Chapter 25 You're not the only one who can make holes

It is said that Liu Hou convened the generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the city, but in the face of a male city like a turtle shell, everyone was at a loss. Everyone also put forward some opinions, and even the rough man of the vulture bone had a bad idea, but after discussing and discussing, in the end, he did not come up with a way to do it.

In the end, I went back to the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, and I still felt that only digging a tunnel was a relatively reliable method, and the other methods were all bad ideas that were risky and expected to cause heavy damage.

However, Liu Hou has also analyzed it before, and this tunneling also has two big shortcomings, one is that it takes too much time, and the other is that it is likely to be discovered by the Eastern Wu Army and countered.

How to solve these two defects, everyone discussed again, and they did not think of a good solution for the time being. Liu Hou saw that it was getting late, so he broke up the meeting and asked everyone to go back to rest, planning to discuss it again tomorrow. After all, today is the first day of camping, and there are still many things to deal with in the camp.

As soon as the night patrol matters are met, their own generals are properly arranged, and these things are all in order, and Liu Hou doesn't have to worry about anything at all. After making his usual rounds of the camps, he returned to his great account and slept peacefully.

slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing, Liu Hou woke up suddenly, thinking that it could be that the people of Dongwu came to steal the camp? He was not very alarmed, after all, he had been in the military for many years, and he was no stranger to stealing camps, he himself sent people to do this kind of thing, and they were also stolen from their camps.

For preventing the enemy from stealing the camp, the Shu army has a plan, a complete set of countermeasures, and actual combat experience.

Liu Hou put on his armor with his hands and feet with the help of his guards, and listened attentively to the shouts of killing. After listening to it for a while, he couldn't help but change his face, this shouting and killing came from all directions, not only from outside the camp, but also from somewhere in the camp.

Could it be that the enemy has already entered the camp? How is this possible? With the strong camp of the Shu army, coupled with the defense of firearms, which army can break through the defense line and enter the camp in such a short time?

At this moment, a herald stumbled into the camp, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a dry voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the big thing is not good, the Dongwu people have entered the camp." ”

"What! What's going on? Liu Hou was shocked, he raised his eyes, and saw that this herald was covered in blood, and there were two feather arrows stuck in his back, obviously after some hard fighting, he escaped with great difficulty.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qizuo, the villain is a personal soldier under the lord of Ugo, and at the time of the third watch, a place in the camp of my second division suddenly collapsed, revealing a big pit.

Countless Dongwu people crawled out of the pit, killed people and set fire to the camp, the lord of the country has led people to block them desperately, but the Dongwu people are endless, except for the patrolling soldiers, the rest of the people are not wearing armor, therefore, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and the shape is very bad.

He also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to rescue him as soon as possible. The herald took a few breaths, and after breathing well, he uttered the words in one breath.

When Liu Hou heard this person talk about the lord of Ugo, he noticed that he was "black, thin, and short", and he looked like a typical Southern Barbarian. Others do not call the vulture the lord of the country, and most call him "the vulture general", even though the vulture is not actually a vulture.

The one who calls the vulture bone the lord of the country is usually a member of his own Ugo clan, and it is actually taboo to call it like this, but Liu Hou has never cared much about these trivial matters.

Fortunately, although this person is a barbarian, he is obviously a barbarian who can speak well, and he can explain things clearly in a few words. The vulture arranged for him to be a herald, and it seems that he has a good sense of knowledge. This time, Liu Hou completely understood, not only would they dig tunnels, but it seemed that Lu Xun also knew how to do it.

Lu Xun obviously had a premeditated plan, calculated the location where the Shu army would camp, and dug the tunnel in advance. After the Shu army set up camp here, on the first night of the Shu army's camp, when his foothold was not stable, he decisively launched a sneak attack.

This sneak attack is an internal and external attack, and the outside is attacked by a large army, and then secretly arranges people and horses to sneak into the Shu camp from the pre-dug tunnel, and come to the inside to bloom, this plan can not be described as vicious, of course, from the perspective of the Dongwu people, this plan is not bad.

Lu Xun lived up to his reputation as a wise brain in Dongwu, and he actually thought of such a clever plan. In the past, when people besieged and counter-besieged the city, the besieging party tried to dig tunnels to sneak into the city and attack the city gate, so as to achieve the purpose of breaking the city.

In turn, he dug tunnels out of the city and attacked the besieging troops. It's normal to think about it, he is fully qualified to do this. First of all, he had plenty of time, he had been in Changsha for a long time, and he had long known that the prince of Xishu would lead his troops to attack Changsha, so he had a lot of time to carry out this civil engineering.

From this point of view, it can also be seen that Lu Xun has a long-term vision, and many things have been plotted early. Second, he had ample manpower to carry it out. He had an army of 200,000 under his command, and it was easy to dig a tunnel outside the city.

