Chapter six hundred and eighty-fifth world strong city
"We have to take a long journey ahead. Now the road leading to Jingzhou in the north has been blocked by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu." Cheng Yu said.
Diao Chan was wearing a plain linen cloth. The wind and sun these days have made her haggard. Many memories have also emerged in her mind. It was about Li Hugo. Diao Chan said, "They want to guide Jingzhou, I really don't know what happened to Hugo now?"
"General Li has three great talents, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, and Pang Tong. Although it may not necessarily destroy Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, it is still okay to protect yourself." Cheng Yu said, his lips cracked and he had not had a full meal for many days. Recently, he had a stomachache because of drinking stream water.
Diao Chan gritted her teeth and said, "Red Flower, how much food do we have?"
"The food is only three days long, and the money is gone." Honghua said, "but I picked a lot of wild fruits along the way, which can temporarily satisfy my hunger."
Luye said, "I finally came here. I could meet with the master if I just walked for another seven days. If we do this now, will we take away a lot of roads?"
"Not much, just a month." Diao Chan said, "We had nothing in the previous month. Haven't we survived it? Now the remaining road is not that difficult to walk, at least there are no refugees and bandits around here."
He was also very curious about Diao Chan's persistence. Who is Li Hugo? He was able to make a beauty like Miss Diao Chan so devoted.
A peerless fairy like Diao Chan is probably loved by all the people in any place. And as long as she is willing, her charming appearance may provoke disputes between the two countries. Such a person is definitely a beauty of the incident.
Who is Li Yuguo? Although he was nominally the Grand Marshal of the imperial court, he was purely like the Eastern Han Dynasty court, with real names and no real power, so to put it bluntly, it was just a decoration.
Although he occupied Jingzhou, the nominal lord of Jingzhou was not him, but the young master Liu Qi, while Li Yuguo was just a great governor. Now facing the attacks of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, it is conceivable that Li Yuguo's situation is quite bad.
However, along the way, Diao Chan never gave in at all and has always been very clear about her goals.
The battle in Shouchun has begun. Li Yuguo's troops are divided into three groups and are at the city. However, seeing the towering walls of Shouchun are difficult to break, it is also difficult for a while.
A large number of soldiers flocked to the city wall, drove ladders and used catapults, but they could not hurt the Shouchun City wall at all.
"There are too many casualties. If we continue like this, even if we are wiped out, we will not be able to defeat Shouchun." Xu Shu said, gritting his teeth and saying, "Shi Yuan is a genius in siege, but if he is not here, he is still unable to do anything else..."
As soon as these words were said, the surroundings were covered with a layer of haze. In the distance, large areas of soldiers fell from the city wall, all of which were smashed to pieces, and death was almost one-sided.
On the top of the city, it was the lucky one who survived. Li Feng laughed, "You die, even if you plotted to attack our water camp, so what? Our Shouchun City is the most powerful city in the world. The city wall is made of green steel stone and copper juice. The city wall is a hundred feet high, and the battle under the city wall is two feet deep. There are various crocodile beasts inside. The city gate is even thirty inches thick. Even the heaviest siege radium cannot be broken!"
"The villain succeeds!" Sun Jian said gritting his teeth.
"Retreat, camp thirty miles away from the city." Li Hugo said.
"But if we don't take down this Shouchun City now, wouldn't these more than 8,000 brothers die in vain?" Sun Ce said hurriedly.
Sun Jian beside him shouted, "My lord is right. Their city walls are piled with rolling wood and huge rocks for many years, which is enough to consume a month of siege. If we follow the conventional method, even a million troops will have to explain them here. Moreover, they are condescending, with bows and arrows farther than our range, and catapult cars are farther than us. Before we attack, we have to pay a heavy price first. For the sake of the present, we can only retreat first and then think about the strategy!"
When he returned to the military camp, Li Hugo saw the wounded around him, and he felt uncomfortable and felt uncomfortable.
To win Shouchun, Li Huguo can follow Cao Mengde's method. In fact, Yuan Shu was finally won by Cao Mengde, according to history.
It turned out that Cao Mengde led an army of 170 million to fight against Yuan Shu, who was the first to become emperor, and formulated a strategic policy to directly attack the pseudo-capital Shouchun at all costs. However, Yuan Shu was not stupid. After several defeats, he occupied the city and wanted to wait until Cao Mengde had exhausted his food and grass and retreat on his own, and then take the opportunity to chase him and he would definitely win.
Facts have proved that the strategy adopted by Yuan Shu was completely correct. Just like the current situation, the price to win Shouchun was too high. Cao Mengde had 170,000 people, while Li Huguo had only 70,000 people now, which was half the difference.
When Cao Mengde entered the enemy territory, he had problems with reserve supply and demand. In addition, he had 170,000 mouths to eat every day, and soon the grain in Curry came to an end. At this time, Cao Mengde had a plan and ordered the military ration officer Wang Ha to distribute the food with Xiaohu. But soon, the military camp was filled with dissatisfaction with Cao Mengde. Cao Mengde was in the army all year round, and he smelled the smell of mutiny, so at this time he had to find a scapegoat to help him take the blame. It was obvious that the military ration officer Wang Ha was the best candidate. So Cao Mengde used the excuse of Wang Ha embezzling military rations and chopped off his head and hung it in the camp to show everyone that Wang Ha had embezzled your military rations, not that I, Cao Mengde, detained you.
However, this only diverts the resentment of the soldiers. The military food problem is still the biggest problem facing Cao Mengde. After Wang Ye's death, Cao Mengde knew that he had reached the final bottom line. On the one hand, he was seriously insufficient in food, and on the other hand, he could not retreat, because he would be in chaos when he retreated, and he would be defeated when he was in chaos. Therefore, there was only one way to go, that is, to attack Shouchun and if he could not conquer, he would be killed by his subordinates without Yuan Shu's actions.
The next day, Meng De ordered the generals of each battalion to break the city within three days, and they were all killed. Meng De personally supervised the army to carry soil and stones, fill the moats and block the trenches. Arrows and stones on the city were like rain. Two subordinate generals avoided them. Meng De drove his sword and killed them under the city, and then got off his horse and took the soil and filled the pits. So all the soldiers from all over the world moved forward, and the army was greatly promoted. But in this battle, Cao Mengde died 80,000 people.
Li Hugo only has 70,000 people, so he could not use this method to attack the city. Therefore, Li Hugo could not attack the city from outside, so he could only find another way. For this method, Li Hugo still couldn't fall asleep late at night.
But at this moment, a fast horse suddenly flew past the jungle in the distance. The man ran towards the south gate of Shouchun. Li Huguo picked up a hard bow beside him, pulled the strings, and released it with an arrow.
