Chapter 259: The Method of Attacking the Heart

Tiger Prison Pass ushered in a rare half-day of cleanliness, and those soldiers guarding the pass seemed to be a little unaccustomed to this kind of quietness, and always felt that something was missing, and the shouts and killings here in the past were deafening! Could it be that the enemy army has retreated, but the soldiers of Liu Yi, who are still busy, immediately made them give up this idea, looking at them as if they had brought some siege weapons again, but all this is not important, the important thing is that they can rest for a while now! Although Gao Shun suffered great losses, it was not easy to close the defenders, and they were exhausted by the high-intensity battles in the past few days!

The time of purification obviously will not last long, Liu Yijun did not stop the pace of tackling key problems as they wished, but changed the way, the original flow of people like a tide turned into a boulder falling from the sky! Although the stones fired by the small sky-bombing cannon a few days ago were also quite lethal, the soldiers were used to this kind of intensity, and they also summed up the experience of dodging! Now the number of flying stones is much less, the size is not the same, almost every piece has about 100 catties, the stone chips splashed on the close can hurt people, and the rolling is even more terrible, even the strong battlements were smashed down by this boulder, and the defenders of the city head suffered heavy casualties under the surprise!

In this era, the large sky-bombing cannon of the Vermilion Bird Battalion is undoubtedly a cutting-edge weapon, which can throw more than 100 catties of boulders out of 250 steps, and the accuracy is excellent, it can be said that it is the crystallization of manual technology, the workmanship is complex and sophisticated, so the number is not much, Gao Shun brought a total of 20 this time. As a good attacker, he can feel the power of this siege weapon, each bombardment cannon must be matched with twenty soldiers, the pull of the long pole is a combination of manpower and animal power, and the frequency of fire also has a fixed limit to ensure its service life!

The huge power is not without a price, the weakness of the large bombardment cannon is that it moves slowly, in the siege war, what it is most afraid of is the surprise attack of the enemy, so that it cannot be moved lightly when it cannot fully control the situation on the battlefield, and Tai Shici's personal guard battalion is also guarding their safety.

The arrows used by Liu Yijun today are also different from the past, they are all made of bamboo, and there is basically no lethality, but the arrows are wrapped in a white cloth and there are ink stains on them! The literate soldier on the gate took a look, and it was written the news of the fall of Luoyang and the annihilation of Guo Yan's army, and there was even a sentence encouraging the defenders to sacrifice the city gate and the bounty was rich! Although Zhang Ji had made it very clear to the soldiers before the war, people would always have hope, and now the shattering of this hope has also hit the morale of the defenders.

Zhang Ji was sitting in the study of the mansion at this time, and there were two silk silks on the desk in front of him, one was shot into the city by Liu Yijun's arrows, and the other was from Chen Liu! His brows furrowed as his face sank, and the cessation of Gao Shun's attack not only did not make him happy, but made him even more embarrassed.

If the enemy army keeps attacking and maintaining huge pressure on the city pass, the soldiers will not think too much when they are nervous, but now once they do not attack directly, they will think a lot after they relax down, especially when all their back roads have been cut off, and their morale is gradually depressed.

What made him even more anxious was the safety of Congzi, among these silk silks, it had been clearly stated that Guo Yan was killed and Zhang Xiu was captured, although he was determined to die with Guan! But his family is his only eagerness now, but he doesn't know what Gao Shun is thinking?

Since he guarded the Tiger Pass, Chen Liu's Cao Cao has never stopped fighting for him, favors, and temptations, and he is still sending him letters recently, willing to send him food and military supplies, and even send troops to support him to defend the Tiger Pass! Zhang Ji didn't accept these, anyway, he had already made up his mind, if he really wanted to serve Cao Cao, it would be better to serve Liu Yi now, at least Liu Langsheng's kindness to surrender would be worthy of the name, and Gao Shun under the gate is the best proof!

Congzi Zhang Xiu made him anxious, his beloved wife and mother in Chang'an City made him worried, and the current battle situation in the tiger prison made him even more worried, how can all kinds of problems intertwined make people feel worried? After pondering for a long time, Zhang Ji suddenly had an idea that made him laugh, now he has to compete with Chang'an Li Dao to see who can defend longer, if Chang'an falls before the fall of the Tiger Prison, maybe there will be a turnaround! Thinking of this, it seems that the spirit has come again, Zhang Ji got up, and after putting on it, he went to the pass, and he also wanted to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers and keep this tiger for a longer time.

