Jiangzhou Zhongbian. The war continues to be stalemate! In the middle, the sweet cow was originally far away from the grain ship and made by His Majesty! Later, he led the Jinfan battalion out to intrude on Liu Bei's grain route, but when he went out, Liu Bei no longer transported grain by water, but changed to land. Gan Ning had no way to do this, and that time he went out and fought with the Jingzhou Navy again, Gan Ning lost two grain ships, but took six books, while the Jingzhou Navy lost one ship, and more than ten were sunk and taken.

The naval army attacked to no avail, and Zhang Xiu sent Tai Shici out of the city and set up camp outside the east of the city, so as not to let the siege equipment of Liu Bei's army approach the city of Jiangzhou to attack. However, after that, Liu Beijun kept sending people from the waterway to the south of the camp to harass him at night. And as soon as the Gan Ning Navy came out, these military vehicles would escape, and Gan Ning would have no way to take them. As for Zhang Xiu, he wants to use his way to govern his body. Because the place where Liu Beijun camped was far away from the river. Nor can the trolls harass them.

Harassment at night, and naturally come to depict the battle in the morning, but after a night of harassment, Taishi Ci's army is without the heart of war, and Zhang Xiu in the city must send reinforcements to the city to engage in the battle in order to force Liu Bei's army back. This was the case for several days, and Zhang Xiu did not have a good solution, for fear that it would shake the morale of the army in the long run, so Zhang Xiu decided to withdraw the army under the city to the city.

In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Xiuzheng had a sad face, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked everyone: "Everyone, now that the enemy army has decided to attack Jiangzhou with siege equipment, and now Ziyi has been forced back in the village outside the city, how should this be?" ”

Gan Ning, Tai Shici and the others shook their heads helplessly when they heard this.

Pang Tong was still bowing his head and pondering, but Fa Zheng next to him raised his head and said, "Lord Tower, in fact, there may not be no way to deal with the enemy army. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What is the plan of filial piety?" ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Earlier, my army came from afar, but it was a tired army, and it was not beneficial to go out of the city to meet Liu Bei, but now after a few days of rest, the combat strength of the army has begun to recover. In fact, our army can go out of the city and confront the enemy. ”

Tai Shi Ci heard it and said: "But after Ci led the troops out of the city, he couldn't break the enemy's strategy of exhausting the troops" Fa Zheng smiled and said: "The strategy of exhausting the troops is actually just a strategy of delay, before our army's combat strength has not recovered, and we strongly advocate delaying and avoiding the war, so the enemy can only succeed with the strategy of exhausting the troops." But now that our army's combat strength has recovered a lot, and our army's strength is actually not inferior to the enemy's army, I think we can compete with the enemy's army! ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, frowned again, and said in a condensed voice: "Consumption? Filial piety means not counting losses. Defeat the enemy? ”

Fa Zheng nodded and said, "Yes! If the enemy army is allowed to attack the city on a large scale with siege equipment, the losses of our army will not be less than that of the enemy army, so why not consume with the enemy. Behind the lord is the land of the four states of Liangyi, and Liu Bei only has one Jingzhou, and our army can definitely afford to consume energy compared with Liu Bei. ”

Zhang Xiu heard this, and was still bowing his head and groaning, but Gan Ning said over there: "Filial piety is reasonable, but the place where Liu Bei's army is now stationed is quite difficult to attack, and our army has no equipment, so the loss of attacking in vain is greater." ”

At this time, Pang Tong took over the conversation and said: "What Xiaozhi said is reasonable, as for what Xingba said, we can lead Liu Bei to the open place in front of Jiangzhou City." When the time comes, you can attack Liu Bei's camp head-on, and you can do what you say about filial piety. ”

When Tai Shici heard this, he let out a light "oh", and hurriedly asked Pang Tongdao: "What is Shiyuan's strategy to reintroduce Liu Bei to Jiangzhou?" ”

Pang Tong did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Zhang Xiu, and Fa Zheng also looked at Zhang Xiu on the other side. You must know that Zhang Xiu has always used soldiers to win victories at the least cost and minimize the loss of taxis, and now he suddenly wants to change this lose-lose style of play, and I don't know if Zhang Xiu will accept it.

But it is true that this style of play is the most practical tactic for the strong against the weak, especially now that Zhang Xiu is on the defensive, with Jiangzhou City as a backing. In the face of Liu Beijun's preparation to attack the city with siege equipment, and there is no defense equipment in the city to deal with, this style of play is undoubtedly the most correct, but the loss will definitely not be less.

