Three Kingdoms Online Games: Battle for Hegemony

Chapter 946: The Battle of Shouchun (10)

Less than a quarter of an hour after the Huang Wudie's retreat, the soldiers in the next round of attack attacked the city again amidst bursts of trumpets, and a new round of war began again.

The war in Shouchun City continued in this way. Not only that, in order to better combat the morale of the defenders, the three-way princes outside the city also began night harassment. Although Ji Ling had organized the army to go out of the city for two night attacks, he only achieved a limited effect on Sun Cejun.

The Anton Army has a large number of cavalry. Yuan Shujun was discovered by the cavalry as soon as he left the city. In the end, he lost a handful of rice after stealing the chicken. The five thousand soldiers and horses that came out of the city assaulted only less than two hundred men and fled back to the city. Captured by the Anton Army.

However, Cao Cao's army had a large number of troops, and had arranged enough patrol posts outside the city as early as Yuan Shujun could not take advantage of it.

In this way, by the end of August, the three-way princes were losing nearly half of their soldiers and horses. However, the three-way army continued to replenish some soldiers and horses, and the army remained at around 200,000. And Yuan Shujun also lost five to sixty thousand troops. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Yuan Shujun’s morale is getting lower and lower, even if the morale of the soldiers who can fight is low, they become more and more when fighting against the princes. It's difficult.

In the city of Shouchun, in the palace, the Emperor Yuan Shu of the Zhong clan, who had been besieged for nearly a month, had become haggard and unkempt, and he could no longer see the energetic emperor's face when he first ascended the throne.

The war for more than a year had caused Yuan Shu to be devastated, but the war in the past month has made him more anxious. Although Ji Ling, the paster of the Zhong dynasty, did his best, he still couldn't save the dying Zhong dynasty.

Separation, night attack, Ji Ling used almost all the methods he could think of, but Yuan Shujun's situation was getting worse.

On the east city wall, Ji Ling looked at the Sergeant Cao Cao who had repelled again, then looked up at the sky, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief. Today’s battle has finally passed, from the beginning of the war to the present one month. In time, Ji Ling has hardly ever stepped down the city wall. A few days ago, he had led his own guards to participate in the war.

One month's battle has caused Yuan Shujun's casualties to reach 40,000, with more than 10,000 serious injuries and even more minor injuries. The only soldiers and horses who were not injured were the 10,000 Yulin Army guarding the palace.

Looking at the exhausted soldiers on the wall, Ji Ling knew that after a month of fighting, many soldiers were on the verge of collapse, but he didn't have time to care about them now. After calling the lieutenant and confessing some things to him, Ji Ling hurriedly rushed towards the palace under the guard of his own soldiers. This was something he must do after the end of the fighting every day.

Under the **** of more than a hundred personal guards, Ji Ling walked along the streets of Shouchun City. Nowadays, there are no people in the city of Shouchun. Both ordinary people and noble families are staying in their own homes, waiting fearfully for the end of the war. One good thing is that there are many soldiers in Shouchun City, so Ji Ling did not recruit civilians to go to the city, so the situation in the city is fairly stable. Nowadays, there is no one on the streets of the city except the soldiers on patrol.

When Ji Ling hurried to the palace hall, Shu Shao and the others were already waiting in the hall. What surprised him was that the emperor had already sat on the throne, and Ji Ling was so scared that he knelt down and bowed: "Weichen, see your majesty! "

"The general is flat." Yuan Shu raised his hand to Ji Ling with a tired face and said; "General, how about the battle at the head of the city?"

Yuan Shu asked as soon as Ji Ling was together;

Ji Ling smiled bitterly, and bowed and replied: "Every city wall has ended today's war, and the princes have returned to the camp, but the morale of our soldiers is low, and the ministers...please your Majesty to prepare early."

Everyone was shocked, has it reached this point?

"General, why is this? At the beginning, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Picheng. Under the attack of Cao's 100,000 troops, it can still support more than a year. Now I have nearly 200,000 troops in Shouchun City, why only have more than a month The time situation has reached such a point? Is there too much loss of troops? I immediately decree to recruit troops!" Yuan Shu hurriedly asked when he heard it;

"Your Majesty, the times are different. At the beginning, although there were only tens of thousands of troops to defend the city, all the generals knew the general strategy of the army, so they were able to inspire the soldiers to fight to death, and then the ministers led the troops to support them. , And the city are horns to each other, and the soldiers are at ease, just like this."

"But now the city of Shouchun is not ordinary. Since last year, the army has lost successively and lost ground, and its morale has been falling. Now Shouchun has only one city left with no reinforcements outside, and soldiers have been fighting for more than a year. , Has also been exhausted by the division veterans. Therefore..."

When Yuan Shu heard it, it took a long time to murmur: "So, it's no wonder that when I gathered the ministers to discuss matters, so many people did not come. It was either that the family members were seriously ill or were unwell. That's why..."

When Ji Ling heard this, he didn't understand what was going on. He immediately turned his head and looked at Shu Shao. Upon seeing this, Shu Shao quickly explained to Ji Ling that it turned out that Yuan Shu saw that today’s battle was about to end, so he wanted to gather his ministers for discussion. Fan, to see if there was an increase in troops, as a result, there were more than 20 important officials, only Shu Shao and a few others came to see him, and the others shied away with various excuses.

"Zhu Ziqi dare!" When Ji Ling heard this, he suddenly jumped into thunder, and he didn't care about being in the hall now, and said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, please decree to punish such officials without kings and fathers!"

Yuan Shu was sober after being yelled at by Ji Ling, and calmly stopped the angry Ji Ling said: "Ai Qing doesn't need to be like this, I am very relieved that Qing is waiting. Let's discuss how to withdraw from the enemy. ."

"If you say retreat from the enemy, it's actually impossible," Yan Xiang beside him suddenly said;

"Oh! Aiqing, please speak clearly!"

"Your Majesty, the general just now said that the reason for the unfavorable situation is due to the low morale. It is now until September, and winter is coming soon, when the enemy can retreat without a fight. So if my army's morale is boosted , And support for one to two months."

Yan Xiang’s words made everyone’s eyes shine bright. Yes, winter is coming soon. In winter, the sky is freezing, let alone siege, even if the army stays in the wild for a long time, there is a danger of collapse. In the coming days, the army of the princes will withdraw from the army, even if they do not withdraw from Jiujiang, the Siege of Shouchun will definitely be lifted. Moreover, the defenders in the city only need morale recovery, let alone one or two months, even half a year is no problem, even if the morale recovers only a few percent, it is enough to support several months.
