Although the Zhao army of 20,000 soldiers and horses continued to attack, it never steadily climbed the city gate tower.Always just boarded, was killed, so back and forth, the Shu army guarding the city gate also sacrificed, but compared to the casualties of the Zhao army, it was much less, but this time the Zhao army relied on a large number of people.Don't look at the increasing casualties of the 20,000 siege soldiers, but there are still nearly 180,000 troops behind, and at this moment, the soldiers and horses of the entire Shu State can directly participate in the battle at most as 50,000 or 60,000.Compared with the Zhao army, it can't be dragged at all, and it can't be injured, it can be said that the Shu army at this moment is one less dead, so dragged down by the Zhao army, the Shu army will eventually all die on the battlefield."
Military advisor, although the soldiers of the two generals Zhang Ren and Liu Bi are ordinary soldiers in the army, but if they attack at the same time, they can barely kill the city gate.If these 20,000 soldiers and horses are replaced by other elite soldiers in our army, they will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Shu army in one fell swoop.If you cooperate with the Super Divine Crossbow, it will definitely not be difficult to capture the enemy's city gatehouse. ”After seeing the results of this battle, General Yan Liang couldn't help but say to Xu Shu, the military advisor.Guan Yu, who had been seeing Guan Yu on the city gate tower before, the hatred in Yan Liang's heart involuntarily exploded, and at this moment, Yan Liang couldn't wait to run up to the city gate tower in an instant and fight with that Guan Yu.It's a pity that the military order is like a mountain, Yan Liang can't act without authorization, and as a general in the army, he needs to command in the rear, let alone rush forward.Otherwise, with Yan Liang's identity and attire, he will attack the city with a sword, and he will only become a live target for the enemy.For Yan Liang's hatred, how could Xu Shu not know, although it may be bad to be anxious and angry.But sometimes when fighting, great hatred will also be the power to attack and fight, so Xu Shu will not have any antipathy to this, but he still needs this kind of person.It's just the current results, and it's still the first day of the siege, and it hasn't achieved what Xu Shu wants to achieve, so Xu Shu can't send other people and elite soldiers to attack the city for the time being.Even though this would increase a lot of casualties, Xu Shu's tactic was to use some ordinary sergeants to consume the strength of the Shu army first.When the Shu army was sleepy and the troops could not be connected, they had the elite in one fell swoop and took Chengdu.Later, Xu Shu comforted Yan Liang and persuaded him: "General Yan Liang's thoughts, Xu Shu understands very well, but this time is different.If we directly launch a strong attack on the elite soldiers, then the Shu army will be familiar with our strength, and after taking Bucheng, it will be difficult to take the offensive behind even if ordinary soldiers are attacking.Therefore, it is necessary to use those sergeants to confuse the Shu army first, and when the Shu army gets used to it, it is the time for General Yan Liang and other elite troops to attack. ”Yan Liang didn't understand Xu Shu's persuasion, but looking at the arrogant Guan Yu on the city gate, Yan Liang was quite angry in his heart.Of course, this scene was also seen by Xu Shu, and he immediately spoke at Yan Liang and persuaded him again: "General Yan Liang's heart, Xu Shu naturally understands, and please rest assured General Yan Liang."
Once our army has the opportunity to break through the enemy city, Xu Shu will inevitably hand over the military order to pursue Guan Yu and meet Guan Yu to General Yan Liang.So before that, I also ask General Yan Liang to wait a little, when the time comes, Xu Shu will definitely not stop it. ”After hearing Xu Shu's persuasion, Yan Liang finally calmed down a little, and immediately bowed to Xu Shu and said: "Okay, with the words of the military advisor, Yan Liang is relieved, I just hope that the military advisor will not let Yan Liang down when the time comes." ”After lasting less than half an hour, 20,000 attacking soldiers suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, and the Shu army on the tower of the city gate also had two or three thousand casualties.Seeing that the results of the battle between the two sides were quite impressive, Xu Shu suddenly waved his hand and said to the generals around him: "The front army has become the rear army, and the rear army has become the front army, and it has begun to retreat, and today's siege will be here for the time being." ”Suddenly, Xu Shu retreated, which made all the soldiers around him surprised, but the military order was like a mountain, and Xu Shu's military order, as a military advisor, had already been issued, even if everyone had more questions, it was impossible for Xu Shu to withdraw the retreat order.Immediately, all the generals began to organize and lead the soldiers and horses under their command to form a team and retreat one after another.Perhaps it was because he was worried that during the retreat, the enemy army would suddenly rush out of the city gate and pursue the rear army of Army B.So Xu Shu spoke in advance: "The infantry is in front, the cavalry is behind, and when the army all arrives at a safe place, the cavalry is beginning to retreat." ”For the sudden retreat of the Zhao army, the Shu army responsible for guarding the city gate was very surprised, and many soldiers thought that it was their own full defense, and the Zhao army, which was repulsed, all began to cheer.But as the commander and general of the army, he can naturally see the reason, with the powerful strength of the Zhao army, how could it be that it will be repulsed because of a small loss, and there must be some reason and conspiracy in this.Just when the Zhao army was retreating one after another, I only heard the general Guan Suo say to Zhuge Liang on the side: "Prime Minister, although the siege soldiers and horses of the Zhao army seem to have more casualties than our Shu country, but with the strength of the Zhao army, it is simply not worth mentioning, why did this Zhao army suddenly retreat Do you want the last general to lead a light cavalry, go out of the city gate to pursue, and kill some more enemy troops, so as to shock the prestige of our army" After hearing Guan Suo's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but show a complicated expression, this time the Zhao army was so abnormal, Even Zhuge Liang had a special headache, but he was helpless.At the moment, even Guan Suo and other soldiers can see the strangeness, how can he Zhuge Liang not know it, after sighing, he said: "The Zhao army is relying on a lot of soldiers and horses this time, so I don't care about sacrifice, this time the Zhao army must have come to find out the defensive strength of our Shu army, and then go back to think of a new siege plan."
