Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 540
"Hold it!?" Looking at Ma Chao who retreated and set up camp, Yuan Xi was a little happy. Ma Chao broke the city twice in a row, which made him feel a little unconfident. This time, he finally blocked Ma Chao's surprise attack, and Yuan Xi also counted. He breathed a sigh of relief, if it goes on like this, [-] days should be enough.

"My lord, look!" Zhang Nan reminded Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi followed Zhang Nan's gaze and saw that Ma Chao was camping outside the pass, and the direction of the other party's camp was at the pass. If there were no mountains to block him, he would be able to shoot at him without using arrows here. , just avoided Juyongguan's arrows by using the mountain, but he could easily detect the movement of Juyongguan.

And more importantly, the opponent just set up a camp outside like this, and the opponent has no protection at all. Generally, when this kind of soldiers approach the city, when they attack the city and set up camp, they will send a few troops to stand by in case the enemy takes the opportunity to make a surprise attack, but Ma Chao still deceives him. The gate of the city was blocked, or he was trying to lure troops here, deliberately doing this, in order to see if there was a way to deceive him out of the city.

In short, Ma Chao seems to have no intention of fortification at all.

"Don't pay attention to him, I just want to lure our army out of the city, tell the soldiers, only defend and not attack!" Yuan Xi snorted coldly, not to mention that the gate of the city has been blocked, even if not, he will never send troops again Half a step out of town.

At present, only the soldiers were put down in the hanging basket, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the damaged city wall was repaired at the same time.

On the other side, Ma Chao was a little disappointed when he saw that they were so loose and the other party didn't come out of the city to attack. He climbed up a mountainside and overlooked Juyongguan.

"This city wall is really thick!" Looking at the city wall that was more than ten battles thick, Ma Chao felt a little emotional. Even if Lu Bu came, facing such a fortified city, it might be difficult to break through it, right?

How to fight this city?
Ma Chao jumped down from the mountain and invited Dong Chao to discuss, "What do you think I'll dig a tunnel to enter the city?" Ma Chao looked at Dong Chao and asked.

"Young General, it won't work. Not to mention that the tunnel is difficult to dig, even if it can be dug through, the location of Juyongguan is a valley. If the other party finds out and leads the stream into the tunnel, our army's soldiers who enter the tunnel will be wiped out." !” Dong Chao hastily dissuaded him.

Not everyone can dig a tunnel. You have to know how to do it. Generally, small tunnels are fine. This kind of tunnel with a length of several hundred steps will not be stopped by others. Even if they don’t care, you can dig it yourself. They may collapse directly and bury themselves alive.

What's more, it's hard not to be aware of this kind of thing. Nowadays, almost all generals have sharp eyes and ears. Unless you dig a tunnel to more than ten feet underground, people can't detect it, otherwise it's easy to be noticed by the opposing general. As long as the water is brought in, then The hard-earned tunnel has become a well!
Ma Chao nodded dejectedly, sat in the camp, watched the soldiers set up their camps, and thought: "But the enemy general made up his mind to be a turtle with a shrunken head. I just saw that the back of the city gate was completely blocked. It's really difficult to break through this city, if you can't go underground, is it possible that our army should fly there?"

Speaking of this, Ma Chao was stunned suddenly, looked at Dong Chao and said: "Tomorrow I will climb up the mountain, and then walk up the mountain and jump into Guanzhong. You have already led the army to the city with the ladder, how about we cooperate inside and outside?"

Is it so hardcore to cooperate with the inside and outside?Forcibly cooperate with the inside and outside?
Dong Chao felt that this strategy was definitely not going to work, and he might risk Ma Chao's life. He shook his head and said, "General, if this matter is a little careless, if our soldiers fail to break through the city, the general will be besieged and killed." Board!"

If the siege troops were unable to attack the city, or if the ladder was burned, Ma Chao's being trapped in the city would really be ineffective every day, and it might be his fate to be trapped in the dead city in the end.

"This won't work, and that won't work either, so how do you say to destroy the city?" Ma Chao said a little annoyed.

"Mr. Gongtai is very resourceful, why don't you go to Juyong and ask Mr. Gongtai how to break the city?" Dong Chao gave his own suggestion. Since they can't break the city, it is better to invite those smart people to break it.

"No, asking for help when there are few difficulties, what kind of skill is that? I have been underestimated for no reason!" Ma Chao flatly refused, and asking for help when encountering difficulties is obviously not his style.

Sitting with Dong Chao at the moment, thinking hard about a strategy to defeat the enemy, but until the camp was built, he did not come up with a strategy to destroy the city. Ma Chao looked at Dong Chao with some depression, why didn't his father assign him a counselor? of?The two warriors are thinking about ingenious strategies here, and this scene doesn't seem to fit well at first glance.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Ma Chao called in catapults from the rear. Unfortunately, the location of Juyongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can only accommodate five catapults side by side. If it is a ladder, three may seem crowded. The fundamental reason for rejecting Ma Chao's strategy yesterday.

