Chapter 197: Second Confrontation

Crossing the Yellow River can launch a feint attack on Jiguan from the north of Sili, this method is difficult, the last major war in the Sili area has been destroyed, there is no half a figure within a radius of 100 miles, such a huge destruction is also a huge difficulty for the coalition army, not to mention anything else, it is extremely difficult to convene craftsmen on the spot, there are no craftsmen there is no siege equipment, no siege equipment to capture Hangu Pass is undoubtedly a fool's dream, there is no way to build ships and erect pontoon bridges without craftsmen, and Beidu has become an empty word.

The Coalition forces were slow to cross north, which gave Mungo more time to set up the north side, but the Poison Dragon camp was there, and Mungo certainly knew that the Coalition forces were suffering from the lack of ships.

Maybe Cao Ying and others didn't expect that building siege equipment would encounter such a predicament, but there was no other way to do it, the coalition army could only take other actions, and the weather was gradually getting cooler, but Xi Zhicai was slightly hot, and it was very unfavorable to the coalition army to drag on like this, not only Xi Zhicai was irritable, but all the strategists were not very optimistic, but there were not too many clues about how to break the situation.

The person who offered this strategy was Liu Biao's strategist Kuai Liang, but he excused himself and said that this strategy was not what he thought, but someone else told him, he was just stating on his behalf, as for the name of the other party, Kuai Liang didn't want to mention it, but it didn't matter, as long as there was a good strategy to break the enemy, it was enough.

Finally had a countermeasure, Yuan Shao was very happy, and immediately said: "Building a city with soil and erecting a flying bridge, this method can indeed be used to attack the city, but it is not easy to build a high base, but now there is no time to fight, it is better to build a city with soil, I think this strategy is feasible!" ”

Finally got a feasible way, of course everyone was very happy, Yuan Shu suddenly stood up at this time and said: "That's right, the method of building a city with soil is indeed a feasible method, since there is no siege equipment, then it is understandable to use a real method, without further ado, if you don't start construction now, and strive to build the city wall as soon as possible, but since the strategy of going north is difficult to implement, how about launching a feint attack from the south Wuguan?" ”

"This is a good word, although Wuguan is in a dangerous location, but it is expected that Menggo's troops are in Hangu Pass at this time, and it is indeed a feasible way to plan from Wuguan, but if you want to detour through Wuguan, it will take a lot of time, if you choose to go along Luoshui through the mountains, you can save some time, it is better to send a surprise army!" Liu Bei agrees with this method, a feint attack is not a real attack, it only needs to pose a certain threat to Wuguan.

got the siege method, everyone said a word, the strategy was set for a while, as for the people who went south along the Luoshui through the mountains Liu Bei took the initiative to ask for help, but now Liu Bei has lost half of his troops, Liu Biao disagreed, and finally everyone discussed and decided that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao would each allocate 3,000 men and horses to support.

On the afternoon of the day when the princes decided on the strategy, there was a strange scene outside Hangu Pass, countless soldiers were like moving ants, and they quickly began to build the city, which attracted Xu Rong's attention, building a city wall to attack is indeed a way, but the terrain of Hangu Pass is dangerous, and the height is a problem, the other party is about to build a city to attack, and it takes a lot of time, not to mention that Meng Ge will not watch the other party build a city.

Seeing the other party's rapid construction of the earthen fortress, Meng Ge suddenly said jokingly: "Build a city with earth, build a flying bridge to attack the city, it seems that the other party is ready to adopt a new method, if the other party builds the earthen fortress, it will inevitably threaten our army's city wall, and at the same time, it can also be used to observe the situation in the pass, and the situation of our army inside the Hangu Pass is bound to be exposed, and the coalition army finally thought of a good way this time!" ”

"The general doesn't seem to be worried, there must be a way to deal with it!" Xia Houlan quietly muttered a few words to Zhang Liao behind him, usually at this time, Meng Ge would never speak in this tone if he had no way, Xia Hou Lan understood this very thoroughly, to be honest, he had not seen a war that could stump Meng Ge.

Jia Xu, who was standing on the side and quietly watching the other party's hard work, suddenly sneered: "The method is good, but it is too blatant, they really think we are blind!" ”

"Well, what Wen He said is very much in line with my wishes, pass on my military orders, bow and crossbow to greet them, don't let them build a city comfortably!" The corner of Meng Ge's mouth smiled sinisterly, the other party seemed to have forgotten one thing, there is a strong crossbow on his side, and he dares to mess around so blatantly, it seems that he needs to teach a little more lesson.

