31. Build a city with soil, and the wind and clouds change abruptly

A huge ladder creaked up to the side of the city and landed on the top of the springboard.

But before the soldiers could rush forward, the crockpots filled with fire oil had smashed onto the gangplank, and then the flames were blazing.

No one can charge on such a springboard.

After a while, the flames burned more and more, gradually spreading to the entire ladder.

A little farther behind it, a smashed shaft overturned, and soldiers struggled to drag out their companions who were crushed below. Adventure 31

This well was knocked down by a stone projectile thrown by a catapult on the city wall - the same catapult is naturally higher on the city wall than under the city wall, and the farther it 'shoots', the more powerful the stone projectile is.

"It seems that this wave of attacks is very unfavorable......" Cheng Peng stared at the city gate - in fact, there was no need to look at it at all, the conversation in the player channel was enough to explain the problem.

"Damn it! These bastards actually blocked the city gates! Didn't they come out on their own? ”

"They've made up their minds to fight us for the long haul, right? Damn it! It's not such a waste of time! ”

"Yes! The longer we delay, the lower the merit we get! If you wait for Yuan Dashao to come, you haven't captured the original martial ......"

"Don't say such bad things! We're here to fight, not soy sauce! ”

"Damn! Even if it's the city wall, I'm going to smash it open for you to see! ”

After a lot of noise, they reluctantly retreated.

Although the chariot is protected by cowhide, after all, the durability value is limited, and once the durability is exhausted, they have to directly face the sandalwood rolling stones thrown from the castle tower.

So, this time the attack was again in vain.

"Even this time, it is already the fifteenth siege of the city......" Yue Yi frowned, staring at the city that was not big, but extremely strong, "With the same skill level of each other, the advantage of the defending side is really too great!" ”

It's a matter of course.

Sieges have always been a very difficult task unless they are supported by modern firearms.

From ancient times to the present, there are several books on the methods of attacking and defending cities, but there is no way to reverse the geographical advantage in any book.

Today is the 8th of September, and in the past three days, they have used a lot of siege methods before and after, which can really be called hollowing out their minds, but they have returned again and again in vain in the face of the high walls and fierce defenders of the former Wu County.

Digging tunnels, "shooting" rockets, ladders, wells, rushing cars, catapults, etc...... All kinds of tricks have been cracked, and the specific process does not need to be repeated one by one, in short, they have sacrificed a lot of manpower and material resources in the past three days, except for the loss of soldiers and generals, nothing has been gained.

Obviously, the other side also has masters in mechanics and tactics, and the level is only higher than theirs!

This can be seen from the accuracy of the catapults on both sides, and the accuracy of the other party's catapults is significantly higher than theirs.

Mingjin withdraws his troops. Adventure 31

Yue Yi and Xu Tu began to discuss how to attack the city.

"I think it's better to throw the dead pigs and sheep into it." Xu Tu said, "Doesn't the Mongols like to do that? It will definitely work. ”

"Don't talk about it! How many days do you think it will take from throwing pigs and sheep to the outbreak of the plague? Yue Yi retorted unceremoniously, "Do you believe that kind of legendary story?" Are you really someone who has been mixed up in society for so many years? ”

"But is there any other way you can do it?"

"Yes! We can make a lot of Kong Ming lanterns and set them on fire! ”

"Isn't this a copy of the Japanese balloon burning in the United States? At the beginning, Japan was completely in vain - you are so sure that those Kong Ming lanterns just fell in the sky over the former county town of Wu? ”

"Of course, we can measure the wind direction, wind speed, burning time, ......"

"Come on! You weren't born when I was working on technology! Not to mention that this is just the era of mechanical arts in the late Han Dynasty, even in modern times, it is impossible to have such a precise control ability! Do you think every Kong Ming lantern is equipped with a microcomputer? ”

"Then what can you do!"

"Throw the sick pigs and sheep."

"Whew! Can't you think of an idea not to be so bad? ”

"Isn't it better for you to set fire to the city than I am?"

"At least I won't make a plague! I bet you're going to get the plague even our own army!" ”

"Impossible! We directly blocked the four gates, killed everyone in the city, and then burned them to the ground, and all the plagues were solved. ”

“…… You have no human nature! ”

"Someone who 'sexual' has entered the Martyrs' Memorial!"

Seeing that the two military advisors were arguing more and more fiercely, there was a great possibility of rolling up their sleeves and starting to fight, Cheng Peng hurriedly went up to persuade him to fight.

"Actually...... I don't think it's impossible to remember......"

When he opened his mouth, Xu Tu and Yue Yi were stunned.

"You...... Do you have a way? ”

The two of them asked in unison.

Cheng Peng "touched" and "touched" his nose and nodded. Adventure 31

"What's the solution?"

The two of them asked in unison.

Cheng Peng pointed to the Yuanwu County and said: "The most troublesome thing in this Yuanwu County is not that the equipment is sufficient or the defenders are strong, in fact, the biggest problem is that its walls are very high and condescending, and our siege equipment is very bad, right?" ”

"That's right!"

"So...... Let's just make height! Cheng Peng said and gestured a few times with his left hand in Yuanwu County, "We can build a platform on both sides of the earth and build two high platforms - spend a little more time and build it higher than the original Wuxian County, I think it should not be difficult to ......."

Two military advisors, you look at me, I look at you, and it took half a ring before I came back to my senses.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"yes...... Why didn't I think of such a simple solution? In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Meng did this when he beat Maicheng......"

Cheng Peng smiled and didn't say much.

Building a platform outside the city, in order to gain a high degree of superiority, this method of warfare is actually not uncommon in history, but this tactic has nothing to do with the manufacture of organs, and the players' current understanding of "siege" is probably still stuck in the perspective of "siege equipment", and basically no one has considered the super realistic method of building a platform with earth, even if it is two military divisions.

But for Cheng Peng, it was just a certain method that had existed in history, and it was no different from siege equipment or something.

The plan was set, and of course the generals no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to build the city.

To build a higher earthen platform than the original Wu County, technically speaking, there is no difficulty - most of the players know how to build civil engineering, and many of them have even studied the relevant skills - the only difficulty lies in time.

Even if it's just an earthen platform, it takes a lot of time to build it higher than the majestic Yuanwu County, and to build two!

As Yuan Shaojun gave up the siege and began to build a high platform, Cao Cao's army felt uneasy.

Cheng Peng's plan is definitely simple and clear and can be seen through at a glance, as long as you have a little knowledge of the city's attack and defense, you can understand what is busy on the hot construction site - even if you don't understand it at first, you can figure it out by watching the two earthen platforms increase rapidly.

The Cao Cao's army in the original Wu County is not a fool, of course they know that when this earthen platform is built, it will be the moment when the original Wu County is captured, and at this time, they can't care about problems such as "the enemy is outnumbered", so they hurriedly opened the city and fought a battle, and attacked Yuan Shao's army in turn.

So under the leadership of Cheng Peng, Yuan Shaojun gave them a head-on blow with a neat military appearance and abundant troops, and even Le Jin in the "Five Good Generals" died under Cheng Peng's gun.

And so it was, and a few more days passed.

On the night of September 12, Cheng Peng, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by the electronic butler.

"Master, your friend Xu Tu is looking for you in a hurry." The ET butler yelled and handed him the phone.

"Quick! Fast! Go live! Xu Tu's voice was a little frightened, "Something happened!" ”

He was obviously in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to say a few more words before he hung up the communication.

Cheng Peng hurriedly got up and ran to the game cabin.

"What the hell could it be?" He secretly pondered, "The two earthen platforms are almost completed, the original Wu County is about to be broken, and several attacks by Cao's Cao's army have also been repulsed, Xiahoudun was seriously injured under my gun, and even the usual single knife 'killing unicorn teeth' has become my trophy, Li Dian and Le Jin worked hard to save this guy who did not become a one-eyed dragon, at the cost of leaving the broken Le Jin to be shot to death by me." Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian also came to the rescue, and they were also repelled by me, but after all, Xiahou Yuan was much more powerful than Xiahou Yuan, and he immediately retreated when he saw that the opportunity was not good, so he did not suffer major losses......"

"In this case, it can be said that the big thing has been decided, why is there an accident?"

It didn't take him much time to complete the landing and launch, and the place where the launch was the big tent of the Chinese army.

When he opened his eyes, Cheng Peng was stunned.

The generals were all embarrassed, their clothes and armor were scattered, and several of them were even in a state of weakness, apparently having just been killed.

"What's going on?" He asked coldly.

"Guan Yu! Zhang Fei! Yue Yi, who was in a weak state, said with a wry smile, "Guan Yu suddenly appeared, led troops to raid Yanjin, and beheaded Yan Liang. We immediately sent troops back to help, but Zhang Fei rushed out again to attack at night - Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan also came to attack with their own troops and horses, and several places were encircled, and the big camp was about to be unable to be saved! ”

"Guan Yu?! Isn't he fighting Sun Jian? ”

"The specific situation is still unclear, but the Qinglong Glaive Knife will definitely not be wrong!" Yue Yi was about to say something, but his face changed again, and it became even more ugly, "The latest news, Guan Yu has defeated our reinforcements, and he is also rushing to the big camp!" ”

Cheng Peng frowned, and walked out of the tent without saying a word.

"Panic what!" He spent general points to open the system channel, and shouted as the main general, "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!" Whether it's Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, or Xiahou Yuan or Xiahoudun, aren't we worried that they won't dare to come to war? ”

"Since they are sent to death together today, then let's ask for a big one and catch them all!"

"Pass my order, the whole army will attack, and follow me to cut off the long beard with the red face first!"
