Two hundred and forty-one put to death and then lived
γChinese Networkγ, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Three days later, Wei Yu led 50,000 elite Wei infantry, 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 crossbowmen, as well as 10,000 chariots and heavy siege weapons to Pinglu City.
The defenders of the city looked solemn, the people in the city were panicked, and the tragic battle of Pinglu was about to begin.
Wei Yu ruled the army very strictly, but in private, he loved soldiers like sons, and the soldiers under his command fought bravely, and there were few people who were afraid of death.
Its people pay attention to "soldiers first" in the use of soldiers. He likes to attack suddenly, but he also pays attention to steady and steady fighting, and he is one of the few geniuses who can attack and defend both offensively and will not let the enemy find any dead ends.
After arriving at the foot of Pinglu City, Wei Yi cautiously set up his camp on flat ground far from the range of the Tang army's Yuan Shu's crossbows. Send troops to surround Pinglu tightly, and set up checkpoints on all major roads leading to Pinglu.
At the same time, Wei Yu did not adhere to the consensus of the siege warfare at that time, "the besiegers should concentrate superior forces to attack one side". Dispersed the troops, and attacked the four gates of Pinglu City at the same time, but the Tang defenders in the city were caught off guard and almost lost the city.
Fortunately, all the weapons transported by Luban's disciples to defend the city a few days ago had been arranged on the city wall, which barely repelled the first attack of the Wei army.
Wei Yu sat far away in front of the Chinese army, and when he saw the Tang army on the city tower constantly taking out a variety of weapons to greet him, his mind couldn't help but come alive.
A smile squeezed out of his wrinkled face: "Tsk, they're all good guys." Tell the rabbit cubs in front of you that the Tang army is defending the city with artifacts, at least leave one for Ben Shuai! β
The main general is leisurely, and even has the mind to pay attention to the enemy's fortifications. The soldiers who rushed to the front line were naturally more confident, and they were not afraid even if they were against the Yuan Shu crossbow with a range that was so far as to be perverted.
The sound of killing up and down the city tower shook the sky, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, so it was a hell on earth.
Liao Hua and Yang Yi each sat in the east and west. Because of the onslaught of the Wei army on all sides, Jia Xu and Xianpei, even as scribes, had to appear on the walls of the north and south gates to boost morale.
Pinglu is now like a caged bird, blocked by Wei Yu so that no flies can fly out.
The grain and grass in the city can still support half a year, and the 10,000 reinforcements from Yanzhou will arrive in half a month.
Jia Xu indifferently watched as the Wei soldiers climbed up the ladder one by one, and were smashed down by the Tang army one by one, his mind was racing rapidly, thinking about how to defend for at least half a month under the onslaught of 20,000 and 100,000 elite Wei troops with 25,000 troops of uneven quality.
Late at night, Anyi City.
When the Pinglu Guard War began, the news of the Wei army's dispatch finally arrived here.
At this time, Fang Li's army had just finished repairing and was preparing to go to Tongcheng to join Cao Cao's army and attack the city together.
Fang Li was taken aback when he received the battle report, and immediately summoned all the generals to the big tent to discuss the matter.
"Attacking Pinglu? Weiss made a comeback so quickly? Ma Chao was shocked, "Wei Guo was still seriously injured not long ago, why did he come so quickly?" β
"This is an oversight." Fang Li frowned, "The Wei State hates the Tang State so much, how could he not take the opportunity to fall into the ground." It's a widow who is careless. β
The generals hung their heads and said nothing, and silence spread through the tent.
All of us are introspecting ourselves. Since the founding of the Tang State, the Tang State has been fighting non-stop, defeating the Wei State, destroying the Liang State, controlling the Zhou Chamber, and cutting Ji Zhai, which is invincible and unfavorable.
Even if Hangu was besieged, it was the tiger wolf Qin army that was besieged, and in Fang Li's subconscious, it was different from other countries.
In the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Tang Kingdom, especially Fang Li, I am afraid that there are no small countries for a long time.
This joint attack on Jin is also, if it is Fang Li, who has just arrived in the Spring and Autumn Continent and is walking on thin ice, how can he not think of the Wei State that is eyeing the east?
