I raise dragons in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 267 The Cunning Dong Zhuojun (Third)

Seeing this, Zhang Liao took the initiative to say: "My lord, I request to lead troops to harass the enemy."

His will is very obvious. Just now Zhang Liao's performance was absolutely outstanding, and his record will be marked by a strong stroke today.

But his request was rejected by Zhang Yi.

His reason was: "It's still bright now, if you take an army to go, what if Dong Zhuo's army rushes in with overwhelming force?"

It is also true, even if Zhang Liao is braver than ordinary people, if you can stop a hundred people, can you stop 1000 people?Don't mention that Dong Zhuo's army has 10 people!

So his answer is no, unless he pays the price of his own life, but doing so is not worth the loss.

"But my lord, if we don't stop the enemy from digging ditches, then the enemy will definitely attack us. I'm afraid it's not a good thing for us! Our next battle will become extremely difficult!"

Huangfusong said at this time: "Zhang Liao, my lord has his own ideas. At present, it is the best way for our army to wait for the change! Don't rush for success, lest it will be self-defeating!"

Zhang Yi also said: "General Huangfu is right. As long as we can hold on for a few days, Dong Zhuo will definitely retreat. If not, I will think of a way. Each of you is very important to us now. , but you have to lose, if you really want to make a surprise attack, maybe you can choose at night."

If you choose at night, you have to wait until it gets dark.But at this time, it was not dark.They have 10 people. If tens of thousands of people dig this ditch at the same time, it will take less than half a day to dig all of them. By then, it will not be dark yet.

How will they respond to Dong Zhuo's attack?It can be said that there is no solution other than waiting.But that is also impossible.After all, the opponent's army is too large, and being able to defend the city with a small number of people does not mean that a small number of people can be tough with the enemy!
Zhang Liao didn't say anything else at this time, it seemed that he could only do what Zhang Yi said, defend first, and then make plans.

In this way, there may be a tough battle to be fought for a long time.

But as long as the city is defended, Dong Zhuo has nothing to do with himself. Otherwise, why did Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi attack Zhang Jiao for several months and still not capture it? This is the reason.

When Dong Zhuojun was preparing to dig the ditch, the members of the Dragon Legion were not idle. They were preparing to strengthen the stone loading of the catapult. After all, when the enemy's catapult came, they would play their role , Come to a tough game with the enemy.Now it is not possible, because the enemy's trebuchet is out of their range.

After another half of the morning, the ditch for Dong Zhuo's army was finally dug.This is the advantage of having a large number of people. No matter what you do, you can finish it quickly.

At the same time, a large number of stones were piled up near all the catapults of the Dragon Legion for later use.

Zhang Yi watched every move of Dong Zhuo's army from the tower.

At this time, if there is something like a telescope, it would be great. Zhang Yi also wanted to build one in the past, but the current manufacturing level seems to be insufficient.This probably depends on the future.

In his sight, Dong Zhuo suddenly waved his hand, and all the trebuchets began to push into the ditch.

boom boom boom

Their trebuchets can be heard slowly making their way down the ditch.

At this time Zhang Yi suddenly ordered: "Adjust the direction of the catapult and attack immediately!"

The appearance of the opponent's trebuchet is not a good thing for him. The current situation is as much as he can kill. Being able to clear a trebuchet can relieve the pressure on his side.

boom boom boom

Two hundred stones flew out, but more than half of the stones fell in front of the ditch, and only a few hit the target. It can be seen how wise Dong Zhuo was to dig this ditch, at least it was like a pile of earthen walls outside the city.This wall is protective, protecting the safety of the trebuchet and the soldiers.

Then, when the catapults are all assembled, it's time for them to counterattack.

The first wave of attack only cleared out five of Dong Zhuo's trebuchets and dozens of soldiers, which is very small.But probably as much as they can get.

Dong Zhuojun began to prepare, and believed that within half an hour, they would definitely start attacking.

In the next half an hour, the Dragon Army's attack did not achieve very good results. According to Zhang Yi's understanding, the enemy probably had about 35 trebuchets, and he only cleared [-] of them. This number is very rare .

Finally, the trebuchets in Dong Zhuo's army were ready.

This time, the two sides stood on the same front again.

I saw that these catapults began to project the first batch of stones, and the direction these stones hit was the city wall.

boom boom boom

A large number of stones hit the city gate, and at the same time a large number of vibrations came, and even the tower on the side also shook.

This made the people in the city tower a little scared, but war is like this. If the two sides fight, it will be a test for the safety of the personnel on both sides.

Zhang Yi was protected by a city tower. As for the soldiers who were exposed outside, they were not so lucky. Some of them were smashed to pieces by stones.

However, they are not always being beaten, because they also have counterattacks. The stones on both sides come and go, and each has losses. The losses seem to be similar.

This kind of war of attrition is not a good thing for both sides. If Dong Zhuo does not launch an attack, this battle may take a month or two to end, but how could the impatient Dong Zhuo be so stagnant?

At this time, a large number of ladders have been prepared, and the city charging vehicle has begun to appear from the rear of the army.

This time Dong Zhuo's arrangement can be said to be very comprehensive, he must attack Jiuyuan City.

But Zhang Yi was not completely unprepared, because at this time, thousands of ballista vehicles had already stood behind the city wall, and a large number of city walls protected them in front of them, so that they could be relatively safe and could exert their maximum attack power.
