Chapter 1033: Divide the troops and attack the city
"Well, my second brother is right. Guangxin City must not be lost. This is the bottom line of the Shi family, so I agree to divide our troops and go to Guangxin City."
When Shiwu heard what Shiyi said, he also nodded. He completely agreed with Shiyi. The core of the Shijia family is Guangxin. If there is a problem here, then stop playing and let everyone be buried together.
"Since you have said so, I can't help it, but we need to discuss how many troops should be sent to leave."
Hearing that Shi Yi and Shi Wu opposed together, Lu Bu also scratched his head. Now he only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, while the Shi family has hundreds of thousands. He doesn't have much say now. Since they insist on
If he wanted to send troops, he could only discuss the number of troops with the two of them.
"Well, there are still about 150,000 troops and horses in the city, and Yuan Shu's troops and horses are 200,000, and the cavalry outside Guangxin City is only about 10,000. I think it is safe to send 50,000 troops.
"
Although Shi Yi did not dare to go up the city wall, he was still better than Shi Wu and Lu Bu when it came to big strategic matters. After a little thought, he came up with a rough scope.
"Fifty thousand is too much. A hundred thousand troops, and they are still new soldiers, should not be able to stop Yuan Shu's two hundred thousand troops. I suggest not to exceed thirty thousand at most. Thirty thousand people facing Yuan Shu's ten thousand cavalry can prevent the enemy from attacking.
A sneak attack by cavalry can also ensure the defense level of Guangxin City."
Lu Bu directly gave his idea. If the withdrawal of 50,000 troops was too much, facing 10,000 cavalry would not be able to use that many people. In his impression, the maximum number of troops could be increased to 30,000. In this way, with his own strength of 120,000,
There is still some confidence in the troops and horses to resist Yuan Shu's army of 200,000.
"Well, what General Lu Bu said makes sense. There are only 10,000 cavalry outside Guangxin City. 50,000 is indeed a bit too much. 30,000 is just right. How about leaving 30,000?
Second brother?"
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Shiwu also nodded. Logically speaking, 30,000 people should be enough.
"Okay, 30,000 people should be enough. Then let's increase the troops to Guangxin City with 30,000 troops, but who should be sent as the leading general?"
Shi Yi looked at the two and could only nod his head. He really valued Guangxin City too much. Since both of them felt that 30,000 people could do it, he had nothing to say.
"Shisong, just let him go."
Shiwu thought for a moment and directly suggested that Shisong take people back to Guangxin City.
"Well, Shisong can go back, but he can't be allowed to bring his troops back."
Lu Bu glanced at Shiwu, and he had no objection to the candidate he mentioned, but he couldn't let him take his troops back to reinforce him.
"Are you afraid that his troops and horses are all new soldiers, and they can defend the city, but if they really encounter Yuan Shu's cavalry under the city, they will probably collapse at the first touch?"
After all, soldiers and warriors are people who know soldiers. After hearing Lu Bu's words, he immediately understood his worries. If Yuan Shu's cavalry is waiting for him to send troops to come back for reinforcements, they will definitely attack under the city and send new troops to support them. It may be over.
"Well, that's what it means. My opinion is to divide my five thousand elite soldiers, and then take 15,000 from the original Jiaozhou elite soldiers, and add 10,000 new soldiers to form a combined force of 30,000. In this case
It should be the best choice.”
Lu Bu directly stated his arrangement. His soldiers and horses had experienced hundreds of battles and could be said to be the strongest soldiers in Fuchuan. The original soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou could also be considered elite soldiers. When paired with the newly recruited soldiers and horses, this formed
When the three layers of old, Chinese and new complement each other, it should be the best choice.
"Well, what Marquis Wen said makes sense. This is indeed the most appropriate method. It can not only ensure that Fuchuan's combat power is not lost, but also ensure the strength of reinforcements. As expected of everyone who has experienced battles for a long time, Shi Yi admires
."
Originally, Shi Yi considered sending 30,000 Jiaozhou regular troops back to support, but in that case, although there was a guarantee from Guangxin, there might be too many new soldiers in Fuchuan and they would not be strong enough to fight. According to Lu Bu, if they are matched with each other, they would be better than
My own ideas are much better.
"It's all based on experience, so let's arrange it like this and prepare the troops to leave as soon as possible. After all, the troops outside Guangxin City may launch an attack at any time."
Lu Bu nodded towards the two of them. As the saying goes, the best thing to do is to hurry up. Now they have no time to be wordy.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The warriors directly clasped their fists, and then went down to arrange the selection of troops.
In half a day, the three-in-one army of old, middle-aged and young people was assembled, and then, led by Shisong and Wang Che, they set off from the south gate and ran along the official road towards Guangxin City.
"Lord, the troops have been sent out. Fuchuan City has sent out troops."
