Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 480: Attack, go straight to the heart; defend, impregnable!
The "hook cart" mentioned by Liao Hua was actually mentioned in "Mozi". It was originally a siege equipment capable of destroying city walls, similar to an "excavator".

However, the kind Guan Lin asked Liao Hua to make in Jiangxia was different from the ordinary "hook cart". It was an improved two-claw "double hook cart" mentioned in "Wu Jing Zong Yao" written by Zeng Gongliang of the Song Dynasty. .

The structure of the double-hook truck is very simple. It is just an ordinary chariot with two rows of ladders on it. The two rows of ladders are in the shape of an inverted triangle...

The parallel ladder above has two large hooks at the end, which are enough to hook the city wall and drive the ladder directly to the tower.

The operation is also very simple. When it is time to attack the city, the double-hook car arrives at the enemy's city, stirs the mechanism, and the ladder with the big hook on the top moves forward slowly, and the huge hook tightly grasps the city wall...

It is equivalent to forcibly building a city tower in front of the double-hook cart and the city wall. In this way, one's own soldiers can climb the city wall from one side of the double-hook cart and quickly achieve the effect of climbing first to break the city.

(Ps: There are pictures attached, but I don’t know...if the pictures were approved by editors during the National Day.)
Speaking of which, the manufacture of this "double-hook cart" is not difficult. The craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty is fully capable. It does not even require Mianshui Villa or the intervention of Liu Ye and Huang Chengyan. Liao Hua alone can complete it.

嗏

This did not hinder Guan Yu at all. After realizing the principle of this "double hook car", Guan Yu was greatly shocked.

——‘If you use this to attack a city, it will be twice the result with half the effort compared to using a ladder to block arrows with your body!Can reduce more than half of casualties! 』

It is true that Guan Yu is good at field combat, but it does not mean that he knows nothing about the principles of attacking difficulties.

Ever since this "double-hook chariot" appeared before his eyes, Guan Yu had realized an important fact. The pattern of siege warfare had been changed because of this "new ordnance"!

It becomes easier——

Of course, if this double hook car is shocking enough, it is enough to make Guan Yu daydream... It has almost given Guan Yu the hope of breaking "Yiyang City"!

Then...

The next siege equipment, the so-called "big one" in Liao Hua's mouth, made Guan Yu even more surprised and shocked, and even... Because of this, he not only saw the hope of capturing Yiyang, but his vision and layout suddenly changed. spread out.

now…

Facing the thin morning sun, another piece of siege equipment that had just been assembled and was so huge that even Guan Yu was horrified when he stood in front of it was placed in the village.

This is also a chariot. In terms of size, it is probably not comparable to ten double-hook chariots.

Because I want to demonstrate how to use this siege engine.

Therefore... Liao Hua had already sent Jiangxia soldiers to gather among them.

I saw that the cart was several stories high, with soldiers hidden inside, and covered with leather. It was pulled by oxen or pushed by people. It could be pushed to the bottom of the city unexpectedly. Because it was the same height as the city, it could directly climb over the city wall and fight the enemy.

Guan Yu looked at the chariot and couldn't help but sigh: "This chariot is a hundred times more majestic than the well railings! Even the boats on the water are beyond its reach, right?"

Liao Hua quickly explained: "Master Yunqi said that this is called 'Lv Gong's Car'. It was made layer by layer by the soldiers, and then assembled together. The whole package is about ten feet high, fifty feet long, several floors heavy, and made of cow leather." Cover the left and right sides, and place the board as if it were flat ground!"

Speaking of this, Liao Hua pointed to the highest point of Nalu's bus, and continued, "One person wears a sword and carries a feather flag, and hundreds of people are waiting for poisonous arrows. There are two cloud towers on the side, and they are dragged by oxen, overlooking the city... these , I didn’t say that, that’s what is written on Mr. Yunqi’s drawings.”

The drawings, of course, need to be elegant and elegant!

To put it simply, these words are just two words - "tall" and "strong"!
In fact, the small parts have been completed, and we just need to fill them in. Each floor is still being assembled.

