Chapter 685: Guan Yu Siege City
"When we made a truce in Qingzhou, although it was a truce, there was no rule that we could not continue to fight, and I am now under the order of the imperial court to exterminate the rebels such as Er, but I don't want to come to fight with you."
Liu Bei and these people are all treacherous and cunning old foxes, how could they be affected by a few words before the war.
Anyway, Liu Zheng will not have any emotional fluctuations because of this kind of pre-war trash talk.
"Brother Xuande, you and I are old friends, I also helped you calm down the plague last year, how long has it been, you came to beat me, is this some wolf-hearted, I don't know if I want to repay it, I will take revenge?"
Liu Zheng is not in a hurry to attack, anyway, he is on the defensive side, and he also wants to delay and delay, and see the reality of Liu Bei and these people.
Although he looked at it from the city tower, it was true that there were tens of thousands of troops outside the city, but whether there were 100,000 troops, Liu Zheng was really unsure.
But if you look at the number of people, even if it is less than 100,000, it is about the same.
"It's okay not to talk about the plague, Liu Zheng, as soon as you talk about the plague, then I have something to say, this plague was originally transmitted from you, I haven't told you about it yet, and then you spread your fallacies in my territory in the name of helping me treat the plague, which is another shameful thing."
"So, the plague is your troublemaker, and you still want to use the topic to play!"
When Liu Zheng was spreading the plague, he did receive a lot of money from Liu Bei and them, and at that time, Liu Bei and they dared not speak out because only Liu Zheng's people could treat the plague, but now that the plague has passed, Liu Bei and they don't need to continue to endure it.
When they talked about the last plague, they were all a little excited.
"Okay, okay, since you think so, then I will know, it is useless to talk more, since you are determined to attack, then come, see if your tens of thousands of troops can really defeat my Huainan City."
While Liu Zheng and Liu Bei were scolding in front of this city tower, Liu Chong, the king of Chen, who was standing outside the city, saw Liu Zheng for the first time.
He looked at Liu Zheng on the city tower carefully, and his eyes revealed a bit of admiration.
Liu Pet had heard of Liu Zheng's name a long time ago, that was when Liu Pet was not very old, when he was only fifteen years old, he had heard of Liu Zheng's name in Chen Guoli.
Because at the beginning, when Liu Zheng led tens of thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to fight against the imperial court in Runan, Chen Guo was below Runan, very close to Runan, and some people who fled arrived in Chen Guo and were helped by Chen Guo, Liu Chong heard about Liu Zheng's deeds.
At first, when he heard about Liu Zheng's name and some things about Liu Zheng, Liu Chong just hated Liu Zheng, but when he heard more and more news about Liu Zheng, he became more and more interested in Liu Zheng.
Especially when he knew that Liu Zheng had developed from a small Yellow Turban remnant to a big prince today, as if he could confront the powerful force of the imperial court, Liu Chong did not hate Liu Zheng, but worshipped.
It is to worship Liu Zheng as an idol.
"It turns out that Liu Zheng looks like this, and he is not as handsome as the legend, he is just an ordinary person, I thought he had three heads and six arms, he Liu Zheng can sweep the world and build a huge foundation, I Liu Pet is the same!"
"Shhh, Wang, be quiet, this is not our territory, this is Liu Bei's place, don't be heard by them."
Luo Jun saw that Liu Pet was so bold, and hurriedly reminded him.
Seeing Luo Jun say this, Liu Pet smiled awkwardly, stopped talking, and continued to listen to the conversation between Liu Bei and Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng's disdain for Liu Bei made Liu Bei a little depressed, although he knew that Liu Zheng must be on guard here, Liu Bei still had to try Liu Zheng's strength first.
"Beat the drums and prepare to attack!"
"Yun Chang, I order you to lead an army of 30,000 and take Huainan City!"
"The last general commands!"
The two sides didn't talk about it for too long under the city, and soon Liu Bei let Guan Yu launch an attack, although it was to let Guan Yu lead an army of 30,000 to attack, but such an attack was only a tentative attack at first glance.
Liu Bei didn't know much about Huainan's intelligence, but he knew that Huainan itself had less than 10,000 garrisons.
If there really is only an army of 10,000 people, then it will be easy for Liu Bei to take this city, but now the sudden appearance of Liu Zheng makes Liu Bei a little uncertain.
When Liu Zheng arrives here, he will definitely bring some of his elites, and then treat Huainan City as a garrison with less than 10,000 people, it will be impossible.
In order to find out how many defenders there were in this city, Liu Bei took back the order to attack the whole army at the beginning, and asked Guan Yu to test the temptation first.
The 80,000 army was stationed outside the city in batches, led by Guan Yu 30,000 troops, these 30,000 troops were Liu Chong, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei, each with 10,000 people, to attack the city.
"The whole army listens to my orders, rush!"
Guan Yu raised his knife and gave an order, and tens of thousands of people began to attack with a rushing hammer.
The figures were like shuttles, quickly rushing outside the city, and the shouts of killing became more and more deafening at this time.
Liu Zheng looked at the 30,000 people rushing from the city, his face was calm, if this 30,000 people could take Huainan City, then he didn't need to rush over.
"Wenpin, I'll leave it to you, give them some color and take a look."
"Yes, my lord."
In the face of such a small scene, Liu Zheng now needs to personally command the battle, just have Wen Ping to deal with it, anyway, there are not many people on the city tower, and the real elite cavalry under Liu Zheng doesn't even need to be dispatched, and they are still cultivating in the city.
Only 10,000 elites of Wenpin need to be stationed here, and these people of Guan Yu will not want to enter the city.
However, this time Liu Zheng obviously came prepared, and with the sound of the horn, it didn't take long for some arrows to shoot at the city tower.
Liu Zheng originally wanted to see the battle on the city tower, but he could see that arrows were shooting at his side from time to time, so he could only withdraw from the city tower to avoid first.
Wen Ping led his own people and began to counterattack here, using the defensive measures on the city tower to block Guan Yu's attack.
Siege warfare rarely happened in ancient times, even during the Three Kingdoms period, there were too many battles, and the real attack on the city was very rare.
Because of the siege, their own losses were too great.
If you don't have good siege equipment, it's too difficult to take a city.
Most siege battles are sieges and attrition, and whoever can't hold it first will lose.
