Chapter 725: Let's Explore

The entire siege war is no longer a siege war, nor is it a defensive battle.

The battlefield has completely become a giant meat grinder, and people die every minute, and the death is very miserable.

Especially the siege soldiers on Cao Mengde's side, they are all very embarrassed, and their ways of death are varied, which is simply full of creativity.

Some people were doused with fire oil and burned to death, but some people were not burned immediately, but turned around and threw themselves into the crowd, and the flames on their bodies spread to others, so that one person was burned to death, and suddenly became two people, or even more.

Some people were stoned to death by stones falling from the city wall, and there were many ways to be stoned, with better luck, they were directly hit in the head, and they died without any pain, but they were lucky enough to be smashed to the bone, and they had to struggle for a while before they died.

There are countless people who fell from the heights, and they fell quite miserably, and some people smashed people, so the two of them returned to the west together.

Especially in the north of the city wall, at this time the corpse has formed a hill, this hill is about ten meters high, and the people behind do not need to use the ladder, but climb the corpse mountain to the city wall.

The remnants of the veterans on Li Hugo's side also fought very bravely, of course, the price paid was also heavy, although the casualty ratio of siege and defense is generally two to one, but Li Hugo's side has fewer soldiers and horses, the other side has 700,000 people, and he only has 10,000 people, so if it goes on, Li Hugo's side will finish explaining sooner or later.

"How are the people now?" said Li Hugo eagerly.

Yang Paifeng was out of breath, and she said: "Now Mrs. Diao Chan is also commanding the team, but there are too many people, a total of 300,000 people, including more than 200,000 old and weak women and children, and they can't go fast at all, and there are too few boats on our riverside, because when General Han Shizhong conquered Hanzhong, all the ships had already sailed away, and now they ...... We're at a loss right now. ”

"There are not enough boats?" Li Hugo almost fainted, and said in his heart why didn't he calculate this? Since he was leaving by water, there must be a boat, but if the boat retreated, it was too slow, and the river near Jingzhou was already very turbulent, and Li Hugo planned to let the people go to Jingnan, and to go to Jingnan, they had to cross the river, but the river was too fast, which affected the efficiency, and there were too few boats, which was even more unusual.

"How long will it take to complete the retreat?" asked Li Hugo.

Yang Paifeng clenched his fists and said, "Mr. said that it will take at least three days and three nights......

"Three days and three nights?" Li Hugo looked at the Cao army in the distance, and said in his heart that this Cao army is dense, such a number, I am afraid that according to this rhythm, it will not take three days, one day and one night is enough to capture the entire Jingzhou.

Li Hugo was worried about time, and he was also very convened on Cao Mengde's side, and he said: "How many people have we lost?"

"All 20,000 people have died in the siege, but I guess their men have already been accounted for, as long as we hold on...... Sima Yi said.

But before Sima Yi could finish speaking, Cao Mengde interrupted him: "What?!We have already died 20,000 people?"

"The other party only has 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are some defenders of Jingzhou headquarters, there is nothing to fear, the lord please order the attack, all the soldiers must go all out!" Sima Yi said.

Zhou Yu next to him said: "Prime Minister, military advisor, in my opinion, Li Hugo must be hiding something, there are so few people in his city, why do you have to hold on? As far as I know, Li Hugo has a group of red rabbit horses, can travel thousands of miles a day, but he did not run away, he must be afraid of something, if we can find what he is afraid of, then we will go straight to the point when the time comes, Li Hugo will throw a mouse bogey, and naturally surrender without a fight." ”

"Yes, if you can really know what Li Hugo is worried about, it will naturally be a good thing, but now it is night, Ming Jin collected his troops and sent a few spies to see the situation in Jingzhou City and see how many troops they have!" Cao Mengde said.

Sima Yi was busy: "Now is the time when the enemy is tired, can we say that we should let go of this opportunity now? We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to attack, so that we can take Jingzhou City as quickly as possible, my lord! We are now very far from Xuchang, and our grain and grass supply line has been stretched too long, and a protracted war is not good for us!"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles!" Cao Mengde said, "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more, when the spies come back, we will talk about it according to the news!"

"Okay, okay......" Sima Yi knew that he couldn't say Cao Mengde, so he gave up.

And the spies sent out by Cao Mengde disguised themselves as ordinary people, and it was the appearance of this person that Yang Paifeng was captured, and Yang Paifeng was about to step forward to arrest him, but Li Hugo appeared next to him: "This should be Cao Mengde's spies, don't be in a hurry...... He came to hear the news, which means that Cao Mengde doesn't know us either, nor does he know our details, and this is an opportunity. ”

"Master, if this person knows that our city's air defense is weak, wouldn't we be in danger if they are in danger?" Yang Paifeng said.

Li Hugo smiled confidently: "Mountain people have their own clever plans!"

When Cao Mengde's fine work came to the city, he found that there were few people in the city, and the fine work was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth: "Why is there no one?"

At this time, Zhao Yun dressed up as a young man, hurriedly passed by, and hurriedly said, "This little brother, what's going on in Jingzhou City?"

"Outside, Cao Mengde is going to attack, so we ordinary people naturally went to other places, and now here...... There are no ordinary people!" Zhao Yun said, according to Li Hugo's strategy.

"What do you mean? What do you mean that there are no ordinary people, I just came from outside, and I see something strange here......

"I'm afraid buddy doesn't understand the current situation, I heard that General Li brought a lot of soldiers and horses to Jingzhou City, and then trained in the dark!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Zuo took out a silver ingot from his arms: "Buddy, wait for me to take a look, I have admired General Li for a long time, and I can't wait to see his military might this time!"

Zhao Yun weighed the silver, and said with a smile: "I'm not looking at the money, I'll take you there this time, after all, this is a secret!"

"Haha, thank you brother!" said Hosaku.

When the two of them came to the riverbank, they brought the fine work with them, because at this time on the riverside, a large number of soldiers and horses were gathered, all of them were well-dressed in armor, which made the fine work stunned......