And when... all the layers were assembled, the height of Lu Gong's chariot... was higher than the city wall. It accommodated a thousand people and required oxen to drag it forward.

Of course... this Lugong chariot is not a product of this era. It was invented in the "19th year of Emperor Shun's reign in the Yuan Dynasty" and was carried forward during the great melee at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

To put it more concisely, this is a movable bunker, which is enough to forcibly board the city when faced with a situation where the enemy cannot hold on.

You know, this Lu Gongcha was the trump card of "Chen Youliang" in the late Yuan Dynasty. Of course... he was not without weaknesses. The weakness was that he was afraid that the enemy would open the city gate and suddenly burst out.

That year, Xue Xian, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty and a subordinate of Zhu Yuanzhang, cracked it like this...

But...for Guan Yu, he wished that the enemy would open the city gate and protrude out, otherwise, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword would be rusty.

call…

Looking at the rows of double-hook trucks in front of him and the Lu Gong truck that was undergoing final assembly, Guan Yu asked: "How long will it take -"

"Half an hour..." Liao Hua said.

Guan Yu gave a rare nod. According to his temperament and his combat style of "attacking people from thousands of miles away", under normal circumstances, he would not give the enemy half an hour to prepare, but... because of Yun Qi's "incredible" invention , this brand new way of siege that makes people imagine, Guan Yu... decided:
——"So what if I give these Jiangdong rats half an hour?" 』

...

...

Yiyang City, Wulin Port, the prefect here is Zhu Huan, one of the four surnames of Wu named "Zhu".

Zhu Zhi's younger brother is destined to experience with his elder brother the greatest sorrow in life - a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

Four months ago, on the same day of the same year, the two most outstanding juniors of the Zhu family, Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi, were gone. They both died in Jiangdong, at the hands of "Gan Ning".

Today, 42-year-old Zhu Huan looks desolate, as if exhaustion is written all over his face.

He is destined to have a bad year this year.

The death of the only son, the son who had been carefully raised since childhood, made Zhu Huan become nervous all day long, and he would stay in the ancestral hall for several hours every day.

I don't know if I am talking to my son who has been separated forever that day, or if I am asking for forgiveness from the ancestors of the Zhu family.

If only that's the case.

Since Sun Quan decided to backstab Jingzhou, then... Yiyang, which connects Jingnan, Jingbei and Jiaozhou waterways, has become unusually important...

Sun Quan weighed it again and again and decided to leave it to the four major families in Wu County who could reassure him to garrison it.

"Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang"...

The Gu family has no handsome men, the Lu family has run away, the Zhang family... Zhang Wen is polite, eloquent, and an outstanding lobbyist, but he does not have the ability to lead an army. Looking at it this way... I still have to leave this matter to the Zhu family.

But Zhu Zhi was so angry at the pain of losing his son that he insisted on attacking Jingzhou.

There was no other way, Sun Quan could only entrust Zhu Huan with important tasks.

What’s outrageous is…

When Sun Quan saw off Zhu Huan, before leaving...Zhu Huan suddenly picked up the wine glass and said to Sun Quan: "I am about to leave my lord. If I can touch my lord's beard, I will have no regrets in this life."

The nagging Zhu Huan actually wanted to touch the tiger's beard. Sun Quan... was naturally unwilling to do so, but he still leaned on the desk and stretched out his head, allowing Zhu Huan to touch his purple beard. How could he have thought... Zhu Huan Huan actually pulled out one with force.

He also laughed and sighed: "Is this considered to be pulling out the tiger's beard today?"

Sun Quan could only smile...

As a result, rhetoric such as "stroking the tiger's beard" and "pulling out the tiger's beard" became popular in Jiangdong and became very popular.

Of course, Sun Quan knew in his heart that "pulling out the tiger's beard" was the Zhu family's attitude. It was the Zhu family's punishment for Sun Quan after losing two of their sons... It was a small punishment but a big warning!
But considering the status of the Zhu family in Soochow, and the endless family resources of more than [-] tribes in their hands, Sun Quan could only endure it.

