In mid-July, the day after the timber yard caught fire, that is, on the fifth day of the siege, Yuan's army stopped transporting timber from the rear, and did not build siege equipment again, but instead concentrated tens of thousands of auxiliaries to transport soil, and then began to pile up mounds of earth in the east of Handan City, preparing to ram earth into a mountain.

This is a very dangerous behavior.

You must know that in a conventional sense, the siege methods in the era of cold weapons are nothing more than climbing the city wall with a ladder or using a crash to open the city gate, and all kinds of equipment are nothing more than an advanced version of these two basic equipment...... And if these two don't work, then it should be the catapult or stone cannon, which began to appear in the Warring States period.

But in fact, the stone cannons of this year have no counterweight, no pulley block, no base axle, and the production cycle is huge, and there are some technical thresholds, so from the perspective of cost performance, unless it is a last resort, this weapon rarely appears on the battlefield.

Of course, before the catapult was greatly improved, there were still several effective siege methods that replaced the fortified city, such as tunnels, such as flooding, such as fire, and among them, there was a method that appeared very many times, the effect was excellent, and it was especially concentrated in the late Han Dynasty...... That's right, it's not digging tunnels, it's not flooding, it's rammed earth mountains.

The advantage refers to the fact that the earth mountain can be stacked outside the strike range of the city wall, and it is very easy to pile up the earth mountain far beyond the height of the city wall, which is simple and safe; One of the two functions is to usurp the height advantage of the city wall, which can condescendingly suppress the city wall and create a safe area for climbing the city; The other is that the Han Dynasty rammed earth technology was developed, which is the foundation of many permanent buildings, so in the process of rammed earth and piling, the hard rammed earth mountain is constantly scared, and it will squeeze the foundation of the city wall.

Therefore, after the news of the Tushan in the eastern city came from the city wall, Guan Yu in the camp in the western city couldn't sit still for the first time.

"The general can't go!" It was Guo Fengxiao who stopped him, he was in a high-crowned sleeve shirt, standing in front of Guan Yunchang with a sword in one hand, but he was extremely sincere. "Yuan Jun didn't even hit the city gate once, and he didn't try to climb the city once, but he actually piled up the earth mountain directly, which inevitably made people suspicious, I am afraid that the general was so powerful the day before yesterday that it caused worry, so he deliberately designed ......"

"Ben will know." Guan Yunchang, who was already fully clothed, looked at the young man in front of him condescendingly. "At this time, it is too eager to pile up dirt mountains, and nine times out of ten it is that Yuan Jun wants to set up an ambush to get rid of the general. But Bong-hyo will only ask you about it...... If I don't go, what if this mountain of earth really stands? ”

Guo Jiaden was silent.

Actually, Guo Jia didn't understand that this was the same as when he raided Han Meng's military camp the night before, it belonged to something close to Yangmou?

At that time, it was Guan Yu who relied on three sorties in one day to show a combat ability that far surpassed the generals of Yuan Ying, so a strategic deterrent was formed, which made Yuan Shao have to make a corresponding strategic response to each attack of Guan Yunchang, otherwise it is very likely to suffer new substantial damage, and this kind of killing is absolutely unacceptable! But if you don't want to accept it, then you will be forced to delay the siege of the city, just like the night before.

And now, the earth mountain built on the other side of the city is actually a strategic deterrent, Guan Yu went, nine times out of ten it was an ambush, but if he didn't go, what if the earth mountain was successfully tamped? And if one doesn't go, what about two mountains? What about three?

When the time comes, not to mention the siege, even the outer camp itself will lose its strategic existence...... You must know that the reason why Guan Yunchang can attack calmly is to rely on the safe passage next to the city wall, relying on the bow and crossbow on the city wall to cover, if the earth mountain is built, Guan Yu's safe passage will also be cut off. When the time comes, you can't go out, so what is this offensive and defensive strategy?

"There are some things that shouldn't have been said," thinking of this, Guo Jia could only persuade in another way. "But the general is in danger of a battalion, if there is a slight accident on this trip, can this Handan City really be defended?"

