Cao Cao's water irrigated Ye City, and the city became a Ze country.

On the streets, the water is waist-deep.

Occasionally, one or two drowned corpses floated down the current.

Many Yuan soldiers waded through the water, searching the streets for people who were still alive, piggybacking on the corpses to recover them so that they would not soak and stink and cause the plague.

In the granary, the soldiers of the Yuan army carried bags of grain out of the warehouse full of stagnant water.

The grain has been soaked and fluffy, and if it is not dried, it will become moldy.

Cao Jun is still outside the city, if there is no food in the city, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The judge stood at the head of the city.

He was soaked with water, and the hem of his clothes was dripping with water.

"Judge the public!" A lieutenant came up behind him, clenched his fists and said, "The city is flooded by great water, and many people have died, and most of the grain and grass have been destroyed......

"Help! Save the food! The judge said: "The Cao army is besieging the city, if there is no food, Yecheng will be broken sooner or later." ”

"Cao Cao has led the army here for several months, why is the son ......" The lieutenant said halfway, and when he saw that the judge's face was not good, he swallowed the second half of the words.

Looking up at the sky, the judge sighed long.

Since Guandu and Cangting, the Yuan family has been declining.

However, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, if the princes of the Yuan family can work together, it will not be easy for Cao Cao to enter Hebei.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang fought for Hebei, and at first they were only fighting in secret.

When Yuan Shang died, the contradiction between the two surfaced, and later it was the two sides that led the army to conquer.

Cao Cao took advantage of the discord between the Yuan brothers and the soldiers to arrive in Yecheng so quickly.

If the fifth prince ......

Thinking of Yuan Xu, the judge's heart was desolate again.

If Hebei is controlled by Yuan Xu, Cao Cao will definitely find it difficult to find the opportunity to enter Hebei.

The world is complicated, where are the many ifs?

The judge only hated the two sons who were not angry, and after the defeat, he didn't think about how to kill himself, but instead served Cao Cao, so that he owed Feng Ji a favor and was coerced from then on.

It's too late to regret it, all he can do is live and die with Yecheng.

When Yecheng City is broken, he can only die to thank the Yuan family!

The defenders of Yecheng were busy rescuing people and grabbing food, and Yuan Xu led the army to the outside of Xudu.

Cao Cao greeted the emperor and took Xu Di as the capital.

After years of development, this place has already become the most noisy place in Yuzhou.

Merchants are endless, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Occasionally, one or two large armies would come to the city, and they would soon be broken by Cao's army.

Yuan Xu led the army here, and the people of Xudu were not panicked.

In the market, people come and go, and the shops on the side of the road are also open as usual.

At the head of the city, Cao Jun's spears were in full array, which was in stark contrast to the peace in the city.

The people didn't care about Yuan Xu's army that was forcing Xudu, but Jia Xu and the others knew that this time was different from the past.

If Yuan Xu was greedy and rushed into Xu Du too early, Jia Xu still had a way to break him.

However, Yuan Xu was not in a hurry to march, but stationed in Guyang for a long time, and only after the stable grain and grass in Runan did he lead the army westward.

The defenders in the city, in terms of numbers, are not much smaller than the Tianhai battalion under Yuan Xu's command.

However, Yuan Xu besieged the city, and Jia Xu, Li Dian, Yu Ban and others who were defending the city felt an invisible huge pressure from outside the city.

"Jia Gong!" Standing side by side with Jia Xu on the city wall, Li Dian said: "Although there are not many soldiers and horses under Yuan Xianxin, everyone is brave and good at fighting, if there is no strong reinforcement from outside, Xu Du is only afraid of ......"

"The two armies haven't started a war yet, how can the general lose his courage?" Jia Xu said: "And Yuan Xianxin is besieging the city, we just close the city and don't come out, see what he can do with me." ”

"Jia Gong's strategy is very proper." Yu Ban said: "Out of the city to face the battle, our army is not Yuan Xianxin's opponent." If the city is closed, the other army is only twice as large as our army, so how easy is it to capture Xudu? ”

Jia Xu and others decided to close the city and not come out.

Yuan Xu, who led the army to Xudu, also summoned everyone to the tent.

In the tent, Tian Feng, Yuan Kang, Ma Yi, Zhao Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals sat on both sides, and their eyes were all looking at Yuan Xu.

Looking around at everyone, Yuan Xu said: "Our army is coming to Xudu, and Jia Xu and others will definitely close the city." Do you think it's best to break the city? ”

The generals looked at each other, while Tian Feng stroked the beard on his chin and was silent.

After a while, Gao Ran stood up, clasped his fists and said to Yuan Xu: "Cao Cao led the water into Yecheng, why don't we follow the example and pour the water into Xuchang?" ”

Yuan Xu shook his head and said, "Zhangshui is higher than Yecheng, so you can drink water to pour in." Near Xudu, but there is no river available, the method of water diversion is only afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Looking at Li Zhi, Yuan Xu asked, "Does General Li have a way?" ”

Li Zhi, who was born in the digging camp, heard Yuan Xu's question, and immediately replied: "How many secret tunnels the son wants to dig, the general will definitely do his best." ”

Yuan Xu smiled slightly and said: "Dig out the secret passage, if the Cao army will have a way out from the city, it will still be difficult for our army to enter the city." ”

Li Zhi didn't say anything more.

He had been leading the digging battalion to dig tunnels for many years, and of course he knew that the role of the tunnels was just icing on the cake.

To really break the city, it is necessary for the soldiers to storm the city and knock open the city gate.

"General Lee." Yuan Xu said: "How long will it take to dig a hole along the wall of Yecheng and cause the city wall to collapse?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned: "Childe wants to ......"

"Hollow out the corners of the walls and cause them to collapse." Yuan Xu said: "The project must be huge, and I don't know how many days it will take to give General Li time?" ”

Li Zhi's face was embarrassed: "Son, it is not difficult to hollow out the foot of the city wall, but it is not easy to collapse the city wall." ”

"The walls are so solid that even if they are all hollowed out, they will only fall, and if they are to collapse, it will take more time than building a new city."

"General Li has been digging tunnels for many years, but I don't know if he has ever dug an inclined place?"

"Where there is an underground tunnel, there is nowhere to excavate." Li Zhi said: "It's just what Childe thinks, it's really a bit unrealistic......"

"General Li stepped forward." Yuan Xu beckoned to Li Zhi.

Confused, he got up and came to him, and Li Zhi clasped his fists and bowed.

Spread out a silk silk on the table, and Yuan Xu quickly drew a pattern.

After the painting was finished, he pointed to the pattern and asked Li Zhi, "If this method is followed, can the city wall collapse?" ”

Tunnels are excavated all year round, and Li Zhi can certainly understand the map.

After browsing, Li Zhi was stunned: "How did Childe come up with this method?" ”

"The slope determines the angle at which the wall falls." Yuan Xu said: "When excavating, General Li ordered the soldiers to set aside the slope, once the city wall fell, the foundation was unstable and there was no support everywhere, how not to collapse? ”

"Childe is very worried! This will make the soldiers dig! Li Zhi said: "It's just that it costs a lot to hollow out the city wall, and it will take a month ......or two to say the least."

"General Li is the one who co-ordinates." Yuan Xu said: "How many people are needed, just speak, and a certain person is transferred for the general from all over the country!" ”

"Don't worry, Childe, it will be promoted as soon as possible!" Li Zhi withdrew from the tent. (To be continued.) )