As for the Jiangdong clan, as long as he was not as openly rebellious as the Lu family, he, Sun Quan, could not be as ruthless as he was to those "exile" people.

At this moment, Zhu Huan had no idea what was going on outside.

He is busy with another thing.

A member of the Zhu family escorted a maid up, "General, she is the Luotou clan! And she has already been recruited. She is from the Jiefan camp!"

Relieve trouble camp…

This Soochow intelligence agency!
The maid next to him was from Jiefan camp, so naturally... Zhu Huan could deduce who sent her.

"Since I'm from Jiefan Camp, that general is not easy to deal with, haha..." Zhu Huan sneered, "But you guys from Jiefan Camp are so capable, how come you can't even stop Gan Ning from escaping? It's in vain that you let me Son, my nephew lost his life!"

"Come here, send her out to sea, give her a ship, and let her fend for herself in the sea. Hmph... If I see you again in Soochow, don't blame me for being rude to you."

As he spoke...the tribesmen pulled the maid from the Jiefan camp down.

Today's Zhu family, after losing their heir, has become more and more fierce...

Especially Zhu Huan, although he didn't say it with his mouth, he always hated Sun Quan in his heart.

As the maidservant was taken away, the tribesmen asked: "General, how can I explain to the Marquis of Wu that this maidservant has disappeared?"

"Explain?" Zhu Heng glared at him coldly, "My son's death? Did Sun Quan explain to me again?"

This…

The tribesmen were startled.

But even so, Zhu Huan still reminded him coldly: "First spread the news, saying that this maid is a weird person. After falling asleep every night, her head will automatically fly away. Until dawn, her head will fly away." Just returned to her body. Her head flew out again last night. The female companion who lived with her accidentally added a quilt to her neck and blocked the gap in her neck so that her head could not fly back. However, this general found out and saved her. Her life is unknown, but this girl is unknown...I have sent her overseas!"

what…

The tribesmen were shocked, "General, this is outrageous."

Zhu Huan insisted as always, "Is it outrageous? Gan Ning could escape from Jiangdong, but my son was killed by Gan Ning. This is even more outrageous. What does Sun Quan, the whole Jiangdong civil and military do?"

Zhu Huan complained...

Of course, the story of the "Luotou clan" he mentioned is indeed recorded.

Zhu Huan did have a maid. After falling asleep every night, her head would fly away automatically, and her head would not return to her body until dawn.

Zhu Huan regarded her as an ominous alien, and in order to seek a stable environment, he moved her and her tribe, the entire "Luotou clan", to the Fuso Peninsula, which is now known as the "Luotou clan" in his childhood. Flying head barbarian'!
In the genealogy of Feitouman, their origin... also originated from this.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is... Zhu Huan of the Zhu family suddenly became hardened.

In today's current situation, Soochow is stabbing Jingzhou in the back, and the entire Jiangdong is empty...

The [-] Zhu family members in Yiyang City are what he can rely on to be arrogant and arrogant.

Who would have thought that here... Zhu Huan had just dealt with the informants planted by the "Jiefanying Camp" beside him. Suddenly... a detective horse rushed in quickly: "General, it's not good... Guan Jiajun, Guan Yu and Guan Jiajun are approaching Yiyang City. !”

Zhu Huan suddenly woke up and said, "Ah? Who? Who do you think is approaching?"

"Guan...it's the Guan family army! The leader of the Guan family army, Guan Yu, is riding a red rabbit horse, leading the way...Also, outside the city...there are siege equipment that I have never seen before..."

Zhu Huan pushed away all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk, and asked in horror: "Why are you here? How come Guan Yu and Guan Jiajun are here? Jiangling and Changsha were obviously attacked, he...he Guan Yu shouldn't go back to help. Help...how...could...he...where is he Guan Yu?"

At this time, another detective came to report, "General... Dongting Lake Water Village was captured last night, and Guan Yu led the Guan family army to kill..."

It seems that this is a scout who came from Dongting Lake.

