Su You stood under Liu's dock fort and secretly sighed at the huge size of this dock fort. ≥ ≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said,

Like a small city, the city walls are made of neat stones, and the entire dock fort is three miles in circumference, which can accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people to live in it.

There is a gate in the front and back of the dock fort, and the huge wooden doors that are cut in half are nailed together to form a thick large wooden gate

Except that there is no moat around it, Liu's Dock Fort is not much different from the castles in some small counties.

In the face of such a small city, although the two thousand heavy cavalry led by Su You have earned enough eyeballs along the way, it is obviously not the best choice if they rush to the city.

Because of the existence of hands/thunder, Su You is not unable to rush the city with these heavy horses, but when the other party occupies the terrain, the price he needs to pay is too great.

Under the trade-off, Su You could only choose to attack the city, but unfortunately he did not bring siege equipment such as artillery catapults, but this was not difficult for Su You.

Su You first gave Xue Wanche an order, "Take your five hundred horsemen to block the back door, don't let go of an enemy!" ”

After Xue Wanche took the order and left, Su You began to reorganize the two thousand heavy cavalry, one thousand of them dismounted and took off their armor and temporarily became archers, and the other thousand people were divided into two teams of five hundred people to guard the two wings of the team.

The auxiliaries remained at the end, and nearly a hundred assaults with hands/thunder were ready to rush to the gate and blast open the city gate.

With the sound of the drums, Su You's team began to move slowly, and Liu's Wu Fort was already full of guards at this time, but after they saw that Su You's army was well-equipped and ordered neatly, most of them were frightened and overwhelmed.

Isn't it a dead end to go against such a person?

As soon as the drums beat changed, a small group of improvised archers stepped forward and began to shoot Zhu Yuan, and the bows and arrows in the dock began to shoot down in a sparse manner.

At this time, the two sides have not officially opened the station, but it is impossible to say peace.

"Archers step forward, suppress the shot!" With Su You's order, the archers began to press step by step, shooting ten rounds of bows and arrows before stopping.

Although Liu's Wubao side occupied a geographical advantage, it was a pity that the range of their bows and arrows was not as good as that of Su You's side; Originally, they thought that they would not lose to Su You's side, but the truth was too cruel.

After Su You's archers only shot two rounds of bows and arrows, the defenders on the dock fort no longer dared to show their heads, and they marched step by step, directly under the city wall.

After ten rounds of bows and arrows, a total of 10,000 arrows were shot into the dock fort, Su You's team also advanced more than ten zhang, and the guards on the dock fort did not dare to raise their heads at this time.

Su You saw that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered the assaulters to act, and then they rushed to the city gate, brandishing the sword and axe in their hands and began to frantically slash at the wooden gate.

The flags on the dock fort were shaken wildly, and after a period of panic, the military flags stabilized, and they lost the advantage of the commanding heights, facing the forced city gate, and officially faced a dilemma.

Su You raised the telescope to observe the front line, and found that the commando's movement was not smooth, and the huge half of the log was difficult to cut down; If the enemy had been able to risk their lives by pouring hot oil and pushing logs from the city, the casualties of the commandos would have been great.

Is it really going to break the city?

Su You carefully calculated, how much manpower and material resources can be saved by a built city, and how much does this battle cost?

"We can't waste any more bows and arrows, and a quick battle is the most advantageous way!" Thinking of this, Su You immediately ordered the commandos to throw a round of hands/thunder into the city first, and then try to use their hands/thunder to forcibly blast open the city gate.

The feudal society pays attention to the rules, the county town cannot be higher than the capital, and the county town cannot be higher than the county town, and all forces need to get the permission and approval of the imperial court to build themselves.

Although Liu Fang violated the system and established his own dock fort, the scale of this dock fort can only be regarded as comparable to that of a small county town, which means that the height of the fort wall of this dock fort is just over three feet.

For such heights, the able-bodied commandos threw their hands in. Ray, without any pressure.

With the call of the drums, nearly 100 commandos lit their hands and grenades at the same time, and then threw them into Liu's Dock Fort.

The sound of "boom" rang out one after another, and then the earth shook.

The people in the city had been dodging the throws of Su You's bow and arrows just now, so the commandos threw their hands. Thunder didn't directly hurt them, but the fire and loud noises were all around them, how many people could withstand such oppression?

Within the dock fort, nearly a hundred hands. The explosion of thunder was followed by the sound of the guards scattering and fleeing.

The walls of the fort also began to be chaotic, and panic spread like a plague.

In the face of the sudden earth-shattering noise, many people gave up resistance and ran around the dock fort in despair, desperately looking for a way out.

The people in the dock fort had ignored the bows and arrows of Su You's side, and many people began to climb out of the city, and more and more people began to throw down their weapons and jump off the fort wall.

