Beast King Three Kingdoms

Surprisingly, often can achieve miraculous results, Yuan Shu is like this this time.

After a round of attack, Liu Jun suffered heavy losses. Most of the soldiers on the top of the city were killed or injured, and corpses and boulders were piled up like a mountain. Even cleaning it would take a lot of effort.

Yuan Shu nodded in satisfaction. Just now, he ordered the catapult to attack again on a temporary basis. Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

"My lord! It's useless to fight again, we'd better withdraw our troops." Feng Ji said.

"Yeah!" The catapult bombarded just now and won a complete victory, and Yuan Shu was also satisfied.

"Return to camp!" Yuan Shu ordered.

So, the army set out and looked towards the camp.

After returning to the camp and setting up the army, Yuan Shu summoned all the civil and military personnel to discuss the matter.

First of all, Yuan Shu praised Dian Wei and others for their arrival, and then said: "You go down and rest, build up your strength, and tomorrow you will lead an army and take turns to attack the city. Don't forget, you must break the city within three days. "

"No!" The generals responded loudly.

After the generals had left, Yuan Shu asked several counselors, "Although a three-day period has been set, I really don't know whether I can break through the city. What do you mean?"

Feng Ji frowned and said, "Three days may be a bit short."

Lu Su also echoed: "Liu Yao insisted on holding on, even the city gate was blocked. It is not easy to break the city."

Yuan Shu remained silent, looking at Xun You and Jia Xu, wanting to know what they were thinking.

Xun You thought for a while, then turned to Jia Xu, and asked, "How is the situation in the city now, dare you ask Wen He to tell me in detail."

Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. This is the ultimate principle of military strategists. Without knowing the specific situation in the city, Xun You dare not make a judgment.

Knowing what Xun You meant, Jia Xu gathered his thoughts and said, "There were originally 2 soldiers in the city, and after several months of fighting, nearly [-] were lost. Today's battle has not yet been counted, and the specifics cannot be known, but judging from the battle situation, The casualties must have been heavy, and there are probably more than [-] soldiers and horses left in the city, less than [-]."

In fact, Jia Xu is still relatively small. In today's battle alone, Liu Jun lost nearly [-] yuan. After all, Yuan Jun almost broke into the city, which is evident in the tragic situation of the battle.

At the beginning, when Yuan Jun first arrived in Yuzhang City, Liu Yao overwhelmed himself and ordered Fan Neng to fight. He lost [-] soldiers and horses at one time.

Afterwards, Yuan Jun attacked with a catapult every day. Although Liu Jun had a way to deal with it, there were always some unlucky ones who were unfortunately hit by boulders.

After a few months, Liu Jun lost thousands of soldiers and horses.

Including today's casualties, Liu Jun's strength is now only a little over [-].

After hearing this, Xun You weighed it in his heart, and said, "If you attack the city regardless of the cost, you can indeed take Yuzhang City within three days."

The implication is that Yuan Jun himself will suffer heavy losses, and the phrase 'regardless of the cost' has already indicated everything.

Yuan Shu also heard it, and said, "What is the price?"

Xun You said seriously: "At least five thousand, at most tens of thousands."

In other words, the cost of storming and breaking the city would be at least five thousand soldiers and horses, and at most tens of thousands.

Yuan Shu frowned, hesitating in his heart.

This is the life of 1 people!Although Yuan Shu has turned into a generation of heroes, even if he is indifferent and ruthless, he can't completely ignore the lives of thousands of people.

Moreover, since the war so far, Yuan Jun has also suffered a lot of casualties, but compared with Liu Jun, it is a bit insignificant.

The loss was less than [-] people. I am afraid no one will believe it. It is a miracle that the siege party can do this!This is all due to the catapult. If there is no catapult and the city is attacked with flesh and blood, the casualties may not be much better than Liu Jun.

At the same time, Yuan Shu deliberately avoided the siege battle, which was also an important reason for reducing casualties.

"Forcibly attacking the city may not be without strategies, attacking east and west, or digging tunnels, flooding, and attacking with fire..."

Having said this, Yuan Shu stopped abruptly, and murmured: "Fire attack!"

Everyone heard Yuan Shu's words clearly.

Lu Su was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My lord, no! What I want is Yuzhang City, not a ruin."

Xun You and Feng Ji nodded repeatedly. They also disagreed with using fire to attack. Firstly, it would damage the city, and secondly, it might lose popular support. It was a big blow to Yuan Shu's reputation.

