Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 832 The Advancement of Mutual Consumption
Speaking of which, the Yuan army under Yuan Shang's control is indeed the northern elite soldiers that Yuan Shao has accumulated for many years. In terms of the individual combat effectiveness of the soldiers and the coordination between the soldiers, they are not much inferior to Zhu Weijun.

Therefore, as the battle continued, Yuan Jun took advantage of Yuan Shang's layout in the camp to launch several defensive and counterattacks. In the end, Zhu Weijun was unable to obtain results and gradually became exhausted from fighting.

For such a battle situation, Tai Shici had no choice.

Although this time he, as the forward general, did not charge and fight, and was mainly responsible for commanding the battle, but he also sent many generals to the forefront to lead the charge.

However, in the face of the arrow towers and forts that Yuan Shang arranged in the camp, and the intimidation of Yuan Shangjun's archers and crossbowmen's intensive arrows, even generals whose martial arts surpassed ordinary soldiers could only return home in defeat. ah.

The generals of the Shenjian Battalion, such as Chen Ying and Chen Wu, were all shot by crossbow arrows. At least four crossbow arrows could be clearly seen hanging on their armor, which should have penetrated into their bodies.

In addition, Zang Ba's Taishan Army is still temporarily attached to the Shenjian Battalion, and they will fight together.

At this time, several Taishan brave generals, including Zang Ba, were also wounded. It can be seen that they also put in a lot of effort in this battle and did not steal fish.

However, such a war situation cannot be easily restored by manpower.

It can only be said that Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion is already fighting with all their strength this time, but Yuan Jun is indeed prepared to use defensive and counterattack tactics. results.

Zhu Wei naturally found out that the battle in front was not going well. Seeing that the troops who had originally invaded Yuan Shang's camp had retreated one after another, he took advantage of the situation and rang the retreat bell to let the troops in front retreat first.

Fortunately, when Zhu Weijun retreated, the thunderbolt catapult and mobile arrow tower that were originally constructed outside Yuan Shang's camp could play a role of cover, so Yuan Shangjun did not dare to pursue them closely.

So this battle can only be regarded as a small victory for Zhu Weijun. After all, the outer wall of Yuan Shang's camp was destroyed, so Zhu Weijun occupied part of the camp.

At least Zhu Weijun must publicize this way, which is also a way to ensure morale. As for Yuan Shang, he will naturally publicize that he will repel Zhu Weijun and win today's big victory, which is also an encouragement to morale.

Although Zhu Wei asked Tai Shici to withdraw his army back, he did not withdraw all kinds of war equipment at the forefront of the battlefield. Zhu Wei sent more than ten thousand soldiers from the Zhongjun camp to replace the withdrawn army of the Shenjian Battalion. Pan Zhang guarded these achievements so far for the remaining generals.

Otherwise, all Zhu Weijun retreated, and Yuan Shangjun could easily come back and destroy the simple bridges built on the chasm, so that it would take time to build these bridges next time.

Anyway, Zhu Wei has enough troops now, and he can leave an army here to guard for 24 hours. When Zhu Wei launches an offensive again, he can replace them with other troops.

In fact, today's battle can only be regarded as Zhu Weijun's tentative attack on Yuan Shangjun, that is, he wants to test Yuan Shangjun's combat effectiveness.

It's just that Zhu Wei didn't expect that there would be more problems in this battle. Faced with Yuan Shang's defensive method in the camp, it really made Zhu Wei a little troublesome.

Yuan Shang obviously thought of the possibility of Zhu Wei using fire to burn down the camp, so a fire barrier would appear at every distance in the camp, so that it would be impossible for Zhu Wei to set fire to his entire camp.

That being the case, unless Zhu Wei's army advances steadily step by step, it will be possible to break Yuan Shang's step-by-step defense.

That is to say, with the attack of the front army, equipment such as thunderbolt catapults and mobile arrow towers will be transported up, so as to destroy the arrow tower fortress that Yuan Shang built layer by layer in the camp.