The hall became silent for a while, Zhang Xiu raised his head and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he nodded and said: "What Xiaozhi said is reasonable, Shiyuan doesn't know what to do to lure Liu Bei to Jiangzhou City." ”

Everyone listened, and at the same time exhaled lightly, knowing that Zhang Xiu agreed. Pang Tong smiled slightly and said: "Now Liu Beijun's camp is twenty miles away, if you attack the city with siege equipment. It took more than an hour or two to transport the siege equipment to Jiangzhou City, and it had to be transported back after the war. It's not very feasible. If the unification is not bad, Liu Bei will suppress our army and then move the camp back to Jiangzhou City. ”

Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Shi Yuan means that our army will first resist the attack of Liu Bei's army for a few days, and then conduct a war of attrition after its battalion moves back?" ”

Pang Tong nodded and said, "Yes! There is also a lot of fire oil stored in Jiangzhou City, and it is naturally not possible to block it for a long time, but it is possible to resist Liu Bei's attack for a short time. Moreover, as long as the lord blocks the east gate with sand and stones, Liu Bei naturally knows that our army is ready to defend to the death, and after he moves the camp back, our army can engage in a war of attrition with it. ”

Zhang Xiu listened, nodded, and said: "In this way, act according to what Xiaozhi and Shiyuan say!" ”

When everyone heard this, they responded in unison: "No."

"Knock Knock"

"Woooooooo

Stepping into autumn, the air in the early morning is cool, the cold breeze blows the bright red Liuzi banner hunting, and the agitated war drums and desolate horns have sounded. Liu Beijun's troop vehicles of the brigade assembled and lined up outside Jiangzhou City.

"Crunch Crunch"

A tooth-wrenching sound came out, and ten large wells that were more than four zhang high were pushed out by Liu Beijun's soldiers, and the height of this well was much higher than the city wall of Zhijiangzhou. Zhang Xiujun in Jiangzhou City looked at the ten behemoths, and his eyes unconsciously showed a panicked look.

"Crunch" crunch

The tooth-aching sound didn't stop. After the well was erected, two more huge rushing carts were pushed out by Liu Beijun's soldiers. Behind it is a series of ladders, densely arranged, and the defenders on Jiangzhou City can see that their scalps are numb.

"What a stay! Don't be afraid, listen to Lao Tzu's command, do whatever Lao Tzu says, don't look at their arrogance now, and when Lao Tzu will take you to beat them to the point of crying dad and mother! Just when the soldiers were a little flustered, Gan Ning, who was guarding the city, shouted out these words at the right time.

"Hahaha" The defenders of the city heard it and burst into laughter. Gan Ning's words can be said to be the most vulgar among all the generals, but the soldiers like to listen to them the most, and such foul words are their appetite. A burst of laughter drove away all the panic of the military vehicles in the city.

Zhang Xiu next to him saw it, but he was secretly praising it, Gan Ning seems to be a rough person, but in fact, he is as careful as dust, bold and resolute, and the second child is calm and calm, and he is definitely a top general talent six "Shi"

At this time, in the rear formation under the city, Liu Bei held a male and female double-strand sword, and ordered loudly: "Jing Yan team, rush to the convoy, advance!" Cloud echelon, keep up! ”

With Liu Bei's order, the two siege equipment of Jing Qi and Chong Che were pushed forward first, and the soldiers carrying the ladder behind slowly followed. The pace of Liu Bei's army was not fast, but it gave people a heavy feeling, especially the ten wells, as if a mountain was pressing towards Jiangzhou City.

"Woohoo

"Woohoo,"

"Kill"

"Boom...... Anlong

Seeing Liu Bei's army gradually approaching, Liu Bei's soldiers on the well had already begun to stop the sharp arrows in their hands and poured down towards the city. At the gate of the city, two rushing cars stood side by side, constantly hitting the heavy gate of Jiangzhou City, bursting into a series of "boom boom" sounds.

The rest of Liu Beijun's military vehicles carrying the ladder had also rushed to the city wall, putting the ladder in their hands on the city wall, and then a large number of Liu Bei's soldiers rushed to the city along the ladder like ants.

Zhang Xiu, who was holding a tiger-headed golden gun, stood on the city and shouted: "Sword and shield hand, raise the shield immediately!" The archers are behind the sword and shield hands, ready to shoot on their backs and release their arrows! ”

With a series of orders from Zhang Xiu. The defenders on Jiangzhou City reacted immediately, and the sword and shield hand was at the front of the female wall, raising the leather shield high to resist the rain of arrows from Liu Beijun's well, and the robe behind you were all protected. The archers in the back hid behind the sword and shield hands, pointed their big bows obliquely to the sky, and listened to Zhang Xiu's command to shoot the sharp arrows in his hands. The sharp arrow flew diagonally into the sky, and then the iron arrow on the heavier side sank and fell down. There are many soldiers and soldiers of Liu Bei under the city, and there is no need to aim at all, and more than eighty percent of these sharp arrows that fall down can hit the enemy.

The siege of the well has two main functions. The first is to use a height higher than the city wall to kill a large number of enemy troops on the city, and the second is to suppress the archers on the city, so that they cannot form a lethal force against the besieging troops below the city. But now the role of Jing Qian has been greatly weakened under the command of Zhang Xiu's hand.

