Chapter 142 The Scorched Battlefield
The offensive on the first day was particularly fierce. The soldiers who came from Yu Chao had no time to survive on the battlefield.
In less than two hours, more than 1,500 soldiers have been lost, and the main city of Dimeng Town has adhered to it.
Wen Xun knew that he couldn't continue like this, so he ordered the withdrawal.
The army set up camp three miles outside Dameng Town, tightly surrounding Dameng Town and not allowing anyone to enter or exit.
Dameng Town Council Hall.
This battle against the city lost more than 200 soldiers, which made Gongsun and others see hope.
There are still five or six thousand scholars in the main city. Unless the other party is transferred to about 50,000 troops, it will not be able to attack Dream Town at all.
However, Zhang Zhao's words poured cold water on everyone. He said: "The soldiers sent to attack the city this time are no different from ordinary people."
"It's not because they don't have enough fighting ability, it's because they haven't come forward yet with the real fighting ability."
Guan Ping nodded deeply, and said, "That's it."
"The other side is obviously using the lives of the people in exchange for our soldiers. They don't expect to break the city in just a few days. Only when our elites are almost exhausted, their main force will give us the final blow."
"This battle loss ratio looks gratifying, but our situation is not optimistic."
The other party can dispatch the people under their jurisdiction to attack the city, but Dameng Town cannot do this.
There are so many soldiers here. They don't go to defend the city, but they want to warn the people to defend the city. The people will definitely be resentful.
But if this continues, sooner or later their troops will be exhausted. What will they do then?
After hearing the news, a layer of gloom gradually appeared on everyone's faces.
But at the moment, the game could not be broken at all. Obviously, they already knew what the other party was doing, but they had no countermeasures to deal with it.
……
On the other side, after Wang Yu returned to the Yu Dynasty, he once again recruited 7,000 troops on the recruitment day. The seventh-level barracks could only recruit 10,000 people at most. More than 7,000 people had been lost in the front. This time, all the troops were replenished. whole.
In addition, he also recruited 15,000 militiamen. These were recruited from the common people. These people went to the battlefield and were living targets. They simply consumed Dameng Town's troops.
But it's enough. As long as Dameng Town's troops are almost exhausted, they can launch a full-scale attack.
After the recruitment was completed, Wang Yu immediately took the troops towards the other bank of the Yellow River and merged with the army.
At this time, the army's troops instantly reached 30,000 people. All the black barracks were all practicing sounds, and even Dream Town in Wuli could hear it vaguely.
The scouts fearfully told this scene to Guan Ping, the commander in chief of Dameng Town. Guan Ping heard that the opponent's strength had reached 30,000, and he couldn't help but become more outstanding.
This is already five times that of themselves. If they are willing, they can use these 30,000 troops to start a charge to Dimeng Town!
Unfortunately, the recruitment day of Da Meng Town has not yet arrived, and there is no way to supplement the new source of soldiers. There are four days before the next recruitment date.
I am afraid that the battle will be extremely fierce and cruel these four days.
Early the next morning, the genius was bright.
Wenpin led the army to launch a new round of siege. Nearly 20,000 militiamen, densely packed like ants, began to climb toward the city from all directions.
On the gate of the city, looking at the dense siege soldiers under the city, everyone's expression was serious, picked up a weapon to start a new round of mechanical defense.
More than 20,000 militia do not want to live, and they continue to climb towards the gate. These recruits who joined the battlefield for the first time have no experience at all, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
Wen Xun interspersed hundreds of veterans behind the recruits, and several veterans had boarded the city wall. This scene scared Guan Ping to sweat, and immediately went to battle to kill the soldiers who boarded the city.
This situation has occurred several times in succession during today's siege battle.
Guan Ping and others became more and more worried. Once they invade the city, Dameng Town will really be in danger!
"Block them, don't allow anyone to come up!"
Guan Ping immediately ordered Gongsun Zan, Yu Jin, Zhong Hui and others to personally guard each pass.
Zhang Zhaohe Chen Qun and other conspirators were paying close attention to the situation of the battlefield, and they were anxious in their hearts, but there was no way to help.
All the pressure was given to Guan Ping.
"There are several soldiers over there!" Gongsun drank, "General Zhong passed!"
Looking at the Zhonghui again, at the time, Zhong Hui also rushed to the soldiers of the guard. He was fighting with the soldiers of the city.
The generals in Dameng Town are too small, and the opponent has too many directions to attack the city, making it impossible to take care of both.
"Kill!"
With a burst of drink, he saw Pan Feng and Gao Shun ascended into the city.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
Gongsun said surprise: "Two generals! Your injury?"
You should know that Pan Feng and Gao Shun's injuries are not good yet. At this time, it will inevitably make the injury worse.
Pan Feng and Gao Shun shook their heads and said, "We are at the critical moment of life and death. How can we hide in the ward and survive?"
"I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"
"Kill!"
After the two joined the battlefield, they finally contained Yu Chao's offensive.
The battle lasted for more than two hours, nearly five hours, from early morning to noon.
In the afternoon, Yu Chao began to attack the city of Chao Cheng in the afternoon, and stayed until late at night.
Everyone in Dimeng Town was exhausted at this time, and the Yu Chao had stopped attacking.
Gongsun Zan and others were more or less slightly injured, and everyone just sat slumped on the city wall, breathing heavily.
Zhang Zhaoli arranged for people to send meals to the soldiers.
Guan Ping and several generals were already lying on the cold city wall and fell asleep.
Zhang Zhao sighed quietly. It was only the second day and he was already so tired. He didn't know what it would be like in the future.
Chen Qun found Zhang Zhao and said: "Mr. Zhang, this time the military strength was a little serious. On this day, more than 1,700 soldiers were lost."
"There are only 4,000 people left in our troops."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhao was shocked. If it continued like this, three days later, the strength of Dimeng Town would be exhausted.
It will be four days before Dameng Town can replenish new troops and recruit new troops. If all the troops are used up before then, the consequences will be disastrous!
Although Zhang Zhao couldn't bear it, he still came to Guan Ping and gently woke him up.
"I'll eat later, I'm too tired." Guan Ping said tiredly.
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "General Guan, that's not it... I want to tell you something."
