Chapter 543 Fight Xiao Guan Again
"Did Yuan Shao's army build a camp outside the city?" Lv Bu waved his hand and asked Xu Chu not to worry, and then turned around and asked the people beside him. Lv Bu left the marshal flag in the upper party, but it was not appropriate to show up at this time, so he asked the generals around him.
"Yuan Shao's army came far away and was eager to fight. Only a few soldiers were responsible for building camps outside the city, and most of the other soldiers and horses had arrived under the city. Obviously, they wanted to fight with our army." Cheng Yu said after thinking about it a little.
"Ha ha, it seems that we can't let Yuan Shao down. At this time, it's only noon, and we don't have to worry. We order the three armies to rest and cook, and wait until the afternoon, the whole army will go out of the city to meet the enemy." Lv Bu saw that the sky was just morning time, so he said with an evil smile on the corners of his mouth.
"Your Excellency, can't you let Wen Chou shout and scold outside the city?" Xu Chu obviously didn't understand Lv Bu's intention and said puzzledly. At the same time, all the generals also looked at Lv Bu in confusion. Naturally, they did not dare to question Lv Bu's order, but these people could not understand what it meant. Only Guo Jia and Cheng Yu seemed to see Lv Bu's intention and nodded secretly.
"Ha ha, haven't you understood what the Prime Minister means? Yuan Shao's army came from afar, eager to fight and full of spirit. We just let them stand outside the city for a while and rub their spirit. When their spirit is almost the same as the fighting spirit, we will go out of the city and completely destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. Isn't it more convenient? Seeing that the generals were puzzled, Cheng Yu stood up with a smile and explained to the generals.
"I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't wait outside the city honestly." At this time, I only heard Zhao Yun say. Although Lv Bu had taken the initiative at this time, Zhao Yun did not want to see Lv Bu so arrogant that he controlled everything in his hands.
"Hahaha, what Yuan Shao wants to do is his business. We don't have to worry about him. We just need to set aside part of the troops to defend the city. The rest of us will go to dinner with Owen. It's not too late to teach Yuan Shao a lesson when we are full." For Zhao Yun's words, Lv Bu just laughed and ignored it. Instead, he would take the lead and walk outside. Obviously, he was confident about defeating Yuan Shao.
"Lord, it seems that these guys have been scared and dare not come out. Should we start attacking the city?" Wen Chou shouted and scolded outside Xiao Guan for a while, but no one responded. He returned to Yuan Shao with some discouragedness and said.
Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou to call the array. He originally intended to test Xiao Guan's virtual reality. If Lv Bu's army had left Xiao Guan and went to Jizhou, Yuan Shao would certainly launch an attack immediately, break through Xiaoguan and go to Jizhou. If Lv Bu's army is stationed in Xiaoguan, then Yuan Shao will have to think about how to deal with Lv Bu's army. At least the way to attack Xiaoguan will not work. Because first of all, it does not have an advantage in military strength, and coupled with the extremely steepness of Xiaoguan, he took the initiative to attack the city and had no intention of finding his own death.
"Eh, what do you think of Ju Shu?" Xiao Guan did not have a general to fight, which made Yuan Shao unable to understand Xiao Guan's reality. It was difficult to make a decision in his heart. He could only turn around and look at Ju Shu and ask.
"The lord might as well send troops to attack Xiaoguan. Even if the generals of Xiaoguan can calm down again, the confrontation between the two armies should always show the truth." Seeing Yuan Shao looking at him, Ju Shu felt that he had a great responsibility. Naturally, he did not dare to make bold reasoning. He could only come up with an idea for Yuan Shao to continue to test.
"My subordinates are willing to lead troops to attack the city and take Xiaoguan as the master." Hearing Ju Shu's suggestion to attack the city, Wen Chou clenched his fist and said. Just now, he shouted outside Xiaoguan, and no one paid attention to it, which made Wen Chou very unhappy. At this time, when he saw the opportunity to fight with Lv Bujun, he naturally refused to let go of this opportunity.
"It's worthy of being a general under a certain family. A certain family will give you 5,000 elite soldiers to capture Xiaoguan for me." Seeing Ju Shu nodding slightly next to him, Yuan Shao also knew that morale was available. Then he sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city.
"The Prime Minister Xiao Guan is steep, and I'm afraid that ordinary soldiers and horses are difficult to attack. The lord might as well make preparations early." Although the current battle is just a test, Xiao Guan is a dangerous level. Even if there are not many soldiers and horses to defend, it is not easy to attack. The meaning of Ju Shu's words is naturally to let Yuan Shao send troops and horses to prepare equipment to attack the city.
"Hmm, our army came in a hurry this time without any siege equipment. Mr. Lao took local materials to build siege equipment for my army." Building siege equipment is a fine job, which is not suitable for ordinary people. Yuan Shao can only give this task to Ju Shu.
"Brothers, Lv Bu's soldiers and horses have set foot on the land of Jizhou. If you want to mutilate your family, if you want to save your family, you have to break through the barrier in front of you. Today, we live and die together. Let's kill a bloody road home together and follow me." Before Wen Chou came to an infantry phalanx, he looked at the soldiers and the swords in their hands and the rough ladder on their shoulders. He roared loudly and stirred up the morale of the soldiers.
