Finally, there are Cao Ren and Liu Bei who need to be described.

Let's talk about Cao Ren first, when he attacked Taishan County, he was very clear about his positioning. That is to restrain Zang Ba and prevent him from having a chance to support Xu Rong.

As for taking Taishan County, Cao Ren felt that it was unlikely.

Because last time, Cao Cao personally went out to fight, with the support of Liu Ye and Wang Daochang, and did not take Taishan County.

Therefore, when Cao Ren was fighting Taishan County, he was passive and slacked off, and after fighting for half a month, both sides did not damage many people.

At this time, a big flood buried the lives of Xiahoudun and 30,000 Yanzhou soldiers.

After the news came, Cao Ren didn't say a word and immediately withdrew from the army.

Zang Ba didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he didn't pursue and let Cao Ren retreat safely.

And Liu Bei, with his two brothers and military advisors, came to Lujiang County proudly.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both people who like heads-up.

Guan Yu also likes sneak attacks, but he doesn't say a word, and it's a knife when he goes up.

So Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took turns to run to Lujiang City to challenge.

Xue Rengui's personal martial arts are no less than the two of them. But now it's a national war, not a competition on the school field. So close the gates and not fight at all.

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang for advice.

Zhuge Liang is a person who is good at fire attack, and his debut in history was the burning of Bowangpo.

But now Xue Rengui can't go out of retreat, and he doesn't have the conditions to set fire.

Zhuge Liang is also good at arranging formations, and the eight-gate golden lock array he arranged can block 100,000 soldiers of Eastern Wu.

But in the same way, even if he sets up a good formation, Xue Rengui just won't come out, what can you do?

Zhuge Liang's debut this time sat on wax. He said to Liu Bei: "I have designed several siege equipment, make them first, and try to capture the city." ”

So, Liu Bei was patient and waited for about 10 days.

In these 10 days, Zhuge Liang gathered many craftsmen from Jingzhou to make all kinds of siege equipment.

Ten days later, Liu Bei's army officially began to attack the city.

The first thing to use is: Pro Car. It is taken from the meaning of ascending to the distance, which is that the besieging party wants to see the reality in the city, and use this guy to climb high to see the city.

The Linche, also called the Nest Car, is a small wooden house that is hung up with a horizontal bar. There are eight small wheels underneath that can be pushed and walked.

The soldiers who watched from the lookout hid in small houses and observed the situation in the city from a high place.

The soldier reported to Zhuge Liang while watching, the city was busy, but orderly. It was the people who carried food and hot water. The Liaodong soldiers were very kind to the people, and the people were not afraid, and they still smiled.

Zhang Fei's face darkened when he heard this, and he reprimanded: "Let you observe the military situation, what are you looking at?" ”

The soldier was very aggrieved and said, "There is no war yet, and this is what I see." ”

Generally speaking, there is only one watchman in the watchtower, who holds a white flag, and the flag is rolled up when the enemy is on alert, and if the enemy is attacking, the flag is spread out, and the flagpole is placed horizontally when the enemy is approaching, and the flag is slowly raised if the enemy retreats.

But in the 5,6-meter-high watchtower, the soldiers shouted, and the people below could still hear it.

Zhuge Liang didn't know where to find a feather fan, saying that if Zhuge Liang didn't shake the feather fan, he always felt that it was not authentic enough.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said calmly: "Let's get on the car."

The roof of the car is covered with cowhide, waterproof and fireproof. Soldiers can hide in their cars to avoid being hurt by the defenders.

The masked car is shaped like a moving house. The wooden frame is thick, the planks are thick, and the outer cover is covered with raw cowhide to resist the blows of stone arrows.

The masked cart had wheels, and the soldiers could push and walk in it. Much like it is a pointed wooden donkey! The top of the head is pointed, and as long as the stones that fall from the city do not happen to hit the top, there is generally not much loss!

The defenders have a hook that allows them to flip off the roof of the car and attack the attacking soldiers in the car. But that needs to be close to the bottom of the city walls to do so.

It is said that Liu Bei's soldiers, pushing the cart, approached the moat and began to fill the river.

Originally, the soldiers on the city wall, looking at these fresh utensils, were very interested and chattering.

But now that I look at it, it's not good, the Jingzhou soldiers are going to fill the moat. Then you can't be watching, it's important to say.

