Chapter 920 Storm (4)
Li Ru is ordering troops.
Outside the city, the former Dong Zhuo army had already gathered, and the battle to siege and defend the city was about to start outside Linru City.
Above the city, Yang Hanrong looked speechlessly at the enemy army outside the city that surrounded the entire city: "Why is Li Ru so difficult to deal with? He actually trapped me in the city?"
"Shangshu Ling, the enemy is already preparing to attack the city. How should we arrange to defend the city?" Looking at Yang Hanrong who was sulking, Gao Shun didn't know what to say.
Turning his head, Yang Hanrong said in surprise: "You are General Zhennan and the highest military general in Linru City. How to arrange this war? Shouldn't you ask yourself?"
"I will follow the orders of the Shangshutai." Gao Shun decided not to worry about the people in front of him. After receiving the order, he walked down the city wall silently.
The soldiers, weapons, large offensive and defensive equipment, the main civil and military combatants, inside and outside Linru City, the soldiers and horses on both sides were shouting and putting their own strength on the table.
There are also many things that are not on the table, each preparing them in private.
The sharp crossbow arrows, huge catapults, and exquisite military configurations seemed to be on the verge of war.
However, after half a day, the two sides did not look like they were formally fighting. Especially Li Ru's side, they acted like a large-scale attack on the city, but there was no sound at all.
"What is Li Ru doing? I haven't moved for a long time?" Yang Hanrong was very confused when she looked at the actions of the enemy outside the city.
The enemy had already besieged the city, and all the weapons and horses were ready, but they just didn't take action. This situation was too strange.
"Hey, what are you asking?" Yang Hanrong looked at Gao Shunmu, who looked dull, and was very dissatisfied with him standing beside him like a wooden man, and didn't know how to respond to her question.
"I reported to the Secretary of State, but my subordinates didn't know about this matter. Shun was only good at war, and this plot was not what the generals were good at." Gao Shun didn't say much, but answered in a realistic manner.
Yang Hanrong rolled her eyes and said helplessly: "Forget it, I can't even tell you a piece of wood."
"What kind of conspiracy is it?" Yang Hanrong was muttering something, and her little head shook and she thought of many things.
Gao Shun stood on one side without looking sideways. Facing the Shangshu Ling who always made new slaughter, he would be better off pretending to be a wooden man as smart as him.
"Conspiracy? Conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy would it be? I can't figure it out?" Yang Hanrong murmured as if she was obsessed with her.
"Oh, our Shangshu Ling is crazy again." A veteran stood at the top of the city and shook his head, whispering to another recruit.
"Shangshuling often did this?" the recruit asked in fear, looking at the petite and pretty little girl with a little fear in her eyes.
"It's not often like this, it's just that sometimes the devil is so crazy that it can't stand it." The veteran replied.
Above the city wall, Yang Hanrong, wearing a skirt, was still muttering on the top of the city wall.
...
After a few days, there was still no battle in Linru City. Both sides only formed formations, but did not officially start the war.
...
Xingan City, this is a county town in the central part of Yuzhang County.
The city level is intermediate, and the city that is more than ten miles long and wide is besieged by millions of soldiers.
In contrast to the tranquility of Linru City, the city war here is in full swing.
Sun Ce's army, who was sieging the city, attacked from the west of Linru City.
The siege and defending the city used almost all large-scale equipment, siege ladders, catapults, crossbows, arrow towers, etc., but the figure of the most important siege car was not seen.
There were no soldiers and generals from Sun Ce’s side attacks at the city gate. The siege soldiers and horses were fiercely leaning on the siege ladder to climb the city to fight. The entire siege battle became the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.
"Xingan City Wall: Because of powder mixed with the war zone fragments, the city wall and the earth are extremely strong, and attacks below myth level are invalid."
This is the attributes of Xingan City walls and city gates, and the real function of the war zone fragments.
After obtaining the war zone fragments, Yang Tao crushed a war zone fragment into powder and applied them to the cities, important places of various counties in Yuzhang County, as well as a few territorial buildings in the north such as Luoyang, Chang'an, and Hulao, greatly strengthening the solidity of the buildings.
When Sun Ce led his army to attack, the gate of Xingan County was so strong that it was unimaginable. The special siege cone that he had worked hard to get was broken, but the center of the cone as thick as a water tank was broken, but the gate did not leave any trace.
As a last resort, the army had no choice but to give up attacking the city gate, rely on arrow towers, throw stone carts to suppress the attack on the city head, and attack by siege ladders and climbing the city walls.
Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others attacked the defensive army on different city walls in Xingan City.
Three sieges and one siege, three sides attack, and one side set up an ambush.
On the East Gate wall, every time Sun Ce takes action, he can kill thousands of legendary soldiers by dancing the Overlord Spear in his hand.
The soldiers of Yuzhang County who were guarding the city fell in large numbers, without a single place.
However, the solidity of the city wall greatly restricted his epic ability, and he could not decide the outcome of the battle between the East City Wall with one person.
Dozens of epic military generals from the defenders on the city wall surrounded him and attacked fiercely, entangling Sun Ce's footsteps.
After fighting for a long time, he had killed more than a dozen epic generals of the enemy. Several epic scribes holding strange objects did not see the number of epic enemies besieging him by his side. Instead, there was a tendency to increase.
The same is true on the city walls of Huang Gai and others. Even because Huang Gai and others were still at the epic level, facing the siege of dozens of generals of the same level, they were driven down from the city walls without even standing.
The siege army was in the north and the siege on both sides of the south was not smooth, and the casualties were much greater than those of the defenders.
With the smoke of gunpowder, another fierce siege battle passed.
In addition to Sun Ce's attack on the city with his legendary combat power at the East Gate, the casualties of the troops on the other two sides were extremely serious.
And this is the fifth day that Sun Ce's millions of troops attacked Xingan City.
After withdrawing the troops and returning to the camp, Sun Ce and others counted their own soldiers and generals, their hearts were so painful.
In just one day, the army suffered 100,000 casualties, of which tens of thousands of legendary soldiers were killed and injured under the city of Xingan.
Among Sun Ce's nearly five million army, the legendary soldiers were only one million. After five consecutive days of siege, 600,000 soldiers and nearly 80,000 legendary soldiers were still unable to shake the Xingan City.
"In the past five days, our army has killed more than 500,000 defenders, more than 50,000 legendary soldiers, and dozens of epic people. It is not that the local soldiers and horses in the Yu Kingdom were deployed by three schools and three lieutenants. A small county town has only more than 10,000 legends at most. Why is the soldiers and horses in this county town dozens of times the regulations? Could it be that the soldiers and horses of the entire Yuzhang County are concentrated here?"
In the camp, Sun Ce, who had been attacking for five days for a row, had questions in his head.
Judging from the current situation, the defenders in Xingan City should be more than one million. What’s even more terrifying is that there are hundreds of epic civil and military personnel.
In addition to the small number of legendary soldiers, the combat power of a county town is no less than that of a legion under the jurisdiction of General Zhennan!
Just a county town with such powerful soldiers and horses to defend the city, Sun Ce and others thought that the troops from all Yuzhang County must have gathered together to resist their strong attacks so stubbornly.
"Young Master, why don't we go around Xingan City and go deep into the hinterland of Yuzhang. At this time, the hinterland of Yuzhang will inevitably be empty, so we can fight down." Huang Gai, as a military advisor, made his suggestion to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce agreed with Huang Gai's words and immediately issued a military order: "What I want to overturn is the same as mine. He sent a command to the army, and the second update to set up a stove, and the third update to pull out the camp, and the troops remain silent. He took advantage of the night to sneak attack the counties of Yuzhang!"
