Chapter 1061

Zhang Yu and Cao Cao did not chat twice before the war.

Don't think it's nonsense to fight. It's related to the morale of the two armies, so it's not meaningless.

Zhang Yu has the upper hand and is aggressive.

Cao Cao had no choice but to go back after a while.

After Cao Cao went back, he watched from the top of the city.

"Lord, go back quickly. The catapult has no eyes." Cheng Yu advised.

Cheng Yu and Zhang Yu see that they have started to install the catapult.

Once the catapult starts to attack, the roar can make people have nightmares for a few days.

But Cao Cao and they were not very nervous. At this time, they also installed a lot of pitching carts on the top of the city, so it was not sure who would win or lose.

Cao Cao's cold eyes looked down, this decisive battle, very different.

"Let's go."

Cao Cao looked for a while, two words came out of his mouth, showing helplessness and coldness.

Cheng Yu and other counselors followed him down the wall.

They don't know when Zhang Yu will attack.

Zhang Yu is not in a hurry to launch an attack, but is waiting.

His arrangement has been completed, and the attack can be launched only after Fusang's army arrives.

A few days later, the Fusang army arrived. Zhang Yu asked them to rest for a day, and then they were ready to attack.

All kinds of cloud ladders have long been built, and Zhang Yu is ready to fight.

At the same time, the enemy's catapult began to attack.

The soldiers of both sides are fighting desperately, and the catapults fight against each other in the air.

From time to time, the catapult was smashed.

Both sides of the soldiers are scalp numbness, this roaring stone, hit is a spread of meat mud.

But they are soldiers and have no choice.

"Attack."

The catapult crashed for an hour, and Zhang Yu ordered the attack.

Tens of thousands of Fusang troops and tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops began to charge.

After Zhang Yu ordered the attack, he went to the rear to observe. He didn't have to fight in person. Several generals were also in charge of the battle.

The army began to attack and the army stormed up.

The bloody battle began, Zhang Yu side, the army has been pounding the barracks.

The army of the Tang Dynasty was brave and fearless. After the attack began, they attacked the city wall all the time.

The catapult roared back and forth, and Zhang Yu ordered him to throw the wine jar and burn it on the wall.

But the army at the head of the city was prepared to cover it with sand, which did not cause much trouble.

The war continued, arrows flying.

There are beginning to be casualties on both sides.

The soldiers on both sides worked very hard.

Zhang Yu is in the rear and looks at all this calmly. I don't know how many people will die this time, but no matter how many people will die, we have to fight.

Since the bloody battle began, it has not stopped. For five consecutive days, more than 20000 people have died.

The battle for the city wall has always been very fierce.

Zhang Yu continued to burn the wall with fire, and a large number of pottery pots were thrown up and burned on the surface of the wall.

Zhang Yu tried to crack the wall so that the catapult could break it open.

Cao Jun's defense is also very good, so the two sides have a tug of war.

After fighting for several days, Zhang Yu knew that this battle was not easy at all.

"The essence of Cao Jun is here, dragging them."

Zhang Yu thought of the war in the north, when Zhang Liao's attack was smooth.

Zhang Yu's troops occupy a great advantage. He will supplement as much as he consumes. At this time, he has enough ability to launch a war in the south, and the north can also support a war.

Zhang Yu immediately increased Zhang Liao's forces and sent Guo Jia to assist him.

Both sides fight together, Zhang Yu is not so anxious.

Zhao Yun and 50000 troops have been guarding against the garrison of Lu'an.

Originally, Cao Jun thought that Zhang Yu would go to fight Lu'an first. After all, Lu'an is less difficult, but Zhang Yu didn't, so he always attacked Shouchun city.

In the twinkling of an eye, it has been a month since Zhang Yu attacked Shouchun city.

In one month, Zhang Yu lost 170000 troops, half of which were Fusang troops.

When Fusang's army was almost exhausted, Zhang Yu withdrew them and could not let them continue, otherwise they would collapse.

Although it was Fusang army, there was no need to die.

Fusang's madness is not without effect.

At this time, the city wall was full of holes and many places were broken.

Cao Jun also lost about 110000 troops, which was very hard.

Cao Cao was always in a bad mood and the battle was hard.

"The strength of Zhang Yu's attack didn't weaken at all. He won't stop until he breaks through Shouchun." Cao Cao said helplessly.

At this time, Cao Cao is more old, too many things need him to worry about.

They were well prepared for the battle, but it was still more difficult than he expected.

"If Cao Cao can be trapped in it, and his generals, I'm afraid the Cao army group will be worried." Zhang Yu thought.

Cao's army was surrounded by support and backed by the rear, so they didn't worry.

But Zhang Yu is more powerful.

"They were forced to support by the troops from other places."

Zhang Yu suddenly doesn't want to fight.

He doesn't fight any more. It's too tired to fight such a big city.

"Order the whole army to retreat two Li and begin to prepare for defense."

Zhang Yu's order puzzled many people, but he resolutely carried it out.

The army suddenly retreated, which made Cao Cao very puzzled, and quickly led his counselors to the city.

"What is Zhang Yu going to do?"

Several counsellors were also at a loss.

"Zhang Yu made up his mind and didn't care about the casualties. Maybe this time they suffered a lot of casualties and wanted to use other troops to make up for the huge casualties." Cheng Yu said.

Cheng Yu speculates that Zhang Yu will form a new Fusang army.

But Zhang Yu has no such plan.

Two days later, Zhang Yu and they have been building defense there, without any action.

After the construction of defense, Zhang Yu ordered to dig trenches.

Digging trenches?

This makes more people do not understand, you are the siege side, not the defensive side, dig what trench.

"Does Zhang Yu want to flood our Shouchun city?" On the head of the city, Xu you said with a cold hum.

The water system around Shouchun city is very developed, but the geographical location makes it impossible for them to flood the city.

Huang Zhong was also puzzled. After arranging everything, he came and asked, "Lord, is this to trap Cao Jun in it? This Shouchun city is supplied by Poyang Lake. It has plenty of food and water. I'm afraid they can't be trapped in this year and a half. "

Zhang Yu said with a smile, "we can't do that either. The people must be the first to suffer. I just want Cao Cao to stay and recuperate."

rest?

Zhang Yu saw Huang Zhong puzzled, and then said: "Cao Cao and his generals are inside, we trapped them, so that they can't handle government affairs normally, and then Zhang Liao of the North slowly attacked and bit by bit eroded their territory."

Huang Zhongcai understood Zhang Yu's plan. Zhang Yu didn't want to strangle Cao Cao, but to make Cao's whole high-level army unable to deal with military affairs effectively.

However, is it really worthwhile?

To trap a city, it is not easy for the army to defend it.
