Chapter 415 Who Is Spending More
When the Wuhuan army arrived, more than 200,000 troops surrounded Shenyang City, and the camp outside was very spectacular.
After Qiu Liju arrived, he went around outside Shenyang City himself.
Seeing this tall city wall made him very helpless.
Nomads are the least good at siege, and they have not prepared siege equipment until now.
"Go, grab some Han people and build us equipment and fill trenches." Qiu Liju said to several of his opponents.
Qiu Liju was helpless when he saw the tall and thick city walls, he had nothing to do.
Relying on brute force to break open the city abruptly, Qiu Liju was not sure.
When they went south to plunder, Liaodong was the first choice, because Liaodong was rich, and if Zhang Yu was not dealt with first, they were also afraid that Zhang Yu would send troops to attack them.
This was the case with Zhang Yu last time. They went to loot other places in Youzhou, but Zhang Yu got in the way and caused them a lot of losses.
This time Qiu Liju first attacked Xuantu County, and then continued south to attack Liaodong, so that Zhang Yu could not be free.
It's just that Qiu Liju didn't expect that Zhang Yu could raise a city from the ground.
If they don't capture Shenyang City first, they will not be able to attack Liaodong at all.
If they go to attack Liaodong, Zhang Yu will take a section of their back, and the two hundred thousand troops may be wiped out in ashes.
The Wuhuan people dispatched 20,000 troops and began to sweep around, intending to capture the Han people to work for them.
But what they saw was empty villages and cities.
Zhang Yu did it very thoroughly, and all the county towns in Xuantu County were evacuated, and all of them went to Shenyang City.
The Wuhuan people went out for two days, but none of the Han people were caught.
"Damn it, Zhang Yu did it so thoroughly." Qiu Liju said angrily when he found out.
Qiu Liju's expression was very bad. They didn't carry a lot of food. They usually just raided and looted wherever they went, and then replenished food and grass.
But this time Zhang Yu did it too thoroughly, and everyone in the entire county evacuated.
They also know the situation in Liaodong. If they hit Liaodong, many people in Liaodong will also evacuate to the mountains.
They called before, but the people in Liaodong took the farm as a unit and evacuated completely.
Now Liaodong has a big plate, a large population, and a lot of industries. It is impossible to evacuate cleanly, but Liaodong also has a strong city, and there are still many troops defending it. At that time, there is not enough food to be looted, and it will be cut off by Shenyang City. Road, they are very dangerous.
So Qiu Liju dared not go south.
After two days of stalemate, Qiu Liju began to send troops to attack Shenyang City.
"Yeah, dawdling, you're too sissy." Dian Wei yelled at the top of the wall.
He always wanted to fight, but when the Wuhuan people came to attack, the Wuhuan people did not fight for a long time.
The Wuhuan people began to mobilize 40,000 people to fill the trenches.
The trench is very long and deep, and there is more than one.
They got simple tools and began to transport earth and rocks to fill the trench.
There are many fortresses opposite the Wuhuan people, which are actually a wall. The wall is slanted towards the city, and dozens of people can be hidden under the wall. There are many divisions of this wall, and the divisions are staggered and arranged layer by layer.
These were all temporarily built by Zhang Yu and the others, just to deal with the Wuhuan people.
Dozens of people are archers.
"put."
At one command, dozens of archers hiding behind the wall retreated and fired arrows.
For the first time, they had a triple shot, where one person shot three arrows quickly.
The arrow pierced through the air and attacked the Wuhuan people with powerful lethality.
"what."
"not good."
"There are people behind the wall, fight back."
The sudden arrows hit the unprepared Wuhuan people a lot.
Hundreds of people were killed in the first attack.
Some Wuhuan people retreated quickly, and then the Wuhuan people behind began to launch a retaliatory attack.
They hit these walls with arrows.
After being baptized by the arrow array for a full quarter of an hour, the wall was densely packed with arrows.
"Hey, these idiots know how to waste arrows."
"The wall is slanted towards the city,
Their projectiles can't fall on our heads, but there is a wall on our heads. "
"Let them waste arrows and see how many arrows they can waste."
The Wuhuan were attacking, while the soldiers were hiding under the wall and chatting.
The wall was slanted, although it was not very wide, it blocked the Wuhuan people's arrows like a shield, and none of the soldiers below were injured.
Zhang Yu and the generals on the top of the wall saw very clearly that the Wuhuan people were wasting their arrows.
"My lord, this slanted wall is so powerful that the enemy doesn't even think about breaking through it with arrows," Huang Zhong said.
An Yuan on the side heard it and said: "Oh, it's just too expensive. It also needs the steel bars forged in the workshop to build the inclined ones. It will cost millions of dollars to build these walls."
Anyuan was very heartbroken. He knew the value of these walls, not to mention the huge investment, and it was a one-off. After the war, it would definitely be destroyed.
Even if it is not destroyed, a lot will have to be demolished, and if it is not demolished, it will affect the operation of the city.
"Haha, don't worry Anyuan, you can earn back money after spending it. After this battle, all losses will be recovered from these people."
Zhang Yu has always been taking advantage of others, he was bullied to the top, and it would be strange if he didn't get back his position.
The Wuhuan continued to attack.
After attacking for a quarter of an hour and wasting tens of thousands of arrows, they continued to fill the trench.
The trench began to be filled, but this time they were on the defensive, keeping an eye on the low walls.
A young general on the top of the city saw that the enemy began to fill the trench again, so he immediately waved the command flag and ordered to shoot arrows.
Seeing the signal, the soldiers below immediately came out from the low wall and released the prepared arrows together.
The arrow pierced through the air and came again.
These prairie peoples are very sensitive to the sound of breaking through the sky, and immediately retreat or hide when they are prepared.
This attack did not have much effect, and dozens of Wuhuan soldiers were shot to death.
The Wuhuan people were furious and began to fight back one after another.
The soldiers who were prepared behind rushed up and attacked again, and a large number of arrows leaned towards these walls.
These walls and the surrounding walls are full of arrows.
The enemy's retaliatory attack is very crazy, but it has little effect.
When they attack, soldiers hide.
This time they just fired a few rounds of arrows and stopped.
"Damn it, you won't be able to attack the enemy at all."
Wuhuan's generals were not fools either, they didn't hear a scream and knew they hadn't attacked the enemy at all, so they stopped attacking.
The enemy cannot be attacked, but the trenches still have to be filled.
Helpless, they could only swallow their stomachs and continue to fill the trench.
Zhang Yu on the top of the city said with a smile: "This trench can hold off the enemy for at least three days. In three days, there are more than 200,000 troops. How much food and grass will they consume?"
This time Zhang Yu knew that the enemy couldn't afford it, so he chose the method of spending a long time with the enemy. With a strong city, it would consume them all.
