Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Chapter 937: The Battle of Shouchun (1)

Cao Cao and Sun Ce were both noncommittal about the distribution between the Yuzhou Army and the An Dong Army. As for Cao and Sun, their territory in Xuzhou has been divided by Huai Shui in a tacit understanding. However, in the cities within Jiujiang, the two advancing in two routes, one south and one north, are now under the control of Cao Cao in the north of Xiquyang and Yinling, and the cities since Huaishui, while the cities south of Xiquyang are basically controlled by Cao Cao. Sun Cejun occupied or surrounded.

After several discussions, the two companies decided to divide according to the existing site. As a result, Jiujiang was divided into two. The two counties of Xiacai and Heping, north of the Huai River, were also placed under the territory of Dangrunan under the struggle of Huangfu Chaobo. It's not that Cao Cao is unwilling to come, but that the two county towns are really not well managed. The two cities are located to the north of Huai Shui and west of Guoshui, and they are not very well managed, so they had to give up.

Another point is that Cao Cao felt that it would not be a big problem to put the two county towns into Kong Yu's hands first. When he drove the Huangfu Chaobo army to the west of Hulaoguan, wouldn't the counties of Yuzhou just let him decide? So Cao Cao didn't struggle with this.

After discussing the sites outside Shouchun, several people turned their attention to the city of Shouchun. Shouchun City is divided into four areas, the east is the area dominated by ordinary officials, the south is the area dominated by business travelers and civilians, the west is the area dominated by artisans and civilians, and the north is the inner city and the imperial city. It is the imperial city of the senior officials of the Zhong Dynasty and Yuan Shu.

After discussing for a while, after each person delineated the area near their respective city gates, the negotiation ended. As for the inner city and the imperial city, all the materials inside the three parties unanimously decided to distribute them based on the merits of the three companies, and the three armies would attack and distribute them fairly. But the three parties had consciously ignored the most important item Yuan Shu possessed.

The three parties discussed the offensive strategy again, and then they left and returned to their own camp to prepare. They discussed and decided that the army would rest for a day before starting the attack.

In 197 AD, the second year of Jian’an in the Han Dynasty and the second year of the Zhong family, on August 2nd, General Anton Huangfu Chaobo, Yuzhou Governor Kongyou, General Fenwei Cao Cao, and General Sun Ce, a total of nearly 300,000 princes from four directions Shouchun City, the capital of the Zhong Family Dynasty, launched an attack. For a time, smoke billowed at the head of Shouchun City, and this ancient city that had stood on the Huainan Plain for more than 600 years was once again caught in the flames of war.

The four princes were divided into three parts, and they launched fierce attacks in the east, south and west directions of Shouchun City.

After two days of preparation, all ministries have prepared a large amount of siege equipment, and Shouchun City has also prepared countless defense equipment, which can be used to fight under the wall of nearly three feet high.

On the first day of the war, the three armies cut off the moat of Shouchun City regardless of casualties. There were as many as 1,000 casualties in the three families. Of course, most of them were captured by Sergeant Yuan Shu, who were the main force in filling the river.

Beginning the next day, the three armies launched a tentative attack on the city wall.

Huangfu Chaobo’s An Dong army was in charge of the west wall. There was an urn city outside the west wall. The urn city gate opened to the north, and the height of the urn city wall was equal to the city wall. If the Anton Army wants to invade the west gate of Shouchun, which is within Dinghu Gate, then two gates must be opened before the army can enter the city.

And for a tightly guarded city like Shouchun City, tens of thousands of troops are defending in the city. It is not that difficult to attack the city wall and open the city gate from inside. This is not only true of the West Gate, but also the South Gate and East Gate.

In order to successfully capture the West City, Huang Zhong divided the 14th school soldiers into seven divisions, each equipped with 10,000 guards, and then the four main generals took turns to lead one soldier to attack the city, so that while training the generals, they also trained their troops. To this end, after the discussion, Huangfu Chaobo also specially ordered Runan and Lujiang counties to recruit tens of thousands of guards to Shouchun, so that there would be enough soldiers to train him.

Huangfu Chaobo believes that as long as the generals can control the casualties, after the end of this battle, the combat strength of the military battalions of various departments in Yuzhou will rise to a higher level. Although they cannot reach the level of elite soldiers and horses of the Anton Army, they are definitely better than before. The elite soldiers of the Yuzhou Army are much stronger. At that time, dealing with next year's war against Cao Cao should also be worthy of a war.

The battle in Shouchun was going on like fire. The three armies of the princes were attacking Yuan Shujun in the city. Although the battle was not so fierce, the army of the lords under the three walls did always attack Yuan Shujun on the wall. Maintaining strong pressure, once Yuan Shujun was half relaxed, the elite of the princes army suddenly launched an attack on the city wall.

Under the pressure of this kind of war, the three-sided offensive army attacked the city wall several times in the next few days. Although Yuan Shujun was eventually repelled, the morale of the defenders in the city grew over time The lower. Although there is no shortage of money and food in the city, there are no reinforcements outside, and the army has lost ground after more than a year. There are still many soldiers in the city who were transferred or withdrawn from other places. Their families and relatives were not in the city, and the situation outside the city was completely unknown, which made these soldiers uneasy.

Shouchun City, in the palace, took advantage of the fact that a few days after the attack, the army of the princes also needed a slight truce and rest, Yuan Shu, who described the haggard, once again called in his ministers for discussion. In the hall, although all the officials gathered, they were all less energetic.

"The princes thought that when the situation is now, how to retreat from the enemy?" Emperor Zhongjia sat high on the dragon chair and asked the ministers in the hall;

Everyone was silent.

In desperation, Yuan Shu looked at the general and said: "General, how is the general situation?"

"Return to your Majesty, in the days of war, my army had only a few thousand casualties, and the casualties of the three-way princes army were several times as many as mine. It is just that the morale of the army is getting worse and worse, and the ministers please reward the three armies!" Ji Ling bowed and replied. ;

When Yuan Shu heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Since he proclaimed himself emperor, he had already spent a lot of money just building the palace. In order to cope with the attacks of the princes, the recruitment and the building of weapons and equipment have left his treasury empty by nearly 30%. Now there is only one city of Shouchun left. The grain taxes of the other cities cannot be transported into the city. The food and salaries of the tens of thousands of troops are not a small expense. The three armies will be rewarded in the first few days of the war. What should we do later?

"From the general's opinion, how much is appropriate to reward?" Even so, Yuan Shu finally asked Ji Ling;

"In the opinion of the minister, at least one month's payment."
