Chapter 0425 - Attacking the City in Turns
Early the next morning, Lu Yunfei's attack became worse. He knew that the official army had sent a messenger, and a large number of officers and soldiers would arrive later, and at this time, taking advantage of the fact that there were no more men and horses in the city, it was a good time to attack the city. In addition, he also blocked all roads into the city, fearing that the official army would secretly escort grain into the city.
At this time, the people in the city suffered greatly. You must know that there are many people in the city who buy grain outside the city, and there is not much surplus food at home in the city, so it will take more than a month to fight, and it is no wonder that the people do not starve to death. For a while, the people in the city were panicked, and those who had money were busy buying food from various stores, and those who had no money could only borrow food from everywhere to survive. I really can't borrow it, so I can only eat wild vegetables in the city.
There is still some surplus grain in the government, and some disaster grain relief is still needed, but I am afraid that I can cope with half a month, and if there is more, I can't.
What's even more terrifying is that Lu Yunfei expected that they were caged rabbits, and the siege was getting worse day by day, and the defenders in the city were tired day and night, and they didn't dare to stop for a while. In order to enhance her combat effectiveness, Dark Fragrance has requisitioned men under the age of fifty and over the age of eighteen in the city, and she can barely cope with these strong men.
Within three days, Lu Yunfei attacked the city as many as seventy or eighty times, taking turns to fight day and night. There were many bandits under him, and they were divided into two shifts, day and night. During the day, he only attacked the city during the day, and slept at night, and those who attacked the city at night, and slept during the day, and there were people who came to disturb the scene from time to time. I have to say that Lu Yunfei is indeed the number one person in the siege of the city.
A few of them live in the mansion and are not clean, most of the time they follow the dark incense to patrol the city, seeing that there are many bandits in the city, if it is not for those cannons, I am afraid that Datong Mansion will not be able to stand even for half a day.
Seeing this, Zuichun had a headache. This will have to wait until the rescue arrives in the Year of the Monkey? I have to think of a way.
Butterfly didn't see the slightest bit of sadness, he ate enough and slept enough. The only interest is to practice the whirling knife on the city walls. After almost two years of following Gege, the whirling knife finally came to a great use here. A dozen single knives are thrown down the city, and there must be a dozen people who see blood. When the butterfly saw it, she clapped her hands and screamed happily.
Bodhi couldn't bear to look at it directly, so he only hid in his room and recited Amitabha. Buddhists say that ants are still life, let alone living people? Although war is inevitable. The dead can't escape, but he still can't bear to hurt each other.
After attacking for three days in a row, Lu Yunfei's soldiers suffered heavy casualties. However, few officers and soldiers were wounded. After being exhausted, Lu Yunfei finally stopped the siege for the time being, and retreated to the camp tent to rest a little.
and the people of the city were tired. Butterflies were addicted and excited. It must be eaten with a dark fragrance. They are, after all, honored guests. Dark incense was not too difficult for them, so they had to order a few dishes to be arranged below and brought up a jar of Xinghua Village.
Dark Xiangyuan didn't have the heart to eat and drink, and the soldiers were in danger under the city, where did he have the mood to eat and drink? It's just that somehow, the four of them actually invited Gege to the banquet, and they had to take time to accompany them.
At the table, there were even fewer dark incense words. Except for being more attentive to Gege, most of the time he was stunned. Hongcui saw this. Nunu mouthed, and said loudly to Gege: "Oh, my pro-Gege, you can come up with your ideas, see what makes our second brother worried." ”
Gege didn't answer. Dark Xiang heard some clues, and hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Gege already has a plan?" ”
"Let me ask you, when will the help arrive?"
It turned out that two personal soldiers really escaped from the north gate that day, but the infantry outside the city was strict, and Lu Yunfei refused to let people in, even if there were rescuers, they didn't know.
Dark Fragrance said in a deep voice: "Dark Fragrance also planned, if the emperor has a letter, he will always send Taiyuan soldiers over first." Liu Chao, the prefect of Taiyuan, was very lazy, and only wanted to protect himself, and he would never go out lightly because of this kind of thing. If you wait for Lord Qin to bring troops back from the capital, it will be at least eight days later. ”
"Do you think we can withstand these eight days?"
Dark Xiang shook her head and said: "Those bandits can be defeated by artillery, and now there are only enough artillery stones in the city for three days, and no more can be more." ”
Gege smiled faintly and said nothing. Dark Xiang has already seen it clearly, and looking at it like that, Gege must be confident. For a while, Dark Xiang hurriedly asked in surprise: "Does Gege have a good plan?" Hurry up and reward the dark incense, the dark incense is dying of sorrow. ”
The originally calm dark incense turned out to be excited, making people laugh when they looked at it.
Gege no longer hid it from him, and said, "You said that Lu Yunfei is the most cautious and suspicious. As the saying goes, the right medicine is prescribed for the case, and we will give a dose of suspicious medicine for his suspicious illness. ”
How does this matter? Several people looked at each other, all looking at Gege, not knowing what to do.
Gege opened his mouth and said: "The book of war says that the false is false, and the suspicion is suspicious, which is the strategy corresponding to the cautious and suspicious of the coach. The most cautious and suspicious person in history was Sima Yi during the Three Kingdoms. Now that I've mentioned this, do you have any ideas in mind? ”
Several of them were still at a loss, only Dark Fragrance slapped her forehead, and said with great joy: "It turned out to be an empty city plan." This joy was fleeting, and then he sighed and said: "This plan is too dangerous, if Lu Yunfei is not fooled, won't the people of the city suffer?" ”
Gege said steadily: "Although the danger is dangerous, it can be used." ”
Randie and Hongcui covered their heads and asked, "We don't understand what you are talking about. ”
Gege said: "I don't want to talk about Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, in fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, some people used the empty city plan to scare off the enemy, and Zhuge Liang is just learning and selling." ”
Dark Xiang asked in surprise: "I only think Zhuge Liang is the ancestor of the empty city plan, is there anything better before him?" ”
Gege said: "Of course, since you don't know, I'll tell you about it when you're idle today." ”
Hongcui couldn't help but say quickly: "Little Gege, you can speak quickly." ”
Gege said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu ordered Yin Gongziyuan to attack the State of Zheng. At that time, Gongzi Yuan was powerful, and he came over, Zheng Guo was in danger, and the ministers were in a panic, some advocated paying money and asking for peace, some advocated fighting to the death, and some advocated holding on to help. None of these ideas can resolve the crisis. At this time, Shangqing Shu Zhan said, 'It is not the best policy to ask for peace and decisive battle. Sticking to the waitlist is a desirable option. It's just empty talk, and I'm afraid it's hard to hold on. Gongzi Yuan is lacking Zheng, in fact, he wants to invite fame, he must be in a hurry, and he is particularly afraid of failure. I have a plan to retreat from the Chu army. ’
The ministers hurriedly asked what the plan was. Shu Zhan smiled but did not answer, only ordered to arrange the troops in such a general manner, and made arrangements in the city. He ordered all his soldiers to lie in ambush so that not a single soldier could be seen by the enemy. The shop was opened as usual, and the people were allowed to come and go as usual, and they were not allowed to show a trace of panic. The gates of the city were opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and it appeared to be completely undefended. ”
Hearing this, Hongcui couldn't help but shout anymore: "Ah, isn't he looking for death?" (To be continued......)