On the contrary, Jia Xu, with a pensive look on his face, seemed a little moved.

Yuan Shu was hesitant. He had thought about using a catapult to launch fire bombs to attack the city, but as Lu Su said, what he wanted was not a ruin, so he gave up.

But now Yuan Shu is racing against time, if he can't take Yuzhang City before the Jingzhou reinforcements arrive, he will face even greater difficulties in the future.

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." Yuan Shu said seriously.

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that Yuan Shu was really planning to use fire to attack.

Lu Su wanted to persuade him again, but Xun You and the others were all silent, and the words on their lips were suppressed immediately.

Xun You and Feng Ji knew Yuan Shu very well. Although Yuan Shu was able to follow good advice and listen to advice, when he really made a decision on something, he would judge the world arbitrarily and ignore other people's opinions.

This point became more prominent after Yuan Shu's transformation.

As for Jia Xu, he agreed with Yuan Shu's strategy of attacking with fire. In his opinion, breaking the city is the most important task right now, and it will not be too late to make amends after winning the city.

"How about the specifics? What's your plan?" Yuan Shu asked.

Feng Ji said: "My lord, you can use the catapult to launch fire bombs first, and when there is chaos in the city, then order the army to attack the city, and you will surely win a big victory."

"Yeah!" Yuan Shu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Yuan Tu will arrange this matter, ordering the army to prepare fire bombs, which will be used when attacking the city tomorrow."

"No!" Feng Ji replied.

Yuan Shu turned to Jia Xu again, and said, "Wenhe must take care of the affairs in the city."

"Xu understands!" Jia Xu said.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed and prepared for tomorrow's battle.

……

Under the night, at the west gate of Yuzhang City, the soldiers on the top of the city were drowsy.

The battle at the east gate was turned upside down, but it had nothing to do with Ximen. These soldiers could sleep peacefully.

Suddenly, the sound of horse's hooves came.

Hearing this, the soldiers at the outpost cheered up and looked intently.

In the distance, a galloping horse came.

Seeing that there was only one person, the sentry immediately felt relieved and shouted, "Who is here?"

"I am the messenger under the command of General Cai Mao of Jingzhou. I have something important to convey, so I will open the city quickly."

After hearing this, the sentinel hurriedly conveyed the matter to the captain on duty at night.

The school captain hurriedly ordered people to open the city and let people into the city.

After entering the city, he questioned him carefully, and then he separated a sergeant and took him to see Liu Yao.

At that moment, the sergeant led the messenger and galloped towards the city.

When he arrived at the residential area, he saw a few drunk men staggering over in front of him.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly reined in their horses.

The leading sergeant frowned and shouted, "Get out of the way!"

One person said with a mouthful of alcohol, "Why? This road belongs to your family?"

With outsiders around, the sergeant felt that he had lost face and was furious.

"Looking for death!" He flicked his hand and whipped it.

slap!

The drunk man was directly knocked to the ground.

"Okay! How dare you hit me, I won't let you go today!" The drunk said, then lay down on the road.

Several other people also booed one after another.

The sergeant's face was flushed, especially when he saw Cai Hao couldn't help snickering, he felt even more ashamed.

"You rascal, I'll make you look good today!" The sergeant got off his horse and walked towards the drunk man with a fierce look on his face, ready to teach him a lesson.

When he came to the drunk man, the sergeant bent down and lifted him up.

At this moment, there was a flash of cold light, and suddenly a dagger appeared in the drunk man's hand.

Chi!

"Ugh!" The sergeant stared at the drunk with wide eyes, but the drunk looked at him with a half-smile.

Startled, the sergeant seemed to have guessed something and opened his mouth to speak.

"Hit me!" The drunk man covered the sergeant's mouth with his hand, provocatively, and glanced at the messenger immediately from the corner of his eye.

The messenger was a little impatient and shouted: "Hurry up!"

Suddenly, a person next to him suddenly got into trouble, violently threw the messenger off his horse.

"Woooo!" The messenger wanted to call for help, but unfortunately his mouth was covered and he could only make a 'woooo' sound.

This person covered the messenger's mouth with one hand, stretched his other hand behind his head, clamped it with both hands, and twisted it hard.

Ka!

With a crisp sound, Cai Mao's messenger died on the spot.

"Sweep the tail!" The drunk man pushed the dead sergeant away in front of him and shouted in a low voice.

Several people carried the two corpses onto the horse's back, cleaned the traces on the ground, and pulled the horse into the darkness, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the air.
