I raise dragons in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 226 Mutual bombardment
Zhang Yi led 3000 troops to the Golden City, and Lu Zhi asked, "My lord, do you really want to fight?"

With the relationship between Lu Zhi and Huangfusong, he is not willing to fight, after all, they are still friends, and he doesn't want to fight hand to hand with friends.

"You think we have a way back?"

Facing Zhang Yi's rhetorical question, Lu Zhi said:
"That Huangfusong is extremely talented in military affairs. Although the troops he brought are not as strong as the Black Mountain Army at this time, their power is far greater than that of the Black Mountain Army. I am afraid that the Golden City will suffer huge losses."

Zhang Yi said: "Well, don't talk about it, today's Golden City is different from the past. We have doubled the number of troops, and in terms of engineering weapons, the defense of major cities and the use of weapons by soldiers have been greatly enhanced. Our The strength has far exceeded that of the previous Golden City by several times. When there are many enemies, I am stronger! When the enemies are stronger, I am stronger!"

This is either Zhang Yi's blind self-confidence, or it is based on his own strong military strength.Lu Zhi didn't say anything more, and the two returned to the city.

At this time, the drums and thunder outside the city meant that Huangfusong was about to launch an attack.

At this time, the soldiers in the Golden City were not to be outdone, and fought back with an aura that was not weaker than them.

Regardless of strength, momentum cannot be lost.

Under the command of the generals, all the staff are on standby.

About 12000 people participated in the defense of the south gate, while others were responsible for the security of the other three gates to prevent surprise attacks by the enemy.

This time, if Huangfusong can be defeated and the soldiers he leads can be recruited.

Then the number of troops in the Golden City may exceed [-].But it is only possible, but Huangfusong's army is more than twice as large as theirs.

They beat the drums, and the whole army began to advance towards the Golden City.

At this time Zhang Yi was already on the tower, looking at the army in the distance.

A large number of trebuchets exposed in Huangfusong's army.

At first glance, there are about [-] of them in total, and they spread out, aiming at the location of the Golden City.

It is necessary to know if these trebuchets act on the Golden City at the same time.Then the entire Golden City will be like a purgatory on earth.

But the number of trebuchets in the Golden City is also not inferior to them, and even surpasses them.

And the location is more hidden than them, so that they can't find it.

In such a long-distance situation, only by attacking the opponent's attack point can the loss be reduced and the final victory won.

The catapults of Huangfusong's army were pushed out, that is to say, they had installed wheels on these catapults, which made it very convenient to move and very mobile.

All this is in Zhang Yi's eyes.

He immediately ordered: "All trebuchets are ready! The goal of this attack is to smash the enemy's trebuchets."

"Yes!"

All the trebuchets at the south gate of the city numbered nearly [-]. Under the command of the soldiers on the city wall, they adjusted their angles and were ready to launch at any time.

Only by smashing the enemy's trebuchet can the enemy's combat power be limited.Otherwise, surrounded by huge firepower, it is very easy to be invaded into the city.

"Ready!"

A commander shouted loudly.

And this time Huangfusong's army is also ready.

They actually attacked before the Golden City.

A large number of stones flew out, and the stones weighing hundreds of catties directly hit the bricks on the city wall of the Golden City.

boom boom boom

By this time some bricks had fallen off.

It can be seen how much attack the city wall encountered at this time.

"Call me!"

Zhang Yi also ordered.

boom boom boom

The trebuchets in the Golden City also fired a large number of stones, which fell directly on the enemy's machines, and a large number of trebuchets were blasted to pieces.

boom boom boom

The two sides fell into the realm of you coming and going.

What the dragon army hit was the enemy's weapon, but what the enemy hit was the solid city wall.

Obviously, it was the enemy who suffered.

After fighting like this for half an hour, Huangfusong lost more than fifty of his trebuchets.Since the accuracy of the trebuchets was limited, and Huangfusong's trebuchets were very scattered, it would be considered good to have fifty.

At the same time, the city wall of the Golden City has been blasted into several huge depressions, but the thick city wall cannot be breached by a trebuchet in a short time.

At this time, the enemy suddenly stopped attacking.

Huang Fusong actually ordered all the trebuchets to be withdrawn.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Zhang Yi was on the top of the city tower, looking at everything below, only to see that all the trebuchets had been evacuated from the spot.In this way, their catapults were completely unable to attack the location of the Han army.

"Stop attacking!"

Everything is as calm as before.

In front of their eyes, a large group of people and horses appeared, standing in front of Huangfu Song's formation, they didn't know what they were doing.

Zhang Yi asked, "What do they want to do?"

At this time, Lu Zhi said: "

I know what Huangfu Song wants to do!His next step should be digging some trenches.Protect your trebuchet. "

Lu Zhi also had a certain understanding of Huangfusong's fighting methods.

Cai Yong asked, "Mr. Zuo, how did you know?"

But Lu Zhi said: "This method was jointly researched by me and Huangfusong. He dug a large number of trenches, and the soil on the trenches can stop our attack. Its function is equivalent to our city wall." .”

Now everyone suddenly realized,

It turned out that Huangfu Song wanted to use this method of fighting.

This kind of trench is equivalent to a city wall. On the one hand, it can protect the trebuchet from attacking, and on the other hand, it can also protect the safety of one's own army.

At this time Zhang Yi asked: "Then what is the solution?"

Lu Zhi thought for a while.

"The only way to crack it is to wait patiently, consume the enemy's strength, and do a good job of defense."

Cai Yong said: "Then we are in a passive state?"

Lu Zhi said: "It can be said like this. However, if Huangfusong's army has no food, they are bound to retreat within seven days. That is to say, as long as we can persist for seven days, we will definitely win the final victory!"

But Zhang Yi didn't care.

"I'm going to take the initiative to attack! I can't wait seven days until he surrenders!"

Lu Zhi stopped him and said, "However, their army is far larger than ours. If we go out, there will only be too many casualties. Every one of our soldiers is hard-earned!"

"They won't be able to dig the trench in a short time. It's afternoon now, and there will definitely be no more attacks today. I'm going to use sneak attacks at night to consume their patience."

"This……"

Everyone knows that doing so is desperate, but it seems that there is no better way.Otherwise, there will only be a hard fight, and there will be countless lives and deaths.

Zhang Yi cannot be doubted.

"You follow me to make plans for the evening!"

"Yes!"