Zhang Ji is certainly in a dilemma, Liu Yi in Luoyang City is not easy, and now the entire area in the north of Luoyang City has become a field hospital for the army, and tens of thousands of wounded are also testing Liu Yijun's logistics ability. Under Zhang Hu's full arrangement, food, medicine, and personnel were continuously sent into Luoyang, which was once the capital of the Han Dynasty. These people, together with Liu Yijun, the medical officer, worked hard for the injuries and lives of the soldiers, and they also became the most respected people in the army.

Got Zhang Xiu's promise, coupled with the implementation of the Tian'er plan, Liu Yi was not in a hurry to attack Hangu Pass, there are still many things in front of him, the ambush of Niu Fu that day, a total of more than 10,000 soldiers were captured, as long as the ideological and political work is done in place, these people are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they can be replenished to the battalions immediately! For this reason, Liu Yi carried forward the advantages of our army's preferential treatment of prisoners and effective education and reform, and patiently did persuasion work for these people, not only to eliminate the shadow of the defeated generals in their hearts, but also to make them willingly surrender. Obviously, this work was fruitful, and afterwards Zhang Liaohuaxiong greatly admired the master's hand.

What convinced them was more than this, inspecting the wounded barracks was an old tradition for Liu Yi, and every time after the war, the first thing he did was almost the same! In the evening, Liu Yi's figure would keep shuttling through the camp, and all kinds of laughter would come out from the camp tent he entered, many soldiers were taken for granted, but many Lang Zhong saw a general who was so kind to them for the first time!

"Now Liao knows why as soon as the lord arrives on the battlefield, the soldiers have to stand up and bite the enemy even if they are exhausted." This is Zhang Liao's emotion to Hua Xiong after accompanying Liu Yi to inspect the wounded barracks for the first time, and Hua Xiong also nodded again and again when he heard this, and he thought it was true.

With the full support of Zhang Hu and others and the efforts of the generals, the situation in the wounded barracks and prisoner camps is getting better and better, Liu Yi's mood is also much lighter, and the battle report delivered in the evening makes him even happier.

"Hahaha, they really have a hand, Wen Yuan, you immediately send people to find the families of the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass in Luoyang City, so that they can persuade their relatives to surrender, and our army should be rewarded!" This is Guo Jia's strategy according to the embattled, Liu Yi deeply agrees, no one can understand the propaganda war more profoundly than him, Guo Jia's plan includes all kinds of methods that everyone thinks of together, and the focus of the attack is the morale of the defenders!

"Hehe, a few days ago, I heard Zilong talk about the trip to Xiliang, Guo Junshi once said to Ma Taishou that the attack is the top and the siege is the bottom, and now I think that Guo Junshi is the plan to attack the heart of the Tiger Prison Pass, Liao admires it, and I will do it immediately." Zhang Liao immediately understood when he heard this, and stood up and smiled.

"Wen Yuan's words are yes, Feng Xiao's move is to attack without attacking, and this alone can be tens of thousands of male soldiers!" Liu Yi also said with a smile, and Zhang Liao immediately went to handle it!

"Lord, this Tiger Prison Pass is indeed extraordinary, this time my Qinglong Camp has suffered a lot of losses, are your more than 10,000 soldiers transferred to me?" Zhou Cang said at this time, those captives were all well-trained elite soldiers, how could he not be greedy?

"Bo Ming, you are cunning, why didn't you mention it when General Zhang was here?" Before Liu Yi could speak, Yan Gang had already rushed to say that his White Horse Camp was also short of people!

"General Yan, look at what you said, this person has more porridge and less porridge!" Zhou Cang didn't care about the big brother's ridicule, and he said it very calmly.

"That's right, my lord, my White Horse Camp is also in urgent need of manpower!" Yan Gang said.

"General Yan, you are all cavalry, and here are all foot soldiers!" Zhou Cang was a little anxious when he saw it, and he walked one after another, and immediately spoke.

"What's wrong with the foot soldiers, isn't it enough to practice?" Yan Gang didn't let it go at all.

"You talk slowly, Lao Tzu is going to sleep, Liu Qi, I will be the first to inform me if there is news from Chang'an." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he got up and left, regardless of the arguments of the generals in the camp, now what he was most eager for was the information of Chang'an, but he didn't know that a storm was coming against him!
