There is no pressure on Chen Xi whether the landslide will collapse or not. Anyway, he will dig the well that Budai mentioned in seven or eight days. After that, he will send people in to open the city gate, and then send the cavalry into the city to hoist the defenseless bridge. Kingly way.
Speaking of Liu Bei's cavalry, although they are all one man per horse, they are still over 10,000 in terms of number. Of course, they are far less than the local tyrants like Gongsun Zan, but they are absolutely no pressure to use to defeat the princes of the Central Plains. , I didn’t see Cao Mengde being envious and jealous of Liu Bei’s cavalry.
It is said that cavalry rushing into battle is indeed unreliable, but you must recognize the mobility of cavalry, especially when cavalry disrupts soldiers, it is simply crushing!
On the other side, Guan Yu found a few loud voices to attack Chen Ji's guard from a distance. He fought Chen Ji several times along the way, and each time he was either defeated head-on or set up an ambush to disperse.
In short, Guan Yu did not lose once during this journey to the west. No matter what tricks Chen Ji used, Liu Ye took advantage of them and killed him in the end. However, due to the long distance, he had only managed to reach the base of Chen Guojuncheng until now.
However, after walking with Liu Ye all the way, Guan Yu was speechless now. Although Liu Ye could casually discover Chen Ji's arrangements every time, Liu Ye would give a bunch of countermeasures every time, and Liu Ye was obviously being manipulated by Chen Xi. A typical example of a bad person, everything must be written down for later reference, so he always has a thick stack when he gets it to Guan Yu.
The methods are all very good. If there was only one Guan Yu, there would be no choice, but now there are many. Guan Yu, as a perfect image lover, needs to choose the best one among them. As a result, Liu Ye couldn't choose it himself, let alone Guan Yu, so recently Guan Yu has been improving his knowledge reserve while fighting Chen Ji. As a night-time reader of Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Yu has recently begun to study Han history. However, Guan Yu's habit is not to read during the day and practice martial arts, but to light up the lamp and stay up late at night to read.
"Zi Yang, how about we continue to attack the city?" Guan Yu, who had finished playing with the sword in the morning, looked refreshed and asked Liu Ye, who had two dark circles under his eyes.
It is said that Guan Yu is indeed a bit contemptuous of scholar-bureaucrats, but fortunately he is contemptuous of celebrities like Liu Yan. However, Guan Yu will not belittle Liu Yan recently. After all, a good person who also builds Guan Yu's reputation, Guan Yu is not very good at talking. Liu Yan would also nod his head when he saw him.
As for a capable character like Liu Ye, just like Xu Shu in history, he directly impressed Guan Yu, so he still admires this kind of scholar Guan Yu.
"Let's change something today. We haven't thought about conquering the city anyway. Our goal is to force Yuan Shu to return reinforcements. It would be bad if we conquer the county and force Yuan Shu to conquer Jiangling. I think this one After many months, the morale of Yuan Shu's army under Jiangling City has also become low." Liu Ye said that there was no need to attack the city, they were just here to cause trouble.
"What are you going to throw today?" Guan Yu asked with a cold look on his face. He had already seen Liu Ye's boredom. Ever since he got the trebuchet, Liu Ye, except for throwing normal stones on the first day, was torturing the opponent every day.
"I had people capture a lot of wasp, wasp, and gourd bee nests on the mountain. There are about a hundred of them now. These bees are about two inches big and it would be fun to throw them over." Liu Ye touched his own Huzi said, "The tung oil collection has been a bit low recently, otherwise I would have thrown fireballs to disgust the opponent." Liu Ye was obviously disappointed when he said this.
"Come here, prepare to project what Master Liu requires!" Guan Yu ordered the messenger.
After a dozen hornets' nests were thrown over, the city wall became a mess. The "buzzing" sound made Guan Yu feel a little chilly, while Liu Ye on the side was still looking at the situation on the city wall very excitedly.
"It seems that Chen Ji's men are unpopular, and those with low morale are turning into deserters." Liu Ye said, stroking his mustache.
Guan Yu didn't speak and continued to listen, but he kept slandering, "No one's morale can be improved after being treated like this. First it was the catapult, the second day it was thick smoke, the third day it was added with feces and some unknown stench of smoke, and now it's again It's a hornet's nest. It would be strange if morale could be high after being punished like this! 】
It is said that Liu Ye did not play well when controlling the wind to blow poisonous smoke, which almost made Guan Yu sick. God knows what Liu Ye added to it, but the wind did not control it well, and the result was that it rolled up and almost made Guan Yu vomit his breakfast.
There should have been no pressure when he had such a good opportunity to attack the city. However, Guan Yu tied a piece of water-wrapped cloth and rushed into the smoke to prepare to attack the city with his men. As a result, before he could reach the city, his men began to vomit. This shows that Liu The poisonous smoke that Ye played was so disgusting.
Up to now, Liu Ye was still lighting that kind of smoke that he didn't know what it was. In short, he wanted to disgust Chen Guo's guards to death.
Liu Ye naturally didn't know about Guan Yu's slander. He was now in a state of unlimited imagination.
"Yun Chang, look at those Yuan Shujuns running and escaping on the city wall. Do you really don't want to defend the city? It seems that if you add more firepower, it will be no problem." Liu Ye stroked his beard and looked excited. He had just had a lot of ideas. Kai, he thought of a strategy that was very suitable for the enemy on the opposite side.
"Trebuchet, change the trebuchet." Liu Ye ordered loudly.
"..." Guan Yu didn't say anything. He had given full authority to Liu Ye for things like the trebuchet. God knows what he wanted to throw.
"Go, go to the baggage team and carry a dozen boxes of money for me, and then carry some gold cakes, gold beads and other things." Liu Ye ordered Sun Kang.
Soon dozens of boxes of money were carried over. It was obvious that the money belonged not only to Liu Ye, but also to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was very interested in studying what Liu Ye wanted to do.
"Yun Chang, when you see the chaos on the city wall, lead your elite swordsmen to capture the city with all your strength. This may be the best time." Liu Ye turned to Guan Yu and said.
"Okay!" Guan Yu was stunned at first, but after seeing Liu Ye's magic, he immediately ordered his personal guards to prepare.
Boxes of money were poured into the basket of the catapult, and then they were thrown hard on the wall of Chen Guo City, which had finally returned to normal. In an instant, it rained money from the sky, and the next moment, the entire city gate building was in chaos. The taxi soldiers began to pick up the money desperately.
What is the purpose of being a soldier in this era? Not just for a bite of food, but also to carry a few coins in their pockets. These big-headed soldiers are not personal guards. They don’t pick up money when it rains from the sky. There is something wrong with their brains!
"Pa!" A piece of gold cake fell on the ground. The troops who were suddenly confused because of the money grab now directly touched their waist with blood-red eyes. They themselves did not agree with this troops because of the low morale that was tortured by Liu Ye. The soldiers of Yuan Shu fought directly. (To be continued.)
