Chapter 171 Phew...we were almost attacked again
"How is it, you two, have you figured out a way to break through the city in front of you?" Yang Ji asked Fazheng and Xu Shu with a smile. road.
If it weren’t for the purpose of training these two people, as well as the generals and their subordinates, Yang Ji would have attacked the city himself.
Although it is Cao Ren who is in charge of Ding Tao, he is a famous city defender both in history and in the original world line.
Although Cao Ren does not yet have the talent to awaken the legion, his qualifications as a city-defending general have already been partially revealed at this time, otherwise Fazheng and Xu Shu in front of them would not be so distressed.
Xu Shu and Fazheng looked at each other and saw bitterness in each other's eyes. They didn't expect to meet a general who was good at defending the city when they debuted.
Originally, siege warfare was difficult to fight, but now that you have encountered a general who is good at defending the city, it is even more difficult to fight.
After these few days of fighting, they finally figured out that Cao Ren's character and command methods were somewhat rigid and cautious.
Perhaps for field battles, such a personality is the breaking point for others' calculations, but for city defense battles, such a personality and command method make it difficult for others to take advantage of the loopholes.
It is not that they did not try to shake the morale of the defenders, intending to explode the organizational strength of the defenders from within.
However, Cao Ren raised the morale of his soldiers just by motivating him with simple words. Who can you ask to reason about this?
They also tried large-scale legion attacks, trying to tear apart the city wall defenses and open attack channels. After all, they had a lot of internal Qi separated generals.
The effect of the legion's attack was very good, and it also opened a channel for attack on the city wall.
However, for some reason, under the command of Cao Ren, the defenders were always able to withstand their attacks, turning the battlefield into a close fight.
Although the gap in combat effectiveness between the enemy and our soldiers made it extremely difficult for the defenders to fight, there were many times when Taishan soldiers almost broke through the battle line.
Moreover, most of Cao Ren's garrison troops were auxiliary troops, with only more than 10,000 regular soldiers. They were still the kind of legions that did not carry elite talents.
As a result, under the command of Cao Ren, they just blocked the successive attacks of Taishan's army.
And under their turns of attack, the ten thousand Zhengte Meows also brought out their elite talents.
Of the tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers, there were also many legions with elite talents, which were then incorporated into the combat legions by Cao Ren.
This is also the main reason why the two main battle legions under Cao Ren can still maintain their establishment.
Moreover, I don’t know what happened, but the city walls that were broken down by legion attacks on the same day would always be restored to intact the next day.
Although at first glance it looks like they are just using rocks and soil to barely seal the cracks they made.
However, its defensive power is obviously the defense of the city wall after being tempered by clouds and temperatures, and it is also the kind of city wall that is relatively well tempered.
As a result, the first thing they did every day when they started fighting was to use a legion attack to smash the city wall.
If they can smash the fresh city wall, their main battlefield will be the gap created by the legion's attack.
If a round of legion attacks did not create a gap, it would be a normal siege mode.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Yang Ji’s secret technique of cloud energy and the medical system established by Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo, it would be impossible.
Xu Shu and Fazheng had already asked Yang Ji to take action. After all, siege warfare has been synonymous with tragedy since ancient times, especially when the opponent was a famous general who was good at defending the city. Seeing the bitter faces of Xu Shu and Fazheng, Yang Ji shook his head, "It's pretty good that the two of you can do this in your first battle.
After all, Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao, the general who defended the city, and Xun You and Xun Gongda, the military advisors accompanying the army, were not simple people.
You are still young after all. Although your current wisdom and strategies are not weaker than others, you are ultimately at a disadvantage in terms of experience. ”
Just like Yang Ji said, although Cao Ren and Xun You have the upper hand at this time, it does not mean that Xu Shu and Fazheng are weaker than them.
It is this. At that time, Xu Shu and Fazheng were unable to unleash their full potential due to experience issues.
After all, ability is ability. As for how much strength they can exert on the spot, it depends on how well they can combine their basic qualities. Integrated experience.
Hearing Yang Ji say this, the bitterness in Xu Shu and Fazheng's eyes became more intense. After all, the guy in front of them, and Chen Xi who is now in Nanyang, are not much older than them. Ah.
Can it be said that a mere one or two years of age difference can really widen such a huge experience gap?
However, after all, it is Xu Shu and Fa Zheng, and their firmness of mind will not be shaken by the gap between the two parties.
As Yang Ji said, they are still young now and will have plenty of time to accumulate experience and catch up in the future.
Although when they grow rapidly, others will not stay where they are and wait for them to grow, but as long as they grow faster than others, they will one day catch up.
What's more, those seniors have already reached the peak at this time, and will be at the peak for a long time in the future. At most, they can accumulate more experience.
And they are just getting started.
After sorting out his mood, Fa Zheng asked Yang Ji, "The soldiers and horses sent by Cao Mengde to Nanyang have now returned to Chenliu. Do we still have a stalemate here now?"
Xu Shu also nodded and said, "Although I don't know why Yuan Benchu and Yuan Gongli didn't send troops.
But what is certain is that Cao Mengde and the others will definitely try their best to see if they can support us until we retreat, or push us Fight back, or drag other princes to their fate."
Fazheng then said, "One more thing, the situation here in Dingtao will definitely be reported back to Chenliu, but I don't know if they will think it. This is as far as we can go
If they think so, there is a high possibility that they will send troops to support them. Although Chen Changwen did not come here, he must know what the glory of the two legions that have been promoted means.
After all, it is not that the old Chen family has never produced military strategists, there will definitely be relevant records left. ”
Speaking of the old Chen family, even Fazheng, who has a strong aura of middle school at this time, has to admit that the old Chen family is evil.
Which family will be the most popular among hundreds of schools of thought? It has opened a hall, and it has achieved considerable and even brilliant achievements.
Especially the establishment of Jixia Academy. On the surface, it gave hundreds of schools a place to communicate, but in fact, it was secretly established. Harvest the knowledge of hundreds of families
It's so outstanding that it's ridiculous.
Well, the branch of the old Chen family is even more outrageous. Another Chen Xi, who is invincible in internal affairs, has emerged in this generation.
