Chapter 922: Ingenious Gongsun Chan
The Liangzhou Army had no gram of the army, and under the command of Zhang He, it was like a bamboo, and successively captured Youzhou Dai County, Shanggu County, and Guangyang County.
Gongsun Zhan could only retreat to Yijing City on the shore of Yishui in Zhuo County.
Yijing City, originally the county seat of Yixian County, is an inconspicuous small city.
In that year, after the defeat in the Battle of Jieqiao, when Gongsun Zhan retreated back to Jixian County, Guangyang County, he happened to pass by Yi County, and he took a fancy to this small city on the bank of Yishui.
Later, Gongsun Zhan dug more than ten trenches on the bank of Yishui, and rammed a mound as high as five or six zhang in the trench, and there was a camp on the mound.
Among all the mounds, the one where Gongsun Chan lived was the tallest and strongest, more than ten zhang high, and its gate was cast with iron.
At this time, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yijing City. In addition, there are no people living in Yijing City.
Gongsun Zhan's proud cavalry White Horse Righteous Servant was defeated as early as the Battle of Jieqiao.
The Liangzhou army besieged Yijing City on all sides.
………………
It's dark at night!
Outside the city of Yijing!
No gram legion, the big tent of the Chinese army!
"Around Yijing City, there are dozens of mounds, and there are camps on top of the mounds, and the watchtowers and corner towers of the enemy army are staggered like dogs' teeth, and there are archers on them.
This city is really easy to defend and difficult to attack! ”
Looking around at the generals in the big tent, Zhang He asked: "The rebel Gongsun Zan is cowering on the high hill in the city, refusing to fight a decisive battle with our army!"
Storming Yijing City is not the best policy!
As you have seen, how should we take this city? ”
The generals of the Wuke Legion are busy thinking about it.
Half an hour later......
"It's not difficult to break this city!"
Li Yan seemed to have a strategy to break the enemy, and his expression was full of determination: "It's just ...... It takes a little more time. ”
The generals are happy!
"What is the best way to break the enemy......"
Zhang He, who was beaming, said loudly: "Just and quickly talk about it!"
"No matter how high the enemy's mound is, no matter how strong the camp above it is, it is still rammed with earth."
Li Yan, who had already made up his mind for a long time, looked confident in his face, and his tone was even more firm, "Yan thinks...... Our army can feign an attack on the capital of Yi, and take the opportunity to dig tunnels under the mound.
After that, our army could build a dam in the upper reaches of Yishui, divert water into the tunnel, and flood Yijing. ”
"It's a good plan!"
As soon as Li Yan's words fell, Zhang He, who was overjoyed, stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay! Just according to the right side! ”
The generals were also overjoyed!
"If Gongsun Chan knew about the military situation of building the embankment......
Wu Yi said loudly with a smile on his face: "Perhaps, when he is frightened, he will send troops from the city to disturb him."
If this is the case, our army can take the opportunity to exterminate it! ”
With a look of joy on their faces, Ling Bao, Vulture Bone, Liu Bi, and Deng Xian nodded in agreement.
Zhang He and Li Yan glanced at each other, smiled and shook their heads.
"Bud thinks that what Ziyuan said is very true!"
Seeing the look of his own general, Ling Bao was a little surprised, "Ziyuan said...... Isn't it 'if the enemy does not fight, he will be saved if he attacks him'? ”
Wu Yi, Liu Bi, and Deng Xian were also surprised and puzzled.
"What Ziyuan said is indeed reasonable!" 360 Literature Network
Zhang He explained with a smile: "It's just that you don't know Gongsun Zhan's personality!"
I know that Gongsun Chan is a human being......
This man is more than brave, but not resourceful; Rigid and self-serving, arrogant and self-contained, can treat people who have no talent and no virtue, but cannot tolerate those who are famous on their right.
