Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189 The Last Straw
Outside Jixian County
Qu Yi personally supervised the army and ordered his elite troops to storm Ji County.

The county seat of Jixian County is tall, and the city walls are strong and generous. To completely conquer it, it will take a lot of elite troops.

Qu Yi didn't have the kindness of Han Wu, he just wanted to restrain the Youzhou Army in Ji County, and he didn't hesitate to kill or injure too much.

Old and weak soldiers were sent to the front line to attack the city, and they used the most advanced siege equipment, which put a lot of pressure on Gongsun Zan!

"Soldiers, go! Go up and take the city!"

The vanguard lieutenants sent by Qu Yi kept motivating the soldiers to charge, but they didn't ask too much for the soldiers to be able to climb the tower.

There will be ladders going up and being pushed down constantly. If you charge too fiercely, you will only waste your troops in vain.

In addition, Qu Yi had already told the lieutenant general in advance that he was going to make a feint attack, so the lieutenant general also tried his best to bluff.

"Come on! Give it to me!"

All the county soldiers in Zhuojun were sent up, and they were all relatively old veterans, and their combat effectiveness was not very strong.

But they are very good at saving lives!
Most of them are also soldiers, and they have already had a lot of experience in such siege warfare.

Gongsun Zan stared at the battering hammer below the city, and shouted, "Hurry up, smash the battering hammer with huge rocks!"

On the tower, Gongsun Zan personally oversaw the defense of the city, and he immediately asked his elites to throw boulders at the hammer.

The soldiers of the Jizhou Army who are responsible for transporting the city hammer are not afraid of death. These dozens of them are the elite of the elite.

The boulder fell from the top of their heads, and these elite soldiers dodged one after another, but a few of them were crushed to death.

Gongsun Zan yelled: "Hold on! We have plenty of food and grass, and some troops, and there will be reinforcements in a few days!"

"As long as we hold on to today, victory is ours, and we can take the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy!"

Constantly motivating the combat capabilities of his soldiers, Gongsun Zan did not hesitate to start deceiving them.

In fact, Gongsun Zan's food and grass are running out, and maybe he won't be able to last for a few days at all.

The fortified battle lasted less than two hours, and Qu Yi saw that the sun had begun to set in the sky, so he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The soldiers under his command all heard the mingjin, retreated one after another, and brought back all the equipment for rushing to the city.

"The enemy has retreated! They have retreated! We have won, and we have defended the city!"

"The thieves in Jizhou have retreated! We have defended Ji County, hahaha! Brothers, we have won a big victory!"

……

When the defenders in Ji County heard that the Jizhou army had withdrawn their troops, they all shouted and rejoiced for the victory.

Originally, the Jizhou Army did not have the slightest decline.

But after hearing the excitement in the towers of Ji County, they all began to feel depressed.

It's just that some depressed soldiers are almost veterans, and their real combat capabilities are not high.

Qu Yi didn't care about the aura of these soldiers at all, they were meant to be cannon fodder.

There was a dilapidated scene in front of him, but this strong general didn't care at all.

"The whole army retreats and returns to the camp! After half an hour, bury the pot for cooking, and come back to attack the city tomorrow morning!"

Qu Yi ordered the withdrawal of the troops, led the army back to the camp, and asked his lieutenants to count the casualties.

Holding the saber in his hand, Gongsun Zan threw the corpses of several Jizhou soldiers who had died on the tower below the city, and squinted his eyes towards Qu Yi's direction.

"Qu Yi! You really understand me! You didn't continue to send troops to attack the city, but just spent two hours of protracted battle to consume my troops!"

"Grasp the time period of two hours, so that the soldiers under my command can reach the peak of physical exertion, and it is also the time when they eat the most."

"It's all for the purpose of consuming more of my food and grass. You are really cunning! If you are not my enemy, it will be fine!"

With a cold snort, Gongsun Zan clenched his left fist and finally sighed helplessly.

A generation of northern heroes, now feel so powerless, unable to counterattack the enemy's actions.

"You continue to defend the city first, and I will immediately replace you with a group of soldiers. The soldiers defending the city are very tired today, so let's go directly to bury the pot and cook!"

Gongsun Zan still showed a very confident look in front of the soldiers, not letting them have the slightest suspicion.

When the soldiers guarding the city heard that it was time to start cooking, they all shouted and kept applauding.

Gongsun Zan was relieved to see such arrogance of the soldiers under his command.

A group of defenders were replaced on the tower of Jixian County, and the original soldiers all retreated to the tower to cook.

Today's consumption of food and grass is extremely high, which is really unbearable for Gongsun Zan.

In the barracks, the soldiers under Qu Yi's command were all cooking, and the deputy general also went to the central army tent to report.

"General, we have 430 people who were seriously injured or died today, and about 100 of them were seriously injured."

"After the treatment of military doctors, about 30 people can survive, but no more than half of them can continue to fight."

"According to the reports from the frontline soldiers, less than 100 defenders in Ji County were killed today, and the loss is not very large."

Koji nodded while eating the rice, and took a deep breath.

"It doesn't matter. Those who charged to attack the city today are soldiers from Zhuo County. They were also from Youzhou Army before."

"On the contrary, the soldiers guarding Ji County are the elite under Gongsun Zan's command. It is enough to let them be consumed continuously."

"Be sure to step up patrols tonight, beware of a night attack by Gongsun Zan's army. Continue to attack the city tomorrow morning."

Qu Yi waved to the lieutenant general, telling him to go down to eat and rest more.

Although the consumption of troops today is relatively large, in Qu Yi's view, it is not worth mentioning.

On the contrary, this has achieved the effect he expected, successfully consuming Gongsun Zan's troops and provisions.

At Xu Rong's barracks, he also inquired about Qu Yi's consumption today, and frowned slightly.

"Xu Fang, tomorrow you will lead [-] cavalry to circle the official road. If you find an enemy food transport team, you must intercept it."

"If the opponent has too many troops, use fire arrows to burn the enemy's food and grass."

Xu Fang is Xu Rong's nephew, and when he heard about the general, he took orders immediately.

Xu Rong took a deep breath and thought, "Qu Yi will continue to consume Gongsun Zan's food and grass, it seems that I will also be dispatched."

"If we divide our troops to attack Yuyang County now, there may be unexpected effects. But how should we leave quietly?"

Xu Rong, who really wanted to make meritorious deeds, kept thinking about it. After half an hour, he opened the "Military Code", and his eyes lit up immediately!
"Come on, tomorrow morning, the whole army will gather and leave from the back mountain!"

Xu Rong directly called all the lieutenants and told them to get ready and set off directly tomorrow morning to make a detour to the north.

Thinking of this strategy, Xu Rong can let himself out of the golden cicada's shell and directly attack Yuyang County by surprise!
