Chapter 708, Zhuge Liang's cleverness
P.S. Today is the last day of 2016, I wish my friends a happy new year in advance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the thunderbolt can suppress the offensive of the Xichuan soldiers, the soldiers on the castle tower become a lot more panicked, whether it is the crossbowmen who shoot arrows or the soldiers who throw boulders and rolling logs, they will be more or less affected.
However, after all, the Xichuan soldiers are condescending, and under their feet is the Tongguan that is like an iron wall, even if many people are flustered, on the whole, the Xichuan soldiers still have the upper hand, and the advantage is very obvious.
Although the power of the thunderbolt is amazing, the range is long enough, but the accuracy is worse after all, more of a role, is to cover other troops, suppress the Xichuan soldiers' firepower, however, the Xichuan soldiers' city defense equipment, but do not need any aiming, their accuracy, rarely missed, because, the rebels are attacking the city, the sea of people is like a tide, dense, swarming, even if a stone is thrown down, people will be knocked down.
The momentum of the righteous army is amazing, there are bows and crossbows in the air, there are boulders thrown at them, there are crazy charging generals on the ground, and there are siege equipment that is constantly advancing in the middle.
Rumble...
Meng Jie's side, suddenly a boulder smashed down from the sky above his head, Meng Jie screamed in surprise, and broke out in a cold sweat.
With a piercing explosion, a lot of gravel splashed out, and some also flew to Meng Jie's body, Meng Jie screamed, and when he looked back, not far from himself, three soldiers had been smashed and fell in a pool of blood, one head blossomed, two chests were smashed, and even the intestines flowed out, and the frightened Meng Jie hurriedly took a few steps back.
The piercing sound kept ringing in his ears, Meng Jie just raised his head, and more than a dozen boulders flew over his head, and the frightened Meng Jie hurriedly shrank up and hid.
The power of the thunderbolt, although once it is hit, will die very miserably, but it is more about destroying the enemy's psychological defense, even if they are not hit, these enemy soldiers will be afraid in their hearts, and they will become more and more panicked, because they don't know when they will be hit.
When the cloud car approached the Tongguan city wall, the offensive of the righteous army became more and more fierce, standing on the cloud car, you can even overlook the Tongguan city, because the height of the cloud car is as high as more than ten zhang, and its height even exceeds the Tongguan city wall.
The archers on both sides finally started a fair duel, and the pressure of the rebels charging below dropped sharply, and it didn't take long for one after another siege ladders to smash on the walls of Tongguan.
"Smash me quickly, don't let the thieves climb the tower."
Although he was flustered in his heart, Meng Jie knew that once Tongguan fell, it would not be a matter of panic, and his life would be gone.
As soon as he stood up, a wave of fierce arrow rain rushed towards him, Meng Jie hurriedly swung his sword to resist, but he was still shot in the shoulder.
As soon as the ladder fell on the city wall, the righteous soldiers who were not afraid of death climbed up the ladder one after another, but it didn't take long for them to fall down from it, some of the ladders were overturned by the enemy soldiers, some of the soldiers were hit by boulders, some were smashed down by the rolling wood, and even the Xichuan soldiers prepared a lot of boiling hot oil.
Tongguan is known as the Xiongguan that is not opened by a husband, even if Chen Zhuo is well prepared, he also occupies the advantage of a surprise attack in time, but it is not realistic to take Tongguan immediately, the Xichuan soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the righteous army fell to the ground in pieces.
Even if Pound personally led his troops into the war, the stalemate situation still did not change in the slightest.
………………
"Report, general, Zhao Yun's men and horses have been found in the direction of Fancheng, and there is Gao Shun in the army, and there are about 20,000 people."
Huang Zhong waved his hand and commanded in a deep voice, "Probe and report again." ”
The scout who reported the news agreed, and hurriedly retreated, Huang Zhong's hand was twisted with silver hair, his face sank like water, and after a while, two sharp rays of light burst out from the pair of fierce tiger eyes, "Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, I didn't expect you to come, fortunately, my military advisor is smart." ”
Ma Chao led the troops to charge in front, and led the troops into Jingzhou early, Zhuge Liang was in the middle of the dispatch, although Zhuge Liang was not completely sure that Chen Qi would send troops, but he had always been cautious, and still left Huang Zhong's men and horses in Ba County.
Once the situation changed, Huang Zhong could take it by surprise and instantly reverse the unfavorable situation of the Xichuan soldiers.
Zhao Yun and Gao Shun were ordered to send troops to help Cao Pi, but they didn't expect that Huang Zhong, an old and strong tiger, would stare at them behind them.
Ma Zhong and Pan Zhang were reluctantly recruited by Zhuge Liang, not only did they come, but they also brought 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers.
For Zhuge Liang's approach, Jiangdong naturally hates it to the bone, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak, while Xichuan is up and down to Zhuge Liang is all respectful, especially Ma Yan, who has been following Zhuge Liang's side, and worships Zhuge Liang like a god.
"Military advisor, Ma Zhong and Pan Zhang, it's not that I, Ma Mengqi, look down on the two of them, they are really embarrassed."
After leading the troops to Xiangyang and setting up camp, Ma Chao came to Zhuge Liang's tent, and as soon as his front foot entered the tent, Ma Chao snorted dissatisfiedly.
It's not that Ma Chao is conceited, Jiangdong really makes him look down on him, where is there any capable person in Jiangdong now? These two people came, but they just made up the number of people and waved their flags and shouted for the Xichuan soldiers.
"Meng Qi, you are wrong, since Jiangdong and my Xichuan have formed an alliance, only I Xichuan is the first to look forward, it is naturally reasonable to let them send troops to help, this is also what they should do, even if they are useless, they can't let them stay in Jiangdong, Meng Qi, you have to understand, Jiangdong, we will take it after all in the future."
Although it was not explicitly stated, Zhuge Liang's implication was that the fewer generals in Jiangdong, the better, and it was best to never have them.
As long as there are generals in Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang will exhaust them, and he will transfer these people to serve as cannon fodder.
Zhuge Liang thinks long-term, but also thoughtful, if Jiangdong accumulates grass and grain, sooner or later he will get out of Xichuan's control, if he is weak, he doesn't even have the power to protect himself, he can only rely on Xichuan forever to obey orders, Xichuan wants to take Jiangdong, it's just a matter of effort.
Zhuge Liang is indeed clever, and Sun Quan also had to send troops to Jingzhou to help in the war, but Jingzhou is not without capable people!
At this moment in Jiangdong, in Sun Quan's line, Sun Quan gathered the strategists around him together and was discussing countermeasures.
Zhou Yu took away 20,000 people before, almost all the army was wiped out, and there were less than 30,000 people left in Jiangdong, this time, he was transferred 20,000 by Zhuge Liang, and now Jiangdong, anyone can raise their hands to destroy it, the situation is extremely urgent, and Sun Quan has to plan early.
This Zhuge Liang is so ruthless, even if you want to try your guts, people won't give you this opportunity. (To be continued.) )
