Shuhan

Chapter 138 Prince Liu Chan shows off his supernatural power, and the style of the martial arts hall first appears!
It turned out that the report of the school affairs office contained information about Cao Zhi and Zhen Mi.

A few days ago, Cao Pi went to Yecheng.

It's just that when they went to Yecheng, Zhen Mi and Cao Rui were not brought with them among the family members, but Queen Guo was taken with them.

In the past few days, Cao Zhi entered and left the inner courtyard of Cao Pi's mansion several times on the pretext of taking Cao Rui's literature examination.

As for what happened.
unknown.

However, some servants heard that after Pingyuan Hou Cao Zijian entered the inner courtyard, there were often sounds of joy between men and women.

It seems that people don't need to see it with their own eyes to know what happened.

"It really disgraces me, Cao Mengde, how could Gu give birth to such a beast?"

Cao Cao picked up the sword from the ground, and there was no way to vent his anger.

He glanced at the internal officer beside him, and immediately felt that he was very obtrusive.

What the egg doesn't have, staring at the orphan at the moment, are you kidding me?

Ok?
He directly stabbed the inner official's heart with a sword.

The sword was sharp, piercing into the inner officer's heart was as easy as piercing into a piece of tofu.

"Your Majesty."

The internal officer looked at Cao Cao with an aggrieved face, not knowing where he had angered King Wei.

He is usually humble enough and attentive enough. He knows that Cao Cao has the habit of killing people in his dreams. Every time he waits for Cao Cao to fall asleep, he stays far away, and usually he doesn't make any mistakes.

But why?
Where is this sword piercing my heart?
Internal officer:? ? ?
He just wants to scold his mother now.

A sword pierced the heart, and blood gushed out violently. Just as the thought came out, the man had already fallen.

"unlucky!"

Cao Cao wiped off the blood splashed on his face with a handkerchief, and shouted outside the hall: "Come here!"

Immediately, there were guards outside the hall entering the hall.

They were no strangers to seeing the corpse of an internal official in the hall.

After the king of Wei got old, he killed many people.

"Subordinates are here."

"Broadcast to Marquis Pingyuan."

If Cao Zhi wasn't his son, he would have stabbed him to death with a sword!
Out of sight, out of mind, I will clean up after a while and send it to the fief.

Uncle and sister-in-law?

Let you never meet again forever!
Under Xinye Castle.

The siege is in full swing.

The drums of Xinye City were beating, and the flames of war were raging.Wei Jun's defense of the city was as indestructible as an iron wall, while Jingzhou soldiers charged bravely. The tragic scene of attacking the city was shocking.

On the city wall, arrows from the Wei army shot down like rain, shooting at Jingzhou soldiers densely.The rain of arrows pierced through the rain curtain and instantly turned into cold lights of death, tearing the air fiercely.The Jingzhou soldiers tried their best to dodge, but countless warriors still fell, blood staining the soil under the city.

The siege engine suddenly hit the city gate, and the huge impact shook the entire city wall.The Wei army guarded tightly, and threw down the rolling logs and oil pans to meet the challenge of the Jingzhou soldiers.The log smashed the siege engine, the fire ignited the city wall, and the smoke filled the air in an instant, and the flames blazed.

On the city wall, the generals of the Wei Army were wearing iron armor and holding spears, standing in front of Jingzhou soldiers like an iron wall.They were ruthless, resolute and determined, brandishing their spears mercilessly, beheading the Jingzhou soldiers approaching the city wall under their horses.

However, the Jingzhou soldiers were not afraid, they climbed the city wall with all their might, and exchanged their courage and their lives for a chance of victory.They charged forward with sharp blades in their hands, but the lights and swords of the Wei army on the city wall formed steel barriers and repelled them.

The battlefield below the city was bloody and rampant, and the sound of brutal fighting filled the entire outside of the city.Jingzhou soldiers rushed to the city wall recklessly, were pierced by crossbow arrows, pierced by spears, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

On the city wall, broken stones, fragments of arrows and remaining blood stains covered the ground.The Shu army rushed to the city wall recklessly, holding spears and spears and knives, and slashed at the wooden fences and stones on the city wall in an attempt to break the enemy's solid defense line.

The sounds of fighting, shouting and screams from both sides were intertwined, forming a tragic and mournful movement.

The Jingzhou soldiers charged forward with all their strength, their figures became distorted and cruel under the reflection of the fire.The sword light flickered, the spear pierced the enemy's body, and the blood spilled on the city wall, dyeing the battlefield bright red.