The lieutenant consulted Xue Rengui and began to command the bed crossbow on the city wall, and the stone thrower moved.

Iron spears and stones the size of human heads landed precisely on the covered chariot. The huge momentum either knocked the car down, or smashed it down.

But Zhuge Liang prepared a lot of blind cars. Bed crossbows on the city walls, stone throwers are limited.

So, the moat, visible to the naked eye, is gradually filled. Of course, the Jingzhou soldiers also paid the price of blood. Hundreds of soldiers were smashed into flesh by large rocks that fell from the sky. Inside the overturned chariot, unobstructed soldiers were revealed, and then crossbow arrows rained down from the city.

The distance is so close that basically no one can run away.

In this way, after paying the price of hundreds of dead and wounded soldiers, the moat was filled with a section more than a hundred meters long.

Before charging, Zhuge Liang also tried to smash the city wall with a bed crossbow and a stone thrower.

His bed crossbow and stone thrower are the style taught by Guiguzi four hundred years ago. It is equivalent to the first generation of similar products in Liaodong.

The power is very average, and for the stone walls of Lujiang City, there is no use for fart.

The city wall of Lujiang City was transformed by Xue Rengui into a combination of bluestone and cement. It is more than 9 meters high and 6 meters wide. You can put down a bed crossbow and a stone thrower.

As you can imagine, like a stone mountain, without explosives, the walls cannot be broken at all.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan again and stopped shooting and throwing stones. Go directly to the well and ladder trucks.

These two things, although they have wheels, still need soldiers to push them. Of course, the soldier can hide in the car, and the bow and arrow cannot be shot.

Xue Rengui was prepared, he asked people to use a stone thrower to throw down a lot of thistles.

The four corners of the thistle terrestris, after landing, there will always be a sharp corner facing upward.

The Jingzhou soldiers who pushed the cart suffered, and accidentally stepped on an iron thistle. Immediately penetrated the boot, penetrated the instep. All the way, all the way to the blood. You can only stop.

Zhuge Liang also has an anti-cracking method, that is, to let the soldiers only love to tie thick planks to the soles of their feet, so that they can not be pierced.

After tossing like this, the Jingzhou soldiers lost several hundred more. These thistles terrestris, but they are all rusty, according to the medical conditions of the late Han Dynasty, tetanus is certain. If these soldiers don't saw off their feet, they will die! But now the situation seen is that bandaging is the mainstay, and who will see off their feet if there is nothing to do? Besides, if there is a military doctor who can think of sawing feet, he will naturally cut open the wound and take out the iron filings, and there is no need to saw his feet.

After another hour of tossing, the well and the ladder truck successfully reached the city wall.

The iron hook on the top of the ladder has been put on the city wall, and it will soon be firmly fixed on the city wall! Jingzhou soldiers began to climb.

The archers on the well also began to shoot arrows at the soldiers on the city walls.

The soldiers of Liaodong were hiding in the battlements on the city wall.

Now that the well and ladder carts have reached the city walls, it is time for the oil to show its power.

One by one, the clay pots were thrown out and smashed on the well and ladder trucks. The clay pot shattered, and the oil flowed on the car.

Then there were rockets that were fired at the car.

The legendary Liaodong fire oil finally began to exert its might.

The wells and ladder trucks have been turned into large torches. The soldiers above cried and cried for their mothers, and when they couldn't bear to be burned, they jumped down with a flutter. At a height of 6,7 meters, even if you can't die, you will break your leg!

Some Jingzhou soldiers with quick hands and feet have already climbed to the city wall.

They were greeted by 3,000 soldiers from the Liaodong Fallen Camp. These soldiers looked at the Jingzhou soldiers with the gentle eyes of their lovers.

It was finally possible to open up, and the officers and soldiers of all sizes in the Liaodong camp were in tears.

For these Jingzhou soldiers, they were reluctant to kill them all at once. One knife on the left, one knife on the right, and the trapping camp began to practice the knife technique on them, vertically and vertically. The Jingzhou soldiers were cut to blood, and there were dozens of knife cuts all over their bodies, and they were still alive, but they were not dead.

In the end, all the Jingzhou soldiers knelt down: "Uncle, give me a good time." Kill me with a single sword, stop torturing me! ”

In this way, the Jingzhou soldiers who besieged the city were all wiped out, with more than 3,000 dead and wounded!
