Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 833 Anxious Battle

In this way, the battle in Liyang continued day by day. Every day, Zhu Weijun and Yuan Shangjun suffered thousands or even thousands of casualties. So far, Zhu Weijun has lost more than ten thousand troops, and Yuan Shangjun has lost only a few troops. Much more.

More than half a month has passed, and Zhu Weijun has gradually reached the front of Liyang City.

However, Zhu Wei did not intend to directly attack Yuan Shang who was hiding in Liyang City. Instead, he planned to wipe out all Yuan Shang's garrison camps outside Liyang City first. Yuan Shang in the city.

At the same time, Zhu Wei planned to clear a passage outside Liyang City, so that he could join the Pangyan Xiongba Camp located south of Liyang.

In this way, Zhu Wei can concentrate and deploy the troops in his hands. In addition, Zhu Wei can also directly provide food and supplies to Pang Yan's Xiongba camp. Pang Yan in the province also needs to allocate food and supplies from the rear of Luoyang.

Of course, if Zhu Wei's main Northern Expeditionary Army joins Pang Yan's Xiongba camp, it also means that Zhu Wei has already cleared out Yuan Shangjun on Liyang's side near the Yellow River.

In this way, Zhu Wei can use Gan Ning's Jiangjiao Battalion to deploy troops from Puyang and Luoyang at any time to supplement the loss of military resources in the war. In this way, Zhu Wei's military strength will only increase more and more, and will not reduce the number of soldiers due to the loss of the war. .

In addition, after Zhu Wei joined Pang Yan's Xiongba battalion, he could also form a certain encirclement situation against Yuan Shang's army on Liyang's side, preventing Yuan Shang from easily retreating from the Liyang battlefield.

And with the development of the war to the present, Yuan Shang's side was also beaten a little bit shyly.

It can be said that Yuan Shang's initial defensive counterattack tactics have now been defeated by Zhu Wei's pressing tactics. Yuan Shang also organized several counterattacks before, hoping to destroy Zhu Weijun's thunderbolt catapult. War-like equipment.

However, on the frontal battlefield, Yuan Shangjun's counterattack could only seek his own death. Zhu Wei naturally sent a large army to protect his war equipment. Inside, it has been repulsed.

But now Yuan Shang's large camp in Liyang has been cut off by nearly half. If this trend continues, Zhu Weijun will definitely clean up all the camps except Liyang City in the end.

Yuan Shang is also very distressed by the development of the war. The current situation is completely beyond his initial expectations. Although he also highly estimated Zhu Weijun's combat power before, now he feels that he still underestimated.

Up to now, Yuan Shang has also discussed with Fengji, Shenpei and other counselors many times. He also wanted to send a few troops to bypass the frontal battlefield and go to Yanzhou to disrupt Zhu Wei's rear, hoping to attract Zhu Wei to withdraw.

However, Gan Ning's Jiangjiao camp water army was patrolling the Yellow River, and Yuan Shang couldn't find the right time to send troops across the river. It can be said that the Yellow River became a natural obstacle to Yuan Shang's sending troops.

Besides, Yuan Shang now has no generals who can lead the army independently. Although Yuan Shang still has many generals in his hands, most of these generals can only serve as generals, but they do not have the qualifications and abilities to be independent.

If Fengji and Shenpei were allowed to lead troops out, Yuan Shang would have fewer military advisors to negotiate with, so Yuan Shang studied several plans, but finally had to give up.

Such a problem can only return to the reality, how can we continue the war on Liyang's side and stop Zhu Weijun's strong attack, we can't wait for the surrounding camps to fall, leaving an isolated city of Liyang to resist Zhu Weijun's siege.

Although Liyang City has also increased a lot of defenses under the cultivation of Yuan Shang, Liyang is not a big city in the first place, and it cannot accommodate the more than [-] troops under Yuan Shang's current control. Is it possible that the extra troops will be outside the city at that time? Was it slaughtered by Zhu Weijun?

But this problem still made Yuan Shang feel unsolvable. Although there are still many camps around Liyang City that can garrison troops, if Zhu Weijun continues to fight like this, these camps will also be gradually broken by Zhu Wei as before.

It was impossible for Yuan Shang to let the extra troops retreat to Yecheng. Now it is difficult for him to resist Zhu Weijun with these troops in his hands, so how could he weaken the troops in his own hands.

In the end, Yuan Shang discussed with his subordinates Fengji, Shenpei and others many times. After much deliberation, he could only come up with one method, that is to reduce the number of troops through fighting on the battlefield, that is, let the army under him fight recklessly with Zhu Weijun, and use his own The lives of the army are exchanged for the lives of Zhu Weijun.

In this way, when the two sides are almost fighting, Yuan Shang doesn't have to worry about the problem that there will be too many troops to be stationed in Liyang City, and it is estimated that they will almost die.

Moreover, with the depletion of troops on both sides, Yuan Shang could still rely on Liyang City in the end, so Zhu Weijun might not be able to pose a threat to Liyang City due to insufficient troops, so he had to withdraw his troops.

Although such a reckless strategy is a loss-making business for Yuan Shang, there is no other way now.

Therefore, in the ensuing battle, when Yuan Shangjun faced Zhu Weijun's attack, his resistance was significantly enhanced. Even if he retreated somewhat irresistibly on the frontal battlefield, the supervisory army arranged by Yuan Shang would still force him to retreat. The soldiers fought back again.

At the same time, when Zhu Weijun faced the arrow tower fortress built by Yuan Shang in the camp, and was about to stop the offensive temporarily, and called the thunderbolt catapult from the rear to throw stones to destroy the arrow tower fortress, Yuan Shangjun would also forcefully counterattack against Zhu Weijun's threat of falling rocks. Zhu Weijun couldn't safely destroy those arrow tower fortresses, and couldn't move forward easily.

It can be said that before Zhu Weijun attacked again and again, the two sides lost about one or two thousand troops every day, and now the two sides lost at least four or five thousand troops.

Although Yuan Shangjun may have suffered more losses than Zhu Weijun, but if he kills a thousand enemies, he will lose [-]. In such a head-to-head battle on the battlefield, Zhu Weijun has nothing to do.

At the same time, Zhu Weijun's offensive trend was indeed somewhat suppressed by Yuan Shangjun.

Under Yuan Shangjun's desperate counterattack, Zhu Weijun even lost several thunderbolt catapults. It has to be said that the rabbit will bite people when it is in a hurry, let alone Yuan Shangjun, who is not weak in combat effectiveness.

Facing Yuan Shangjun who was getting tougher, Zhu Weijun slowed down his offensive and stopped for a few days.

It's like in a basketball game, when one side's momentum comes up, they call a timeout to stop the opponent's momentum and continue to fight, which can also weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness.

Anyway, Zhu Weijun has other plans here, and naturally he is not afraid of time wasting, so now that Yuan Shangjun is in a hurry, let the other party take a breather...
