Lu's relatives

Chapter 495
In the east of Yuzhang City, where the main camp of Qin Xu's army is located, with the loud noise like thunder in spring, as in the legend, more than ten dazzling light balls appeared in the sky at the same time, with choking smoke , fell into the city.Before the Sun's city defenders, who were stunned by the situation, could react, as if they had received a signal, Yuzhang City's east, west, and south sides, pious Qingzhou soldiers and rebellious Danyang soldiers, began to attack the city.

If it were in the past, even if Zhou Yu knew the news that Qin Xu's two armies, which grew up in iron and blood, would attack the city, they would probably not take it too seriously.After all, siege is a low-tech "job". If the attacking party does not have powerful siege tools and a steady stream of cannon fodder to fill the pits, it would be difficult for Zhou Yu to capture a city with the same force. , It's tantamount to a fool's dream.Therefore, even though Qin Xu's army is approaching, and the battle in Jiangdong is like a broken bamboo, Zhou Yu, who has made up his mind and plans to stick to Yuzhang and drag down Qin Xu's army with poor food roads, can still arrange defenses in an orderly manner and wait for Sun Ce to return. aid.But now, Zhou Yu finally knew what was the use of that apparently ordinary thing that made her always inexplicably irritated.

However, half-length bamboo pieces were hooped into a cylinder, and they were swung out by a soldier with excellent physical strength, and the ball with a trace of smoke and light flew into the sky above Yuzhang City. Before the soldiers of our army could respond When it came over to find out what it was, it exploded suddenly, as frightening as in the legend.Even Zhou Yu, who thought that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, only felt a tight pain in his chest when he heard the sound for the first time.Not to mention the soldiers of our army guarding the head of Yuzhang City.

Now that Zhou Yu finally knew Qin Xu's plan, he looked at the big beetle on the black background with the word "Qin" written on it not far away behind the army formation, and his eye sockets were almost bleeding.

Zhou Yu is a peerless wise man. After experiencing the initial moment of instinctive panic, he quickly calmed down, and soon discovered that the homemade bomb was not very lethal except for bright spots and loud noises. Such facts.But the problem is, because of this sudden situation, the army's soldiers' hearts are gradually becoming chaotic, but it can't be relieved by Zhou Yu's "awakening".The Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers who came with light and loud noises have already left a bad influence on the hearts of our army by taking advantage of this mighty momentum. Just like the Danyang soldiers who are used to being rebellious, they have not yet shown any kindness to Qin Xu. The example of daring to disobey his orders is almost like Qingzhou soldiers ordered by Qin Xuru's arm, which shows that knowing the truth of this thing and experiencing the power of this thing are actually two different things.Moreover, Zhou Yu knew very well that if this continues, our army will not be able to counterattack, but it has become a luxury to have the courage to raise a knife when the soldiers of the two battalions rushed to the top of the wall.

"Order Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han to be the three generals, each leading his own army, and go out of the city to fight according to the plan!" Zhou Yu's plan with the three veteran generals, who temporarily let go of their grievances last night, was based on relying on the small city of Yuzhang. If the defense is not enough to defend against Qin Xu's arrival, he will follow the suggestion of the three veterans who have not always agreed with passive defense, concentrate superior forces, and give priority to annihilating part of Qin Xu's army outside the city.This decision was the last thing Zhou Yu wanted to see.Zhou Yu also had some understanding of Qin Xu.In addition to knowing Qin Xu's not very "brilliant" background, Zhou Yu also privately analyzed several key battles of Qin Xu's rise in recent years.But what puzzled Zhou Yu was that Qin's wars, to put it bluntly, were almost all classic battles where people were put to death and then reborn. The chance of victory, but to be as untraceable as Qin Xu's antelope's horns, is still difficult to achieve after all.Therefore, Zhou Yu predicted that if Qin Xu hadn't been so unlucky, he must be a character who didn't follow the rules. Just looking at the incident in Jiangdong this time, he easily broke through the four lines of defense laid down by the Sun family, and he knew that this time would be the same. He would never forcefully attack the city with an army of less than 3 people.There must be some tricks.Therefore, last night, Zhou Yu used the several battles that Qin Xu had experienced as an example to convince the generals of the Sun family that they should never treat Qin Xu with common sense, so he let go of this not-so-smart head-to-head plan. In the end, when it was really irreversible, he took action again, but he didn't want to, he hadn't fought against Qin Xu's army, so he was forced to take it out in advance.

The troops of Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai were waiting outside the east, west, and south gates of Yuzhang City. Except for the chaos in the city caused by the momentum of meteors falling from the sky, they did not see it with their own eyes. The scene of Qin Xu's army's actions was relatively small, and the soldiers' morale could still be controlled.After receiving the military order from Zhou Yu's order, under the leadership of the three veterans, they quickly occupied the east, west and south gates, and only waited for Zhou Yu's order to send troops.

As for the North Gate, almost everyone in the Sun family believed that it was the gate of life and death left by someone from Qin's plan to encircle three people and one missing. No one suggested wasting troops to explore the reality of this road.Even Zhou Yu did not express any objection, since the Sun family had only Yuzhang roots left and the world had nowhere to go.

