Sun Ce couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Tai Shi Ci's evaluation, he thought that Lu Bu was about the same as Tai Shi Ci at most, or that he had taken advantage of the golden jade battle armor by virtue of his old age and outstanding military achievements......

It's just that he doesn't know that what Tai Shici said about "dealing with you and me" is not "you or me", but "you and me"!

Although the Tiger Prison was closed, Guan Zhang and the two joined forces, and they were already able to force Lu Bu into the disadvantage, but ...... That's just Lu Bu when the tiger prison was closed!

"General Taishi is really brave, two years ago, when Sun Ce first fought in Lujiang, he was only sixteen years old, but his courage was unstoppable, every time he took the lead, plus Zhou Yu was full of tricks, the old man almost couldn't even defend Shucheng...... Today, General Taishi folded his sharp spirit first, which is really a blessing for Shucheng. Lu Kang complimented Tai Shici, who had just come up.

"Lu is too conservative, Shucheng has you always been there, so that the army and the people can be united, and the victory or defeat of my fighting will not affect anything." Tai Shi Ci responded very modestly.

At this time, Sun Ce pointed to the city tower and said: "Tai Shici, I think you are also a hero, and I also appreciate that you dare to cross the river in vain, let you have twelve hours!" ”

After saying that, he led the troops back and set up camp, only a stone's throw and a half away from the city gate - only 8,000 people, and they dared to camp close to their faces.

At this time, the bow and arrow used by ordinary soldiers can shoot at a maximum distance of 100 paces, that is, about 170 meters, which is already considered a strong bow of elite soldiers, and this is the range of projectiles, after all, ordinary soldiers do not need to shoot accurately, as long as they are roughly shot into the range of the enemy formation.

Instead of an accurate flat shot, this distance should be reduced by half.

The cavalry's cavalry archery bow has a shorter range, because the cavalry fights on horses, and the longbow is inconvenient to use.

As for the general's bow and arrow, because the general's physique in this world itself is somewhat abnormal, plus there is also the increase in the armor, Bai Tu is not sure, he only knows...... Certainly far beyond a normal bow.

The defending side, with the advantage of the city tower, could shoot farther, and Sun Ce was now camped one hundred and fifty paces away, less than a mile away.

It's a pity that Bai Tu hasn't had time to create those strong bows that surpass the contemporary range, otherwise if Bai Tu is given hundreds of divine arm crossbows, he will be taught tonight, what is a night attack without going out of the city......

But now this is just thinking about it, after all, the bow and crossbow process not only requires a lot of investment, but also the ancient method is incomplete, such as the composition of only some parts of the crossbow, there are still many difficulties in the actual research and development, and Bai Tu has no spare strength to climb this technology for the time being.

There are only more than 5,000 defenders in the city, but with Lu Kang's popularity, he can transform a large number of "servants" into "people's braves" to supplement his combat strength, so he has persisted to this day.

Normal "service workers" are not allowed to go to the battlefield, and it is good to behave, but it is not only a matter of combat quality, as long as the service workers are attacked, they will immediately bomb the camp, and mixing the service workers with the army is definitely an act that will reduce combat effectiveness.

However, there are exceptions - for example, on the defending side that the people want, the servant can temporarily transform into "Minyong", although it is much weaker than the normal soldier, especially because there is no training, and can only do some simple assistance, but at least in terms of morale, it will not collapse like ordinary servants.

The "people's bravery" is the most amazing battle in history, but it has nothing to do with the people's aspirations, but four hundred years ago, Zhang Han, the general at the end of Qin, took 700,000 Lishan slave laborers as the "people's bravery", broke the Chen Wu righteous army, and defeated the Shandong countries.

However, this kind of solitary case is not enough evidence, and normally "Minyong" is a special "type of army" that can only be used in defensive warfare and is the defense side to which the people are attached.

Although Sun Ce's Jiangdong veterans were elite, they only had 8,000 people, and it was impossible to break the city.

Moreover, Sun Ce's "let twelve hours" is really "let", Bai Tu found that the other party was really just camping that day, and even cutting trees to make ladders only started the next day!

At night, Tai Shi Ci wanted to go out of the city and attack at night, after all, ...... This guy's camping distance is too close to his face, which is unpleasant.

However, it was stopped by Lu Su, and the night attack or something was the most effective for the unstable army, once the camp was bombed at night, thousands of troops and horses could only trample on each other.

The so-called "uncertain morale" is either the proud soldiers who have won consecutive victories, or the mourning soldiers who have lost repeatedly, or the frightened soldiers who have been cut off from the back road of the grain route, and the new soldiers who lack actual combat......

Now Sun Ce's army outside the city is obviously not a good target for night attacks, but it is easy to damage the few defenders in the city - "Minyong" can only assist in defense, cannot be used for attack, and if the proportion of regular troops is too small when defending the city, the morale of "Minyong" will also drop sharply.

After Tai Shici gave up the idea of a night attack, the next day Sun Cejun began to cut down wood and collect materials, set up cloud ladders, and built a rushing cart.

Even deliberately in the military camp not far from the city, little by little to create a cloud ladder of more than ten zhang, I can see Tai Shici scratching his heart and liver on the city tower.

However, Lu Kang specially reminded: "More than a year ago, it was the same when Sun Ce attacked Anhui County. Just under the city to build a ladder, but when the Anhui city order out of the city wanted to be destroyed, it was killed by Sun Ce and defeated, although the Anhui city order fled back in embarrassment, but there was no half moon Wancheng was lost. ”

When attacking the city, it is already a common "skill" of Sun Ce.

From the speed of the construction of the ladder, it can also be seen that Sun Ce's army is very sophisticated and capable, after all, at this time, in the army, there will be no special engineering troops, when building siege equipment, or digging trenches in forts, at most there are special officers to command, and then from ordinary soldiers to divide several squads to do.

Although the ladders and chariots are only the simplest siege equipment, it shows that the opponent's proficiency is very high......

"Lord, Lu Taishou, I feel that at this time, I can change more people to go to the wall, and the defenders will rest first." Lu Su suggested.

"Zijing is afraid that they will attack at night?" Bai Tu asked.

"The night attack is not necessarily, but now we don't dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy, anyway, we are watching them build a ladder, it is better to change to the people to watch." Lu Su said.

Bai Tu accepted Lu Su's suggestion, and Lu Kang also ordered the arrangement when he saw this......

There was no night attack, but on the third day, when the early morning was faintly bright, Sun Ce had already begun to lead people to attack the city!

Lu Kang had already ordered people to be on guard day and night, but he was not caught off guard, and just a quarter of an hour later, Lu Kang and Bai Tu had already appeared on the city tower to supervise the battle.

Bai Tu is nothing, but he has worked hard for Lu Kang at such a great age.

"This Sun Ce seems to have only the courage of a horseman, but in fact, the tactics are also very delicate, yesterday he first built a ladder in front of us and rushed the car to exert pressure, and today he took advantage of the early morning to attack...... After all, Minyong was not a regular army, and he played poorly in the early hours of the morning. Lu Su praised on the side.

In the course of training, the regular army must have training to meet the enemy temporarily, or even to rush at night with temporary notice, although the energy will be worse in the early morning, as long as it is not caused by a sneak attack and cause panic, it will not have much effect.

However, if Min Yong's words, Shili went directly to three or four points......

Previously, Bai Tu accepted Lu Su's suggestion to use more people during the day, but now the defenders are very rested.

After more than a year, Sun Ce once again led his troops to attack Shucheng!