The five catapults and scattered stone bombs obviously couldn't cause substantial damage to Juyongguan. Ma Chao led his men to charge several times, but failed to climb the city, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

For three consecutive days like this, Yuan Xi just kept strengthening the city defenses, and had no intention of going out of the city to fight Ma Chao. Fight, withdraw if you want, the initiative of the war is in Ma Chao's hands.

On the other hand, Yuan Xi must always be vigilant against the opponent's siege. If the strength of the two sides is similar, Yuan Xi will be exhausted after a long time. However, Yuan Xi's most abundant source of troops is the source of troops. It is impossible to pose a substantial threat to Yuan Xi.

"You stay here, I'll ask Mr. what is the strategy to defeat the enemy!" Three days later, Ma Chao exhausted all his strength and chose to compromise. It is really difficult to break the city by himself.

After a brief explanation, Ma Chao quickly rushed to Juyongguan, only to see that Lu Bu and Chen Gong were allocating food and grass leisurely from the rear. Guangning broke through, allowing them to obtain a large amount of supplies. Burned down, but now it is cheaper for Chen Gong. The food and grass, together with the cattle and sheep borrowed by Lu Bu, are enough for the army for half a year.

I don't know if this battle can be fought for half a year, and the unkilled cattle and sheep can be used to carry food and grass, which greatly reduces their demand for civilian husbands.

"Sir, the last general will not be able to break through the city, so Yuan Jun will seal the city gates, and the last general will not be able to break through the city gates, so please advise me on a strategy to defeat the enemy." Ma Chao didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Chen Gong explained his own history.

I can't break the city, you teach me.

"The other party is determined not to be able to hold on, and with the strength of Juyongguan, it may take a lot of effort to break through this city." Chen Gong took a leisurely sip of water, looked at Ma Chao and smiled.

"I don't know at the end of the day, but how to break the city, please enlighten me!" Ma Chao said anxiously.

"Meng Qi is used to the battles between the two armies in Xiliang, and he doesn't understand the offensive and defensive battles. I'm not in a hurry now, why don't Meng Qi think about how to break the city." Chen Gong looked at Ma Chao with a smile , the voice was not in a hurry, but it made Ma Chao anxious enough.

"Sir, I can't tell you the truth? Why waste food and grass here?" Ma Chao frowned.

"I passed this test for you today, but in the future, Meng Qi will let me join the army in every battle?" Chen Gong looked at Ma Chao and asked with a smile: "What will you do then?"

"This..." Ma Chao was speechless: "Is it going to last like this?"

"This way..." Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "You and I set a time limit of half a month. If you can break through the city within half a month, you will earn another credit. If you can't break through the Juyong Pass in half a month, I will teach you how to break it." ,how?"

"Okay!" Ma Chao nodded when he heard the words, and saluted Chen Gong, "Then the general will go back to the camp first."

Chen Gong nodded.

Seeing Ma Chao leave, Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Gongtai really has a clever plan to break the city?"

According to what Ma Chao said, the city wall of Juyongguan is more than ten battles thick. This is not a city wall. It is clearly a high platform built on this ancient road. Now the only city gate that can pass through the pass has been sealed with stones. This city... Lu Bu thought to himself that he didn't know what to do.

"If Yuan Shao really chooses to set up a bureau here to kill Marquis Wen, then even if the barrier is not broken, Yuan Shao will try to let it out. After half a month, counting the time I spent on the road before waiting, it will have been [-] days, and the [-] days have passed Enough for the other side to complete the layout, if the Juyong Pass is not broken by then, it means that Yuan Shao is not here, and I will try to break the city later." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Do you have a plan to break the city?" Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Chen Gongdao.

"Wen Hou Mo forgot to use the supernatural powers." Chen Gong laughed, and if he didn't sell the wine, it seemed that everyone had forgotten that Chen Gong was also a person with supernatural powers, and the supernatural powers belonged to the top group.

"Gongtai supernatural power... Yuqi?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong blankly. What does this supernatural power have to do with breaking the city?

"It can also be said to be an imperial object!" Chen Gong said with a smile: "If you can cooperate with the strength of Wanjun, you can pave a slope directly to the top of the city!"

This kind of dangerous level is actually not too difficult for Chen Gong. After two years of training his supernatural powers in the technique of visualization, combined with Confucian brushwork, he can condense a road leading directly to the opponent's city in a short time.

Putting pen to paper into reality is somewhat similar to the way of speaking, but it is not as good, but it can last for a long time. Even if Chen Gong is a great Confucian, he can use the way of saying to follow the way, and at most he can support it for a quarter of an hour. If the power of Fa Sui is too great, even great Confucianists can hardly bear its backlash.

After seeing the luck, Chen Gong also realized what the words are really consuming, so he would not use this powerful words easily, but if he used his character spirit to cooperate with himself Supernatural powers can also do this, not only lasts for a long time, but also has minimal backlash against oneself.

"So that's the case!" Lu Bu nodded, and said calmly, "If Yuan Shao is really here, will Ziyan's side break the city as soon as possible?"

"Ziyan said in a letter before that if it is confirmed that Yuan Shao is here, I will immediately send a letter to Ziyan, and there will be news there soon."