"Kill, in order to go home, kill all the enemies." After Wen Chou's speech, Wen Chou's own soldiers roared, and then the soldiers began to roar and kill, and then rushed to Xiao Guan.
"Your Excellency, Yuan Shaojun has begun to attack the city." As soon as Wen Chou began to attack the city with his soldiers and horses, Cheng Yu quickly reported to Lv Bu.
"Oh, it seems that Yuan Shao is not as stupid as he thought. Do you want to take the initiative to attack?" Lv Bu smiled. In Lv Bu's opinion, Yuan Shao is just a dish on his plate. Sooner or later, he will be defeated in his own hands. The problem now is just what method Yuan Shao wants to choose to die. Dare to attack shows that Yuan Shao is still a worthy opponent.
"Well, Prime Minister, Yuan Shao only sent 5,000 soldiers to attack the city, and his subordinates felt that he was testing the reality of Xiao Guan." Seeing that Lv Bu misunderstood his intention, Cheng Yu was embarrassed again, but immediately changed his words.
"Well, let's leave Yuan Shao some room for fantasy. The order to maintain the number of soldiers on the city tower will create an illusion that as long as he exerts more effort, Xiao Guan will be attacked by him. Knowing that Yuan Shao was testing Xiao Guan's reality, Lv Bu suddenly had a new idea. He wanted to give Yuan Shao a hope, a hope that made Yuan Shao feel that only a little more effort could be achieved, and then slowly wear out Yuan Shao's will with this hope. When he knew that Yuan Shao was about to lose patience, he would give it to Yuan Shao. With a fatal blow, Yuan Shao will lose the courage to fight against himself forever.
"Kill it for me, kill it. Xiao Guan is going to break the city. Kill it for me." Looking at a group of soldiers carrying a ladder to climb the city wall and jump into the women's wall, Wen Chou has an illusion that Xiaoguan will be broken by himself every time. Unfortunately, every time it comes to the most important moment, a strange soldier will inexplicably appear on the Xiaoguan Tower to join the battle, and then force his soldiers and horses down from the wall to let Wen Ugly and indignant.
"Grandma, you can also lose the wall you are about to get. If you don't come down this time, I will kill you all." Looking at the soldiers who escaped from the wall, Wen Chou roared like a tear, accusing these soldiers of being killed in such good circumstances.
"The general is not that we don't work hard, but suddenly there are many enemies, and we really can't resist it." In the face of Wen Chou's accusation, a commander said helplessly. The man was covered in blood. Obviously, what a fierce battle he had experienced, and some wounds on his body were still bleeding.
"Tut up." Hearing the captain's defense, Wen Chou was immediately furious. He cut off the captain's head with a knife, and then said to the soldiers, "Soldiers don't need excuses. Victory needs to be cast with blood, and defeat also has to pay the price of bleeding. This time, I will lead you to the tower and let you see how I do. Cut off the generals and seize the pass. Wen Chou was only commanding outside the city and did not fight in person, but now several sieges of the city have ended in failure. The morale of these soldiers has been consumed to the maximum extent. If it goes on like this, it is doomed to fail. For today's plan, only the main general can fight in person to stimulate the blood of the soldiers.
"Kill" Wen Chou shouted angrily, took a ladder from his side and put it on his head, and the first one rushed out first.
"Kill." A group of soldiers followed Wen Chou, protected the surroundings of Wen Chou, and also picked up the ladders on the ground and rushed to the wall of Xiaoguan.
Countless soldiers behind them roared, grabbed the ladder and rushed to the wall of Xiaoguan again.
Above the wall, a head poked its head out of the side of the women's wall and looked at Wen Chou and a group of soldiers rushing outside the wall, showing a sneer. Then he turned around and withdrew his head back into the female wall and said to the soldiers around him, "Move away all these corpses quickly. The enemy is coming up again. Tell the people below to be ready to respond at any time." This man is a general in Lv Bu's army.
It turned out that in order to deal with the siege of Yuan Shao's army, the defenders in Lv Bu's army had several groups of people. They supported each other and jointly guarded the wall of Xiaoguan. When Yuan Shao's army set up a ladder to attack the city, they were only facing a group of defenders on the wall. When they attacked the wall, the Lv Bu army on the wall would attract another group of reinforcements, and the two armies would destroy the Yuan Shao soldiers who attacked the wall together. After repelding Yuan Shao's attack, these incoming reinforcements will stay on the wall and become defenders. In the face of the next attack of Yuan Shao's army, it is a new soldier who is responsible for supporting them.
Because of this, it gave Yuan Shaojun the illusion that it was easier to attack the wall than to stand firm on the wall. And this is the arrangement made by Cheng Yu according to Lv Bu's request.
"Well, this Wen Chou is really getting more and more promising. Obviously, there is a shortage of soldiers in Xiaoguan. He can't take Xiaoguan after taking it for so long. Come on, I sent 5,000 soldiers to take down Xiaoguan for me. Yuan Shao, who was standing in the central army, looked at the battle on Xiaoguan City and was also confused by Lv Bujun's practice, so he sent troops and horses to support Wen Chou again, hoping that Wen Chou could take Xiaoguan as soon as possible.