The price of siege is heavy.

Jingzhou soldiers fell one by one, and their corpses piled up silently under the city wall, forming a tragic mountain of corpses.

Their faces were distorted, and there were still unsettled anger and endless pain in their eyes.

The casualties of Jingzhou soldiers continued to rise, and the inside and outside of Xinye City were full of strong murderous intentions and the atmosphere of death.

However, this crumbling Xinye City, on the third day, has not yet been captured.

In the Shu army camp outside Xinye City, Liu Chan and Guan Yu stood on the mound, looking at the battlefield of killing.

The blood was dripping, and the shouts were deafening.

However.
Xinye City just couldn't be beaten.

"This Xinye City, who is defending the city? After three days of continuous attack, the casualties are almost [-] elite soldiers, and they still can't take this city?"

Obviously, there are only a few thousand people in this city.

Why does it feel like there are thousands of troops inside?
The equipment for defending the city seems to be inexhaustible.

"Qi report to the king, the name of Wei general who guards the city is called Wenpin." The small and medium-sized army came forward to report.

"It was him?"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, but the anger in his heart dissipated.

"If Wenpin defends the city and Zhou Cang can't attack for a long time, then it's justifiable."

Wenpin was originally a general of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.After Liu Biao died, his son Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao.Wenpin did not follow Cao Cao at the beginning, until Cao Cao called for a meeting, and asked why it was so late, Wenpin said that he could not protect the land and was ashamed to see others.

Cao Cao was moved by this loyal minister's conceited feelings, and praised it first.

After that, Wenpin guarded Jiangxia, Dianbei soldiers, and Zhenjingjiang.

Cao Cao appointed Wen as the prefect of Jiangxia, controlled the northern army, entrusted him with the important task of border defense, and bestowed the title of Marquis of Guannei.

After Liu Bei left Nanjun and led his army into Shu, Le Jin of Xiangyang and Wenpin of Jiangxia took advantage of Liu Bei's entry into Shu and began to attack Nanjun.

In the first month of the 18th year of Jian'an, Le Jin and Wen Pin joined forces to fight Guan Yu at Xunkou.

Because of his outstanding performance in this battle, Wenpin was promoted to Marquis of Yanshouting and General of Rebellion.

Later, Wenpin captured Guan Yu's luggage in Hanjin and burned Guan Yu's warship in Jingcheng.

Guan Yu has dealt with this Wenpin a lot, and he is very clear about his abilities.

Naturally, Liu Chan had also heard of Wenpin's name.

"I think this Wenpin is good at defending the city. There are countless defensive equipment in the city. Even after the third day of attacking the city, there is no hope of going down the city."

Although the death squad led by Zhou Cang fell into the camp and went to the city first several times, they were beaten back every time.

The defenders in the city seem to have a steady stream, and the defense equipment seems to be inexhaustible.

This is really a bone, and it is still a hard bone!
If we can't fight anymore, I'm afraid we won't be able to beat Xinye City either.

Siege is the most important test of the quality of an army.

Casualties are heavy every day. If it is an ordinary army, the morale has long been low, and they dare not have the idea of ​​attacking the city.

The army led by Zhou Cang had followed Guan Yu for many years, so they couldn't be considered elite.

But after three days of siege, his morale has gradually declined.

Originally, on the second day, after clearing the obstacles outside the city, they could still rush to the city wall and fight with the Wei army on the city wall.

But with one bang, it weakened again, and exhausted three times. Now on the third day, even the city wall could not be rushed up.

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops and fights again tomorrow!"

I have to think about how to go to Xinye.

This kind of siege, the loss of soldiers is really too great.

"Woooooo~"

The sound of Mingjin came, and not long after, his body was covered in wounds, his armor was soaked in blood, Zhou Cang limped forward with a wrought iron machete in his hand.

The rough man's head was lowered, even with the armor on his body, he still knelt down.

"The last general is guilty, and he will not be allowed to go to Xinye for three days. He is willing to be punished by military law!"

Guan Yu shook his head lightly, stepped forward to help Zhou Cang up, and said, "This battle is not your fault!"

"Your Majesty, there is no joke in the army. How can you not punish him if you have agreed on the military law?"

Rewards and punishments are clear, this is the way to lead troops to fight.