Logically speaking, the speed of scouts should be faster than that of the army, but... if it is the Guan family army, they are usually trained to be fast... The requirement is that when marching in a hurry, the speed must be faster than the enemy's scouts...

Attack the city before the enemy's intelligence is delivered!Out of the blue!

Of course, this is easy to say, but Guan Yu is the only one in this world who can do it.

Now, Guan Jiajun has arrived in Yiyang for half an hour, and the scouts are belatedly arriving.

This…

Zhu Huan was stunned.

Naturally, because Jingzhou took Gan Ning in, he hated Guan Yu deeply, but...it was clearly Soochow who was stabbing Jingzhou in the back, why...Guan Yu stole his home and went to Yiyang instead.

"Report..."

At this moment, a city guard leader came to report, "Guan Jiajun... Guan Jiajun is attacking the city!"

"Have you already attacked the city?" Zhu Huan was stunned and asked in astonishment, but he quickly relaxed and whispered as if to comfort himself: "The Guan family army has suffered heavy setbacks several times, and the number that can fight is only [-]. I, Yiyang There are also [-] Zhu family members. Across the city wall, Guan Yu is riding a red rabbit horse? Can he fly in..."

This sentence blurted out.

The fourth soldier quickly broke in and said, "Report... Guan Yu has led the Guan family's army to the city tower. Now our army is fighting with the Guan family's army on the city tower... The situation is not optimistic 1"

What?
In an instant, Zhu Huan's face turned as white as paper.

Four pieces of intelligence in a row, just overnight. How did he, Guan Yu...how did he go from appearing outside the city, to attacking the city, to conquering the city first?
So fast?
This is the city wall!
…Is this a city wall made of rammed earth?Why did you just say come up and come up?
Will they fly?

It can be seen with the naked eye that Zhu Huan's complexion is getting worse day by day, and now he is extremely pale——

...

...

Under the Yiyang City, there was no "rumbling" sound of wooden rafters hitting the city gate. Instead, there was... the Guan army pouring into the city of Yiyang as if they were walking on flat ground.

Guan Jiajun can't fly.

But...the double-hook car and the Lu Gong car are too deadly.

There are more than thirty double-hook carts lined up side by side. Their hooks firmly hook the entire city wall. Behind the hooks is a ladder that is as smooth as a road...

More than thirty ladders stood side by side, forming a bridge. The soldiers climbed up from the ladder behind the double-hook car, and then rushed into the city and into the battlefield as if they were walking on flat ground.

Lu Gongchao is more deadly...

Lu Gong's chariot with a thousand people hidden inside was pushed to the front of the city by two thousand soldiers, and it was closely attached to the city wall. Then...in Lu Gong's chariot, which was higher than the city wall, first countless arrows shot down the defenders at the top of the city. The army, and then... these soldiers jumped down one by one and launched the most ferocious attack on the head of Yiyang City.

The most important thing is that whether it is a double-hook car or a Lugong car, these are all too unfamiliar to Zhu Jiajun.

Under such a sudden attack, it was impossible for them to find a way to crack it.

We can only passively resist at the top of the city...

No, to be precise, they are stubbornly resisting!

In front of this Guan family army with amphibious warfare capabilities... Where is the Zhu family's opponent?

They relied on only the hard and thick city walls, but now... these no longer exist.

On the tower, Guan Ping and Guan Yinping were already killing each other like crazy.

Because they climbed the tower so easily, the Guan family's army was in great momentum. Looking back at the Zhu family's actions, their moods were all stunned, confused, at a loss and hesitant!

Their morale is rapidly hitting rock bottom.

Yes, when these soldiers faced unknown siege equipment and the Guan family army who were like divine soldiers descended from heaven, they all panicked. They were not prepared enough, no... they were simply unprepared!
No one would have thought that as soon as this battle started, it would quickly advance past the siege stage and directly evolve into a battle for the city head.

Important battles are fought in this way, so what is the significance of cities and walls?
The flames of war burned, and countless people roared heart-piercingly.

Looking down from Jiutian, you can see that the fiery red Guan Jiajun, which symbolizes the "virtue of fire", is blending and colliding with the green Wu Jun, which symbolizes the "virtue of wood".

