Chapter 171: Ant Attachment Siege Method

Half a day later, under the city of Nanton, Guo Jia and Xiahoudun stood side by side in front of the battle, looking up, although the city wall was like a forest of swords and guns, but the enemy soldiers were a little panicked, after all, the prestige of Cao Jun and Guo Jia was there, how could the enemy not be afraid.

Guo Jia didn't look back, still looking at the enemy's city wall, and asked lightly: "Yuan Rang, do you know the ant-attached siege method?" ”

Xiahoudun paused for a moment, as if recalling the military books he had read in his mind, and after a while, Xiahoudun said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War, Seeking Attack Chapter, will be overwhelmed with anger and ants will be attached to it."

Meng De once commented that the soldiers are on the edge of the city, like the ant wall.

The ant attachment siege method is the next policy, I don't know what Mr. means? ”

"He is worthy of being a general, Cao Cao is also quite powerful, he is everywhere he is there......" Guo Jia smiled bitterly, knowing in his heart that the ant-attached siege method is a crowd tactic to put it bluntly, the city walls of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are made of huge stones, and there are many gaps in them, and soldiers can climb up, but there are very few such cities in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ant-attached siege referred to the storming of the city with cloud ladders and siege equipment, but Guo Jia did not use such a low-end ant-attached siege method.

Guo Jia raised his eyes and saw that Xiahou Yuan had taken all the people around Nanton City together in the distance, and at this moment, Xiahou Yuan also rode his horse and ran towards Guo Jia.

In front of him, Xiahou Yuan arched his hand and said: "Sir, the last general has taken all the people around him captive, a total of more than 70,000 people, how to deal with it, please give an order to Mr." ”

"It's hard work." Guo Jia symbolically praised a sentence, and said: "There are a total of 5,000 bows and crossbows in the army, which can make 5,000 soldiers hold bows and crossbows, and order 70,000 people to fight to attack the city. ”

Several generals beside him were suddenly shocked, Guo Jia's plan was really beyond their expectations, in their impression, Guo Jia can be said to love the people like a son, and he would never do such a vicious thing, how could he not be shocked at this moment?

Guo Jia didn't bother to explain, this move was also forced to be helpless, he was not a virgin, not to mention that most of these people were rebels who were killed, after all, the soldiers in Nanton City were all young and strong people nearby, how could they attack their own Tongze?

Guo Jia's plan is also aimed at the character of Zhang Xun, the enemy's commander, not to mention that Yuan Shu does not know about Nanton, and even if he knows, it is beyond the reach of the whip.

In the absence of an order, Zhang Xun's soldiers will be in chaos, and they will not be able to attack Tongze under the city, so what kind of choice Zhang Xun's character will make, it can be imagined.

Guo Jia ordered again: "Cao Hong listened to the order, selected a hundred young men with high voices to go to the city to shout, those who abandoned the city and surrendered, there was no crime in the autumn, the grain, grass, money and grain were not moved, if they did not surrender, it was a fierce attack, and when the city was broken, the chickens and dogs would not be left!" ”

"The last general commands!" Cao Hong gave up his hand and immediately rode away with the order.

Guo Jia is just intimidating the enemy army, he will not make such a tragic act, you need to know that the 70,000 people in the city, plus the people in the city, a total of hundreds of thousands, how can Guo Jia be so cruel, he believes that as soon as this statement comes out, when the soldiers come to the city, the enemy army will look at the wind and surrender!

Sun Tzu's Art of War cloud, the first army to attack the strategy, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city.

The central idea of Sun Tzu's Art of War is a sentence, a soldier who surrenders without a fight!

Attackers, soldiers who surrender without a fight, and those who make friends, such as Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi can deceive the enemy's territory for 600 miles with the advantage of his tongue, this is a war of exchange, and the cutting of troops is a field battle, and the next is the siege of the city, and the loss is the heaviest.

And Guo Jia's move seems to be cruel, but it is against the enemy, he is extremely merciful to the soldiers and ordinary people under his command, killing one person, and saving ten thousand people, and the above is also.

The general ordered, the three armies moved, the Cao army war drums thundered, the soldiers shouted and advanced, although the ordinary people in front were terrified but did not dare to disobey the order, they could only stubbornly approach the city of Nandon, they only hoped in their hearts that the defenders in the city could let them go, not arrows.

Most of the people are well-known, but there must be rebels, but those who resist will only be greeted by Cao Jun's swift arrows like a rainstorm.

Some of them are speculative and slippery, secretly slowing down, but they will usher in Cao Jun's sharp arrow.

Although this method is cruel, it is indeed a siege strategy, which can be described as incomprehensible......

Guo Jia sighed helplessly, he was powerless to explain anything to those people, at this moment, it may be that the obedient prosper, the rebel perish, life and death, all in the thoughts of the people, war, is so cruel.

When Cao's army escorted tens of thousands of people to the city, the defenders of the city were suddenly shocked, and they were all stunned in place and did not know what to do, and even their main general Zhang Xun did not know how to order the defense of the city and release arrows.

Perhaps even if Zhang Xun gave the order, the soldiers under his command could not bear to shoot the villagers in the city with their own arrows.

"General, how good is our army, even if you shoot an arrow to kill a hundred ...... in the city The enemy army under the city, the enemy army can also pile up corpses, and our army has no danger to defend, just like a field battle. A young general faced Zhang Xun and asked with tears in his eyes, he wanted to say that the people in the city, but he was afraid that the lord would order the arrows to be released, so he said that it was the enemy army, if he really released the arrows, it could also reduce the burden on the hearts of the soldiers.

And this young general is not stupid, although there are many ways to siege the city, there are no more than several, most of which are piled up for the slope, and then rush directly to the city, although the Cao army does not carry a soil bag at this moment, but it can be filled into a high slope with human life, in that case, the Cao army can still attack the city as if it were on the ground.

Zhang Xun naturally knew in his heart that he was in a dilemma at the moment, and he didn't know what to do, so he looked around, and saw that there were many fathers and sons who recognized each other and brothers between the soldiers and the people in the city, and the soldiers in the city saw this scene, and there were countless people who cried loudly, after all, most of their families were outside the city, although they were not found at the moment, but nine times out of ten they were among the people under the city.

The people of the city fell to their knees, weeping bitterly and begging the soldiers of the city to show mercy and not to shoot them with arrows.

The people under the city didn't know when, and suddenly wept together: "Those who abandon the city and surrender, there is no crime in the autumn, and the grain, grass, money and grain will not move, if they do not surrender, they will attack fiercely, and when the city is broken, they will slaughter the city...... General, come down......"

The choice of life and death, the test of love and blood, many soldiers in the city have equipment to kneel on the ground and cry, I don't know when, many defenders in the city also shouted in unison: "General, surrender......"

Zhang Xun was aggrieved and helpless in his heart, if he surrendered, he would still die in the face of Cao Jun, not to mention surrendering without a fight, Yuan Shu would not let him go, if it was a battle, this situation and this scene, the soldiers under his command were excited, if they were not careful, they would mutiny!

After all, most of their closest relatives are in the city.

At this moment, killing people and establishing authority, the army has ruled the army, and those who resist and surrender are all beheaded, these means seem so pale and powerless at this moment.

Compared with the military order in front of the closest relatives, the military order is a fart!

Zhang Xun looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "Yuan Jun, ...... lowered"