"Defending the city is General Wenpin of the Wei State. You are not an opponent, but it is normal. As for the military law, you should go and rest first. When you attack the city in the future, I will punish you as the first to enter the camp."

What is trapped camp?
Gao Shun "had more than [-] soldiers, numbered as a thousand men, and their armors were all refined and neat. Every attack was invincible, and they were called 'trapped camps'".

There are only more than [-] people in the whole army, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and they are well equipped.

It can be seen that Liu Beijun who once defeated Guanzhang.

However, the trapped camp that Guan Yu talked about was not the trapped camp of Lu Bu's subordinate Gao Shun.

The momentum of the charge, there is advance but not retreat;

Trapped in the camp, it sounds like an elite division, but it doesn't sound like a death squad, attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold, rushing to the front, rushing to kill the enemy, rushing to the front.

If it is in the trapped camp, the casualty rate is several times that of other camps, but it is ten times as high.

"promise!"

Zhou Cang immediately took orders.

"Wait until the princes attack Xinye, the last general is willing to be the first to ascend!"

After dismissing Zhou Cang, Guan Yu looked at Xinye City.

At this moment, the Xinye city wall is full of arrows, and the city wall is also stained with blood.

The gate of Xinye City was opened, and many soldiers of the Wei army came forward to collect the corpses and retrieve some usable arrows and other siege equipment.

Guan Yu remained silent and did not order an attack.

It was already the third day, especially now that it was still summer, and some of the corpses on the battlefield had already begun to rot and stink.

It is of course very important to capture Xinye, but don't cause a plague in the army because of the capture of Xinye.

What's more, even if troops are sent to attack the city at this moment, when the gate of Xinye City is closed, dozens of brave peasants will die anyway.

And he, Guan Yunchang, is he the kind of person who would attack from behind?

"Xinye City is strong and thick, I don't know if His Highness has a way to break the city?"

Wenpin guards the city, Guan Yunchang is helpless now.

All he had to do was focus on Liu Chan, hoping that this good son-in-law could do something to open up the situation and reverse the situation.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: Therefore, the first is to attack the army, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort. If Wenpin can be persuaded to surrender and let him know how to return, this is naturally the least loss. The method is the best policy."

Best policy?

Guan Yu smiled wryly and shook his head.

"If we can persuade Wenpin to surrender, how can we attack Xinye in the past three days?"

If it is possible to subdue others without fighting, who would not want to do it?

Seeing the loss of nearly [-] soldiers at the head of Xinye City, Guan Yu felt distressed.

"If the best policy doesn't work, then it's the middle policy."

"Oh? What is the middle policy?"

Guan Yu's attention was immediately attracted, as was Guan Yinping behind Liu Chan.

"The middle strategy is to use the art of siege to attack and pull out the city."

Siege technique?

Guan Yu was even more curious.

"There are dozens of cities under attack by a certain city. Zhou Cang is under my command, and under the influence of my ears and eyes, it is also good. During the three days of attacking the city, I have used various methods. It is always the same. It didn't work."

When Zhou Cang attacked the city, he really exhausted his methods.

But that was the method used when attacking Qian Junzhai and the fortress in Xinye City. When it came time to really attack the city, it was just a ladder and a chariot moving forward. This was a deadly attack.

"General Zhou Cang's siege is based on the bravery of his soldiers. He will go all out, then decline, and three will be exhausted. If he can't take down the city in one battle, he will face the situation just now. He will not be able to advance an inch in the siege, and the morale of the army will be lost. , and my strategy for attacking the city is to attack skillfully!"

"How to attack skillfully?"

"Build siege equipment to attack the city!"

Siege implements?

Guan Yu was stunned.

"It's just siege equipment. Zhou Cang also built it. Aren't siege vehicles and ladders not siege equipment?"

"All."

Liu Chan smiled.

The lecture hall he built can be regarded as useful today.

"But not entirely. Tomorrow, I will talk about the martial arts students and the prince's pro-army, and about martial arts. After building a sample of the siege equipment, my uncle will understand."

On one side, Guan Yinping's eyes sparkled.

She also attended classes in the Martial Arts Lecture Hall, and there was a class on siege equipment.

When she was attending the class, she was astonished. She had never seen these siege equipment before.

Could it be possible to get a glimpse of the whole picture tomorrow?

"So, then I will wait for the good news."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, and his depressed mood just now subconsciously improved a lot.

Fortunately, His Highness is here!
The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead, the future of the world depends on His Highness.

As for him.
old!

