Chapter 42 Sand Table Deduction

(Recommended reading: The model of Shouchun City has been made, and the next step is to deduce the siege process in detail and find out the weaknesses in it!

Of course, if there is an attack, there is a defense, and the enemy will not be stupid to stay there and be beaten, and they will also adjust the deployment of troops according to the form on the battlefield, so for the sake of prudence, the person in charge of defense can only be strong, not weak, so after the generals were elected, our Xiao Dadu was honored to be selected and became the best 'imaginary enemy!' ’

"Okay, then the governor of Bendu will come to guard this Shouchun City!"

For the needs of the war, Xiao Yi naturally would not shirk, and before that, he also ran to the auxiliary barracks, like those prisoners, he interrogated the defense situation in Shouchun City in detail, and also drew a lot of sketches, so he knew it in his heart, so he was the best choice to be this 'imaginary enemy'!

"I'm attacking!"

"I Keep"

The deduction began, Xiao Yi, as the defending party, made full use of the terrain advantages inside and outside Shouchun City, reasonably deployed troops, arranged various battle defense methods, and defended like an iron bucket!

The generals took turns to go into battle, launched a strong attack on this sand table model, during which various methods emerged one after another, attacking during the day, sneaking attacks at night, attacking the east and west, and encircling three missing one......

In short, in addition to the 'beauty plan', almost all other methods are used~

Cao Cao, on the other hand, became the referee without partiality, and had a fair determination of the effects of various strategies on both sides, as well as the resulting casualties, and from time to time helped both sides find loopholes and make up for defects.

People, once they fall into an obsession with something, it is difficult to pull it out, and it is the best game for a group of generals to command the army, everyone is fascinated, and even dinner is eaten in Xiao Yi's big tent, one person is holding a meat and bone and gnawing wildly, and he refuses to put down the small flag representing the deployment of the troops!

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

"It's better to retreat!"

Attack after attack, failure after failure, Shouchun City is really indestructible, Xiao Yi's defense is even more leaky, nine fierce attacks in a row ended in failure, but everyone is not discouraged, but seriously summed up the lessons and lessons, and constantly improved the tactics!

The tenth time, with the strategist Guo Jia personally in charge, all the generals worked together, and after two hours of hard work, repeated tug-of-war, and heavy price, they finally broke through Xiao Yi's defense line~~

"Win! Win! ”

"Roar! Roar! …… Finally taken down! ”

The generals jumped and jumped happily, and even Xiao Yi, the 'general of the defeated army', rarely showed a smile, and the sand table deduction was successful, which proved that in reality they could also capture Shouchun City, and their hard work was finally not in vain!

Everyone was happy for a while, but they immediately cracked the bitter gourd mouth, because after Cao Cao's referee, although the city defense was finally broken, the price was really heavy, 100,000, they had to pay at least 100,000 casualties to take Shouchun City, this price is too heavy!

It's too heavy for everyone to bear!

How many people are there in Cao Jun? If you let out 100,000 casualties, there will be not much difference between such a miserable victory and defeat, and what kind of capital will you use to dominate the world in the future, although you will still lose!

"You don't need to be discouraged, since the sand table deduction can break through Shouchun City, it means that this road is clear!" Cao Cao is worthy of being the commander of the three armies, and he is calm and atmospheric at the critical moment, "We only need to continue to look for flaws in the enemy's army, improve the tactics, and we will definitely be able to reduce the casualty number, as long as it can be reduced to less than 50,000, the old man will order the siege of the city!" ”

50,000 people, this is the bottom line of casualties in Cao Cao's heart, if this number is exceeded, then he would rather give up the land of Shouchun City and Huainan, withdraw his troops and go back to Xudu, wait for the opportunity, and make a comeback!

"Hehe, in fact, most of the reason why this Shouchun City is difficult to break is because of this Weishui River that continuously provides it with assistance, if we can cut off the waterway, then it will become a waterless fish, and it will die sooner or later!"

Guo Jia poured a few sips of wine, his little face flushed, and then pointed to the river made of wooden troughs, and blocked the wine gourd in his hand.

"Block the river!"

Guo Jia's proposal lifted everyone's spirits, but then they shook their heads in unison, Cao Jun is all northerners, on horseback archery, then the world is invincible, but when it comes to kung fu in the water, it will be over, full of landlubbers, not to mention swimming, even taking a boat will be dizzy, let alone blocking the river?

Besides, it is absolutely impossible to do such a wide river without hundreds of large and small warships, so where do the boats come from?

"We don't have warships, we don't have sailors, but others do!" Guo Jia pointed to the south and said, "This time to fight against the rebels, all the princes of the world have the obligation to send troops to help, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, the two of them have a large number of warships in their hands, if these two men and horses help in the war, it will be easy to cut off the Shouchun waterway!" ”

"What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, and he has an unshirkable responsibility to seek ****, as for Sun Ce, he has just pacified the land of the six counties, and what is missing is a name, as long as the old man plays the Son of Heaven and crowns him as 'Yangzhou Mu', his soldiers will come out!"

Cao Cao is now playing the card of the Son of Heaven, and he is becoming more and more handy, 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes', this is the feeling!

"You can also send another will to Liu Bei in Xuzhou, let him speed up the march and besiege Shouchun City, and then we can share our casualties to a large extent!" Touching his chin, Xiao Yi decisively made up for it!

"Haha!"

The plan has been accomplished, everyone looked up to the sky and laughed in unison, after laughing, suddenly felt sleepy, at this time everyone found that outside the big tent, the sun was rising in the east, and the purple gas was rising, and it turned out that everyone had been in the tent for a whole night!