Among all the people, Liu Bei and Liu Feng have the least qualifications, and even if they understand it in their hearts, they can't empathize, especially now is not the time to be immersed in introspection.
Liu Feng couldn't bear it the most, and when he saw that everyone didn't say a word for a long time, he wanted to take the opportunity to show himself.
How could Liu Bei not know his son's temperament, in order to prevent Liu Feng from saying the wrong thing and angering Fang Li, Liu Bei took the initiative to persuade: "The lord doesn't have to blame himself too much, the top priority is to find a way to relieve the siege of Pinglu." β
Fang Li bowed slightly: "Xuande is reasonable. All the secretaries said, should we retreat to rescue Pinglu, or continue to attack? If you don't withdraw your troops, can you have both? β
Pinglu is the place where Fang Li started, and its significance to the Tang Kingdom is extraordinary. If Pinglu is captured, it will be equivalent to being pierced in the heart by the Wei State, and it will not be so easy to pull it out.
Everyone persuaded that they should immediately pull out the camp and turn around to rescue Pinglu, but Liu Bei bowed his head deeply and said nothing.
Fang Li looked at it and knew that although Liu Bei had objections, he was still ready to choose Mingzhe to protect himself, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and asked in a long voice: "Xuande, since you have something to say, why don't you say it?" β
Liu Bei was shocked, and when he saw Fang Li's eyes looking at him coldly, he knew that he couldn't be perfunctory any longer, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "The lord is wise, I think that our army should go to Tongcheng to join Cao Dudu according to the original plan." β
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately pointed at Liu Bei's nose and retorted: "Nonsense! Do you know that Pinglu is an important place for soldiers and the root of the lord's troubles, but you still say that you shouldn't be rescued? β
Lu Bu's words were like opening the flood gates, and there was a voice of condemnation in the big tent.
Knowing that he should speak out to relieve Liu Bei at this time, Fang Li did not have this plan.
This is a good opportunity to observe Liu Bei, as a hero who can dominate one side in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, Fang Li doesn't believe that Liu Bei can't even handle this situation well.
Sure enough, Liu Bei's face did not change in the splashing spittle, and he arched his hand and said: "What the generals said is good, but there is something I want to ask you." Are you going to Pinglu to defend the city or to attack the city? β
"What did you say?" Lu Bu grabbed Liu Bei's collar in a rage, and his copper-bell-like eyes were about to pop out, "Liu Bei Xiao'er, what do you mean by this?" Ask me such a childish topic. β
The difference between Lu Bu and Liu Bei's figure and appearance is too big, and this posture looks no different from an eagle carrying a chicken. Fang Li's throat choked, and he almost laughed out loud.
Liu Bei himself didn't care much, so he was carried by the collar, and Gu Jing said without wave: "General Fengxian should not be angry." Xiaguan means that Pinglu is more than ten days away from here, and when I receive the battle report of the Wei State's troops, the 100,000-strong army of Wei Wei may have been on Pinglu for a long time. β
"What are you muttering about here if you know?!" Lu Bu shouted angrily, "In that case, shouldn't you immediately pull out the camp and go to the rescue under the stars?" Why do you ask me if I am going to attack the city or defend the city, is it teasing Lu Bu? β
was bullied by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, who was good-tempered, was also a little angry at this time: "Since General Fengxian said so, I will immediately withdraw from the army according to the general's words." At that time, there was the army of Wei in front of him, and there were chasing soldiers of Jin in the back, did the general want the lord to be surrounded by the front and rear? β
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.
Liu Bei couldn't care so much, and when he saw that Lu Bu didn't speak, he turned to face Fang Li: "Lord, our army is less than 30,000 when it is full, and rescuing Pinglu is a drop in the bucket." It is better to join forces with Cao Dudu to attack Tongcheng and directly attack Quwo City. The Wei and Jin states are allies, and the Wei army will never sit idly by and watch Quwo be surrounded and see death without saving ......"
After a pause, he explained: "This is called putting to death and then living, as long as Pinglu can hold on for half a month, the Wei army will definitely divide troops to rescue Quwo." Our army should lead the enemy by the nose, and should not be led by the enemy. "Mobile phone users, please browse m. to read, a better reading experience.