Guan Yu walked back to the big tent of the Chinese army, while Liu Chan summoned his cronies to his tent.

All the generals gathered, and Liu Chan, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke slowly:
"Xinye City has not fallen for three consecutive days, and the morale of the army is low. Now it's time for us to come out of the martial arts hall."

All the generals in the tent heard it, and their hearts were surging.

They are all young men, generally not very old, just the age when the blood is on the top.

The Jingzhou soldiers under Guan Yu's command had all stepped forward to fight before, and they hadn't made an inch of merit. Now that they heard that there was something to do and military merit to be made, their eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, this siege will be left to your subordinates."

Xiang Chong stepped forward and didn't grasp the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Is that human?

"Your Highness, Yang is willing to be the first to ascend!"

Mi Yang is also asking for a fight.

"Your Highness, let me come!"

"It is my duty to conquer Xinye!"

All the generals in the tent are fighting fiercely, and Liu Chan feels relieved.

He smiled and said: "The main task of attacking may not be entrusted to us, but the matter of building siege equipment is the time to show our martial arts skills."

Build siege implements?
What is the credit for this?
Xiang Chong and Mi Yang were like dried up eggplants, and suddenly lost much interest.

"Wen Wei, would you like to go?"

Fei Yi nodded immediately when he heard it.

"This matter can be left to the subordinates."

Generals don't want to be carpenters, but only think about conquest on the battlefield, so this matter can only be left to Fei Yi.

"I started building siege equipment tonight, and rushed out one or two overnight."

Liu Chan took out a roll of drawings from behind the main seat.

"Build according to these drawings."

In fact, when we were in Chengdu, the Jiangwu Hall had built siege equipment.

Originally, I wanted to show my skills in Nanzhong.

unfortunately
When he arrived at Nanzhong, he hadn't fought a few fortified battles. Basically, Liu Chan won Nanzhong by tricks, and he never attacked the city at all.

The drawings of these siege equipment can be regarded as ashes for a long time.

现在
It's finally time for them to come in handy.

On the drawings, there are some complicated siege tools: dust truck, flying ladder, bamboo flying ladder, creeping flying ladder, wooden flying ladder, Qi cart, pedestrian bridge, skycar, female wall and cloud ladder , wooden mantle, wooden ox cart and pointed wooden donkey.
Really this era, as well as some siege equipment of later generations, Liu Chan has included some of them.

"promise."

Fei Yi's eyes brightened slightly.

Build these lumps, and when the time comes, the army of Wei in Xinye City will cry.

Fei Yi took the order, and Liu Chan fixed his eyes on Xiang Chong and Mi Yang at this time.

"You two, is there anyone who is willing to dig the ground and attack the city?"

Building a siege apparatus is a frontal assault.

However, in order to prevent the frontal attack from being effective, Liu Chan naturally kept a hand.

A frontal attack won't work, so I'll come to Earth Dungeon and dig a tunnel.

Digging tunnels not only allowed troops to break into the city defense system through the tunnels, but also dug holes under the foundation of the city wall. First, support the hollowed out part with wooden boards, and then set fire to the brackets. Once the foundation was loosened, the city wall would collapse.The siege troops can swarm up into the gap to expand the victory.

but
It will take a long time to dig the tunnel.

What's more, working in the soil is easy to be discovered by the defenders in the city.

So Liu Chan is going to prepare with both hands.

During the siege, start digging tunnels.

During the siege, the momentum was overwhelming. The Wenpin in the city probably didn't have the heart to defend the tunnels.

of course
It's best not to use this authenticity.

A frontal attack can defeat Xinye.

Mi Yang glanced left and right, had no choice but to get up and said, "Then, I'll leave this matter to my subordinates."

At least there is still the possibility of making meritorious service by digging a tunnel.

It's not like making siege equipment, but it looks like making wedding dresses for others.

"it is good!"

Seeing Mi Yang get up, Liu Chan was very relieved.

Naturally, there is dirty work in the army, and this dirty work naturally needs someone to do it.

Can't all the credit be taken by you alone?
"Each perform their duties, and there will be opportunities to make contributions in the future, and the battle with Wei is not far away!"

As soon as Liu Chan said this, the eyes of all the generals in the tent lit up.

Now it's just a new field.

And if Xinye can be brought down.

Rang County, and even Xudu, can be pointed at by soldiers!
At that time, the meritorious service made will be heavenly merit!

The next day.

