Donghai County, Xuzhou, compared with the Western Front and the conspiracy-ridden county, Zhuge Jin is much more low-key along the way, originally Zhuge Jin did not have many soldiers and horses under his hands, only Tai Shici's 8,000 right army and 2,000 Zhuge Jin's own troops plus thousands of miscellaneous cards from all over the country, and the face of Donghai County soldiers and horses is not much, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Sun Guan is seriously ill and can not be a director, and Donghai County is an eventful place, In addition, the Qingzhou Army was not the main force in the first place, compared to Cao Wei's main force, the combat power of the Central Army was still inferior, not to mention the elite of the right army in the Wu army.

In this way, Zhuge Jin led the army to defeat the Wei army in Donghai County, and marched north all the way to besiege Sun Guan's 20,000 remnants in Licheng, which can be said to be the most powerful of the three-way army, which surprised many people.

The Qingzhou thieves of the past are now Zang Ba and Sun Guan are alive, and the two of them are leading the history of the Qingxu Thorn respectively, and they are high-powered and dominate one side, but no matter how powerful the power is, it can't withstand the destruction of the years. Now the dignified Qingzhou Thorn Shi is besieged in a small city, and he can only lie on the sickbed, dying but not dead, so he is not sad.

And it's not good where it is surrounded, but it is also Licheng. This Licheng was originally a small county, Jian'an three years from Donghai County to set up Licheng County, the seat of governance in Licheng, but when Cao Pi's three-way army conquered Wu, Licheng County soldier Cai Fang took the opportunity to start an incident, headed by Tang Zhi, attacked and killed Licheng Taishou Xu Qian, and later this county was abolished.

This Licheng was not originally a place with a heart for Wei, who knows if Tang Zhi and others have any remnants in Licheng, and this Tang Zhi is not simple. After this person was defeated by the Wei army, he only took hundreds of guards to cross the sea to the south and took refuge in the Wei State, and now he is also the general of An Yuan, and 3,000 soldiers are helping under Zhuge Jin.

In order to attack Licheng and eliminate this Qingzhou army, Zhuge Jin racked his brains, and even had a tendency to be possessed by his second brother. Several schemes were pushed out in a row.

In fact, the Wu army that attacked Licheng this time, plus the troops who assisted in the battle, were only less than 20,000, and there were more than 20,000 Wei troops in Licheng, which can be said to be equal in terms of strength. Therefore, in order to create a strong situation of overwhelming the enemy with large soldiers, Zhuge Jin decided to learn from Zhang Fei's trick used in Changban Slope to scare Cao Cao - a plan to confuse the enemy.

So Zhuge Jin ordered the only few hundred cavalrymen, no one with a twig tied to the tail of the horse, to run back and forth behind the dense forest or slope far from the city wall in the south, so as to raise a large cloud of dust, causing a kind of countless soldiers and horses. A constant stream of mobilization.

In order to continue to maintain the illusion, Zhuge Jin also ordered Tai Shici to build many more fake villages overnight, only planting empty flags and ignoring people. Behind the wall, countless straw men and dummies were erected, and cattle and sheep were used to beat gongs and drums. Create a false impression of training the army. Since the stockade is some distance from the city wall. The fake village and the real village are intertwined, so that the enemy in the city can't see through the real and fake, and I think that the Wu army has a large number of people this time.

Although the Qingzhou army and Zhuge Jin's Wu army have fought several times, it is considered to know its roots, but it is not impossible for the Xuzhou Dai Gang Department to have no follow-up reinforcements, and Sun Guan is unable to govern, so the army in the city is quite uneasy.

And it was the fifth day of dawn after the siege. After Tai Shi Ci besieged the city for a week, he found another Achilles heel in Licheng. Although the city was built on the south side of the river, the main city was still some distance away from the river and was connected to the city by a canal to the north. It is the main source of water in the city.

So at the suggestion of Tai Shici, Zhuge Jin sent another 3,000 people to start construction day after day, blocking the canal and cutting off the source of water in the city. Although the river is not dense, this is the only river that can be used for water.

The water source was cut off, the people in the city were panicked, and Sun Guan could not be governed, so his Sun Sun Yu had to take over the power of the army. In view of the water shortage in the city, Sun Yu was anxious to dig a well in the city, but the city was not anywhere else, and the water was not much before digging three zhangs, and tens of thousands of mouths in the city could only rely on the limited water supply of several wells to barely survive, which can be described as miserable.

