"The guards of Qianzhou City listen! Our great general wants to talk to you! ”

The day after the total annihilation of Zhuang Fuming, you led the new army of the Northern Han Dynasty to approach the city of Qianzhou.

You rode your horse and stood at the front of the queue.

At this point, the Southern Han army knew that you had returned from the steppe and arrived at the battlefield on the Southern Front.

There was a frightening commotion among the defenders of the city.

Across the moat, you say to the guards at the head of the city, "Yes." You read that right. It's me. I am back. ”

You said, "Qianzhou, I am determined to win, this city is not broken, I will never leave." Now, you have two choices: fight against me and become the second of Old General Zhuang; Or, Kaesong surrenders to me.

You say, "I can tell you that the thick walls of Qianzhou City are useless to me." Before I joined the army, I spent a long time studying how to break through the city defenses of Qianzhou. In fact, in every city in your land, I already have a way to break it. Of course, it takes time to break the city. But it's only a matter of time. When I come, it means that the city will be destroyed. Resistance is ultimately useless. The defenders of Qianzhou City and the people in the city were all born and raised by their parents, and some people relied on you and cared about you, and I don't want you to have unnecessary casualties. ”

You say, "General Zhuang is the most capable of fighting among you, right?" Now, his body, I give it back to you. You can look at his body and think about it. ”

The commander of the Qianzhou City garrison at the head of the city, Wei Yingdian, heard your words clearly. He looked at Zhuang Fuming's flesh-and-blood, inhuman-shaped body, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation.

He gritted his teeth and replied to you at the head of the city: "Cui Jinglong! You've come back from the steppe, what about you? What if you kill General Zhuang? You don't have to be so arrogant! ”

Wei Yingdian said: "I know that you have been invincible since your debut, and you have never lost a battle. A lot of people are afraid of you. That's why you're so ambitious. But, I'm not afraid of you! Defeat is nothing more than death. In life, there will be death in the end, and there is nothing to be afraid of. If you want to Qianzhou, it's not so easy, you can get it by playing tricks? You dream! If you want to stand at the head of Qianzhou City, you can fight by yourself! ”

You smile and say, "That's good." I've given you a chance to live. Since you don't want it, then just wait in the city for me to come in. ”

You leap on your horse and say, "The defenders of the city, if you follow him to prolong the war, just wait and see how I break the city and make your sacrifice a meaningless burial!" If you resist me, you will die in vain! ”

You say, "Kill him and surrender me!" Mark my words, you'll always have this choice! ”

Say, "When the city was broken, none of the troops who were still resisting could leave the city alive!" ”

The central tent of the Northern Han Army outside the city of Qianzhou.

You and the generals of the Northern Han Army held a pre-war meeting to plan for the siege of Qianzhou.

You point to Wei Yingdian's assessment file on the table, which is part of the Southern Han intelligence that Liu Shen has collected for many years. After the meeting at Yantangguan, he gave it to you as a generous gift. You have carefully studied the information of these civil and military officials of the Southern Han Dynasty very thoroughly, in the hope that you can know yourself and your opponent in the decisive battle on the southern front.

You said to everyone: "Qianzhou garrison Wei Yingdian." A die-hard servant of the city. Where did his faith in defending the city come from? The supplies from within the city were well stocked, and even without the protection of the cavalry for the supply lines, it was enough to hold out for a considerable time. We're going to destroy his self-confidence. How to destroy? Wei Yingdian forgot that there were two things that Qianzhou could not avoid from the outside world. One is drinking water, and the other is air. Let's start with these two things and hit his self-confidence. ”

You begin to arrange your troops and issue military orders to all the departments of the Han army, ordering them to work together.

"There are two sources of water for Qianzhou City: first, the water source of the Qinghe River outside the city, and second, the water from the well of the underground river of Baishan. Your task is to go to the upper reaches of the Qing River, intercept the river, and divert it to other tributaries, so that Qianzhou will not be able to draw water from the river, and the moat will dry up naturally. And you, go to the underground river of Baishan and pour a lot of laxatives into the water source. ”

"This season, the southeast wind is strong. Your task is to go to the limelight in Qianzhou, burn dead branches and low-quality tobacco charcoal day and night, and smoke the defenders at the head of Qianzhou City, so that they will cry and cough as soon as they go to the city. And you, the task is to constantly bluff and feint to attack the city, so that the defenders will always be tense and dare not leave the city. ”

"Your mission is to dig earth and build mountains outside the enemy's range, within this intersection circle within our range, artificially create a mountain as high as the city wall, and send archers every day to take turns to climb the earth mountain and rain rockets on the city."

"But that's not the main task. The main task, Commander, is to be taken on by yourself. You lead the main infantry under the city, under the cover of the smoke of the city head and the rain of arrows, from the three directions of the city of Qianzhou, according to the positions marked on this drawing, dig 32 tunnels, pass through the dry moat, reach the Qianzhou city wall, and then dig a semicircle along the city wall, outside the root of the city wall. ”

{"Every time you dig a section, you will make a support with wooden pillars, and every other section, you will make some ventilation holes in the ground, and when the semicircle on the outside of the base of the wall is dug and connected, you will place ignition materials in the tunnel, and all the soldiers will be withdrawn, and then the tunnel will be set on fire."} When the fire burns off all the wooden pillars, the entire tunnel will collapse, and the foundation of the city wall will collapse, causing the city wall to crack and collapse. At that time, our siege fighters arrived. ”

"Your task is on this drawing, which is a battering cone often used by the Western nations in their battles in the plains, with a large stone or iron pyramid in front of it, which can be used to break through cracked walls or make large holes in the gates. For us Han people, its craftsmanship is not very difficult, you have to imitate it. We're going to use it to penetrate the walls of Qianzhou! ”

"All the cavalry units are under the unified command of Wu Shun. Junzi, your task is to strike at any Dongcheng army that dares to come to the rescue of Qianzhou, until they dare not get even half a step close to Qianzhou! Let Qianzhou become an island in dire straits! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are fighting here today, not only to smash the city defense of Qianzhou and capture the important pass of Qianzhou, but more importantly, we must show our incomparable siege ability, so that all the cities under the rule of the entire city will change color and tremble for it, and we must shake and even crush the confidence of their whole army to resist and hold the city in one fell swoop!"
