"General Huang, I have 5,000 soldiers with you, and in the past few days, you are responsible for leading the troops to call the soldiers under the city to cover the soldiers of Wen Ze's subordinates to take the land. If the enemy dares to leave the city, you must intercept them as soon as possible! ”

"Huang Zhong has an order!"

Huang Zhong had already inquired, this Huang Quan's martial arts were average, if he really dared to go out of the city to meet the enemy, Huang Zhong just stretched his muscles. Huang Quan must not be allowed to return to the city!

Soon the two generals were ordered to go down, and for a time a labor army of 10,000 people appeared outside Chengdu! Yu Ban led the team, and Liu Cong was not there to point out. Liu Cong was also inspired by Cao Cao's attack on Fancheng and Liao Hua's erection of trebuchets on the hill northeast of Luocheng.

The reason why Huang Quan resisted stubbornly was because the city wall of Chengdu was solid enough. Aren't you solid, I built a mountain of earth, and then set up a catapult on the mountain, directly smashing the buildings in the city, most of the military camps and equipment and warehouses near this city wall are smashed for a few days, see you Huang Quan is distressed? In addition, after the earth hill is fortified, the archers can go up the earth hill and confront the defenders on the city wall.

If you continue to consume like this, see who can hold on!

Yu Ban is worthy of being a general, and he is indeed good at commanding the troops, and 10,000 people were divided into several shares by him, and the soil from the small dirt slope near the barracks was taken nearby, and the soil that came out of the ditch near the camp came in handy.

In order to reduce the amount of labor, Liu Cong ordered more than a dozen catapults, first sinking a large number of stones into the moat like blocking the city gate before! Cut off the running water, and then let Yu Ban's men pour soil into it. Huang Zhong led 5,000 elite soldiers to defend the central axis from the city gate to his own camp.

Seeing the strange actions of the enemy army outside the city, someone immediately went to tell Huang Quan, who came to the city wall again to check for a while, and then turned to leave. A common practice used when the siege enters a stalemate when filling the moat. Liu Cong did this, which showed that he was also anxious, admitting that the siege had reached a stalemate. As long as the soldiers on the city walls are on guard, there is no problem.

Huang Quan's main concern now is how many recruits he can recruit in the city. Without Liu Zhang in charge, the effect is really hard to say. Once the people of the whole city know that they are determined to resist and replace Liu Zhang, they are afraid that it will be more troublesome. So he's going to hurry!

In this way, on the first day of the siege, Liu Cong stopped working after smashing for an hour, and both the enemy and us went separately.

In the evening, Liu Cong summoned him and the guards of the three gates: "After you return to the camp, you will distribute the soldiers under you, rest in the first half of the night, and light more torches in the second half of the night to feint and attack the city gate." Repeat this for a few days, wait for my new order! ”

Due to the approaching summer, it was late in the dark in Chengdu, and both the attackers and the defenders were nervous for several days and showed fatigue. The soldiers besieging the remaining three gates of Chengdu rested early after receiving Liu Cong's order.

After the third watch......

"Report, report to the general, the enemy army at the north gate has launched an attack, and there are about more than 10,000 people!"

"But more than 10,000 people are attacking the city, why bother to report, let the soldiers of each battalion perform their duties!" Huang Quan was very impatient when he was woken up in his sleep.

"Report, report to the general, there is an enemy attack at the south gate, about more than 10,000 people!"

"Report, report to the general, there is an enemy attack at the West Gate, there are about more than 10,000 people!"

"In this dark night, they could not see the number of enemy troops, and standing on the city wall, they could only count the number of torches and the size of the phalanx by virtue of experience.

Well, 30,000 people were dispatched for a night attack? Interesting! Huang Quan immediately got up: "Someone, what's the situation at the East Gate?" ”

"Report to the general, the east gate is pitch black, and there is no movement!"

"Didn't even the people who carried the soil move?"

"Yes!"

How could a night raid not be accompanied by the East Gate? Could it be that you want to cover it up? Could this Liu Cong not be able to attack from the east gate at night?

"Pass my order, the soldiers stationed at the east gate cheer up, and once something happens, report it immediately!"

Huang Quan, who had been tired all day, soon fell asleep again, and this time no one came to wake him up again until dawn.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to call someone in for questioning, for fear of missing any important military information.

"General, the three gates were all feints last night, and the east gate is as quiet as ever!"

Huang Quan was a little relieved, there are 10,000 each of the three gates, and there are only 30,000 people at the east gate, it seems that there are no less than 10,000 people who take the soil and fill the river.

This was the case for three days in a row, but the difference was that when the fourth Huang Quan stood on the wall of the east gate, he found that the moat was filled in the middle of the city with hundreds of steps. In other words, the focus of Liu Cong's attack is still the east gate, and the width of 200 steps will be the only way for siege equipment and soldiers to rush under the city wall. Huang Quan took some former men and horses from each of the other three gates to reinforce the east gate in case of an emergency!

On the fourth day, there was nothing to do during the day, and there was a feint at night.

On the fifth day, there was nothing to do during the day, and at night the three gates feintmed.

When the sixth day came, Huang Quan stood on the city wall, only to find that the enemy army was still carrying earth and stones, but instead of continuing to fill in the moat, it was piling up some distance outside the moat. The small dirt slope is also two sections in the north and south, each with a hundred steps long.