After seven days of siege, Zhuge Jin estimated that the people in the city were already panicked and the morale of the army was shaken, and the Wu army launched an offensive. However, it was not a siege, but a battle without gunpowder.

On the fifth day of the siege, Anyuan General Tang Zhi began to shoot into the city to persuade the letter, the letter said that he was Tang Zhi, if there were righteous people who opposed Wei together, they knew that he was not dead, but fled to the Eastern Wu side and is now reused by the Emperor of Wu. On the one hand, there is naturally a necessary threat to play the emotional card, and the letter also said that this battle is only to annihilate the remnants of Sun Guan's army, and if the officials and people in the city can arrest Sun Guan and surrender the city, then the official position of the officials will remain the same, and the people will not move. Otherwise, after the city is broken, the whole city, young and old, will be slaughtered.

Tang Zhi was not the leader of the uprising back then, but the rebels of the uprising jointly elected Tang Zhi as the leader, which shows that his people have prestige here. Moreover, Licheng County once rebelled, and it was impossible for Wei to kill all the people who started the incident, and there were not many people in the center of the city to Wei at this time, and now the garrison in the city is also Sun Guan's Qingzhou Army, which has nothing to do with them.

In the next few days after throwing the letter of persuasion, there was a commotion in the city, and Sun Yu even reduced the amount of water supplied to the local people to control the people, but this deepened the people's antipathy towards these foreign bandits, and the city was full of complaints for a while.

During the ten days of the siege, the royal family of Eastern Wu was not idle with a large number of engineering tools and new-style thunderbolt vehicles from Jianye, and Zhuge Jin sent many soldiers to make stone bullets to prepare for a fatal blow to the Qingzhou army. Finally, on the fifteenth day of the siege, the Wu army began its first siege.

On the day of the siege, although the number of new thunderbolts was too small to cause substantial damage to the city, the momentum caused by its powerful power really made the defenders fearful, and the morale of the defenders was greatly reduced for a while.

After attacking for two days, the Wu army chose to temporarily suspend the battle when the strong attack could not be broken. But in the night of the same day, the whole army had a full meal, and in the dead of night, under the cover of darkness, quietly opened the camp.

In the night sky, a bright moon hung far away in the sky, and the milky white moonlight was scattered on the quiet earth. Outside the tent of the Wu military camp, Tai Shi Ci stood with a gun in the face of the night wind, a pair of starry eyes silently stared at Licheng, and between his eyebrows, a strong murderous aura was spreading.

"Ziyu, we have besieged the city for more than ten days but there is still no progress, but today we gathered an army and I don't know what it is" Tai Shici and Zhuge Jin are also half of the countrymen, and they also have a kind reminder when they ask questions at this time.

However, Zhuge Jin smiled and said: "General Ziyi, I said earlier that there is no need to be anxious, the city is broken today." ”

"Oh!!" Tai Shi Ci raised his eyebrows, his gray beard scurried in the wind, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw that there was one less general behind Zhuge Jin: "Should the inside be combined with the outside?" ”

Zhuge Jin smiled when he heard this, but said to his personal guards: "The hour is almost igniting!" ”

A guard rode a fast horse and quickly disappeared into the night, and at this time, on a hill to the southeast of Licheng, a pillar of beacon fire rose into the sky, and it was clearly visible within a radius of more than ten miles.

In the middle of the night, the night of spring and March was still a little chilly, the city heel, more than a thousand defenders were sleeping with their clothes, fighting hard for a day, perhaps it was more appropriate to say that they had been suffering a day of stones, these soldiers were already exhausted, at this time holding weapons against the wall, leaning on each other and falling asleep. However, there were still many soldiers on duty at the head of the city, who endured their exhaustion and stuck to their posts in the middle of the night. The Wei soldiers had been standing in the night wind for more than an hour, and they were all shivering with cold unconsciously.

"Look, what's that to the southeast?" A sharp-eyed soldier first appeared a beacon of fire a few miles away, and as a veteran, he immediately realized that the beacon fire was unusual.

"Well, it's likely to be a signal from the enemy, maybe they're going to make a surprise attack at night, quick, go and report to the major general."

The commander gave the order, and the soldier hurried down the city, and just as he walked down the city, he was shocked by what he saw.

On the street directly opposite the south gate, in the dim light, the people who were pressed in the dark were pressing towards the city gate. These seemingly ordinary people, with sticks or iron farm tools in their hands, and even short knives in their arms, all of them have hideous faces and great hostility.

The veteran immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately shouted: "Wake up, everyone, the mob is going to rebel, wake up, everyone." (To be continued......)
