Chapter 1064: Siege of Cao Jun

? Zhang Yu and Cao Cao, this kind of pre-war chat is no longer once or twice.

Don't think that verbal battles are all nonsense. It is related to the morale of the two armies, so it is not meaningless.

Zhang Yu has the upper hand and is aggressive.

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

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

"My lord, go back quickly, the catapult has no eyes." Cheng Yu advised from the side.

Cheng Yu and the others saw that Zhang Yu and the others had already started installing the catapult.

Once the catapult starts to attack, the howling sound can make people have nightmares for days.

But Cao Cao and the others were not very nervous. At this time, they also installed many catapults on the top of the city, so it was not certain who would win or lose.

Cao Cao looked down with cold eyes. This decisive battle is very different.

"Let's go."

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

Cheng Yu and other counselors followed him down the city wall.

They didn't know when Zhang Yu would attack.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting.

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

A few days later, Fusang's army arrived, and Zhang Yu asked them to rest for a day before preparing to attack.

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

The catapults began to roar, and at the same time, the enemy's catapults also began to attack.

Soldiers on both sides are attacking desperately, and the catapults are fighting in the air.

From time to time, catapults were smashed.

The scalps of the soldiers on both sides were numb, and the roaring boulder was hit by a puddle of flesh.

But they are soldiers,

There is no choice.

"Attack."

After the catapult smashed for an hour, Zhang Yu ordered an attack.

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

After Zhang Yu ordered the attack, he went to the rear to observe. In this kind of battle, he didn't need to go into battle himself, and several generals were also supervising the battle below.

The army began to attack, and the army rushed forward.

The bloody battle began, Zhang Yu's side, the army has been attacking the barracks.

Datang's army was not afraid of death, and they kept attacking the city wall after the attack began.

The catapults blasted back and forth, and Zhang Yu also ordered to throw the wine jars, which burned on the city wall.

But the army on the top of the city was prepared and covered it with sand, which didn't cause much trouble.

The battle continued, and the arrows flew.

Both sides began to suffer a lot of casualties.

The soldiers on both sides worked very hard.

Zhang Yu was at the rear, looking at all this calmly. He didn't know how many people would die this time, but no matter how many people died, he would beat them.

The bloody battle started and never stopped. For five consecutive days, more than 20,000 people died.

The battle for the city wall has always been fierce.

Zhang Yu continued to burn the city wall with fire, and a large number of clay pots were thrown on it, burning on the surface of the city wall.

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

Cao Jun also defended very well, and the two sides fought like this.

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

"Cao Jun's essence is here, so it's good to hold them back."

Zhang Yu thought of the war in the north, and Zhang Liao's attack was smooth at this time.

Zhang Yu's military strength has a great advantage, and he will replenish as much as he consumes. At this time, he has enough ability to launch a big war in the south, and he can also support a big war in the north.

Zhang Yu immediately added troops to Zhang Liao, and at the same time sent Guo Jia to assist him.

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

Zhao Yun led 50,000 troops to guard against the defenders of Lu'an.

Originally, Cao Jun always thought that Zhang Yu would go to Lu'an first. After all, Lu'an was not difficult, but Zhang Yu didn't, and kept attacking Shouchun City.

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

In one month, Zhang Yu lost 170,000 troops, half of which were Fusang troops.

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

Although it is the Fusang army, there is no need to die.

Fusang's madness is not without effect.

At this time, the city wall was already riddled with holes, and many places were breached.

Cao Jun also lost about 110,000 soldiers and horses, which was very uncomfortable.

Cao Cao has always been in a bad mood, and this battle was a difficult one.

"Zhang Yu's attack strength has not weakened at all. This means that he will not stop until Shouchun is defeated." Cao Cao said helplessly.

At this time, Cao Cao was even older, and there were too many things for him to worry about.

They were fully prepared for this battle, but the difficulty was still beyond his expectation.

"If Cao Cao can be trapped inside, along with his generals, I'm afraid the Cao Army Group will be worried." Zhang Yu thought.

Cao Jun is surrounded by support, with his back to the rear, so they are not worried.

But Zhang Yu is even stronger.

"Forcing their troops from other places to come to support."

Zhang Yu suddenly didn't want to fight anymore.

He stopped fighting, it was too tiring to fight in such a big city.

"Order the entire army to retreat two miles and start preparing for defense."

Many people were puzzled by Zhang Yu's order, but they resolutely carried out the order.

Cao Cao was very puzzled by the sudden retreat of the army, and hurriedly led his advisers to the top of the city.

"What is Zhang Yu going to do?"

Several counselors are also at a loss.

"This Zhang Yu has made up his mind and doesn't care about the casualties. Maybe this time they suffered a lot of casualties, and they want to use their 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 had no such plan.

Two days have passed, Zhang Yu and the others have been building defenses there without any action.

After building the defense, Zhang Yu ordered the digging of trenches.

Digging a trench?

This makes more people not understand, you are the attacking side, not the defending side, what kind of trenches are you digging.

"Does this Zhang Yu still want to flood our Shouchun City?" Xu You said with a cold snort on the top of the city.

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

Huang Zhong didn't understand. After he arranged everything, he came over and asked, "Master, is this to trap Cao Jun to death? This Shouchun City is supplied by Poyang Lake. It has enough food and grass, and there is also a source of water. It will last for a year and a half. , I’m afraid they won’t be trapped to death.”

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "We can't do that either. The people must suffer first. I just want Cao Cao to stay inside and recuperate."

Rest?

Zhang Yu saw that Huang Zhong was puzzled, and then said: "Cao Cao and his generals are inside. We trapped them and prevented them from handling government affairs normally. Then Zhang Liao from the north slowly attacked and eroded their territory little by little."

Only then did Huang Zhong understand Zhang Yu's plan. Zhang Yu was not trying to trap Cao Cao to death, but to prevent the entire senior management of Cao Jun from effectively handling military affairs.

However, is this really worth it?

To trap a city, it is not simply to let the army defend.
