Chapter 345: The Siege

The successive victories have long washed away the frustration in the Su Ren Pavilion.

With the help of the geographical situation, they actually blocked the Tarzan thieves with local miscellaneous soldiers. But even so, many pavilion guards still have a heart for the Taishan thief.

These people are really powerful Heshuo, the giants who have defeated the northern and southern armies in a row, and they are really fierce.

They still remember that they met a thief.

Because the road was wet, this person directly fought barefoot, led an iron spear, crossed several fences, and killed several people. Then when the Su people were about to surround this person, he was rampaged by him, fought a military officer, and cut off his head before Shi Shiran went back.

From beginning to end, this person felt as if he had entered a no-man's land. Although it was discouraged, the samurai present were ashamed of themselves.

But what if the Tarzan thief warrior is sharp? Don't you still have to retreat.

At this time, the flooding water, from the camp of thieves to the south bank, rafts continued, all of them were retreating Taishan thieves.

They won the battle!

Looking at the vast blue waves ahead, Su You on the wall of the Su Ren Pavilion sighed:

"This battle is not easy to come by, if it weren't for the spring water rising, we might not be able to stop such a tiger and wolf army."

Having said that, Su You's face was still wrinkled.

The heart of the side, who was also his clan brother Su Yu, asked:

"Brother, you're worried that the thieves will come back after they get acquainted with the water. But don't you know what else to resist when the time comes?"

Su You's eyes were full of sadness, and he nodded:

"Yes, in terms of strength, we and the Tarzan Army are no different from Yunyan. And the frustration in the back still intends to take our blunt thief's soldiers, so he refuses to send reinforcements. If we continue to fight like this, my Su clan will die. Moreover, I still have a trace of doubt, the thieves went north with great fanfare, and because of a setback, they retreated?"

But the clan brother Su Yu had a different opinion, and he smiled:

"Brother, you're looking too highly of the thieves. No matter how strong they are, they are flesh and blood, and they will eat millet and get sick. Some people ago, I led my clansmen to attack the thief Kou Grain Road, and their camp had already cut off their supply. Then you look at the fortifications built on the opposite side, although they have been built on the high ground to avoid the spring water, but so many people and hedgehogs are gathered in this small place, and it will inevitably be plagued for a long time."

So Su Yu said firmly:

"Don't worry, brother, how can there be so many clever plans, but they are all like this."

What Su Yu said still made some sense, so Su You also nodded, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

Seeing that his brother was a little calm, Su Yu continued:

"Also, as for my brother's worries about the next time the Tarzan thieves come back, it's nothing more than fighting, leaving, and surrendering."

Su You motioned for Su Yu to continue.

Su Yu was confident and said:

"War means that while the morale of the other generation is low, the army is still withdrawing. I can cover up the past directly in the back, as long as I keep harassing the opponent along the way, the opponent's attack is insufficient, and the morale is low, and I will inevitably be defeated. When the time comes, the thief army has folded nearly 10,000 elites here, and those county guards who are eyeing the county guards will not go up and tear apart the Taishan thieves? So, that's the best way to go."

Su You thought about it, but still shook his head:

"This strategy is too risky, I have 200 soldiers under my command, plus my clan soldiers can pull out a thousand people, but the clan soldiers are all good at fighting formations, and their combat strength is not helpful. And no matter how bad the thief is, he can gather thousands of elite soldiers, and he can destroy us with a backhand. It's not going to work, it's too dangerous."

Su You was still very sober, and he knew that the reason why he could resist the Taishan army on his side was because after the waterway flooded, there was only a narrow aisle leading to the Su Ren Pavilion, so the advantage of thieves in numbers could not be shown.

But as this brother said, when the time comes, how can they fight this little number on the vast plains?

However, he also understood what this clan brother meant, that is, to take advantage of the familiar geographical conditions, constantly disturb along the road, and not engage in frontal confrontation. But Su You has selfish intentions, that is, why do you want to use his soldiers for the benefit of others?

So, Su You asked what it meant to go and surrender.

After rejecting the first strategy, Su Yu was actually not interested (), but since his brother asked

, he will briefly talk about it.

"This is very simple, that is, to avoid the edge of the Taishan thieves going north, people are going to Xiangguo, and they have no enmity with us. Since you can't beat it, it's better to avoid it. I saw that the majestic Taihang in the west was an excellent place of refuge. It's better to move all the children of the family to Taihang Mountain, and there will be a paradise in troubled times."

After Su Yu finished speaking, Su You smiled bitterly:

"Good brother, do you know how difficult it is in the Taihang Mountain, so many of our clansmen move to the mountain, at least half of us will starve to death. Where else is there any happy land, there are countless mountains and bandits in this Taihang Mountain, as well as the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Han Army. These people will eat people."

Su Yu was also annoyed, this doesn't work, that doesn't work, he shrugged his shoulders directly:

"Then let's just go down, it's the easiest."

Su You scolded:

"Nonsense, that Tarzan thief is divided into land. Do you want the inheritance of your ancestors to fail?"

