Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms, God of War Lu Bu

Fortunately, Xia Houyuan was not fighting alone. Cao Cao sent Li Dian to assist him, which was a clever move and played an even more important role at this time.

Li Dian's original plan was to feign an attack, firstly to confuse the enemy troops, and secondly to share the pressure on Xiahouyuan's side, but before he could take action, he discovered that Xiahouyuan's offensive was unexpectedly fierce, and he secretly screamed that something was wrong.

, but he was very decisive and immediately revised the original battle plan of directly attacking the city, and instead made the decision to wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, although Yangwu was a well-defended city, in the face of Xia Houyuan's reckless attack, it still couldn't help but tilt most of its defensive forces that way.

Li Dian's departure from the vanguard army was relatively low-key and was not discovered by the enemy forces in the city. Xia Houyuan used all his strength to give people the illusion that the vanguard army was swarming forward. Zhang Chi did not expect that they had divided their forces, so the entire protective force was basically limited.

They were concentrated on Xia Houyuan's side, so that when Li Dian finally ordered his more than a thousand men, who had been preparing to attack, to rush forward and attack the city in a turbulent manner, the defenders at the city gate were completely unprepared, and almost completely

Soon the enemy troops climbed onto the tower.

Yangwu City has one of its biggest flaws. Under normal circumstances, it may be able to cover it up with the number of defenders, but at this time, it can only completely expose its weakness. Compared with a real fortified city, the towers here are much shorter.

, but it invisibly provided a lot of convenience for Li Dian's subordinates to advance first. With the number of defenders reduced, their strength weakened, and they were unprepared for a sudden attack, their defense was as weak as a piece of paper.

Even Li Dian didn't expect that his side's battle would go so smoothly. Xia Houyuan's rapid offensive was indispensable. It might have been his fault, because if he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to defeat Yangwu.

Zhang Chi was very good at defending the city, and his men were all in high morale. Although Cao Jun was able to cause damage to the defenders, he also suffered heavy losses. Even if he could finally break through the city, he would probably have to pay a lot of effort.

The price was high, and a lot of time was consumed in the process, which could not achieve the strategic goal expected by Xia Houyuan at all. However, once Li Dian succeeded, Xia Houyuan became their cover. Although they were the first to break the city,

Xia Houyuan's side is the main battlefield.

And actually breaking through the city gate here can only be said to be a good start for Cao Jun, because even if they slaughtered all the city defenders in this area, they would not be able to defeat the defenders of Yangwucheng.

The impact is not very big. The most important thing is the strategic significance of breaking the city. After all, the city walls and towers are the most effective defense and cannot be compared with simple soldiers. Once the city is invaded, it will be another form of battle.

.

For the defenders of Yangwucheng, this would be a major blow to them. Li Dian knew this better, so he was not in a hurry to enter the city at the first time. Instead, he ordered people to spread the news and spread the news.

As two groups, one naturally stepped up to report back to Xia Houyuan, report the military situation here, and let them spread it to the enemy on the city. While exerting pressure on the city, it also revived the somewhat shaken morale of our own side, and of course continued the attack.

On the other side, the city gate should go around here and break into the city with Li Dian. It is up to Xia Houyuan to choose. However, based on Li Dian's understanding of his character, he will most likely choose the former; on the other hand, he will attack from inside the city where the main force of the Yangwu garrison is.

Facing the city gate, creating a commotion to attract the opponent's attention, hoping to disrupt their military morale, would not only prove the words spread by Xia Houyuan, but also deal another major blow to the main force of the defenders.

When Li Dian's troops and horses arrive, they will be able to form a pincer attack inside and outside the city, which will be a huge pressure on the main force of the lone defender.

When Xia Houyuan received the news from Li Dian's people, he couldn't believe it. Although he had a good personal relationship with Li Dian, Xia Houyuan was arrogant and arrogant. Now he always felt like he was being overpowered by Li Dian. Naturally, it was impossible for him to do so.

He led his troops to collect his legacy, but he did not refuse the suggestion of spreading the news, and sent several loud voices in the army to shout at the top of their lungs for a while in front of the city gate.

However, this does not seem to have much impact on the defenders on the city tower. Zhang Chi has great authority in the army. With him personally in charge, the morale of the army will not be easily shaken, not to mention the words from the enemy. Originally,

His credibility among the military is also low.

If this were the case, there would be basically no impact on the war situation. Xia Houyuan could not easily move Yangwucheng. However, the defenders would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to retreat from the enemy.

The situation changed again when the people Li Dian sent who were the first to enter the city made a move that disturbed Zhang Chi. Only when the news reached him did he feel something bad.

Although his face was calm, his heart was actually heavy.

He knew very well that Yangwucheng's city defense was not as strong as it seemed. The fact was that even if there was no pressure from Li Dian's side, if Xia Houyuan had more men and horses and more siege equipment, then Yangwucheng would probably

It has long been unable to withstand it. This is an innate flaw of the city that cannot be compensated for by manpower.

But now, even the remaining strength of the city that they could rely on has been eliminated. At this time, all they can do is to make up for it with their own flesh and blood.

However, it is too difficult to achieve this. Zhang Chi is not Zhang Liao. Although he has always had prestige among the defenders, his prestige is not enough to stabilize the morale of the army at this critical moment and to suppress the soldiers when they are attacked.

The instinct of panic, and the turbulence of morale is actually a more dangerous thing than the city gate being broken open.

"General, there is nothing we can do. If we continue to stay here, we will only fall into their siege. If we don't retreat to the inner city, we can hold on and form a stalemate, at least until reinforcements arrive."

The lieutenant general's persuasion moved Zhang Chi's heart. Although Yangwu City was not big, it was quite well-organized. Except for the fact that there was no running water nearby and no protective pond, the Wengcheng and inner and outer cities were all in place. At this time, Li Dian conquered the city.

, it is just a gate in the outer city, and a certain number of guards are also arranged in the inner city. If they are included in the main force, which has completely preserved a lot of strength, and they retreat, let alone waiting for reinforcements to arrive, it will form a stalemate with the enemy.

Needless to say, the only worry is that the inner city does not have enough reserves, whether it is supplies or ordnance, it is not a small problem.

However, after a long time, Zhang Chi nodded heavily and made up his mind.

But before he could fully convey the order, there was the sound of soldiers fighting from behind, and the loud shouts of killing. Looking inside the city, they found that it was indeed Cao's army who was charging in. At this time, they were already advancing.

Arrive at the bottom of Wengcheng.

What a fast speed!

The faces of Zhang Chi and other generals all changed. Not long after they received the news, the enemy troops had already arrived, giving them little time to react. Maybe the enemy generals were already in control of this, and they were already on their way.

Only when they arrive do they make noise, confuse them, make them lose the initiative, and completely fall into passivity.

And it just happened that at this time, Xia Houyuan outside the city seemed to have a tacit understanding, and suddenly stepped up the offensive. The defenders who were already familiar with their siege rhythm were caught off guard, and the originally solid defense was torn apart.

At the opening, Cao's army attacked the tower here for the first time, and the shouts of killing from Li Dian's troops in Wengcheng were getting closer and closer.

There was no room for hesitation or consideration at all. He gritted his teeth. At this time, Zhang Chi could only bite the bullet and said: "General Yu, you lead your troops to resist the enemy forces in the city. The others will follow me and drive these Xiaoxiao down the city. This time we can all

We have to fight—kill!”

"kill!"

The final battle has begun, but in fact Zhang Chi and General Yigan already had a premonition that this time they might be doomed.
