Li You was also in a hurry and could not defeat the city. Finally, he threw his virus-laden clothes in and planned to rely on his own epidemic prevention capabilities to kill Brahmas. You must know that once this kind of biochemical warfare is launched, the out-of-control epidemic will cause extreme consequences to both parties. Big loss.
However, because Brahmasi was too important and the Han army could not win the city after a long siege, Li You was anxious and directly broke through the bottom line to attack.
However, there was nothing wrong with Brahmas. Soon after, Wu Pu gave an argument, saying that the Ganges River water did have an anti-epidemic effect, but it was not recommended for Han soldiers to drink it...
To put it simply, if normal people drink this river water without heating it, they are likely to get sick, but if people who can withstand this situation drink Ganges river water, the bacteriophages in the Ganges river water will help kill some viruses, and it is obvious that both sides of the Ganges river Kushan people can drink Ganges water directly.
Li You almost kicked the table at that time. It was nothing. He was ready to wait for Liu Bei to remove him from his post and call him back to the central government, and transferred Jia Xu to be the chief of staff. But now you tell me that this method is useless.
Since the disease cannot be defeated, we can only use normal siege methods. However, in the past half a year, Guan Yu and others have used all normal siege methods. What poisonous smoke and poisonous insects. Ah, what kind of siege machinery is completely useless. It is useless to face this northern nobleman's carefully built border town.
The psychological attack methods that might have been useful in the past had lost all meaning when facing Rahul and Niranjan. It can be said that in less than half a year, the Han army had not made any clear progress in facing the city of Brahmas, except for the generals. The city was surrounded.
In the end, Guan Yu had no choice but to use Chen Xi's mentally retarded siege plan with a dark face, which was to build a mountain of earth. Chen Xi joked that as long as you had more soldiers, you could defeat the opponent in a field battle. With this plan, there was no city that could not be conquered by the siege method of building a mountain of earth. of.
At most, it takes a relatively long time and requires the ability to suppress the enemy as a whole. After these two points are met, it is only necessary to carry out repeated earthwork operations for several months to build a mountain of earth that is higher than the opposite city wall. no problem.
There is no doubt that these two Guan Yu legions have both, and Guan Yu really wants the other party to rush out and fight with him. As for wasting time or something, the lack of any progress in the past half year has made Guan Yu understand that this city is probably not what he used to do. The kind of city you see in military books, it takes a year or two to conquer the city with great difficulty.
Thinking about the brutal offensive and defensive battles, Guan Yu felt that he should be more realistic and forget about building mountains of earth. It was safe and effective, and he also accumulated pressure on the opponent.
After all, if the earth mountain is one meter high, the pressure on the soldiers on the opposite side will be even greater. They can only watch the earth mountain on the opposite side become higher than their city wall, but when they have no response plan, not to mention what the general thinks, what the soldiers feel The pressure can almost crush you.
"In the end, I chose to pile up the dirt into a mountain." Zhao Yun was happy. It seemed that a group of smart people had no choice but to face Brahmas in the end.
"There is no way, Rahul and Niranjan are not easy people, and the city has sufficient troops, complete supplies, and the city defense is ridiculously complete. In addition, the other party does not show up at all, and does not come out. What can I do?" Zheng Ye was almost speechless. Although he had attacked cities before, he could solve most of them with his brain. However, this time he encountered something that he couldn't solve with his brain.
"Okay, Zichuan's plan is more reliable." Zhao Yun said with a smile, "Although it looks stupid, I have to admit that this idiot's plan is indeed very stable."
"Who says it's not the case? With this kind of plan, when combined with Shangzichuan's kind of logistical equipment and the size of its troops, no city can last more than four months. Complete city defenses and famous defensive generals are completely useless." Fa Zheng He rolled his eyes and said.
In this era when the essence of heaven and earth is intensified, Brahasi City, as an important town in Kushan Border County, has been raised and thickened several times since the arrival of Niranjan. In a just-in-case attitude, the city defense construction has been strengthened many times, and the city of Brahmas has been The height of Xisi increased to more than seven feet.
This is already a very outrageous height. However, Guan Yu started construction from 800 meters away. The earth platform was 500 meters wide and 25 meters high, and the project volume was only 10 million square meters.
If it weren't for the need to transport earthwork from other places, and the fact that people are not machines and need to rest, Guan Yu would not have even needed four months to build the 500-meter-wide earth platform from 800 meters away to the top of the city of Brahmas. By the way, the reason why we started repairing from 800 meters away was to completely eliminate the blow of Kuishang's defensive equipment. It can be said that if we pounce all the way, the Han army's instantaneous defeat will be very small.
After the final paving was completed, the five-hundred-meter-wide earthen platform could be used to race horses without any problems, but it would be damning if only Brahmas could hold on to it.