On the top of Yiyang City, there were more than five thousand red troops, like a sharp long knife, piercing straight into the heart of the green Wu army.

The [-] Wu troops were torn apart in an instant, and each crack continued to deepen and expand. It was like a dike that was eaten by ants and became riddled with holes in an instant.

Guan Ping finally captured the switch that controlled the suspension bridge at the top of the city.

Although, this also caused him to be surrounded by the Wu army.

The Zhu family's story naturally ended until the switch of the suspension bridge was lost. What did that mean? Immediately, one after another came endlessly to compete for the switch of the suspension bridge!
Here - there is no cry of sorrow from the weak, only the roar of the strong.

Facing several times the number of enemies, the Guan Army refused to give in, as if... no one could pry away the place they occupied!

finally…

With a "crunching" sound, the gate of Yiyang City opened.Guan Yu rode on the red rabbit horse, raised his Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and then he took the lead...like a warship riding the wind and waves, he rushed into the city gate, and countless Guan family soldiers also poured in.

They were roaming freely in Yiyang City, and Guan Yu's Green Dragon Sword with green light... was guiding them.

The Zhu Family Trilogy... Although there are many people, the successive losses of the city walls and city gates seem to prove an undoubted fact. The Guan Family Army is an invincible existence for them!

In just a moment, Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Guan Yinping...

Their battle armor was dyed red, and became extremely bright under the reflection of the sun and the light of the sword.

Zhu Huan hurriedly put on his armor and ran while shouting: "Come on, come on, take back the city gate, take back the city gate..."

That's what he said, but when he ran to the city gate, there was already a door open here. Now... it's no longer the problem of the city gate, but - street fighting!
The only remaining stubborn resisters of the Zhu Jiajun were engaged in a final... and inevitable defeat in the street battle with Guan Yu.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Huan's expression suddenly changed. He couldn't understand why a perfectly good city was forced to descend into street fighting before it could be defended.

He backed away timidly and shouted hurriedly: "Quick, retreat to the east gate, retreat to the east gate -"

The east gate was originally used for retreat.

But...here, Zhou Cang, Wang Fu, and Zhao Lei had already used the "double-hook car" to seize the door first. Like Ximen, this place also fell into passive street fighting.

At this time, Zhu Huan looked helplessly at the crumbling defenders inside and outside the city, and said feebly, "It's over, it's over... I'm afraid I have to go to Jiuquan to see my poor son."

There were fewer and fewer personal guards around Zhu Huan. Some escaped on their own, and some decisively chose to keep a distance from Zhu Huan at this time. The remaining clan members also looked around, looking for ways to escape.

at this time…

A sharp sword was suddenly drawn out, and it pierced Zhu Huan's shoulder. Zhu Huan screamed in pain and fell off his horse. He looked at the assassin and the female assassin in horror...

He lost his voice and said, "It's...is it you? A woman from the Luotou clan!"

The one who killed him was the maid from Jiefan camp in Soochow. She put away her dagger and let the blood gush out from Zhu Huan's shoulder.

Te allowed Zhu Huan to hold the ground with one hand, struggling to support his weak body.

The woman said coldly, "Luotou clan is just my identity when I enter Jiefan camp. I have a name. My name is Zhou Yi. It is true that I am a secret agent of Jiefan camp, but I am also my brother Zhou Lang. My sister, even if she is a woman from the Luotou clan, her head is still on her head and she won’t wander around at night... But your head..."

As she spoke, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the maid named Zhou Yi, and a merciless dagger passed across...

What was seen was a line of blood on Zhu Huan's neck.

One of the four surnames of Wu and the second-in-command of the Zhu family died in Yiyang City like this.

But this time, Zhou Yi's eyebrows relaxed slightly. She glanced at Zhu Huan who fell to the ground for the last time, and then left the place as if nothing happened.

As she walked, she whispered in her heart:

——"I never thought that in this life... I could actually help that unfaithful person!" 』

At this moment, she thought of someone, a man in Shu who was upright, but was "unfeeling" and "determined" to her to the extreme, and his words, "Since I pledged myself to Han, it is difficult to agree to Qing again." ——”

...

