Chapter 235 Siege

The opposite of Chu State and Puzhou in Wu Yue is Southern Juzhou.

The Southern Juzhou was full of monarchs, and the king's confidant Bai Luo occupied Zhicheng.

This city is located in the upper reaches of Pushui. There are mountains in the north and water in the south. It is protected by Qunshu and the guards of the king in the east. It can be said that it has all the advantages of the territory. Tens of thousands of troops stationed in the city are also a security for facing Wu and Yue.

If Urakami Fengjun is defeated or surrenders, and Wu Yue invades, this place will be the last line of defense.

Of course, in the original military discussions of the monarchs of Puxi, there was no intention to provoke this behemoth.

They were already satisfied that they could capture the fief of Shu Zongjun and plunder the food and population.

Baizhishan Road.

The army was winding out. When they passed by Bai Zhijun's fief, the leader of the alliance successively increased their troops. At this time, there were 4,000 soldiers, plus the other three vassals, and the army was over 10,000, boundless and black, bringing people a strong sense of oppression.

Tens of thousands of people are still very different from tens of thousands of troops.

At this time, whether you are marching or setting up camp, there are strong iron-blooded evil spirits and human fortunes, which can drive away ghosts and gods.

After leaving Baizhishan Road, he entered the fief of Shu Zongjun.

This is a place where military strategists must fight. Shu Zongjun built beacon towers at the intersection, and there were also sentry checkpoints. There were camps everywhere on major traffic roads. There were not many guards, only dozens or hundreds of people. When the enemy army arrived, he immediately lit the beacon to warn the rear, and fought with both sides, holding weapons, and trying his best to buy time for the rear.

It is no different to dream of resisting ten thousand people with a corner of land and a hundred soldiers.

"rush!"

"Roar up!"

Nearly ten thousand troops in the rear were pressing the formation. Duan Yu mobilized Wu Cheng's army to advance and ordered the Five Poisons to attack.

Yun Zhongwei was left as the governor by him, and both dragons, snakes, and water dragons were left and right.

The new soldiers who have just been trained have never seen blood. After going through the battle formation, they will never be able to form an army.

However, if the first formation faces high-intensity combat, it is easy to suffer heavy casualties, but this small offensive and defensive battle is just right for training troops.

Although the three monarchs in the rear had the plan to consume the strength of the army with this, how did they know Duan Yu’s mind?

The small village checkpoints along the way just allowed new soldiers of Wu Chengjun to take turns to get some experience.

There are many military tactics, and ten of them are surrounded. The army that has always attacked the city must be at least several or even dozens of times the army that defends the city, because there are city walls that are high and have all the advantages of the land.

However, at this time, the army was coming, with dozens or even hundreds of times the advantage of the troops. From a distance, the flags were like clouds and the long spears were like forests, and the defenders were immediately suppressed, which occupied the harmony of the people.

After half a day of killing, Cheng Jin came to report: "The Lord, you have already captured the camp and captured fifty-one prisoners, seventeen of us killed, and more than thirty serious injuries..."

"Good, keep moving forward!"

This level is the frontier of blocking the Baizhishan Road. Later, the defense is weakened, roughly at the level of the outpost until Shu Zongjun's city.

Duan Yu ordered to advance and set up camps all the way. As the army pointed at, there was almost no one-union enemy.

The surrounding Chu villagers, regardless of the savages, avoided this scene, and even fled to the mountains.

As people on the border, they are used to harassment battles and have their own way of dealing with them to save their lives.

But it is still rare to invade tens of thousands of people, and I can't help but have some bad premonitions.

On the third day, the army drove under the city of Shuzong.

The city is very large, with a circumference of four miles, a city wall of three meters high and two meters thick, with 6,000 households inside. Because of the previous beacon fire, Shu Zongjun was prepared and summoned soldiers from various townships to defend, gathered 2,500 troops, and the four gates were closed, and the defense was very strict.

"This city is solid, with 2,500 guards. Qu Xujun will suffer heavy losses!"

The core of the Ten Thousand People Army Formation, Bai Zhi and other Feng Jun looked at each other, and they all felt a little happy that the plan was successful.

At this time, Duan Yu came in military uniform, and they all smiled and stepped forward to greet him: "Qu Xujun is mighty and has repeatedly attacked the city and plundered the land. We admire him!"

"Stop these empty people!" Duan Yu glared: "It is agreed that four families will attack the city, and our army will be the vanguard all the way, which has been slightly damaged. You must come this time, right?"

Bai Zhijun glanced coldly and saw the generals behind Duan Yu look resentful. He knew that his side could not do too much, otherwise he would be forced to leave and even make a fuss, which would make Shu Zongjun laugh.

Their real purpose this time was to attack Qunshu's fiefdom, gain benefits, and weaken Qu Xujun, but it was just a coincidence, and they did not even think of letting Qu Xujun die here.

Duan Yu also vaguely found out about this attitude and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

If it were him, he would definitely eliminate the enemy first, and then consider what the subsequent situation would be.

However, these vassal kings are used to being arrogant, but they are both rats, claiming to be nobles, and even fighting with the enemy. Even if they capture the leader, they try not to kill them and instead ask for ransom.

It is said that it is a noble demeanor, but in fact it is just a tragic old man.

Or, some unspoken rules have been formed?

Although this is inevitable brought by the feudal system, if Duan Yu has great power, his vassals will slowly do so, but at this time it is a stumbling block, so naturally kick it away without hesitation.

"Well, the attack on the city is naturally the four of us take turns."

