After a whole day of onslaught, the Jiangdong Army finally retreated.

When the Jiangdong army retreated like a tide, Yuan Que was already exhausted, and he sat directly on the head of the city with his buttocks, and he was so tired that Yuan Ran didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Childe, are you alright?" Xu Sheng was also very tired, but he still stepped forward to pick up Yuan No.

"Don't move, let me rest, let me rest first." Yuan Hao hurriedly stopped Xu Sheng, turned his head and saw Liu Ye who was also tired and panting on the ground like a dog not far away, so he smiled and said, "Ziyang, how many did you kill?" ”

"Six." Liu Ye proudly stretched out six fingers, and asked Yuan if he said, "Gong, what about you?" ”

Yuan Wei smiled and stretched out a finger.

"One?" Liu Ye was surprised, "Can't you?" ”

"What one, it's ten." Yuan Wei didn't have a good airway.

In today's battle, Yuan Wei really fought his own life, not to mention the first soldier and bravery, and killed ten Jiangdong soldiers with his own hands, of course, the ones killed were the lowest-level pawns, those Jiangdong veterans above the rank of captain, Yuan Nor did he not encounter them, but they were all killed by Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng could not stop Yuan Que from taking the lead, nor could he let Yuan Que be in danger, and it was really strange for him to embarrass him.

Fortunately, the longest day since the beginning of the war has finally passed, and the nest is still not lost!

"So you're really losing?" Liu Ye smiled, but after laughing, he said worriedly, "But Childe, I'm afraid that tomorrow will be more difficult than today." ”

Yuan is silent, tomorrow will be more difficult, this is needless to say.

But. What else can be done? So far, I can only fight.

Let's fight, let's fight. Now the two sides are competing for will. It depends on who has the stronger will and can bear the pressure more!

As he spoke, there was a sudden loud scream above his head, and when he looked up, he saw dozens of boulders tumbling and flying from the void, and then slammed down towards the head of Nanguan City.

Sister N, Zhou Yu of the dog day, Yuan Wei cursed viciously in his heart.

The Jiangdong infantry had just retreated. Long-range strike weapons are starting again?

Could it be that Zhou Yu of the dog day is also a traverser? Otherwise, how would he understand the principle of use of artillery? Isn't it true that before putting in the infantry, there is a preparation of artillery fire, and after the end of the attack, there is another wave of artillery coverage, is it not a model of artillery use in later generations? How did Zhou Yu'er know? Is it just a coincidence?

(Dividing Line)

Of course, Zhou Yu is not a traverser, this is indeed just a coincidence.

Not only Yuan Wei was puzzled, but even Sun Ce and Lu Meng were also very puzzled.

Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu in surprise: "Gongjin, it's almost dark, and the siege battle is over." Why launch catapults to bombard the city walls? Isn't that a big deal? ”

In Sun Ce's view, catapults bombarded the infantry before they attacked. It is very necessary, because the loud sound of the catapult attack and the terrifying sight of the boulder flying in the air can deal a heavy blow to the morale and fighting spirit of the defenders, and in turn, it can greatly boost the confidence and fighting spirit of your own soldiers, so it is very necessary.

However, catapults have a useful life and cannot be used indefinitely.

Because when throwing boulders, the throwing arm will inevitably bear a huge shear force, so each catapult will be fired at most fifty or sixty times, and then it will be completely scrapped.

Therefore, although the catapult is easy to use, it cannot be used casually without restraint.

Faced with Sun Ce's questioning, Zhou Yu said: "No, this is by no means superfluous. ”

"Not too much?" Sun Ce frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer and asked: "Bo Fu, how is the morale of our army in today's siege?" ”

Sun Ce said without thinking: "Extremely high, due to the stimulation of the slaughter order, the soldiers fought bravely one by one, and the fighting spirit they showed can be said to be unprecedentedly high!" ”

Zhou Yu said again: "So, have you ever taken Juchao City?" ”

Sun Ce said with some displeasure: "Gongjin, didn't you ask knowingly? If Juchao City is won, you and I will have to stand here, eat and sleep in the open air, but we can only sit and watch Yuan Xiao'er wander in the city? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "So, Bo Fu thinks that the fighting spirit and morale of our army tomorrow can be higher than today?" ”

"I can't." Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Today, the morale and fighting spirit of our army are only afraid that they have reached the extreme, but tomorrow it will not be even higher." ”

Zhou Yu said again: "So, if you can't win Juchao today, does Bo Fu think you can win it tomorrow?" ”

Sun Ce was dumbfounded, yes, he didn't win the nest today, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to win the nest tomorrow.

