Chapter 454

"All ready, fire!"

Looking coldly at Ouyang's fierce troops approaching, Zheng Yuanyun was not even interested in talking with them. Seeing that his troops directly entered the range of his catapult troops, he immediately ordered to fire.

This is also the reason why he is on the defensive side at the moment. The range of the catapult erected from a commanding position is naturally longer than that of the ground forces. It is understandable to shoot first.

However, Ouyang's strict execution is not a fool. He led the army all the way, also blocking the other party's farthest range. Just as Zheng Yuanyun ordered to fire, Ouyang's strict execution also raised his hand and ordered the whole army to stop moving forward.

As a result, a large amount of artillery fire from Juhe city fell into the air, and the farthest throwing stone Kankan rolled to the foot of Ouyang's fierce vanguard army. There was no substantive damage at all.

"Zheng Shenjiang, how can you be so angry?"

Ouyang looked at the mess ahead, smiled and said, "isn't it a waste of ammunition to fire so early?"

"Hum!"

Zheng Yuanyun stared at him coldly. The other party was a military general with outstanding Qi and blood. There was no pressure to talk to him from a distance, but he didn't have that ability and simply ignored it.

Waste ammunition?

The most important thing Juhe city needs is the reserve of combat materials. The previous round of Qi bang was only four or five hundred stone catapults. For the materials of Juhe city itself, nine oxen and a dime are not enough.

Although it was a little early, Zheng Yuanyun certainly knew that Ouyang would not come all the way, so he rushed to attack the city after he came?

He would have stopped. Zheng Yuanyun's order was just a strategy of letting archers shoot at the foot of the array in the conventional siege to warn the enemy not to come forward again.

At this height, the catapult naturally hit farther than the bow and arrow. Moreover, the shells won't disappear. At this time, they are stacked so disorderly on the siege road of Ouyang. Speaking, Zheng Yuanyun's orders are not used for procrastination.

It will take at least half a day for the reinforcements in the rear to arrive. This time is neither long nor short. Especially when the war situation is changing rapidly, it is difficult to say whether there will be any variables.

In any case, Zheng Yuanyun clearly recognized his current strength. Before the reinforcements arrived, he was always at a disadvantage and delayed as much as he could.

The shells from the catapult pile up under the city, which will also hinder Ouyang's fierce forward forces, at least make the other party's charge not so smooth.

Therefore, in response to Ouyang's sneer, a large number of stones were thrown from Juhe city again. Although they were not lit for the sake of saving fire oil, they also made the front of Ouyang's execution more rugged.

Zheng Yuanyun's mind didn't want to hide. Ouyang's strict execution naturally understood the purpose of his action.

Since he had expected, Ouyang's heart would not fluctuate. Seeing that Zheng Yuanyun didn't want to talk to himself, he shook his head, smiled and waved to the deputy general in the twinkling of an eye.

He didn't just rush over and say that the siege was over. On the way here, Ouyang also worked out a variety of combat strategies with the Deputy generals. At present, Zheng Yuanyun's response is actually in their expectation.

So how to deal with it?

It's simple.

Ouyang's biggest advantage now is his large number of troops. Of course, he will not waste his advantage. Unlike Zheng Yuanyun, Ouyang's execution is not a person who does anything to achieve his goal.

So he couldn't do what Zheng Yuanyun did. Knowing that forcibly rushing up would cause great losses, he recklessly ordered the soldiers to press forward.

Since the other side fought so fiercely on the front battlefield, try other city gates.

At the command, the troops already configured on the left and right wings separated and walked around to the other two gates of Juhe city.

The deployment of his left and right wings is also completely in accordance with the siege mode, in which various configurations are complete, including siege towers, impact hammers, ladders, stone catapults and so on.

One minute on both sides, one million troops were immediately sent out, half a million on the left and half a million on the left. They wanted to test Zheng Yuanyun's deployment with a comprehensive encirclement strategy.

In the final analysis, there are only 600000 defenders in Juhe city. Ouyang's strict execution can make the defenders in the city tired through continuous pulling, that is, there are few people bullying each other, so as to find the other's defense flaws in the process of continuous pulling.

So right under Zheng Yuanyun's eyes, Ouyang resolutely divided his troops without any concealment.

Standing at the head of Juhe City, Zheng Yuanyun can only watch the left and right steel torrents go away. He doesn't know where his destination is.

Only then did he look back at the deputy general who had slightly questioned his order.

If, as the deputy general thought, he only symbolically arranged tens of thousands of garrisons for the city gates on the left and right sides, how can he prevent other well-equipped elite generals?

With 150000 to 500000, and a strong material reserve in Juhe City, we can have the power of World War I.

Without paying attention to the troops distributed by the other party, Zheng Yuanyun knew that the pressure on the front battlefield would still be the greatest at the moment.

Ouyang's vigorous action did not disappoint him. At the same time, he also waved with a big hand. Under the cover of knife and shield hands, the prepared engineering troops began to slowly advance to the front line.

Zheng Yuanyun's catapult shells that were forcibly used to block the road really worked. Ouyang had to clear a way out if he wanted to attack the city.

And how could Zheng Yuanyun let him achieve his wish? If you want to know, it's enough!

In an instant, countless stones roared. The engineers had just begun to move the first stone carefully. Then suddenly hundreds of earth shaking stones came, so that everyone couldn't help retreating.

As a result, the road was not cleared, but it was much more messy.

The deputy general who led the engineering force looked back reluctantly. He didn't know that he had scolded the city master who lived in the city hundreds of times.

It's all right. What are you doing with so many stone throwing reserves?

However, when he looked at coach Ouyang's vigorous action, he looked much colder than him, and didn't seem to see Zheng Yuanyun's response in his eyes.

Seeing that the road ahead was difficult to clean up, he still had no intention of ordering a strong attack, but waved again calmly.

The two cavalry on the flank suddenly stepped out of the crowd, as if they were two sharp swords straight on both sides of the city.

Attack the city with cavalry?

Zheng Yuanyun frowned slightly and didn't think it would have any effect, but since the other party was Ouyang's strict execution, he also raised the flag for the sake of insurance.

Boom!

The catapult roared again, but this time it roared at the two sharp knives.