In fact, the earth mountain that Chen Xi thought of at first was too simple, because if he piled the earth mountain directly, it would be too close to the city wall. For the defenders with engineering equipment, if the engineering equipment was enough, it would be a nightmare for the siege.
Therefore, you can only build earthen mountains from outside the attack range of engineering equipment. In this way, you can directly build it higher than the opposite city from the beginning. Engineering equipment can attack and so on. You can also place engineering equipment on your own earthen platform, and it is higher than the opposite city. Naturally more advantageous.
However, the difficulty of the project has basically not changed at all, and you don’t need to have a background in civil engineering and architecture. Just pile it on and pile it all the way through.
Rahul and Niranjan discovered the movements of the Han army hundreds of meters away on the first day, but they did not know what the Han army was doing. After waiting for a few days, the Han army's soil slopes and soil platforms were stronger than those of Brahma. Si's side was higher, and then he began to push forward gradually.
At that time, even though it was the first time for Rahul and Niranjan to see this siege plan, they realized how unsolvable this move was.
Especially after more than ten days, the smart people among the ordinary soldiers could see what this move was used for. Li You set up a big flag on the earth platform, which marked the progress of the earthwork project and the forecast. Countdown to estimate.
After all, there is no shortage of mathematicians accompanying the army among the families who migrated to the south. After several days of calculations, the progress of this thing has been basically determined.
So Li You happily set up a 100-day sprint countdown for Rahul and Niranjan. Remember to read it every day. I have to say that Li You is really good at torturing people's hearts.
The morale of the Han army was rising day by day as they watched the countdown that doubled or even doubled every day. They were gearing up and waiting to capture Brahmas. On the other hand, Kushan looked at the earthworks that the Han army was gradually pushing over. , looking at the completely ineffective blocking plan, morale fell involuntarily.
How to fight this? It's impossible to block it outside the city. If you don't block it, you can only watch the earth platform being pushed over. Once pushed over, their only advantage, which is to defend the city, will be gone. Isn't that doomed? , if you think about it this way, the countdown becomes even more uncomfortable.
During this period, Rahul and Niranjan also thought of several countermeasures, but unfortunately all of them failed. The heavy trebuchet was basically equivalent to adding bricks and stones to the opponent, and basically could not kill a few people.
The legion attack was barely effective, but once they lost their legion attack, the Han army would seize the opportunity, take advantage of the overall loss of the Kushan legion, and then quickly attack the city.
In addition, it is impossible for the legion attack to blow away the earth platform that is several hundred meters wide and tens of meters high under the cover of the Han army, and only explode it. To be honest, for this kind of earth pile operation, , you have scattered the soil and it is still in the same place, there is no difference between it and it has not been scattered.
Without the protection of the Han army, it might still be useful to knock the earthwork away with one blow, but now the Han army is behind the earthwork. Using Kushan's secret technique of city defense structure to protect their own soil work, Niranjan and Rahul If they can use the secret technique of legion attack to blow up the city defense structure, the Han army can take advantage of the exhaustion of the Kushan soldiers to capture the city of Brahmas.
For this reason, Guan Yu also specially told Rahul that this is the latest secret technique for city defense structure developed by your Kushan. This secret technique is very easy to use. We took a look at it and made a copy for you to experience. Rahul He almost vomited blood. He had never seen this secret technique before, but now it was in the hands of the Han army!
"That is to say, in more than three months, when you pile the earth in front of the Brahma Si, the Brahma Si will definitely change hands." Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and said seriously.
"Actually, it won't take more than three months. It seems like it will take that long now. In fact, when the earthwork reaches a normal level, we will dig out the second half and pile it up to the front half. Before, we built from 800 meters away because It’s a problem with the opponent’s defense equipment.” Fazheng shook his head and said.
Moving soil from other places is the most time-consuming part of this project, but now there is no need to move soil. It is easy to dismantle the back half and advance the front half.
After all, it was enough now, and Guan Yu also discovered this situation. They could actually dismantle the second half and move forward now, but Guan Yu finally said that they would continue to move forward. If necessary, use the legion to attack the entire blown-up rear section. Half way through, forcefully push through. This will be unexpected and the speed will be ridiculously fast.
This plan has been approved by everyone. After all, if they do this, the initiative is in their hands - while there is still time, delay it and prepare.
Once it was determined that Vesudeva I would take action, he did not follow the route arranged by the Han army and directly blew up the earthen platform, revealing that his own weapons could be piled up to the city wall of Brahma within a few days, and that Brahma could be captured on the same day. The preparations forced Guishang to give up the previous arrangement.
After all, Kushan's goal is very clear, which is to rescue Brahmas. They hope to save the city and Lahaul. Once the Han army can enter the city of Brahmas that day, all the plans of Vasudeva I can be carried to heaven. !
