Hao Mengbing's direction was further confirmed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, the date of Hao Meng's expedition to Jiangdong was also discovered. This has to sigh at the dedication of the meticulous workers at this time, of course, perhaps because of Hao Meng's intentional connivance.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hao Meng really moved to Zhongli City.

At this time, there were no less than 400,000 troops stationed in the large camps inside and outside Zhongli City. Among them, there are only 80,000 elite soldiers and horses, and there are 80,000 patrol battalions on standby as auxiliaries, and the remaining 250,000 are recruits who have just completed training.

The next day, Gao Shun grabbed the position of pioneer, and only led a light cavalry to sweep the seven or eight county towns between Zhongli City and Shouchun.

Gao Shun marched all the way and won seven or eight cities, but Gao Shun himself was not very happy.

As early as when Hao Meng decided to go south to Jiangdong, Liu Bei shrank all his strength.

Half of Jiujiang County occupied by Liu Bei, except for Shouchun City, which was defending to the death, the other county towns became undefended at this time. Don't say that Gao Shun can lead a light cavalry to take it down, even if a group of homeless people can steal the county seat.

Liu Bei gave up these counties, but Hao Meng had to occupy them to ensure the regularity of the grain route.

The 80,000 patrol battalions that accompanied the army came in handy at this time.

Then, Hao Mengqin led the army, all the way unimpeded, to the foot of Shouchun City.

Nearly 400,000 troops surrounded Shouchun City. The cold glow of the weapons held by the 400,000 troops is an invisible momentum, which makes the enemy frightened and the morale of their own side soars.

At this time, if you look at it from the air, there are phalanxes, surrounding Shouchun City, and the phalanx stretches for no less than twenty miles.

In later generations, most of the military parades read this kind of momentum!

……

After a while, the sound of war drums stopped, the dust dissipated, and it was facing the north gate of Shouchun City, and the military array spread out to both sides, Hao Meng took Tai Shici and Huang Zhong to move forward a little, observing the city defense of Shouchun City.

In fact, the city defense of Shouchun City does not need to be checked.

Anyone can see at a glance that this is a super fortified city that has been temporarily reinforced.

Throughout the counties and counties of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the city wall is as high as ten zhang, and it is already a strong city, which cannot be easily conquered; If the city wall is as high as fifteen zhang, and there are two or three thousand ordinary generals guarding the city, as well as one hundred and eighty bed crossbows, no matter how powerful the generals are, they will not be able to break the city.

At present, Shouchun City, the height of its city wall has exceeded fifteen zhang.

At the battlements on the city wall, the cold glow was the crossbow guns that were ready to be activated. Crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and even many generals stood by at the gates.

"Sure enough, Jiangdong Xiao'er has sent reinforcements to Shouchun City as scheduled!" Hao Meng's heart was clear.

With Liu Bei's troops and material resources, he can still do it if he heightens the city wall, lays bed crossbows, and organizes young people to defend the city. However, the tens of thousands of crossbowmen on each city wall, as well as two or three thousand military generals on standby, were not something that Liu Bei could cry about!

Tens of thousands of crossbowmen and tens of thousands of generals, only with the support of Jiangdong children, can this be done.

Perhaps, even those bed crossbows on the city wall are supported by Sun Quan!

Sun Quan and Liu Bei's plans, Hao Meng also knew it for a long time. And this is exactly what Hao Meng needs.

……

After staring at the city wall for a while, Hao Meng looked around left and right.

The fierce generals who participated in the military discussion that day, except for the few people who stayed behind, were all on Hao Meng's side at this time, and they were ready to prepare, and the lord gave a zero order, and they took Shouchun City.

Well, Cai Mao and Gan Ning are missing.

On the day Hao Meng arrived in Zhongli City, these two received Hao Meng's secret military order to leave, and no one knew where they went.

"Zhang Wenyuan, and go forward to hand a message to Liu Bei, let him go out of the city as soon as possible to surrender, so as not to fight together and the lives of Shouchun City will be ruined." Hao Meng ordered Zhang Liao's general.

The so-called salute before the soldiers, the great wars of the past and the present are all the same.

If you can say that Liu Bei is the best to surrender in a few words, even if you can't say that Liu Bei will be surrendered, it will not be too late to come to the big war again.

Of course, Hao Meng also knew that at this time, it was about a fool's dream to count on Liu Bei. But the necessary procedures still have to be processed.

Zhang Liao received the order, drove thousands of steps, and before he could shout, several crossbow guns were shot on the city wall, if it weren't for Zhang Liao's own ability, maybe Hao Meng would have to lose a general!

Hao Meng naturally saw all this. "Are you going to fight to the death at this point?"

Zhang Liao also stopped shouting and retreated. Gao Shun rode his horse to Hao Meng's side, and asked: "Lord, give the order to attack the city, the last general will lead the headquarters to attack the city in person, and it is bound to teach Liu Bei a lesson!" ”

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are good friends who have been fighting side by side for many years. Shouchun City Liu Bei treated Zhang Liao like this, Gao Shun naturally couldn't look at it.

Moreover, when he was a pioneer a few days ago, Gao Shun originally thought that this was a beautiful difference, but he didn't expect that he was just going to take over the county seat that Liu Bei gave up, and Gao Shun had been unhappy for a long time.

As for the city defense of Shouchun City, in Gao Shun's opinion, it can also be broken by desperately losing some soldiers and horses.

……

Hao Meng said: "Shouchun City will be taken sooner or later, but I am not in a hurry at this time. ”

"Order the whole army to slowly withdraw its troops and return to their own camp."

Hao Meng gave the order to collect the troops, and he had his own heralds to carry it out.

During the siege of Shouchun City this time, Hao Meng had too many soldiers and horses, and it was naturally not very convenient to set up a large camp. So, twenty miles outside the four gates of Shouchun City, Hao Mengjun set up a large camp each.

During the period when Hao Meng opened his position and seemed to be attacking the city, the four large battalions behind him had already been set up, and it was just time to collect the troops and return to the camp.

The city defense of Shouchun City is too tight, the city is high and deep, the strong bow and crossbow, the generals are all over, Hao Mengruo film and television siege the city, and the 400,000 troops under his command hit the head and broke the blood, and they can barely conquer it. But the loss of troops is too much, even if you take Shouchun City, it will not be worth it.

Moreover, Shouchun City is not like Yuan Shu's pseudo-capital Shangcai City.

At the beginning, there were many generals who comprehended the tricks, but there were not many generals who had great tricks. Therefore, Hao Meng was able to summon a level 31 holy beast Vermilion Bird and burn Shangcai City to ashes.

To this day, others don't say that Guan Lao Er on Shouchun City can lose a 999 physical strength in seconds with his second trick. Moreover, according to the news, Zhang Laosan's second-style trick seems to be very awesome.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are here, and it is mostly not feasible to expect to use the summoning holy beast to break the city.

Of course, if you really want to break the city, Hao Meng still has a special team of troops that can be used.

But Hao Meng was not ready to break the city at this time.

Anyway, he Hao Meng has enough food and grass, and there are many soldiers and horses, so why not stalemate under Shouchun City for a while?

In later generations, Hao Meng still liked fishing. And when fishing, sometimes it's not necessarily the big fish that catches the bait. Just a small fish, and let him bite the bait for a while longer, so that the big fish lurking in the depths of the water are likely to take the bait.

In Hao Meng's opinion, this Shou Chuncheng and Liu Bei can only be regarded as bait at best.
