This time the Jin army's attack used siege equipment that was almost three to four times that of the previous attacks. The experienced Xiang Yan immediately saw that Yue Fei was probably serious about this battle.
This battle may not be easy and straightforward!
As a result, Xiang Yan's expression became more and more solemn, and he quickly issued instructions one after another.
"Ding, Xiang Yanchu's soul skill is activated.
Chu Hun: Effect 1: When leading troops to fight, own command +3 and force +5.
Effect 2: When the force you are in is weaker than the enemy's force, your commander will gain an additional +1.
Effect 3: When you die, if you feel unwilling, regretful, worried, etc., you can pass on Chu Soul skills to your descendants. The specific degree of inheritance is affected by the talents of your descendants.
As soon as the effect of Xiang Yanchu's soul skill is activated, the command +3, the force +5, the basic command is 99 (+2), the current command is increased to 102, the basic force is 88 (-7), and the current force is increased to 93. "
Xiang Yan is getting older after all, and her physical condition has been declining. Over the years, although Xiang Yan has not given up some training every day, his force is still being developed step by step. Of course, instead, Xiang Yan's understanding of the art of war became increasingly strong.
The body will decline as one grows older, but the wisdom will often become more mature with the increase of experience.
At least Xiang Yan is very particular about the placement of his catapults. Placing the catapults behind the wall can reduce the enemy's attack on his own catapults to a certain extent. Moreover, with the assistance of the soldiers on the wall, the impact of our own catapults on the enemy's siege equipment will not be reduced much.
"Advance the catapult ten steps. Send the order to Huang Feihu to lead the assault!" Yue Fei stared at the camp in the distance with a calm expression. There was no emotion in his eyes to keep himself calm at all times.
"Ding, the second effect of Yue Fei's Martial Saint skill is activated. After activation, commander +2, intelligence +2, basic commander 103, basic intelligence 90, current commander rises to 105, current intelligence rises to 92."
Before this expedition, his lord Li Xiang had already told him that he must teach Xiang Yan and these clowns of the Xiang clan a lesson this time.
Originally, after hearing that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had withdrawn their troops, Yue Fei was worried that the Xiang clan would also withdraw. After all, if it were him, as a commander, he would choose to retreat at that time. However, the final result surprised him. The Xiang clan did not retreat, but instead stationed themselves there.
At first, Yue Fei thought that the other party had some conspiracy. After all, this behavior of the Xiang family was really inconsistent with common sense. But Yue Fei's subsequent feint attacks failed to produce any results, which made him very surprised for a time.
However, although he felt a little surprised in his heart, Yue Fei also silently plotted against Xiang Yan and secretly began to implement his attack plan. At the same time, he continued to test Xiang Yan through attacks again and again. This time, it was not only to test whether there was any conspiracy behind the other party. At the same time, Xiang Yan's tactics of using troops are also being observed through these battles.
"Brothers, follow me!" Huang Feihu roared, followed by groups of soldiers holding ladder trucks. Huang Feihu couldn't believe that he couldn't win such a small camp. No matter how strong the opponent's camp was, could it really be comparable to a city wall?
"Put up the ladder for me!" After reaching a similar distance, Huang Feihu began to order his soldiers.
Yan Laoer's camp took full advantage of the geographical advantages and was built on the mountain. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to mobilize so many ladder trucks for a mere five-meter-high camp wall.
Moreover, the slope in front of the camp also determined that things like the battering ram would not be used. Although it is not a particularly steep slope, it is okay for soldiers to charge by themselves, but it is unrealistic to drag large equipment. Otherwise, a wall made of wood and soil would be easier to destroy than a city wall.
"Hold still, archers, don't panic, keep shooting!" Veteran Xiang Yan remained calm and steady.
"Yingbu, Xiang Liu, you two lead three thousand elite soldiers. Wait until the enemy gets close to the wall and attack them! Remember, don't get too entangled with the enemy!" Xiang Yan turned to Yingbu and ordered.
It is naturally more difficult for the Jin army to attack from downhill to uphill, and the same distance will cost more casualties than on flat ground. However, if Yingbu and Xiang Liu rushed down from the slope, it would be completely opposite. The soldiers' combat power would be increased by three points with the help of the geographical advantage.
"Tell General Huang Feihu that Xiang Yan is sending people out of the stronghold and ask him to be more careful!" Yue Fei ordered to a messenger.
Yue Fei naturally didn't have a good ear and couldn't hear what Xiang Yan just said on the wall of the village. But as a famous general, he can analyze what the other party will do in the same situation! Moreover, these days of testing are not useless. Yue Fei already has a fairly good understanding of Xiang Yan's military use style.
"General Ju Yi, if the enemy troops leave the city, please prepare a ready army immediately. When the enemy troops engage General Huang, the general will immediately lead the attack with dead soldiers. There is no need to defeat the enemy, just stick to the enemy!" Yue Fei said again! ordered.
"General, I understand!" Ju Yi has the talent to lead troops and immediately understood what Yue Fei meant.
"Ask several generals Huang to go and help General Ju Yi!" Considering that the enemy had many strong generals and Ju Yi's military strength was average, Yue Fei simply temporarily transferred several of Huang Feihu's sons to Ju Yi.
This time Yue Fei really attacked with the purpose of breaking through the enemy's camp. If Ju Yi's soldiers who died first were allowed to stick to Yingbu, then when Yingbu was about to withdraw from the camp, Ju Yi could follow Yingbu's lead. The troops attacked the enemy's stronghold. After all, there will not be many enemy troops out of the stronghold. A sudden attack is okay, but a long-term battle will never be sustained.
After Xiang Yan is eliminated, he can also send more troops and horses to rescue, but Yue Fei is also prepared for this, and it does not prevent him from taking the next step.
Of course, it would be another matter if Xiang Yan gave up the troops who left the stronghold. Anyway, even if Ju Yi failed, he could still eat all the enemy's troops who left the stronghold in one go.
"General Li, if General Ju Yi invades the camp or the enemy troops come out to support, the general will immediately lead the Feihu Army to attack!" Yue Fei ordered to Li Cunxiao on the other side.
If Ju Yi succeeds, with the speed of the Flying Tiger Army, he can rush in in the shortest time and stabilize the situation with Ju Yi. And with the strength of Li Cunxiao and the Feihu Army, if they were allowed to go in, it would be difficult for Xiang Yan to drive them out. If Ju Yi fails, it doesn't matter. Ju Yi will be responsible for dealing with Xiang Jun who leaves the stronghold, and the Feihu Army will continue to wait for orders.
