The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 956 Attacking Lujiang County City
The army in the city caused huge losses to Huang Gai and the others in one attack.

At this time, Huang Gai was even more confused about Zhang Yu's arrangement.

"Old General Huang, even if the city of Hefei is empty, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it down after a month of mad attack." Jiang Qin said.

Huang Gai nodded, and calculated based on the strength of the troops in the city just now, even if it was the entire strength of the enemy, it would not be able to attack in a short time.

In fact, there are far more soldiers and horses in the city than Huang Gai and the others estimated.

Because some of the troops going south came here in disguise. They pretended to be civilians transporting grain and grass. In fact, the weapons and equipment were all included in the baggage.

After discussing with Jiang Qin, Huang Gai said, "Let's attack Chao County immediately. Chao County is more important. We must find out the enemy's true intentions."

Huang Gai and the others still can't figure out Zhang Yu's intentions, which really gives them a headache.

Jiang Qin agreed, and the two packed up their soldiers and horses and left immediately.

Thousands of soldiers were left in vain, but there was no way.

Chao County, if they march quickly, they can arrive in one day. They arrived at Chao County the next afternoon and surrounded Chao County.

Chao County has been fortified, but the city has not been expanded, and it is not very large. However, unlike Hefei City, this Chao County has been built into an important military town.

When Huang Gai and others came to Chao County, they immediately felt that Chao County was not easy to fight.

Chao County is near the lake, and there are many water systems passing by, so there are actually two moats here, and the wide suspension bridge on the moats has been closed.

This is an important military town, not easy to attack.

"General Huang, it may take a day just to fill the moat." Jiang Qin said helplessly.

Huang Gai shook his head and said, "The second moat is only 40 meters away from the city wall. The bow and arrow can already reach it. I'm afraid it will take longer."

The two were helpless, with the moat blocking them, they could only fill in slowly.

Sun Ce's soldiers and horses began to fill in the moat. No one stopped the first moat and let them fill it.

It was more than an hour after dark that night that they filled up the moat.

After filling up the first moat, they didn't immediately fill in another one, because the night was easy to be attacked.

When the next day was just dawn, they began to fill in the moat again, this time they were going to fill in the moat with shields.

One carried a shield, and the other two carried sacks filled with sand to fill.

In this way, the efficiency is naturally much lower.

The soldiers in the city would naturally use arrows to interfere, but they didn't interfere all the time. Some soldiers used them to practice arrows, and occasionally they would shoot a volley.

While Huang Gai and the others were wasting time in Hefei City and Chao County, the siege of Lujiang County was about to begin.

After more than a day of preparation, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses have prepared a large number of ladders.

When a new day came, Jiangdong soldiers and horses left the barracks after having breakfast.

There are heavy soldiers on all four walls, and the soldiers in front are neatly arranged with ladders.

Several young generals have already reached their respective city walls, and they will be in charge of a city wall to launch a strong attack.

The soldiers lined up neatly, and a murderous air permeated the air.

"What a great army." Zhu Zhi watched from the top of the city, and sighed for Jiangdong's soldiers.

Although Jiangdong's soldiers behaved well, Zhu Zhi was not worried.

After Jiangdong's army is ready, the attack will begin.

The four walls attacked simultaneously.

"Archer, throw."

The first to attack were the archers, who ventured into the enemy's range and shot at the enemy on the wall.

The dense array of arrows arrived, so that the soldiers on the top of the city did not dare to stick out the battlements easily. At this time, the soldiers who hit the city wall rushed quickly.

As soon as the ladder leaned against the city wall, the soldiers began to rush up like a tide.

The ladders are very dense, there is one more than one meter, and the city walls are densely arranged.

The soldiers began to charge wildly and were knocked down, followed by others behind them.

"Quick, let the soldiers below quickly transport the stones and logs."

"Soldiers don't go down when they come up, let the civilian husband help transport."

As soon as he started to attack, he felt the pressure on the top of the city. Zhu Zhi frowned. He didn't expect that Jiangdong's attack didn't follow the rules at all.

The so-called method is to encircle three and lack one, and there must be several rounds of probing attacks no matter what.

However, there were no soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and it was the most violent attack.

And the archers risked huge casualties to shoot at the soldiers on the city below the city.

You know, the archers in the city are protected by the city wall, and their range and attack power are both increased, but they don't seem to know this truth.

In fact, it didn't take much advantage to hit the city on the head.

After all, the space above the city is limited, and there must be room for soldiers to attack the city, and a channel for civilians to transport supplies.

The casualties on both sides are similar, and it depends on who has the courage at this time.

In the end, of course, Jiangdong's soldiers had the courage, regardless of casualties, and would never retreat without orders.

The archers in the city were gradually at a disadvantage.

At this time, some soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city, but the soldiers defending the city could stick their heads out and attack them with spears.

However, the archers below kept a close eye on them. After they poked their heads out to attack, before they had time to retract, a few arrows would come from the city.

It is often the soldiers on the top of the city who kill a soldier who climbs up, and then are killed by the archers below the city.

It's really a life for a life, and the two sides used the way of fighting for their lives not long after the fight.

Zhu Zhi patrolled around the top of the city for a few times. There were not many flaws in the defense, but the situation was serious.

Things have exceeded Zhu Zhi's expectations.

"If the county is lost, Poyang Lake will be in danger. The generals must understand this truth. As long as I stick to it for more than half a month, I will have a chance."

Zhu Zhi secretly evaluated, estimating what level he needs to reach.

It does not take half a month for the support to arrive, but the enemy will not give up the attack as soon as the support arrives, and I am afraid it will go through a bloody battle.

Zhu Zhi walked down the city wall. He was going to find the aristocratic families in the city and ask their servants to organize themselves so that they could help if necessary.

Many people have done this to let the guards of the aristocratic family participate in the defense of the city, and Zhu Zhi is well prepared.

Jiangdong soldiers and horses attacked wave after wave, without stopping in the middle, and the army changed batch after batch.

Such a fierce attack was relatively rare in Jiangdong's battle.

A few teenagers even led people to charge, which was very crazy.

These young generals trained by Zhang Yu are intelligent, passionate, and extremely loyal to Zhang Yu.

They are also eager for military merit, and Zhang Yu has never been stingy with rewarding military merit.

The crazy attack caused huge losses to both sides.

At the end of the first day of the attack, the casualties on both sides were almost the same, and both sides lost more than 6000 people.
