Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3428: Your Majesty, Your Majesty

Tongguan.

Things will turn around in less than thirty years.

Now Cao's camp in turn has to withstand the attack of the Hussars.

"Smash!" Smash it! 』

Liu Fu stood on a high platform near the river, pointed at the Guanzhong Tower Boat in the river, and shouted heartbreakingly.

After Cao Jun's pontoon bridge was burned, he quickly repaired and laid a new pontoon bridge.

Although the pontoon bridge has been re-paved, the damaged wooden boards or nails cannot be turned into raw materials again.

The recycling technology in the Han Dynasty was not that high, and Cao's army's reserve supplies were not unlimited. Therefore, if the pontoon bridge was destroyed by the Hussars again this time, Cao's army in Zhongtiao Mountain would only have to take the ferry.

The efficiency is low, the speed is slow, and it is more vulnerable to threats and attacks from the navy in the Pass.

Even if the Guanzhong Navy only has a few ships...

"Pfft!" 』

The stone bullet hit the river, causing a big splash, which seemed to give Liu Fu a smile, but made Liu Fu's face darker.

Punishment is of no use.

Because with the withdrawal of Cao's army, the population has decreased, and the total number of laborers has also continued to decline, so punishment methods have become increasingly ineffective...

So I can only start coaxing.

Liu Fu asked people to put a lot of coins in a large frame and place them in the catapult position. As long as the ship of the Hussars was hit once, the money would be distributed on the spot!

When the shining gold and silver coins rolled around on the ground, the surviving civilians couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

All the previous grievances and deaths, blood and sorrow seemed to have become the past that could be forgotten. Only the golden and white glittering greed in front of us aroused people's hearts.

Do people always have to look forward...

"boom! 』

I don't know if it was the stimulation of money that could make the devil push the devil, or just luck, but finally a stone bullet hit the Hussars' ship, and a small crack was made on the side of the ship. come out.

The ship suddenly tilted, and some of the hussars on the deck lost their balance and fell into the river.

The Hussars ships hurriedly went to salvage and rescue them, and the offensive on the water was temporarily hindered.

"good! good! Liu Fu laughed and said, "There's a prize!" Big prize! 』

Seeing someone really get the money, these people would not consider whether they could take the money back, but they felt itchy in their hearts, and the frequency of catapults attacking the building ships suddenly increased to a higher level.

Upon seeing this, Ma Jun received Pang Tong's order and ordered to evacuate to avoid further losses.

Liu Fugang was just about to express his feelings about his victory, but when he turned his head, he saw the front gate of the Tongguan Camp on land, crumbling under the attack of the Hussars, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"quick! quick! Change direction and support the front camp gate of Tongguan! 』

Liu Fu quickly shouted loudly, trying to turn the catapult to support Cao's soldiers at the front camp gate.

It's just that packing and unfolding a catapult, whether in the game or in reality, takes a lot of time. Moreover, in this era, the catapult chassis has not yet been developed. It cannot freely rotate the attack direction and must be dismantled. The original fixing nails need to be removed and the swing arm needs to be adjusted manually, and then the disassembly process must be reversed and installed again...

Not long after Liu Fu gave the order, many of the catapults had not yet removed their crane arms, and Cao Jun's front camp gate at Tongguan could no longer hold up.

Cao Jun originally burned the Tongguan Saka Road, and coupled with some traps and battle debris previously dug on the Tongguan Saka Road, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao spent a lot of time dealing with these things. There were no bulldozers in the Han Dynasty. Once civil engineering projects were involved, manpower and time had to be consumed.

Fortunately, Chang'an Sanfu accumulated a lot of experience in civil engineering during the reconstruction process, and also had many tools to repair the earth. So after a few days, the debris left by Cao Jun was gradually cleaned up, and the potholes were The traps were also filled back, and there was a passage through which the troops could be deployed to some extent.

After the hussars were deployed, the pressure on Cao Jun's Tongguan camp gradually increased.

Cao Zhang and Liu Fu originally agreed that even if the Hussars wanted to counterattack, it would be difficult to fight. It was extremely painful for Cao's army to attack the Linzhi Plains, and it would not be so easy for the Hussars to attack the Niutou Plains...