Today's battle must be just a tentative siege, and by tomorrow, the enemy's offensive will be strengthened one after another, and then it will be the key moment for the life-and-death battle between our army and the Zhao army. ”Zhuge Liang's words all revealed a trace of hidden dangers, and Guan Suo was very unconvinced when he heard it, even if he patted his chest at Zhuge Liang and said: "Prime Minister don't worry, I have heard that the Zhao army has many generals, many good ministers, and the special battalion, trapping camp, white tiger cavalry, and green dragon cavalry under his command are heroic, but the flying feather cavalry and white Yu soldiers in our army are not vegetarians."
Tomorrow, if the elite soldiers of the Zhao army come, they can send the Bai Yu soldiers led by General Chen Zhi to meet and kill the enemy, and those Zhao troops will not return. ”After Guan Suo finished speaking, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The Feiyu Cavalry is the elite cavalry of the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and it can only have flat ground combat, and this kind of defense and siege battle is not suitable for cavalry to participate, otherwise it will only increase losses in vain."
And the Bai Yu soldiers are the elite soldiers ordered by His Majesty personally and supervised by the general, and their combat bravery is unrivaled in our Shu country.If all the Bai Yu soldiers are moved out on the occasion of this defense, although they can resist the Zhao army's rush with all their might, once the Bai Yu soldiers consume a large number of losses, when the city gate is broken, our army will no longer be able to resist the Zhao army's offensive. ”After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang looked at Guan Suo again, and then showed a firm expression and said: "So the Bai Yu soldiers are the soldiers and horses used as the last line of defense when our army broke the city gate and when the Zhao army attacked the city gate.In between, we must do our best to preserve the strength of the White Soldiers, even if the soldiers of the White Soldiers can be one enemy and ten, but they can't resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhao Army, once all the White Soldiers are sacrificed, it is time for your father Feiyu to make sacrifices.If you can't set up two barriers, once the city gate is broken, the whole of our Shu Kingdom will be destroyed in an instant, and no one including Your Majesty will be able to escape. ”Guan Suo had never seen Zhuge Liang look so anxious, but he also knew that Zhuge Liang would never exaggerate because of these things, so he said to Zhuge Liang at the moment: "Prime Minister, don't worry, with me here this time, I will definitely live and die with the capital." ”I only heard Zhuge Liang lament: "Alas, this is the best, I really hope that there will not be such a moment, how difficult it is to establish my Shu Kingdom, how can these Zhao troops be easily taken." ”When Xu Shu led the army to evacuate safely and successfully returned to the camp tent, Lu Xun immediately greeted him and asked what was going on.When he learned the results of the siege of the army this time, Lu Xun couldn't help but nod and acquiesce: "Lord Xu Shu's way of attacking the city is very good, presumably Zhuge Liang must be able to see the situation, but he is also helpless.When the next siege comes, as for replacing with elite soldiers and horses, it will inevitably make the Shu army defending the city suffer a big loss, and it will be just around the corner to take Chengdu at that time. ”Although Xu Shu agreed with Lu Xun's words, he didn't fully agree with them, and immediately said: "Zhuge Liang knew me and thought he knew me very well, but he didn't know that I also knew him.Although this siege method is more suitable for paralyzing the enemy army, but we dare not act so rashly, after all, there are still two elite soldiers and horses in Shu, Feiyu Cavalry and Bai Yu Soldiers, although these two soldiers and horses are not as good as our army's camp and the White Tiger Cavalry and other armies, but they are also the elite soldiers of Shu. ”"If you take the liberty of underestimating, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss, this time our army is attacking the city, and what we see is only the general Shu army, and the Shu country has not yet dispatched Bai Yu soldiers.Therefore, Shu also has reservations, with Zhuge Liang's character, he will definitely leave the Flying Feather Cavalry and Bai Yu Soldiers as the last combat force of Shu, but I don't know if it will stay before Chengdu breaks the city, or after the city is broken.We must save two forces and use them to fight against the flying feather cavalry and the white soldiers of Shu in the future, it is better to fight against them with the combat power of ordinary soldiers. ”After Xu Shu's voice was over, Lu Xun couldn't help but shake his head in surprise and said: "I really didn't expect that there are two such powerful troops in the Shu Kingdom, which has opened Lu Xun's eyes, if it weren't for Lord Xu Shu's reminder, Lu Xun would have suffered a dark loss." ”:
