Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 50 Meng Gong's Strategy

In Yecheng State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Wu sat in the hall, watching the battle situation sent from all sides, frowned and sighed.

Glancing at Ling Jushou of Yecheng, Han Wu said, "Gongyu, what do you think about Yuan Shao's attack on Qinghe?"

Hearing Han Wu's question, Ju Shou pondered for two seconds: "Return to my son, Jizhou is powerful in the north now, and my lord and your son are sitting on Ji and the two prefectures."

"Moreover, both the lord and the son are more inclined to hide their strengths and bide their time, recuperate and recuperate, so this has touched the bottom line of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao controls the Son of Heaven, that is to say, fame and prestige, and his development will be very fast."

"Qingzhou is barren, but Yuan Shao is a famous family after all, and his development speed will not be slow."

"But even if they unite now, they are not Jizhou's opponents."

"Therefore, Yuan Shao must create pressure on Jizhou. I believe that those who mobilize troops may not know Yuan Shao."

"Cao Cao controls the emperor, so naturally he will not mobilize troops, but he can provide Yuan Shao with the capital to mobilize troops."

Ju Shou frowned, he was actually a little dissatisfied with the current situation of Jizhou, because the son did not bring the little emperor back.

Although the Han Dynasty declined, the little emperor was orthodox in the Han Dynasty after all, and his reputation would be very useful.

Han Wu nodded lightly, and said, "Don't worry about Gongsun Zan, General Qu Yi is enough to deal with him."

"Even if he can't completely defeat Gongsun Zan, it's still more than enough to protect the northern part of Jizhou."

"General Meng Gong guards Qinghe, and Yuan Shao's attack on Qinghe is beyond his control, so don't worry about it."

"Now that General Yuwen has also controlled Bingzhou, the current Jizhou is very stable, and the only big problem is Montenegro."

Han Wu nodded slightly, he understood Jushou's meaning, this guy was dissatisfied with himself for not bringing back the little emperor.

Therefore, Han Wu hurriedly changed the subject and did not discuss Cao Cao.

The current situation in the world has formed a stalemate, except for Xishu, which is still very calm.

However, although there is no war in the Western Shu Hanzhong, it is still in a state of stalemate.

Han Wu said: "Now Yuan Shu has started to resort to military force. He must be in a hurry if he can't defeat Sun Jian."

"Liu Biao is old. Originally he wanted to help Yuan Shu, but gradually he couldn't do what he wanted, and he couldn't do enough to send troops."

"Sooner or later, the Jiangdong area will be ruled by the tiger Sun Jian, but it will be difficult for him to fight it out!"

Han Wu is in charge of the overall situation. He thinks the current situation is very good, completely stalemate.

Restrict all the princes, so that Jizhou can develop rapidly and don't waste money because of the mobilization of troops.

As the saying goes, guns are always worth ten thousand taels of gold.Although the cold weapon era will not cost so much, it is almost the same.

In Gaotang City in Qinghe County, Meng Gong was dressed in military uniform, quietly looking at the surrounding topographic map.

"Ji Gui, go and tell the generals defending the city to start building the city wall according to my previous instructions."

After saying something to the scribes beside him, Meng Gong smiled.

The scribes standing beside Meng Gong were talents recruited by himself.

People from aristocratic families have strategies in mind.

This person's name is Cui Yan, style name Jigui, from Dongwucheng County, Qinghe County, Jizhou Province, and studied under the great Confucian Zheng Xuan.

Moreover, this person is also good at martial arts, and he liked fencing when he was young.

Although he is not considered a military general, he is also a Confucian general.

Although Meng Gong himself is good in force, he yearns to become a Confucian general, so he values ​​other literati generals more.

"General, this time Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou at the same time. These are two of his generals. Let's..."

Cui Yan still doesn't know Meng Gong's ability to defend the city. He thinks that in the face of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he should avoid his edge.

But Meng Gong didn't think so. He had absolute confidence in his ability to defend the city, so he came to Gaotang to defend the city in person.

"Don't worry, Ji Gui."

"Just do what I say, and try to complete my plan within a day."

Meng Gong smiled confidently, and waved to Cui Yan, telling him to hurry up and prepare for the city defense.

In the early morning of the next day, outside Gaotang City, Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally led troops to attack Gaotang City.

"Wait! Brother, why do I feel a little strange, why does it feel that this Gaotang City is a little higher than when it was attacked last time?"

Yan Liang saw the walls of Gaotang City from a distance, he swallowed suddenly and said something.

After Wen Chou heard Yan Liang's words, he snorted softly, obviously disdainful of Gao Tangcheng.

"It's just a tall Tang city, can it still grow taller?"

"Last time, the purpose of the lord was to feint to attack Gaotang, so the troops given to you were insufficient, and you failed to take it down."

"This time we brothers attack Qinghe together, I don't believe that Meng Gong can still hold it!"

Wen Chou laughed, raised his spear, and roared loudly.

"Brothers, take down Gaotang City, and everything inside will be yours!"

Hearing Wen Chou's order, Qingzhou vanguard soldiers shouted one after another, and they immediately charged towards Gaotang City.

There didn't seem to be many guards on Gaotang City, and Meng Gong's head was only poking out from the city wall.

The Qingzhou Army launched a charge, and the shouts were loud. The charge of a thousand pioneers should not be underestimated.

"Brothers, conquer Gaotang City, let's go!"

"Charge! I want the girl inside, hahaha!"

