The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 957

A day's attack is difficult for both sides. If the loss continues like this, Zhu Zhi knows that he will not be able to hold for half a month.

Zhu Zhi called several lieutenants over.

"Everyone knows the casualties today. If it continues, we may not be able to defend for ten days." Zhu Zhi said solemnly.

A lieutenant patted the table and said: "General Zhu, the enemy is the attacker, and there is no way to maintain such an intensity of attack. Their soldiers will definitely not be able to stand it first."

Another deputy general also said: "That is, can they keep it for three days, and can they keep it for five days?"

Zhu Zhi can also be regarded as a very capable general, and his status in the Sun Group is quite high.

Of course he understands this.

"We are the defender, and the enemy is the attacker. This will be very clear. Today's attack can show the determination of the enemy. How do we know that they have no support?"

Yes, what if the enemy army has support.

Although they also have support, it is very difficult to say who can fight the reinforcements from both sides.

"It was reported earlier that a group of troops from Danyang County was moving towards Poyang Lake, but I don't know the number of enemy troops. If Zhang Yu is determined to take over the entire Poyang Lake area, there may be many enemy troops."

Zhu Zhi's words made several lieutenants calm down.

After Zhu Zhi and the others understood their situation, they said: "The loss was too great today, and the enemy fought us desperately. If it is still the same tomorrow, we must also fight them desperately, and we must suppress their arrogance."

"Starting tomorrow, each will be in charge of a city wall, and send out a supervisory team, so that the archers will fight against them regardless of casualties."

Zhu Zhi understood that only when the enemy dared not fight recklessly, could they stop fighting and consume, so they could naturally defend for a longer period of time.

After Zhu Zhi gave the order, several deputy generals took the order, and then went to prepare separately.

Zhu Zhi couldn't sleep, so he went back to the city wall. Jiangdong's soldiers and horses rarely attacked overnight, and only a few battles attacked day and night.

The night was very calm, Zhu Zhi patrolled around, and there was still a strong smell of blood on the top of the city. During the day, many soldiers spilled blood on the spot.

Looking at the military camp with many flames in the distance, Zhu Zhi felt uneasy.

The next day, the enemy troops assembled outside early in the morning, and this time Zhu Zhi also led the generals to the city wall.

Last night's vigil, the soldiers had already been replaced to rest, and now they were replaced by soldiers who had already rested.

"attack."

Jiangdong's army attacked again.

Just like the day and night before, the soldiers were still attacking frantically.

The archers attack as close as possible, and shoot at the enemy on the top of the city.

"No retreat."

"Attack, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy."

"Don't be afraid, attack me."

A few lieutenants led a team of supervisors and stood behind the archers. They kept calling and calling.

The archers didn't dare to slack off, let alone retreat, so they stood on the top of the city and confronted the enemy.

Soldiers continued to fall, and new soldiers were added.

Group after group of soldiers fell, and another group of soldiers came up again.

The Jiangdong soldiers and horses under the city are under great pressure.

After all, Sun Ce's side has the advantage of the city wall. With both sides fighting to the death and not retreating, the casualties of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses increased rapidly.

The huge casualties did not make Jiangdong's soldiers back down. Several young generals frowned and still insisted on attacking.

Jiangdong's soldiers and horses also changed several batches, and the large number of casualties made their hearts bleed.

It was a particularly difficult day to fight, and the casualties of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong increased greatly.

At the end of the day, they lost more than 8000 people, while Sun Ce's side lost nearly 5000 people.

After the end of the day, the ratio of the offensive and defensive sides' battle losses will be relatively normal.

Several teenagers gathered together for a meeting.

"Fuck, our army suffered so many casualties, how can we be worthy of the lord."

"If we slow down the pace, casualties can be controlled."

"We must persevere. The military division requires us to maintain this rhythm for three to four days."

"It's just that the casualties are too high. More than 8000 brothers were lost a day."

The young generals were a little emotional. When they saw the number of casualties, their hearts were indeed bleeding.

But they are soldiers, even if they know that the casualties will be so great, they must persevere, orders are orders.

Several young generals turned their anger into anger, but they still had to execute the order.

"Today's casualties are so large, mainly because the enemy's archers are too fierce, and the continuous attack makes them very difficult."

"Tomorrow we will violently attack the city wall, so that they must devote more energy to deal with it, so that the pressure on the archers will not be so great."

They were having a meeting, and Zhu Zhi also called several lieutenants over.

"In today's battle, the effect was not bad. The enemy was hit hard by us. I would have estimated that their casualties were nearly twice as much as ours." Zhu Zhi said.

Several lieutenants agreed with Zhu Zhi's judgment, but one lieutenant said: "General, we don't have enough archers. After two days of fighting, the archers will lose the most."

Zhu Zhi was unmoved, he said: "Don't be afraid, when the archers are exhausted, we will fight with them on the top of the city. This time is different from other times, both sides are desperate, there is no other way."

"Tomorrow I will organize some family guards from aristocratic families to fight against them. We must defend the city, otherwise the entire Poyang Lake will be passive."

Zhu Zhi made up his mind, and several lieutenants had no objections.

There are not many archers in Sun Ce's army. Although some ordinary soldiers have also been trained, they have not trained much. Let them be archers, and their attack power will not be very high.

Archers, like soldiers of later generations, are fed with arrows, but later generations are fed with bullets.

Jiangdong's professional archers have to train every day, three days to practice shooting skills, and other times to train physical fitness and arm strength.

A qualified archer needs to be trained for a long time.

Arrows are very expensive to use, and you can't equip many archers without money.

A new day is about to begin, and this day may be another fierce battle.

In Chao County, Huang Gai and others had already started attacking.

After storming for a day, leaving more than 3000 soldiers behind, there was no progress.

The soldiers on the top of the city didn't attack them suddenly, but they kept a steady rhythm without panicking at all.

There is no panic in the city, and the troops in the city should not be empty.

But Huang Gai and the others are still hard to judge.

At this time, news from the south continued to come in, and Huang Gai and the others were able to confirm that the soldiers and horses going south were the main battle army in Jiangdong.

"General Huang, the army going south is the main battle army. I'm afraid their purpose is really to break through Lujiang County and occupy the Poyang Lake area I released." Jiang Qin said.

Huang Gai's face was serious. After thinking for a while, he said: "Lujiang County can be defended for a while, but if Jiangdong is planned for a long time, this battle may be difficult to win."
