Chapter 222: Digging a Tunnel

Ancient wars were fought no more than modern times. Modern times there are planes, tanks, artillery, missiles, rockets, satellite killers, large nuclear bombs.

In ancient times, the means of warfare were relatively poor, and there were only a few tricks to come and go. The point is who can play with the flowers.

Tian Feng gave Yuan Shao an idea, "So, so, most of them are more obvious, and the focus is on the ...... in the northeast corner." This is the ...... of the false, the real, and the real. ”

As soon as Yuan Shao heard this, it made sense, and he immediately ordered Tian Feng to take full responsibility for this matter and start preparing tonight.

On the other hand, Luoyang City, the banquet in Cao Cao's mansion is also coming to an end.

It is said that in the depths of the house, several beautiful maids, carrying lanterns, led the way for Gao Yuan and others.

Gao Yuan walked in front, Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Ba, Xiahoude and others were in the back.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! In the future, if there is a chance, my brother-in-law will take us into battle to kill the enemy! Xiahou Ba was red-faced and swayed when he walked.

Cao Zhen's head kept spinning, scratched his head, and said: "I can't wait to grow up now, and follow my brother-in-law to beat Yuan Shao!" ”

Gao Yuanxin said that you really drank too much, you grow up, if you don't beat me, I will burn high incense. However, in the blink of an eye, before Yuan Shao's threat disappeared, the two families could still coexist peacefully. He said: "Good students practice martial arts, and when they grow up in the future, they will contribute to our family!" ”

"Yes, yes......." Everyone nodded for a while, and when it came to this martial art, they still admired Gao Yuan the most.

Cao Zhang, who was the most capable of fighting, couldn't help but say, "Brother-in-law, do you have time tomorrow to teach me a few tricks?" ”

Gao Yuan is still very optimistic about these cousins and cousins, because in later generations, it is they who support Cao Wei. He smiled and said, "It's easy to say." If Yuan Benchu doesn't come tomorrow, let's study and study. He said to the others, "In a year or two, you will be able to serve in the army." ”

However, on the second day, Yuan Shao did not give Gao Yuan a chance to instruct his cousin and cousin.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the battle report came, and the large army of Yuan-Liu allied forces pulled out of the camp. Obviously, this day is going to be difficult again.

The silent Cao Cao Mansion quickly became lively and tense.

Half an hour later, in the meeting hall of the former mansion, Gao Yuan and Cao Cao were seated side by side, and the subordinates and martial arts had already gathered together.

In fact, there is nothing to say, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Cao Cao encouraged the morale of the civil and military, and said to Gao Yuan: "Virtuous son-in-law, I still need the help of virtuous son-in-law today." ”

"Well said." Gao Yuan nodded. Helping Cao Cao at this moment is also helping himself indirectly. Since it was Cao's defense after all, Gao Yuan's army could not garrison one place alone. Therefore, Gao Yuan asked Sima Yi, Zhou Cang, Yan Rou and other generals to lead the troops, and joined Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others to guard the city walls respectively.

And Gao Yuan with Zhao Yun, which is the main direction of attack of the Yuan-Liu coalition army, they will appear there.

Of course, Gao Yuan didn't want to use his forces too much in Luoyang City. also gave specific orders, and the defense of the city should still be dominated by Cao's army against the enemy. Our troops are on the sidelines to assist. If you encounter a situation of using troops alone, you must report it first.

An hour later, Gao Yuan and Cao Cao once again ascended the east gate tower of Luoyang. As far as the eye can see, hundreds of thousands of Yuan-Liu coalition troops are overwhelming. In the distance, I saw the flashes of weapons. There is no head, and the momentum is still very huge.

This time, the coalition army of 400,000 surrounded the entire city of Luoyang.

Moreover, Yuan Shao sent people to Luoshui. Cut off the water source of the Luoyang moat.

Cao Cao couldn't help frowning, his heart didn't fall to the ground, and he didn't know if he could hold Luoyang City in the end. Fortunately, he has soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass, Tongguan and Chang'an. In addition, Gao Yuan is also in the city, and the state soldiers are also foreign aid. Therefore, there is no danger of being besieged to death in Luoyang City.

However, if Luoyang City is really lost, it means that the Guanzhong region is lost, and Cao Cao is not far from death.

Yuan-Liu coalition flank.