Lu Meng couldn't hold his breath anymore and said, "But Dudu, didn't you say that you would settle down in the nest tomorrow?" ”

"That's right, I said that." Zhou Yu turned his head, looked at Juchao Nanguan, and said faintly, "Whether you can take Juchao City tomorrow depends on this wave of catapults." ”

Lü Meng said, "What do you mean by this? ”

Zhou Yu stomped the ground with his foot and asked, "Ziming, tell me what you found?" ”

Lu Meng looked at the ground under Zhou Yu's feet and replied, "Footprints, I saw a footprint below." ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said: "What you see is only the appearance, look again, look carefully, look with your heart, not with your eyes." ”

Hearing this, Lu Meng closed his eyes and began to think intently, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly: "I know!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and asked again, "Now please tell me again, what did you see?" ”

"Soft soil!" Lu Meng said excitedly, "After half a month of soaking in the lewd rain, the ground under the feet of the governor has become extremely soft. ”

Zhou Yu asked again, "What else?" ”

Lu Meng turned his head, looked at the city wall of Juchao Nanguan from afar, and said in a deep voice: "In the same way, after half a month of soaking in the lewd rain, the rammed earth of Juchao City will definitely become soft!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Yu looked appreciative and said, "Ziming, you didn't disappoint me. ”

At this time, Sun Ce finally reacted and said, "Gong Jin means that he used a catapult to blast a gap in the city wall?" ”

"That's right." Zhou Yu nodded heavily and said, "Since the pointed head can't hit the city gate, and the wooden ox cart can't crash the city wall, then, let's use the catapult to blast out a gap, and then the army breaks through the gap, as long as a gap is opened, our army will win, and Yuan's army will be defeated!" ”

Lu Meng quickly calmed down from his excitement, and suddenly thought of another question, and asked, "But Dudu, there is another question. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng with encouraging eyes and asked, "Ziming, what problem did you think of?" ”

Lü Meng said: "The power of catapults is certainly stronger than that of pointy heads and wooden ox carts, but it is difficult to collapse the city wall by such an aimless and comprehensive bombardment. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng, the look in his eyes had changed from appreciation to admiration, and said with a smile: "Okay, Ziming, you have grown again." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu changed his words and continued: "But you still only see the surface, but not the deep layer. ”

Lu Meng hurriedly said: "Please also ask the governor to instruct." ”

Zhou Yu said: "You thought of concentrating all the catapults to bombard a little, which would be easier to effect, but I didn't think that if the inner and outer walls of the city wall were intact, even if all fifty catapults were bombarded in a concentrated manner, it would be difficult to be effective, so we must choose a weak point for concentrated bombardment, and the current wave of bombardment is to find out the weak point of the city wall!" ”

"Weak spots?" Lu Meng looked at the wall of the nest blankly, and subconsciously asked, "Can you really find it?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and then continued, "Look at it, there will be results soon." ”

The bombardment of the catapult lasted for half an hour, and after throwing thousands of boulders on the wall of Juchao Nanguan, accompanied by a military order from Zhou Yu, it finally stopped.

The catapult stopped bombarding, but Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Lu Meng did not leave the hill.

At this time, it was already dark, and torches were soon lit when the nest city was closed.

In the firelight, there were still faint noisy voices in the nest city, as well as the sound of trumpets one after another.

Lu Meng reacted immediately and said hurriedly: "Dudu, it must be that the bricks on the inside of the city wall have collapsed, and they are repairing the city wall!" ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Juchao was originally a small city, the city wall was only built with rammed earth, and there were no bricks inside and outside, or Yuan Wei recruited displaced people to burn green bricks after living in the nest, and added a layer of bricks to the outside of the city wall, but there were still no bricks on the inside, due to the previous rain on the Jianghuai land, the rammed earth of the city wall was inevitably soft, so in the wave of bombardment just now, the inner side of the city wall collapsed!" ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu asked again: "Ziming, can you see which city wall collapsed?" ”

"I see!" Lu Meng pointed to the front and said excitedly, "It's on the right side of the city pass, near the southeast corner, where the fire is the brightest, indicating that the people gathered are also the most, and there must be a weak point!" ”

"Hehe, good!" Zhou Yu smiled slightly, turned back to Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, did you hear that?" The southeast corner is the weak point of the city wall, and early tomorrow morning, all the catapults will be concentrated to bombard the southeast corner of the city wall, which will inevitably open the gap, and then, my Jiangdong army can flock into the city from the gap in the southeast corner, so that the nest can go down! ”

"That's how it is, it's like this!" Sun Ce also got excited and hit the knot hard.

After finishing speaking, Sun Ce looked back at Lu Meng and said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, I really didn't expect that you would not only be able to command and use troops, but also be so good at preaching and teaching, I can't help but want you to accept a few more disciples. Ha ha. (To be continued......)
