Chapter 419 The Firebird Homing God conceived
Liang Cheng was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "Outwitted? How to outwit? Generally, in addition to a strong attack, this kind of fortified city is nothing more than the Five Elements Tactics, which doesn't seem to be practical. ”
Fu Rong smiled: "Which five elements of warfare? ”
Liang Cheng nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called Five Elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are also, and the earth is the crypt warfare method, and our army needs to make tunnels to attack the city." But in today's battle, Liu Yu in turn first dug a tunnel to rob and kill the soldiers of our army, presumably the city has long been prepared, the moat outside the city has not been filled, even if our army is a hole, it will be found when it is close to the city wall, and this road is impassable. ”
Fu Rong nodded lightly: "Well said." The method of burrowing the ground only needs to dig a long trench in the city to cut it off, and then install some water tanks and urns to listen to the sound of the ground to prevent it. And it takes a long time, and this method does not work. And what about the art of water warfare? ”
Liang Cheng pointed to the quietly flowing water in front of him, and said: "This Shouchun is built according to the water, and it is said that it can be used to divert water to irrigate the city, but the site of Shouchun City is located on a high slope, not a depression, and it is now winter, the amount of water is small, not the rainy season flood season in summer, even if we build a dam upstream to isolate the water, it is difficult to wash away the wall of this Shouchun City at once." ”
Fu Rong said thoughtfully: "Is it okay to poison the water?" ”
Liang Cheng shook his head: "No, the city must be drilling wells to get water, and I don't expect water outside the city for a long time." In addition, it snows a lot now, and the snow gathers and melts, and there can also be water, which is not to be done. ”
Fu Rong sighed: "The method of water and soil is not feasible, what about the wood attack method?" ”
Liang Cheng's brows furrowed: "The method of wooden attack is to use a variety of siege equipment, such as rushing cars, ladders, small-legged wooden donkeys, etc. Making these siege equipment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and even if it is done well, it still needs to be stormed. I'm afraid that if our troops don't attack the city in a few days, their morale will drop, and even if they have siege equipment, it will be difficult to take it. Judging from today's offensive and defensive battles, Liu Yushen knows the way of attack and defense, and there is always a way to deal with siege and warfare. As I said just now, it's better to fight late than early, so this method of wooden attack is time-consuming and laborious, and it is better not to use it. ”
Fu Rong nodded: "In this way, there are only two ways to attack the gold attack and the fire attack, let's talk about the gold attack first." ”
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "The golden stone attack method is to use catapults and ironclad troops, which I have already used today, Liu Yu used a cloth curtain to dissolve my castings, and used trebuchets in the city to kill and injure a large number of heavy armored soldiers of our army, both of which are not good." So, in the end, there was only one way left to attack. ”
Fu Rong's eyes flashed: "Is there a chance for fire attack?" ”
Liang Cheng shook his head firmly: "There is no chance." In fact, I have thought about this method for a long time, but Liu Yu is extremely tightly guarded, it is night, you don't see it, if it is daytime, you can find that all the buildings in this Shouchun City, as long as they are wooden, will be smeared with thick silt outside, and even if the fire arrows of our army hit these towers, they still cannot ignite. ”
Fu Rong hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then if you throw the fireball fired by the fire arrow or trebuchet over the city tower and into the city, can you set the house on fire?" ”
Liang Cheng sighed: "We can think of this, Liu Yu should have been prepared, if he can plaster mud on the wood of the city tower, he will definitely demolish the wooden houses on the city wall in the city, or smear mud on the roof and smear feces to avoid fire attacks." ”
Fu Rong smiled and waved his hand: "So, the fire attack must be out of play?" ”
Liang Cheng nodded firmly: "It's definitely no fun." At this time, it is a waste of time to think about outwitting, if you want to build a mountain of earth or something, although you have a bigger grasp, but it takes more time, we are now a gathering of elite soldiers, and we can't wait so long to quickly capture Shouchun. So let's attack directly tomorrow, and if you die more, you will die more, but as long as you take Shouchun. Otherwise, it is better to retreat. ”
Fu Rong's eyes flashed coldly: "The matter of retreating from the army must not be mentioned." I have a way to attack Shouchun and take it down in one fell swoop! ”
Liang Cheng's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "What way?" Fire attack? How is that possible, I have already said it. ”
Fu Rong smiled and pointed to the sky above his head: "Look, what are these?" ”
Liang Chengshun pointed and looked, only to see a few birds fluttering their wings, and after flying for hundreds of steps, they fell far away into the woods at the edge of the camp and never saw them again.
Liang Cheng said with a smile: "Isn't this the night bird returning to the forest, returning to the nest, what ............ with the fire attack?"
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh, and said in a lost voice: "Oops, why didn't I think of it." There are also nests in this city, and the birds fly out every day to feed, so we can ............."
Fu Rong clapped his hands and laughed: "You can tie the fire on the body and legs of these birds, and release them back, as long as it does not snow and the weather is dry, the fire will probably be caused by friction in the bird's feeding, so that if the nest is ignited, the entire building can be ignited." Plastering mud can prevent these wooden buildings at the head of the city, but how can it prevent thousands of households in the city?! ”
Liang Cheng laughed and clenched his fists: "Good plan, really good plan, Ah Rong, you and I have been friends for many years, this is the first time you have really convinced me so much, is it the art of war under the Lu Gong handdown?" ”
A strange smile flashed on Fu Rong's face: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." Ah Cheng, you go and start preparing, early tomorrow morning, select a reliable sergeant to catch the birds and magpies flying out of the city, and then tie the fire on the body, and even use a long cotton thread to ignite the fire. I think tomorrow night, we should be able to see a splendid fireworks feast. ”
Liang Cheng turned around and left, his voice coming from afar: "You just wait to watch the show." Tomorrow, I want to make Shouchun a sea of fire! ”
When Liang Cheng's figure disappeared into the night, the smile on Fu Rong's face gradually dissipated, and a dark shadow gently walked to his side, revealing a thirty-year-old, shrewd and capable, bearded face by the light of the torches in the hands of several guards. ”
Fu Rong turned his head and looked at this person coldly, and said calmly: "Murong Nong, if you can really capture Shouchun according to your strategy tomorrow, I will not forget the merits of you and your father." It's just that I still haven't figured it out, your father is far away on the front line of Xiangyang, confronting the Jin army, why did you come all the way to offer me this strategy? Don't say how loyal and patriotic your father is, it's okay for you to deceive the king of heaven in this kind of thing, so I'll be exempt from it. ”
