Chapter 463: This is a failure to come to see the play

It's been three days, and Xu Shu has been blocked by the pot for three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Three days ago, Zang Ba was the first to attack Huguan with a thousand soldiers, but less than 400 soldiers returned alive!

However, Cao Dejun paid sixty percent of the price, but he did not even capture a place that could gain a firm foothold.

In the past three days, Zang Ba, Ma Zhong, and Zhang Ren took turns to attack Huguan with soldiers, but they still achieved nothing. Huguan is still firmly in the hands of Dong Zhuojun.

Although Xu Shu had 70,000 troops in hand, there were only 20,000 infantry suitable for attacking the city, and the rest were cavalry.

Therefore, in fact, the comparison between Cao Dejun and Dong Zhuojun is 20,000 to 50,000! And it's a siege war!

In these three days, although Cao De's army never stopped attacking, and the battle loss rate was also very high, Cao De's army did not suffer very heavy losses. The reason is that the space on the real side of Huguan is too narrow, and there are too many people, so there is not enough space to set up too big a formation.

And this is also the easiest and most difficult place to defend and attack, no matter how many people can't go together, you can watch it!

Although this matter is indeed a headache, how can Xu Shu not have a solution. In the past three days, although the attack has not stopped, Xu Shu just wants the Huguan defenders to think that they only want to attack.

And now, Xu Shu's big killer should have arrived!

"Someone!" Xu Shu's voice is an understatement no matter where it is, as if everything is just a floating cloud!

"Strategist!" Xu Shu's guards immediately lifted the curtain of the tent.

"Where is General Xiahou?" Xu Shu didn't look up, but kept staring at the map on the table. If you look closely, Xu Shu's eyes have been in Jizhou!

"According to the battle report of General Xiahou received yesterday, General Xiahou should arrive in less than two hours."

"Hmm!" Xu Shu closed the map in front of him and stood up, "Go out with me!" ”

"No!"

Inspecting the camp is the unwritten rule of Cao Dejun. In fact, even Cao De will also go to the camp for a stroll after breakfast.

70,000 people, which may occupy a lot of territory after being tightly arranged. But the camp of 70,000 men was coming. Even if Xu Shu only walked around halfway, it would take more than an hour.

After Xu Shu returned to the tent, he took off the cloak on his back, and by the way, he also slapped the dust on his body.

However, before Xu Shu could sit down, the curtain of the tent was lifted, "Strategist, the last general is back!" ”

Xu Shu came back to his senses and saw that Ma Zhongzheng was now in good spirits like a little ghost.

"Come in!" Xu Shu looked at Ma Zhong's face, "It seems that the harvest is good!" ”

"Hehe, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's just tailor-made for us!"

"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and rest and rest, when General Xiahou comes back, there will be no time to rest!"

"No! Then I will retire first! Ma Zhong left, and Xu Shu seemed to have nothing to do and took out a random document from the side.

After a dozen breaths, Xu Shu smiled, "We have to play like this today!" ’

After that, Xu Shudi opened the map again and studied it carefully.

However, in less than a quarter of an hour, the curtain of Xu Shu's tent was lifted again.

"Military Division, General Xiahou is back!"

When Xu Shu heard this, he stood up suddenly.

"Tell General Xiahou that you don't have to go back to the camp, just go directly to Huguan!"

"No!"

The soldiers who came to report immediately turned around and went out.

"Someone!"

"Strategist!"

"Immediately let General Zhang Ren push the carts that General Ma Zhong pulled back under the Huguan immediately!"

"No!"

"Prepare the car! This military division wants to come to Huguan in person! ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Cao Dejun drove under the pot again. This time, however, the soldiers on the pot were not so relaxed. Because they found twenty behemoths in the military formation of Cao Dejun!

"Quick, go and report to the general, Cao Dejun has pushed the catapult here!"

That's right, what Xiahou Yuan brought was these twenty catapults.

It's not the same time anymore. When Cao De conquered the Yellow Turban, begged Dong Zhuo, and attacked Han Sui, Cao De had the intention to make catapults, but he didn't have the financial resources or the force!

Catapults, deceptively simple, can be built with some wood. However, the materials used are very strict. And even if there are three or five planes, they will not be used at all, and they may become a burden to their own side.

Now, however, it is different. Since Cao De and Yuan Shao started the war, catapults have almost become an essential weapon for siege.

When Xu Shu was in Zuo Fengyi, Cao De gave Xu Shu twenty planes in order to let Xu Shu be able to conquer everything when he attacked and annexed the state.

Yes, these twenty catapults were not used at all, they just followed Xu Shu's army out of the distance.

But now, Xu Shu is facing the Huguan that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is time for the catapult to perform.

"Strategist!"

When Xiahou Yuan, who was tired and out of breath, was directing the soldiers to assemble the catapult, he saw Xu Shu's frame from a distance, so Xiahou Yuan hurriedly greeted him.

"General Xiahou has worked hard."

"What if you work hard, you can reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and you can also break through the pot pass, this is the most important thing!" Xiahou Yuan pointed to the kettle like a turtle shell, and said excitedly.

"Well, what General Xiahou said is extremely true. I have ordered Ma Zhong to collect a lot of stones, this time General Xiahou should not scruple, even if the wall of the catapult is broken, it doesn't matter, General Xiahou will throw it to his heart's content! ”

"I wonder if the military advisor has brought tea?" Xiahou Yuan asked with a smile.

"Uh, no!" Xu Shu was stunned!

"Alas, what a pity! With such a beautiful view, it's just a matter of not having alcohol, and if there is no tea, it would be a waste! Xiahou Yuan said with a look of regret.

"Haha......!" Xu Shu laughed heartily, "General Xiahou is so Yaxing, but it's true!" ”

"Come on, go back to the camp and bring the lord's reward for my good tea! This army division wants to enjoy the scenery and drink tea with General Xiahou! ”

"No!"

Looking at this situation, do Xu Shu and Xiahou Yuan really want to see this war as a good show!

Soon, the rich aroma of tea spread throughout the battlefield. Zhang Ren, Zang Ba, and Ma Zhong came over looking for the fragrance.

"Strategist, the general is so Yaxing!"

Ma Zhong, as an old senior, was the first to pick up the teacup! A small sip of tea is like a mouthful, and suddenly the fragrance in his mouth is like the time when Ma Zhong just married his wife.

"Come, General Zhang and General Zang, don't be polite!" Ma Zhong looked at Zhang Ren and Zang Ba, who were still reserved, and unceremoniously handed each of them a glass. "This is what the lord got from the Yi people, and thousands ~ gold is hard to find!"

Xu Shu glanced at Ma Zhong, "General Ma, this is a reward from the lord." You take the general's tea to protect your favor, we have to calculate this account well! ”

"Oops, when did the military advisor become so stingy! General Xiahou, you have to make decisions for me! ”

"Haha......!"

Ma Zhong's pitiful expression caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Xu Shu is very strict in governing the army and very relaxed, when discussing the military, Xu Shu is not allowed to have any sloppiness, but in this current situation, everyone is joking, and it is irrelevant!

However, there is no one who can see this war as a big drama!
