At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

At the same time, Ma Chao beside Han Sui also had doubts.

"Uncle, why don't you press down on the camp and then attack the city?"

The city wall of Yuzhong City is tall, and relying on the topography of the mountains on both sides, it is definitely a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are more than 60,000 troops of Liu Zhang in the city. Even if his own army has 300,000 troops, it is impossible to easily take Yuzhong.

Han Sui smiled, showing a trace of confidence.

"Meng Qi, Liu Zhang knows that we have the upper hand, so he will definitely think that we have to advance steadily! But I didn't like him, and directly attacked the city, catching him by surprise!"

"Liu Zhang is certainly hateful, but he has to admit that he is indeed good at fighting, coupled with his treacherous character, how can he sit back and watch us set up camp?"

"I guess Liu Zhang has arranged a lot of cavalry at the gate of the city. As long as we take half a step back, he will immediately lead his troops out and catch us by surprise!"

Ma Chao still had some doubts in his heart. With 60,000 to 300,000, how could Liu Zhang take the initiative to attack?

"Is uncle being too cautious? How dare Liu Zhang go out of the city!"

Originally, Ma Chao wanted to say that Liu Zhang was scared out of his wits, but considering the relationship between the two of them now, he was more euphemistic.

"I have carefully studied Liu Zhang's past. This man is not only bold and cautious, but also very good at seizing opportunities! When he was fifteen years old, he dared to sneak into the army of 150,000 soldiers with a thousand people when he fought against the Yellow Turban for the first time. , we have to guard against it!"

Although the Qiang-Han Allied Forces had an overwhelming advantage in strength, they also had two huge flaws.

The first is that almost all of them are infantry, and their mobility is very limited.

Han Sui was also very puzzled at this point. It's not that the Qiang people have no cavalry, but this time they kept all the cavalry in the clan.

The second is that the composition is too complicated. The entire coalition army is divided into eight parts, including the five major Qiang tribes, the remnants of Ma Teng in Wuwei, the soldiers and horses of Han Sui in Jincheng, and some soldiers and horses of the Zhou family in Wuwei County.

Although Han Sui was the commander-in-chief of the entire coalition army, it was difficult for Han Sui to effectively control the 300,000 troops when it was in chaos.

Once Liu Zhang sent cavalry to charge the formation when the coalition forces retreated, it was bound to cause confusion to the soldiers.

Originally, the lethality of the cavalry was limited, but if the thirty armies were in chaos, the number of casualties would be huge!

Han Sui is well aware of the danger, so he will do his best to ensure that the army advances and retreats in an orderly manner.

Ma Chao opened his mouth, but finally did not ask any more questions.

You can't just agree with Han Sui's position as commander-in-chief, and then turn your head against him.

These things are actually irrelevant, and Ma Chao doesn't want to have conflicts with Han Sui because of these trivial matters.

As long as there is no problem with a major strategic decision, Ma Chao is too lazy to argue with Han Sui.

"Look, Meng Qi! Our army has begun to attack the city!"

Ten thousand Qiang soldiers had already reached the foot of Yuzhong City, and all twenty ladders were erected on the city wall.

Things went so smoothly that the guard in Yuzhong didn't move at all, just watched the Qiang people climb up the ladder.

Seeing this scene, Han Sui couldn't help laughing again.

"Hahaha, it's exactly as I expected! The traitor Liu Zhang never thought that we would attack the city immediately!"

The Qiang soldiers climbed extremely fast, and every time Han Sui blinked, more soldiers would appear on the ladder.

Looking at the Qiang soldiers who were about to climb the city wall, Ma Chao couldn't help showing surprise.

Could it be that Yuzhong City was really defenseless?

What the defenders fear most is nothing more than the siege soldiers occupying the city walls.

Especially when the attacking party has a huge advantage in numbers, once the soldiers gain a firm foothold on the city wall, there will be a steady stream of soldiers attacking the city wall.

Relying on the huge number of people, the city will surely be captured.

Therefore, as the defender, blocking the enemy's progress is the most critical, especially creating the biggest obstacle for the attacking party climbing the ladder.

But seeing that the Qiang soldiers were about to climb up the city wall, the guards of Yuzhong City did not make any moves yet.

Could it be that Liu Zhang felt that the fighting power of the Qiang soldiers was not good enough?

Ma Chao can only explain everything in front of him by Liu Zhang underestimating the enemy.

In terms of individual combat strength, the Qiang soldiers are definitely far from the opponents of the Yizhou army, but on the not-so-wide city walls, this gap will be infinitely narrowed.

No matter how powerful the Yizhou army is, can it still fight against ten with one?

"Uncle Han, quickly send an army forward, and make sure to stand firm on the city wall! Maybe this is our great opportunity to capture Yuzhong!"

Ma Chao couldn't care less, and Liu Zhang was willing to give it a chance, so we can't blame them for being cruel!

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Han Sui nodded heavily, and he had exactly the same intention.

After some dispatch, at least 20,000 troops rushed out of the front again and kept approaching the city wall.

At the moment when Han Sui's reinforcements were dispatched in front of the formation, the counterattack on the Yuzhong city wall began.

At most, in the blink of an eye, countless Yizhou troops appeared densely on the entire city wall, covering all the battlements of the city wall.

The Yizhou army did not wait empty-handed for the Qiang soldiers to climb the city wall, but prepared countless gifts for these Qiang soldiers!

Countless stones appeared above the ladder, and without any hesitation, they smashed towards the Qiang soldiers at the top.

The screams sounded instantly, and all the Qiang soldiers who were about to climb up the city wall were smashed to pieces and fell from the ladder.

Being hit by a stone is already close to death, and then falling from such a high place, one can imagine the fate of the Qiang soldiers!

The originally very smooth offensive pace was immediately contained by the defenders.

Fortunately, the resistance of the defenders in Yuzhong City was very simple. They just lifted stones and threw them at the soldiers who were about to climb the ladder.

Therefore, the Qiang soldiers generally did not suffer much casualties.

"Damn it! This damned Liu Zhang is really not that easy to deal with!"

Watching the victory that was about to slip away, Ma Chao couldn't help but curse.

All the Qiang soldiers at the top were killed, either by being smashed to death or falling to death. The city wall that was originally thought to be able to stand had no chance at all.

Han Sui on the side was not as angry as Ma Chao, he sensed a problem from the actions of the soldiers defending the city.

"Meng Qi doesn't need to be so angry. If Liu Zhang didn't resist, wouldn't we be even more hopeless?"

Ma Chao nodded resentfully. Although the reasoning was true, seeing the attack from smooth to bumpy with his own eyes always made him unhappy.

"If you miss this opportunity, it may be difficult to climb the city wall again!"

The five-fold attack mentioned in the art of war is not a joke, and the losses of the attacking party are often more than five times that of the defending party.

If you encounter a general who is good at defense, you can even drag the enemy to death.

The 300,000 army seems amazing, but it can't break through the defense of Yuzhong City. There is no difference between 30,000 and 300,000.

"Hehe, Liu Zhangjun's resistance seems ferocious, but it actually exposed a problem! Can Meng Qi see it?"

Ma Chao was in a depressed mood, and he was not interested in joking with Han Sui at all, so he just shook his head.

"Also ask uncle for advice!"
