Chapter 366 Attack Weixiang, and besiege Wei to save Zhao(1/2)
"Fengxiao, I asked, look at the garrison of Weixiangcheng, and can it block the attack of our army?"
Ye Tian stepped on his horse in front of Weixiangcheng and looked into the distance.
Guo Jia, Ei Lai, Chen Dao and others were all accompanying him.
"The garrison in Weixiangcheng is quite strict. Looking at the tower, there are watchtowers, and the city is tall and sturdy.
The defenders in the city should be all the war-going people of the Yellow Turban Army, but..."
Guo Jia said slowly after thinking for a moment.
"But what?" Ye Tian raised his eyebrows and continued to ask Guo Jia.
"However, although Weixiangcheng is well managed by Bu Ji, it is not a county town after all. Even if it has been reinforced, it is still smaller than some county towns.
Although it is the outpost of the Yellow Turban Army, it can withstand a small number of Han troops. It leads the lord to lead a large army to come in person, and is all elite. I am afraid it cannot be stopped at all."
"But if Bu Ji sent reinforcements from Puyang to support Weixiang, Weixiang is the outpost of the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, and it is impossible to give up easily.
Puyang County and Baima County are very close to Wei Township, and they are in a juncture. What if Bu Ji sent reinforcements from these two counties?" Ye Tian thought for a moment and asked Guo Jia.
"Lord, don't worry, this matter."
Guo Jia said slightly and looked confident.
"Oh, why did you say this?" Ye Tian asked with his eyes narrowed.
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't your lord know the allusion of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao?"
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Ye Tian was stunned for a moment and said, "I naturally know how to surround Wei and save Zhao."
This surrounded Wei and saved Zhao was a military allusion left during the Warring States Period. It can be said that everyone knows it and everyone knows it.
When Wei general Pang Juan attacked Zhao and surrounded Handan, Qi general Tian Ji rescued him.
Military advisor Sun Bin suggested that instead of going to Handan, it was better to attack Daliang, the capital of Wei.
Wei was in the plan, Pang Juan returned his troops, and the Qi army intercepted the Wei army halfway. This was the famous plan to siege Wei and save Zhao.
Sun Bin’s strategy can also be said to be a model for siege and attacking aid in the future.
I just don’t know what Guo Jia suddenly said at this moment.
Guo Jia laughed, as if he was not skeptical about the reinforcements that Ye Tian said, and said calmly: "My lord is worried. The lord has long been famous in the Xuchang Rebellion and the pacification of Yuzhou. It is well known to everyone.
General Huangfu is here again in the army.
You two are good at using the art of military affairs to spread throughout the world, and everyone knows it.
Buye must be a little afraid of this, and he will inevitably be afraid that you two will deliberately adopt Sun Bin's strategy of besieging the city and attacking the aid, and do not dare to send troops to support him rashly."
After hearing what Xi Zhicai said, Ye Tian nodded in agreement.
Huangfu Song is a famous general in Xizhou, with a reputation as the world.
Ye Tian had previously killed Daqu Shuaibo and Peng Tuo, and he also became famous.
Both of them are now famous generals of the Han court.
Although Bu Ji was the commander of the Yellow Turban Grand Qu in history, he was not a powerful figure.
Such a person is afraid that he will not dare to fight him easily. In this battle of Weixiang, Ye Tian's army arrived in person.
Bu Ji must be afraid that Huangfu Song would attack Ye Tian as a fraud.
If he wanted to follow the allusion of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, he adopted Sun Bin's strategy of besieging the city and fighting aid, and did not dare to send troops to aid.
It has to be said that what Guo Jia said is indeed very reasonable.
"What Fengxiao said is the most important thing." Ye Tian said, and he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly!
After Ye Tian and Guo Jia discussed the attack on the city in Weixiang City for a while,
Eliminating the possibility of Bu Ji's support, Ye Tian immediately ordered the siege.
As the Han army issued an order to attack the city, immediately, bursts of snare drums suddenly rang out.
Immediately, the rumbling sound of war drums came again.
Groups of soldiers from the Han court camp began to walk towards the towering city wall in Weixiangcheng.
They carried the ladders one by one and pushed the cart to the city walls and gates of Weixiangcheng.
The bowmen holding longbows were all running Han soldiers quickly arranged their formation behind the running Han soldiers, and the arrows and locusts tilted down like rain.
These archers used hard bows and sharp arrows to suppress the Yellow Turban defenders on the city walls and covered the soldiers in robes to attack the city.