After looking at each other, Zhu Yuanfengjun smiled and said, "But for now, we will set up a camp first and we will also rush to build siege equipment!"

At this moment, the army found an open space to set up camp. Bai Zhijun had read military books, and his military management was very organized. He allowed the battalions to be separated by gullies and the camps were very strong. He also ordered craftsmen to make siege equipment, looking like they were free and easy.

The same is true in fact.

It was the time to sow seeds, and the vassals of Chu State wanted to gather the people of the country and recruit large troops to help, which would take at least half a month.

However, Shu Zongjun has a city, guards, and food. It should be no big problem to last for a month.

...

On the third day, the siege began.

Accompanied by the sound of war drums, waves of soldiers held their shields and advanced in the rain of arrows.

First, they blocked the trench outside the city wall, then they boarded a ladder, and climbed up like rows of ants. This is called ant siege.

The soldiers on the city kept shooting arrows downwards and smashing down huge rocks.

Occasionally, some people climbed up the city walls and were immediately stabbed from all directions by spears. They were outnumbered and were like blood-like gourds, screaming and falling down.

"Although these armies are not considered chaotic, they are just like that..."

Qin Feiyu looked at the whole audience and was very disdainful.

"If we follow this method to attack the city, we will need to surround it for at least one month. At that time, Shuchao and Shubao reinforcements will arrive, and we will have to return without success, and at most we will plunder some villages along the way..."

In the past, the vassals fought against each other, and this was the level.

"Qu Yi, Zhu Yuan's soldiers are well equipped and have low fighting spirit. Only Bai Zhi's soldiers are brave, but they just lose their military discipline..." Qin Feiyu looked at them a few more times and sighed.

"Flying Yu, you can compare the soldiers of Qing Kingdom and even the elite soldiers of Yunzhongwei with them, so they will naturally be inferior to them..." Duan Yu laughed.

Qing Kingdom is located in the four battles, and the elite troops of the mainland are famous all over the world.

And these four coalition forces with tens of thousands of families are not even first-class in Wu and Yue, but they are only second-class in terms of level. Naturally, no matter how you look at them, they don’t like them.

After chatting for a few words, we talked about the main topic: "How is the arrangement in the city?"

"Please rest assured, Wu Ji had lived in Chu, learned Chu Yin, and pretended to be a businessman in Qingguo, without any flaws..." Qin Feiyu said in a low voice: "The daughter stayed in the fiefdom, and our elites were accompanying her, so there was no problem with loyalty. At that time, we should cooperate inside and outside, and we will definitely make the city defense flaws. Of course... After waiting for a few days, the soldiers guarding the city will be exhausted, the effect will be better!"

"That's good!"

Duan Yu's head.

In ancient times, if there were no artillery and other powerful weapons to siege the city, it would be extremely difficult to capture the city. There were often examples where a hundred thousand troops besieged the city for several years and still could not be compromised. We had to wait until the city was short of food before we could collapse without fighting.

Because the city is strong and safe, the nearby population and wealth are constantly gathering into the city, and there is no fuel or water in the countryside.

If you want to make a big fortune, you must break the city, but the casualties are too heavy to bear.

In addition, there is only one who can use a plan to attack the heart, so that the defenders in the city will automatically open the city and surrender, or bribe the spies and secretly offer the city.

Of course, this world has extraordinary power, and it is different.

If Duan Yu wants to break this city, he will only order Qin Feiyu to take the hidden dragon and snake soldiers, regardless of casualties, and then cooperate with the army to attack the entire line, and he will break in one day.

But it can reduce damage, so why bother?

Duan Yu hid Yun Zhongwei, but as the governor, ordered Wu Cheng's army to continue to attack the city.

After seven days, each family lost hundreds of losses, and the defenders in the city were exhausted.

In the camp, the four vassals gathered again.

"The spies come to report, Shu Chao and Shu Bao have each raised 3,000 troops to help! We will arrive within three days!"

Qu Yijun looked at the fine wine and delicacies in front of him and completely lost his appetite.

Zhu Yuanjun's face was also gloomy: "I didn't expect that the city's resistance was so tenacious, and I had to capture the city immediately! Otherwise, I would have to retreat."

He had to withdraw so many people but lost them in shame. Even if he could rob the surrounding villages, he still felt a little unwilling to accept it.

"After seven days in the city, the guards were also very sleepy..."

Bai Zhijun held up the wine jury and suddenly looked at Duan Yu: "I see that Wu Cheng's army has a foundation for advance and retreat, but it is really an elite. I also heard that Qu Xujun established his authority that day and broke the Xu family fort one day. It can be seen that there must be people under his command who are trapped in battle. This time, we have to rely on Qu Xujun to attack the city!"

After saying this, Qu Yi and Zhu Yuan also repeatedly called it.

Duan Yu's elite team of 500 people has not been used, so they can see it.

In fact, they also understand this very well. They also kept hundreds of elite troops who had spent a lot of money. At critical moments, either the Pojun killed the generals or the guards escaped. This was the last trump card and they had not taken it out to attack the city before.

"If I want me to be the main force, what are the benefits of me?"

Duan Yu held Jiu Jue with an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth.

"We have not divided it long ago. After the city is broken, all gold, silver, pearls and jade belong to you."

Seeing Duan Yu having a compromise, Zhu Yuanjun immediately became energetic.

"not enough!"

Duan Yu shook his head: "There are also the city's COFCO warehouse and the arsenal, so we have to give priority to our army, how about it?"

"Since that's the case, that's the final word!"
