Outside the east gate of Xudu, the terrain here is higher.

Liu Bei's 30,000 men and horses were all dispatched, except for the north city gate, where no troops were deployed, and Liu Bei's army was outside the other three city gates.

At this moment, Liu Bei, Qin Feng, Guan Zhangzhao and other generals are here.

How to attack a city? Liu Bei and others' military career is not short, over the years, running around, fighting around, fighting a lot, but there are only a few real siege battles, and it is these sieges that also make Liu Bei and others deeply understand the tragedy of siege warfare.

For the besieging side, even if there are siege equipment, the number of casualties must be several times that of the defending side, therefore, this kind of siege warfare with huge casualties, from ancient times to the present, is not a last resort, and the general will never blindly choose to attack the city.

As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: "Attack the heart first, attack the city below!" ”

Therefore, attacking the city is the next step, and there is no way to do it.

Qin Feng looked at the sergeants in Liu Bei's army carrying siege ladders and siege wood, not even catapults, let alone well fences, so should the sergeants set up wooden ladders to attack the city? This siege weapon is too simple, right?

He sat on the horse's back and stroked the horse's mane and asked Liu Bei: "I don't know how Xuande Gong plans to attack the city?" ”

Liu Bei looked at the Cao army banner fluttering on the city wall, the guards were lined up, there were still many people on the city wall coming and going to carry the sassaga and rolling stones, and the soldiers defending the city set up a lot of cauldrons to boil water, he knew that this siege battle was really not easy to fight, once the battle started, he had to pay a huge sacrifice to fight the price.

Liu Bei frowned, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Shu beside Qin Feng, and couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what kind of plan Mr. Yuanzhi has?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head, this is a hard bone, even if he has thousands of schemes, but on the opposite city wall, there are Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other top strategists, It will not have any effect, and the other party will be able to see through his tricks in minutes.

Liu Bei was a little disappointed, sighed and said, "Could it be that it can only be filled with human lives?" ”

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and said: "Big brother, let me go and call the battle, as long as Xiahoudun goes out of the city to face the battle, wait for me to kill him, take advantage of the situation to chase and kill the rout and rush into the city!" ”

At this time, Xu Shu said: "General Guan is famous, and when he arrives in the city, he is afraid that Xiahou will not dare to fight, if you want to lead him into battle, you must find a person who is not famous, but can win him in martial arts!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu raised his hand and stroked his long beard quite complacently, very satisfied with Xu Shu's praise for him.

Zhang Fei immediately shouted: "I'll go to Xiahoudun to fight!" ”

Liu Bei immediately said: "Third brother can't go, your martial arts Xiahoudun has been taught, he won't go out of the city to fight with you!" ”

"Hahaha······ In my opinion, this task belongs to General Zhao Zilong! Qin Feng pointed at Zhao Yun, but hesitated again, "It's just ·······"

Liu Guanzhang and Xu Shu couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun, Qin Feng's words seemed to be feasible, Zhao Yun's martial arts were not weaker than Guan Zhang's, and they didn't have much reputation.

Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied, "Oh, what kind of mother-in-law and mother are you, you are not happy, don't sell it, say it quickly!" ”

Gu Li

Qin Feng said with a smile: "It's just that Xiahoudun has the heavy responsibility of defending the city, how can he easily go out of the city and fight with others?" General Zhao can bring a few sergeants with a mouth and a vicious mouth, and scold Xiahoudun to the point of blood, smoke, and scold him so that he loses his mind, maybe he will go out of the city to fight! ”

Liu Bei immediately said: "Third brother, you go to the army to select a few such sergeants!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Fei agreed, and ran to the rear after hitting the horse.

Liu Bei said to Qin Feng and the others at this time: "It's not too late for me to go forward and say a few words to Xun Yu and Xiahoudun before starting a war!" ”

Xu Shu nodded: "Yes, the division is unknown, and the accident will not be successful; Only when the teacher is famous can he be invincible! ”

Liu Bei beat his horse and galloped forward, and when he ran to the bottom of the city, he raised his head and shouted: "Who is the defender of the city?" ”

A rough voice came from the city tower: "Xiahoudun is here, Liu Bei Xiao'er, what do you want?" ”

"Xiahoudun, you are a puppet, what qualifications do you have to talk to me? Tell Xun Yu to come out and answer! ”

Xiahou was so angry that he clenched his weapon tightly, and was about to scold Liu Bei for being a weaver and peddler, when Xun Yu walked out of the city tower and replied loudly: "Xun Yu is here, what does General Liu have to say?" ”

Liu Bei said loudly: "Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief, this person deceived the king, forced the nobles to death, killed the ministers, and the people and gods were angry, which was better than Dong Zhuo, the leader of the troubled dynasty back then!" Xun Lingjun, you are an important minister of the Han family, why did you abandon your father and follow Cao Thief? Now Cao thief and general Yuan Benchu in Hebei war, I by the Son of Heaven with the edict to lead the world Qin Wang to rescue His Majesty in danger, Xun Lingjun why not open the city gate to welcome the king into the city, with the festival of loyalty and filial piety? ”

Xun Yu said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter whether the edict is true or false, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it has been fifteen or sixteen years, and the princes from all over the country have recruited troops and horses to fight each other in order to expand their territory and seize the population, causing the common people to hang upside down and Li Shu to be stuck. ”

"Liu Bei, you are a weaver and a sloper, in order to get promotion, you go around swaggering and deceiving, demagoguery, and you are really the culprit of the chaos in the world! When the son is still in the city of Xudu today, if you are really a loyal minister, how dare you raise troops at the feet of the Son of Heaven? Why don't you quickly disband the soldiers and horses, and enter the palace to ask the Son of Heaven for guilt? ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Hahaha······ The Son of Heaven was placed under house arrest by you and other rebellious ministers and thieves, with no power and no power, and an empty name, and the Cao thief coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and you were all his minions! If you open the city gate and surrender, you will not be blamed for the past, if you break through the city, you will be able to calculate the new and old accounts together! ”

On the city tower, Xiahoudun shouted; "Liu Da'er, don't talk nonsense, if you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, you will get out!"

"In that case, you and I will talk with knives and guns!" Liu Bei dropped a sentence, turned around and returned to his own formation, and made his words clear, it can be regarded as a famous division, and it is definitely not possible to start fighting without making a sound.

"Zilong, it's time for you to make a name for yourself!" Liu Bei hit his horse and returned to his own formation, and nodded to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun raised his gun and clenched his fists, and took a few scolding sergeants found by Zhang Fei to beat their horses and galloped towards the city gate.

A stone's throw away from the city wall, Zhao Yun raised his gun and pointed at the city tower and shouted: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, can Xiahou Pifu dare to go out of the city and fight me to the death?" ”

"Hahaha······" On the city tower, Xiahou Dun laughed, "There is no one under Liu Da'er?" He actually sent an unknown person to challenge me Xiahoudun, what a laugh kills me! ”

On the city tower, the Cao army sergeants laughed one after another.