There is nothing wrong with this idea "in principle".

But that is Shandong's "principle".

In particular, the siege equipment lifted directly from Tongguan by crane from the upper city was a huge "shock" for Cao Jun's Tongguan camp.

The war can still be fought like this?

The Guanzhong Hussars did not use manpower to push Cao Jun's Tongguan Camp. Instead, they dispatched shield cars, crash cars, and even a spray train!

Although the sealing performance of the piston type is relatively average, the efficiency of the fire-breathing is far from keeping up with the rhythm of the attack. It often takes a long time for the craftsmen behind the shield of the fire-breathing train to spray out a pillar of fire. But this has already made Cao's soldiers terrified. Every time a pillar of fire spurts out, some of Cao's soldiers will have a nervous breakdown and flee the battle line crying.

At the same time, Zhu Ling was still trying to harass and attack on the flanks of Tuyuan, forcing Cao Jun to disperse his forces on Niutouyuan for patrolling and reconnaissance to ensure that Zhu Ling would not penetrate during the battle. Even so, in order to defend against the rockets launched from time to time by Zhu Ling, it made the grassroots soldiers of Cao's army nervous, but they were unable to fight back.

Cao Jun's Tongguan camp was built at the early stage of Cao Jun's attack. Countless manpower and material resources have been invested, and to some extent, the only difference is that the green bricks covering the surface are not in place, otherwise it is not much different from a small city wall.

However, such a defense system could not withstand the repeated ravages of various ordnances of the Hussars.

Especially the fire-breathing cabinet grill and the bombardment of crashing cars.

The front gate of Cao Jun's Tongguan camp finally let out a long groan and fell apart. I felt tired and tired.

"quick! quick! ” Cao Zhang had no choice but to order the directly subordinate Huben battalion to move forward, “block the hussars!” Block them! Don't let them attack! 』

"No! Don't go up! Just ignite it! ignition! 』

Liu Fu rushed over and stopped Cao Zhang's order to dispatch the Huben camp.

"Why?" ! ” Cao Zhang asked, he was a little confused at first.

Liu Fu quickly gave Cao Zhang a look.

Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and after a while he came to his senses and followed Liu Fu's order to have someone light the fire.

Cao Jun at the front camp gate received the order, and someone quickly took out the hidden kerosene cans, and then threw it away at the front camp gate. There were some remaining flames at the front camp gate, and they immediately threw it away. The shattered and splashing fire oil ignited, and the flames shot up into the sky almost instantly. The billowing smoke produced by the burning flesh, flesh and earth covered the entire front camp gate of Cao's army, and immediately destroyed both armies. Separate.

Upon seeing this, Pang Tong, who was above Tongguan, ordered his troops to retreat.

Although Cao Jun's move temporarily alleviated the risk of continued attack and gave him a chance to reorganize his queue and organize combat troops, it also meant that the defense system of the front camp gate was almost completely lost.

After the fire, only the broken walls of rammed earth will remain at the front camp gate, and everything that can be burned will be burned.

Ma Yue, who led the attack, was so angry that he cursed and turned around twice. He was unable to break through the flames and black smoke. He could only spit and retreat with his troops angrily.

When Pang Tong saw this, he smiled and said, "Haha, why is this worth getting angry about?" Today Cao Jun burns one gate, and tomorrow he sends another battalion. Today he retreats a hundred steps, and tomorrow he retreats one mile. Day after day, how much room is left for retreat? Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! 』

After hearing this, Ma Yue's anger dissipated slightly, and he bowed his hands towards Pang Tong and Zhang Liao, then went down to rest.

Zhang Liao was listening to Pang Tong's words, but his heart moved. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Your Majesty, what you said...meant..."

Pang Tong looked at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, isn't Cao's army bound to retreat?" 』

Zhang Liao said: "Your Majesty, I am telling Cao Jun to retreat..."

"It's natural to talk about retreating after retreating. Pang Tong waved his hand and said, "This matter has not yet been decided. It is too early to say this now." 』

After Zhang Liao heard this, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.

