Chapter 456: The World is Xiongguan
Shangdang County, Huguan.
Yang Chou, the general of Huguan, stood at the head of the city in a black cloak, and there were three generals standing behind him, who were the three marshals of Zhenggu, Yu Poison, and Bai Huan who abandoned the city from Lang County.
"The Zhongshan Army is really mostly elite people, no wonder He Feng has been able to rise to prominence in the past year, and even the famous Cao Mengde can't take advantage of it."
Looking at the army like a black cloud under the city, Yang Chou's face did not have a panicked expression, although he praised the enemy army in his mouth, but his tone was full of confidence in himself.
Huguan is located between two mountains, and the mountains form a natural barrier like an axe, so there is no need to send troops to garrison the east and west, unless they give birth to wings, they cannot attack at all.
Yang Chou has full self-confidence, he only needs to hold the north, the terrain of Huguan is a slope, and it is extremely difficult for the enemy to attack on the back.
"General Yang must not be careless, the enemy's trebuchets and iron guns have really been harmed."
Bai Huan saw that Yang Chou saw the other party's military formation, and he didn't care about it, and couldn't help but remind him behind him.
Yang Chou smiled and patted the city wall with his hand.
"Bai Shuai, Huguan is not a city wall made of mud and blue bricks, the entire city is made of stones opened on the mountain, no matter how harmful the iron gun is, it can't be shot in, although the stone bullet has been damaged, but after falling, it will roll down the hillside, how can it break the Huguan?"
Listening to Yang Chou's explanation, the three marshals of the Montenegrin Army nodded in unison, and their expressions became relaxed.
……
Liu Wei in front of the gate looked at the pot carefully and shook his head slightly.
Xiongguan is Xiongguan, the ancient Xiongguan, not much is violently breached, most of them are captured from the inside, if you attack strongly, I am afraid that no matter how advanced your siege equipment is, you have to fill it with human lives.
"Gentlemen, how can you conquer the Huguan?"
Liu Wei raised his whip and pointed to the city between the two mountains in front of him and asked.
There was silence in front of the formation, and after observing the terrain, everyone's hearts were a little heavier.
"My lord."
Dian Wei rode out of his horse, arched his hand on the horse and said: "It's still the old way, hit, smash, and shoot." ”
Zhang Fei and Dian Wei were so good that they were wearing a pair of pants, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's the same as attacking Jinyang and Yuxian, long-range saturation attack." ”
The rest did not object, but none of them spoke in favor.
Liu Wei nodded, "In this case, let's try the strategy of the mountain monarch." ”
Set aside the catapult, the neat chariot condensed the murderous aura of this world.
"Put."
As the red flag was raised, the catapults began to test fire at the kettle.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The rain of stone bullets smashed the kettle with a violent sound, and a burst of dust flew over the city.
"Lord, this kind of battle is comfortable."
Dian Wei saw the magnificent scene in front of him, and couldn't help but praise loudly.
After the smoke dissipated, with the bright sunshine, everyone looked at the head of Huguan City and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
The thunder is loud, the rain is small, and it is the current scene.
The pass in front of him seemed to be a King Kong, with iron cloth shirts, and after a saturated attack, there were no holes like Jinyang and Yuxian.
"Headmaster." Zhou Yu spoke up, because he thought he was a member of the Jiangdong Army, and after thinking about it, he followed Sun Ce and called Liu Wei the principal.
"The pot is made of mountain stones, which is strong and difficult to break, and it is not comparable to mud bricks, and our remote equipment can't play much role."
Dian Wei and Zhang Fei looked at the scene in front of them and put their heads down.
The price to be paid for leaning up to attack the fortified city made Dian Wei, who loved the soldier Ruozi, also shut his mouth.
"Gentlemen, this level can't be attacked, we can only outwit, let's go back to the account."
Liu Wei turned his horse back, and faintly heard the sound of ridicule coming from the city wall.
Dian Wei was so angry that he wanted to step forward to challenge, but was stopped by Guo Jia with a fan.
"Mountain King, the advantage of the tongue, the behavior of women!"
……
The atmosphere in the tent is a little dull, can't take the pot pass, Sizhou and Bingzhou may be variable at any time, the logistics of their own troops are unstable, coupled with the Huns and the White Wave Army, just like there is an inflatable place in the backwater, the swimming fish that is already online can still maintain its vitality.
"Report ......"
Lin Yuwei's hurried voice made everyone's hearts sink, the house leak was rained overnight, and I don't know what big things happened.
"Lord Yu, the battle of the boundary bridge has ended, and Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan."
Hearing that Gongsun Zhan, the white-horse general of Zongheng Youyan, had lost the battle, many people showed shock on their faces, especially Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were surprised by such a result.
Liu Wei didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Gongsun Zhan was too weak, undefeated early and undefeated late, but now.
"Thousands of calculations, there are still a lot of accidents!"
Yuan Shao won this battle, and under the expansion of confidence, he will definitely attack Jizhou in a short time, and Yuan Shao will definitely not wait for this delicious dish of Han Fu.
This is the most critical battle since his rebirth, as long as he occupies Jizhou, it is like climbing Mount Tai, and he can see all the mountains at a glance!
We must rush back to Zhongshan County and personally preside over this crucial battle.
However, if you withdraw now, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
All kinds of calculations flashed in Liu Wei's mind very quickly, flickering like a movie screen.
The sturdiness of the Huguan is unexpected, and the hard attack will definitely not work, no matter how much blood there is, it will be absorbed by the high mountains.
If the method of siege is used, I am afraid that it will only take a year and a half to exhaust the grain and grass in the pass, and the grain and straw consumed by Liu Wei's army are only an astronomical amount.
Liu Wei has money now, and he can withstand this kind of consumption, the key is the question of whether it is worth it or not.
As the commander of the whole army, the great changes in Jizhou are imminent, how dare Liu Wei put the strength of the two elite battalions under Huguan City for a long time.
The pot is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, which is not only painful, but also may be infected and suppurated.
Everyone saw the rare heaviness on the lord's face, and even Dian Wei didn't dare to speak casually.
"My lord."
Pang Tong saw that Zhou Yu didn't want to come out, so he was the first to stand up.
"On the whole, we can use the woodpecker tactics."
As soon as they heard this new term, all the generals became interested, and Tai Shici asked first.
"Strategist, what is the woodpecker tactic?"
Liu Wei was secretly happy that Pang Shiyuan's prestige in the army was growing, and fierce generals like Tai Shici had already ignored his age.
"The woodpecker's tactics are like catching insects, constantly striking in other parts of the trunk of the tree, so that the insects in the tree panic, although it strikes the east, in fact, the killing move is in the west, once the west insects come out of the hole, it becomes a delicacy in its mouth."
"Good, Shiyuan is a disaster!"
Dian Wei felt that he had learned another trick of war, and couldn't help but praise it, and his body unconsciously lagged behind Pang Tong by half a shoulder.
"According to the system, it is difficult to capture Huguan in a hurry, so let's clean up the other territories in the state, leaving Huguan untouched."
