"If Xuzhou is lost, the battle in the Central Plains will probably be difficult!" Gongsun Yan sighed heavily.
This is not something he wants to attack his side, but he really puts the situation here so that everyone can understand the reality. After all, there are only so many people here. Did he say this in front of others?
He said this in front of the army, and his words could not dampen the morale of these people.
Among the people present, which one is not a person with a tough character? How can they be so easily hit?
What's more, he has stated the situation conservatively enough! In fact, their current situation is not just that the battle in the Central Plains is difficult, it is clear that they have almost no chance of winning!
The morale of Zhao Kuangyin's army at the front may be low at this time. Who knows what the generals are thinking now. None of them are sure how long Zhao Kuangyin can last on the front line!
And the outcome of the Battle of the Central Plains is directly related to the outcome of the Battle of the South!
Zhu Yuanzhang can no longer take care of the affairs of the Central Plains, which shows how much pressure he is facing now!
Bai Qi and Wu Qi are the two most capable generals under Li Xiang, and they are also assisted by Li Mu, Wang Jian and others. How can the pressure on Zhu Yuanzhang in the south not be great?
"Who would have thought that Su Qin and Di Qing would be such thieves harboring evil intentions!" Even though Liu Bei had a good personality, his face was distorted at this moment.
If you are working as an undercover agent, you have already become the other party's boss, so why should you be an undercover agent? Wouldn't it be nice to just become the boss completely?
"In any case, Zhao Kuangyin has been operating in Xuzhou for many years. Di Qing and Su Qin are ambitious people. Even if they capture Xuzhou in a short time, their foothold will be unstable. They must attack it as soon as possible!" Guan Yu said with a solemn expression.
Even if he is being proud, but now that the war situation has deteriorated to this extent, he will not think that he can turn the situation around by himself.
"Brother, our troops and horses are ready and ready to attack at any time!" Zhang Fei, who was a little transparent, said.
Although Liu Bei has proclaimed himself emperor, in this private setting with only a few people, Zhang Fei still calls Liu Bei and Guan Yu as eldest brother and second brother.
A few of them privately worried about the situation in the world during the war, but this did not prevent them from reorganizing their military affairs and preparing to attack the city. After all, they had so many generals under their command, so naturally they had people to help them do these things.
"Yun Chang, you and General Gongsun take command alternately!"
During the siege battles in the previous days, Guan Yu and Gongsun Yan also took turns taking command. Among the generals Liu Bei brought with him, these two were currently the most adept at fighting.
The commanding styles of these two people are completely different. Under a sudden rotation, it is easy to catch the other party off guard.
After all, these two are not honest. You fight one day and I fight another day, rotating according to the rules. It is possible that the command is the same one moment, and the next wave of siege becomes another one.
Guan Yu also nodded in agreement. This was indeed the time when we had to use our troops quickly, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's control over Xuzhou was far from enough to attack as quickly as possible.
Furthermore, although Di Qing has 120,000 troops, after conquering Xuzhou, these 120,000 troops should be dispersed.
If there are no troops left to guard various places, is it really true that Zhao Kuangyin has been running Xuzhou for nothing for so many years?
After Guan Yu followed Liu Bei's order, he asked people to carry his sword and decisively headed towards the assembled troops and horses.
"Order all the catapults to focus on one place!"
"Ding, the second effect of Guan Yu's Eternal Martial Saint skill is activated. When leading troops in battle, his own commander +3, and when his own team is at a disadvantage, his own commander +1, the current commander +3, Guan Yu's commander will rise to..."
"Ding, about the five effects of the Eternal Martial Saint's skills, which are extremely brave and extraordinary, and can greatly enhance the morale, combat power, and speed of the entire army... and when they personally participate in the battle, they can additionally increase the military force value of the entire army except themselves.
a little."
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The 20,000 Han troops roared loudly at the same time, and then the 5,000 Han troops on the front line, controlling 200 catapults and 800 crossbows of various types, took the lead in attacking Xiaopei.
This is a rare time for other princes to face the Jin army and take advantage of siege equipment. These large equipment are inconvenient to transport. Although Xue Wanche conquered Xiaopei and transferred a batch of supplies before Liu Bei's large army arrived, but so
Not many large-scale equipment could be shipped in a short period of time. Not to mention, Di Qing also needed it at that time and couldn't get much.
Most of the original equipment in Xiaopei City had been damaged in the battle.
In the Central Plains, although they have been suffering from wars in recent years, there is actually no shortage of various resources. As early as in the previous arms race, in addition to expanding their armies, various princes actively stocked up on such war equipment.
But it is also an important content.
There is no shortage of wood and some minerals in the Central Plains. As long as there are craftsmen here, these things will naturally not be a problem.
In fact, these equipments are not Liu Bei's full strength. He is also unable to transport them all due to time factors. Now, there are still a large number of large equipments still being escorted halfway.
Stone projectiles the size of rolling discs and fire oil cans filled with fuel were thrown out by catapults.
Arrows as thick as a gun fell down like raindrops.
The city head, which had been suffering from the flames of war during this period, instantly turned into a forest of arrows and a sea of fire.
"Hide! Everyone hide!" Xue Wanche ordered loudly, asking the soldiers to quickly find bunkers to hide.
However, because Guan Yu concentrated all his firepower to attack in one direction, covering a single area with firepower, and the saturation of artillery fire reached the highest level, many soldiers were still smashed to pieces by arrows and stone bullets coming from the sky.
However, after a brief panic, the Jin army also showed extremely excellent combat qualities after reacting.
This Jin army, which has just been transformed from the Qingzhou Army into the Jin Army, has never missed a battle for so many years. Naturally, it has created a group of veterans of hundreds of battles, a strong and iron-blooded army. Nowadays, among the princes in the world, which prince has the power to fight?
Isn’t there a group of elite people down there?
Under the command of Xue Wanche, the catapults, crossbows and other equipment on the city tower counterattacked in an orderly manner. Although as the Jin army, they rarely suffered losses in terms of large equipment, the disadvantage was just a small number, which does not mean that there were none.
Under the command of Xue Wanche, the defenders on the city wall launched a powerful counterattack.
After all, Xue Wanche still had 30,000 troops in his hands. Although some of them were lost in these days of battles, as the defender of the city, they had a natural advantage in defending the city.