…

…

Tongguan Camp could also burn the camp gate to delay time, but in Wancheng, even if they wanted to delay, they couldn't find any good way. Pang Tong was the minister, so he was called Ling Jun. The Pang family also had an envoy, Pang Shanmin, the prefect of Wancheng.

Ever since Pang Shanmin left Wancheng, he felt that his title of "Envoy" was like a shame.

Every time others call him "envoy", he feels very sad.

Although he also knows that this is a polite name from others, and the big man is receiving it from afar, it is a false title, and it has nothing. What he recommends himself makes Jun Duoduo, and he is not a great person at all. It's a big thing, but Pang Shanmin still feels that his "envoy" is not worthy of his name.

So he's back.

After entering Guanzhong, Pang Shanmin communicated and broadened his horizons in Guanzhong. Now he not only hopes that he will always be an "envoy", but also can practice and complete his mission in the process of rebuilding Wancheng. What I saw and learned in Guanzhong became a true "envoy".

It's not just a title that is spoken verbally.

Wancheng will be his starting point again.

If he falls down here, he must get up here.

This time, Wancheng will still focus on commerce and trade, but the business ideas have changed, so naturally there will be some differences...

Just like in later generations, there are supermarkets everywhere, and they are all called supermarkets, but there is only one supermarket that can really be liked, trusted, and even become a tourist attraction. Commodities are still commodities, but the people who sell them have different ideas, which determines that the same product will have different results.

The routine is to persuade them to surrender first.

"Surrender and avoid death!" 』

The hussars were shouting below the city walls.

The Cao Jun defenders at the top of Wancheng turned pale.

"Don't be afraid of them!" If they dare to come up, they will beat me hard! "Wancheng's guard waved his sword, trying to boost morale, "Kill them back! There aren't many of them! We defend the city, they attack the city, we have the advantage! There is an advantage! 』

Pang Shanmin looked at the guard running back and forth on top of the city, shouting loudly, and turned his head slightly to look at the guard beside him, "Have you found the hidden tunnel entrance?" 』

The guard nodded and replied: "I found it... It's just that it hasn't been maintained for too long. A section in the middle has collapsed, and we are organizing manpower to excavate it." 』

"Collapse?" Pang Shanmin frowned slightly, "In which section?" 』

The guard drew a schematic diagram on the ground with his scabbard, "At the third corner of the tunnel, go forward more than ten steps..."

Pang Shanmin closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly there was a hint of anger on his face, "That's Pang's restaurant..."

To excavate a tunnel and avoid the eyes and ears of people, of course it is necessary to find some places that can be supported, transported, and even ventilated. Therefore, in Wancheng, Pang's shops and restaurants naturally become the best cover.

But no matter how well you cover it up, you can't escape the disaster.

Perhaps they were burned by Cao's army, or perhaps because they were afraid of being discovered, the people who stayed behind destroyed themselves.

"Send more manpower," Pang Shanmin said. "In addition, we need to put up more wooden beams. Places that have collapsed can easily collapse again...be careful..."

The guard took the order and went.

Pang Shanmin frowned and looked at the city head, then turned to Huang Zhong and said: "If the tunnel cannot be built, we can only use the waterway." 』

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter." I looked at the garrison in the city. Their faces looked hungry, their clothes and armor were incomplete, their robes were blown by the wind, and they were skinny. If they really couldn't walk both ways, it would not be difficult to attack the city directly. 』

Huang Zhong's words are not a lie. He leads the school swordsmen. Not only are they tough, but their weapons and armor are also exquisite. The most important thing is their strong skills.

When Huang Zhong was in Wancheng before, he was not like in history, running around seeking medical treatment for his children's illnesses. He had no interest in military affairs. When he got older, he was just a little captain who was just making a living. At present, Huang Zhong has no worries and is in the prime of life. Both his muscles and bones and energy are strong. If it were any other city, Huang Zhong would not say this, but this is Wancheng. Huang Zhong and his school swordsmen, up and down Wancheng, that place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, that place is easy to break through, and there are hidden soldiers there. The hole, that spot with the pegboard trap, was all well known.

If he really wanted to attack by force, Huang Zhong could easily find some loopholes in the defenders and then look for opportunities to board the city.

