Chapter 350: The stalemate continues
"The demon snake is really powerful!!"
Lin Bei didn't have much to do with the coalition forces, but why wasn't the coalition army like this?
Xun Yu and others have carefully studied the strength of the demon snake, and they all think that the demon snake is invincible in land and water battles, these days, the coalition army is arrayed outside Xiangyang City, although it is to put pressure on the demon snake, why not hope that Lin Bei will take the initiative to fight?
According to the plan of the coalition strategists, if the coalition forces invade Xiangyang City, it will actually do more harm than good, because once they enter Xiangyang City, it will become a street fight, and the strong snake will not play much role, with the strength of the demon snake, even if the generals come out, it is not easy to kill the demon snake, so it is best to force the demon snake out of Xiangyang and fight a decisive battle in the plain.
How do you know that the demon snake didn't accept this trick at all, but attacked Fancheng and Chuyang first, the loss of these two cities was a big blow to Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, especially Liu Biao, Xiangyang is gone, and now Weiyang is gone, Liu Biao hates the demon snake to the bone, but unfortunately, even if he hates it, Liu Biao also knows that he has no ability to recapture Chuyang from the demon snake.
"Now that the demon snake is avoiding and not fighting, do we really want to attack Xiangyang? What if the snake escapes? ”
This problem is what the coalition heroes are most worried about, the mind of the demon snake is unpredictable, and there is a Wolong wind chick under it to make a plan, once you leave Xiangyang and escape from the waterway, who can stop it? Not to mention the army of millions, even if it is doubled, it can't stop the demon snake.
The talent in the coalition army was at its peak, but on the second day, there was a poisonous plan.
"What? Once the city of Xiangyang is broken, the coalition forces will slaughter the city? Lin Bei asked in horror.
Kong Ming's face was solemn, and his voice should have been.
"This is to force me to stay in Xiangyang City." After Lin Bei's mind turned, he thought of the viciousness of this method of the coalition forces.
Looking at what Lin Bei has done in Xiangyang City these days, it is not difficult for the coalition forces to find that although Lin Bei is a demon snake, he is actually extremely protective of the common people. This plan suddenly put Lin Bei in a dilemma.
Attacking Fancheng and Chuyang is actually the strategy of Kong Ming and others, and now the coalition army is besieging Xiangyang, the Heshen army is weak, and can only temporarily avoid its front, Kong Ming and Pang Tong and others have planned to abandon Xiangyang City as a last resort. Only some people left.
But now that the slaughter of the city has been made, Lin Bei can only stay in Xiangyang City and fight to the death with the coalition army, the coalition army is gambling, betting on Lin Bei's heart, and they are really right.
The war in this era is indeed all-encompassing, Lin Bei remembered that Cao Mengde had done the massacre of the city before, as long as Lin Bei escaped, the coalition army would be charged with a crime casually. For example, the common people of Xiangyang City were bewitched by the demon snake and became demon people, so the slaughter of the city not only did not hurt the peace of heaven, but it was a righteous act, and the coalition army did it.
As the rumors of the slaughter of the city spread throughout the coalition army and Xiangyang City, the coalition army marched towards Xiangyang City again, and it was less than ten miles away from Xiangyang City.
As soon as the coalition forces entered the ten-mile range of Xiangyang, the Confucian Academy lost contact with Xiangyang City. That night, in addition to being quite handsome. Yuan Shao and others secretly went to the Confucian Academy and recruited students from the Confucian Academy, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao. Liu Xuan, Liu Yan and others were all well-known figures in the Han Dynasty, and in the face of the solicitation of these people, it was difficult for the students to refuse, and Yuan Shao and others returned with a full load.
At the same time. Cai Yong and Cai Yan also lived in the Confucian Academy, Cai Yong announced that he would settle in the Confucian Academy, and would not participate in political affairs for the time being, and also politely rejected many students' courtship of Cai Yan.
With the addition of Cai Yong, the Confucian Academy is now three great Confucians, their status is transcendent, pivotal, as long as they are not mad, the Confucian Academy is absolutely as safe as Mount Tai.
Lin Bei did not rest, this night he was hovered at the head of Xiangyang City, and saw with his own eyes the traffic in front of the Confucian Academy, and the students of the Confucian Academy were recruited by the coalition army, indicating that Xiangyang City is now no secret to the coalition army, and these people know Xiangyang City well.
"Can't you really compete with the world's heroes with your own strength?" Standing at the head of the city wall, Lin Bei felt a little heavy.
That night, the main tent of the coalition camp was brightly lit, and the addition of new forces made the coalition army feel like a tiger with wings.
Early the next morning, the coalition army began to carry out an oppressive attack on Xiangyang City, the so-called oppressive attack does not mean that people are fighting in front of the battle, because it is looking for death, the coalition army is just laying cement bricks forward, and the cement bricks are moving forward layer by layer, showing a slowly increasing posture.
"Are these people going to start from ten miles away and keep stacking the cement bricks to a height of more than ten zhang?" Lin Bei could only feel speechless.
This method is undoubtedly quite stupid, but although it is very stupid, it is undoubtedly extremely effective, at least when it is a stone's throw away from Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City has no way, and there is a strong force to suppress Lin Bei, and Lin Bei can't think of any way, that is, in a word, Xiangyang's army is too small, the coalition army can afford it, but the river god army can't afford it.