Among the Shu army, Liu Chan asked Fei Yi to build the siege equipment according to the blueprint, which was already completed.

These big guys immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Guan Yu got up early, and before the sun rose, he had already studied all these siege equipment.

"Hey! Seeing such a sharp weapon, I just understood what His Highness said yesterday."

Yesterday Liu Chan told him that Zhou Cang did not use siege equipment when he attacked the city, and he refuted it at that time.

Who didn't use siege equipment?
Ladder isn't it?

Rush the car, isn't it?

But compared with the siege equipment in front of you, the siege equipment used for siege yesterday is really not a serious siege equipment.

Not only Guan Yu was shocked, but the food and fodder officials Zhao Lei, Xiang Chong, Mi Yang, Zhou Cang and others all opened their mouths slightly, and the shock in their eyes could not be concealed.

"Your Highness, come and introduce the usage of these siege equipment. With these big guys here, I can see that Xinye City can be broken today!"

Liu Chan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

What fights is equipment.

I use a second-generation weapon to fight your first-generation weapon, how can you be my opponent?
There is a generation difference.

Once the siege equipment is updated, I want to see how you Wenpin will defend the city?
"This thing is the lead vehicle, and it is used for digging tunnels."

Dig tunnels?
Guan Yu froze for a moment.

"Your Highness is going to attack with earth?"

There is no condition for water attack now. Xinye City is located on a high terrain, and in recent days, the water force has decreased, so there is no condition for water attack.

It is good luck to encounter such a strategy of using the right time and place once, and it is really impossible to encounter it every day.

"The head car is divided into three parts: "screen board", "head car" and "xu shed". The screen board is at the front end of the train, and the front and sides of the car are protected. Exit. Under the concern of the enemy's situation, the screen board and the leading car are next to each other, providing good protection for the siege soldiers.

When the tunnel is nearly dug, the siege troops will gather in the vehicle. After the tunnel is dug through, the screen board will be quickly pushed away, and the troops can file out of the vehicle to attack.

As for the lead car in the middle section."

Liu Chan slowly introduced the structure and purpose of this car. After listening, Guan Yu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help nodding.

"It is indeed a siege weapon."

Guan Yu pointed to the big guy with a height of four or five feet, and asked, "What is this thing? It's so huge?"

Liu Chan followed the direction of Guan Yu's finger and saw the siege equipment he was talking about.

"This is the female wall!"

The so-called Xingnv Wall is a modified version of the ladder.

When attacking a city, in order to reduce casualties, we must start from several aspects: First, shorten the time from the start of the attack to reaching the city wall.

This row of female walls is called a ladder or a wall, but it is better to say that it is a chariot as high as the opponent's city wall.

For example, the parapet wall built by Liu Chan has a parapet wall at the top of the ladder, which can provide simple protection when climbing the city wall and reaching the top to meet with the defending troops. Rawhide is added to the car body as protection for the occupants, which can Minimize the loss of the crew before the siege.

Guan Yu's interest came, and he went directly to operate the female wall chariot. After some experience, he felt even more satisfied.

"With this thing, you don't have to worry about getting out of Xinye City."

In the past, the soldiers rushed up carrying the ladder one by one, arrows rained down on the city wall, and rocks flew everywhere. Before the ladder was placed on the city wall of Xinye City, more than half of them fell down.

Huge casualties are often caused when they rush to the city wall.

But if there is this walking girl's wall now, the soldiers are directly in the car, and the arrows from the city cannot be shot in, and our soldiers will save the time of rushing to the Xinye city wall, and even save the time of climbing the city wall.

After coming and going, most of the benefits of defending the city have gone!
"Quickly introduce other siege tools to me!"

Guan Yu was already interested.

Wooden ox cart, pointed wooden donkey, dust cart
Liu Chan explained in detail on the side, each of which has its own purpose, so that all the generals in the field are feasting their eyes.

"Whoo~"

Guan Yunchang took a deep breath, and he said: "Good things, good things, if we attack the city in the future, we will have such tools, no matter how strong the city is, I, Guan Yunchang, have the confidence to be able to attack it!"

Guan Yu looked at Liu Chan with a burning gaze, and said, "Your Highness, without delay, quickly make these siege equipment. Once the siege equipment arrives, it's time to break through Xinye City!"

"It's just that it's not easy to make these siege equipment. It needs to cut down a huge amount of trees and cowhide pig iron."

