After three days of fierce fighting, more than 3,000 casualties were killed, and the battle situation could not be said to be fierce, and Xiangping City remained unmoved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Shi called the generals to come to discuss, and Fa Zheng heard that the battle in Xiangping was fierce and rushed over.

Liu Bao said: "Childe still remembers the method of attacking Xinye City?" ”

Liu Shidao: "You mean to build a wall of earth, condescendingly, and seize the city wall?" ”

Liu Bao said: "Exactly! ”

Fa Zheng interjected: "I found a group of soldiers from the Yuan army who had followed Yuan Shao to attack General Gongsun, and among them were the soldiers of the Yuan army who were the best at digging tunnels, do you want to bring these people to try?" ”

"Are you saying that Yuan Shao used the technique of digging a pit to collapse the city wall and then attack the city?" Liu Shi asked.

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is." ”

Liu Shi thought for a while and said: "You can find these, let's try, we must capture Xiangping as soon as possible and return to Youzhou." It's been two months since we've been here, and I'm worried that Cao Cao knows about our expedition to Liaodong and has come to attack Youzhou. ”

Liu Shi paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, the technique of building the soil cannot be stopped, and it is carried out by double calculations, and it cannot be delayed." ”

Liang Mao hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiangping, as a county in Liaodong, is extremely solid in construction, and the city wall is built with stones, and it is watered with soil, rice milk, and white ash. In addition, there are dozens of buildings and cars in Xiangping City, and those who specialize in breaking the law of the ground cannot but pay attention. ”

Liu Shi frowned: "If that's the case, it might be a little troublesome!" ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and the discussion ended in vain.

Liu Shi was not in a good mood, walked out of the camp tent, rode a horse to the outside of Xiangping City, and watched again, at this time, heavy rain fell from the ground, hitting the river outside the city, flooding with waves, and the river water became turbid.

"General! It's better to go back to the camp first. The guards persuaded.

Liu Shi looked at the river and gradually became distracted.

Liu Ming said: "General! It was raining heavily upstream, and the terrain was not high, so we had to move the camp to a higher place as soon as possible! ”

"How do you know?" Liu Shiqi said.

"Hmmm! We Karasuma people have been living by water for a long time, and the water rises upstream, and the downstream must first see something drifting down, and the terrain here is low, so we are afraid of being flooded. Even if it does not flood, it will cause inconvenience in traveling, so please make a decision as soon as possible. Liu Ming said.

Liu Shi's heart moved, and he asked, "You said that if the water rises, will the water rise to the city wall?" ”

Liu Ming looked at the river bank, and then looked at the river wall and said: "Look at the slope on the city wall, if the water is large, it is very likely to rise to the city wall, but I don't know how high it is." ”

"Oh! Good! Back to camp. Liu Shi seemed to think of something, and his mood suddenly brightened.

Liu Shi ordered the three armies to immediately allocate camps and choose another camp.

The soldiers in the city saw Liu Shi's army scattering away one after another, and said happily: "I can finally relax, this Yongzhou army is really dead, we will die thousands of brothers in a few days!" ”

"Humph! What do you know? Listen to the military marquis, this Yongzhou army came from afar, Youzhou must be empty, Cao Cao knew that he would inevitably lead the army to attack, I heard that General Yuan sent Xi Zuo to sneak back to Jizhou to let go as early as when Liu Shijun came, as long as we hold on for a while, this Liu Shijun will not leave and wait for his lair to be broken by Cao Cao! It will be up to them to see if they will withdraw. A tun chief said.

"Tun Elder Gao Jian, maybe Liu Shi will withdraw his army this time, it rains in Liaodong for months, and the river can rise outside the city, and there were even brothers who defended the city when the water rose, standing on the city wall and hooking many fish?" A soldier flattered the tun chief.

"Haha! In that case, Liu Shijun will wait to feed the fish! One soldier laughed.

"Don't you see that there is an embankment by the river outside the city? Sometimes, when the water rises upstream, there is a lot of water around it, and when it is at its largest, the river overflows the dam. Otherwise, how can you stand on the city wall and hook a fish? The soldier who had just spoken said proudly.

"Then do you think this Liu Shi will withdraw?" A soldier asked expectantly.

