Some historians once said that in the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Apu only had tens of thousands of troops, and even if he added the surrendered Jingzhou Naval Division, the strength was only 70,000 or 80,000. But externally, it is claimed to be 800,000.

If this were not the case, with the 30,000 or 40,000 horses of the Wu and Shu coalition armies, how could they win this battle?

In the final analysis, it is this one who claims to kill people.

Known as the No. 20 army, Yin Yuhu also wanted to scare the Dragon King, he also read the art of war, thinking that it would be the best result to surrender without a fight.

......

Beiqingcheng.

It's been nearly a month since Su Shi came here.

A month, for a city, will not change much, in the end it is still too short.

But Su Shi appeared here, and without the provision of cement, sand, and stones, the city wall became taller, not to mention, about one-third of the cement road in the whole city was built.

This kind of speed, even in the early days of reform and opening up, is not much more than the speed of Shenzhen, or even faster.

This is the credit of the efforts of the whole people.

There has never been a person who can become the idol of the whole people like Su Shi. (The premise is that the disobedient person is either killed or becomes a first-class crime and temporarily loses his human rights)

It was the arrival of Su Shi that gave them new hope, so that they had fields to plant, jobs to do, and could earn food on their own, and they were of course willing to work for Su Shi.

Among them, there are also some activists who have joined the peasants and soldiers, their pursuit is higher, and their eyes are no longer limited to the problem of being fed, but they have new expectations after going to the Chinese shops in the city.

That is, after being full, you can wear a little better and use it better.

For these requirements, Su Shi can be satisfied, and the premise is that everyone must perform well.

As long as you're willing to work hard, none of this is a problem.

When the pay is proportional to what you get, you can imagine how everyone's enthusiasm will be, often it is dark, and the people who come out to work are not willing to disperse, and by the light of the street lamp, they will work until they are weak before going to rest.

When they wake up, they will be full of food, and they will continue to use all their strength to work for Su Shi and use all their strength for Su Shi.

With everyone's efforts, the city wall of Beiqingcheng is four feet and twelve meters high, and the outside is covered with cement, and the inside is also mixed with steel bars, which can be said to be very strong.

Mo said that there are no firearms now, and even if there are artillery, it is even more difficult to blast through such a city wall.

Meng Youde came with the news that Goryeo was going to use troops against Beiqingcheng. Su Shi is not in a hurry, compared to him taking the initiative to fight others, he hopes that others will fight him, which can more effectively consume the enemy's strength and make the battle to destroy the enemy easier and more direct.

Su Shi first spread the news that the Goryeo army was going to attack Beiqingcheng, and then he saw a scene of indignation.

Everyone finally lived a better life, under the rule of the Dragon Heavenly King, there were no landlords and gentry, everyone was five acres of land per person, under egalitarianism, no one was much better than the other, which made everyone on the same starting line, and therefore had more motivation to perform, to build a home.

But at this time, the imperial court actually sent a large army to deal with them. Do you want to go back and live the life of the poor, who has eaten the last meal and has no next meal?

It is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and it is easy to go from thrift to luxury.

Seeing that in a few months, the grain and grass will be harvested, and everyone's life will be better and better, at this time, of course, they cannot watch others destroy, and they must also defend their own victorious fruits.

For a time, the voice of defending the homeland became the mainstream, and it was shouted out in the entire Beiqing area.

Taking advantage of this east wind, Su Shi issued the idea of digging ditches and breaking roads, clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and attacking with defense.

As soon as the Dragon Heavenly King gave an order, more than 200,000 people in the entire Beiqing region, even children and the elderly, also went into battle, making various defensive preparations according to Su Shi's ideas.

In 1050 AD, Emperor Li of the Song Dynasty

In June of the first year of You, a Goryeo army of 200,000 from Kaijing appeared under the city of Beiqingcheng.

30,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, plus 50,000 civilians who came to serve in labor to be responsible for transporting grain, when they appeared under Beiqingcheng, they gave people the feeling that they could not see the end at a glance.

Yin Yuhu rode on a tall horse, looking at the city wall that had been strengthened to a height of four zhang, and he had a headache.

At this period when there was no artillery (the Southern Song Dynasty invented the world's first real artillery, its caliber was about 110 mm, and the firing range was already more than 200 meters), siege has always been a hard job.

Especially when facing a fortified city, if you want to attack hard, it often means that you will lose a huge number of troops, and it will take longer.

This time, from a few days or ten days to a few months, and even when the city has enough food and grass, it is normal to attack for a year or two. In the very exaggerated European war, the Ottomans besieged the city of Candia and fought for 21 years.