Difficulties?
Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "If you have any difficulties, I will solve them for you. Where is the food and fodder officer?"

Zhao Lei hurriedly stepped forward to obey.

"No matter what your Highness needs, you have to satisfy His Highness. If you don't have enough wood, you will send people to cut down all the trees in the nearby forests. If the cowhide and pig iron are not enough, you will transport them to Jiangling! In short, you will take care of all your highness' difficulties To solve it for him!"

Zhao Lei gave a wry smile, but he had no choice but to salute and accept the order.

"The subordinates must go all out!"

Guan Yu nodded lightly, he was still very relieved about Zhao Lei.

"From today onwards, you will mobilize my entire army, how about it? How much time will it take to build enough siege equipment?"

Liu Chan estimated in his heart and said, "Ten days will be enough."

Ten days
Guan Yu frowned slightly.

Ten days was too long for him.

"Can't you cut down on the time?"

In ten days, Wei Guo's second wave of reinforcements will also arrive.

If Wei's reinforcements arrive in Xinye and Wenpin is like a fish in water, then Xinye will be even more difficult to capture.

Liu Chan naturally knew what Guan Yu was thinking.

He thought for a while and said, "At least five days."

Seeing the somewhat dissatisfied expression on the cheap father-in-law's face, Liu Chan could only smile wryly and said: "The fifth day is already the fastest. Although these big guys are good at attacking the city, it is not easy to create them. In this five-day period, we had to build by attacking the border, and the soldiers and craftsmen had to work day and night, so that we could manufacture the necessary siege equipment within five days."

Five days to build siege equipment used by tens of thousands of troops?

Donkeys in the production team are not used in this way!

Guan Yu also knew that manpower was sometimes poor, so he nodded.

"Five days to five days, even if the Wei army really came, and Ping'er was sitting in Wancheng, the Wei army would not dare to enter Xinye for a while."

Guan Ping rushed to Wancheng, he took advantage of the night and took the trail to finish Wancheng, and Wenpin in Xinye didn't notice it at all.

Even if it is discovered, there is nothing that can be done.

He has only a few soldiers under his command, and he dare not go out of the city to fight in the field.

I had no choice but to make a nail and cut off Guan Ping's food supply.

Can't beat your army, can't disturb your grain road?
It's General Wei who came with his troops, but he has the guts to rush forward?
In the previous few defeats, Guan Yu guessed in his heart that General Wei would not dare to rush forward easily.

Shinno
Logically speaking, his Shu army still has a month or two to attack.

The premise is: as long as Wancheng is not lost!

With the order of the military, tens of thousands of Shu troops immediately moved.

Those who fell trees, chopped wood, assembled siege equipment, and dug tunnels.
Although they were not attacking Xinye, the Shu army was no more busy than when they were attacking the city.

Xinye City.

On the tower of the main city, Wen Pin, who was wearing armor, frowned, as if there was an indelible worry in his heart.

"Father, the Shu army has really retreated. In the past three days, he left thousands of corpses under Xinye City, and he will not dare to attack again. Under Father's insistence, Xinye City has finally been defended. Now, as long as Wait for the king's reinforcements to arrive, and everything will be fine!" The young general Wen Dai, the son of Wenpin, showed no fear on his face.

As long as the king's reinforcements arrive, everything will be fine!

Wenpin was not so optimistic.

"I think that the Shu army didn't attack. It wasn't because they gave up attacking Xinye, but because they had other plans. In the past few days, they had to guard against Yunchang to dig tunnels. In addition, Xingye sent messengers to Xudu. After more than a month, he was afraid that the reinforcements would be destroyed. will be there."

keep a month
He still has confidence in Wenpin!
But after a month, he Wenpin couldn't guarantee anything.

He was not in the Ruokou River that day. When he learned that Guan Yunchang had flooded the Seventh Army in the Ruokou River, he immediately led his troops and horses to garrison Xinye, and began to build fortifications and siege tools in the city as quickly as possible.

现在
Everything he had prepared in advance had already been used.

But at the beginning of the preparation, after all, it was hasty, after more than a month, it was already reluctant, and if it took longer, it would be impossible.

In fact, when Ye Guanping led 3000 people to Wancheng, he knew about it.

He didn't send troops to stop him. First, he didn't have enough soldiers. Second, Xinye was also very important. Guan Yunchang would not be able to go to Wancheng if Xinye was guarded. Even if the Shu army attacked by force, it may not be able to defeat it.

