Chapter 499: Besiege but Not Attack
Shouchun City, the atmosphere is a little delicate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hao Mengqin led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the city for three days, except for the first day to show off his momentum under the city, and then there was no move to attack the city.
Husband fights, courage also, and then declines, three and exhaustion.
Shouchun City is already on the weak side, and defending the city is all about courage.
If Hao Meng attacked the city and could kill Hao Mengjun, this breath would not be easy to vent. However, now Hao Meng is not attacking the city, but only besieging the city, and blocking all contact between the city and the outside world, and the tone of the soldiers defending the city is invisibly relaxing.
It must be known that there are not many elite soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command, and most of them are recruits who have only been recruited for a long time.
Moreover, the 50,000 Jiangdong Army sent by Cheng Pu to support is probably also cannon fodder in Liu Bei's opinion, and they are the first to relax.
Although there was no sign of Hao Meng attacking the city, during the past three days, Liu Bei took his two brothers to patrol the city wall every day. In addition to cheering up the defenders on the city wall, it is more about guarding against Hao Meng stealing the city.
Liu Bei will not forget how Yuan Shu's pseudo-capital Shang Caicheng was broken!
With the second brother Guan Yu and the third brother Zhang Fei here, Liu Bei was not afraid that Hao Meng would summon the holy beast to break the city.
……
On the tower of the city gate, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang looked down at Hao Meng's camp again.
Twenty miles away, on the tower of the city gate of Shouchun City, it is not clear that the transfer in Hao Meng's military camp is clear.
However, Hao Mengjun has four large battalions, each of which is no less than ten miles long, and it is completely a small city. And these four camps are connected from end to end, just enclosing Shouchun City inside the camp.
There are occasional gaps between the big camps, but there are elite soldiers patrolling them for twelve hours a day.
Once there is a policeman, these patrol guards alone can make people eat a pot.
On the night when Hao Meng's army first set up the camp, the Jiangdong soldiers in Shouchun City couldn't help it, and under the leadership of a military general, they attacked the big camp opposite the west city gate at night, but in the end the whole army was wiped out, and none of the five thousand Jiangdong soldiers who went out of the city slipped through the net, and they were either killed on the spot or became Hao Meng's prisoners.
With the lesson of Jiangdongbing, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang naturally no longer had the idea of night attack.
"Big brother, what is this Hao Meng's idea?" Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes, stroked his long beard, and asked puzzled.
"Hao Meng's hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging the city, but they don't come to fight, is it possible that they want to trap us?"
With Guan Yu's temper, he can fight happily, no matter whether he wins or loses, he can also be happy. Like now, no matter how awesome he Guan Yu is, he seems to have a bit of a sense of uselessness for heroes.
It's impossible, he Guan Yu single-handedly killed the city to challenge hundreds of thousands of troops, right?
……
What Guan Yu asked was also Liu Beizhi's concern.
Hao Meng besieged Shouchun City but did not attack it, there must have been some conspiracy. Liu Bei is quite sure of this.
However, Liu Bei didn't know what news the outside world had.
Hao Meng's army of hundreds of thousands besieged Shouchun City; But if any messenger from Shouchun City wanted to kill him out of the city, he was either killed on the spot or became a prisoner. And in the sky above Shouchun City, there are five peacocks brought by Hao Meng patrolling, and even a fly can't survive in this airspace, let alone think about flying eagles or something.
The news in Shouchun City can't be transmitted, and the news from the outside world naturally can't be transmitted.
"Hao Meng must have some conspiracy, but he doesn't want to trap us." Liu Bei replied affirmatively.
"Counting the Jiangdong soldiers, Shouchun City has an army of 100,000, but there are also 100,000 stones of grain and grass, which is enough to hold on for a month. Hao dreams of trapping us to death, no matter what, it will have to be a month later. ”
"If Hao Meng's army really wants to besiege the city for a month, not to mention how much grain and grass it needs to consume, wouldn't it fall into the hands of Jiangdong Xiao'er?"
"Jiangdong wants to delay the decisive battle until winter."
"I don't believe Hao Meng can't see this!"
Zhang Fei smashed his fist on the wall battlement, and said hatefully: "He. . . Grandma's Jiangdong child, I thought that he supported our soldiers, horses, money and food, and he really joined forces with us to resist Hao Meng, but it turned out that he was using us as a shield! ”
Jiangdong's calculations, Liu Bei knew well, but he didn't say it. However, Zhang Fei has always been rough and did not pay attention to it.
100,000 troops defend the city, the city wall is as high as fifteen zhang, and there are enough crossbows and generals in the city, as long as Liu Bei does not leave a loophole for Hao Meng, it is no problem to hold on for a month. In this way, the time will enter the end of September, and winter is not far away.
At that time, even if there was no winter, the Jianghuai region was relatively cold, and the weather was dry.
In this way, the conditions for the decisive battle set by the Jiangdong think tanks are ripe.
……
"It's really not good, our two brothers are protecting the eldest brother to fight his way out of the encirclement!" Guan Yu touched his beard and affirmed.
With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei breaking out with all their strength, it is not too difficult to protect more than ten people out of the encirclement. Although Hao Meng besieged Shouchun City, no matter how elite ordinary soldiers were, they were not the opponents of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under the outbreak.
There are several fierce men around Hao Meng, who can compete with him Guan Yu for a long time.
But can Hao Meng know the direction of his Guan Yu's breakthrough?
"The breakthrough is definitely going to break through, but not now. We have to figure out Hao Meng's intentions before we can break through. Liu Bei affirmed. And, after we break through, where do we go? ”
If it weren't for his Shouchun City bearing the brunt, do you really think that he Liu Bei would be willing to act as a barrier to Jiangdong?
If there is a way out, I am afraid that when Hao Meng's soldiers are heading, Liu Bei will already give full play to his strengths!
Guan Yu comforted at this time: "Speaking of retreat, don't worry, big brother." ”
"Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yuzhou, and Liu Zhang of Yuzhou, are still of the same clan as the eldest brother. At other times, it is reasonable to see death and not save it, at this time, if the eldest brother goes to defect, whether it is Liu Biao or Liu Zhang, I am afraid that it will be too late to rejoice! ”
Hao Mengbing sent Jiangdong, which obviously opened the mode of dominating the world.
Anyone with a little bit of brains in the world can see it.
Nor can it say who is right and who is wrong.
But as a Han clan, the princes with foreign surnames want to dominate the world, should they unite at this time?
Therefore, Guan Yu's statement is not wrong, and Liu Bei may not have thought so in his heart!
……
Thinking that there was a way out after all, Liu Bei felt a little relieved. Although after taking refuge in Liu Biao or Liu Zhang, he Liu Bei can no longer be a prince, but in the end he can stay useful in order to make another day.
Then he said: "Break through the proposal, and stay in the next step, the first thing we need to understand now is Hao Meng's intention to besiege but not attack!" ”
Hao Meng besieged but did not attack, what intentions he had, Liu Bei really couldn't figure it out.
There is only one point, Liu Bei thought of it: Hao Meng must be using him Liu Bei and Shou Chuncheng as bait, either to lure Jiangdong Xiaoer to take the bait, or there are other conspiracies.
When he thought of this, Liu Bei's heart was full of bitterness.
Feelings, Jiangdong Xiaoer regarded him Liu Bei as a shield, and Hao Meng used him Liu Bei as bait.
"Have you ever asked, my opinion on Uncle Liuhuang?!"
