Chapter 75 Find a new way

Xiang Yu led a group of cavalry and quickly rushed to Linwei City. After entering the city, Xiang Yu's army repaired for a while, then continued to run straight towards Sun Jian's army, and finally caught up with Sun Jian before he led his army to the foot of Tianshui City.

"General Xiang, why are you here?" Sun Jian looked a little displeased when he saw Xiang Yu arriving. "It's because Lieutenant Zhang didn't believe that I could take down Tianshui City on my own, so I sent you to help."

Can’t I?”

Xiang Yu snorted coldly. "If I don't come, how will General Sun plan to attack Tianshui City? If General Sun is so confident, then I, Xiang, can just watch from the sidelines and not take the credit from General Sun, how about that?"

When Sun Jian heard what Xiang Yu said, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he still refused to give in. "You can just lead the army and observe from the side without interfering. Didn't I capture Linwei City in only three days?"

,How long can Tianshui City stop me?"

"In this case, General Sun has made up his mind. I, Xiang, will not stay in your army any longer. I will lead the army elsewhere." Xiang Yu said in a very calm tone, observing Sun Jian's reaction as he spoke.

"Where are you going with your army?" Sun Jian heard that Xiang Yu was leaving and couldn't help but feel a little curious. He didn't seem to realize that the real battlefield was not just around Tianshui City.

"Is General Sun really not clear at all?" Xiang Yu asked.

"What do you know? If you have anything to say, please say it directly." Sun Jian asked doubtfully, and his expression didn't look like he was pretending.

"It seems that General Sun's intelligence collection work is not good enough! Han Sui's main troops are not actually in Tianshui City, but are hoarded in Xi County and Xi County to the southwest and northwest of Tianshui City.

Near Jixian County, their Xiliang cavalry are good at riding, shooting and fighting in the mountains. When you attack Tianshui City with all their strength, they will wait for an opportunity to come and besiege you. You will definitely be unable to resist!" Xiang Yu's eyes were very bright.

Staring straight at Sun Jian.

Sun Jian couldn't help but feel numb because of Xiang Yu's look. He seemed to suddenly remember how terrifying the young man in front of him who looked less than twenty years old was, but he still asked: "This

It’s strange, I don’t know where General Xiang got the news from, and even if what you say makes sense, I, Sun, have nothing to fear, so these trivial little plans are nothing to worry about!”

"It doesn't matter what you think, and I don't care either. General Sun can act according to his own ideas. I, Xiang Ji, won't disturb the general here." After saying this, Xiang Yu turned around and left without looking back, leaving only Sun Jian to watch.

She couldn't help but stare at his back in a daze.

Sun Jian was actually somewhat conflicted in his heart at this time. On the one hand, his own self-esteem made him reluctant to accept the fact that Xiang Yu, a young man, was stronger than him in many aspects.

Some of his rationality still made him realize that Xiang Yu's words were by no means false, but these thoughts could not actually change Sun Jian's decision. He wanted to attack the city and immediately launched an siege, just like he had attacked Linwei City before.

I believe that as long as we attack resolutely enough, we will be able to capture Tianshui City soon.

But in fact, Tianshui City is completely incomparable to Linwei City. The height and thickness of the city walls here are far greater than that of Linwei City, and because the city is surrounded by mountains, many places are built against the mountains, and there are many entrances and exits.

The pass is extremely dangerous. In some places, it can even be said that one man can guard the pass and no one can open it. Unlike Linwei City, which is difficult to defend for a long time when there are not many defenders, the defense facilities in Tianshui City are divided into several levels. It is difficult to capture any one.

The external defense level is not enough. It can be said that it is more than a little more difficult to completely capture Tianshui City.

Sun Jian was obviously not fully prepared for these actual difficulties, so he encountered considerable setbacks on the first day he ordered the fierce attack. His two capable lieutenants were attacked during the siege.

He was seriously injured at that time, which was a big loss for Sun Jian. He had many old injuries on his body. Once he went to a place with a humid climate in the mountains and was surrounded by mountain fog, various joints on his body would develop, which made him also suffer from injuries.

The unbearable soreness, his old age, and the limited medical level of this era make it difficult for many old injuries to heal, which will eventually greatly affect his physical condition.

When facing the tall city wall of Tianshui City, the siege weapons Sun Jian originally used to attack Linwei City began to show their shortcomings in all aspects. The ladders used by the soldiers were not high enough to climb the city wall, so Sun Jian

I had no choice but to order a search among the complex and steep rocks around Tianshui City to find some possible places that could be used to attack the city.

Sun Jian was actually very lucky. On the afternoon of the second day when he launched the siege, he actually found a breakthrough in the mountain on the northeast side of Tianshui City. The mountain wall here is extremely steep. The usual method is

There is definitely no way to pass, but because of this, the defenders in Tianshui City also ignored this place and did not send enough soldiers to defend it. Only three or five patrol soldiers would look around here from time to time.

Sun Jian sent people to master the scheduling and patrol rules of these patrol soldiers, and then prepared to wait until dark before sending a group of elite soldiers with strong skills to risk climbing this extremely steep mountain wall. Normally,

It is definitely impossible to climb a cliff with such a slope, but Sun Jian has a special force under his command. They are good at flying over cliffs and climbing over walls. They are a secret weapon of Sun Jian. Because they are few in number and cannot withstand the consumption, Sun Jian usually

They will only choose to send them out at very critical moments.

Even when he attacked Linwei City before, Sun Jian did not send them out. However, if Linwei City could not be breached in a few days, then Sun Jian would definitely send out this small team.

Before joining the army, this special force was a group of masters hidden among the people. When Sun Jian traveled around the country in his early years, he met many strange people. Later, he found an opportunity to gather these strange people together, thus establishing a special force.

's team.

In fact, this special force also participated in many previous battles and played a very important role in them.

Sun Jian sent them out at this time, which also shows that he has realized that the Tianshui City in front of him is a very difficult nut to crack. If you want to capture this city through conventional methods, it will probably cost a lot.

If what Xiang Yu told him is true, then he must try his best to capture Tianshui City before Han Sui's troops deployed in Xixian and Jixian come over. As long as Tianshui City can be successfully captured, then the Xiliang Cavalry will

The advantage of fighting in mountains will be lost.