"I want money! The aristocratic families inside, let's grab them all."

The Qingzhou army is almost all the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Although they surrendered to Yuan Shao, they did not change their rage.

Especially these 1000 people, almost all of them were Qingzhou Yellow Turban surrenders, and they were young and strong.

On the city wall, Meng Gong's head dived down, and at the same time waved to the generals defending the city.

"Archer, get ready!"

When the general guarding the city saw General Meng Gong beckoning to him, he immediately picked up the small flag and waved it.

The archers defending the city prepared their arrow feathers. They stepped onto the big stone on the edge of the city wall and prepared to shoot arrows.

The city wall of Gaotang was reinforced to a height of more than one meter by the guards in one day with gravel and boulders.

This is Meng Gong's plan.

He wants to heighten the city wall of Gaotang and increase the defense of the city wall.

The archers had their rockets ready, and their arrows were all oil-cotton, and shot straight out.

The rocket shot at a position 50 meters in front of Gaotang City, and the Qingzhou Army who had just charged here suddenly howled!
The withered grass on the ground was completely burned, and black oil had been arranged on it in advance.

A sea of ​​flames ten meters wide appeared below the city wall!

Nearly a hundred Qingzhou soldiers who charged forward were directly burned.

The burning Qingzhou soldiers fled in chaos, and the vanguard army was in a mess for a while and retreated one after another.

Seeing this scene, Wen Chou smiled and nodded slightly.

Meng Gong's ability to defend the city has spread throughout Qingzhou, and all generals know that he is invincible in defending the city.

But Wen Chou was already prepared.

He didn't let the elite under his command go into battle directly, but let the Qingzhou Yellow Turban charge.

These soldiers are difficult to discipline, and it would be best to let them test Meng Gong's strategy.

"Hurry up, write down all of these, even how far the flames burn in front of the city, you must record clearly!"

"I don't believe it anymore. If I can't take you down once, Meng Gong, then I will write down your strategy."

Wen Chou squinted his eyes, and he immediately waved his hand to ask the lieutenant to recall the vanguard while waiting for the fire to subside.

With just a face-to-face meeting, Meng Gong eliminated hundreds of enemy troops, and the morale of the soldiers defending the city suddenly increased.

Yan Liang was also shocked. He usually likes to charge forward to attack the city.

But against Meng Gong, he really didn't dare to do that.

"Everyone waits for the fire to recede before attacking Gaotang. Let's take a break now!"

Wen Chou immediately ordered the vanguard to rest while waiting for the fire to subside.

In less than half an hour, the fire completely receded, and Wen Chou narrowed his eyes again.

"Pioneer, attack the city again!"

Wen Chou raised his gun to give an order, and the vanguard immediately charged.

It's just that the charge this time is still out of order.

The lineup for the charge was chaotic, it was completely the formation of the Yellow Turban Army charging indiscriminately.

Meng Gong stood on the tower and sighed faintly. He thought he had encountered a little trouble this time.

If the opponent doesn't use elite soldiers to attack the city, then he can't use all his strategies.

These strategies for defending the city were reserved for Wen Chou's elite soldiers, and Meng Gong didn't want to expose them prematurely.

The Qingzhou vanguard launched a charge, and they rushed directly to the city and stopped at the same time.

A moat suddenly appeared in front of it, which was completely invisible from a distance just now.

The small mound in front of the moat completely blocked the narrow moat, but the river was a bit strange.

Some reckless soldiers of the Qingzhou Pioneer Army rushed down the river, preparing to walk across the moat.

The moat was not deep, and it reached everyone's waist, but the Qingzhou Pioneer who had just fought suddenly wailed.

The water in the moat is scalding hot. This looks like a stagnant moat, or a ditch just dug in two days!
The river water seemed to be boiled by the flame just now, and the temperature has not completely receded yet.

The vanguards of the Qingzhou Army stopped one after another, and they dared not jump directly into the river again.

"Quick retreat! This river is weird!"

"Run! The enemies above are about to shoot arrows!"

A more intelligent vanguard immediately shouted and fled backward desperately.

With such a short distance, as long as the generals defending the city enter the room, they will surely die.

Every Qingzhou pioneer realized this, and quickly threw away their weapons and fled.

The moat ahead is hot and cannot be crossed, so these pioneers standing here can only be living targets.

Wen Chou saw from a distance that the vanguard army on the edge of the city wall stopped and retreated quickly. He was immediately very curious.

From Wen Chou's point of view, the newly dug moat ditches could not be seen at all, because the small mound completely blocked it.

On the tower, Meng Gong smiled slightly and said, "Archers, prepare to release arrows."

The tone was quite calm, it seemed that Meng Gong had already guessed this scene, and the archer had already made preparations.

Arrows rained down from the city tower, and the Qingzhou Pioneer Army was shot into hedgehogs, and the others fled.

The soldiers carrying the ladder also gave up the ladder and fled. They didn't want to die here.

Seeing this scene, Wen Chou felt even more strange why the vanguard did not attack the city.

"Brother, there should be a moat over there, and the mound blocks our sight! The vanguard army is useless, let's withdraw!"

Yan Liang sighed faintly, he had already convinced Meng Gong, so he persuaded Wen Chou to withdraw his troops.

Wen Chou gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and shouted: "The whole army retreats!"

Unwilling, Wen Chou was quite unwilling, but he admired Meng Gong's ability to defend the city, and he had endless schemes.