...The city of Yiyang has been destroyed, and Guan Yu leads the Guan family's army into the city arrogantly.

From the siege of the double-hook chariot and Lu Gong chariot to the end of this battle, it only took an hour, which can be described as a storm.

Except for the Wu general Zhu Huan who died inexplicably in the city, his shoulder was pierced by a dagger, and there was a trace of blood on his neck, no one recognized this credit...

Except that Zhu Huan's death was reduced to an unsolved case, the entire siege process went smoothly.

Soldiers from Jiangxia have begun to dismantle Lu Gong's cart and double-hook cart.

Fortunately, the double hook car can be disassembled quickly and can be spliced ​​together at any time when needed.

But the dismantling and splicing of Lu's bus was a big project.

Guan Yu, on the other hand, walked to the official office with dragon and tiger steps, and looked at the spiritual tablets that could be seen everywhere in the official office. The names Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi were very eye-catching.

Guan Yu laughed.

He sat on the seat of the prefect and said in a deep voice: "It's time to fill in another spiritual tablet here. Haha, there is only one Zhu Zhi missing. This Zhu family, one of the four surnames of Wu, has only one general in the period. We can reunite under Jiuquan..."

Mentioning Zhu Zhi, Guan Yu naturally thought of the defenses of Jiangling and Changsha.

Before coming, there was information that was told to Guan Yu.

——Lü Meng, Zhu Zhi, He Qi, Ding Feng, and Jiang Qin raided Changsha;
——And Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, and Ma Zhong attacked Jiangling...

Suddenly thought of this...

Guan Yu couldn't help but think about it, and he didn't know... here... Guan Yu's attack went smoothly, but over there... these rats and villains from Soochow, wouldn't they also have such success?

"Do you have any information about Jiangling and Changsha?"

Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang, with a hint of concern in his words.

Zhou Cang said truthfully, "Reporting to the second general... The Guan family army is marching like flying. Even if there is news from Jingzhou, I am afraid that the fast horse delivering the news will not be able to catch up with the foot power of our Guan family army..."

As soon as this statement comes out…

"Hahahaha..." Guan Yu laughed.

As the laughter faded, he stopped worrying about Jingzhou.

That's right... He, Guan Yu, is worried about nothing but a caterpillar. He and the Guan family's army just charge forward, attack the city and capture the ground, and leave everything in the rear to Yun Qi!

Even if he has no confidence in Mi Fang and Liao Li, how can Guan Yu have no confidence in his son Guan Lin?
Immediately…

Guan Yu changed the subject, "Has the entire city been cleared?"

"The entire Yiyang City has been cleared!" Guan Ping quickly replied: "According to the prisoners' accounts, there are still a large number of ships at Wulin Port, Chibi on the other side, and Shaxian, Chaisang, Fankou... behind Chibi. There are less than three thousand soldiers and horses, and in the entire rear area of ​​Soochow, only Yiyang City has a large number of troops hoarded!"

"Just right..." Guan Yu nodded meticulously, and then raised his eyes, "Lv Gong's car is powerful in destroying cities and villages, but it is too heavy and difficult to disassemble, let alone transport. However, the double hook car is better. It can be dismantled and transported. It’s also convenient, since Sha Xian, Chai Sang, and Fankou don’t have enough troops, so there is no need for Lu Gong’s chariot, just bring the double hook chariot to help my Guan family’s army break the city!”

As he spoke, Guan Yu's eyes looked at Liao Hua, as if... being able to send these magical weapons, Liao Hua should be the first to defeat Yiyang in this battle.

After hearing Guan Yu's instructions, Liao Hua quickly opened his mouth: "The last general has sent people to dismantle the double-hook cart. The baggage team has been specially trained. Even if it cannot keep up with the speed of the second general's army, it is not far behind."

With Liao Hua's voice.

