Chapter 340: It is difficult to break the enemy and break the city
"Leaving the city!?" Chu Nan looked at the open city gate and Cao's army surging out, and did not expect that the other party would react like this.
Is Cao Jun so violent now?
While talking, Qin Qi had already led his troops to the front of the battle.
"Line up!" Yuan Tan waved his hand, and the army quickly formed a formation.
Qin Qi came to the front of the formation, threw the counselor's head in front of the formation, and shouted sternly: "This is Qin Qi, where is Chu Nan, why haven't you come out to die!?"
Chu Nan was a little confused when he heard this. What does it have to do with him? What did that person say when he went in?
"Zi Yan recognizes this person?" Yuan Tan asked curiously.
"I've never heard of it." Chu Nan shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xiansi, don't worry about this. Since the enemy troops leave the city, it's time to defeat them!"
Yuan Tan nodded, this was exactly the reason, and immediately shouted: "Kill!"
As the number one general in Qingzhou, Cen Bi rushed to the front, but this time, after being tortured by Xiahou Yuan and Zhou Cang one after another, he was not as arrogant as before, and launched the attack very cautiously, fearing that the other party would fight with Xiahou Dun again.
Zhoucang is like a general, it's like a 40-meter sword.
It was obviously a charge, but they used the motionless mountain formation and slowly advanced.
Seeing this, Qin Qi didn't understand what the other party wanted to do, but she understood the intention and sneered: "When I break your army formation and capture Chu Nan alive, kill him!"
Cao Jun, led by Qin Qi, rolled in. The battle formations of both sides collided with each other. The scene that Cen Bi was worried about did not appear. The battle formations were in a stalemate. His own battle formation finally blocked the others for once, which made Cen Bi slightly relieved.
But when Qin Qi saw this, she became even more fierce. She rushed to the front in person, allowing the two sides' battle formations to merge quickly. If there was a slight gap, she immediately rushed out on horseback and slashed at the wall with her sword.
Cen Bi quickly raised his gun to stop him, then took advantage of the situation and fought with Qin Qi, and the soldiers of both sides also killed together.
Qin Qi was now full of anger. Although Cen Bi regained some confidence, he soon became unable to resist.
Zong Wang saw that Cen Bi was unable to withstand the enemy, and immediately wanted to send troops to help, but was stopped by Yuan Tan, who pointed in the direction of the city wall and said: "Now that the main force of the rebel army has come out, why not take this opportunity to break the city?"
Chu Nan frowned when he heard this. Although Qin Qi looked reckless, she could be appointed to guard the rear after all. It was impossible for the city to be defenseless, right?
He immediately advised: "Brother Xiansi, although the enemy generals are out, the city may not be unprepared. Attacking the city at this time may not be useful. It is better to join forces and destroy the enemy in front of you first, then it will be easier to break the city."
Yuan Tan shook his head and said with a smile: "Zi Yan is not familiar with the art of war. If he attacks Qin Qi from a flank at this time, he can win, but if he retreats to the city and defends it, won't we miss this opportunity to destroy the city in vain?"
Chu Nan nodded and didn't try to persuade him any more. Firstly, this is someone else's army. How it is used is their business. If you have any questions, it's up to others to accept or not accept them. Secondly...he just used his own attitude towards using the army.
Judgment: Calculate defeat before calculating victory, but what Yuan Tan said seems to make sense. Maybe there is really no one in the city?
Although I think the probability is low, it’s not wrong to give it a try. It’s not yours anyway, so I won’t feel bad if I lose it.
Zong Wang received the general's order and immediately led his troops to attack the city from the other side. At the same time, Yuan Tan ordered people to beat drums to encourage Cen Bi to continue to struggle with Qin Qi.
Cen Bi was in trouble at the moment. Although he met someone who was not much different from him, after fighting for dozens of times, he was already at the end of his rope. But Qin Qi was so angry in her chest that she killed with a ferocity similar to that of the Vietnam War.
The appearance of greater courage.
