Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 351 Wei Rui Confronts the Forbidden Phase

Sili Xiaowei Department has served as the capital for 200 years, and it still has a high status in the minds of people today.So when Xu Huang guarded here, he was extra careful.Xu Huang was compared to Zhou Yafu by Cao Cao, so we can know his character.Zhou Yafu was a man who paid great attention to military regulations. Even the emperor could not enter without permission. This is the story of the famous Xiliu Camp.

The same is true for Xu Huang, who is also famous for his military discipline and is very careful.That's why he was able to hold on for a month under the attack of Xue Rengui's army, and he was still impregnable.

Since Luoyang was abandoned by Dong Zhuo, it has been dilapidated, but the city wall has not been damaged much.Since Emperor Qi came from the east, Cao Cao had let Zhong Yao manage the affairs of state for many years. Although there are few people in Luoyang now, the city defense has recovered to what it was before Dong Zhuo's rebellion.

Wei Rui was stationed in Wen County, and received Yu Jin to Huai County in less than half a month. He immediately sent a large number of scouts to secretly monitor the areas around Pinggao and Chenggao, and collected a large number of ships, which can be blocked at any time in the south of the river. The ban.

Yu Jin was in Huai County, and he also knew that Wei Rui was in Wen County.Yu Jin is a very cautious person, and Wei Rui has become famous in the past two years. Yu Jin has heard of Wei Rui's deeds to some extent, and the two have many similarities.But the two are different. Wei Rui seeks out the shortcomings of others to win, while Yu Jin focuses on training and commanding troops.

Wei Rui's strengths made Yu Jin afraid, he was afraid that Wei Rui would catch him if he showed any flaws, that's why he did so.

However, Yu Jin did not stay in Huai County, but chose to march to Pinggao.Pinggao is to the north of the river, and Chenggao is to the south of the river.The reason why Yu Jin didn't go to Chenggao was because Zhang Yi's navy was strong. Although Yu Jin had many ships, he was afraid of fighting Wei Rui on the river.

After Cheng Gao was stationed, Yu Jin was also thinking of countermeasures.His purpose is to rescue Xu Huang, and it's not a problem to be stopped all the time.Either he defeated Wei Rui, or he ignored Wei Rui and directly rescued Luoyang.

Yu Jin quickly made a choice. He would first defeat Wei Rui and then rescue Luoyang.If he chooses to rescue directly, he is likely to be flanked by Wei Rui from behind after being blocked by Xue Rengui.

So Yu Jin moved his troops to Wen County and invited Wei Rui to fight.However, Wei Rui didn't care about it at all. He sent people to cruise on the river, and he didn't shy away from Yu Jin's scouts at all, just to tell Yu Jin that it was very difficult for you to cross the river.

There are many Jiangdong people in Wei Rui's army, and it is no problem to play in the water.Wei Rui selected these people and temporarily organized them into an army, sailing boats on the river, recruiting them whenever they encountered ships, and attacking those who refused to accept the call.

Many ships under Yu Jin's command were attacked by Wei Rui's subordinates, and many ships were captured or scuttled by Wei Rui's subordinates.

Seeing that Wei Rui didn't want to fight, Yu Jin became a little anxious.Wei Rui's purpose was to stop him. As long as he didn't go to Luoyang, Wei Rui would have completed his mission and there was no need to fight at all.

Yu Jin wanted to understand this, and immediately returned to the Pinggao area, began to collect boats, and made preparations for crossing the river.Yu Jin wanted to lure Wei Rui out. As long as Wei Rui came out, he could force the war.

But after waiting for several days, I only saw Wei Rui's navy, but not Wei Rui's cavalry.This made Yu Jin very depressed, Wei Rui was not fooled.

Of course Wei Rui won't be fooled. The ships in several nearby counties are under his control. If Yu Jin wants to cross the river, he will know soon, and he will just go straight to the cavalry assault.

Wei Rui even designed two plans, that is, when the ban crosses the river, the river will definitely divide the forbidden army into two parts.And Yu Jin was either on the south of the river or on the north of the river, so he couldn't take care of both.Then he asked the cavalry to attack the side where Yu Jin was not there, so as to ensure that the army without Yu Jin's command could be defeated.

Yu Jin didn't let Wei Rui get what he wanted either, he turned back to Wen county again, and directly drove his troops to attack the city. Since Wei Rui couldn't be allowed to fight, he just attacked directly.

In fact, Wei Rui didn't really want to fight Yu Jin in Wen County. The city of Wen County wasn't too big, even if it had a moat, it wouldn't last long.

He is a general who loves his soldiers like his son, and he doesn't want his soldiers to suffer too many casualties.Although defending the city has advantages, it is a tough battle. He has only been in Wen County for more than a month, and he has not collected a lot of materials for defending the city.After all, he still needs to collect ships, which also requires a lot of manpower.

However, he also has a clever way to deal with Yu Jin's siege. There are indeed many wells outside the city, but Wei Rui ordered a small well to be erected on the city wall, only two feet high.But after the well and the city wall are added, it will be more than five feet long.

This kind of well fence is much higher than outside the city, and one can know the well fence outside the city from a condescending height.And even if the enemy ascended the city wall, these wells could still play a role.However, Wei Rui didn't believe that Yu Jin's soldiers could climb the city wall, unless there were a few peerless generals in the Yu Jin army, otherwise, Wei Rui had absolute confidence in defending Wen County.

Yu Jin attacked the city for three days, causing more than 5000 casualties, which made Yu Jin a little unbearable.

There were less than 500 casualties in Wei Rui City, which was harmless at all.

Wei Rui let people watch the collection of corpses outside the city every day, and estimated Yu Jin's casualties.Seeing that Yu Jin had lost so much, he began to calculate in his heart.

Such a casualty situation, Yu Jin would definitely not be able to bear it, so he would definitely think of some way.What can Yu Jin think of?Then we had to find a way to cross the river.

As Wei Rui expected, Yu Jin also became depressed outside the city.

"Sure enough, recruits are still not good enough. Compared with elite soldiers, they are far worse."

This time Cao Pi sent more than [-] reinforcements, and naturally it is impossible for all of them to be veterans.There are only [-] veterans among the more than [-], and the rest are recruits.

Before Cao Cao trained more than [-] troops in Jizhou, most of them were stationed in Xuchang Runan and Guanzhong.When Guanzhong was occupied, those veterans were basically captured by Xue Rengui, and Cao Pi asked Xu Huang to garrison Luoyang, all with veterans.

In this way, there are not many veterans left. Fortunately, in the past two years, many veterans have been trained, otherwise Yecheng is basically empty now.

More than half of Yu Jin's army were recruits who were forcibly conscripted, participated in one or two military trainings, and then were taken to the battlefield.

After such a heavy casualty, these people have not much morale.Although Yu Jin has a strong commanding ability, he is not very good at boosting morale.

Yu Jin was a little overwhelmed, the casualties in the siege were too great, and the enemy army should not be invited to fight, so Yu Jin could only find a way to cross the river.