Pang Shanmin nodded.

If you can attack through the tunnel waterway left before, there is no need to attack by force.

However, Pang Shanmin still ordered his soldiers to go to the city to persuade them to surrender again.

In his heart, Pang Shanmin still hoped that there would be as few swords and guns as possible and as few casualties as possible.

When Huang Zhong saw this, he didn't say anything, but as a general, he knew that persuading surrender should be done, but if he wanted to persuade him to surrender successfully, he had to completely crush the enemy's last hope.

at night.

The guards, covered in mud, came to report that the tunnel had been opened.

Although the collapsed area is still very narrow, it can be accessed and people can reach the city directly.

After hearing this, Pang Shanmin did not immediately order an attack. Instead, he asked people to hold the receiver and slowly walked through the tunnel again to monitor whether there was an ambush by Cao's army along the way in the city. Especially at the exit, they asked people to check carefully.

The tunnel surprise attack is indeed very effective and will bloom directly in the enemy's belly. However, if the enemy discovers the tunnel exit in advance, then it will not be the enemy that blooms, but your own side!

However, Wancheng's defenders obviously did not respond in this regard...

After a while, the scout who went to investigate reported back and found nothing unusual.

Pang Shanmin nodded, and then said to Huang Zhong: "I will lead people in the west of the city to make noise and feign an attack to cover the general!" 』

Huang Zhong handed over his hand and led the people towards the south of the city.

After about an hour, the Pangshan people ordered to raise fire and beat drums, then formed a massive formation and began to attack.

The feint attack also looked like a feint attack. The shield car was pushed up, and the branches and leaves that were not completely removed were more likely to be burned by rockets, but the shielding effect for ordinary arrows was indeed first-rate.

Most of the soldiers of Cao's army who were guarding the city thought that Pangshan people would attack the city at dawn, but they did not expect to attack in the middle of the night. They were caught off guard for a moment. The arrows shot from the top of the city were blocked by shield chariots for several waves before anyone called out. Change the rocket.

But the shield car had already advanced to the trench, and several wooden wooden ladders were set up above the trench.

The defender of Cao's army howled and ordered the defenders to shoot wildly in an attempt to suppress the feint attack of Pangshan people.

Two or three shield cars were hit by rockets and gradually began to burn.

The defenders on the city couldn't help cheering, but their cheers soon disappeared because they discovered that even if the shield car was ignited, it might not immediately hurt the people behind the shield car. The light was so bright that the defenders couldn't see clearly the figures of the hussars behind the shield car, and they couldn't talk about any subsequent shooting.

The burning shield cart was pushed into the moat trench of Wancheng.

The intertwining of fire and water creates a large amount of thick smoke, which spreads...

"Keep it, keep it!" ” Cao Jun’s general shouted, “Shoot when you see a figure!” Don't stop! It will be dawn in two or three hours, and there will be nowhere to hide their whereabouts! 』

The guard widened his eyes, trying to find the main direction of Pang Shanmin's attack among the light and darkness, flames and smoke. He also thought that there must be some additional changes that caused Pang Shanmin to attack all night, so he had to attack in advance. He kept shouting to boost morale, indicating that reinforcements from Jingxiang were probably coming soon, and asked the soldiers defending the city to hold on...

However, the guard general failed to wait for the so-called reinforcements from Jingxiang. Instead, Huang Zhong came out of the tunnel with his swordsman, like a bear coming out of its cave, with vicious claws and claws, and he killed a lot of people in the city in the blink of an eye. Come when you have time.

Huang Zhong raised his sword high and rushed towards the city gate, "Kill!" Seize the city gate! 』

The school swordsman roared like thunder and followed Huang Zhong, running fast and slashing all the way.

The soldiers of Cao's army in the city had no defense at all. When they met Huang Zhong and others, they were still wondering why there were more hussars in the city? By the time the guards on the city wall reacted, Huang Zhong had already opened the city gate in reverse.

Pang Shanmin rushed in with other soldiers, joined Huang Zhong, and entered Wancheng.

Just like what Pang Shanmin said when he left before, they are back again...