Guan Yu nodded again, but as he nodded, his phoenix eyes suddenly opened and closed, "Send my military order, and in half a quarter of an hour the whole army will march towards Chibi, and first cross the natural danger of the Yangtze River——"

"promise--"

With everyone's sonorous and powerful response, the entire atmosphere here became excited and exciting.

——Raise troops for a thousand days, use them for a while!
Guan Jiajun has been supporting Guan Lin for so long, and he can finally be the main force!

Coupled with the new siege equipment and the feat of conquering two cities in one day, the morale of the entire Guan family army was high and the momentum was like a rainbow.

——This dagger pierces the heart of Soochow...

——Now, it is glowing with the most powerful light.

...

...

In Changsha City, [-] men defended [-] men. This was the most disparate military strength, and it also seemed to be the most difficult battlefield.

Fortunately, Hao Zhao had been preparing for this day for half a year. Theoretically, the wood arrow stones seemed to be fully stocked, but... he still couldn't withstand such a large scale being thrown outside the city.

In addition, Hao Zhao was facing Soochow's "most shameless" legion, headed by Lu Meng, who had been preparing for the attack on Changsha for four months.

In order to seize Changsha, they can trample all morals and use all despicable methods!

Therefore…

Two days of offense and defense...Lü Meng made unexpected moves, but Hao Zhao took advantage of them.

But...the reserves of arrows, hammered wood, stones, and even fish oil and eight-year-old crossbow arrows...are consumed very quickly.

As a last resort, the soldiers and civilians have begun to demolish houses and use the wood to supply the city.

On the other hand, Soochow's military tent.

After Lu Meng analyzed the reasons why the siege of the city was repeatedly blocked in the past two days, he finally made the wisest decision and issued the latest and most reliable order.

"——Changsha City, the old and new cities, has a total of four gates and one auxiliary road... The reason why our army has been repeatedly frustrated is because our troops are divided into attacking these four gates, resulting in the dispersion of troops. It is better to kill the enemy's ten fingers than to cut off one... If we want to To destroy the city, just a little concentration is enough!"

Speaking of this, Lu Meng's voice became louder and louder, "The old and new cities are trying to confuse each other. As long as they defeat the enemy, Changsha City will fall immediately..."

As he spoke, Lu Meng pointed his finger at the narrow auxiliary road between the old and new cities of Changsha City.

"General Zhu Zhi, you will attack the new city head-on. General Jiang Qin, you will pretend to attack the old city. General Ding Feng, you will sneak into this auxiliary road with light equipment, look for blind spots in the defender's vision, and find a way to break out from here. Raise the ladder and climb to seize the city first——"

Main attack, feint attack, auxiliary attack...

Lu Meng has brought his command to the extreme.

And in this order of his, the auxiliary road for Ding Feng's attack is the key, the key to the danger of the troops, and the key to success or failure.

And then assist Dao...

As the name suggests, it is a narrow path connecting the old and new cities.

It stands to reason that if we attack from here, all the crossbowmen from the old and new cities can kill the enemies in this auxiliary road.

In other words, this is the most dangerous place and the easiest place to be a target.

But what Lu Meng is best at is scheming.

——The most dangerous place is often the safest place!
"The enemy's troops are limited. Since they have to guard all the city gates, they must not have extra manpower to take care of the auxiliary roads in the middle... Therefore, there must be a blind spot here!"

Lu Meng's eyes became extremely sharp.

Ding Feng immediately took off his thick armor. Wearing only a single piece of clothing, he cupped his hands and said, "It only takes a hundred breaths for me to climb the tower first——"

really…

When we attacked the city that night, the situation took a turn for the worse. Due to the strong night wind, several torches on the auxiliary road were extinguished. In addition... the enemy attacked the city. In the panic, no defenders could supply the torches... This made the auxiliary road very difficult. There's a huge blind spot.

Of course, this was an oversight!
Because of this negligence, under the leadership of Ding Feng, the soldiers of the Wu army quietly set up a ladder on the secondary road between the new and old cities.

This side road is only two people wide...

No one would have thought that the soldiers of Soochow could charge up from here.

For the sake of speed, these soldiers, like Ding Feng, gave up their heavy armor.

