad premonitions inevitably arose in my heart.

In fact, sometimes whether it is the commander-in-chief of an army, the generals, or the most ordinary soldiers, they will have certain judgments and feelings about the situation on the battlefield and the strength and weakness of both sides, not to mention this feeling in all situations. They are all very accurate, but at least many of them feel similar, and this personal feeling sometimes really affects the outcome of the battle in reality.

Because Dong Zhuo broke through the south gate and the east gate, the soldiers guarding the north gate are basically in fear, and there is not much morale to speak of. Soon this state was manifested in the actual battle. After Sun Jian's siege troops launched a fierce attack, the defending troops only maintained a certain defensive strength for a period of time, but as Sun Jian's offensive momentum did not weaken, it became more and more violent, and the defenders began to decline. revealed.

The reason why the defenders were able to hold on to the city in the previous few times when the city was once broken, on the one hand, was due to the strong will of the defenders. The support of the defenders has always been able to keep up.

But now there are problems with both of them. The defenders have gradually lost their confidence and even belief in guarding the north gate. In addition, some defenders have been dispatched to support Han Sui, and they have lost enough support in the future. ability, under such circumstances, when Sun Jian was still able to launch fierce attacks continuously, it was naturally difficult for the defenders to hold on.

The siege battle started in the morning and lasted until midnight. Sun Jian finally led his troops to break through the north gate again. This time he did not miss another chance, and he led the troops into the north gate in one go, and then completely occupied the north gate. After entering the north gate, the troops defending the city began to flee on a large scale, but the remaining troops who fought tenaciously were unable to resist Sun Jian's siege troops at all.

Sun Jian's troops had been kept out of the city gate for a while, and they had already been hoarding a fire in their stomachs. This time they finally had a chance to vent their anger. How could those defenders resist under such circumstances.
