Chapter 398 Street fighting, entanglement.
Due to the gap in military quality and willpower, Cheng Pu and Zhuge Liang believed that the battle at the city wall and pass could not continue. If we continued like this, it would be a time for the entire Eastern Wu army to collapse.
On the contrary, if the city walls and passes away the Qin army and let the streets fight in the city, this would be a favorable choice for the Wu army.
First of all, compared with the Qin army, the Wu army, who had lived in the city for many days, was obviously more familiar with the situation on various streets and alleys. In this way, there were many benefits in the process of street fighting.
Secondly, once street fighting is carried out, the Wu army will be a small group of scattered combat. In this case, even if the fighting spirit collapses, it will only cause a small group of combat troops to collapse and will not implicate the remaining troops.
"Mr. Zhuge, please give me instructions." Old General Cheng Pu said to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang came to the map and ordered Cheng Pu: "The three places of Tianzifang, Muma City, and Blue and White Alley need to be deployed. As long as these three places are contained, the Qin army will not be able to pass."
"Now nearly half of the city has been burned into ruins by the Qin army, and the remaining people in the city must be resentful to the Qin army. We must make full use of this emotion and let the people in the city provide cover for us."
"Since the Qin army has broken the city, it should be logically appeased the people and will not easily make things difficult for the people. Our soldiers can take off their military uniforms and hide them among the people. As long as the people cooperate, it will not be a problem to hold the Qin army for more than a month."
Zhuge Liang gave Cheng Pu a detailed instructions, where heavy troops need to be arranged to defend, where there is dispersed defense, where there is knife and shield soldiers, and where there is archers. In any places with dense buildings in this city, Wu Jun arranged a lot of defense in the city.
While Cheng Pu was setting up defenses in the city, the three battlefields at the city wall and pass finally showed signs of about to collapse.
At this time, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng had already taken the supervision team to the battlefield, but even so, it was still difficult to resist the Qin army's charge.
At this time, many Wu army soldiers had already felt tired of war. They would even rather stand there and be massacred by the Qin army than resist more.
Fortunately, with the insistence of the two generals Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, they forced themselves to take another hour. After this hour, let alone ordinary soldiers, even Ding Feng and Xu Sheng were exhausted.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Hurry, hurry, run into the city." Ding Feng and Xu Sheng and the others retreated to the city with their defeated soldiers.
As the saying goes, the defeated enemy should not be pursued. After the Qin army occupied the pass, they arranged heavy troops at the pass, but did not pursue these remnants of the Eastern Wu.
Outside Chanling City, the Qin army camp.
"Report to the commander, the three passes have been captured. All the generals request the next combat instructions." The messenger rushed over and knelt down in front of Chen Qingzhi and asked.
"Master, I've been fighting for a day. Brothers, let alone eating, I haven't even had a sip of water. Just occupy the city wall at the pass, and it's not advisable to attack today." Jia Xu said from the side.
Jia Xu's words are true. Today, the Qin army soldiers are still not over. In order to fight against Chanling City, all the soldiers have put in enough strength and have no time to eat.
Chen Qingzhi looked at the sun. It was already afternoon now and it was getting dark soon. If he continued to fight, he would not be able to fight today.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Since this pass has been built, then this Chanling City is already in the bag. It is better to bury a pot and make rice so that the brothers can eat hot.
"Fifty thousand soldiers entered the city and pushed three miles into the city. All artillery was placed on the city wall for me to prevent the Wu army from snatching the city wall at night."
"In addition, let the gang kill pigs and sheep, and let the brothers open their food for me today." Chen Qingzhi ordered.
Chen Qingzhi understood that although the Eastern Wu army did not defend it at the pass, the Eastern Wu would definitely not give up Chanling City easily, and there must be a fierce battle in Chanling City.
What Chen Qingzhi did not expect was this fierce battle in Chanling City, not a vicious evil, but a disgusting evil.
That's right, the street fighting in the city was actually not cruel, but it was very disgusting. In the next few days, the Eastern Wu army in the city did not face the Qin army head-on, but were harassing and fighting in various ways.
Anyway, I will not fight you, nor will I block you from letting you go. With the cover of the people in the city, the Qin army is like hitting a fist on cotton, and there is no place to use strength.
Seven days later, in a private house in the city.
"Ha ha!"
"Relieve your anger, relieve your anger. Playing with these Qin troops all day long has finally relieved my anger." Cheng Pu hid in the house and couldn't help laughing.
This street battle was comfortable. The street battle was a cooperation with the people, and the enemy was advancing and retreating, and the enemy was tired. After these days of fighting, although there were not many Qin troops killed or injured, they firmly blocked the Qin army in the city.
This kind of street fighting is not very lethal to the Qin army, but it is extremely insulting.
"It's so fucking frustrating."
"I really wish I could burn all the other half of the city for him." Chen Qingzhi said angrily in the central army's tent.
However, this is just an angry word. Can it really burn? Now that the Qin army has entered the city, it is logically considered a city of Qin. If they burned this city, wouldn't it be equivalent to massacre of the city?
"Hmph, I want me to tell you, even if you really kill this city, it won't be a loss."
"The people in this city are in a stern voice with the Wu army hiding in the dark, and they are deliberately delaying our clearance speed." Yuwen Chengdu also said unfairly.
Everyone was angry. These days, they were clearing the Wu army in the city through the streets and alleys. However, with the protection of the people, the progress was very slow. It took a full seven days, but it was 20 or 30 miles forward.
The Qin generals were all indignant, but Cheng Yaojin remained silent, his eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.
"My generals have worked hard recently. Let's go back and rest first. I'm thinking of a solution with the military advisor." Chen Qingzhi said to the generals.
It was night, at the third day.
Cheng Yaojin sat up from the bed with a "teng" sound, and then quietly touched Chen Qingzhi's handsome tent.
Although there is no one at night, there are still guards guarding it.
"General Cheng, why are you here?" asked the two soldiers guarding the door of the commander's tent.
"Ahem!"
"Well, I have something in the handsome tent." Cheng Yaojin was talking lies with his eyes open.
Cheng Yaojin was a general of the Qin army and Li Chen's beloved general. Naturally, these two guards did not dare to stop him, so they put him in.