The order was immediately conveyed, and then the crossbowmen on the castle tower were immediately in place, and in groups of three, three hundred groups of crossbowmen quietly set up their crossbow arrows, apparently intending to use the method of splitting fire, with the width of the city wall enough for six people to form a team, and enough space for a group of three.

"Shoot!" Xu Rong calmly gave the order to shoot, and in an instant, the earthen fortress that the coalition army was casting was attacked by a rain of arrows, and more than 20 earthen fortresses were immediately covered by the rain of arrows, and the soldiers responsible for building the earthen fortress had no time to react, and were instantly shot into a hornet's nest by the rain of arrows, and the wide earthen fortress was suddenly stained with blood.

The soldiers who stopped next to the earthen fortress were attacked by the rain of arrows at the same time, although there was a shield protection, but it still caused a certain number of casualties, did the attack finally start, the judge looked worried, although he had long expected that the fortification would not be smooth sailing, but the speed of the opponent's blow was still beyond the expectations of the trial.

The front operation was blocked, and Pegasus immediately came to report: "My lord, the enemy's attack is too fierce, why don't you slow down and do it again!" ”

Seeing the soldiers constantly being injured, the judge was not moved at all, but said more firmly: "Don't stop, continue to work, the shield player's defense is tighter, set up a good shield at the slope, and defend against the enemy's bow and crossbow shots!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who came to report immediately went forward again to convey the order, and at this time, the mountain of the battlefield changed again, and after receiving the order of the trial, the rows of shields were erected higher, almost without leakage, and the soldiers responsible for burying the soil behind the shield hand carried the soil in waves, and the earthen fortress began to slowly take shape.

"It's so fast, multi-person homework is just different!" Watching the earthen ramparts gradually rise, Mongo was not worried at all, but showed a little approval, which was really confusing, just when everyone thought that Mongo was going to use the bed crossbow, suddenly Mongo made an unexpected decision.

Stop shooting, this is the final answer given by Mongo, since the strong crossbow is no longer useful, then it is better to give up the use of the strong crossbow, at the beginning it was useful because the opponent's defense was negligent, and now the opponent's shield is erected like a copper wall, of course, there is no room to play.

"General, let the other party build a fortress so comfortably, it won't take two days for this earthen barrier to be built, and then the other party can set up a flying bridge, and at the same time, the opponent's crossbowmen can also threaten our army, why don't you continue to suppress the opponent's fortress!" Su Jiande asked this question very puzzled, these dozen or so earth fortresses are definitely something that has a certain threat, and it stands to reason that the other party should not be allowed to build them easily, but now Meng Ge doesn't seem to have this meaning.

"The flybridge has to be able to be erected, and when the night comes, they will lose all their money!" Mongo is not worried at all, if it is so easy to build a take-off bridge, it will be called hell, since the day is your activity time, then it should be us at night, you build it during the day and I will dismantle it at night, is it a good thing to have a relationship!

Many people have already understood what Meng Ge meant, the other party's army is on the side at this time, and it is not easy to attack and interfere, so it is better to wait for the other party to rest at night, no need for Meng Ge to say, Xu Rong immediately asked people to prepare baskets and other objects, and then recharge their energy at night.

"The other party's arrow rain has stopped, what does this mean?" The trial frowned, but this was a good time, and the trial immediately ordered to speed up the progress, and the dirt mountains gradually rose without much effort, and the construction of the city was unexpectedly smooth, and there was no movement in Hangu Pass after that.

The Kwantung princes, who were watching from a distance, suddenly became overjoyed, and they had built a little shape so quickly, and everyone was naturally very happy, but Hangu Pass's actions made Cao Ying a little worried, he was afraid of Meng Ge's sudden attack, so tonight he had to guard against Meng Ge's attack.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we must send someone to take care of the earthen ramparts, and we can't let Mongo destroy the earthen ramparts!" As soon as Cao Ying's words came out, Yuan Shao and the others' faces suddenly became ugly, this earthen fortress is easy to build, but how to protect the earthen fortress from being destroyed by Meng Ge is another problem.