At the front, there are sword and shield men, who block the large number of bows and arrows fired from the well, while the archers in the back shoot from the back, shoot sharp arrows out of the city, and then let sharp arrows fall from the sky, killing and wounding the enemy.

However, this is only to strengthen the defense, and it still can't have much impact on the enemy's attack, so Zhang Xiu continued to order loudly: "The crossbow hand is rocketed, and the sword and shield hand avoids" The target place is well and placed, put! ”

"Whoosh..."

One by one, the crossbowmen held big yellow crossbows, loaded with lit crossbow arrows, and when the rain of arrows on the well stopped, the sword and shield hands immediately avoided it, and one by one the burning sharp arrows shot towards Liu Beijun's well. Although the well is far away from the city wall, but it has not yet come out of the range of crossbow arrows, one by one soaked in fire oil and ignited crossbow arrows flew out, shot on the well, and the wooden wells were ignited in many places, so that the soldiers up and down the well were immediately busy fighting the fire. He didn't care about continuing to shoot the defenders of the city with arrows.

This round of crossbow arrows set fire to many places in Liu Beijun's four wells, forcing the soldiers up and down the four wells to be busy extinguishing the ignited fires, and not caring about shooting at the city. Zhang Xiu's heart was relieved, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that Yan Yan had dozens of big yellow crossbows in Jiangzhou City, although the number was not much, but it could still play a miraculous effect when used in key places. With just one attack, Liu Beijun's four wells were temporarily unable to fight.

However, this is not enough, on the other side, the six wells cooperate with the siege of the chariots and the soldiers under the city to attack the city fiercely, and the defenders of the city can only defend passively. There is no doubt that the strength of an archer's counterattack with a bow and arrow is limited.

Gan Ning saw that the situation was a little bad and immediately rushed over. Seeing that Liu Beijun rushed to the city, the pikemen in the defenders had already rushed to the female wall to engage in battle.

Seeing this, Gan Ning hurriedly shouted: "Sword and shield hand resist!" The pikemen prepare for "Piercing!" Don't worry about the car below, don't worry about the car below! The gate had been blocked, and they couldn't get in. Just kill the enemy! ”

At this time, the crossbowman had already reloaded the sharp arrows, and Zhang Xiu saw it, pointed to the other six tall wells with his hand, and shouted: "Ignite!" Target the enemy's well, "Shoot the arrow!" ”

"Woohoo

Although the big yellow crossbow is not as good as the rest of the crossbows that Zhang Xiu's men have transformed, it is also one of the few sharp weapons in the world, and the hit rate is extremely high. Dozens of large yellow crossbows fired rockets together, and more than half of the rockets were successfully split over the other six shafts. The arrows soaked in fire oil ignited many places in the wooden wells at once, forcing the soldiers above and below the other six wells to rush to extinguish the flames.

The ten wells were temporarily out of combat power, and Gan Ning could see it. Knowing that it was a good opportunity to fight back, he immediately shouted: "Rolling logs! Fast! Roll Wood Ready! The sword and shield hand stepped back and threw the log! Fast! ”

"Boom, boom

Huge pieces of rolling logs were thrown down the city by the defenders, smashing Liu Beijun, who pounced on him like ants, to the point that his head was bleeding, and some were directly knocked off the city wall by the huge rolling logs, falling on the hard soil and breaking his head.

Liu Beijun's attack was stopped for a while. Gan Ning saw that Jing Yan had not yet recovered his combat effectiveness, and knew that the opportunity was rare, so he shouted: "Long hook hand step forward!" Quick, hook the ladder down! ”

"Click

"Boom, the ladders that hit the head of the city were hooked down by the long hook hand, and the entire ladder fell down from the city with Liu Bei's sergeant who was hanging on the ladder, and ended up in pieces.

"Woohoo,"

"Woohoo,"

The four wells that had been the first to extinguish the flames began to threaten again, and the sudden rain of arrows on the top of the city caused many casualties to the defenders of the city due to the retreat of the sword and shield hands. When Zhang Xiu saw it, he immediately shouted: "Sword and shield hand!" Fast! Top! ”

The sword and shield hand listened to the order, and immediately held the shield to the top, and Liu Beijun under the city reorganized another attack, and Liu Bei's soldiers were densely packed, like ants along the ladder and pounced on the city.

Zhang Xiu saw it and said secretly: "It's too much!" He didn't care much, and shouted: "Quick! Pour out the oil into the city! Ignition, torch throwing, rockets! ”

"Whew

"Bang bang bang

"Whew...... rumble

An urn of fire oil was thrown down by Zhang Xiujun in the city, and then the torches and rockets were shot down, and the fire oil sprinkled all over the ground was ignited at once, and a fireball exploded to ignite the remains of the nearby ladders, rolling logs, corpses and rushing cars, making a huge wall of fire on the city, isolating Liu Beijun's attack.