The lucky ones were not badly damaged, got up and quickly disappeared into the field; The unfortunate man broke his leg and foot, and lay down under the wall wailing.

"Start blasting the door!" With Su You's order, the commandos began to plant explosives, which and hands. Ray is not a concept, it was born entirely to break down doors.

The little leader of the auxiliary soldiers looked at the fleeing family members and asked Su You with some depression, "General, do you need us to arrest those people back?" ”

Su You looked at the family who kept jumping off the castle wall and then disappeared from view, and his heart was also faintly painful, these people should have been captives, and they were the most needed labor force at the moment, but it was a pity.

The problem is that these people have jumped off the city wall and fled in all directions, and if they send people to chase them, their own side may be injured by these outlaws, which is too cost-effective

Besides, if they were blocked and prevented from escaping, the guards on the fort wall would fight to the death when they saw that there was no way out; In this way, the resistance that he will encounter in the future will be too great, and the heavy cavalry will lose more than worth the loss.

"Forget it, let them run, they won't be able to escape." Su You shook his head, raised his binoculars again and began to look at the city gate.

On the other hand, after Liu Fang heard the loud sound that shook the sky, he immediately changed his concept, and made preparations for "running softly" and preparing to surrender.

However, can you really choose to surrender at this moment? Even if Su You accepts himself temporarily, it is inevitable that he will settle accounts after the autumn.

As for the "fine and soft run", why is the back door so blocked?

When Liu Fangzheng was at a loss, he suddenly heard a loud noise that was even more shocking than just now, and even if he was stupid at this time, he could guess that Su You had forcibly broken in.

"Boom"

The gate of the dock fort did not fall, but the hole in the gate of the city collapsed, which was destroyed by the explosives pack!

"The auxiliaries go to clear the road, and the heavy cavalry is ready to charge!" Following Su You's order, the archers covered the auxiliaries to move away the ruins of the fort gate after the explosion with iron and hands, and then Zhang Long led a thousand heavy cavalry into the city.

The city was broken, and it was the auxiliary soldiers who entered the city after the heavy cavalry, and then Su You passed down the order, "The archers climbed the wall and took over the defense." ”

When Su You entered the fort, the rebellion in the fort had basically been quelled, and there were less than 500 casualties in the fort, but there were 3,000 prisoners who surrendered, including Liu Fang.

Liu Fang knew that Su You couldn't tolerate him, and he was also tough when facing Su You.

Su You originally came with the purpose of "killing chickens and monkeys" and "fighting local tyrants and dividing land", so he was not merciful to Liu Fang, so he threatened his family with a side attack and made him wipe his neck.

As soon as Liu Fang died, the property in the dock fort was also distributed by Su You.

Su You didn't do too much, he only confiscated the land and most of the grain in Liu Fang's name, and there was nothing to worry about his money and family.

Liu Fang's grain stored in the dock fort is 10,000 stones, which can be eaten by 100,000 soldiers for ten days and a half months, not to mention that Su You's army does not have 100,000 people?

With a full harvest, Su You led the army back to Leshou after noon.

And with the news that Liu's Dock Fort was breached by Su You, the owners of the Dock Fort around Leshou finally realized that Su You was not joking with them, they either entered Leshou in groups or alone, and entered Leshou one after another in the afternoon of the same day, and expressed their desire to donate food to the rebels

In half an afternoon, Su You received nearly 10,000 stone of grain from these seven or eight big tyrants, with an average of more than 1,000 stone on each person's head.

Although their dedication is not as good as Liu Fang's, fortunately, they are voluntary, what luxury does Su You have for this?

Su You brought up the old matter again, and immediately proposed to them to buy most of the land in their hands, of course, all he could pay was a white slip.

For Su You's insatiable greed, these local tyrants have nothing to do, after all, the situation is weaker than people now.

Su You obtained a large number of land deeds, and then handed over the task of allocating land to Dou Jiande, and the people who were able to get these lands were needless to say that they were also the old, weak, sick and disabled who had just retired from Dou Jiande's army.

Of course, Su You's reputation became a demon in the private chat of the local tyrant, but he became an angel in the army.

Su You was obviously happy with such a result, and he also realized that he was not a treasure of gold and silver, and he couldn't make anyone like it.

What everyone likes is the flow of nostalgia.

Su You doesn't care too much about the opinions of these local tyrants now, after all, it is not them who lead the troops to fight.

As for whether they will turn against the water after they leave, it all depends on Dou Jiande's ability.

In one day, Su You raised nearly two months' worth of food for his more than 30,000 troops and the old, weak, sick and disabled who had retired, and the work of slimming down the army was also carried out in an orderly manner.

There was also good news from Shanggu, Li Jing had beheaded Wei Dao'er two days earlier and captured nearly 10,000 Wei Dao'er troops.

Li Jing will leave Shanggu within three days and prepare to come to Leshou to join Su You.