"That's true, it's really not easy to do at night, the cavalry of the Menggo thieves is powerful, it's better to send someone to build a fortress tomorrow morning, according to my estimation, it only takes two days to build an earthen fortress, I can choose to build a good earthen fortress in one go, and send a large army to guard it at night, and as soon as the earthen fortress is built, our army will immediately erect a flying bridge to attack Hangu Pass!" What Yuan Shu said was full of anger, and he had enough of this bird anger these days, and this time he finally thought of a way to cross the Hangu Pass.

The siege of the fortification initially achieved certain results, the coalition army was excited, and the opposite of this method was not in line with Mongo, how could this make the other party not excited, seeing that there was a dawn of breaking the deadlock, the morale of the coalition army was high for a while, and the morale of the previous two routs was swept away, and the morale began to rise faintly.

Just when the two armies were facing each other, there were two people on the top of the mountain not far away, these two people were no one else, it was the two people who assassinated Mongo in the past, the person holding the feather fan saw that his method was beginning to show results, and he was a little proud between his eyebrows, the method of building a city with soil was exactly what he taught, if the Kwantung princes could help kill Mongo, he didn't mind.

"Ghost Valley Hidden Dragon, isn't this method inappropriate?" The big man who followed the young man didn't seem to want to see this scene, and there was a suspicion in his words.

The young man known as the Hidden Dragon of the Ghost Valley was slightly surprised, but he quickly covered up the past, and said casually: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just provided a way to siege the city, this move is to get rid of Menggo's forces, of course it is feasible, and even if I don't say it, some people in the Kwantung Coalition Army will think that I just sped up a little time, and there is nothing wrong with it!" ”

"Yes! I understand it below! Dahan wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he definitely retreated.

"Well, it's good to understand, but the torture sword, shouldn't you get rid of some of the aura contaminated in the red dust, such as the way of thinking, what you considered just now seems to be redundant, we should focus on not crossing the galaxy, you understand!" The Hidden Dragon of Guigu said casually and lightly, but the big man known as the torture sword was struck by lightning, and then retreated gloomily.

A smart man can understand with a little mention, but there are some things that cannot be forgotten, and the two of them stopped for a moment and left the place, but their minds were different.

Someone in the dark calculated Meng Ge once, but this time it may not be called a calculation, anyway, the situation that will come sooner or later, it's just a little earlier, but the crisis is an opportunity, and breaking the situation from the crisis is what Meng Ge has to consider now, as for who came from this method, Meng Ge has no intention of calculating, and he can't care, who knows who in the Kwantung Coalition Army came up with such a ghost idea.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Xiahou Lan did not see the other party's army withdrawing, and hurriedly reported: "General, the enemy army should defend outside the city tonight, it seems a little difficult to demolish the opponent's earthen fortress!" ”

"Oh!" Knowing that it was not so simple, Meng Ge seemed to have expected it, so he turned his head and said to Xia Houlan: "Since the other party has taken protective measures, then it is just right, tonight night attack, as usual, you go to numb the other party's nerves!" ”

"Ah, why am I again?" Xia Houlan suddenly wilted, but she didn't expect to end up with a drudgery this time.

"If you don't want to go, then forget it, I'll let Wen Yuan go!" Meng Ge immediately changed his words, he has always been very tolerant of his subordinates Meng Ge, since he doesn't want to make meritorious contributions, then let others go, it's rare for someone to be so humble, many people are red-eyed!

"Hey!" Xia Houlan immediately grabbed Meng Ge and said hurriedly: "I'll go, I'll go, then I'll go and prepare first!" ”

Meng Ge, who was immersed in checking the deployment of the enemy's troops, waved his hand, Xia Houlan went down with interest, this guy was really excited in his heart, it was only a few days before he had a chance, he was too late to be happy, this kind of opportunity is never too much, not to mention the errand of paralyzing the other party's nerves is relatively simple as soon as he hears it.

Xiahou Lan left beautifully, just after checking the changes in the deployment of the opponent's troops, Meng Ge who raised his head seemed to be a little absent-minded, since there were a lot of inexplicable things Meng Ge always felt a little wrong, thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is strange that so many things have happened, for example, Gang Qi is the most weird.

What's wrong? Mongo rubbed his temples, and when he had nothing to do, Mongo thought about something, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, because he found that almost everywhere was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, and this feeling of distress made Mongo very uncomfortable.

Meng Ge, who had never been able to find a clue, shook his head vigorously and cleared these thoughts out, the top priority was to repel the Kwantung coalition army, and the rest of the matter was not as important as this matter......