Taking advantage of a fight, Cen Bi quickly retreated into the army and commanded his troops to kill him. Since he couldn't defeat him in a single fight, he should be compared to the commander-in-chief.
The battle formations of both sides have been completely integrated. While the soldiers are fighting, the formations have begun to gradually dissipate. A powerful commander can keep the formations intact during the battle. For example, when Cao and Lu were fighting on the bank of Ying, the formations of the two sides merged and almost formed an army.
In the same world, Cao Jun's officers and men can still rely on the power of thousands of troops, and Lu Bu can do the same.
But the two sides fighting now are obviously not at that level. The power of the military formation is getting weaker and weaker during the fight. However, Qin Qi becomes more and more courageous as he fights without Cenbi to intercept him. He fights in the chaos of the army, under heavy sword clouds.
, Qingzhou soldiers almost died when they touched them, and died when they touched them.
Seeing that if he continued to charge like this, his soldiers would completely collapse, but Yuan Tan's war drums from behind became more and more exciting. Cen Bi gritted his teeth and could only hold out his gun and fight again.
On the other side, Zongwang attacked the city but encountered a head-on attack.
Attacking a city is a thankless task, especially when there are no heavy equipment, the siege can only cost people's lives. When Chu Nan attacked Xuchang, he first caused Xuchang's internal chaos, and then
A large number of siege equipment were prepared, and then the siege began.
Throughout the siege history of the Xuzhou Army, in fact, none of them was achieved by force, whether it was Guangling, Shouchun, Jianghuai, or even Xuchang later.
Therefore, when Yuan Tan saw the enemy's main force leaving the city and wanted to attack by force, Chu Nan instinctively rejected it. Even if this method of siege was finally captured, it would be a miserable victory.
And the fact is as Chu Nan feared. As soon as the Qingzhou Army arrived at the city, they were hit head-on by various defensive equipment at the top of the city, such as kerosene, rolling logs, stones and arrows. Although from the perspective of a bystander,
Look, the defense of the city is not very strong. If there are sufficient preparations, the cooperation of various large-scale siege equipment, and capable generals or counselors, it is really possible to conquer the city by force.
However, there are no large-scale siege equipment now, and Zong Wang's capable generals are obviously some distance away, so when the siege begins, they will encounter a head-on attack.
When the military formation reaches the city wall, it is no longer sustainable. This is the time to test the use of the military formation. A powerful general can maintain the existence of the military formation during the siege, but obviously not here.
Chu Nan was used to seeing the power of battle formations displayed by top generals, and now seeing Zong Wang's battle formations, Chu Nan was a little bit indifferent.
Not surprisingly, Zongwang's attack on the city failed, and he was defeated in embarrassment after leaving more than a thousand corpses with his troops.
Qin Qi, who was fighting fiercely with Cen Bi, saw this scene and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, that's all!"
As he spoke, the force of the sword became more fierce, and Cenbi could not resist the enemy. He was slashed by the sword, defeated, and the military formation was completely shattered.
When Yuan Tan saw this, his expression changed, and he quickly led the Chinese army to meet him, and then blocked Qin Qi.
Chu Nan took Zhou Cang and his 200 personal guards to avoid the retreating defeated troops and stayed away from the battle formation. Yuan Tan's middle army was not large. Zong Wang and Cen Bi obviously found it difficult to gather the defeated troops in time to rescue Yuan.
Tan.
After observing for a moment, Chu Nan said: "Zhou Cang!"
"Here!" Zhou Cang shouted.
Chu Nan pointed in the direction of Qin Qi: "Maybe kill this person?"
Zhou Cang said: "Yes!"
"Come on!" Chu Nan shouted.
"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed, Chu Nan waved his hand, and the battle formation rose into the air. After Chu Nan used the same secret of wind, the two hundred people were more than twice as fast. Following Chu Nan's order,
After making a circle, this army of two hundred men rushed into the battlefield like a gust of wind and headed straight for Qin Qi.