At this moment outside Yuzhang City, the Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers who were carrying simple siege ladders arrived at Yuzhang City without encountering any major obstacles as Zhou Yu had expected.On the city wall, the Yuzhang soldiers who had already prepared enough arrows and planned to give the incoming soldiers a severe blow, many of them could not even hold their bows stably, provided considerable support for the incoming soldiers to attack the city. convenient.

Faced with such a strange situation where the attacking side was as powerful as a rainbow, and the defending side had little resistance at all, Zhou Yu felt powerless in his heart. Seeing that Yuzhang was only a city wall more than three feet high, It was almost a copy of the Fuguan incident that Shi Ji almost captured at the beginning, but now it was just a role reversal. Zhou Yu finally gave up the "correct" strategy of sticking to the wall and waiting for help. When Qingzhou soldiers and Danyang soldiers attacked the city wall, they had to send another order, ordering Cheng Puhan to act as Huang Gai and other Sun's veterans to go out of the city to fight.

Outside the city, as Zhou Yu summed it up, Qin Xu's luck has been pretty good.The soil bombs brought to Yuzhang this time by the "sister's cause" brother-in-law had already been used up in Guangling, but there are actually less than two hundred of them left in hand, even if they are all It is the "quality" that is high, and it will not happen when Wuming Valley played against Cao Cao, at least seven or eight out of ten did not make a sound.It looks like a lot, but in fact, if it is divided up, the deterrence time that can last a stick of incense is already far beyond Qin Xu's expectation.

Qin Xu himself didn't expect that these things with low lethality could cause much damage. What he wanted was to minimize unnecessary casualties when his army attacked the city.To be honest, if it wasn't for Wumei's inadvertent reminder that the grain and grass reserves in Hewangu County were not as rich as expected, Qin Xu felt that instead of waiting for the Fuguan to open the grain road, it would be worth taking this opportunity to gamble. If you have a chance, come and give it a go.What Qin Xu likes the most is actually the safe method of encircling the spots to fight for reinforcements and slowly draining Sun's troops.After all, Danyang soldiers are fine, but Qingzhou soldiers use one less and one less, at any rate, they are all elites out of dozens of people, or even one out of a hundred. Qin Xu, who has experienced the combat power of Qingzhou soldiers several times, has always sneered.Therefore, seeing the power of the soil bomb known as the god thunder, which made the siege of the city quite smooth, and even so far there has not been a large number of casualties reported, the smile on Qin Xu's face became more and more intense. At least, Wu Mei, who was watching beside Qin Xu, couldn't help curling her lips.

"Yaya..." Fortunately, the astonishing loud noise and huge fire light stopped after a stick of incense. The Yuzhang soldiers, who were initially in shock, finally began to slow down after losing the urn city and a section of the city wall. Overwhelmed, an effective resistance began to be organized.And within the four gates of Yuzhang, after a few teeth-piercing noises, the three veterans of the Sun family, who had been waiting for a long time, also began to launch a counterattack.

The rumor that Qin Xu's army has no generals has been deeply ingrained in Jiangdong's army after several battles.Therefore, when Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai led their troops out of the city this time, they really wanted to go on a killing spree, and make a big contribution to prove to Sun Ce that the old general is stronger than those young people.When the gate of the city was just opened, the three veteran generals rushed out from the three gates in the east, west and south, and they really had the momentum to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger.

However, the facts have proved that it is not feasible for laymen to lead experts no matter in what era.To say that in this era of cold weapons, the generals fight honestly on the battlefield and fight for their lives, and the counselors try their best to control the overall situation and plan strategies. This is the most correct combination obtained after countless blood-stained accumulations.If the counselors fail to make sense, the generals do not follow suit, and if misleading information leads to miscalculations, the ending they get will often make people very depressed, such as the current three generals of the Sun family.

The fighting power of Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai has been tempered through countless battles on the battlefield. From Qin Xu's perspective, even if they could not be ranked as top-ranking generals in the entire late Han period, they would still be the best in the end. At least in commanding the army, he is also a mainstay.If Zhou Yu's original plan was followed, even after Qin's "cheating" method this time, he only needed to resist the initial panic for a period of time. It could be said that if Qin Xu's army wanted to capture Yuzhang head-on, it would have to pay corresponding price.After all, whether it is Qingzhou soldiers or Danyang soldiers, there is nothing wrong with fighting on the plains, but for attacking cities, it is estimated that after understanding the combat power of these two armies, the only ones who can make such a decision are those who are still military. Qin, who belongs to the category of two knives, can do such a thing like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

However, just like Zhou Yu's conclusion on Qin Xu, such an unreasonable way of playing cards led to the ending that when Cheng Puhan and Huang Gai came out of the city, they met, Bearing the brunt, he met Dian Wei, Hao Zhao, and Cao Xing. In Qin Xu's army, who currently has "no big generals", there are only three people who can "take a shot"...