Anyway, those big-headed soldiers are idle, and they have to provide them with food if they dig tunnels or not, so it is better to let them do some work.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Xun arrived in Changsha County, he began to build city defenses, in addition to strengthening the city wall, adding arrow towers, corner towers, and building several obstacles outside the city wall, in fact, he also sent people to carry out a secret project, that is, to dig this tunnel straight to the outside of the city.

Lu Xun studied the military style of the prince of Western Shu, and speculated that he would definitely garrison the army outside the south gate, and through Guò's study of the topography, the specific location of the Shu army camp was also counted. Because in ancient times, when marching and fighting, camping could not be randomly selected, and many conditions such as water source and terrain should be met, and experienced generals would generally choose some favorable terrain to camp.

In the same way, an experienced general can also speculate based on the terrain that the opponent will choose to camp there. Of course, this is not absolutely accurate, and each general has a different style, and there are still slight differences in the selection.

No, fortunately, Liu Hou's way of thinking is really a little different from that of ordinary people, so the tunnel opening of the Eastern Wu Army was opened to the station of the Second Division, not directly to the Chinese army's tent. If this tunnel is opened near the tent of the Chinese army, then only God knows whether Liu Hou's life can be saved.

Now that the tunnel entrance is in the camp of the vultures, it can be said that it is a blessing in misfortune. Most of the subordinates of the vulture bones are people from the original vine armor army, that is, those who are brave and ruthless.

They were different from the new vine armor soldiers who joined later, and they would only practice the oblique slash move repeatedly. They are all good at hand-to-hand combat, and this is exactly where they come into play.

Due to the large number of soldiers patrolling in the battalion, almost at the moment when the ground subsided, the tunnel mouth appeared, the patrol soldiers had already discovered the anomaly here and sounded the warning gong. In addition to the patrols on duty at night, many of the awakened vine armor soldiers hurriedly entered the battle before they had time to pierce the armor.

Fortunately, there are these brave and ruthless Southern Barbarian soldiers, they have strong martial arts and rich combat experience, and they will not fall behind in the fight with the Eastern Wu soldiers.

If you change the recruits who only practice diagonal splitting later, you will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Eastern Wu soldiers at this time. After all, that diagonal slash is only good if you are wearing rattan armor, and if there is no protection of rattan armor, it is very likely that their oblique slash has not yet hit people, and they have already been hacked to death first.

The vulture also entered the battle without armor piercing, and after he was awakened, he reached out and grabbed the mace and rushed out to fight, he had the courage of ten thousand people, and ordinary people could not get close to him. However, there were too many Eastern Wu soldiers, and Lu Xun had enough time to dig tunnels, so he dug the tunnels very widely, so in a short period of time, many Eastern Wu soldiers entered the Shu camp through the tunnels.

Fortunately, there is a fierce general like the vulture bone, and his mace can be regarded as a group attack move, sweeping a large area, and in this regard, his killing efficiency is even higher than that of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's guns also have to be poked one by one, and no matter how fast his gun is, it can only be regarded as a single attack skill.

In addition, the patrol was armoured, and although the number was a little smaller, it also played an important role at this time. It was by relying on them that they withstood the steady stream of Dongwu soldiers pouring out from the mouth of the tunnel. However, there were too many soldiers in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and they were about to be unable to withstand the vulture bones, so they had to send someone to ask Liu Hou for help.

Liu Hou knows the vulture very well, and knows that this guy is conceited and has a good face, and he is not willing to ask for help when he has to do it, he would rather knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and if he can do it directly, even if he pays a big price, he must do it himself first, rather than asking others for help.

Now that he has sent someone for help, it means that the situation is indeed very bad. Liu Hou didn't say a word, and immediately asked people to blow the night emergency assembly number. Like this kind of training for emergency assembly and dispatch at night, the Shu army has done a lot in peacetime, just to deal with this kind of night camp scene.

Therefore, there was no confusion in the Shu army, and the sleeping soldiers quickly got up, picked up weapons, and assembled at the designated place. Liu Hou's orders were issued one after another.

He ordered the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Division to rush to support the vultures, and the musketeers only needed 5 minutes to complete the process of getting up, dressing, and carrying weapons. So it's best to send them to support them quickly.

In addition, the 5th and 6th Musketeer Regiments were sent to quickly reinforce the perimeter lines. The 3rd and 4th regiments were on duty tonight, and listening to the gunfire, they believed that they had already exchanged hands with the Soochow army that was killed from outside.

After arranging the musketeers, he ordered the third division, all the soldiers to wear armor first, although it takes more time to wear armor, but there is no rattan armor, their combat effectiveness is not even one-tenth, especially the third division of Ehuan, most of the soldiers joined the rattan armor army later, they will only slash that move, without rattan armor, they are inferior to ordinary soldiers.

Liu Hou still understood the principle of sharpening knives and cutting wood, and Liu Hou ordered them, after putting on their armor, to separate into two parts, one part to reinforce the vulture bones, and the other to reinforce the external defense line.
