Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Fifth: Harassment Tactics

Ordering to retreat, the messengers around Zhang Yu thought that Zhang Yu had given the wrong order.

The situation at the scene is very optimistic, the city can be breached in less than three days by attacking overnight.

But Zhang Yu wanted to order the withdrawal of troops.

The messenger confirmed to Zhang Yu again, but Zhang Yu still ordered to withdraw his troops.

The messenger did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw.

"My lord, we can still attack."

"Yes, we won the city in one go."

"My lord, give me two more hours, not just one hour, and my subordinates promise to attack the top of the city."

"My lord, if this subordinate is willing to personally lead the charge, he will surely win the city."

The army retreated, and no one dared to disobey Zhang Yu's order.

But they don't understand that their own advantage is too obvious, and they can completely break through the city according to the stipulated time in one go.

But Zhang Yu ordered the withdrawal of troops.

After returning, several lieutenants and some generals came to Zhang Yu for a challenge.

Zhang Yu was very happy in his heart, but his face was still serious.

"I understand your feelings, but I have my own considerations. Let the soldiers rest well and continue the attack tomorrow morning." Zhang Yu said.

Many generals still wanted to continue to fight, but were driven back by Zhang Yu.

Several lieutenants did not understand and waited for Zhang Yu to explain to them.

"Our battle is not just the one in front of us. After this battle, there are more battles waiting for them. You have also seen it today. The morale of the soldiers is high, especially the team of archers."

Zhang Yu paused, took a sip of water and continued: "This is a good thing, but as the general, we must stop them, they are wasting their strength."

"You also know that once your arm strength is exhausted, it will take a few days to recover. If so, how will you fight the next battle?"

Several lieutenants understood.

Indeed, archers are not easy at all. Pulling the bowstring requires a lot of arm strength, and it is easy to lose strength.

These archers have undergone long-term training, and the high-frequency attacks of ordinary people have already lost their strength.

Zhang Yu naturally couldn't let them lose their strength, there were more important battles to be fought later.

These archers are fighting like crazy, and the usual training and regulations require them to control the rhythm and not lose their strength.

But if Zhang Yu doesn't stop it today, most of the archers will lose their strength.

Zhang Yu and the others withdrew their troops to rest.

The guards on the top of the wall finally breathed a sigh of relief, but many of them collapsed directly on the top of the wall.

The rhythm of this siege battle is too strong.

Many of them have not yet received decent training, and it is difficult for them to adapt to such a high-intensity war.

There are also many soldiers who have fear and run away.

The ones here are not Yuan Shu's elites, and the gap between Zhang Yu's and their elites is too big.

Before, the morale was high, but it was hit too hard all of a sudden.

"Go and organize the soldiers right away. You can't relax. Zhang Yu has set three days. After dinner, he will definitely attack the city." The guard took a breath and immediately asked several lieutenants to prepare.

The enemy was divided into two groups, one group went to rest and eat, and the other group continued to defend the city and carry stones and logs.

They are nervously preparing for the battle.

Morale is low, which can be described as great joy and great sorrow.

But Zhang Yu and the others ordered a few soldiers to defend after they came back, and most of them went to rest.

"Attempt to harass them every half an hour at night, and specially dispatch 20,000 people to come out. These 20,000 people don't have to participate in the siege tomorrow." Zhang Yu ordered.

One night Zhang Yu didn't plan to attack, but there was a three-day agreement, and the army defending the city did not dare to relax at all.

They all believed that Zhang Yu had a three-day appointment, so he would hurry up and dare not relax for a moment.

After nightfall, Zhang Yu and his troops quickly went to rest.

And the drums of the feigned attacking army were beating together. In order to create momentum, Zhang Yu had 20,000 troops attack and harass. The shouts of killing were no different from the real siege, and even louder than the real siege.

Facing this noisy battlefield environment, none of the defenders in the city could sleep.

Most of Zhang Yu's army can sleep, because they often train in this situation.

Although the environment was noisy, the soldiers slept well.

The defenders in the city didn't let them sleep at all in the first half of the night, because they judged that Zhang Yu and the others would launch an attack soon, and the whole army was ready.

But after half the night, Zhang Yu and the others just kept harassing.

"General, Zhang Yu's army is using a harassing tactic. In this way, the soldiers must be very tired by dawn." The lieutenant general said.

"Anyone can see this technique of fatigue, but who dares to relax, there are hundreds of thousands of enemies, and they may launch an attack at any time. If there is a surprise attack, the city will be destroyed if you are not careful." The guard said.

Although the defender doesn't have much talent, he also understands Zhang Yu's tactics.

But what can they do, dare to prepare, dare to let the soldiers go to rest?

Who knows if the next attack will be real or fake.

"Let half of the soldiers go to rest and change after dawn," said the guard.

They have been tired all day, and if they can't rest at night, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced the next day.

Even so, they still slept very restlessly.

The loud shouts of killing outside the city made it impossible for these people who have not been baptized in the battlefield to sleep.

The 20,000 troops were constantly harassing and harassing, and the defenders in the city remained tense and exhausted.

In the second half of the night, the harassment did not stop, and many soldiers were awakened just after falling asleep.

Even many troops on the top of the city were frightened to death, because many people fell asleep standing up tired, and suddenly heard the sound of killing, could they not be frightened to death.

In particular, Zhang Yu's harassment was not simply shouting and fighting drums.

Sometimes, they sneaked into the city and shot arrows.

Although a few people were not killed, it made them think that this time was real, and the whole city moved, and even the soldiers who took it down to rest immediately got up and prepared.

After such tossing, who can fall asleep, and whose spirit is not highly tense.

As soon as I relaxed, I was taken aback.

The soldiers in the city were tortured miserably, but Zhang Yu and the others slept soundly.

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhang Yu and the others began to cook.

While Zhang Yu and the others were eating, the harassment still didn't stop.

After eating, Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to attack, and slowly threatened him with the army.

The defenders on the city didn't even dare to replace them, and directly pulled the whole army to the top of the city.

"Soldiers, we have been guarding for one day, and there are two days left. As long as we guard for two more days, we will be victorious." The guard began to encourage them.

Encouragement was useful, and under the hope of survival, the exhausted soldier cheered up again.

After resting overnight, Zhang Yu's army regained its combat power and formed an attack formation.

"The whole army obeys the order and must break the city this morning." Zhang Yu ordered. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