But Su Yu directly asked:

"Then I will ask, what if the land is divided? In the end, don't you still give it to my Su clansmen? Now the land is in the hands of the main line, and those remote branches have long been the serfs of the main line, so what's wrong with dividing the land? The meat rots in the pot."

Su You never thought about this stubble, so he was directly stunned by Su Yu's question.

He and Su Yu are not the main line, in fact, the head of the main line family will not be in his hometown, and he has already gone to Kyoto to socialize. Therefore, it is not that he and Su Yu have suffered a big loss, but the biggest loss is the main family.

But the long-term inertia, coupled with the fact that the Taishan army had just been defeated, how could it suddenly turn to surrender?

Therefore, in the end, Su You was speechless, and only watched the Taishan thief retreat south, neither chasing, leaving, nor surrendering.

At this time, the Taishan army was in the camp on the north bank of the water, and Guan Yu and the three staff members were climbing to the north to look at the Su Ren Pavilion opposite.

After a while, seeing that Su Renting was completely motionless, Guan Yu turned his head to Shen Shang and said:

"Shen-kun, it seems that your strategy is not working. The thieves in this pavilion have not been mobilized by us."

Shen Shang, who was dressed in black and black, first bowed to Guan Yu to ask for sin, and then said:

"It's okay, this strategy is to be happy, but if it doesn't work, those teams who cross the river can also protect the grain road behind it, so that the enemy won't attack again."

Guan Yu didn't blame Shen Shang for what he meant, so he nodded according to his words.

Then, Guan Yu asked Xun You, who was on the side:

"Where has Li Hubu swam now?"

Xun You replied without hesitation:

"Yesterday's news that he was sent back to the camp, General Li has already taken the Flying Dragon and Flying Tiger two cavalry troops to the north of Xiangguo, and has begun to block the communication between Xiangguo and the north."

Guan Yu nodded, stroked his beard and said:

"Looks like we're going to step up on our side."

Subsequently, Guan Yu asked the last person in a blunt tone, Feng Fang:

"Are you sure this spring water will fall tonight today?"

Feng Fang wiped his wet forehead, gritted his teeth and said firmly:

"Guan Shuai, no problem."

Guan Yu nodded, said no more, and went down to the watchtower.

Everything is waiting for the dust to settle tonight.

And over there, as soon as Guan Yu went, Feng Fang was deflated, grabbed Xun Yu's sleeve and pleaded:

"Xun Jun, I mean just in case, just in case, the water didn't fall this night. Xun Jun must give me a hand and say a few kind words for me and Guan Shuai."

Xun You smiled, didn't say anything, and went down.

As for Shen Shang, he has long since disappeared, leaving Feng Fang alone to suffer from gains and losses.

In fact, Guan Yu was not critical of Feng Fang at all, after all, who can say for sure about this matter of mountains and rivers? But this Feng Fang took care of everything, saying that he had a deep understanding of the water situation in this place, and he couldn't say that in three days, the water would retreat.

Originally, there was no joke in the army, and in addition to being trapped in this narrow camp for many days, the morale of the army was already impetuous. Now this man is so full of words, and when the time comes, he will not be able to count, and if he can't say anything, he will use this person's head ().

But that's all

Guan Yu's thoughts were still unfazed.

The clock was fast approaching night.

There are people who can't sleep at night, and there is constant snoring...

At this time, on the big tent, the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army were already wearing helmets and armor.

Guan Yu was also dressed neatly, sitting on the top of the horse, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

An official lifted the tent curtain, rushed to the scene, and reported:

"The water level has not dropped."

Feng Fang on the side was trembling and didn't dare to look at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu closed his eyes and said:

"I'll report back in an hour."

"Whoa!"

After saying that, the soldiers retreated.

Several brave generals below Guan Yu, such as Dian Wei and Ma Bao, looked at each other, but none of them spoke, so they had to continue to wait.

Time passed minute by minute, and an hour later, the soldiers came again with their tents.

As soon as he came, he said:

"Boss, the water level has receded by half."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was in high spirits, especially Feng Fang, who had been trembling and relieving, all of them stood up and looked like they had a chance of winning.

Everyone looked at Guan Yu, waiting for the boss's life.

Among them, the generals present had bright thoughts, and secretly said, this water has receded halfway, and this soldier came? Why? Just because the order given by the marshal is reported after an hour.

It is said that an hour is an hour, and this is a military order.

Guan Yu looked around at the generals and ordered:

"Tear down the barracks, spread the muddy ground, and use all the grass in the general."

After that, Guan Yu looked at Dian Wei who was in his left hand and said with a smile:

"Awe, it's feasible for you to take the lead in the charge this time."

Dian Wei was overjoyed, and then got up without hesitation and said:

"Why?"

After that, the generals were ordered to disperse.

Guan Yu, who was left, glanced at Feng Fang on the side and praised:

"You're fine."

After saying that, it was also out of the account.

