"Huh...huh...!" Rows and rows of soldiers gathered on this flat terrain!
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there are no boundaries. What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, so densely packed that you can't see the edge at a glance.
Facing so many enemies, it is a huge challenge for everyone, let alone fighting, just standing here steadily.
After all, looking at the hundreds of thousands of dark enemies in front is a huge test for a person's psychological quality.
It had been more than 10 days since the last time Xiang Yu came to challenge. After more than ten days of calm, Chi You was finally ready for everything, and he was about to start a formal attack.
In the last challenge, it seemed that Xiang Yu was defeated in the end, and the Yellow Turbans also lost three thousand soldiers and horses, but for Chi You, he won that battle.
Three thousand soldiers and horses are nothing more than a drop in the bucket to the Yellow Turbans. Let alone three thousand, even if thirty thousand soldiers and horses were sacrificed, it would not have a big impact on the Yellow Turbans.
Although the Yellow Turbans lost three thousand soldiers and horses, the Han army lost four generals. Except for Yu She who was the first to go on the road, the other three were all ranked high among the Han army.
Although the dead Cao Hong, Cao Bin and Zu Mao are nothing to the current Li Xiang, they are even so-called minor roles. But it's different for Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who are still in the preparation stage of starting a business. Apart from emotional factors, these people can be regarded as their right-hand men.
Not only that, apart from beheading generals, what Chi You is really happy about now is that Xiang Yu finally agreed to stay in the Yellow Turban for the time being.
Everything was just as Chi You had thought. With Xiang Yu's arrogant heart, if he lost, he would definitely try to win back. Moreover, not only did Xiang Yu not challenge Xing Tian, he also had an opponent like Jiang Song.
Speaking of Jiang Song, Chi You also had a headache. Nowadays, there is Xing Tian first among the Han army, and then there is Jiang Song, but among the Yellow Turbans, Chi You is the only one from beginning to end.
With the abilities of these two people, Chi You would have to go all out against one of them. And if the two of them join forces, Chi You will definitely be defeated, and there is a high probability that his life will be in danger.
Although Xiang Yu is still among the Yellow Turbans to help him, Xiang Yu is not a member of the Yellow Turbans after all. And if Xiang Yu leaves one day, how will the Yellow Turbans resist Xing Tian and Jiang Song.
As for Xiang Yu, he is not stupid either. Although he agreed to continue helping the Yellow Turban Army for a while, he was not really willing to work for the Yellow Turban Army in vain. Although Xiang Yu agreed to help the Yellow Turban, he was limited to helping the Yellow Turban deal with either Xing Tian or Jiang Song.
Once upon a time, Xiang Yu was unrivaled in martial arts and regarded everyone in the world as if they were nothing. But now after seeing Chi You, Jiang Song and Xing Tian who has not yet taken action, although Xiang Yu has not gotten rid of his arrogance, at least he will not naively think that he can conquer the world with his own courage alone. .
From the current point of view, Xiang Yu's failure has not only benefited the Han Dynasty and Chi You, but also Xiang Yu himself has benefited a lot. At least now Xiang Yu has begun to make some changes.
…
It was the first time he arrived, and his soldiers were already exhausted after marching long distances, so Chi You did not immediately start to attack the city. After arranging the basic defense, Chi You observed Chen Liu's precautions from a distance, one man and one horse.
Chi You looked directly at Chenliu City with a pair of tiger eyes. This time, Chi You was bound to win Chenliu. Moreover, every time you learn something, you gain wisdom. Chi You would not make the same mistake he made last time in Jizhou this time.
Chi You frowned slightly while observing the situation around Chen Liucheng. Today's Chenliucheng city defense measures, thanks to the large-scale repairs by the Han army, are completely different from the previous Chenliucheng.
If someone had seen what Chenliucheng looked like before, and then looked at the situation of this one, he would even wonder if this was the same city.
The city wall alone was directly raised by nearly two feet by the Han army. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one foot was as much as 2.4 meters, which means that the wall of Chenliu City alone was directly raised by nearly 5 meters. You know, the height of the original Chenliu City wall was less than three and a half feet.
As for the thickness of the city wall, although it is not as obvious as the increase in the height of the city wall, it has also been thickened by more than half a foot. It can be said that the current Chenliu City Wall can almost accommodate small-scale cavalry.
As for the moat, the average moat is no more than twelve feet at most. But now Chi You took a quick look and found that the width of the moat was probably almost fifteen feet wide.
Without thinking too much, Chi You knew that since the moat had been widened, the depth might have been compromised.
This moat alone would probably cost the Yellow Turbans countless lives.
Chi You cast his eyes slightly on the city wall again, but every ten meters or so on the city wall, a catapult was quietly placed on it. On the wall that Chiyou observed, there were at least sixty or seventy catapults.
In fact, after this month of busy work, the Han army mobilized a large number of craftsmen from various places. Although this catapult was not easy to make, with the busy work of a large number of craftsmen and some original inventories, they were all mobilized, and the Han army obtained a total of nearly 200 catapults.
The other three gates each installed forty catapults. Only the north gate, because Chi You chose the north as the main attack direction, focused more on the north when defending, and directly installed nearly eighty catapults.
Counting other archery towers and a few crossbows, it can be said that Chenliu City was almost built into a fortress by the Han army. No, it should be said that it became like a steel hedgehog.
In addition to the above, under Li Xiang's suggestion, the Han army these days dug densely packed pits of varying depths within a stone's throw of the moat.
In other words, if the Yellow Turbans wanted to attack the city normally, they would have to fill up these holes first under the rain of arrows from the Han army. Then, there was the moat so that the Yellow Turbans could start normal siege operations.
In this process, it is not so much that the Yellow Turbans are filling in these potholes and moats with sand, but rather that they are filling in these city defense measures with their own flesh and blood.
But now these are things that Chi You can see, and there are still many things that Chi You can't see.
Although the situation in front of him felt very troublesome, Chi You knew that he had to fight this battle.
Whether it is the Han Dynasty or the world's aristocratic family, the Yellow Turbans are destined to not coexist with them. If the Yellow Turbans cannot destroy the Han Dynasty, then the Yellow Turbans will perish.
This is a fight to the death, and no one can retreat.
