Chapter 286: There is no way back
Wu Yong's offensive strategy for them is safety first, destruction second, and they would rather have fewer blows to the other party to protect themselves first, and the advice he gave was that the whole army immediately began to build simple catapults to throw stones into Zhujiazhuang, so that although it is difficult to strike accurately, it can also cause some damage, whether it is houses, warehouses, trees, crops, what can be hit, anyway, it is not their own not to feel distressed, and after a long time, the damage will naturally be great.
And he deliberately emphasized that if the stones and war materials are not enough, there is no need to be in a hurry, let alone spend effort to prepare in the distance, and go directly to Hehujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang, at this point, the high-level leaders of the two villages should understand the victory or defeat of this battle, right? Even though they are embarrassed to participate in the battle directly at this time, it is always okay to help behind their backs, otherwise they will not be afraid that the Liangshan army will continue to attack them after the defeat of Zhujiazhuang?
Of course, such an indiscriminate blow is destined to only advance slowly, and it is likely that it will be difficult to completely defeat Zhujiazhuang in just one month - for this Wu Yong, he has already quietly asked Du Jia, Du Jia gave him a deadline of twenty days, that is, if he has not been able to capture Zhujiazhuang in the last ten days, then he will not say anything, only two words are left - strong attack!
At that time, Zhujiazhuang had been beaten by rocks for twenty days, the loss was definitely not small, and the morale was even lower, and when the time came, it would be great for the Liangshan soldiers who were facing the morale of the rainbow to be able to block for three days, so the battle would end in this month anyway, just to see how long Zhujiazhuang could last.
In fact, in Wu Yong's opinion, Du Jia is already a bit of a mother-in-law, if he and Du Jia switch positions, even if he doesn't attack directly, then at most he will start the real attack after three or five days of feints, or the feint will be mixed with a real attack, as long as he wins the bet with Song Jiang won by Zhujiazhuang, it is equivalent to completely taking charge of Liangshan's military power, and what does it matter if he dies a few hundred minions? This kind of person is not how many or how many.
Even if a few ordinary leaders die Wu Yong won't care too much, in his opinion, only the top half are the core talents that the cottage really relies on, such as Li Li, Shi Yong, Li Gon, Xiang Chong and the like in his eyes, even if they are stronger than ordinary small leaders, they are limited, and a few deaths are nothing, at most, they will hold a memorial service to pay tribute to them.
He believed that if he was replaced by Song Jiang, he would definitely agree with his opinion, once he would succeed, what would it be to pay a little price for such a feat? This is also the biggest reason why he has never been able to make the decision to completely abandon Song Jiang.
However, Wu Yong didn't know that in the short term, his utilitarian approach was indeed much more efficient than Du Jia, but in the long run, he lost something called 'human hope', this thing can't be seen or touched, and many times it is still in the way, this can't be done, that can't be done, but it is indispensable for people who really want to do great things, and Uncle Liu Huang back then relied on it to have been able to compete with a generation of male lord Cao Cao for so long.
The generals suddenly came to their senses, and immediately received orders to go down to do business, and soon the whole camp began to make all kinds of 'clanging' sounds, and it was the minions who began to build the simplest catapults and small platforms, the former could throw stones into them, and the latter provided a standing point for the archers to condescendingly suppress the people of Zhujiazhuang, and everyone was in full swing.
Not long after, two letters quietly came from Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, respectively recounting the refusal of Zhujiazhuang's request for help last night, which undoubtedly made the generals of Liangshan even happier.
Two days later, the first batch of catapults and high platforms were baked, their workmanship is very simple, the catapults are just ropes made of cowhide tied to the big trees, which can project one or two hundred catties of stones less than 20 meters away, and the high platform is the big tree sawed flat with a saw and then laid with thick planks, on which at most four or five people can stand, but it is enough here.
As expected, when this batch of catapults and high platforms were pushed to the front line, they immediately caused a burst of cheers, and then immediately began to carry out the first wave of blows to Zhujiazhuang, the people of Zhujiazhuang were trembling, and they were trembling when they heard the cheers outside in the past few days, and they didn't plan to send people to look out or even harass them, but the three people who wanted to look from the arrow tower were shot down by Hua Rong with an arrow and a top-heavy shot as soon as they appeared, and no one dared to do so.
After a day of blows, many fortifications in the outermost part of Zhujiazhuang were damaged, and more than a dozen unlucky people were injured, and the people of Zhujiazhuang were more honest, and they hid behind without anything to do, which undoubtedly made Zhu Chaofeng and other high-level officials even more worried, praying every day that the reinforcements from Dengzhou would come over as soon as possible, and although Zhu Biao was beaten and scolded every day in the back, he only dared to take his subordinates out of anger, and he did not dare to lead his troops out by himself with ten guts.
Fifteen days have passed in this way, and the entire Zhujiazhuang is covered with those simple catapults in Liangshan, and there is nothing within twenty meters of their periphery, whether it is fortifications, warehouses, weapon racks, flags, etc., they have been smashed to pieces, and there are stones the size of millstones everywhere, and they don't know that the people of Liangshan have found so many from them.
In fact, most of them are from Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang - those two Zhuangzi are now afraid that Zhujiazhuang will not be finished, so they even demolished some of the houses in their Zhuangzi, and then quietly sent the stones to Liangshan, but if the high-level people of Zhujiazhuang know, I am afraid that they will all vomit blood three liters.
And the people of Zhujiazhuang have now been numb by the complete stone rain, at first they complained, feared, and looked forward to it, but after fifteen days of continuous blows, they have become completely accustomed to it, they continue to tighten behind the second line of defense built urgently and look helplessly, now their outer city wall has already been smashed down, so both sides can see each other, during this time Liangshan's battle line has slowly advanced more than fifty meters, and their living space has been compressed to a very small extent, maybe another month or even twenty days, They have no way to retreat, and then they will have to fight to the death whether they want to or not.
Therefore, while praying that the military horses in Dengzhou would come over one day sooner, Zhu Chaofeng also prepared for the worst, that is, to fight with the people of Liangshan to break the net - of course, the fish will definitely die, and whether the net can be broken is a matter of two words......
The third one