It's a pity that he didn't consider the existence of internal response.

otherwise
At the beginning, he should have sent troops to intercept Guan Ping, and then retreated to Wancheng.

The city of Wancheng is strong and thick, and it is more defensive than Xinye.

If he is confident that he can hold on to Xinye Yue for more than a year, and if he is given Wancheng, he can hold on for a year!
"Father, don't worry, the city has already dug a crypt. If the Shu army dares to dig a tunnel to come over, they must use fire to make them feel better!"

Naturally, there are ways to deal with digging tunnels.

First of all, find the main road in the city, dig a well-like "crypt" two feet deep on the road, and then cover the mouth of the well with seamless pottery urns. Authentic directions.

Don't be afraid to find that the enemy has dug a tunnel. Just find the tunnel, dig a "shaft" deep down, and throw some burning firewood and wet grass into the well, so that the enemy who dug the tunnel can be fumigated.

"Demolish all the usable objects in the city, and requisition the people in the city, regardless of age, and those who disobey the law will be killed without mercy!"

In the houses in the city, the beams of the houses can be used as rolling logs, the bricks and tiles can be used as chaotic rocks, and the people in the city can be used as laborers.

"Steady the city, if there is any sign of chaos, immediately extinguish it!"

Wen Dai nodded slightly and said, "Father, don't worry, everything in the city is safe and sound!"

There is still enough food and grass in the city for a month.

But if there are only ten days left of food and grass, the people in the city will not be able to keep it.

It's a pity that the weather is extremely hot, otherwise it can last longer if it is made into jerky.

Wenpin's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly, hoping that the situation would not reach that level!

Taking the people as food and grass, Wenpin doesn't want to do it either!

They are all from Nanyang folks, he must not be cornered, how could he do this?

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

In front of Xinye City, rows of Jingzhou soldiers were ready to attack the city.

Compared with the siege of the city five days ago, there are many more big guys in the Jingzhou army formation.

Chong carts, rolling carts, wooden ox carts, pointed wooden donkeys, walking parapets, and dust-raising carts.

Rows of big guys several feet high stood in front of the formation, and the sense of oppression made the Xinye defenders in the city uncontrollably fearful.

"Why is there thick smoke rising from the southeast?"

On Xinye City, Wei Jun looked to the southeast as puffs of thick smoke rose, blown by the wind, and rushed straight towards Xinye City.

"This is a trick of the Shu army. All the soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths to prevent the smoke from being poisonous."

Wenpin frowned, and hurriedly ordered to leave.

On the mound one or two miles southeast of Xinye City, Liu Chan ordered people to walk in smoke.

The so-called smoke is to prepare about [-] bundles of flammable hay and firewood, and then go to the upwind of the city, center the hay to make it flammable, and place wet grass around it to make it smoke.

Because of the moisture, the forage will emit thick smoke, which can smoke the defenders on the city.

It just so happens that the wind has been neither too strong nor too weak these days, just enough to fume the Wei generals in the city.

It's a pity that there is no poisonous smoke, otherwise there would be no need for manpower to attack, and Xinye City can be taken down.

But if it is poisonous smoke, it is a biochemical attack, chemical warfare.

Even if Liu Chan has the ability to do it, given the current situation of the Shu army, there is still no need to do so absolutely.

Another water attack, another thick smoke, this is really too hurtful.

Besides, this poisonous smoke is an indiscriminate attack.

It would be ridiculous if the wind direction changed and the poisonous smoke blew into our army formation.

"With thick smoke, we can attack the city!"

It can be said that Liu Chan has used all his knowledge related to siege.

Advanced siege equipment, smoke before the war, and dig tunnels during the war.

Liu Chan's personal guards were ordered to ignite the signal flare.

There was only a bang, and the signal bomb exploded in the air.

With one cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other; with two loyal and courageous soldiers, mountains of swords and seas of fire bring life to life.

As soon as the signal flare was fired, Zhou Cang, who was the first to board, got the order, and the messenger even waved the flag in his hand.

bang bang bang~
The drums are loud, and the army is attacking the city again!

"Soldiers, don't panic. I see that the siege equipment of the Shu army is nothing more than chickens, tiles and dog ears. No matter how powerful they are, they are nothing more than wood. Prepare fire oil rockets and destroy those siege equipment first!"

Those siege tools are three or four feet high, and they can jump into the city wall from above.

