Three hundred and forty-eight chapters surround three Que one
On the hour of Xu.
The sun has set, and there is still a glimmer of light on the horizon.
Ji Bu roared and waved his sword forward, announcing that tonight's siege battle had begun!
Forty-five thousand troops, under the command of Ji Bu, launched an attack on the south city, east city and north city of Daliang at the same time using the orthodox method of encircling three buildings.
It is different from the superficial trials and tribulations during the day.
In this battle after nightfall, Ji Bu assumed a posture of destroying the city in one battle!
While he stabilized his position, he constantly adjusted the priorities of the three-pronged offensive, fighting for morale and tenacity with the defenders on top of the city.
On the one hand, they used a large number of siege equipment that had not appeared during the day, which offset some of the advantages of the city and reversed the unfavorable battle conditions for their own side.
Such as zip lines, ladders, arrow towers, chariots, rams, catapults...
The red-coated soldiers who really started playing tricks were so bad that the soldiers of the Luoyi Forbidden Army who were guarding the city couldn't believe it. They were in a hurry and exhausted, and everyone had the illusion that they were local leopards!
The Red Coat Army is so famous for its sports and field warfare that many armies fighting against the Red Coat Army have forgotten that the most famous thing about Chen County, besides the Red Coat Army, is the Jixia Academy!
As an emerging force, the Han Dynasty was at its most vigorous, and its speed of development and innovation were astonishingly fast!
Every month, new equipment will be sent to the Red Army to test its practicality, and every six months, new combat equipment will begin to be installed...
As far as Chen Sheng knew, the well-fed master craftsmen at Meihua Villa had already begun to think about the steam engine after thinking about the blast furnace!
Chen Sheng didn't bother to care about those stubborn donkeys. Before he found a substance that could replace rubber for sealing, he himself couldn't do anything about it, let alone the group of civil servants. Anyway, those stubborn donkeys had hit the wall enough, so naturally he couldn't do anything about it. I knew I was hitting another wall.
Let’s get back to the point.
The appearance of numerous siege equipment not only made the Imperial Guard soldiers defending the city scrambled and exhausted.
Wang Li, who was commanding the defense of the city, was also beaten to a pulp and was fighting fires everywhere. The reserve team originally reserved for leading the army had to go to the battlefield early to repair the gaps in the walls.
But Wang Ben, who was sitting in the camp, looked at the unfavorable battle reports from the city walls flying into the commander's tent like snow flakes, but felt a little puzzled in his heart, and thought to himself, 'What kind of battle is this, my nephew?'
After all, the Wang family is also a family of generals. It is impossible for him to know everything about such a bad street strategy as Wei Sanque Yi.
The essence of the "Three Ques and One Que" strategy is of course the word "que". It is a clever psychological tactic that moves from reality to imaginary, forcing the defenders to abandon the city and flee.
But in actual operation, the focus is on the word "wai"!
How to "surround", there is a lot of explanation!
Since you want to use "siege" to convey pressure to the defenders in the city and force them to abandon the city and flee, then you must at least convey the pressure to the city, right?
How can pressure be conveyed to the enemy troops defending the city?
That is of course an advantage!
Offensive advantage, troop advantage, etc.!
In short, it is a purpose. You have to make the defenders of the city feel: "Damn it, this city defense is about to be unstoppable. If you don't want to die, you have to leave quickly..."
Therefore, the "encirclement" method of encircling three palaces and one battle is very important!
Generally speaking, one or two groups feint to attack, creating an opportunity for the other group or two groups to gather heavy troops to break through the city's defense line, and put pressure on the enemy forces defending the city through frequent climbs.
It’s not that there aren’t all three routes of feint attacks, and the main force is forced to ignore the rabbits and don’t let the hawks play, but those are all tricks that can only be done by veteran generals with excellent skills. If you are so late in skills, you will only put yourself at risk.
People's morale was shattered.
As for the general who leads the army by encircling three towers and attacking three gates at the same time, there is no need to have the slightest doubt that he must be someone who pretends to understand.
Big idiot!
You must know that the city defender has the advantages of the city defender, such as the advantages of the city, being condescending, waiting for work in leisure, etc.
But the siege team actually has the advantage of the siege team, that is, initiative and mobility. Especially when attacking a city like Daliang that is open on all sides, the siege army has complete freedom to choose to assemble heavy troops and focus on attacking a city gate to break the surface.
...The operation is not difficult, it only requires night blessing and a few feint troops to cover it, and that's it!
Think about it, the defenders of the city did not know which gate the enemy would focus on to attack, so they dispersed the defenders to the four walls to prepare for the attack. As a result, the enemy assembled 80% of their troops and stormed up from one wall.
Isn’t this advantage big enough?
Giving up such a huge advantage, dividing the army into three groups to attack three city gates at the same time, and forcefully attacking the city to defeat the generals who defended the city, what else can they be but idiots?
If it weren't for the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Luoyi Forbidden Army was too different from that of the red-coated army, he would now gather his superior troops and go out of the city, and hit any of them hard, and he would be able to make the red-coated army unable to eat and go around in circles.
Then, the problem comes...
Is Chen Sheng an idiot?
Obviously not. If he is an idiot, then 99% of the world are idiots.
But he just made the siege look like this...
Wang Ben has been stationed at the Great Wall for more than 20 years, and has rich experience in defending the city.
He could judge the situation of both the enemy and ourselves by simply listening to the intensity of the killing cries from three directions.
Coupled with the battle reports sent back from the three city walls...
He could tell that no matter how fiercely the Red Army fought now, they would retreat even more fiercely later!
Don't mention any siege equipment or not. No matter how good the equipment is, it still has to be used by people!
No one can get in, and no matter how sharp the equipment is, it's just a decoration.
This made him really confused about Chen Sheng's intentions.
You can't stay awake for such a long time at night, is it just to test their fighting ability?
That's not like Chen Sheng's style...
Wang Ben thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt!
…
Just when Wang Ben was thinking about it in every possible way.
Hundreds of rangers wearing leather armor and black scarves, holding bright swords, shuttled through the alleys and rooftops with agility like apes.
From all directions, they gathered towards the west gate.
"Brother, brother!"
Waves of low calls penetrated Zhang Er's ears.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Yu, who was carrying a long bow on his back and a sword on his waist, chasing after him.
"When do you have to say it now?"
He asked in a low voice, somewhat impatiently.
When Chen Yu heard the difference in his tone, he frowned a little unhappily, but still clasped his fists and said, "Brother, please come first, brother, please do it!"