"It's hard to say, there is a relatively high slope not far from here, and it's okay to camp in those places, but it rains for a long time, and water will inevitably enter the tent, and it's enough for them!" The soldier who had just spoken replied.

"This brother, you know so much!" Someone flattered.

"That's it! I've lived here for decades and haven't seen any water. If it weren't for the fact that the patriarch was found by General Yuan and asked each of our families to send people to defend the city, what if I wouldn't have come? The person who replied seemed a little dissatisfied.

With the assistance of Liang Mao, Liu Shi placed the army on a high place, and formed a horn with Xinchang, and sent people to constantly explore the water potential upstream, and sent a message to Gan Ning to come to support.

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning advanced by land and water, pursuing Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang fled to Xuantu with about 10,000 cronies, but was rejected by Xuantu Taishou, Yuan Shang was angry, killed Xuantu Taishou, and became Taishou himself.

It's just that before Yuan Shang could sit down, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning came, and Yuan Shang had no way to avoid it and was forced to fight.

The Xuantu family was worried that they would be implicated, so when Yuan Shang asked them to defend the city, they secretly opened the city gate and led Zhao Yun and others into the city.

Yuan Shang couldn't escape and was killed by the rebels.

When Gan Ning received Liu Shi's order, he just broke the city, and the two discussed, leaving Zhao Yun here to clean up Yuan Shang's remaining troops and maintain law and order in Xuantu County.

At this time, the rain is getting heavier, the water of the beam is surging, and the sea boats several feet high are sailing in the river, looking like mountains from a distance.

Liu Shizhi Gan Ning led his troops to come, and did not let him come to see him, but found some guides who were very familiar with the geography of this place, and asked them to bring Gan Ning's troops not far from Xiangping City, and when the heavy rain stopped for a while, Gan Ning immediately drove a boat directly to Xiangping City, and took advantage of the convenience of the building ship to attack Xiangping.

The soldiers defending the city were shocked when they saw huge ships appear in the water outside the city.

These huge ships came to the outside of the city, as high as the city, Liu Bao and Gan Ning led 2,000 fallen warriors, under the cover of the Lou boat soldiers, climbed the city wall, and slashed and slashed, and the soldiers defending the city could not resist, and retreated from the city wall one after another.

Liu Shi was overjoyed, and used the small boats collected in the past few days to transport a large number of soldiers to the city gate, and rushed into Xiangping under the response of the trapped soldiers and the shippers.

"My lord! How did you come up with the idea? Seeing that Xiangping City was taken so easily, Fa Zheng asked Liu Shi with stars in his eyes.

Liu Shi glanced at Fa Zheng, looked at this scholar who had gradually matured after several years of training in the battle array, and said with a smile: "For the generals to observe astronomy and geography, this city is located on the bank of the Daliang water, according to the locals, when the river rises, the city wall is gradually half flooded, and Liu Ming said, there is water rising upstream, it is very likely that there is a big water, I know that the Liao water and the Liang water communicate, when the water rises, the sea ship can enter the Daliang water from the Liao water." The boat is tall, as long as there is someone who is familiar with the geography of the river to lead the way, the boat can go straight to Xiangping City, think about it? ”

"Soldiers can directly attack the city wall if they stand on the ship!" Fa Zheng answered.

Liu Shi nodded, "That's it!" I asked Gan Ning to lead the boats to Xiangping, plus the small boats I collected during this time, these boats are enough to send soldiers outside the city when the river floods. ”

"At this time, the trapper wants to take Xiangping in one fell swoop, and after the trapper captures the city wall, he opens the city gate again, and Xiangping has already fallen." Fa Zheng Dao.

Liu Shi nodded.

Fa Zheng said again: "Why don't you use the trap soldiers at the beginning, but only use them today?" ”

Liu Shi asked rhetorically, "Have you seen the armor of the trapper?" ”

Fa Zheng nodded.

Liu Shidao: "You said that they were wearing such heavy armor, could they climb the city wall in large numbers without anyone to cover them?" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head.

Liu Shi looked at the city wall: "My trap soldiers, each of them is the position of the commander, and each of them has spent a lot of our time, energy, and financial resources to train, how can we use it at will if we are not sure!" ”

Liu Shi no longer looked right, but slapped the horse, "Go!" Enter the city! ”