It's okay for one or two tanks to get close, but if all the tanks are leaning against the wall, the advantage of defending the city will disappear.

The defenders of Xinye City took orders and went to prepare kerosene rockets one after another.

It's just that the thick smoke billowed in, making people unable to open their eyes.

Even if it was opened, the tears could not stop flowing.

"Cough cough cough~"

"Cough cough cough~"

"Cough cough cough~"

On the city wall, there was constant coughing. In this state, how could they face the Jingzhou soldiers attacking the city?

"Which expert came up with this trick? It's too dark!"

Wen Dai wants to scold her now.

The thick smoke billowed in, but it happened to be floating in the air, and the Shu army attacking the city was not too affected.

So fucked up!

When Wei Jun in Xinye City was being tortured, he was still [-] meters away from the Xinye City Wall, and the tall dust truck started to work.

The main purpose of the design of the dust truck is to drive away the enemy defenders. Its purpose is somewhat similar to Liu Chan's chemical warfare in smoke just now.

But the purpose of flying dust is not to kill the enemy, but to spread lime to prevent the enemy from opening their mouths and eyes. The siege troops use this to swarm up when the defending troops leave their defensive positions.

Twenty or thirty dust trucks are used at the same time. At this time, the wind direction is suitable and the dust trucks are located at the upper air outlet.

Huhuhu~
The thick lime smoke greeted Wei Jun on the city wall.

With the double attack of thick smoke and lime, no matter how tough a man is, he would never dare to open his eyes at this moment.

When you open your eyes at this moment, you must be mentally prepared to be blind!
Whoosh whoosh~
A few weak ignited arrows came, but they were crooked, and they couldn't hit the dust truck at all. Even if they hit, as long as there were not many, the soldiers in the truck could extinguish the fire brought by the rockets.

Lululu~
Although the speed of the siege engine is slow, the pace of advancement is very steady.

The Xinye defenders on the city wall were blinded by thick smoke and lime, how to defend?
"Pour oil on the city wall and ignite it."

There is no other way, now we can only pour kerosene on the city wall and ignite it, hoping to slow down the attack of Jingzhou soldiers.

You thick smoke, there will always be time to dissipate!
Boom~
The kerosene was poured on the city wall, instantly igniting the entire city wall, and the flames danced. The scorching temperature made the siege chariots of the Shu army dare not approach for a while.

Zhou Cang, who was in the parapet wall, gritted his teeth, and immediately ran from the parapet wall into the rush car beside him.

"Break open the city gate!"

Since it is impossible to attack the city wall of Xinye for a while, then first use the rush car to smash the city gate open.

boom!
The car crashed into Xinye city gate, making a deafening sound, but the thick city gate showed no signs of damage.

boom!
Hit again.

The gate of Xinye City was twisted backwards, but there seemed to be some people in the city against the city wall, and for a while, the gate returned to its original shape.

bang~
bang~
boom!
With the impact again and again, the city wall of Xinye was already overwhelmed.

Just for this matter, the kerosene on the Xinye city wall was almost burned.

Zhou Cang ran from the car into the female wall again.

"Rush to the city wall for me and win Xinye!"

Before he issued a military order to destroy the city in three days, but Xinye City still stood where it was, how could he bear it?

Now with the assistance of His Highness's siege equipment, if he still can't conquer Xinye, then Zhou Cang is not worthy of living.

I'd rather die!

Thick smoke billowed from the walls of the city, and the dust trucks kicked up the limestone, so that the sky was blocked out, and the guards of the city couldn't open their eyes.

After the female walls leaned against the city wall one by one, the dust truck stopped lifting lime.

While the defenders on the city couldn't open their eyes, the number of Shu troops on the Xinye City Wall in the Walking Girl's Wall was already more than two hundred.

puff puff~
The killing is going on!
The Jingzhou soldiers who rushed up the city wall even defended the outpost.

In the female wall behind, a steady stream of Jingzhou soldiers climbed up the city.

Exactly at this time.

boom!
After dozens of collisions with vehicles, the solid Xinye City Gate was finally breached.

"The city is broken, the city is broken!"

"Go! Kill!"

"Catch the civil servant alive and reward him with a thousand gold!"

Jingzhou soldiers rushed into the city like a tide.

Wenpin was completely unaware of the situation in the thick smoke.

But listening to Jingzhou soldiers shouting excitedly, his state of mind has already sunk to the bottom.

Is it
Xinye is about to be captured by the Shu army?
