Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 817

This Chen Ji can be regarded as Zhu Wei's first general who died on the battlefield since Zhu Wei started his army, and it can be regarded as breaking the record among Zhu Wei's army.

However, this also indicates that the battle in Puyang City will not end so easily. Even if Zhu Weijun can easily kill the city wall, he will still encounter Cao Jun's tenacious counterattack.

Cao Jun's current countermeasures are really difficult to resolve.

As long as Cao Jun blocked Zhu Weijun's attack on both sides, he could completely turn the city wall captured by Zhu Weijun into a place of death. How many lives would Zhu Weijun have to kill before he could enter the city?

In this way, Zhu Weijun's siege method of piling up soil seems to be meaningless.

However, Huang Zhong finally withdrew safely, but when he returned to the city wall, the first batch of siege soldiers he brought had only more than 2000 left, which can be regarded as a loss of nearly half.

In this regard, Zhu Weijun could only temporarily stop the siege and send Chen Ji's body down for placement. Then Zhu Wei also summoned his civil and military subordinates to discuss how to attack the city.

At the central command platform of Zhu Wei's army, many people sat in front of Zhu Wei.

At this time, there were many civil and military officials here. In addition to the two military advisers Jia Xu and Liu Ye in the Zhu Weizhong military camp, the young Sun Quan, Lu Su in the Huainan camp, Xu Shu in the Shenjian camp, and Dong Huang Quan of the state army is also a resourceful man.

Of course, Zhu Wei only recruited a few generals to lead the army, such as Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Ren, Zang Ba and others. Due to possible accidents.

"Everyone, it seems that Cao Cao has also made countermeasures in the city. If he wants to attack Puyang like this, he doesn't know how to do it?"

Zhu Wei's eyes swept over the people here, and now Zhu Wei sent the army from Hanzhong to Juancheng to attack Dong Heng's troops sent by Cao Cao over there, so the ones attacking Puyang City are the current ones army too.

"My lord, it's really difficult to attack from the front. Cao's army is blocked on the city wall. Our army will die if we go up the city wall. Maybe we can siege from all sides to disperse Cao's troops, or we can gain something else!"

Huang Zhong can be regarded as having personally withstood Cao Jun's defensive tactics just now, so at this moment he put the helmet on his hand and spoke with bloody sweat all over his body.

The experience just now made Huang Zhong feel a little bit afraid. The rock that fell on the city wall was really not manpower to contend with. Even when he passed the rockfall area just now, he felt like he had narrowly escaped death.

However, Huang Zhong was a general after all, so he quickly thought of tactics that could be used.

Now that Zhu Weijun has laid a slope on the east wall of Puyang City, you can go up the wall directly. Therefore, Cao Cao has mainly placed his defense methods here. If Zhu Weijun launches a new siege on the four gates of Puyang City, maybe after Cao Cao disperses his troops , Zhu Weijun will be able to find the opportunity to break through.

But in this way, the mound that Zhu Wei spent all this time building can only be regarded as a tasteless attack point, and the entire siege tactics have returned to the ant-attachment tactics of forcibly filling with human lives.

After hearing Huang Zhong's words, Zhu Wei frowned. Zhu Wei chose to use this time-consuming siege tactic because he didn't want to consume too much troops on Puyang City.

To be honest, after Zhu Wei was going to take Puyang City easily, he took advantage of the situation and marched northward to launch a war against Yuan Shao. With the morale of such a big victory, he might be able to pacify the world in one go.

But if we were to attack Puyang City now, how many lives would Zhu Wei's army of more than [-] people need to spend to successfully attack it?

After all, there are [-] to [-] Cao Jun in Puyang City. Even if many of them are Cao Jun's second-line and third-line troops, even if many of them are recruits, there are still so many troops after all.

What's more, Cao Cao is defending the city, and Zhu Wei is attacking the city, so the damage ratio of the two sides is at least 10,000:[-], [-]:[-]. Tens of thousands of people will die.

How can we launch a conquest against Yuan Shao with a tired army like that?

"My lord, what General Huang said makes sense, but our army doesn't need to attack everywhere, we just need to use the strategy of attacking east and west, and find a direction to attack. Now most of Cao's army is attracted by our army to the east side of the city. If we sneak attack elsewhere, But there is still a chance!"

As Huang Zhong's partner now, Lu Su heard Huang Zhong's words and looked at Zhu Wei's expression. He knew that Zhu Wei was still unwilling to attack Puyang City by force, so he offered such a tactic.

After all, there is a mound slope on the east side of Puyang City that can directly attack the city wall, which is naturally a defensive direction that Cao Cao attaches great importance to.

But if Zhu Weijun gives up the main attack direction here and instead takes advantage of the situation to attack several other gates of Puyang City, taking advantage of the opportunity that Cao Cao cannot fully consider, to find a direction to break through, then it will be a matter of time before Puyang City is defeated.

"Hitting east and west? It's just that Cao Cao is not an ordinary person, how can he not know how to be prepared, if he fails in one blow, Cao Cao will be on his guard!"

After hearing Lu Su's words, Zhu Wei's heart was moved for a while, but he quickly thought of Cao Cao's intelligence level, how could he not be prepared for this aspect, then it would be another assault battle in the end.

Besides, Cao Cao now has enough troops in Puyang City to garrison the four cities, and enough generals to sit in the four cities. Even if Cao Cao personally sits on the East City side, the other three sides may not be able to easily attack them.

"That's right, Cao Cao has plenty of troops now, such a strategy may not be useful!"

Xu Shu, who is the long history of the Shenjian Battalion, also shook his head. He obviously felt that Lu Su's strategy of attacking the west would not be effective, and then he said, "Now, what our army is worried about is that our army will attack the city wall. Afterwards, Cao Jun covered the land where our army could occupy with falling rocks and feathered arrows, but before our army went up the city wall, Cao Jun didn't dare to go up the city wall to stop it. So can our army go up to the city with a small group of soldiers to attract Cao Jun... "

Xu Shu seemed to have an idea, but when he said this, he shook his head hesitantly. Obviously, this still couldn't solve the problem, so he could only shake his head and say, "This..., Shu, I couldn't think of a suitable method for a while. Even if a small group of troops go to the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to change the situation!"

Seeing that Lu Su and Xu Shu couldn't come up with any good ideas, Zhu Wei could only turn his head and look at Jia Xu. Now only Jia Xu is the most intelligent person here. If Jia Xu can't think of a way for a while, then There is really no other way.

Jia Xu seemed to be thinking about all kinds of possibilities, caressing his short beard, looking towards the east side of Puyang City, and suddenly said, "My lord, is there any way for our army to slow down the damage caused by falling rocks? Now if we can resolve the threat of throwing rocks, there will be no problem at the moment!"

Obviously, Jia Xu's direction of thinking is directly hitting the core of the problem. Now it is because Cao Jun's catapult vehicle is built in the city, and the rocks thrown at the city wall are too terrifying, so Zhu Weijun's method of piled up soil to attack the city has been hindered.

But if the threat of falling rocks can be resolved, then Zhu Weijun can still use the slope of the mound to easily enter Puyang City...
