There are many famous generals in history, and the method of digging soil and building slopes has also appeared in history.

For example, in the original history, Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty also used the method of piling up mountains of earth during the Battle of Yubi during the battle of Yubi when Wei Xiaokuan of the Western Wei Dynasty, Temujin poured the earth and ran the horse to the city to fight against the three states of Huan, Chang and Fu of the Jin State, and the Roman Empire adopted similar tactics when besieging Masada.

Someone summed it up that there are several prerequisites that need to be met in the first place to adopt this tactic.

1. Time should be sufficient, and it will take quite a long time to carry out large-scale earthwork under the enemy's long-range fire.

2. To have sufficient manpower, it must be able to ensure that the enemy in the city cannot go out of the city on a large scale to destroy the attack, which means that almost all the city gates must be controlled, and there must be enough manpower to carry out earthwork work.

3. Grain and grass should be rich, and those who work eat more, and they can't do it without food and grass.

4. The enemy has no rescuers and no mobile troops, and it is necessary to ensure the safety of sufficient grain and grass and earthwork, and the enemy must not have mobile troops or reinforcements outside, otherwise he will be dragged down by the time of earthwork.

It can be seen that the prerequisites for the implementation of such tactics are still very high.

By the way, it is better to dig the city walls faster than to go up the city on the slope.

So, because of so many constraints, there are very few time-consuming and labor-intensive methods that have been used in this way, even over a long period of time.

When it comes to time-consuming and labor-intensive, Chen Xu thought of a clever way at that time, the factory assembly line operation, each soldier is assigned a small part of the work, divided into two teams, A and B, and replaced on time, so that the Wei army can work in turns for a long time without interruption, which will not lead to the phenomenon of wasting manpower. The same labor force, using different methods, the effect is completely different, this is the role of human management!

It is also because Chen Xu basically meets these conditions that he will come up with this method.

The enemy defender Liu Renzhan, as a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, must have seen Chen Xu's intentions, and Chen Xu was far away from Li Wenzhao's elite soldiers, and the discord between the generals was obvious, and he was very likely not to let go of this opportunity and would take the initiative to attack out of the city.

As long as you get out of the city, Chen Xu will be easy to do here.

Even if he resolutely insisted on not going out of the city, Chen Xu continued to use the method of digging and building slopes, approaching step by step, and crushing the past with a dignified and upright strategy, we are all bullying you There are few people here, what's wrong?

Chen Xu thought a little cheaply.

……

Li Wenzhao also saw Chen Xu's "good way", Chen Xu thought it was a good way, but he thought it was not. Looking at the Southern Tang soldiers on the city tower, he laughed, and looked at the Wei army below with a gray face, facing the land with his back to the sky, as if he was a farmer on the spot, and grinned. Li Wenzhao saw the fire in his belly, and immediately sent someone to urge Chen Xu to change his deployment and attack the city with all his might.

"That's what he's good at?!" Li Wenzhao was angry, and slapped heavily on the board, he practiced martial arts and arrows all year round, and his strength was extraordinary, he could open a three-stone bow (at this time, one stone was sixty catties), and when he was angry, he slapped the whole wide board "trembling", as if he was going to fall apart, "This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, not to mention, he will build a slope, and the Southern Tang Army will not raise the city wall?" ”

He and Chen Xu held opposite opinions.

Li Wenzhao's subordinates found Chen Xu and said, "General Li said, let Chen Zhaozhi make all his efforts to attack the city, and don't waste his strength digging and building a slope here."

Chen Xu said a few words to the general, asked him to go back and tell him, and he continued to inspect other construction sites.

It didn't take long for Li Wenzhao to see his subordinates coming back, and said: "General, Chen Zhaozhi said, please wait for some more time, the thick walls of Shouzhou City can never be captured in a short time, please give him more time, the longer the time will be, the more obvious the effect."

"Digging up the earth and building a slope is a fart plan." Li Wenzhao pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

The general said: "Chen Zhao's envoy said again, please ask General Li to personally inspect the construction area, maybe the general can relieve some confusion."

Li Wenzhao snorted coldly: "Then I'll wait and see, His Majesty will inquire about the progress of the day, and I want to see how he explains to the emperor."

……

The other side.

Du Chong was a little worried: "Lord, I'm waiting for this. Liu Renzhan is a number of generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, who loves soldiers like a prestige in the army, is loved by his subordinate generals, and is proficient in managing the army and fighting wars, and Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is extremely important. Liu Renzhan guarded Shouzhou, it is said that a month ago there were generals who wanted to attack Zhengyang, Liu Renzhan tried his best to persuade without fighting, saying that it was impossible to advance lightly; As a result, Liu Yanzhen, the general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, did not listen and insisted on attacking Zhengyang, but he was defeated, and the corpses of the soldiers were covered for thirty miles. This person anticipates the enemy's opportunity and should not be underestimated. ”

Chen Xu smiled confidently: "Brothers, don't worry, what I am using now is a dignified and upright yang strategy, I can see what's strange, this method is the same as our army's frontal siege some time ago, the Southern Tang Army is either to stick to the city, and slowly wait for our army to build a slope under the city wall, or to go out of the city to attack and disturb, destroy our military fortifications, and hinder the progress of our army." If it is the best decisive battle out of the city, who is the opponent in the field battle of our army! ”

Suo Hu shouted: "What do you do with so much, I haven't lost since I followed my eldest brother to fight!"

Everyone recalled Chen Xu's various miracles, and they were a little worried.

……

Liu Renzhan has been observing the movements of the Wei army every day these days, and he couldn't help it anymore, and muttered: "The soil slope built by the Wei army will surpass the Shouzhou city wall in a few days."

"Time is running out! If I send troops, I will defeat the Wei army! ”

Everyone looked at the Wei army under the city, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, not afraid to defend the city, if you go down, there will be 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which is not enough for a fraction of the people, and if you go down, you will not go to death. Everyone felt that the disparity between the enemy and us was too great, and besides, the Wei army was building slopes outside, and they were also using civil engineering masonry to raise the city wall these days, and it also had a certain scale, so it was better not to go down and take risks!

Liu Renzhan had already made up his mind, and said with all his might: "Ladies and gentlemen, please see, the military tents in the northwest are arranged in an orderly manner, which is much better than the soldiers under the city, and it must be Li Wenzhao's troops and horses, but there are only 20,000 people."

He glanced at the southwest and northwest corners again, and pointed: "Those two places are not many, but they seem to be well-disciplined, and they are quite imposing between them, and they are also a combatable army. Presumably it is the elite of the headquarters under the command of the newly appointed general. We went out of the West City Gate, defeated this army, and then burned the siege equipment of the Wei army. ”

Liu Ren looked at the tight siege equipment on the west side.

"I look at the soldiers of the Wei army under the city, these are these two places, and the rest of the Wei army is just a rabble. With such a good opportunity, if our army were to watch from the wall, wouldn't it make the whole world laugh! ”

Pointing at the country and scolding Fang Xuan, it seems that the Wei army below is not worth mentioning, and if thousands of troops and horses are idle, they can be easily wiped out!