But this may also encounter Yuan Shangjun's counter-sneak attack. As long as Yuan Shangjun can find an opportunity to kill the Thunderbolt Catapult and the Mobile Arrow Tower, these two offensive equipment can be destroyed, thus making Zhu Weijun lose the means to suppress Yuan Shangjun's defense .

Zhu Wei can imagine that the next battle will inevitably fall into a state of anxiety, and the two sides will rush to kill each other in order to destroy each other's defense and offensive methods.

If such a war continues, it will also greatly delay the time spent in the war.

It can be said that if Zhu Wei was not able to obtain food and grass with the help of the Three Kingdoms game system, no one would have been able to fight Yuan Shangjun in Liyang for a long time like this without the need to transport food and grass supplies from the rear.

Yuan Shang obtains supplies from Yecheng, the distance is very short, and the consumption on the road is relatively small, and if Zhu Wei transports supplies from the rear, even if he transports grain and grass supplies by water from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, it will still cost Yuan Shang this amount. Multiple times of the side.

In addition, the consumption on the road must be calculated. Generally speaking, [-]% of the logistics supplies will be transported to the front line, and only [-]% or [-]% will be left.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Zhu Wei to persist in Li Yang for too long. Once the time is delayed, as Zhu Weijun's food and grass are insufficient, he may eventually withdraw because of the problem of food and grass.

Fortunately, the current situation is different. Zhu Wei doesn't have to worry about the logistics supply problem for the time being. Zhu Wei can directly take out the food and grass needed by the army from the food storage in the Three Kingdoms game system, which can greatly alleviate the logistics problem.

At the same time, the Northern Expedition strategy formulated by Jia Xu for Zhu Wei also concealed a dark trick, so now Zhu Wei's delay in the war with Yuan Shang in Li Yang is actually nothing.

However, at this time, Zhu Wei had also ordered Pang Yan's Xiongba Battalion to send troops from the south to attack Dangyin and Yuan Shang's logistics supply line from Yecheng to Liyang. In addition, they could also attack Yuan Shang's defensive camp from the south.

As the first army of Zhu Weijun, the Xiongba Battalion had enough troops and strength to flank Yuan Shang's army in the south, and with the assistance of Zhuge Liang and Yi Ji, Pang Yan would not be deceived by the schemes of Yuan Shang's advisers.

Anyway, Zhu Wei wants Yuan Shang to think that Zhu Wei is trying his best to start a decisive battle with him in Liyang, and Zhu Wei wants to focus Yuan Shang's attention on Li Yang.

In this way, after Zhu Wei discussed the specific tactics with his advisers and generals, Zhu Weijun began to launch a steady offensive against Yuan Shangjun. For this reason, Zhu Weijun first filled the gap constructed in front of Yuan Shangjun's camp and opened a passage.

Then Zhu Weijun once again pushed all kinds of siege machines steadily into Yuan Shangjun's camp, clearing all obstacles along the way, thus forcing Yuan Shangjun to retreat steadily.

Now that there is such a strategic military machine as the thunderbolt catapult, no matter how many arrow towers and fortresses Yuan Shang constructs, it will be difficult to resist the rock damage thrown by the thunderbolt catapult.

As long as there are no obstacles from these arrow towers and fortresses, Zhu Weijun can naturally repel Yuan Shangjun on the frontal battlefield.

Although the losses of Zhu Weijun and Yuan Shangjun are not small in such a head-on battle, in general Zhu Wei has tens of thousands of reserve troops in Luoyang. At the same time, after defeating Cao Cao, Zhu Wei also has a large number of troops in Puyang. Cao Jun's strong captives can be used as a supplementary source of troops, so Zhu Wei can supplement the current consumption of troops at any time.

And if Yuan Shang’s elite Yuan army is finished, it will not be easy to add. It can be said that this kind of battle situation is Zhu Wei’s way to solve the main force of Yuan army and reduce obstacles for the subsequent conquest of the whole northern territory...