Beiqingcheng is in front of him, and in the face of such a strong city, Yin Yulong is not sure to fight down.

But no matter how you say it, he is also a general of Goryeo, born in a family of generals, and Yin Yulong also has his own rules and regulations for fighting. He first sent people to make catapults and ladders for the siege of the city, and at the same time sent people to shout under the city, how to say that the Dragon Heavenly King should not be treated as an outsider.

Second, he sent several units of his army to bypass Beiqingcheng and enter directly into the area under his control.

In a word, take a multi-point attack to completely isolate Beiqingcheng. Such a lonely city is surrounded but not fought, and the final winner will be himself.

Starting with Beiqingcheng, a total of six Goryeo armies with a total of about 10,000 people were sent out.

After sending 10,000 infantry in a blink of an eye, Yin Yulong ordered people to go to the city to shout. It's just that people sent it out, but the effect is very, very bad.

Even with two very, the people who were sent out to shout were shouted by the Goryeo people who defended the city.

With a microphone in hand and the help of a loudspeaker, once someone shouted under the city, the representatives of the peasants and soldiers who had been waiting upstairs for a long time spoke first.

"Join the army of the Dragon King, where everyone will have enough to eat, and everyone will have a field and a land to plant. And as long as you are willing to work, you can earn money to buy beautiful clothes to wear, meat to eat, and a clean new house to live in."

"Come on, we are all poor people, we have never lived for ourselves, and now that the Dragon King is here, it is time to live for us. As long as you put your weapons and surrender voluntarily, even if it is a meritorious performance, you will get a certificate of good status when you come here, and you will soon have everything..."

With the help of loudspeakers, the sound of the castle tower soon reverberated in all directions.

Originally, the Goryeo army who wanted to persuade them to surrender could only withdraw back, but there was no way, who made their voices too quiet, and under the cover of the horn, they couldn't hear what they said at all.

The voice of persuasion from the castle tower came out, and it reached the ears of the Goryeo army under the castle, but no one believed it.

Why should everyone have food, everyone has a field to plant, and even meat can be eaten, so that the devil can be deceived.

If that were the case, wouldn't this place be even more beautiful than the legendary paradise?

How could there be such a place in the world. Besides, they were born poor and lowly, so how could those landlords, gentry, magnates, and officials turn them over?

If everyone is the master, then whoever does the work will plough the land. Could it be that it is impossible to let those old men go to farm the land themselves and make jokes.

No one took the shouts of the people of Beiqingcheng on the city tower seriously. Su Shi didn't point to everyone to believe it now, what he wanted was to leave an impression on everyone first, and when he persuaded them later, it wouldn't seem so abrupt.

If the persuasion failed, Yin Yuhu was not in a hurry, the trebuchet was still under construction, and it would take time, and the army sent to the Beiqingcheng area to sweep did not come back, he could afford to wait.

The sweeping army he had hoped for was now under siege.

The road was cut off in advance, and only a few trails could be accessed from behind the city

In the North Qingcheng area, every Goryeo army that came here was targeted early.

In the sky, the drones have been following covertly, but the Goryeo army, who have never seen anything, did not pay attention to these at all, and their whole energy was focused on the next plunder.

When the mountain bandits go out of the mountains and attack the people, then they rob, and that is called murder.

The matter was on the officers and soldiers, but they were ordered to do errands. As for "taking" some of the people's belongings when searching for the bandits, that's just a matter of doing it.

Besides, the army came out to help the people drive out bandits, and even if that is the case, what is it to take away your little things?

With this in mind, the Goryeo army came with hope, but when they actually entered the area of Beiqingcheng from those prescribed roads, they found that they could not see a single person in sight, and even if they entered some villages, they were empty.

Don't talk about people, that is, there is not even a grain of grain. Look at the book

This is the fortified wall Kiyono, but this gives the Goryeo army a very bad feeling.

Some people can't get anything, and in a fit of rage, they start setting fire to their houses to vent their anger. What's more, they went directly into the wheat field and vented all kinds of dissatisfaction in their hearts by trampling on it.

A day passed, and the Goryeo army, which had no gain, found a place to rest. Those who are close to the village are in the village, and those who do not have a village have found an open place, thinking that they will go deeper tomorrow, and they should be rewarded.

During the day, it was the Goryeo Army that was showing off its might, but at night, it became the world of the Su family's army.

After sleeping for a day, at night, the Su family soldiers were all in good spirits, and then after an order, a group of cavalry surrounded and killed the set target that they had been eyeing during the day.
