After Zhao Chen shot down Han Junshuai's flag with an arrow, before he returned to the cavalry camp, he did not attack immediately, but called all the generals to discuss matters, and he wanted to arrange the next offensive steps.
"Everyone should know that we have lost the best opportunity for a surprise attack. The enemy is already prepared. Their city walls are well-arranged. It is impossible to use a strong attack. Otherwise, it depends on whether our cavalry has arrived The infantry will also suffer heavy losses.
What's more, there has never been a precedent for using cavalry to storm a fortified city, so we must think of a strategy how to break through the city with the least cost! "
Zhao Chen discussed with Guan Fei and other generals in a hidden place nearby. Zhao Chen explained the current situation clearly and wanted to ask for their opinions to see if he could find the best way. .
After listening to Zhao Chen's words, the other generals also fell into deep thought. They also knew the difficulties encountered in this battle. Everyone was at a loss, and they didn't think of any effective method. They all frowned, especially Guan Fei, who was always by Zhao Chen's side. As the leader of his personal army, he was deeply loved by Zhao Chen. Influenced by military law, he is quite strategic.
"Although there are not many soldiers and horses left behind in Zheng County, this place is full of hills and narrow mountains. It is impossible to attack with a large army in one fell swoop, and only a small group of small groups can attack in turn. However, it is so easy to cause mass casualties in the army, so you should think about it." There is a way to draw them out and attack."
Guan Fei said to Zhao Chen and other generals. After Zhao Chen finished listening, he also nodded in satisfaction. He observed carefully enough. However, there are still some omissions.
Zhao Chen personally took Guan Fei to look at the heavily guarded defenders at the head of Zheng County City, and said to him: "It's not easy to lure him out. You see, I made such a provocation just now, but the defenders are still so calm. You have to hold your breath, and the generals defending the city have some tricks, and if they are properly arranged, it is impossible to succeed easily."
Guan Fei and the other generals nodded and said, "If we attack by force, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to our army."
Zhao Chen nodded, turned his head to look at the generals around him, and said to Guan Fei: "Guan Fei, take three hundred horses and horses to call the formation, and see if you can lure the defender out."
"Yes." Guan Fei nodded, and ordered three hundred elite knights to walk out of the corner and head towards the city gate.
As soon as Guan Fei's troops appeared, they were reported by the guards to Chen Ling who was patrolling the city defenses. When Guan Fei came to the place outside the city, an archer from the top of the city shot down with an arrow. Chen Ling said sharply: " What's the matter with you? Back off quickly! We will not surrender to the death! Let's see each other on the battlefield!"
Guan Fei raised his head and glanced at Chen Ling's direction, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I am Guan Fei, the general under the lord's command, and the lord ordered me to come and invite you to fight! As long as you can defeat me in battle! Wait, we will retreat immediately! I wonder if you have the courage to fight!"
Chen Ling frowned. He had never heard of Guan Fei's name, but he was able to be sent by Zhao Chen to challenge him, which showed his strength, so Chen Ling didn't dare to be careless, and fought casually, because he knew that his strength was strong enough to defend him. The city is barely enough, but once out of the city, Zhao Chen's 3,000 cavalry are enough to defeat them, let alone nearly 10,000 elite cavalry!
"I won't fall for your plan! If you have the ability, attack the city! I'll wait for you here!" Chen Ling refused!
"Bastard!" Guan Fei was furious: "I didn't expect you to be such a cowardly and fearful person! You dare not fight, it's really ridiculous!"
Guan Fei sneered at him, and the 300 cavalrymen behind him also insulted one after another. When they sarcastically, their words were so ugly and rude that even the Han soldiers on the city wall could hear their expressions of anger, but he remained calm. , There is no movement in the eyes.
It can be seen how strong his inner quality is, and he can be so calm, so calm, without being provoked by him at all!
Guan Fei sneered and said, "Could it be that in Korea, there are all cowards like you?"
Chen Ling suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and snorted coldly: "I won't argue with you, retreat quickly! I'll wait for you on the city wall! Don't say such useless words!"
Guan Fei provoked and abused again and again, but Chen Ling never came out, so he had no choice but to lead his troops back, and said to Zhao Chen, "My lord, forgive me, but I will not be able to open the gate of the city."
"Since you can't scream, then attack!" Zhao Chen snorted coldly, looking in the direction of Zheng County. He really didn't want to waste too much time here, his patience was limited.
"My lord, our army is all cavalry. If we attack this city by force, we will lose a lot! Please think twice, my lord." A general on the side quickly advised.