Qin Qi's battle formation has almost dispersed. Just because he defeated Cen Bi, his morale is as high as a rainbow. At this time, Chu Nan uses the battle formation to attack. Although Fengzimi is not suitable for battlefield fighting, it does not have the kind of gas mask.
Something, but it is better than a quick word. It is perfect for a surprise attack at this time.
Like a sharp dagger, after circling in a circle, it quickly broke in from the rear. Cao's army was so powerful that the two hundred men didn't even stand up for battle, so they didn't pay attention at first.
Just detach a team of troops to meet them.
However, as soon as they fought, Cao's army quickly collapsed. Although there was no aura blessing like other battle formations, Chu Nan evenly attached the secret of wind to everyone, allowing the soldiers to attack very quickly. If someone else strikes with a sword, here
It can cut two or even three times, and Chu Nan's battle formation is also different from others. He does not rush up all at once, but stops to find his position again after fighting, and the soldiers behind him quickly rush forward.
The entire battle formation was like a saw blade, rolling forward. The soldiers of Cao's army had not finished swinging their swords. Chu Nan's soldiers had already drawn their swords from the opponent's body and quickly retreated to avoid it. The soldiers who rushed up from behind struck again, and then again.
retreat.
The soldiers and horses of Cao's army that came forward were dismembered by Chu Nan's inconspicuous troops almost instantly, and Zhou Cang didn't even make a move.
After defeating the oncoming Cao army, he quickly rushed in. It was still rolling like this. The extremely fast fighting method had penetrated into the center of the enemy's army by the time the troops on both wings reacted.
Yuan Tan, who was fighting fiercely with Qin Qi, stared at this scene dumbfounded, with only one thought in his mind: Fengzimi can still be used in this way!
He is considered well-informed, but even fierce generals like Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not used military formations to this extent.
Qin Qi also sensed something was wrong, and shook Yuan Tan away with a knife. When she looked back, she saw the jagged army rolling towards her, and her expression changed.
With a loud roar, he raised his sword and struck this way!
Under Ruoyou Ruowu's sword light, Zhou Cang stepped forward quickly, jumped up, and scattered the sword light with one strike. Chu Nan waved his hand smoothly, and the power of the army gathered around him. After Zhou Cang landed on the ground, he made a move under his feet.
Stepping on it, an afterimage appeared on his body, instantly appearing in front of Qin Qi, and slashed at Qin Qi three times in a row.
Attaching the power of the military formation is not just about lengthening the sword. In fact, depending on the power of the military formation, the status of the addition is different. Shan Zi Mi adds defense, while Feng Zi Mi adds speed, speed in all aspects, such as
Running speed, shooting speed.
It's just that few people can use the secret of wind to evenly apply it to every soldier in the formation.
Qin Qi only received two sword blows. In fact, with Zhou Cang's natural power and the blessing of Feng Zibi, he couldn't take the first sword. It's just that with the blessing of Feng Zibi, Zhou Cang's attack was too fast and he couldn't react at all.
Come on, knock his sword away with the second blow, and chop off his head with the third blow!
"Don't do it yet!" Chu Nan looked at the stunned Yuan Tan and shouted.
Yuan Tan woke up from a dream and quickly launched his army to attack Cao Jun. Cao Jun, who lost his leader, was quickly defeated by Yuan Tan and fled towards the city. Yuan Tan quickly followed up with his troops, hoping to take advantage of the opponent's opening of the city to attack the city in one fell swoop.
However, the gates of Xuchang City were tightly closed. Instead, when the Qingzhou Army arrived, arrows rained down from the city head. The Qingzhou Army was forced to retreat. Those defeated troops died in pieces and bypassed the city in other directions.
Run.
"Is it possible that this Qin Qi is not General Xuchang?" Yuan Tan rode back a little depressed and looked at Chu Nan and asked.
Chu Nan shook his head and said that he didn't know, but it was difficult to capture the city today. After lingering for a while, Yuan Tan could only withdraw from the stronghold a few miles away and try to find a way to see if he could capture the city...