In the Youzhou army, there is only one person who is coarse and strategic, and Gongsun Chan will not obey what he says. ”
Wu Yi and Ling Bao only understood a little.
"When our army captured Shanggu County, Gongsun Zhan could have fled to Jixian County, and then fled to Liaoxi County and entered Liaodong County.
This person chose to stick to Yijing City. ”
Looking around at the generals, Zhang He, whose expression was full of determination, said with a smile full of affirmation in his tone: "What?
With Gongsun Zhan's stubbornness, he thinks that he is ...... Yi Jingcheng is impregnable, impregnable, and invulnerable, so how can he worry about flooding the city?
Moreover, Gongsun Chan was in the city and had stored the grain and grass that could be used for several years, and he would only stick to the city wholeheartedly, and he would never lead his troops out of the city. ”
The generals suddenly realized!
Just when the generals of the Wuke Legion were discussing the capture of Yijing City, Gongsun Chan and his wife and concubine were singing and dancing and enjoying themselves on the highest mound.
What's more, the ingenious Gongsun Zhan also took his wife and concubine to climb the watchtower and watch the lights in the Liangzhou military camp outside the city with great interest.
Gongsun Zhan, who was complacent, didn't panic at all, let alone believe it...... The Liangzhou army can have the ability to attack the city.
That night, Guan Jing and Guoyuan wanted to meet their own lord and discuss important military matters, but Gongsun Zhan refused to go down to the mound.
It turned out that since Gongsun Chan moved into the highest mound, men over the age of seven were forbidden to enter the camp.
The innovative Gongsun Chan is really ingenious, he lets the women in the camp practice speaking loudly to convey military orders for him.
Normally, Gongsun Chan would not come down from that camp at all, nor would he communicate with his subordinates in the civil and military.
You will not live!
………………
The next hour was just after the hour!
The Liangzhou army outside the four gates of Yijing City all pulled out their camps and moved forward, and when they were three hundred steps away from this city, they re-encamped.
The Liangzhou army put the camp close to the city in order to dig tunnels as soon as possible and flood the capital of Yijing.
The soldiers of the Youzhou Army on the watchtower and corner tower in the city laughed very casually, and laughed and scolded the Liangzhou Army very comfortably.
After the Liangzhou army camped and set up camp, they began to assemble the stone cart.
An hour later, outside the four gates of Yijing City, there were nearly 100 stone carts, and stones of different sizes were already well prepared.
Zhang He sent the vulture bones to call for battle, and the soldiers of the Youzhou army who did not dare to go out of the city only dared to use their shouts and scolding on the mounds, watchtowers, and corner towers to cover up their cowardice and incompetence.
Zhang He gave an order!
With a range of 300 paces, the stone cart throws stones of different sizes to the corner towers and watchtowers above the mounds in Yijing City.
When the stone smashes the corner tower and watchtower......
Those soldiers of the Youzhou army who had no time to dodge were either smashed to pieces, or they were smashed to the point that they lacked arms and legs, or they were smashed and flew under the mound.
The heart-rending howls, the screams of ghosts and wolves, resounded one after another on the mound, and they were so terrible that they were terrifying.
At the same time, Zhang He ordered the crossbowmen to use the giant crossbow machine to snipe the soldiers of the Youzhou Army who were frightened.
Under the attack of stone carts and giant ballistas......
Some of the corner towers and watchtowers on the mounds are already in tatters; The soldiers of the Youzhou Army hiding in the building were trembling, and their lives were almost gone.
The soldiers of the Youzhou Army no longer dare to be rampant, and they no longer dare to insult the Liangzhou Army.
The Liangzhou army can wantonly scold the Youzhou army.
On this day, the Liangzhou Army was also on top of Yishui and began to hold back the water and build a dam!
In the next seven days, the Liangzhou army's stone trucks and giant crossbow machines were throwing stones and sending crossbow arrows day and night, without regularity......
Directly tortured the Youzhou army in the city to the point of being inhuman!
