Chapter 103: Massive Build-up of Siege Equipment

"Alright, it's time to get down to business. Xu Hong's eyes lit up.

In the real time, in the Three Kingdoms now, it is the weekend, but Xu Hong is not idle, in addition to the routine training of his subordinates on the one hand, on the other hand, he began to think about planning the next city.

"If you want to gain a firm foothold in this world, there is no other way, only forward and backward, if you don't develop, there will be no soldiers and horses, if you don't attack a new city, the strength will stagnate, others have been developing, only you are like this, then you will fall behind, after a long time, others will come to attack you, then everything you have, all of them will not exist, cherish every opportunity for development, grasp these opportunities, accumulate over time, it will only be yourself who will benefit, not others, and often educate your subordinates, but also act like this, take the lead yourself, and over time you will develop new habits。 ”

He knew that it would take twenty-eight days to develop a good habit, so he insisted on twenty-nine days, building the materials of siege machinery, needed 10,000 bags, he tried to prepare 20,000 bags, the previous city defense maintenance was negligent in management, he let each general manage the city bricks, all engraved with their own names, so that once there is a mistake in any piece, he has a way to manage it, immediately repaired, he does not believe that the efforts he has made will be useless, he does not believe that the things he has worked hard will not bring rewards to himself, he does not believe that the diligent people will lose to the lazy people。

"Especially in terms of defending the city, the more defense you do, the greater the chance of defending, don't be deceived by romance and TV series, the defense of the city during the Three Kingdoms, as long as the generals do not rebel and do not have military rations, even if it is the same force, it will not be able to open the city, plus the defense of the city is well-equipped, it is especially prominent, and the troops besieging the city are even more helpless. ”

Xu Hong understands that this is why it is necessary to build siege equipment, if you don't build it, there is no chance of winning at all, let alone open the city gate, a little longer, the soldiers will be exhausted, and their own troops will be chaotic, and if the defenders in the city are killed again, the soldiers will wait to be captured alive, and at that time, there will be no hope at all.

"The skilled craftsmen who have been recruited began to build the ladders, rushing cars, and throwing stones needed for the siege last night, but fortunately, the quarrying and logging places are not far from here, and if the people are requisitioned, the speed will be faster, but I am worried that the news will spread. ”

He was very aware of the role of intelligence, so he was worried about the confidentiality of the news, so he dismissed the idea, and if it was known by people with ulterior motives, it would inevitably set off another uproar, not to mention that this matter was a military situation, so he was extremely cautious, and only sent the strong men in the soldiers to the corresponding place to collect materials, and then ordered the soldiers to be silent, lurking in the transportation, wearing only the people's uniforms, not affecting the attention of others, so smoothly transported back to the outside of the city, and in the barracks in the city, and then began to rush day and night, although I don't know who the city was temporarily used on, but sooner or later in the future, it is better to start preparing now.

"Okay, look at the map, which forces are not cleaned up, teach them a good lesson, let them know what justice is. Xu Hong said with a wicked smile.

So he was on the map, and began to carefully plan and choose, to see how to do it, which force to choose the most appropriate, and then he found the most suitable object.

"Ridiculous Yuan Shu, actually established the Zhongguo in the past, recently the generals under his power, loyalty has all declined, the morale of the people in the jurisdiction has plummeted, although he himself has the jade seal of the country in hand, but still does not know how to advance and retreat, and finally died hastily, now his son Yuan Ji is on the throne, I don't know why, the three kingdoms of this world, no one attacked it in the early stage, it is a little strange... ”

When Xu Hong was feeling strange, news suddenly came from his subordinates.

"Report, Liu Bei obtained 30,000 elite soldiers from Yuan Shao and was ordered to attack Zhongguo. ”

"Hahaha, I was thinking about it just now, but I didn't expect someone to attack it in an instant, is it ten thousand enemies? Hmph, who has the real ability, and whose opponent will the city of Huainan Zhongguo fall into, it is not yet known. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Hong made up his mind, if he wants to take this Zhongguo now, he will definitely greatly enhance his own power, after all, who doesn't want his territory to be broader? Besides, Huainan City is a place with a very large grain output, coupled with a rich population, although Yuan Shu is so bad at management, there is still a quite prosperous scene, or is the place good, hmph Liu Bei wants to compete with me? Then you might as well take advantage of him.

Then he understood that Liu Bei was attacking in the open, and he had to lead the army in the dark, waiting for Liu Bei to attack almost over, the city defense was almost consumed, and when the men and horses on both sides were exhausted, he decided to make a move.

"Hey, hey, there's something good to see then. Xu Hong smiled evilly.

So he immediately led the soldiers and began to prepare, most of the soldiers he brought were crossbowmen, with enough bows and arrows, and then sent the people of the snake eye organization first, one step forward and the first to go, and soon rushed to the vicinity of Huainan City to ambush, the soldiers were lurking and hiding, and then in the distance was Liu Bei and the three, leading the troops to attack the city, the soldiers defending the city fought back, the battle was extremely fierce, lasted for a few days and nights, Xu Hong did not rush to the scene this time, because he had other more important things to do, so then the battle was almost over。

"Immediately attack and take the city, and drive away Liu Beijun as a supplement. ”

Soon Xu Hong's people, according to the plan arranged in advance by the people of the snake eye organization, entered the city first, and controlled the city, and then erected Xu Hong's banner, Liu Beijun was shocked after seeing it, and then Xu Hongjun killed Liu Bei, Liu Beijun reluctantly ordered to retreat, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were not convinced, and wanted to charge over to compete, but Xu Hongjun's soldiers, ten thousand arrows hit the enemy, and it instantly made people feel bad, so Liu Bei packed up the remnants of the army, took away Liu Ji's body, and then retreated back to Yuan Shao's land.

"Hey, hey, take it, I'll give it to you. ”

The jade seal of the country was thrown to Liu Beijunzhong, and then Xu Hongjun officially settled in Huainan City, and then quickly pacified the forces of all nearby states and counties.
