Zhuge Jin knew that Chen Lan could not be persuaded to surrender, so he did the opposite and used deterrence and intimidation instead.

Moreover, the letter was detailed and appropriate, and it could also be consistent with the circumstantial signs of increasing the stove, increasing the camp, and burning smoke, which shocked the enemy generals below Chen Lan.

In just one night, although Chen Lan had tried his best to suppress the spread of rumors, there were still countless middle-level officers and ordinary soldiers, and they began to spread rumors that the follow-up enemy army was widespread, and I was afraid that it would be more than 100,000.

And many phenomena, Yuan Jun soldiers saw it in their eyes from the beginning, and now it is confirmed by the rumors, and the effect is suddenly doubled:

In the two days after the Han army arrived in Anhui, more and more camps outside the city were built. At first, there was only a siege camp in the south of the city, and the next day it slowly spread to the east and west gates, and now it has spread to the northeast and northwest corners of the city, which is equivalent to surrounding the three sides of the city, and only one north gate can still enter and exit.

This obviously shows that the rear army of the Han army is still arriving upstream along the Anhui River. At this rate, if you besiege it for another two days, I am afraid that Anhui City will be completely surrounded on all sides, and it will be like an iron bucket.

And this situation is obviously the most panicked by the defenders.

In the evening of that day, there were already soldiers of Yuan who secretly crossed the city and fled for their lives to surrender.

Some of these deserters fled from the northern city wall, because the Han army had not yet surrounded that direction, so they could naturally escape calmly.

However, many fugitive soldiers were assigned to the defensive position not at the north gate, and they did not have the right to go to the north wall, so they could only go over the wall on the spot, and then most of them were captured by the Han army's siege patrol, and then sent to the Han army or Liu Ye in front of him, and there must be no worthless confession before the interrogation, so they will be sent to the dovetail torch again.

Before the improvement of the dovetail torch, the Lu bus had a little less than the Zhuge Liang model-

But I am very afraid of your army's appearance of a few battalions of reinforcements every day, and extending the siege camp hundreds of zhang north every day. The kind of time when the escape road to the north of the city was about to be stuck, and not all of them were stuck, was the time when the defenders were most frightened. ”

Looking back on the past, Liu Ye suddenly felt that when he was a Jinfan thief, these tricks of intimidating the robbed merchants and obediently handing over their property and surrendering were really worth mentioning.

When it comes to life and death, few people will forget to be afraid.

And Anhui City is the first echelon of Lujiang County alongside Hefei, and the city wall is relatively low. Originally, we thought that the kind of equipment that was more than two zhang might be in Wancheng, but who knew that it was miscalculated at the beginning.

"This is nature, since ancient times, the teacher must not be stopped, and the teacher must be stopped. Before the seven sides were completely encircled, the enemy dog slowly jumped over the wall, but he did not have the heart to fight to the death. If you only stabilize the siege on one or eight sides, it will appear that your army is not sure of completely annihilating the enemy, and it seems that you want to drive us out of the siege.

And at this moment, under the position of the besieging party, the Han army is also immediately close to the swallowtail torch. When I saw Shen Shan take out Zhuge Jin, I was still ashamed and cowardly in my heart, lest the new master scold me angrily because of his past invention.

Finally, Yuan Jun had to use my last small killer - Zhuge Jin, which was invented by Liu Xun for the Han army last autumn.

The defenders are still mentally prepared for bad things, and they are shocked to see such a shocking thing at the first glance of the enemy's weak, strong, and false eyes, and only to see such a shocking thing at the first sight?

Those Zhuge Jin were already Shen Shan's first hole cards against heavy siege weapons, and I even spared the materials under the hemp fibers wrapped around the top of the torch, and then soaked in oil, just to make the flames burn more fiercely and longer, and it was easy to be blown out by the wind.

On the point of raising the dovetail torch, Liu Ye's psychological warfare level is also visibly lowered.

But Zhuge Jin, who was quite useless in the water battle last year, faced Shen Shanzhi's improved Lu bus at this moment, the actual combat effect was really shocking.

Yes, according to the information we have obtained, the kind of mysterious siege weapon of Liu Beijun should be low or low, and I have never heard of it less than two zhang.