Seeing that the coalition forces were getting closer and closer to Xiangyang, the cement bricks were spread higher and higher, and a wide avenue of five hundred zhang was opened, and Lin Bei was helpless to gather Kong Ming and others again to discuss the matter.
"Now the coalition army is obviously going to pave the cement road to the general height of the Xiangyang city wall, once it is paved, and then use the strong sword to strike at the city of Xiangyang, Xiangyang City will be broken, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, what can you think?"
Now the tactical level of Xiangyang City can be said to have been ahead for hundreds of years, even in later generations, there is no such tactical water section, after all, in the siege war, it is either a siege or an internal response, like the swaggering paving cement road of the coalition army is absolutely unprecedented, Lin Bei tasted the bitter fruit, because the cement was made by him.
Once the cement road outside the city is flush with the city wall, the coalition army can place the strong and archers on it, with the number of coalition troops, the river god army is absolutely unable to defeat, only let it be slaughtered one way, this strategy fully plays the advantage of the coalition army.
"My lord, now that the coalition is strong, calm and calm, and does not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources, the rest is really powerless."
Although Kong Ming and Pang Tong are both brilliant people, they can't help it, because the capital of Xiangyang City is really insufficient.
In fact, if the River God Army also has 500,000, then the coalition army's method is useless at all, because it is easier to destroy than to build, as long as the coalition army dares to pave the road, the River God Army can destroy those road sections, but the River God Army is now less than 30,000 in total, and Lin Bei does not dare to fight, so he can only shrink in the city, watching the coalition army use this kind of strategy.
In fact, Lin Bei had been thinking about it for a few days, and he hadn't come up with a way, so seeing that the two of them had no choice, Lin Bei could only sigh: "Do you have to fight hard with the coalition forces?" It's better to evacuate the people of Xiangyang City on both sides of the southwest to the northeast, and when the coalition army enters Xiangyang, I will lead the Heshen army to fight with the coalition army in the streets, as long as the strong army can't play a big role, I will not be afraid. ”
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the coalition forces won't dare to fight in the streets with adults at all." Kong Ming also sighed: "The coalition army has done this, and they are already well versed in the strength of the lord, Xun Yu and Tian Feng are all resourceful, and they will not attack the enemy with such a short time." ”
"If I am a strategist of the coalition army, since the cement road is also paved, then as long as I enter the city of Xiangyang, I will fill all the streets in the city to form a flat ground, and even if the adults want to fight with them, they can only fight in the flat ground, not the street battle that the adults think." Pang Tongyan said.
Lin Bei was speechless for a moment, filling up Xiangyang City? How big of a project is this? However, thinking about what the coalition forces are doing now, Lin Bei does not doubt that the coalition forces do have this determination, they are bullying the small army in Xiangyang City.
There was no way to come up with any effective solution.
In the following days, the coalition army has paved the cement road closer and closer, and it has been paved higher and higher, and now it has reached two zhang, Lin Bei went out of the city once, and before the coalition army array, countless strong soldiers shot over, and there were more dead soldiers standing in front of the camp tent, all with knives and guns, and the blades and tips of the guns were smeared with highly poisonous things, and Lin Bei had no choice but to return to the city.
On the second day, Lin Bei went out of the city again, went up the river from the Fan River, and prepared to go around to the rear camp of the coalition army, who knew that the rear camp of the coalition army also had nearly 100 strong horses, and there were also countless dead soldiers, Lin Bei saw that there were not many strong horses, so he rushed forward and was shot by two strong horses, his body was numb, and he quickly retreated.
Lin Bei's body's resistance to poison is quite high, but no matter how high it is, there is a limit, and Lin Bei feels that he really can't resist a few times.
For several days in a row, Lin Bei was wandering around the coalition army, preparing to harass the coalition army, and each time he was forced back by the strong army, and in the following days, the coalition army was even more obedient, unless Lin Bei entered more than 100 meters before the battle, the strong horse would never be launched.
The range of these strong guns is as high as 1,000 steps, which is equivalent to about 500 meters, and it is the most lethal range within 200 to 800 steps.
After harassing for more than ten days, the time entered May, and the coalition forces had besieged Xiangyang for a month and a half.
Lin Bei is fine, but there is something in Xiangyang City.
The common people of Xiangyang were trapped in the city of Xiangyang, and every day they saw the murderous tents of the coalition army, and from time to time they heard the horns and shouts of the coalition army.
This kind of uneasiness and fear is also something that every defender of the city must face, and the more tense the atmosphere, the more likely it is that there will be chaos in the city, because there will be more and more disturbances in the city.
The people of Xiangyang City regard Lin Bei as a river god and worship Lin Bei, but now that the foreign enemy is outside the city, Lin Bei, the river god, has not been able to break the deadlock for a long time, and the worship of Lin Bei by the common people will be lower and lower, and a series of questions will arise, such as: Is the adult really a river god? Why can't even some mortals beat them? Aren't you a river god? Is it really as the outside world says, adults are just monsters? And so on and so forth.
This suspicion will slowly ferment over time, and before the coalition forces have entered the city of Xiangyang, there is a riot in the city. (To be continued......)
