Chapter 165: The hawk tactics

Su Ming stood on the city wall and looked down, while Zhang He looked up from below.

At this moment, both Su Ming and Zhang He's eyes were focused on the battlefield.

After beating again and again, Zhang He felt something was wrong.

Why is it harder to fight today than yesterday?

It stands to reason that the enemy troops in the city are seriously lacking in strength, and yesterday's fierce attack should have depleted their troops to 7788%.

Today, we should play better.

From morning to noon, Zhang He's two waves of troops took turns attacking for several hours, but they failed to scale the city wall like yesterday.

At this moment, Zhang He hesitated!

Originally, Zhang He thought that after the two waves of armies took turns attacking for several hours, at least some of the troops would be able to capture part of the city wall like yesterday.

At this time, he asked his Euphorbia warriors to mix with the third wave of soldiers to expand the victory and capture Ye City in one fell swoop.

However, now that the first two waves of armies have been attacking for several hours, they have not even reached the city wall.

Not to mention climbing the city wall, we didn’t even touch the base of the wall!

At this time, if he sends a third wave of troops.

If the third wave of armies fails to achieve a breakthrough, the siege in those days will come to an end.

Zhang He also understood that he couldn't afford to delay him. Once Cao Cao's reinforcements came from behind to outflank him, it would be all over.

For a moment, Zhang He hesitated.

He was hesitating whether to send a third wave of troops and his ace Euphorbia.

Euphorbia is also Zhang He's last trump card. If this trump card is played and it doesn't have a miraculous effect, then Zhang He will be at the end of his game.

"Military advisor, our estimate seems to be wrong."

"The enemy's strength is far greater than we imagined!" Zhang He said in a deep voice towards Tian Feng.

Originally, Zhang He thought that the number of enemy troops in the city was only two to three thousand at most, and it was absolutely impossible to exceed three thousand.

But looking at it now, it should be far more than that.

What Zhang He didn't know was that only 800 of Su Ming's men were trapped in the camp, and the remaining troops and horses were all lent to him by aristocratic families.

Tian Feng also nodded slightly. Today was already the second day of the battle. As a military advisor, Tian Feng naturally saw this.

Tian Feng not only saw this, he also figured out where these troops came from.

"Aristocratic family!"

"If this Cao army can capture Yecheng, it must be because there is a traitor inside and outside."

"Now it seems that not only did someone cooperate with them inside and outside to capture Yecheng, but they also sent troops to help them defend the city." Tian Feng said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhang He suddenly became furious and cursed angrily: "These moths usually make a lot of money, but at critical moments they actually add insult to injury."

The situation is now like this, no matter how angry you are, it's useless.

"General Junyi is not angry. Now the top priority is to capture Yecheng."

"Capture Yecheng, and it won't be too late to deal with these traitors." After Tian Feng comforted Zhang He, he continued: "We must capture Yecheng!"

"Only by capturing Yecheng can the eldest son Yuan Tan's succession be justified."

In the battle of Guandu, it can be said that Yuan Jun was completely defeated.

Yuan Shao is also dead, and everything is irreversible.

Now, everything has to look forward.

The bottom line in Tian Feng's heart is to capture Yecheng and use Yecheng as the boundary to rule the country by dividing the territory with Cao Cao.

The south of Yecheng was returned to Cao Cao, which was regarded as the spoils of Cao Cao's victory in this battle.

The area north of Yecheng belonged to the eldest son, Yuan Tan, and was still considered the territory of the old Yuan family.

However, the old Yuan family has always had serious internal conflicts.

At the beginning, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were all fighting over who should be the heir.

Now, Yuan Shang is dead.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are both good at fighting.

If Zhang He can capture Yecheng and invite Yuan Tan to come to Yecheng to take charge of the overall situation, then Yuan Tan's succession to the throne will be justified.

By that time, even if Yuan Xi was dissatisfied, he could only endure it.

But if Zhang He cannot capture Yecheng, then Yuan Tan will have no choice but to inherit his position in Qingzhou.

Yecheng is Yuan Shao's base camp. If he cannot inherit his position in Yecheng, it will not be justified.

By that time, I am afraid that even if Yuan Tan succeeds Yuan Shao in Qingzhou, Yuan Xi will definitely succeed in Youzhou.

During the Battle of Guandu, the old Yuan family's vitality was severely damaged. If these two brothers fought among themselves, Cao Cao would definitely be the winner.

Therefore, Yecheng has now become the most important place at this stage.

Whether Cao Cao can capture half of the north or the entire north depends on whether Su Ming can hold Ye City.

Zhang He naturally understood what Tian Feng said.

Zhang He said to Tian Feng earnestly: "Military advisor, I know everything you said."

"What I'm worried about now is that I won't be able to go to Yecheng!"

"Su Mingzhi is invincible in terms of bravery, and Zhang Wenyuan is there to help him. I'm afraid I'm powerless!"

At this time, Zhang He felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

From the Wuchao fire, to the defeat of Guandu, to the loss of Yecheng, Yuan Shao was killed.

All of this can be said to have come too suddenly.

Zhang He, there was no preparation at all.

Tian Feng also knew that all the burden now fell on Zhang He.

Zhang He is under a lot of pressure, which is normal.

As a military advisor, Tian Feng should do his best to help Zhang He share the pressure.

After Tian Feng pondered for a while, he said to Zhang He: "Jun Yi, now is not the time to worry about casualties."

"We have to adjust our tactics! Best, we can capture Yecheng today."

Hearing Tian Feng's words, Zhang He quickly said: "Commander, can you tell me how to adjust it?"

Tian Feng stroked his beard and said to Zhang He: "The third wave of troops will not move yet, and neither will the Euphorbia soldiers."

"Order that the first and second wave of soldiers continue to attack in turn and storm Yecheng at all costs."

"Continue to attack for a few more hours to see when the enemy's city defense has a loophole, and when will the third wave of soldiers and Euphorbia soldiers attack."

"If there are still no loopholes in the enemy's city defense until dark, then let the third wave of troops attack the city overnight."

"We attacked the city day and night. If we could not take it in one day, we would not stop day and night."

"We don't have much time left. It may take three to five days at a later date, or two or three days at a later time. Cao Cao's reinforcements will surely arrive."

Let the first and second waves of soldiers continue to attack the city. In this way, the casualties of the first and second waves of troops will definitely increase significantly.

Similarly, if the third wave of soldiers and Euphorbia soldiers attack the city at night, the casualties will inevitably be considerable.

This style of play is actually the eagle-burning tactic.

Before, I only played during the day, and I could rest at night, eat something, and get a good night's sleep.

If you play this way, you won't even have time to eat or sleep.

This is a strategy that kills the enemy eight hundred and damages one thousand six.

However, Zhang He's troops were far more powerful than Su Ming's.

If he really fought like this, maybe Su Ming wouldn't be able to survive him.

Su Ming's troops are few and cannot be used up!

Five Zhang He died and one Su Ming died, so all of Su Ming's soldiers must have died first.