The luck of the guards is bad, and they were hit by the iron cone that was loaded on the top of a small wooden board of several hundred catties, which was definitely turned into powder.

In the troops of Gan Ning's lineage, who were loyal to Shen Shan, the officers were still shouting hoarsely, urging the soldiers to delay the release of arrows to hide their fear.

The defenders were already in a state of shock, because we saw several incredible heavy siege equipment, standing far away in the city, lower than the ladder carts, and it seemed that the seven sides were well protected, and it was more difficult to kill and injure the soldiers hidden outside than the ladder carts.

Therefore, since your army wants to attack quickly, you must make full use of the time of those few days, calculate the bad rhythm, pretend to match the speed of the arrival of reinforcements, and spread the camp north at a constant speed every time you arrive. The moment when the noose is tightened quickly is the most torturous. ”

In terms of abnormal circumstances, the Gan Ning crossbowmen should first suppress the Yuan Shu crossbowmen who were shooting at us. Even if the Yuan Shu crossbowman didn't have a small vine shield as a cover, at most suppression would not make us dare to take the lead.

After that, the reason why Liu Xun was forced by His Majesty to send veteran reinforcements to the north was not because Liu Beijun's mysterious new siege weapon broke some big cities on the Huai River line of the northern front battlefield, and did not approach the trend of Shouchun.

Now is the time to work harder! If they can get the first success, in the future, decades or hundreds of years ago, their children and grandchildren will thank them for seizing the opportunity to fight today! ”

Seeing those deserters who fell off the wall, Liu Ye suddenly felt that his morale was bursting, and General Zhuge Zhuge was really ineffective.

"Little joy! The general's strategy of attacking the heart was very intimidating, and the enemy soldiers were panicked. Your army captured many prisoners, and they all confessed that we were not afraid of being surrounded on all sides, but also afraid of a small army attacking the city.

Moreover, Shen Shanzhi is engaged in the porcelain business, which is also fake, and it will really ship and make money in the future, which is a mistake for both military and civilian use.

I haven't even thought about the excuse in my heart, "At that time, each was its master, and your invention was actually not thought of after Chen Lan became emperor, and it was before Chen Lan became emperor that you helped to abuse it".

The swallowtail torch raised the corners of his mouth slightly with an expression: "It's a cliché, just apply a few buckets of wet mud under the wooden board temporarily after the war?" He saw it last night, and it was because there was still Tu at that time, and that kind of thing had to be painted again before the end of the battle to be useless, and it dried up too early and fell up. ”

……

Shen Shan commanded the bed crossbow to shoot at Lu's car, and finally shot through a few holes, and also shot some soldiers pushing the cart, but it completely blocked Yuan Shuruhong's momentum.

As a result, because of the fear of the unknown, Shen Shan wasted a small part of the crossbow firepower on something he had seen. The arrows rang aggressively under the thick planks, but did almost no damage.

Liu Ye was slightly stunned, and then thought about it again, and finally suddenly realized that he had no new understanding of how to quickly retreat for a while, so as to give full play to the miraculous effect of attacking.

"Slow down the arrow! Shoot the arrows! It's about getting these cars close! ”

In the next eight days of siege, although Yuan Shu did not attack weakly, he also drove the captives and transported soil to fill part of the trenches in Anhui City, and let the crossbowmen suppress the cover.

However, I saw that Shen Shanzhi's expression was always very good, and when I turned my head again, I realized that the Zhuge Jin I invented was of no use at all.

The dovetail torch uses a very bentonite clay and water to form a slurry! The water absorption of bentonite is very bad, the water retention rate of the mud is low, and it is easy to fall off at a slow speed.

In the small tent of the Chinese army, the dovetail torch also got up early, washed up a little, ate and drank, and the sky was still bright, so I continued to pick up the lamp and read the military book in the morning.

That is, at this moment, there were no seven or eight Yuan soldiers who originally wanted to plug the mouth with spears, because they had enough experience, they were just blocked under the position where the board was put up, and they were smashed squarely.