Suddenly, countless Wu troops rushed up from behind.

The Jingzhou army was shocked when they discovered them... The bayonets on the front battlefield were already red. At this time, hundreds of Wu troops suddenly came out from behind, and the consequences were devastating.

"Kill in...Kill in..."

Ding Feng's voice kept rising, inspiring the fighting spirit of the Wu soldiers who boarded the city first one after another.

The river wind was biting and the night was lonely. His naked figure holding a torch in one hand and slashing with a short sword made every soldier of the Wu army excited.

It seems that this group of soldiers who have arrived first...will make a great contribution.

Even Han Xuan, who had always been calm and composed, was panicked at this moment. When he and Gong Zhi rushed to the city tower, they saw countless soldiers fighting for the opening and closing of the city gate...

That is, the "iron rope" and "winch" in the middle of the city...

"crunch..."

The bridge is lowered and pulled up, the city gate is opened and closed.

On top of the entire city...the competition for "iron ropes" and "winches" has become fierce...

The battle situation also fell into absolute excitement and corruption.

"Hao Bodao, Hao Bodao..." Liao Li, the governor of Changsha, shouted at Hao Zhao at the top of his lungs: "The enemy is about to attack the watchtower. You...you are still looking calm and calm. What should you do? You... You should say something! If you don't say anything, just... just fart!"

After two days of defense, the attacking Wu army was repulsed countless times...

Today, Hao Zhao has become the absolute belief in the hearts of the Changsha sergeants.

Han Xuan, Gong Zhi, and countless soldiers at the top of the city all looked at Hao Zhao, all looking forward to his response.

Finally, after a thousand calls came out, Hao Zhao smiled, the kind of extremely calm smile.

Just like his mood from beginning to end, it was as calm as the lake water, without even the slightest ripple.

"Lu Mengxue is smart. He is going to concentrate all his efforts on attacking the outer city of the new city..."

As he spoke, Hao Zhao's tone was calm, and his smile made people feel harmless. He continued, "Since Lu Meng wants to capture the outer city so much, then... just give it to him -"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Zhao immediately ordered, "Send my military order and all the sergeants will retreat from the auxiliary road on the tower to the top of the inner city..."

This…

As if... Hao Zhao's answer sounded a bit unreliable to Prefect Liao Li. The outer city was destroyed... Is the inner city still far away?Could it be that...the inner city is destroyed, and then we retreat into the old city?Then the outer city of the old city was destroyed, and then retreated into the inner city of the old city?This... Hao Zhao is giving this matryoshka doll?
"Retreat? This is not the way!"

Liao Li's voice was extremely urgent.

Hao Zhao explained softly while retreating to the inner city tower, "Changsha City has two old and new cities, and two inner and outer walls. He Lu Meng still thinks of this siege as simple... If he wants to capture Changsha City, he must at least defeat it. Four times, and I, Hao Zhao, may make mistakes, but I will never make four mistakes—"

At this point, Hao Zhao's eyes turned cold, and he pointed to the soldiers fighting on the tower in the distance, "Send my military order to give them the iron ropes and winches, and the entire army will evacuate..."

"Do you really want to withdraw?"

This time it was Gong Zhi, he couldn't help but ask.

Yes, with a mere 2000 troops guarding four city gates, it is incredible to be able to withstand four attacks by the Wu army in two days...

Just when everyone thought Hao Zhao would block the fifth time, he actually retreated... This... This...

Therefore...consolidating this sentence "I really want to withdraw" almost expresses the aspirations of all soldiers.

"Ha ha…"

Hao Zhao replied with a smile as he evacuated, "Just now, I said that if Lü Meng wants to capture Changsha City, he will have to do so at least four times, and I can't make four mistakes. Likewise... Lü Meng can't do it either. After making four correct decisions, in my opinion...his next decision will be enough to kill most of the Soochow soldiers!"

Hao Zhao's words always give people a feeling of "certainty"!

It's like, Wu Jun has attacked the city four times, and Hao Zhao has laid no less than four traps——

A trap that makes people wait and see!
