The ninth round defended Jiangzhou and fought to the death

Shuzhong is the most geographically advantageous place in the world, we all say that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao occupies Tianshi, Sun Quan occupies the geographical advantage, and Liu Bei occupies the people. In fact, it is Liu Bei who occupies the geographical advantage, and Sun Quan is the occupant.

The road in Shuzhong is too difficult, and it is a pass all the way from Hanzhong. Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, Jiange (Jianmen Pass), Jiangyoushu (Jiangyou Pass), Mianzhu Pass, and then the military towns of Yuxian and Chengdu, it is impossible to attack them with regular troops. Liu Bei's entry into Shu was an internal flowering, and Zhong Hui's felling of Shu was because Deng Ai smuggled through Yinping Road, conquered Mianzhu, and forced Liu Chan to surrender.

If it weren't for Liu Zhang's lure of the wolf into the house and Liu Chan's lack of confidence, it would be basically impossible for Liu Bei and Zhong Hui to take Shuzhong.

Sun Quan occupies the people because there are many famous generals in Wu, and the four major governors are all famous generals, and after that, there are Zhu Ran and Lu Kang as successors, and there are countless generals. According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Wu is the country with the most generals in the Three Kingdoms, if it is not a matter of the monarch, it is really not certain who can win the world. There are comments in history that Sun Quan is more than successful, but not enough, and after Sun Quan, the emperor is not as good as the generation.

Therefore, the successor must be selected well, the so-called master and young country are suspicious, and the lord is cowardly and the country is dead. Not only Shu Wu, but also Cao Wei, Cao Pi is a little better, and after Cao Rui, it is not as good as the generation, because their emperor is too young.

For all strong dynasties, the foundation saved by the founding emperor should be large, the life of the emperors of the past dynasties should be long, and the second is whether the emperors of the past dynasties are wise. If these three points are not reached, there will basically be no long-term dynasties. After the Ming Dynasty, the country's system began to change, and the role of the emperor was constantly weakened, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would have died long ago with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty who did not do their jobs.

Many people say that they were hacked by the Qing Dynasty when they talk about the dynasty, but no one can say how many of them are black. However, as far as the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are concerned, there is not much blackness. If those emperors were ordinary people, they might have been talked about by everyone, but who let them be born in the emperor's family!

In order to repeat the mistakes of the past, Zhang Yi also worried a lot about his sons. Now he is laying a big foundation for his sons, so that future generations can lose the family.

Fu Youde also started the siege of Jiangzhou, and he has not been idle in the past 20 days, crashing, rushing cars, well fences, and trebuchets have been built. After the siege began, countless siege equipment pressed towards Jiangzhou. Stones and arrows were hurled into the city, covering the city. Fu Youde personally climbed into the nest car, observed the layout of the city, and attacked in that direction when he saw where there were many soldiers.

Yan Yan was also sitting in the city tower, commanding the soldiers to hide. The castle tower is the highest place on the city wall, and there is a lid on it, so it is not afraid of arrows.

But for trebuchets, there is no difference between having a lid and not having one. Because the cover on the castle tower is just a layer of tiles, it is okay to dodge the arrows, and it is impossible to prevent smashing.

Fu Youde asked the trebuchet to focus on taking care of the city tower, and more than ten big stones flew up, directly overturning the cover on the city tower, almost not stepping on the whole cover.

But even so, there were stones and debris flying around, and the soldiers inside immediately suffered heavy casualties, and Yan Yan was also hit by several tiles, and his shoulders and thighs were swollen.

Embarrassed to escape from the city tower, Yan Yan immediately asked people to rescue the soldiers inside, and he saw the power of trebuchets for the first time.

Shuzhong is mountainous, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Originally, Yan Yan thought that Zhang Yijun would have difficulty supplying, and he would not bring too many arrows. As a result, instead of focusing on arrows, people used local materials and stones to attack. As long as there is time, the stones are inexhaustible, and the advantage of Takayama that was the defender turned out to be the advantage of the attacker.

Yan Yan had to sigh at Fu Youde's ability, for a general, he needs this kind of wisdom to use local materials, and he is a good general if he can turn disadvantages into advantages.

suppressed the enemy army in the city, Fu Youde immediately asked people to push the ladder to the city. As the ladder approached the walls, the trebuchet's attacks began to slow down in order to prevent them from hitting their own people. The frequency of arrow shooting has increased, because the siege soldiers are fully armored, and even if they are shot by their own people, they may not be able to shoot and be injured. Moreover, many of Zhang Yi's good shooters in the army will basically not shoot at their own people, unless they suddenly encounter a strong wind and miss the arrow.

But such a thing as a sudden gale, which basically does not occur, because there is rarely such a strange weather in Shu.

After Yan Yan found that the opponent's trebuchet was weakened, he immediately climbed the city wall to look over, and found that the enemy ladder was approaching, so he immediately asked people to go up to the city to defend.

Originally, Yan Yan made people boil water and boil gold juice in the city, but they were all smashed by the other party's trebuchet. Not to mention the boiling water and gold juice spilled on the city wall, and also scalded a lot of soldiers, so that now the defense can only rely on rolling wood and stones.

The ladders were set up on the city walls, and many people climbed up. Each soldier held a shield to prevent him from falling from the rolling rocks.

If you fall from a ladder three or four feet high, you will break your bones even if you don't die. The soldiers were very skillful, and every time they climbed a block, they would use the underside of their shields to put on a ladder, and as long as the ladder was not broken, it would be difficult for them to be smashed down.

As long as they don't run out, they can climb all the way up and eventually climb to the top of the city. This is also a secret of why Zhang Yi's men can quickly conquer many cities, they can quickly go up to the city wall, and quickly gain a foothold on the city wall.

However, there are many defenders in Jiangzhou, and Yan Yan is not incompetent, he asked the soldiers to hold forks and push down those enemy troops who were about to climb up.

The fork is the biggest weapon to defend the city, not used to fork the ladder, but to fork the people. There are hooks on the ladder, and after three or four people climb up the ladder, they can't be pushed, so the fork can only be used to fork people.

Two hours had passed, and the city had not yet been stormed. The defenders of Jiangzhou defended very tenaciously against the arrows and fought to the death.

Yan Yan shouted loudly from time to time, directing his soldiers to defend. Because of this, he was targeted by the men on the well, and the arrows kept coming at him, and he was hit by an arrow in his swollen shoulder, but he cut off the shaft of the arrow, and held a shield, and still did not go down the wall.

Yan Yan's determination to fight to the death made the morale of his soldiers high, and many soldiers had the heart of death. When some of the enemy troops came up, they jumped from the top of the city with them in their arms, and they all perished.

Seeing this, Fu Youde immediately called in to withdraw his troops, now that the morale in the city is red, it should be slowed down, and when the morale of the soldiers in the city is reduced, they will be afraid when they see the situation in the city.