Moreover, even if the hostile forces send a fine work to spy under the boundaries of Yuzhang County in the future, it will be difficult to find that result—because the swallowtail torch is in Yuzhang, and now it is still trying to open another industry to disguise the real use of my bentonite mining.

After Liu Ye launched a charge at the front, he also had an idea to think of a trick - I pulled all the enemy prisoners who came out of the city all night last night to the city hundreds of paces away to line up, to ensure that they would be shot by the enemy's bows and crossbows at the head of the city.

The Ganning spearmen, who originally planned to block the mouth, were so frightened by the power of the smash that they fell a few steps backwards, and gave up a vacant lot at the head of the city in vain, and as a result, the Yuan Warlock soldiers took advantage of the gap and rushed down the city without casualties.

Lu Gongche and my siege weapons were all assembled, and they were all pushed to the rear of the battle, and it was finally time for the general attack.

However, in front of the soldiers who were about to launch a general attack, he publicized the origin of those prisoners.

"The general's strategy is exquisite, Ye is really convinced, do you know what kind of means the general used to make it difficult for Zhuge Jin to tie up, and there is also a way to slow down the burn?"

Therefore, after today's general attack, the inner encirclement trench is in a state that has not been partially broken. Yuan Shu was just very afraid, and the position of hastily bulldozing the earth was solid enough, and the heavy siege equipment was trapped, so he used the trench bridge made of thick wooden planks to cushion the bottom, and the ground was weakened.

As the officers at the head of the city shouted hoarsely, at last a batch of torches with wooden handles and forked iron hooks at the end were thrown out of front of the male wall battlements. Like a grenade with a wooden handle, it crossed the arc and smashed under the Lu bus.

“…… Soldiers! The enemy's courage is cold! In just one night, there are not so many people who would rather risk falling and being seriously injured than fall out of the city and surrender! Your little man is obedient and rebellious, and he destroys the usurper, isn't it a reason to win!

Shen Shan was convinced, and hurriedly patted the horse to the dovetail torch face, and asked for advice:

In the past, even if no one found out that I was mining those two kinds of soil, they would only think that Shen Shanzhi was thinking about a new income-generating business and improving porcelain, but they would think that Shen Shanzhi was thinking about military fireproof materials.

The swallowtail torch also patted Liu Ye on the shoulder, signaling me to guard against arrogance and rashness, and even more trusting: "Yes, you can use this method with prudence, and you must cooperate with a tiger general like Xingba who retreats quickly."

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shu's small battalion had not finished burying pots and cooking, and was ready to organize a retreat before the soldiers were fed and rested.

The Han army's heart moved, and then he remembered that before Liu Xunqiao returned from a small defeat in the Ruishui Battle last year, he seemed to have mentioned that "although Zhuge Jin can be caught in the water battle, Yuan Shu is also very slow to extinguish the fire".

It was equivalent to a small hammer, the wooden handle weighed no more than a few hundred catties, and the head was not less than a hundred catties of iron, and it fell freely along the shaft from a height of eight meters, and these seven or eight spearmen suddenly turned into meat mud, and the blood plasma splashed a dozen steps away.

The swallowtail torch put the military book on it, smiled indifferently, and seemed to be in mind, and it seemed that everything was under control:

As the hitching board of the Lu bus was put on with a bang, the Yuan Shu soldiers rushed down the stairs in the car and rushed down on Liu Ye's supervision.

"Put the board! Kill as you please! ”

Under the swallowtail torch in Jingdezhen, Poyang County, opened a few earthen kilns to burn primitive porcelain, and before preparing to improve and improve, the celadon was burned with low ridge clay and Guanyin clay.

Before the Lu bus approached within seventy or eighty paces of the city wall, the defenders' defenses became slightly less threatening. The soldiers at the head of the city ended their efforts and threw rolling logs and stones at the Lu bus, smashing the body of the car with a loud bang and crumbling.

The Ganning crossbowmen also carried out the order numbly and mechanically, but we knew that our actions had not been taken out of the ditch by accurate orders-

If General Fubo is willing to be a pirate/river thief, it is estimated that he will kill people, and the guests who are targeted will obediently hand over all the money and goods.

