Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 26 Siege
"Mr. Gongtai is very capable!" Chu Nan stretched his arms, suppressed the urge to immediately look at Chen Gong's data, and praised him sincerely.

"Qimen Xiaoshu, Ziyan wants to learn?" Chen Gong didn't care about this, and said in a somewhat joking tone.

"Can this be learned?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong in amazement. He thought it was Chen Gong's talent, but from Chen Gong's tone, it seemed that it could be taught.

What can be taught is obviously not talent.

"Awakening the mind can awaken human talent, but if you really want to become a strong man like Marquis Wen, you still need to practice supernatural power, otherwise you will be a peerless genius. If you can't cultivate yourself diligently, it is just a waste of talent." Chen Gong nodded. , turned around and wanted to say something, but was stunned to see Chu Nan staring straight at him, his eyes seemed to be emitting light.

"If you want to learn, Marquis Wen will teach you. Don't look at me like this." Chen Gong couldn't bear Chu Nan's sudden gaze, and turned his gaze to the other side.

Chu Nan was recruited by Lu Bu. As Lu Bu's close counselor, he knew something about Chu Nan and Lu Lingqi. It is better for Lu Bu to teach these things in person. This practice method is not spread indiscriminately. There is no thought of passing on the mantle.

Chu Nan could only nod his head, and said that after he awakened his talent, nothing changed in the past few days except that his strength was a little stronger, and he still had to practice.

You can’t blame Chu Nan for being reckless. He is a person who can see the sky. He knows where the upper limit of this world is, and he can understand the rules of survival. Although this world is miraculous, but in terms of social rules, it is relatively modern. Very primitive.

But it is also because of this that he understands how unfriendly the world is to ordinary people, because what he can see does not mean that he can get it. If it weren't for Lu Lingqi's adventure, he wouldn't know if he would be able to enter this door, even if he did. , the upper limit is also very limited.

He is not afraid of suffering, the most important thing is that he has no direction to endure hardship.

While the two were talking, the sound of drums sounded from the rear. Chu Nan looked forward and saw that Lu Bu's army had already begun to attack the city. Unlike the imaginary group of people swarming up, the siege troops were scattered, a group of 200 people A team detoured towards the direction of the city wall.

Behind the siege troops, there are several thousand-man phalanxes. Under the protection of shield hands, archers in armor shoot arrows towards the top of the city.

The defenders on the city wall also began to shoot arrows here, but in terms of vision, the density of the arrow clusters was far less than that of the arrows shot by the thousand-man formation below the city.

Lu Bu stood under the handsome flag and did not personally participate in the siege. As the soldiers approached, the rain of arrows on the top of the city gradually became denser. A dozen siege ladders began to move towards the city wall, just like the ladders in the film and television. The upward rush is different. The appearance of this siege ladder is a bit like a fire engine. There is something like a base underneath, covered with leather and iron sheets to help the soldiers in the crotch to cover the rain of arrows. After the soldiers pushed the siege ladder to the bottom of the city, Ladders can be hooked directly to city walls.

It is almost impossible to push the ladder away like in the film and television. Once this thing reaches the place, the base will be fixed. If you want to push it away, you have to push the entire siege ladder away. The force required may be greater than the weight of the entire siege ladder. Even if the manpower of this era is as large as a cow, it is difficult to push this siege ladder away.

Because of the distance, Chu Nan didn't understand the bloody and cruel feeling of the battlefield, and couldn't even see it. This place is in the rear army, one kilometer away from the city wall, and all he can see is the siege troops rushing towards the city wall through the ladder. , There is also a phalanx shooting arrows at the city wall behind.

From time to time, people can be seen falling from the city wall. Although it is shocking, it is not too strong.

Lu Bu was standing in the middle army, and he seemed to be familiar with it. The banner officers around him waved the command flag from time to time, and the sound of the horn would change slightly. The top of the city was then twisted down again.

"Sir, I don't know which one is in the camp?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gong. Although the soldiers were working hard, they didn't seem to see any outstanding ones.

"Today is just a test, why do you need to fight in the camp?" Chen Gong shook his head and said.

