146. Siege
After hearing Han Fei's words, Liu Bei frowned and said, "If you forcefully attack the city, you may have suffered too many casualties! Zicong, think about it again if there is a better way!"
"It's the lord!" Han Fei responded, but he didn't think of any good idea at this moment. After Han Fei, the others could not make any good suggestions. Liu Bei immediately ordered everyone to prepare the equipment for siege first, at least the ladder would have to be built!
After dinner, Han Fei felt bored, so he took Chen Dao and Sun Wu to wander around the camp! Since Chen arrived, Han Fei handed Mi Fang back to Liu Bei, who was sent by Liu Bei to guard the army's food and grass. As for Han Fei's personal guard, Chen Dao Lai was in charge.
Han Fei walked to the back camp and saw soldiers chatting around the fire. Han Fei was curious and took the two of them over.
"Captain, when do you think we will be able to go home?" asked a young soldier.
The sergeant, who was called the sergeant, was silent for a moment, and said, "It should be soon! It is said that as long as you capture this Shouchun City, it should be enough!"
"Will the troupe be siege tomorrow? I saw Zhuzi and the others making ladders today!" another soldier said.
"Yes, the siege will start tomorrow! But you don't have to worry too much. The little military advisor can definitely come up with a plan to break the city!" said the sergeant optimistically.
"Yes! We have a little military advisor and can definitely break the city as soon as possible! Then we will go home victoriously!" The young soldier who had just spoken clapped and shouted.
After hearing their words, Han Fei subconsciously stopped. Then he shook his head with a self-deprecating voice, and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that I was so popular in the army! But this time I was afraid I would let them down. How should I attack the city to reduce casualties!"
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Liu Bei saw Han Fei with two dark circles on his eyes. He was shocked and thought to himself, "Didn't you sleep all night when you are open?" So Liu Bei asked with concern: "Zicong, did you not sleep well last night? The battle is about to come, you have to rest well!"
Han Fei nodded and replied in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, lord, I'm fine!" Liu Bei was still talking, and the generals arrived at this time, so Liu Bei stopped talking and began to assign tasks.
Today is a feint attack, mainly to test whether there are any defensive loopholes on the East Gate. Even after time, the generals have received the mission, and Zhang Fei led the army to the main attack today!
In front of the two armies, Liu Bei's army set up a formation! Zhang Fei first sent people to call the battle! At this time, people were crowded on the top of the city, and the guard general showed his true face! Han Fei looked at it: "Oh, I'm still an old friend!"
It turns out that it was not someone else who came from Qiao Rui! Han Fei saw that it was a lucky draw in his heart. He would never send someone to fight against the generals. Not only that, Qiao Rui was probably as solid as a god at the east gate, and loopholes would not exist!
Sure enough, Zhang Fei sent someone to scream for a long time, but there was no reaction at all on the top of the city. The slogan failed, so he could only attack! Zhang Fei thought of this and waved his hand and rushed out of more than a dozen teams behind him. Several people in front of him carried the ladder and headed straight to the moat! The battle of siege began.
Qiao Rui on the top of the city watched Liu Beijun's every move coldly, and saw them approaching the moat and spoke this time: "Arrow ready!... Let it go!"
As soon as the words were released, the arrows on the city shot down like locusts. The soldiers who rushed in the front were all shot and fell into the moat! Han Fei looked at the formation with real blood in his heart! How could he suppress the archers on the top of the city? How many people would die if they were allowed to shoot like this!
Not to mention how Han Fei thought hard, just talking about the soldiers in front of him, they finally rushed across the moat and ladders on the city wall! This Shouchun City is worthy of being the capital built by Yuan Shu for a large amount of money. The wall is as high as six meters away. The ladders built by Liu Bei's army had just reached the top of the city.
At this time, Liu Bei's soldiers began to climb up the city with their shields! The growing bow and arrow became even more fierce. When a soldier of Liu Bei's soldiers was halfway through, he was shot on the shoulder by an arrow shot from the right side! He tilted his body and couldn't catch the ladder and fell down.
Han Fei looked at it all over, and he couldn't bear it, so he closed his eyes, and his mind quickly turned! If he could be at the same height as the city guards, wouldn't he be able to press it with a bow and arrow? Thinking of this, he told Liu Bei about his thoughts, and Liu Bei asked, "Zi Cong, are you talking about the well railing?"
"What is the well railing?" Han Fei said in confusion. Liu Bei explained: "The well railing is a moving arrow tower, which can attack the enemy's siege weapons on the city wall. If you set it on it, any type of troops can shoot from a distance. Generally, it is 3 and a half high, with a pulley underneath, or you can move and shoot from a high place. However, because this object is too high, it is moving slowly, and it is also afraid that fire will be easily burned if it is attacked by tinder oil! Zicong, do you mean to use it to suppress the archers on the city?"
Han Fei shook his head and said, "Lord, let me think about it again!" After Han Fei said that, he turned his eyes to the battlefield ahead again. At this time, the city was covered with corpses. It took only a few more than a thousand people to die under the city, and the bodies were piled up in mountains!
"Wait a minute! It's piled up into mountains!" Han Fei instantly grabbed the inspiration, "That's right, it's piled up into mountains! I finally know how to suppress the archers in the city. Maybe the catapult cart can be used again!"
Thinking of this, Han Fei turned his head and said to Liu Bei: "My lord is OK, let's stop the army! I already have a plan to break the city!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed and asked: "What is Zicong's trick? Come on?"
"Lord, let's stop the troops first! Let's go back!" Han Fei looked at the soldiers who were still climbing desperately in front of him and shook his head. After hearing this, Liu Bei immediately ordered the stop to stop the troops. The army retreated like a tide, leaving only a piece of corpses under the city.
Back at the big tent, Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask: "Zi Cong can tell you now! What's the trick?"
Han Fei looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "I want to pile up a mountain of earth in front of the city gate. What do you think?"
"Tushan?" Liu Bei repeated. Then he thought carefully, okay, if this Tushan is as high as the city wall, wouldn't it be possible for the soldiers to stand on the mountain and shoot arrows into the city, and the archers on the top of the city can be suppressed by themselves!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei clapped his hands and said, "In this way, we can suppress the archers on the city!"
"Lord, I don't know this! The catapult cart can also be used! If the catapult cart is placed on the earthen mountain, you can knock the huge stone into the city or simply roll into the city. This will inevitably lead to chaos in the city! Then the lord will attack the city with the momentum, and the city will be broken!" Han Fei said confidently.
Chapter completed!