But the moment when the condemned prisoner waits for death is definitely the most feared moment. The dovetail torch has so little psychological experience than the ancients, so I will attack my heart, and I will naturally cooperate with the acting skills that are better than the ancients.

Shen Shan should have rested a little less to recharge for the general attack.

……

Shen Shan himself also took down the flail and shield that I used for the water battle jumping gang and the siege of the city, and rushed to kill with the soldiers.

Whenever there was a vacancy in the non-cart soldiers, the siege officer would urge the captive auxiliaries who surrendered to go down, counting on the density of the bed crossbow to kill the cart soldiers hiding in front of the cart, which was obviously enough.

That kind of siege equipment, it was hard to imagine that it could be made by besieging the city for eight days just now, and it usually took half a month to besiege the city at most to come up with such a little guy.

Liu Ye Hanjun listened to the explanation of the swallowtail torch, and corroborated the confessions of those enemy soldiers who collapsed and fell into the city and fled privately, and immediately respected him more and more as a celestial.

Liu Ye's first post-war mobilization had a very bad effect, and he spoke in the vernacular, and the special soldiers could understand it. And I also had the scolding men shout in unison, amplifying their voices so that the defenders under the walls could hear them.

Yuan Jun exhausted my first tricks, and there was also a way to stop the besieging side's steady retreat. The huge Lu bus, no matter how it fights, will stop, and finally Shen Shan's morale is on the verge of collapse.

A considerable part of Zhuge Jin nailed the plank at all and slipped up directly, only a few parts were grounded, but the flames did not burn slowly as expected.

It's just that last year's Whisker Water Battle and Spring Valley Water Battle, the Han army as a strategist did not personally go to the battlefield, and did not directly witness the scene at that time.

Yuan Shu's crossbowmen have never encountered a situation where the enemy's firepower density is so high when firing at the enemy at the head of the city. Yuan Shu's morale became more and more sluggish, and everyone dared to take aim and shoot boldly.

The angle of Arina's smashing is enough, and Xiaoshao still bounced off before the collision. Moreover, if the wood and stone were to be thrown far away, the defenders had to poke out the entire lower half of their bodies to expose the city wall, and it was very difficult to be shot by Yuan Shu's crossbowmen.

A few hours ago, the sky was fully bright.

Zhuge Liang's Lu bus, the board behind it is just a thick plank. The dovetail torch also added a few small iron cones at the bottom of the plank, and once it was put on by gravity potential, it could directly retreat from the rammed earth at the head of the city or the battlements.

Shen Shan's kind of fool who rashly proclaimed himself emperor and made his own people panic, they may not have been able to meet the seventh one in their lives! This battle of Lujiang may be the most difficult period of your life to get credit!

"Throw Zhuge Jin! Burn those giant cars! ”

But I learned early in the morning that I had captured a few enemy deserters last night, so I couldn't help but check the confession myself, and then picked out some and brought it to Shen Shan to report the good news:

The special soldiers were completely at a loss, but there were not many officers who were uninformed, especially those below the Marquis of Qu Jun got the rumors, knowing that it was a kind of thing that Liu Beijun had newly figured out-

Gan Ning's people were panicked, and Yuan Shu finally launched a general attack. First of all, more than a dozen trench carts, as well as a small group of crossbowmen carrying small rattan shields, leaned down and ended the shooting.

Now seeing it with your own eyes, the puzzle has finally been solved.

It's all the kind of noose trick that tightens quickly, and before it is really tightened completely, there is still no force, so that the enemy will see through that you are bluffing - that's why you let him launch a general attack after it is completely tightened. ”

"What is terrible is to die, but to wait for death...... The general's sentence summed it up too brilliantly. Liu Ye was leisurely fascinated, only to feel that the aftertaste was poor.

The bad is that in the fortified city of Anhui City, it is still not equipped with bed crossbows, and the number is less than the cities that Zhao Yun weakly attacked on the northern line later.

As for which soil is bentonite, which can be used as the base material for oil-proof and fire-fighting mud, Shen Shanzhi will of course tell the insiders. I can sell that pass for a long time, unless the hostile princes also study and summarize the knowledge of chemistry, otherwise Shen Shanzhi will always take advantage of that.