"Not really." Guan Yunchang couldn't help but twist his head when he heard this, and slowly shook his head. "Ben will be ordered to guard Handan together with the prime minister of the country, and they have each other's words first, the affairs inside the city are his, and the affairs outside the city are in my ...... In other words, this matter is within the responsibility of the general! How can a general be ordered to die without a fight? As for if there is an accident, Feng Xiao, your previous strategy of three strikes a day is excellent, and you are a very talented person, if I die, please be sure to assist Wen Gui to take charge of this camp and stay outside! ”

Guo Jia wanted to persuade again, but Guan Yu couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Guo Jiazi, in fact, after talking for a long time, I am still just worried...... And I fought with them the day before yesterday, and I only felt that the soldiers of Yuan Jun were all like chickens and dogs, so what are you afraid of if there are ten ambushes?! Once the earth and mountains are completed, I will go to fight with Pan Wenqi, and you will defend here, so that you can have both! ”

Guo Fengxiao followed Guan Yu for a few days, how did he not know this person's temper, and he was helpless for a while, so he could only shake his head: "In this case, the general must bring more people to go, and then make contact with the minister of the city and the state." ”

"Contact is inevitable, but this general only needs a thousand people to go." Guan Yu was opposite, and then gave a reason before Guo Jia was about to object. "If it weren't for the general, if it was just to disperse the auxiliaries in front of the mountain, it wouldn't need too many soldiers and horses; secondly, there is a possibility of ambush along the movement under the city, and too many soldiers and horses are brought to the east of the city, which is cumbersome; In the end, you only thought of the ambush, but did you ever think that it would be to use the way of others to govern their bodies, and to carry out the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and wait for the general to lead the troops to the east of the city, and the Yuan army spontaneously attacked the camp? And if the camp is lost, we can only return to the city in a hurry. ”

Of course, Guo Jia thought of it, so he just persuaded the other party not to attack, but he did not dissuade the other party after he made up his mind to attack...... Or to put it simply, from the point of view of joining the army who is also in charge of military law, he has done his best.

Speaking of which, Guo Jia, who had just been crowned and had just done serious things for a few days, really admired Xun Yu at this time, the other party was also young at that time, but he moved from Yingchuan to Yecheng with thousands of people from several big families...... These things seemed really easy from Guo Jia's perspective as a teenager with bundled hair at that time, but now that he really got started to do the right thing, he found out how difficult it was to do things in a camp of 3,000 people!

Not to mention how to deal with the myriad problems in the camp as a military judge, it is just a suggestion to the general, and he has a sense of powerlessness to join the army...... Why? Because there is no such thing as a last resort, because any military action is risky, because in the end, it is up to the fight to decide everything.

Racking their brains, thinking of the greatest possibility, formulating the best plan, but still trembling after saying it, because no matter how good the strategy is, it may be a wrong judgment based on wrong perceptions, which may lead to the loss of countless human lives.

Of course, in comparison, Guo Jia knows more clearly that in this process, Guan Yu, the main general, is the most difficult! Because no matter whether you follow the advice or not, as long as you fail or fail, the other party will bear more responsibility and pay more price than you as a speaker. And when a suggestion is denied, for example, now, Guo Fengxiao is relieved.

This is not to say that Guo Jia deliberately evaded responsibility, but Guan Yu knew that the other party was timid as a young man, and he took the initiative to take everything as a general - this battle was unavoidable.

"Gongtai, do you think Guan Yunchang will come?" The weather was sweltering, but Yuan Benchu sat at the back of the rammed earth mountain construction site in the east of the city early, and then looked at the sky and sighed, sitting with him was only one Chen Gong who was supposed to go to Qinghe to raid his house and kill people but had to stay because of this strategy.

"What does Ming Gong think?" Chen Gong sat on one side, his face expressionless.

"I think it's going to come." Yuan Shao sighed faintly. After all, he is the favorite general under Gongsun Wenqi, and Duke Fu and these Hebei locals all say that his temperament is unique to Gongsun Wenqi, and Wu Yong is similar to Zhang Yide before the Tiger Prison...... Although I don't know what kind of person he is, since he is different from Gongsun Wenqi, he will definitely come. ”

"Ming Gong still can't forget the white horse thief......"

"What White Horse Thief? It's just a slogan for war, he's a thief, what am I, Yuan Benchu? ”

“……”

"Moreover, I am not obsessed, but I have been jealous and envious many years ago."

"Jealous of his subordinates understands, but what did Ming Gong envy him many years ago?" Chen Gong disagreed. "At that time, the fourth and third dukes of the Ming Dynasty sat on the hope of the world, and Gongsun Wenqi was just a famous general of the county on one side, if it wasn't for the death of He Jin, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and his people were holding the male soldiers of the north, and suddenly they rose, where would it be the turn of this kind of person to fight for the world with the Ming Duke?"