"Don't worry, cavalry attack the city, there is a way for the cavalry to attack the city, I will naturally?I will use the lives of my brothers to go to Tim City. Zhao Chen shook his head, then looked at the generals and said, "Guan Fei, Han Dang, Li Yue, Liu Su!" "
"The end is here!" The four of them heard the words and came out.
"The four of you each bring 1,500 soldiers, and each of you brings two quiveres. You don't need to stay there. Just shoot arrows at the top of the city until you have shot all the arrows before returning. If the enemy goes out of the city, the number of people will be more difficult." Kill him by strangling, if there are many people, don't go head-to-head with him." Zhao Chen said.
"No!" Guan Fei's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Zhao Chen's method. This is to follow the example of the barbarian cavalry in fighting. When they encounter a city, they will not attack it by force. They just let the cavalry shoot around the city to shoot and suppress the defenders at the top of the city. make it impossible to defend effectively.
Although the other three people didn't understand, they took their orders and left.
"The rest of the generals!" Zhao Chen looked at the two of them and said, "You guys take the rest of the soldiers and prepare to attack the city with hammers. Listen to my orders at any time and prepare to smash open the city gate."
"Yes!" The remaining generals agreed and wanted to leave.
"Guan Fei! Wait a minute! You keep that Sky-Suppressing Bow!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, let him keep the Sky-Suppressing Bow, it will be of great use to him!
"My lord wants to use it, just take it." Guan Fei immediately handed over his Sky-Shaking Bow to Lu Bu. This bow is his family treasure, but with his strength, he could not exert its power. But in Zhao Chen's hands, that power is much stronger.
"Action!" Zhao Chen gave an order, and immediately six thousand knights rushed towards Zheng County under the leadership of Zhang Liao and four others, while Zhao Chen brought the remaining generals and one thousand elite troops to a place about four hundred cloth outside the city. stand still.
On the top of the city, Chen Ling couldn't help being shocked when he saw the large number of cavalry that suddenly came out, and then secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know what Zhao Chen was paying attention to at first, and he was very worried. The country's generals are definitely not ordinary.
At this time, he finally acted, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. After all, although the cavalry is very powerful in field battles, this is a siege battle. In addition, the city wall is five feet high. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, it is impossible to directly charge up the city wall Bar.
When he was breathing a sigh of relief, he saw that the cavalry did not charge directly towards the city, but walked around the city, which made the soldiers who had drawn their bows and waited to kill the enemy stunned for a while. Riding and shooting, ignoring the results of the battle, continued to gallop around the city, shooting a round of arrows towards the wall from time to time. Many guarding soldiers were caught off guard and were shot and killed by the arrows flying from below the city.
"Not good!" Chen Ling was shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to think of this method, and he lost many soldiers in such an instant that he was caught off guard.
He hastily said sharply: "Quickly, notify the guards of all gates, pay attention to evasion, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"
The garrison at the top of the city wanted to fight back, but the opponent left as soon as they touched it, and did not give a chance at all. After a round of arrow rain, when the garrison at the top of the city wanted to fight back, there was no sign of the opponent.
Zhao Chence stepped forward immediately, looked at Chen Ling who was glaring at the head of the city, and said in a loud voice: "This is the guerrilla general of the Great Qin Dynasty, the fifteenth son Zhao Chen! You should open the city and surrender immediately, otherwise when the city is broken, the rebels guarding the city will not be able to kill you." Stay!" Zhao Chen continued to use words to dismantle their fighting spirit in order to reduce casualties.
Chen Ling was very angry and helpless. He didn't expect the cavalry to have such a way to attack the city. He originally wanted to use the city defenses it had arranged to deal a big blow to Zhao Chen, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chen would actually attack the city. In this way, he avoided his plan!
Now he had no choice but to grit his teeth and look at the defenders who were so crushed that they couldn't lift their heads. He still suppressed the aggrieved heart and gave orders in an orderly manner to stabilize the morale and formation so that the soldiers would not collapse.
He listened to Lu Bu's shout, but he snorted coldly in his heart, so what about Zhao Chen, no matter how powerful he is, he still doesn't believe that you can make cavalry charge up the city wall. As long as he perseveres, there will definitely be openings, and he will be able to wait for the opportunity to fight back!
"My lord, we cut a few big trees and tied them together. Do you think this will work?" Soon, a general of the Qin army led dozens of soldiers, and came forward carrying a huge and rough ramming log. , said to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen glanced at the battering log, nodded and said: "That's enough, tie it up a little more, and prepare to attack the city."
"Siege?" General Qin looked at the opposite city gate in astonishment. There is a moat in Shu County, and the suspension bridge has not fallen. How can he attack the city. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
