Go out of the city to attack the enemy?
After listening to Jushu's analysis, Gao Lin was so shocked that Chang Xian stuck his head out from behind the parapet and looked down at the city.
Indeed, nearly 80% of the stones fell into the moat.
send troops? Where are the soldiers to come from?
The number of servants in Guangchang City was less than 2,000. This kind of troops was also a large number in ordinary county towns. Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, how many states and counties had less than two thousand soldiers? How much more a county? However, there are four passes to guard in Guangchang, and half of them have already been passed. Although most of the servants at Tianmen Pass and Heishiling Pass have returned, they lost 200 servants in the battle at Wuruan Pass. Gao Lan led his men out of the city to demolish the bridge and lost nearly 300 men. In addition, they were blocked in the city by thieves. The servants of Jinpi Pass, who are not allowed to return, now only have over a thousand servants in the city, and these people still have to guard the city wall. Besides, the bandits are so fierce that sending a small number of soldiers out of the city is tantamount to sending a large number of soldiers out of the city to sacrifice people's lives? Who should guard Guangchang?
Guangchang is not guaranteed!
After trying to understand everything, Gao Lin felt cold in his heart when he saw stones falling into the water.
If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?
If Guangchang is not protected, where will the Gao family in Guangchang go? Where will the hard work of generations go?
"Clan leader..."
"Brother, be careful of stones..."
"Mr. Gao..."
While Gao Lin was in a daze, a stone came roaring towards him. The urgent shouts of servants and other family members woke Gao Lin up. He saw that the stone was getting bigger and bigger and getting closer.
Duang…
The flying rocks hit the female wall, debris flew everywhere, and dust flew everywhere. Gao Lin felt a pain in his forehead, and he fell straight back in shock and fright.
"Mr. Gao..."
"Clan leader..."
The city of Guangchang was in chaos.
Zhang Cheng, the leader of the Zhang clan, watched the Gao clan members carry Gao Lin, who had a broken stone on his forehead and was bleeding, as he walked down the city wall. His expression changed, and after thinking for a while, he went straight down to the city with his guards.
Chen Sheng, a descendant of Chen Ping in the Western Han Dynasty, looked at the blood stains scattered on the high forest on the city wall, gritted his teeth, and left for the city.
On the top of the city, only Jushou and a few heads of small families who looked at each other were left.
Guangchang is over!
Seeing several big families leaving the city, Jushou sighed in his heart.
Thief, what a good plan. Dozens of simple catapults, in a few days, can render the deep trenches and high walls ineffective, and can also render the stone and rolling logs on top of the city useless, without having to kill or injure a single soldier. It's just a few days' hard work.
A conspiracy, an unsolvable conspiracy.
They know that there is a shortage of major generals in Guangchang City, so they want to force you out of the city to fight with them head-on. It's easy to deal with it if you don't leave the city, then just wait to die in the city and wait for people to fill up the trench with stones. Then people will naturally find you.
Thinking of this, Jushou gradually felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
what to do? What should I do to protect my children and my wife?
The flying rocks continued, and Jushou, who was standing on the city wall, felt as confused as the flying rocks...
All day and night, the drums and shouts continued, and the attack on the city continued. Even lunch and dinner did not stop. The ant soldiers who controlled the catapults took turns to go up. When the sun was high in the sky again, the attackers The city's stones have filled up a section of the moat that is two to three feet wide and have piled up a slope of more than two feet under the city wall.
The catapults were still going on. Zhao Feng looked at the slope, but was speechless for a long time. He now knew why Thief Zhang insisted on carrying out this useless siege. He didn't waste a single soldier. After a few days, the thieves You can climb this slope to the top of the city. Where can you find such an easy way to attack the city?
What a fantastic idea, it’s really brilliant!
Zhao Yun looked at his brother's numb eyes and his face was full of disappointment. He was happy too early, and he thought Zhang Thief was too simple...
"Brother, Yang Mazi waited all night in vain, and no one left the city." Yu Zhong muttered after swallowing the last mouthful of porridge in the wooden bowl.
"Zhong, why are you so anxious? Let the stones fly for a while." Zhang Sheng held the porridge and rice in his hand, glanced at Guangchang City with squinted eyes, and replied in an understatement.
People are all selfish. What's more, the servants in the city are composed of big and small families and landlords. Their professional alliances are not so reliable. As long as the stones are piled higher, some people can't see the hope that Guangchang City can hold. At this time, there will naturally be "professional people" who will consider their options.
It is better to try desperately than to wait for death in the city. What if you can survive after leaving the city?
"A Sheng, you eat, I'll go for a walk." Sun Fu next to him finished the last bite of his meal and stood up to say goodbye.
When the captains next to Sun Fu saw their immediate boss put down his bowl, they immediately sucked up the porridge in the bowl and put down their bowls to follow.
"Uncle Fu, why are you running away? Hurry and go to Doctor Qin to change the dressing. It's hot and the wounds on your arms will be sores. The enemy won't leave the city so quickly." Zhang Sheng saw through Sun Fu's thoughts at a glance and gave him up. thoughts.
According to the plan, Zeng Niu organized men to throw stones to fill the trenches; Yu Zhong's elite served as a reserve team to prevent the enemy from leaving the city to harass at any time; Yang Mazi was responsible for the ambush; Sun Fu's archers were the hunters chasing rabbits.
Once the enemy leaves the city, Sun Fu is responsible for chasing them and driving them into Yang Mazi's ambush area.
Now, only one day has passed, and these people are impatient and can't wait any longer. This is not a good sign.
"The medicine has been changed in time."
Zhang Sheng saw through Sun Fu's thoughts and could only sit back down again, while the rest could only wait helplessly.
"Brother, didn't you say there might be some tricks in the city? Why haven't we seen any movement from the enemy in this day and night?" With nothing going on, Yu Zhong started chatting.
Yes, why is there no movement in the city?
Hearing Yu Zhong's inquiry, Zhang Sheng was a little confused.
Jushou has little talent and much power. He first served as Han Fu's cavalry captain. After Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he recognized Yuan IV as his lord. He supervised the internal and external and powerful armies, and helped Yuan Shao seize Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou and unify Hebei. He once suggested to Yuan Shao that he should serve the emperor, oppose the division of the princes, and propose a strategy of weakening the emperor in three years. Unfortunately, Yuan Caobao did not adopt any of his suggestions. Later, when the old thief Cao caught this man, he sighed: "If we meet each other as soon as we are alone, there will be no worries in the world."
The meaning of "holding the emperor to command the princes" was first spoken by this person.
It was this person who saw through Liu Daer's intention to seek refuge when Liu Daer defected to Yuan IV, and persuaded Yuan to kill Liu.
Among the wise men of the Three Kingdoms, in terms of intelligence, this person was also ranked high in the late Han Dynasty.
According to the news obtained earlier, Jushou Jugongda is the county king of Guangchang City. Now, even if he is ignored by others, he can't just wait for death in silence, right? After all, we should come up with some means to make him appear worthy of his reputation?
Zhang Sheng really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Jushou Jugongda was selling in his gourd at this time...