On Weixiangcheng, a large number of soldiers stood high above the city wall, and on all floors of the watchtower were also filled with yellow-turban archers holding crossbows.
A large number of Yellow Turban soldiers held bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows whizzed out at the soldiers below.
There are quite a few defenders in Weixiangcheng, and there are many archers who are good at shooting.
As countless Yellow Turban shooters shot upwards, arrows shot down like rain, causing a lot of damage to the Han soldiers who were sieging the city.
However, the Han soldiers were really brave. Although they suffered a lot of losses, they still walked forward bravely.
For a moment, the city guarded by the Yellow Turban Army was heard in a panic, and Han soldiers were everywhere climbing towards the city head of Weixiang along the ladder.
If you look down from the high altitude above Weixiangcheng, all the Han soldiers were rushing towards Weixiangcheng like a tide.
A watchtower in Weixiangcheng came out, and a group of crossbowmen in armor were surrounding and protecting a general wearing black armor.
The man in black armor looked about forty years old and had a gray hair. At this time, he frowned at the Han soldiers who were sieging the city.
The black-armored general is named Chen He, who is the guardian arranged by Bu Ji in Weixiangcheng.
"Have the letter of help been sent out? Ye Zhe led the elite Han court army to attack in person. The offensive was tide, and we could no longer hold on."
The black-armored general said anxiously to the messenger beside him.
The situation in Weixiangcheng is now in crisis.
However, facing Ye Tian, a famous general of the Han court, led a large army to attack Weixiang personally, it was impossible for this small Yanzhou city to resist.
Although Wei Xiangcheng is still a strong city, it is still extremely dangerous in the face of such a large army and cannot last long.
The only hope is that the Daqu commander Bu Ji, who is stationed in Puyang, can send troops to support him.
"Qi Zhuang Qu, the letters asking for help have been sent to Puyang City. In the near future, the general Buji will definitely send troops to support him."
"That's good, that's good..."
Upon hearing this news, the Black Armored Leader breathed a sigh of relief and finally raised some hope.
As long as Bu Ji leads a large army to help, with internal and external cooperation, the siege of Wei Xiangcheng will still have a chance to resolve it.
The coach Qu, wearing black armor, gritted his teeth and ordered: "I will order me to go down. Puyang City will send troops to support us soon, and order the guards to guard Wei Xiangcheng."
Although I was still feeling a little weak, the most urgent task now is to adjust the morale of the defenders.
And the so-called reinforcements to Puyang City are naturally the best things to encourage.
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes and stared at the battle situation, staring at the city walls of Wei Xiangcheng.
The Han army's attack was very fierce, but the Yellow Turban Army still barely defended Wei Xiangcheng for the time being with the advantage of the territory.
Although the Han army attacks one after another, the Yellow Turban Army finally stabilized temporarily.
Half a day has passed since the siege of Wei Xiangcheng, but the reinforcements from Puyang County have never arrived, and there is no news at all.
The morale of the Yellow Turbans in Weixiangcheng became lower and lower, and the defenders in the city were less and less. There were originally 50,000 defenders in Weixiangcheng.
But now after several hours of fierce battle, less than half of it is already there.
What's more, even the Iron Man could not stand it under the endless attacks of the Han army, let alone these Yellow Turban Army.
On the contrary, the Han army outside the city organized the siege in an orderly manner, and the morale increased.
"Lord, I wonder who the man on the city wall is? He is so brave." Xi Zhicai's sigh rang in Ye Tian's ears.
Ye Tian looked in the direction he pointed, but found a young white-armored general walking up the ladder.
He was unstoppable and had already arrived at the city of Weixiangcheng.
As soon as the white-armored young player climbed to the top of Weixiangcheng, he stood firmly.
He waved the spear in his hand, carrying an invincible energy on it.
The spear moves are concise, constantly sweeping and slashing, killing the next Yellow Turban Army's heads.
For a moment, the Yellow Turban defenders stationed in Weixiangcheng were invincible and retreated step by step.
Leading by Qu Yang, the siege soldiers on the Han court immediately found their backbone.
The morale of the Han court's siege soldiers was greatly boosted, and they followed Qu Yang to attack the Yellow Turban thieves at the head of Weixiang City.
For a moment, the Yellow Turban soldiers were immediately beaten and retreated step by step.
Ye Tian's eyes lit up when he saw this young white-armored general.
Needless to say, the one who performed extremely heroic on the city wall at this moment was the young general Qu A who had recovered before, Qu Yang and Qu Guangli.
At this moment, Ye Tian also recognized it!
