Chapter 1461 Yue Fei attacked Jiangling City three times


    Chapter 1459: Yue Fei attacked Jiangling City three times


    Deng Yu, the 28 generals of Yuntai, is naturally not such a simple character. His strategy to deal with Yue Fei is not complicated. He is basically a conspiracy, but it is precisely because of this that it is even more difficult to crack.


    Faced with the endless traps set by Deng Yu, and it is hard to defend against, Yue Fei had to reduce the casualties to the lowest level, so as to reduce the speed of the march and fight steadily.


    Faced with Yue Fei who was striving to seek stability along the way, the trap set by Deng Yu naturally had no effect. He could only watch Yue Fei destroy all the traps and finally entered Jiangling City.


    It took only 300 miles from Xiangyang to Jiangling, but Yue Fei walked for twenty days and suffered 500 casualties from soldiers. Only then did he finally arrive at the city of Jiangling.


    After arriving in Jiangling, Yue Fei was not in a hurry to attack the city, but first cut off all traps outside the city step by step, and then divided his troops to seize the surrounding county town.


    Ten days later, all the counties around Jiangling were captured, and Jiangling City was completely an isolated city. Only then did Yue Fei officially start to attack Jiangling City.


    Yue Fei first sent his generals to challenge the battle. Deng Yu knew very well that Yue Fei and his subordinates were powerful. He did not have a general who could win firmly, so he naturally did not dare to send generals out of the city to fight the generals.


    Seeing that Yue Fei was scolding no matter how he shouted and scolded, Deng Yu was determined not to fight, and he was not disappointed, so he recalled the general and prepared to launch a strong attack.


    Jiangling City has been completely built into a fortress by Liu Xiu. Now, not only has the city wall been greatly raised, but the defensive facilities have also been doubled, and the difficulty of breaking is more than doubled than before.


    Faced with Jiangling City, which has almost no flaws in its defensive arrangement, Yue Fei is still full of confidence.


    This time, in order to capture Jiangling City, Yue Fei made extremely sufficient preparations. He brought 100 catapults, 40 well railings, 500,000 rockets, and 30,000 turbulent tanks.


    In addition, the Qin army in Jingzhou has all the elite. In addition to Yue Fei, the generals also have Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, Wen Pin, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Su Can, Yue Yun, etc.


    The reason why Yue Fei set out such a large battle was to completely capture Jiangling City. After all, he had attacked twice before, and he almost broke the city a little bit, but he always failed because of some non-war. This time, Yue Fei vowed to avenge his previous shame.


    Jiangling City is undoubtedly a strong city, with nearly 40,000 defenders in the city. If Yue Fei wants to break it with the minimum casualties, he must make a clear plan in advance, and the first step is to fill the moat.


    Yue Fei used the method of circumventing three and missing one, surrounding the three gates in the east and north, leaving only the south gate, giving the defenders in the city a way out, giving them hope for life, so as to prevent the defenders in the city from defending their wholeheartedly.


    Afterwards, Yue Fei quickly built three earth slopes outside the three gates in the east and west and north, and placed the catapult cart on it to increase the range of the catapult cart, and then used the catapult cart to throw sandbags to fill the moat.


    Deng Yu saw that Yue Fei had come up with this method, and the range of the Qin army''s catapult car was so farther than that of the Chu army. Although Deng Yu had the idea of ??leading the army out of the city to destroy the catapult car, he also knew that Yue Fei would set up a heavy army to protect the catapult car, and leaving the city would be like taking the initiative to deliver it to the door.


    When the troops are not superior and the equipment and training are not as good as those in terms of force, once you leave the city, you will definitely lose. Only by defending according to the city can you try to delay time.


    As soon as he thought of this, Deng Yu could only give up this unrealistic idea and watched the moat of Jiangling be filled up bit by bit.


    The Qin army had a total of 100 catapults, which could be projected 300 times a day. Each time they threw a bag of sandbags, they could be thrown 30,000 bags a day.


    Once the catapult car fails, the Qin army will replace the damaged parts and continue to project.


    With 30,000 sandbags hit every day, the walls of Jiangling City were nothing. The whole city was covered with heavy dust, which also caused many people to suffer from respiratory diseases. After ten consecutive days, 300,000 sandbags were smashed one after another, the moat outside Jiangling City was finally completely filled.


    City with moats are all big cities, and if the general moats fill it up, it would be more than enough to use 100,000 sandbags, but Yue Fei used a total of 300,000 sandbags in Jiangling City.


    This shows how hard work Deng Yu put in on Jiangling’s defense, how wide and deep the moat in Jiangling City was dug.


    The moat was filled, and the next one was the bloodiest and the most casualties.


    Yue Fei was just a feint attack on the other two gates, but instead concentrated his troops and took the fiercest offensive against the North Gate.


    Under the cover of sixty stone castings and twenty well railings, Yue Fei personally directed 30,000 elite troops, as well as Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun and others to attack the North Gate of Jiangling.


    [Dingdong, Yue Fei''s skill "Wu Mu" is activated, and the commander is +3 when facing the foreign tribe, and the commander is +1 when facing the same tribe. Yue Fei''s basic commander is 100, and the current commander is raised to 101;]


    Yue Fei, who commanded 101, beat the drums himself and commanded the army to attack the north gate of Jiangling, which naturally caused the morale of the Qin army to rise sharply. In addition, Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun and other generals also participated, which made the defenders unable to raise their heads for a while.


    Deng Yu saw that the Qin army''s offensive on the first day was so fierce that even Yue Fei had to go out in person. In desperation, he could only lead the generals to take charge of the north gate to command the city.


    [Dingdong, Deng Yu''s skill "copper wall" is activated.


    Copper wall: Exclusive skills for defending the city, personally commanding the battle for defending the city, commander +2, and the morale of the entire army increases;]


    [Deng Yu: Commander 96, force 80, intelligence 95, politics 98, charm 93


    Deng Yu''s basic commander is 96, and his skill "branch wall" is activated to commander +2. The current commander has risen to 98, and the morale of the entire Chu army has increased;]


    Faced with Yue Fei, whose commander rose to 101, Deng Yu had to sit in the north gate to defend the city. Only in this way can Jiangling be protected from being breached;


    With Deng Yu''s personal command and the desperate resistance of Yuntai generals such as Liu Long and Wang Liang, they finally blocked Yue Fei''s fierce attack.


    Yue Fei was not surprised at all. If he could break the city in one day, he would not have failed the previous two times.


    Afterwards, Yue Fei still personally directed the attack on the North Gate, and during the five consecutive days of super-strength attack, both the offense and defense were tightly tense and extremely tired.


    In just five days of siege, the Qin army killed five thousand soldiers, and the Chu army, which was guarding the city, suffered no fewer casualties than the Qin army, and more than 4,000 people were killed.


    According to common sense, the casualties of the siege should be at least twice as much as those of defending the city, which is a more reasonable situation.


    The siege battle under Yue Fei''s personal command achieved a nearly one-to-one casualty ratio, which is somewhat unreasonable.


    The reason why he was able to achieve nearly one-to-one casualties was not only because Yue Fei had sufficient preparations before the battle and the participation of many Qin generals, the most important point was that Yue Fei had already figured out Jiangling''s defenses.