As soon as Fuchuan sent troops, scouts returned to the camp to report the situation.
"Troops sent out?
How many people did Fuchuan send south?"
Yuan Shu was also very excited when he heard that Fuchuan was sending troops. In fact, if Zhao Yun could send 30,000 to 40,000 troops, Guangxin City might have been captured by now, but even if his logistics went all out, it would be difficult to support the 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry to ambush the two soldiers.
It took about ten days of consumption, so it’s pretty good to be able to do this now.
"Looking at the number of people, there are about 30,000 people."
The scouts directly reported the opponent's number, and they were quite accurate in their prediction of 30,000 troops.
"There are only 30,000 people, which is a bit small."
When he heard that Fuchuan had only sent 30,000 troops to the south, Yuan Shu could not help but curl his lips. This number of men was not enough to fill the gap between his teeth.
"My lord, thirty thousand people is a lot. After all, our troops in Guangxin City are only ten thousand cavalry. How many more can the enemy send?"
Besides, we only have 10,000 cavalry in ambush in Xieshan. It is okay to face 30,000 enemies, but if there are 50,000, it will be difficult to attack on horseback."
Tian Feng glanced at Yuan Shu. In fact, he expected only about 30,000 people. He was already very satisfied with this result.
"So what do we do now?
Should we attack Fuchuan immediately or wait for Zhang Lin's victory?"
Yuan Shu had nothing to say. Now that the dark chess was in effect, it was up to him to see what he would do next.
"It depends on what my lord thinks. There are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Fuchuan. If we attack by force, it will not be impossible, but the losses will be slightly greater. If we wait for Guangxin's direction to launch, Fuchuan will be in a dilemma again."
The situation, dividing the troops or garrisoning, no matter what, they will be uncomfortable."
Tian Feng directly expressed his thoughts. As for how to do it, it all depends on Yuan Shu's belief.
"How is the preparation of the army?"
After hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu directly asked about the extent of the army's preparations.
"All troops and horses have been rested, and everything such as trebuchets, ladders, and carriages are ready and ready to attack at any time."
Chen Gong glanced at Yuan Shu and directly reported to him the preparations of the army.
"Now that we are well prepared, let's attack. There is nothing to wait for. Everything that needs to be done has been done. The next step is to decide the outcome in a battle. We will send troops tomorrow morning to capture Fuchuan."
However, Yuan Shu did not want to delay any longer. The sooner he captured Jiaozhou, the sooner the Han Dynasty would be able to settle down.
"promise."
"promise."
Tian Feng and Chen Gong clasped their fists together, and then spread the news of Yuan Shu's decision to attack to the entire army.
"Dong dong dong."
The next day, the continuous sound of war drums resounded throughout the sky, and Yuan Shu's camp, which had been previously silent, burst out with infinite vitality. Countless soldiers rushed out of the camp and turned into a sea of people to move towards Fuchuan City.
"General, Yuan Shu has sent out troops."
Yuan Shu's army set off, and the news quickly spread to Fuchuan City.
"I know that after sending troops, Yuan Shu will definitely send troops, let's go to the city wall."
Lu Bu seemed to have known this result for a long time, and he was not surprised at all when Yuan Shu sent troops.
"Well, let's go up to the city wall."
Shiwu also nodded, and followed Lu Bu and his troops to the top of Fuchuan City, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army.
Not long after, Yuan Shu's army had arrived outside the Fuchuan city wall. Nearly 200,000 troops were lined up, and more than 40,000 Jianzhong troops were placed in the middle. It was obvious that Yuan Shu's main attacker had no choice this time.
defeated Zhang He's Jianzhong Army.
On both sides of the Jianzhong Army were the Xuzhou Army, and on the other side were the militia troops. As for the three cavalry groups of the Yingyang Army, the Dangkou Army, and the Xuanwei Army, they were on both sides of the army. This led to a problem, that is, Yuan Shu's participation
The attacking infantry is a little small.
The Xuanwei Army, the Dangkou Army, and the Yingyang Army have nearly 50,000 cavalrymen. Excluding the slightly inferior militia groups, only the Xuzhou Army and the Jianzhong Army can really participate in the attack.
The total Xuzhou Army and Jianzhong Army only amounted to about 80,000 people. Facing Fuchuan City defended by more than 100,000 people, it was a bit difficult to be honest.
In order to deal with this situation, Yuan Shu's side was also prepared. The nightmare did not arrive due to transportation difficulties. There were many other trebuchets prepared.
There are a total of seventy Scholar No. 1 fixed trebuchets, thirty movable Scholar No. 2 trebuchets, as well as more than 20 construction trucks and more than 400 aerial ladders. It can be said that apart from nightmares, this battle has nothing to do with it.
The number of long-range weapons such as trebuchets used has exceeded that of any of Yuan Shu's sieges.
