147. Mounds of Earth

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will order someone to dig up the mountain!" ”

"The main attack is slow! It's better to keep the matter a secret! In addition, the mountain pile needs to be carried out at night, and at the same time, it is necessary to platoon cavalry to protect the perimeter in case the city is destroyed by troops! Han Fei added.

Liu Bei nodded in agreement, and immediately summoned Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and asked Guan Yu to send people to dig the ground and extract soil in the back camp, and then ordered Zhang Fei to take people to collect boulders, which had been used by catapults.

After assigning the task, everyone acted together, but Han Fei did not participate. After staying up all night last night, and now that sleepiness hits, Han Fei just wants to hurry back to the tent and sleep well.

When Han Fei woke up, he was already in charge of the lamp, and when Chen Zhi saw him get up, he hurriedly brought over dinner. "Uncle, have you all eaten it?" Han Fei asked as he ate.

"Lord, we've all eaten!" Chen Zhi replied truthfully.

"That uncle, don't call me my lord anymore, just call me by my name or cousin!" Han Fei said to Chen Dao.

"It's not good! Or I'll call you sir! ”

"Poof!" Han Fei squirted out the porridge he had just drunk in his mouth, "Ahem! Uncle, you did it on purpose! Forget it, you can call me Childe in the future! You don't have to speak, it's settled! ”

"It's not Childe, I want to say that your porridge is spilled!"

Han Fei: ......

After dinner, Han Fei took Chen Zhi and Sun Wu to Liu Bei's sleeping tent, but the guards guarding the tent told Han Fei that Liu Bei was not in the tent, but went to the back camp.

So Han Fei turned around and rushed to the back camp, and when he arrived, he saw that this was a terrible place, the back camp was full of busy scenes, and the surrounding lights and balls lit up here as if it were daytime. Han Fei saw Liu Bei in the crowd, so he hurried over. "Lord, what's going on here?"

"After an afternoon, a lot of soil has been dug up, but I really can't say how high the mountain can be piled up!" Liu Bei replied.

Han Fei thought for a while and said, "The place above the dirt mountain can't be too small, at least three catapults must be placed, plus there must be archers shooting arrows on it!" However, we don't necessarily have to pile up the dirt and mountains tonight, as long as we see that no one destroys it, it will take a few days. ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "I will arrange for the third brother to be responsible for protecting the surrounding areas of Tushan, and if someone comes out of the city, he will be responsible for intercepting it!" ”

"So it's the best, when will the lord start to build the mountain?"

"Starting tonight, I've asked the soldiers to load the earth into the wagon, and I'll be there in a moment! This saves a lot of time! Liu Bei continued.

"It's still thoughtful to the lord, then I'll go back and wait for the son to come back!"

"Don't! Zicong, you're here, go over there and command them to dig the soil, look at it, don't dig too deep! ”

"Ugh! All right! Han Fei was reluctantly arrested, and came over to direct the people here to dig out the soil. Coincidentally, these people are the ones I saw last night.

Han Fei walked over to the Wu Commander and said, "How is it?" How much soil has been dug up?

"Army, army, military division?" Wu Chang exclaimed.

"Yes, I'm here to supervise your work!" Han Fei looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile.

Listening to Han Fei's words, Wu Chang smirked and said, "Hehe, we are all very happy to be able to work with the military master." Rest assured, Master Strategist, we will be able to complete the mission! ”

"You're great, you're all great! Rest assured, I'll bring you all home safely! Han Fei assured.

The process of plucking the soil is very fast, and it seems that it is almost time. The soldiers loaded all the soil into the car, and then took advantage of the dead of night to leave the city and go straight to the city of Shouchun.

Naturally, the mound of dirt can't be too close to the city. So according to Han Fei's request, the dirt mountain was piled up at a distance of ten meters from the moat. This is also Han Fei's cleverness, as the earth mountain gets higher and higher, his area will naturally expand, and the moat will probably have to be filled in by this earth mountain. Of course, it won't be possible tonight alone.

And there is not so much soil in the back camp, today is just for secrecy, so I plucked soil in the camp, and tomorrow I can go to the nearby mountains to dig earth and stones as filling!

Without further ado, this night was full of people and horses, and at dawn the earth mountain was already about three zhang high, and the area of the earth mountain was huge, and thousands of people could stand on the top of the mountain.

As the sky brightened, there was an exclamation on the head of Shouchun City. A soldier hurriedly went to report to Qiaorui that he learned. Qiao Rui was full of triumph in his first victory yesterday, and he was also surprised after receiving the report. He didn't care about putting on his armor and came to the head of the city, and when he looked down, there was a dirt mountain on the other side of the moat, which was already three zhang high.

When he saw Tushan, he immediately felt bad, could it be that Liu Beijun was going to use that siege equipment to directly smash the boulder into the city? What a good thing that is! No, I have to report it to the Lord as soon as possible, and it is best to send someone to destroy this dirt mountain!

Thinking of this, Qiao Rui turned back and got out of the city, and went straight to the palace. Although Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already approached the city, Yuan Shu in the palace did not feel any danger. The reason is very simple, this Shouchun City is built by him with a lot of money, the four walls are six feet and two feet high, and the city walls are all made of big bluestone, and there is a layer inside and outside.

Not only that, but there are all kinds of defensive equipment in the city, and there are a million sharp arrows alone! There is also a lot of stock of other rolling wood and kerosene. Then there is the army, there are 100,000 infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry in Shouchun City! These are all elite soldiers under Yuan Shu, and they are also his biggest reliance!

Then there was food, and Yuan Shu dug two underground palaces when he built Shouchun City, one of which was under his current palace. The other is in the granary in the south of the city! At this moment, the underground palace under the granary is already full of grain, which is enough for the whole army and civilians for a year!

With these preparations, Yuan Shu was not afraid of Cao Liu's attack, and he didn't even go to the head of the city, so he was relieved to hand it over to Qiao Rui and Ji Ling to deal with.

But seeing Qiao Rui's anxious expression this morning, Yuan Shu's heart sighed for no reason! "Isn't it, Liu Beijun is coming in?"

"Qiao Aiqing, what are you doing in a hurry to see me this morning?" Yuan Shu sat on the main hall and asked.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Just last night, Liu Beijun piled up a mountain of soil outside the city, and if he was allowed to pile up the mountain of soil, the east gate would be in no danger to defend! ”

"And this thing!? What about Yi Aiqing? Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, the only way to do this is to go out of the city, destroy its strategy, and completely bulldoze this piled up of dirt to ensure that the east gate is worry-free!" Qiao Rui offered a plan.

Yuan Shu nodded after hearing this, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and go to General Qing and Lord Sikong!" ”