At this moment, Feng Fang glanced at Xun Yu and said to himself:

"Xun Jun, Feng is expected?"

Xun You bowed slightly and praised seriously:

"Feng Jun, it's better to have no last resort."

On the 23rd, the Taishan army trapped in the camp took advantage of the retreat of the water and launched an attack on the Su Ren Pavilion overnight.

The right army Dian Wei personally led 400 armor soldiers, went around to the Su Ren Pavilion, and took the lead in ascending first. At the same time, 400 people under Sima Chen Guangling under Dian Wei attacked the wall in the south.

The Su people were caught off guard by the upper pavilion guards, and they attacked them in front and back, and they couldn't support it, and they were defeated and retreated. Su You, who was resting, came out of the tent in a robe, and when he saw this situation, he knew what to do, so he led the remnants of a hundred people out of the east gate and went straight to the Su clan barracks outside the east of the city.

Li Damu outside the city has been waiting with Tao Yong, Ma Bao, and Li Jing's three camps, and when he saw that there were thieves prominent, he immediately chased and killed. The Su soldiers were defeated, the army collapsed, and they were chased and killed by Li Damu and other generals for several miles.

In this battle, except for Su You's escape, Su Yu surrendered with most of the clan soldiers, and the rest were killed by Li Damu's army, more than 200 people. There are many flags, knives, cards, hundreds.

Su Ren Pavilion, broken!

At dawn on the 24th, after the night battle, Guan Yu's Northern Expeditionary Army marched again, with five divisions at present and five divisions behind, quickly advancing to the north? Water.

At this time, Li Ding, the general of the Han army, was already there? Mizutsu is ambushed.

Gao Ya, the forward under the command of Dian Wei Shuai, was walking along the riverside road with the vanguard battalion, when he encountered an ambush by Li Ding and eight hundred Li tribes.

It is also an artifact that supports offline reading, App]

The Li clan can be used as a local tyrant of the local arbitrary township song, and it is by virtue of this clan soldier who is trained in the Han and French battle formations. Therefore, its combat power is not inferior to that of the Elegant Department. As soon as it was killed, it swarmed forward, and the momentum was very fierce.

However, the Li () soldiers lacked armor in the end, and the armor rate of the Gao Ya Department was almost full except for the archers. Therefore, after the initial chaos, the Gao Ya Department pushed the Li army to ambush the retrograde.

After a moment of scuffle, Li Ding was defeated, lost more than 100 corpses and fled back to Jindu in a hurry, just as he was going to pass

The river burned down the Jinqiao, and he met another Xiaorui under the command of Dian Wei, Chen Guangbu, who rushed over.

It turned out that in the melee on the side of the Gao Ya Ministry, Chen Guang, who was not far away, did not directly lead the troops to the rescue, but took the department around it? On the south bank of the water, he plans to take the bridge first.

But unfortunately, it was one step slower than Li Ding, allowing this person to escape to the north shore. However, in the end, the bridge was preserved.

After cleaning up the battlefield and capturing several clan flags and ribbons, the Gao Ya Department over there also quickly rushed to the north shore. Then the two armies crossed the river one after another.

Here, Gao Ya and Chen Guang were about to continue to pursue and kill Li Ding's remnants, but they encountered elite soldiers from Xiangguo City, a thousand-strong bareheaded army.

This army has the Fu Zhi clan as the backbone, and Zhao Bei is the dog's tooth, and the combat effectiveness is very amazing. The two departments of Gao Ya and Chen Guang have been fighting fiercely for too long, and they can't stop this department.

So, you can only retreat to? On the north shore of the water, it is intended to rely on the Tsu Bridge to hold on. But the Red Heads did not catch up, and they hurried back to Xiangguo City after receiving the remnants of Li Ying's army.

Then, on the afternoon of February 24, Guan Yu finally arrived with the follow-up army? The north shore of the water.

After converging with Gao Ya and Chen Guang, the army continued northward and camped outside the city of Xiangguo, and then besieged it several times.

In this way, from February 15, Guan Yu set off from Yecheng with a large army of 10,000 people, to February 24, a total of nine days before and after. Successively waded through the sleeping water, the water, the water, the water? Water, Fallen Tantai, Guangnian, Suren Pavilion, ? Four walls of the water bridge. It traveled 200 miles, defeated more than 3,000 Han troops and local tribes, and captured 1,200 people.

It can be said that the anti-Thai forces in the north of Zhao State have been swept away, and now as long as the city of Xiangguo in front of them is defeated, the strategy of this time has been preliminarily achieved.

But when he looked at the small city of Xiangguo in front of him, Guan Yu was silent.

Just because the small city in front of me turned out to be a brick and stone wall.

You must know that the cities in the world, except for the two capitals that will be built with bricks and stones, which other places are not earthen cities built with rammed earth plates. Even in the south, because of the heavy rains, the earthen city is prone to collapse, and there are even no walls.

And here, he Guan Yu actually saw a brick and stone rampart, which made him not surprised.