"Can't you envy his people for being free and capricious, and unscrupulous?" Yuan Shao replied slowly. "I have been weak and filial piety for six years, and I have lived in seclusion in Luoyang for several years, and I have been sitting still for more than ten years, with far-reaching plans, why don't I envy him in my heart for being sharp and unscrupulous? And if it weren't for the fact that in the past ten years, he has ruled the military strategy, or shepherded one side, or unified the army to settle the chaos, why would he use his troops like an arm to make a finger when the matter started, but I was lagging behind for a while? ”

Chen Gong also couldn't help but sigh: "Ming Gong is still worried about Ji Yong and Cui Yan the day before yesterday?" ”

"Not bad." Yuan Shao immediately bowed his head. "The day before yesterday, in fact, I also knew that I had a little bit of it, but as a general of the chariot cavalry, commanding three states and nineteen counties, one of the four parts of the world, and issuing such a military order in front of everyone in the army, how could it be changed? Cui Jiqi knew that he couldn't do it, but he folded me in person, didn't he know that in military affairs, the winner is the king, and the loser is the loser...... Gaozu Lu abandoned his children and passed on the world for 400 years, but King Xiang was invincible but could only see the style in the history books, which is better or worse? ”

Chen Gong was silent again.

"Gongtai, I didn't tell you in advance the day before yesterday, not to unite with the old people to deliberately knock on you local people, but because you people have never fought a real big defeat, and you don't know what life and death are, and you don't know what life and death are tied to honor and disgrace......" Yuan Shao held the other party's hand with his hand and said earnestly. Just think about it, no matter Gongsun Wenqi or me, once defeated, at most I will be a Xiang King, and once I am Xiang Wang, I will be at most Fan Zeng, Long And, Xiang Bo and other figures, not only is it not known, but it will be degraded as incompetent by future people because of success or failure! The big war is ahead, we must unite as one! ”

Chen Gong was half embarrassed and half helpless, but this time he didn't get angry with the other party anymore, but slowly bowed his head: "What Ming Gong said is very true, but his subordinates don't know the severity!" ”

Yuan Shao was about to speak again, but suddenly saw the red flag on the stage in the distance shaking, but he suddenly raised his knife: "The dragon is here!" ”

Chen Gong also got up in response: "My subordinates are going to prepare, be sure to leave this dragon here!" ”

With the words of the two, they worked hard for most of the day, only a thin layer was padd, and the highest point was only as high as the rammed earth general, and the auxiliary soldiers withdrew one after another. At the same time, there was a sudden commotion in the tightly sheltered camp behind Yuan Shao, and then the fence was released, and countless armor soldiers poured out again, surrounding this high platform.

At the same time, the entire Yuan camp was completely shaken, and no less than twenty selected soldiers poured out one after another...... The so-called ambush strategy from all sides is just a layer of blocking, layer by layer of reduction, and the final blow is just fatal, which is indeed suitable for dealing with the invincible heroes.

——— I'm the uncomfortable dividing line of collapse———

"Shao and Guan Yu battled, from Xin Commentary, ambush strategy on all sides, in the east of Handan City, Tushan, heard that Guan Yu went out of the west camp of the city, in order to get a plan, he smiled and said: 'The dragon is the best, and the baby can be irrigated!' Yu both went out of the camp, saw Yuan Ying's movement, knew that there was an ambush, joined the army Guo Jiazhi, Yu Gu said: 'The local chicken and the dog are vulnerable, when will they win or lose?' I haven't heard of Zhao Kuo's beheading of Wu Anjun! 'Fighting. —The Book of Old Swallows. Volume sixty-nine. Biography XIX

PS: I didn't sleep all night, I was really stumped by Guan Yu's plot, and the whole person also felt a little collapsed, not that Guan Yu was invincible, but at least he had to be more compelled than Gongsun Zhan...... wrote a 7,000-word article, but deleted half of it, because I always felt that the plot was seriously homogeneous with Gongsun Zhan, and I was afraid of being scolded if I didn't want to send it.

Then I was sick with my whole person, and once Calvin was socially afraid, my phone and QQ rang and I was frightened. In short, it feels like there are many aspects, maybe the last stop also caused some kind of brain disconnection.

It's currently 104k this month.,I don't know how many words I can have in the end.,I'll try my best to adjust it back and give you an explanation...... I'm also tormented by this situation.
