These are two completely different concepts of orders of magnitude.

Therefore, even if the generals led by Cao Ang have a lot of confidence in this battle, they will still be shocked when facing such a vast scene.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the large number of people.

It is powerful to do things.

Therefore, the number, even type and level of siege equipment of this main force are far greater than the troops led by Zhang Rao at the time.

This is a tough battle!

Never take it lightly.

However, there are disadvantages, and the larger the number of enemy troops, the heavier the proportion of cannon fodder in the lower layer.

The threshold for morale collapse in the military is even lower.

It may only take about 10% of the casualties, and the army will fall into a state of morale depression and a semi-collapse of morale, which will force the army to collapse.

Thinking of this.

Cao Ang couldn't help but look down, and the powerful bow of counting stones standing beside the city wall, he felt a little clear-headed in his heart, hoping that there would be an enemy general who would be blinded later and cross the moat without any hesitation.

Then you can give him a big brainstorm at that time!

It’s a pity that the strong south wind sky like Linqiu County is not available at any time, and opportunities are hard to come by.

In addition, most of the enemy troops have to siege the city, and relying solely on wind power to generate smoke does not have much effect, so this tactic is definitely not good.

...

And at this moment, in the camp outside the city.

Xu He and Sima Ju both looked at the scene on the city wall with a serious expression.

They are far apart and look down on the high.

Therefore, it is not very real to see.

But at least the few flags flying on the head of the city are clear.

There are all kinds of writing.

The most conspicuous and largest flag is written in Lishu.

"Brother Sima, I said that this chief general of the defender surnamed Cao is likely to be the one who defeated Zhang Rao in Linqiu County?"

I heard Xu He's inquiry.

Sima Ju narrowed his eyes, observed carefully for a while, and then shook his head and said.

"There are many people in Yanzhou, but there are probably few who can be the chief general of the first army. If it is expected, this person should be that person!"

Xu He sighed immediately when he heard this.

I couldn't help but slap my thighs.

"What a pity, if we had turned around and walked west of Onozawa and attacked Yuncheng, we would have caught the enemy off guard."

This is what I said.

Sima Gu immediately glanced at Xu He.

I felt a little disdainful.

Now, what everyone did when they discussed this smart person? If you remember correctly, it seems that you are the one who calls you the most and you don’t dare to lead your troops west.

certainly.

Sima Ju still nodded on the surface.

"It's a pity. If we just transfer troops to the west, it would be like a big bet. Once we lose the bet, it means we can't get anything, and we will gain half of our net worth."

"Although we still have to face the Cao surname, at least our army will advance and retreat in moderation."

...

Xu He just said something casually, but he didn't really feel a pity.

So after hearing the response.

Turn around and throw the topic away.

Instead, he looked up at the sky, then turned around and looked behind him, saying as if he was muttering to himself.

"It's this time, I believe the troops sent to attack Juye must have already arrived at the city."

After defeating the Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai and destroying all the 20,000 troops he led, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army replenished some troops.

The integrated team has reached about 180,000.

And this trip swept south.

After discussions between Xu He and Sima Ju, more than 30,000 people were divided into two groups to attack Juye County. Twenty thousand people walked south on the east side, hoping to find opportunities from Kangfu County.

Therefore, at this moment, outside Jinxiang City.

The remaining troops are more than 130,000.

I heard my partners talk about the important things.

Sima Ju couldn't help but look in the direction of Juye County, and then turned his gaze back.

"Juye and Kangfu are the city of the corners. If they can capture them with some force, they will naturally be a surprise. Our army will have more retreats and choices."

"On the contrary, if you can't hold on for a long time, it won't hurt the fundamentals. As long as most of our army can take over Jinxiangcheng, the sides of the east and west are just fish and shrimps in the net."

Both of them understand this principle.

Similarly, this is also in Cao Ang’s plan.

In this grand strategy, both sides are almost always playing with cards, and it is difficult to hide their killer moves.

The two talked for a while.

I guess the time is almost done.

Xu He immediately bowed to Sima Ju and said in a deep voice: "Brother Sima, the soldiers have almost finished repairing. Don't order the city to attack."

"Every day of delay, you will have to spend an extra day of food and grass. It's better to take down the city earlier!"

Sima Ju nodded heavily.

Immediately waved my hand to call the commander.

"Give me your orders and attack the city with all my might!"

...

Following the orders of two Qu coaches.

The Yellow Turban Army took the lead in sounding the horn of the war, and its army barely formed a formation. Then, under the leadership of various generals, they slowly approached Jinxiangcheng and continued to advance the troops.

And at a distance of dozens of steps along the moat, the army had already divided the left and right wings, bypassing the north wall, and heading towards the east and west gates.

After all, the troops are strong.

It would be a pity not to fight a siege.

Moreover, the length of a city wall from east to west is so large, and the number of attacks that can accommodate simultaneous attacks is limited. Instead of crowding here, it is better to find ways to put pressure on the defenders in the city from other directions.

And seeing the enemy launch an attack.

The defender of the city is naturally unwilling to be outdone.

"Clam!"

With a sharp metal sound, it sounded.

Cao Cao pulled out his long sword from his waist.

Then he raised his sword body and pointed the tip straight outside the city.

"Tell me to order the drums and prepare for the war!"

With Cao Cao's order.

A deafening drum sound suddenly sounded on the top of the city.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!!"

The beat was pounding with a very rhythmic rhythm, as if hitting everyone's hearts, making the entire army, from generals to ordinary soldiers, excited.

The soldiers guarding the city, holding longbows, holding spears, and holding weapons, couldn't help but exert a little more force.

And when traveling back and forth between the city walls.

The militia who were busy transporting various cities to the city guarding equipment, arrows and other objects to the top of the city were also excited after hearing the rumbling drums.

Even the pace was a little faster.

Morale was high for a moment.

See this situation.