What are the enemy trying to do? Huang Quan really didn't understand what Liu Cong wanted for a while, but since Liu Cong did not attack the city, he continued to go to the city to personally appease those big families, and at the same time supervise the conscription. These days, due to some rumors, Huang Quan is very passive. Rumors say that Huang Quan was not satisfied with Liu Cong's arrangement, was unwilling to be relegated to a county under Liu Cong, and refused to surrender if he wanted to be a pastor of Yizhou.

Of course, more people know that Liu Zhang is already in Liu Cong's camp and submits to Liu Cong. Huang Quan estimated that those rumors were organized and spread by Deng Xian and others, but because there was no evidence, it was not appropriate to have any more civil strife at this time, so he did not arrest people. As for Liu Xun, Huang Quan thought that he might have bought off a certain garrison and escaped from the city.

"Report, report to the general, the enemy army at the east gate has begun to attack the city!"

"Huh? Is it finally here? "This is the sixth day, and for the first time during the day I have heard of the enemy siege. Huang Quan came to the city wall of the east gate with a little nervousness, and the moment he boarded the city wall, he was immediately shocked by the situation outside the city.

Two small dirt slopes have become wider and longer, and the dirt slopes are full of catapults, and under the catapults are full of archers. In the middle of the two sections of the mound, a veteran general led thousands of men and horses to wait for the battle!

"I see, I see!" Huang Quan patted the dirt on his body, and finally understood what Liu Cong had done in the past few days.

The slope was almost exactly within the range of the archers. The height is two-thirds the height of the city wall. Then set up a catapult, and as soon as the stone was thrown, his own castle tower and urn city were all within the firing range. If you lead your troops to charge, the infantry in the middle, as well as the archers on the dirt slopes, will greet you!

Soon, the dirt slope moved up and down!

The stones on the outside are being carried out, and the stones on the slope are constantly smashing stones into the city of Chengdu! Since it was the first day, in order to prevent Huang Quan from leaving the city, only eight catapults were erected on the dirt slope, but even if there were eight of them, it was very scary to start them together, and the stones that were originally thrown on the wall or at the foot of the city wall were now whizzing over the heads of the soldiers defending the city.

Some of the faint men were so frightened that they retreated, and inside the city, soon some buildings were hit, and then some incendiary objects were thrown into the towers and the city.

How can you attack a city like this? It's not that Huang Quan has little knowledge. But this Chengdu is located in the plain, and I have never seen a siege of a mountain.

But fortunately, it is only one place at the east gate, if it is like this on all sides......

This time, about an hour later, as usual, Liu Cong ordered to stop the attack, and came to the front of the battle again to ask Huang Quan to talk.

"Huang Quan, you have also seen it, if you resist stubbornly, the whole Chengdu will become a sea of fire, and you will be a sinner for the ages!"

At this time, Liu Cong learned a lesson, and after he finished speaking, he immediately turned behind him, and let the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him shout in unison: "Sinners through the ages!" Sinners through the ages! ”

"Surrender quickly, surrender quickly, or Chengdu will be burned!"

"Burn Chengdu, burn Chengdu!"

was so frightened that Liu Zhang ran out of the camp tent to persuade Liu Cong.

Liu Cong's move is still a heart attack, such an earth-shattering shout will naturally loosen the hearts of the soldiers defending the city, and make the people in the city even more resentful of Huang Quan. They don't want to see Liu Cong burn Chengdu because of Huang Quan's stubbornness.

If he really wants to burn Chengdu, Liu Cong is just leaving some infamy, and his net worth and life may be ruined!

An hour later, the siege continues!

After another hour, the slogan continued.

And just like that, a new day has passed!

"Pass my general order, let Fa Zheng shout outside the West Gate after dark today, and say that he will take care of his feelings and allow ordinary people to flee from the West Gate......

"The lord's clever plan, as soon as this move comes out, Chengdu will be in chaos!" Fa Zheng listened to it and praised it again and again.

This law was originally engaged in Yizhou, and now Liu Cong wants to burn Chengdu, but Huang Quan is stubborn and does not surrender, and he is a good person to allow the people to flee.

Some timid people will surely gather at the West Gate, and the defenders of the city will certainly not be reassured, so chaos will be inevitable. In the next few days, the news spread, and the people who suffered from the disaster at the east gate will definitely flock to the west gate. At that time, if Huang Quan sends troops to stop him again, someone will take a risk!

"Zilong, you lead 10,000 troops to defend the camp of the Chinese army, and the rest of the soldiers will start to join tomorrow to take the earth and build the mountain!" Since the earth mountain is effective, Liu Cong is going to continue to build the earth mountain at the east gate, but this time no longer fill the moat, it must be much easier, wait for all the catapults to be added, and then step by step towards the city wall, widening and heightening!

In this way, Liu Cong's army of 60,000, the remaining three gates of 15,000 people, Zhao Yunzhong's army of 10,000, Huang Zhong led 5,000 troops, and the rest all participated in the transportation of soil and stones, and the speed was significantly accelerated. On the eighth day, there was another section of dirt slope in the north and south, and between the soil slopes were heavily armed armor soldiers to prevent the enemy from rushing out, and on the soil slope were a large number of catapults in Liu Cong's army.

The eighth day is also the limit of Huang Quan. The chaotic war of the northern princes he was counting on did not happen as expected, at least not to force Liu Cong back. The city was in chaos because of its feint attack with the three gates and the release of people at the west gate, and at first it was only a few timid people, but as many buildings at the east gate were burned, more and more people fled. They wanted to go out, but Huang Quan naturally refused.