"Isn't it good to go all out?" Chu Nan was an outsider to marching and fighting, so he didn't quite understand the reason.

"It's not bad, but it's not worth it. If the two armies are fighting in front of the battle today, they will naturally have to go all out, but the siege battle is not the case. When our army first came, the enemy's morale was high, relying on the solidity of the city. If Zhiying Its front, even if it wins in the end, is also a miserable victory, so we should wear down our vigor and exhaust our minds first, and wait until their morale is weakened and the army has no fighting spirit before they can go down with a drum!" Chen Deng shook his head.

"Then what if the enemy and us are equal in strength?" Chu Nan asked doubtfully.

"Generally, if you want to attack a city, the enemy must be weak and we are strong. If the strength is equal, you can't attack by force. You can try to lure the enemy out of the city for a decisive battle, but remember not to divide your troops."

Chu Nan nodded silently, but Chen Gong seemed to have opened up the chatter box, and continued: "This march and battle seems to be a confrontation of troops, but it is also a game between the commanders of the two armies. It may not be possible to defeat a thousand people, and a thousand people may not be able to defeat ten thousand people. In short, the more soldiers and horses there are, the more wars will be fought in Vietnam. If there is a little carelessness, the entire army will be wiped out."

After a day of fierce fighting, Xiaopei was already on the verge of falling, but he finally managed to hold on. As the sky darkened, Lu Bu waved his hand to signal Mingjin to withdraw. The soldiers who attacked the city quickly began to retreat, and Liu Bei and others in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. .

In one day of fighting, more than 200 people were killed or injured, which was much less than Chu Nan imagined. He thought it was normal for such a style of fighting to kill thousands of people in a day, but in reality there were only more than [-] people. Leaving aside the wounded, there may only be more than [-] real casualties.

"Everyone go back to the tents. Tomorrow the city is broken. I will hold a banquet in the city to celebrate!" In the handsome tent, after discussing with the generals how to attack the city tomorrow, Lu Bu told the generals that in today's battle, the morale of Xiaopei's soldiers is low. In other words, Lu Bujue can directly send the elite to play tomorrow, and he doesn't want to stay here for too long in Xiaopei.

"Here!" All the generals got up and promised, and went back separately.

After Chu Nan and Chen Gong left the camp, Chu Nan was a little puzzled and said, "Sir, with the strength of Marquis Wen's battle with Zhang Fei yesterday, he could break the city by himself, why is it so troublesome?"

The aftermath of Lu Bu and Zhang Fei's fight yesterday directly knocked down the city wall. Lu Bu should have the ability to directly destroy the city.

"It's fine if the opponent has nothing to do with a strong general like Zhang, but if the two generals Guan Zhang and Wen Hou fight in the city, the city will be gone. This siege, if it is not necessary, Wen Hou can't do it." Chen Gong sighed.

If Lu Bu made a direct move, the two generals Guan and Zhang would definitely move. In that case, Xiao Pei might be gone immediately. Therefore, if it is not necessary, it is best for a strategic general like Lu Bu not to make a move in such a war.

"According to what Marquis Wen just said, the city may be destroyed tomorrow?" Thinking of what Lu Bu said just now, Chu Nan asked.

"If there are no accidents, it will not be difficult to break the city tomorrow." Chen Gong nodded affirmatively.

"But in that case, Guan Zhang will definitely attack again, wouldn't the consequences be the same?" Chu Nan frowned.

"Liu Bei's practice is the way of benevolence and righteousness. If that's the case, it's not bad to break Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness with a small pendulum." Chen Gongyun's bland words made Chu Nan feel a little chilled for no reason. It seems that as long as the price is enough, sacrifice this A city of people is not an unacceptable thing.

"Do you think Liu Bei also knows that Xiao Pei can no longer defend?" After a long silence, Chu Nan suddenly asked a question.

Chen Gong heard the words and looked at Chu Nan: "Liu Bei is also a battle-tested man, so he should know."

"Neither can defend..." Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Gong and said, "Neither will we fight to the death? Then Liu Bei will continue to stay here?"

Chen Gong was thoughtful, and then pulled Chu Nan to turn around and go to the handsome tent...
