Chapter 1099 Attacking Changsha City
Sun Ce stayed in the Sun family's manor for a day, and then returned to the army.
The hundreds of thousands of troops have now become soft-footed shrimps. When Zhang Yu starts to attack, they will be under great pressure.
Sun Ce called Zhou Yu to sum up.
"Zhang Yu's attack is imminent. Even if we don't attack, we will be very uncomfortable if we are surrounded for a month or two. Now, we don't even have the confidence to fight a decisive battle." Sun Ce sighed.
Zhou Yu could feel Sun Ce's deep depression.
Sun Ce is a proud person, but now he is being forced into this.
"I'll go to the top of the city to have a look."
After Sun Ce finished speaking, he left without waiting for Zhou Yu to say anything.
On the top of the city, the soldiers on the top of the city were loyal to their duties, but Sun Ce found that their condition was not good.
The lack of salt has never been taken seriously before.
This is also because Zhang Yu controls the salt.
His sea salt beats all other table salts and is monopolized by his family, so it can only be purchased through him.
Then due to the war, the price of salt more than doubled, resulting in insufficient reserves. After that, Zhang Yu sent people to burn all the salt.
This time, the situation became serious. There was a large-scale salt shortage, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the city had no salt to eat, and the problem was concentrated and exposed.
The soldiers had no strength to fight.
Sun Ce looked outside the city. The army outside the city was busy. They were going to fill up the moat, and then they would start attacking.
Once attacked, can this group of soft soldiers block it?
Sun Ce already knew the outcome, but he was unwilling to accept it.
He even thought of surrendering, but he was unwilling.
After patrolling around the top of the city, the soldiers were lifeless, looking weak.
If it were other times, Sun Ce would definitely slap them hard, but not now. This is not the soldiers' fault, but his own fault.
Two days later, Zhang Yu had already filled up the moat.
Fill the moat, and the battle is about to begin.
Zhang Yu asked people to start preparing.
When Zhang Yu was preparing, Cao Cao and Cai Hao were also very anxious.
This battle situation did not exceed their expectations.
Zhang Yu drove straight all the way, and after occupying several places, the offensive slowed down again, and he began to slowly build his logistics base.
After the logistics base was set up, they slowly attacked.
On this day, Cao Cao called some of his confidants, and also called Cao Ang.
After a period of cultivation, Cao Cao's health has improved a lot, but now he still leaves many things to Cao Ang.
"Zhang Yu has already surrounded Changsha City. This Changsha City may last for a year or so, but accidents cannot be ruled out. If we help from the side, if this Changsha City can last for two years, Zhang Yu will have relatively big problems , at least within three to five years, we will be unable to march westward." Cao Cao said.
According to calculations, Sun Ce's army of 50, Zhang Yu wants to break through the city of Changsha, and he has to deploy troops from such a long distance.
The cost of hundreds of thousands of troops, plus losses, Zhang Yu filled in 80 to [-] troops.
The loss of these troops, coupled with various consumptions, will definitely deplete the national strength and will not be able to recover within three to five years.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cheng Yu said, "My lord, this Zhang Yu is not easy to deal with. He has prepared himself in Yanzhou, so he directly sent Gao Shun to station him. We will mobilize the army first, threaten Zhang Yu, and then we can only slowly look for opportunities. "
In fact, everyone has doubts and is afraid that something unexpected will happen. This Zhang Yu can always come up with many strange things.
They had to be careful, and they didn't even believe that Zhang Yu had no backup plan.
"We must send troops jointly, otherwise Changsha will not be able to hold on for long. The longer they hold on, the more opportunities we have. Now we maintain an army of one million and are struggling. We must vigorously reform and develop to deal with Zhang Yu's threat." Cao Cao directly set the tone, and everyone We can only plan in this direction.
Several people began to plan, intending to send troops in two ways.
Jia Xu said: "Let Cai Mao send troops to Zhang Yu's logistics base, let the fleet operate on Dongting Lake, even if we can't win, it can greatly slow down Zhang Yu's offensive, and we also send troops in the north and central regions, even if It is a confrontation, and it will also cause a great burden on Zhang Yu."
Cao Cao and others agreed to send troops to interfere with Zhang Yu.
However, this cannot be done in a short time, and coordinating Cai Mao is not an easy task.
Cao Cao immediately sent someone to contact Cai Mao.
As for Zhang Yu, the attack has already begun.
After the moat was filled, Zhang Yu's army started.
After the army was deployed, all kinds of siege equipment were pushed up.
I don't have a catapult, so I don't want to use it for now.
"Let the soldiers maintain a high-intensity attack and fight for two days to see the situation."
Zhang Yu commanded an army of 30 and began to attack.
Tens of thousands of Fusang troops were assigned to each of the four city gates, and they would take the lead.
With the Fusang army, the generals used it more boldly.
Dian Wei was the most excited. He hadn't been able to fight well for several months.
All the armies are on the move.
"attack."
Zhang Yu gave the order and several armies began to attack.
All the armies attacked. At the beginning, a group of armies who had been holding back for an unknown period of time attacked with all their strength.
The young generals even led people directly into the city.
The archers under the city directly approached and attacked, not afraid of death at all.
The morale of the whole army is very high, which is very rare.
The army broke out with a very strong fighting power from the very beginning.
Within half an hour of standing there, some soldiers even climbed up to the top of the city, but they were quickly driven down.
On the top of the city, Sun Ce and other generals and senior officials all went to the top of the city to check.
Sun Ce's face turned blue.
"The morale of the enemy army is so high that we estimate that we can block it for a year or so. I'm a little optimistic." Sun Ce said in a low voice, which only Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and other generals could hear.
Zhou Yu observed carefully, no matter how resourceful he was, it was very embarrassing at this time.
"Our soldiers have not had salt for a long time, which has greatly affected their combat effectiveness."
I didn't notice it at the beginning of the fight, but the soldiers still had a high combat effectiveness under stimulation.
However, after half an hour or so, the situation was exposed.
The archer didn't even have the strength to draw the bowstring. He had just shot a few arrows before he lost his strength.
This was very serious, and the offensive slowed down immediately.
Many problems were exposed on the top of the city, and Sun Ce sent several generals to deal with them improvised.
Unexpectedly, the lack of salt was so serious.
A large number of soldiers have no strength due to lack of salt.
Those who carried stones and rolled logs to hit people were much slower because they had no strength. Those who used arrows lost strength after pulling the bow and arrow a few times, so they had to change people.
However, after changing a group of people, the situation remains the same.
When changing people, the army under the city was immediately given an opportunity to break through the city several times.
However, they all failed in the end and were kicked out again.
The situation is not optimistic, the battle lasted for half a day, and they suffered heavy losses.
Zhang Yu was very surprised, he didn't expect the result to be so good.