Go back to your account, sleep with peace of mind, nourish your spirits, and fight the sand table again!

From this day on, Cao Ying's generals have a habit of riding out in groups of three or five as long as the weather is fine, go out in groups of three or five, go around Shouchun City, check the terrain, some careful will also bring pen and ink, what they see, what they think, they will immediately write it down, even Cao Cao sometimes changes into civilian clothes, and takes a look under the protection of Xiao Yi and others, so that he knows it in his heart!

In this way, after everyone's collective efforts, the siege method on the sand table is becoming more and more perfect, and the red bamboo chips that represent the casualty number are becoming fewer and fewer, and they are gradually approaching the 50,000 mark~~

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Shouchun City, after repelling several attacks by the Cao army in a row, the hanging heart of the monarch of the 'Zhong Dynasty' was finally put back in his stomach, and thankfully, his little life was finally saved temporarily!

However, although the enemy army did not attack, they were still stationed outside the city, firmly locked on three sides, looking at them like a fierce tiger, making it difficult for Yuan Shujun and his ministers to sleep, so they had to think of a good strategy to drive away this tiger!

Pseudo-Imperial Palace, Tai'an Palace!

This is Yuan Shu's newly changed name, which is to hope that his throne can also be as stable as Mount Tai, safe and sound!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Cao Jun has besieged the city for more than half a month, making it difficult for Lone to sleep and eat, if anyone can retreat from this strong enemy, Lone will make him a marquis, and a reward of ten thousand gold!" On the golden dragon chair, Yuan Shu's face was pale, his eyes were blank, it seemed that he had not yet come out of the shadow of his previous defeat, but he was just holding on in one breath in his chest.

On both sides of the hall stood the civil and military officials of the 'Zhong Dynasty', the originally dense crowd now appeared many vacant seats, the battle of Sanfeng Mountain, Yuan Shu escaped, but many officials stayed there, either became a head for people to receive credit, or entered the prisoner camp, and now they are obediently loading sandbags?

In addition, since the defeat of Sanfeng Mountain, there have been more and more officials on sick leave in the DPRK and China, and many people have asked for external transfers, preferring to be a small county magistrate or county governor in the local area rather than standing in this palace to serve this -- 'Emperor Zhong'! ’

In a word, people's hearts are floating, and the team is not easy to bring!

Hearing the interrogation, the ministers were all silent, and everyone knew very well that Yuan Shu's words were not asking them, but another person, a man in white standing under the imperial stairs and closest to the throne!

"Your Majesty, Cao's army is powerful, and only with the help of external forces can the enemy retreat!" Zimu Gongzi is now standing at the head of the hundred officials, but he is still dressed in white, he has never thought of being an official, at least he will not be Yuan Shu's courtier, the reason why he helped this stupid pig is more because ~~ Xiao Yi is outside the city!

When the enemy meets, his eyes are very red!

"With the help of external forces, how easy is it to talk about it!" Yuan Shu patted the dragon chair depressedly, he also regretted it a little now, he was empty-eyed and proud of the princes of the world, but he didn't even hand over an alliance, and now Shouchun City is in danger, who is willing to rescue him from all walks of life, let alone rescue, it's good not to send troops to fight together!

"You can ask Hebei for help!"

"What? Hebei! ”

As soon as Zimu Gongzi's words came out, the ministers immediately whispered, and even Yuan Shu on the dragon chair twisted his body unnaturally, Hebei is Yuan Shao's place, although the two are half-brothers, but that relationship is ...... It's the same fire!

At least Yuan Shu scolded Yuan Shao in this hall more than once, saying that he was 'born of a wild seed, born by a slave, and raised by a little wife~~~'

Now let him be cheeky and beg that brother, how does this make Yuan Shu open his mouth and how to phrase it!

"Your Majesty, what the prince of Zimu said is extremely true, Yuan Benchu sat in the land of Sanzhou in Hebei, and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, if he is willing to cross the Yellow River, go out of Xuchang, and come to a plan of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao', then the siege of Shouchun can be solved, and the 'Zhong Dynasty' can be safe!"

The ministers rushed up, and persuaded Yuan Shu to give in to his brother, bow his head, and invite reinforcements to be true, some anxious people have begun to lay paper and study ink, saying that they can write the letter, Yuan Shu only needs to sign a name, use a seal, and be surrounded by the army all day long, and they are not safe, they are also difficult to sleep!

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, only by persuading Yuan Benchu with flesh and blood and inviting reinforcements from Hebei can you turn the crisis into safety, right?"

"That's right, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, Your Majesty will follow!"

"Hehe, flesh and blood? Then Hebei will not send a single soldier! Zimu Gongzi smiled coldly, the brothers of the Yuan family are worthy of being born from a root, their personalities are very similar, selfish, forgetful of profit, short-sighted, but the elder brother Yuan Shao is a little smarter, but it is precisely because of this, in terms of affection, that he will not send troops to rescue.

"Zimu, what do you think?" Yuan Shu's eyes flickered, the reason why he was reluctant to write this letter asking for help was that he couldn't pull it off, and besides, could he not know who his eldest brother was?

Brotherly love, there is still half a point there!

"Simple, tell Yuan Benchu plainly, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold!" Zimu Gongzi looks at the north, and the best way to deal with those who forget their righteousness is to use profit!

"Good way, if Shouchun is not guaranteed, it will be his Hebei's turn next!" Yuan Shu nodded approvingly, but then he became puzzled again, "But what if Hebei still doesn't move?" ”

"If that's the case, Your Majesty can only 'cross the Huai River in the south and avoid the troops for the time being'!"
