Four Hundred and Fortieth Chapters Each Unique Trick

One day after Cao Ren attacked, if it wasn't for Zhang Yu's casualties, I'm afraid he wouldn't have continued to attack.

After a day's attack, although the casualties on both sides were not much different from what was expected, Cao Ren still felt that something was wrong, but he didn't expect something to be wrong.

At night, Cao Ren did not continue to attack, but began to think about the battle during the day, and at the same time wrote to Cao Cao to report the situation.

After a night passed, Cao Ren started to attack again. After thinking for a long time last night, he found nothing, so he could only continue to attack.

The next day continued to attack, hundreds of thousands of troops lined up majestic.

Cao Ren ordered the attack again.

This time he reconfigured his forces.

There are still sword and shield soldiers in front, ready to climb the city, but there are more archers around.

At the same time, Cao Ren was also smarter, spreading out the archers.

Scattering is naturally beneficial, but it also has disadvantages. The advantage is that the damage will not be so large, and the disadvantage is that the attack is relatively weak.

Zhang Yu could see clearly from the top of the city that Cao Ren dispersed his troops to reduce casualties.

Gao Shun didn't seem to be affected by these, and didn't change any arrangement.

The offensive and defensive battle continued, and Cao Ren commanded the army to attack the city wall again.

At the beginning of the war, Cao Ren's army continued to attack.

Although Gao Shun's arrangement has not changed, he has carried out a focused attack.

Continuous attacks in one position prevented Cao Jun's follow-up troops from supporting them, and then wiped out the army under the city.

It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers. Gao Shun used this method to clear Cao Jun's army, which can also affect their morale.

In such a battle, in terms of casualties, Zhang Yu and the others did not take advantage of too much, because other troops that were not hit could continue to attack the city.

But this does not affect the effect of Gao Shun's attack.

First of all, destroying the enemy in an organized way can greatly weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness, and in addition, it can damage the enemy's morale.

When the army is wiped out in such a system, everyone can see it, and some people will shrink back, even if they go forward to kill the enemy, they will be afraid.

"Okay, good kill." Zhang Yu applauded from the top of the wall.

Dian Wei squinted at the side, a little absent-minded.

"My lord, it would be great if we brought cavalry with us. Let's charge out directly, kill into the opponent's formation, and capture their generals." Dian Wei said angrily.

Zhang Yu continued to watch the battlefield, ignoring Dian Wei's nagging, he was a militant, but he didn't have a chance to fight this time.

Zhang Yu looked at the battlefield, Cao Ren did not change his strategy, because he found that Zhang Yu and the others had lost a lot.

Cao Ren made the cohesion of the various armies more compact, and he immediately sent troops to support where he found that he was hit hard.

Cao Ren changed, and Gao Shun changed accordingly.

When Cao Ren attacked, Gao Shun ordered some soldiers to defend with all their strength, and then the archers attacked some archers to suppress the opponent, and then some people leaned out from the top of the city to attack the siege team below.

Some of the siege teams under the city took ladders, and some followed behind to climb the city. They did not carry shields, and it was inconvenient to climb the city with shields, so they suffered heavy casualties all at once.

"Damn it."

Cao Ren watched from a distance, and his soldiers and horses were emptied again.

A large number of archers suddenly appeared from the top of the city, and then swept away their attacking team.

The archers who were able to attack these people were suppressed by Gao Shun, so the archers who poked their heads out and attacked this time had enough time to aim.

In fact, it only takes a moment to aim, but that is enough. It is impossible to aim precisely, as long as there are enough numbers.

Cao Ren felt stuck in his heart, as if he was destined to fill it with human life.

The one-day war ended again. This time Cao Ren lost more than 7,000 people, and Zhang Yu and his men also lost more than 3,000 people.

The casualties of the attacking side were more than twice that of the defending side, which is very normal.

But the generals on both sides felt abnormal.

Cao Ren's army was pressing down on the border, and they had made sufficient preparations. They had all kinds of siege equipment and they brought elite soldiers.

So Cao Ren could not accept such heavy casualties.

At the same time, Gao Shun was also dissatisfied with the casualties. If it was all his army, Gao Shun was confident that the casualties would be reduced by half.

Cao Cao in Xiapi also suffered more than 10,000 casualties in one day's attack.

He received Cao Ren's report in the big tent.

"This Zhang Yu is really difficult to deal with." Cao Cao said after receiving the news.

To attack Xiapi, Xiaopei is indeed very important. Only by taking Xiaopei can Cao Cao and the others attack with peace of mind.

If Xiao Pei was there, then Cao Cao and the others would not be able to attack with peace of mind. At least at night, they would have to send a large number of troops to guard against each other, fearing that the two sides would respond to each other and attack their troops.

Cao Cao thought for a while and asked Cheng Yu to come over.

Cheng Yu came over after a while, Cao Cao said: "Zhongde, you go to Zixiao, you must take Xiaopei as soon as possible."

Cheng Yu took orders and arrived at Cao Renna that night.

Cheng Yu came to understand the situation first.

Then the next day the attack started again.

This time Cao Ren and Cheng Yu made a plan, that is, to command separately, and the four gates attack together.

"Zhongde is a great talent, and he discovered the problem as soon as he came." Cao Ren said in admiration.

"The opponent's defenders are powerful, but if the generals have superb command, they must not have so many powerful generals." Cheng Yu said.

This is indeed the case, Zhang Yu brought Gao Shun and Dian Wei along.

Gao Shun is powerful, but Dian Wei is not good. Let Dian Wei charge into the battle, there is no problem at all, let him command such a delicate offensive and defensive battle, Dian Wei is absolutely not good.

Cao Jun attacked again, this time there was no distinction between primary and secondary, and the four gates attacked together.

This method of siege is not the mainstream method of siege, and it is usually divided into priorities, but not this time.

The four gates attacked together, and Gao Shun couldn't command immediately by himself.

Zhang Yu went to a city wall alone to direct the battle.

A war broke out between the two sides.

Cao Jun's offensive was very fierce.

Dian Wei was also sent to a city wall, but Dian Wei was not there to command operations, but to deal with emergencies.

"Cao Jun still has capable people, and he immediately discovered that we have good soldiers, but not enough generals." Zhang Yu commanded and evaluated Cao Jun at the same time.

After fighting for a long time, the two city walls lost a lot, and Zhang Yu had no other good way, so he could only run back and forth, trying to take care of it as much as possible.

One day after the war ended, the two sides began to count the battle damage.

On this day, Zhang Yu and the others were under a lot of pressure.

After the statistics came out, the loss reached more than 7,000 people.

However, Cao Jun also lost a lot, and the battle damage was still more than twice that of Zhang Yu and the others.

It's just that Zhang Yu's elite soldiers also lost a lot this time.

"Zhongde, your method is really good. If you continue to attack like this for a few days, Zhang Yu and the others will definitely not be able to hold on." Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao and the others have a lot of troops and can afford to consume them. They plan to use this method to consume Zhang Yu and the others to death.

Zhang Yu also saw the problem. If this continues, Zhang Yu and the others can last for about seven or eight days at most.

The main reason is that Xiaopei City is too low, otherwise Zhang Yu and the others have the confidence to stick to it for a few months.
