Chapter 738, The Effect of Cool Water

Zhang Liao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately followed the order, Jia Xu was thoughtful, he knew that although Luoyang was not too far from Tongguan, after all, Zhang Liao also had to carry a large number of ironclad chariots, and the speed of the march would not be too fast, and it was very easy to leak his whereabouts when marching during the day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Therefore, it is necessary to act in advance, and moreover, only at night, as for letting him slow down, because, if he goes too early, these people will not come in handy immediately, because the good show has just begun.

Zhuge Liang's conspiracy, and Jia Xu's conspiracy, one is one and the same, the first time the dragon fights, although it is already the year of the sixtieth year, Jia Xu is surprisingly excited, this time, he wants to have a good time with Zhuge Liang 'fight', 'play' and 'compare'.

Up to now, Jia Xu has made a lot of exquisite arrangements, first, the use of thunderbolt chariots, second, the construction of sand city, third, the construction of ironclad chariots, fourth, the preparation of food and grass for three months in Tongguan City, fifth, Chen Zhi's deployment, Chen Zhi is not only to slow down Zhuge Liang's marching speed, next, he will also be ordered to completely cut off the grain route of the Xichuan soldiers!

Meng Shu and Zhuge Liang led the army to attack the city at the same time, Zhuge Liang's side, don't worry for the time being, after all, it is not easy to take a city in a short time, even if it is a sand city that has just been built, it is quite difficult.

Let's say that on Meng Huo's side, Meng Huo led an army of 50,000 to attack the city, facing the 30,000 righteous troops in the city.

It can even be said that Chen Qi deliberately let them go, and all the bows and crossbows and boulders did not attack, until the rows of cloud ladders smashed down on the heavy city wall, and Chen Qi waved his hand and ordered.

It's just that a team of soldiers carrying buckets stepped forward in unison, and put the buckets high on the city wall at the first time, Chen Qi glanced at it coldly, and saw that everyone was ready, and the dense barbarian soldiers and Xiliang soldiers under the city had climbed the ladder to attack the city, and the ladders were full of people in a short time, like a bunch of grapes that were growing well.

"Put!"

Chen Zhuo waved his hand, and these soldiers hurriedly poured the bucket out of the ladder, and the bucket was full of cold water, this kind of thing, taken from local materials, is endless, not only saves trouble and convenience, but also can cause great deterrence.

Because, the current climate is really cold and scary, otherwise, Jia Xu would not have led people to build a sand city in such a short period of time.

"Ah...... It's..."

Buckets of cold water poured down from the city wall, and the enemy soldiers on the ladder suffered immediately, but these people really couldn't understand what was the use of just splashing some cold water, it didn't hurt or itch, at most, they wet their clothes and made their bodies feel uncomfortable.

Jia Xu smiled without saying a word, standing quietly on the city wall and watching, seeing that the first wave of enemy troops was about to climb to the city tower, he ordered the archers to start firing back, and at the same time, the rolling wood and thunder stones also roared and smashed down from the top of the enemy's head.

However, the splashing of water still did not stop, and groups of rebels rushed up to the city tower alternately, and kept splashing the cold water on the enemy soldiers, although the weather was very cold, it also made many people shiver from the cold.

However, because the enemy soldiers are struggling to attack the city, almost everyone is sweating, even if they take a cold shower at this time, it doesn't matter, because their bodies are almost in 'fierce movement'.

At that time, once these people stopped attacking, or waited for them to rest at night, these enemy soldiers who were splashed with water on their bodies, even if they were strong men with steel and iron, would inevitably have an impact.

Jia Xu's trick is like a continuous spring rain, moisturizing things silently, but the effect may not be inferior to those boulders.

When sweating on the body, no matter how cold it is, it will not make people worry, but for two days in a row, not only did they pay huge casualties, not only did they not take Tongguan, but a large number of people had fallen in Meng Shu's military camp, and the situation on Zhuge Liang's side on the opposite side was not optimistic.

Many generals were weak, even if they were covered with bedding, their bodies were shaking badly, and they all shrunk into eggs, constantly trembling and twitching, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

In desperation, Zhuge Liang had to suspend the attack, and after a rough calculation, the casualties were nearly 20,000, and the cold and weak ones exceeded 20,000, and the 120,000 army suddenly reduced by three percent.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help frowning, and secretly scolded Jia Xu's despicable methods in his heart, but, at least, Jia Xu's methods were effective.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang stopped attacking, which played into Jia Xu's hands.

Originally, Jia Xu was ready to compete with Zhuge Liang for a protracted battle of patience to see who couldn't hold it first in the end.

Zhang Liao's army, like a night owl, went out by day and night, marched quietly, and did not attract the attention of the Xichuan scouts.

However, Zhang Liao has always been meticulous, he did not bury his head in the march, and did not stop sending scouts to investigate the battle in Tongguan, and learned that the two sides were in a suspended confrontation, and the situation on Zhuge Liang's side was not optimistic, Zhang Liao suddenly relieved.

However, Zhuge Liang's attack on Shacheng also made the casualties in Shacheng a lot more dangerous, originally there were only 10,000 volunteer troops stationed in the city, and they had been attacked for so long, and more than half of them had already suffered casualties.

Zhuge Liang thought that Chen Qi would send troops to reinforce him, but unexpectedly, there was no movement at all, it seemed that Chen Qi didn't want to pay attention to the life and death of those soldiers in Shacheng at all.

After resting for a few days, the soldiers and generals who were chilling on their bodies finally recovered a lot of physical strength, and Zhuge Liang had to enter Shacheng again, this time, the thunderbolt car in Tongguan did not move at all, and Zhuge Liang suddenly relieved himself.

It seems that the stone prepared in the city has been thrown out, Zhuge Liang made up his mind, the army stormed Shacheng, Shacheng resisted for two days, and was finally taken by Zhuge Liang, but, after entering the city, the soldiers searched everywhere, but did not find the bones of the three Watson brothers, Zhuge Liang's brows suddenly wrinkled.

However, the three little nameless rats did not arouse Zhuge Liang's great vigilance, since he took Shacheng, Zhuge Liang's army naturally stationed in the city, but on the periphery, Zhuge Liang still left 20,000 elite soldiers.

This is Zhuge Liang's consistent attitude, everything will be fully prepared, next, is the attack on Tongguan, Zhuge Liang put the Kong Ming lantern again, ordered Meng to repair for three days, and at the same time send troops.

Meng Shu followed the order, hurriedly led people to evacuate Tongguan, and camped five miles away from here to repair, for Zhuge Liang's approach, Jia Xu naturally knew everything about it.

It's just that he is still waiting patiently in the city, and it seems that everything is under his control, and there is nothing to worry about. (To be continued.) )
