Wang Qizhi looked very worried and said: "Wei Meng still has almost 100,000 troops. I am afraid we will lose more soldiers in the next battle. This is what I don't want to see."
Although Wei Meng has now given up on Yuzhou, he still controls the seven states in the world, and his strength cannot be underestimated. As time goes by, he does not know how many more armies he will summon.
Pang Tong offered another plan, saying: "While the Wei and Meng troops have not yet rested, let Wu Anyi's army launch an attack on Xuzhou immediately, and capture it in one fell swoop before the Wei troops could react."
Wang Qizhi nodded and said: "That's very good. This will shrink Wei Meng's territory again and weaken his power. We will use this method to swallow up Wei Meng bit by bit."
Then, he wrote a secret letter, ordering Wu Anyi to capture Xuzhou within half a month, and those who violated the order would be severely punished.
Although Wang Qizhi and Wu Anyi are brothers, there is no personal relationship on the battlefield, only military orders, so that the army can be invincible.
After receiving the letter, Wu Anyi was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "Wang Qizhi, that bastard, doesn't he understand the current situation? Now Wei Meng has sent troops to support, and they have been stationed in the city of Guanglin County for a long time. With an army of 30,000 people, can we win with only 50,000 people?"
There are no more than one person in the army who can call Wang Qizhi this way, including Erdan, Wu Anyi, Jiang Yiyi and Sun Xiangman.
All the soldiers below kept silent. They didn't dare to interrupt. If they were not careful, they would be assigned the hat of a criminal, and they would be beheaded.
Ma Mengfan stood up and said: "General, don't be angry. Although there are 30,000 people garrisoned in Guanglin, most of their soldiers have just finished the battle and are extremely tired. It is not impossible to capture Xuzhou." possible."
While the discussion in the big tent was in full swing, a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat, black clothes, and his face suddenly walked in from outside.
Seeing this, everyone in the tent pulled out their weapons, and Wu Anyi even asked warily: "Who are you?"
The man slowly said: "Don't be nervous. My name is Jiang Chong, and I am the commander of the embroidered clothes. This time, I followed the order of His Highness and led 10,000 embroidered clothes commanders to help you."
Wu Anyi was still a little skeptical and said: "What evidence do you have?"
Jiang Chong took out a token from his sleeve, threw it to Wu Anyi, and said, "Boy, you never let down your guard at any time. This alone is worthy of praise."
After Wu Anyi looked at the token in his hand, he asked his men to take back their weapons and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's so stingy to abandon it. It was only given to so few people."
Jiang Chong was almost amused by these words and said: "Boy, don't be dissatisfied. If there were more than 10,000 martial arts masters hidden in that city, I wouldn't come even if you asked me to come!"
The more Wu Anyi looked at this person, the more unhappy he became. Wasn't he just a commander? He looks so awesome, he almost doesn’t know who he is.
Jiang Chong ignored the little brat and turned to leave, saying: "We have agreed that those masters belong to us and no one can interfere."
After that, he left here without looking back.
Ma Mengfan said: "General, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. If those soldiers are allowed to breathe, this battle may be difficult to fight."
Wu Anyi immediately summoned all the soldiers to prepare for action. They set up camp under the city. Dozens of trebuchets loaded up boulders and fire altars and launched an attack on the city wall, killing many soldiers. At the same time, the fire altar fell on the city, and suddenly A raging fire was ignited, and many people were killed in the flames.
When the boulders and fire altars were all used up, Wu Anyi stood on the general cart and waved his hand. The soldiers pushed the ladder and the red cart towards the city wall. After reaching the bow and arrow range, the two sides began to shoot arrows at each other. Many soldiers were killed. Killed by bow and arrow.
When Wu Anyi's army rushed under the city wall, the defenders began to use various heavy objects to smash down. At the same time, they poured pots of boiled gold juice down the city wall. The soldiers who were attacking the city were either knocked off the ladder. , or be burned by the golden juice and scream, and eventually fall off the ladder.
The so-called golden juice is boiled with human urine and feces. Because of its yellow color, it is called golden juice. It is used to attack soldiers who are attacking the city. If you are burned by this thing, even if you are not dead at the time, you will eventually die from the wound. Being polluted and dying, and at the same time disgusting the enemy, this shows how much this thing is hated by soldiers.
Although the Wei and Meng troops had extraordinary combat effectiveness, they were not iron men and were tireless. They were already exhausted when they came to support and were unable to stop the enemy from attacking the city wall.
At this moment, a large number of masters suddenly appeared on the city wall. Seeing this, Jiang Chong immediately ordered his men to attack. Hundreds of thousands of people from both sides fought fiercely on the city wall. Many soldiers were cut off from the city wall. After a while, the city wall was covered with a thick layer of corpses, and blood began to flow down the city wall, directly dyeing it red.
Wu Anyi looked at the bloody city wall, and his heart was severely shaken. Every victory and battle was paved with fresh lives. Is this what those in power pursue?
Because the enemy army was exhausted, they were forced to retreat step by step, but no one surrendered. Wu Anyi flew to the top of the city and said to the soldiers who had no way to retreat: "You should surrender! Don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices." ”
The soldiers looked at each other and saw that they had no way to retreat, so they jumped off the city wall one after another to prove their ambition by dying!
When Wu Anyi saw this, he closed his eyes tightly. These soldiers were really brave, and they were really scary.
The battle on Jiang Chong's side was almost settled. These Jianghu people were not as courageous as those soldiers. They had escaped long ago and surrendered. However, Jiang Chong did not have the habit of accepting prisoners, and he eventually killed them all.
After the war, Wu Anyi sent someone to make statistics. They found that they actually lost 40,000 people in this war. This shocked him. This exhausted army not only resisted them for so long, but also with a strength of 30,000 people. , they have eliminated so many of their soldiers. If they can really catch their breath, they will definitely lose this battle!
Fortunately, after capturing Xuzhou, Wu Anyi could give Wang Qizhi an explanation.
After learning the result of the Xuzhou battle, Wang Qizhi was a little surprised. Thirty thousand exhausted troops actually killed 40,000 of them. What kind of will is this?
At the same time, Wang Qizhi finally understood that sentence, it is not about having more soldiers but about being better. He immediately called Dian Yi and other generals over and asked them to speed up the training of the army, at least as strong as Wei Meng's army.