Cai Mao's morale is much higher than yesterday, because yesterday he was in charge of the main attack. And today, it is Yuan Jun who is in charge of the main direction of attack. Therefore, he just sent Wen Ping and others to the south to prepare for the attack. In his opinion, this is a manifestation of Yuan Shao's bowing head. He couldn't do too much, after all, Yuan Shao was a prince of one side, and he was just a subordinate of one of the princes, so he said: "Duke Yuan, in today's battle, you will definitely be able to break through the city." ”

Yuan Shao just smiled, he came today, not to storm Luoyang City, but to dig tunnels.

This siege war is nothing more than water attack, fire attack, earth attack, and digging tunnels belongs to earth attack. This earth attack was able to dig not only into the city, but also the city walls.

So, Yuan Shao waved his hand.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, and the Yuan-Liu coalition army began to attack the city again.

For a time, the sky flints, flying arrows, dense exchanges. Because there were too many, many flints and arrows fired by the two sides collided in mid-air, bursting into great sparks.

With these as cover, Yuan Jun will be able to dig tunnels smoothly.

I saw Yuan Jun, who was good at digging holes, raised his shovel and dug it down, like a groundhog, and soon disappeared to the ground, leaving only the soil that was constantly being lifted out. Whatever touch the golden captain comes, he must also bow down.

Yuan Jun dug a lot of tunnels in all directions. Due to the urgency of the siege, Gao Yuan and Cao Cao were unaware.

At the head of the city, Cao Cao was still wondering, "Virtuous son-in-law, today's enemy's offensive is not as good as before." ”

"Bonghyo, what do you think?" Takato asked.

Guo Jia walked out and said, "Lord, Prime Minister, the enemy was defeated in the first two days, and the morale has been low. Seeing that the Jingzhou soldiers took the first step yesterday, it is obvious that the two sides are not really in unison. ”

Morale is low, there is no way to twist the momentum, and it is conceivable that the offensive will be greatly reduced.

Xun Yu said at this time: "Although the enemy is numerous, but weak, if you can send a group of soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the enemy, it will have a miraculous effect." ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and felt that what he said was reasonable. Now, the enemy is not concentrating, so he has to take the opportunity to fight hard. He looked at Gao Yuan, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, you still need the power of virtuous son-in-law." He hurriedly explained: "Xiahou and the others are injured, and Cao Hong and them are also guarding everywhere. ”

When he said this, he had some secret hatred. Because many of his subordinates have defected to Gao Yuan, and even Cao Cao, who is in general, is a little short of people.

Gao Yuan could also understand that when he was about to start preparations, the sound of gold suddenly sounded outside the city.

"Today's downturn, tomorrow's fight again."

Yuan Shao took the soldiers and left in an uproar.

At the head of the city, Cao Cao stomped his feet, "This Yuan is slippery enough." ”

But in any case, today passed safely. There were no losses on Gao Yuan's side, but the Yuan-Liu coalition army threw down thousands of people.

The next day, there was no news that Yuan Jun had left the camp.

Cao Cao invited Gao Yuan to patrol the city together. This patrol of the city is what the Lord will have to do every day in times of great war. Except, of course, irresponsible.

"Virtuous son-in-law, Yuan Benchu has been defeated for three days in a row, and it seems that he is going to rest for a while. Whether the virtuous son-in-law can mobilize some more soldiers and horses from the state. Cao Cao repeatedly asked for Gao Yuan, although he was a hero, but he was also weak-hearted, and explained: "Xiliang Ma Teng is eyeing the tiger, and my side really can't draw troops." ”

Gao Yuan also sloppily looked at him and said: "If there is really trouble, you should mobilize troops and horses." ”

Cao Cao also put his mind at ease, and for the first time in his life, he began to be grateful to Gao Yuan, while the rest of Cao Cao's camp was very grateful for Gao Yuan's righteous deeds.

When everyone came to the east city gate, and was saying that when they went up to the city from the staircase, Gao Yuan found that there was a small puddle next to the root of the wall, and the water in it appeared rhythmically rippling, very small, very small ripples, and if you were not careful, you could not see it at all.

Gao Yuan frowned and said, "It's not good, someone is digging a tunnel." Uncle Yue, are you digging tunnels? ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and said, "What are we doing digging tunnels to defend the city?" If you don't pay attention, you dig up your own city wall. (To be continued......)
