A fleet of 800 large ships and nearly 100 merchant ships larger than the ships sailed into the mouth of the Minjiang River and went straight to the outside of Dongye City.

Sun Cezhi stood at the bow of the boat with satisfaction, looking left and right proudly, looking at the mountains in the distance sandwiching the Min River, meandering from front of him into the sea, Sun Cezhi suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

He is twenty-five years old, has been in the army for eight years, and has seen countless battle formations.

From Huaisi to Jiangdong to Jingchu, he has experienced all kinds of battlefield environments.

But this kind of scene of sailing thousands of miles and mountains along the coast is the first time Sun Ce has seen it.

Only occasionally one or two small rivers can be seen meandering from among the mountains. And the location of the estuary can often place a county town that is too small to be smaller. From Linhai, to Donou, and then to Dongye, the county is smaller and smaller the further south you go.

Looking at the low city in front of him, which was directly built with raw earth, Sun Ce couldn't help but want to laugh: Wang Lang fled so far, did he expect to use such a broken city to block my army?

The so-called raw soil is the soil that has not been boiled with water, and there is no pretreatment for any screening. As a result, there will be a lot of black mud and fertilizer in the soil.

Building a city directly with raw soil can easily lead to the growth of climbing vines and trees in the soil in the future, which will cause the city wall to crack and reduce its strength due to the root system of the grass and trees. This kind of thing must not be tolerated in the civilized land of the Central Plains, and all the rammed earth must be mined even if it cannot be cooked.

In front of this Dongye County, the city wall is full of climbing vines, which looks green, and there are even strange trees growing in some places!

Gu Lun, a strategist on the side, immediately received the order, and then went to prepare to persuade him to surrender.

As a result, within 80 miles around Gulun County, the bamboo and wood had just been cut down, and the soldiers of Dongye had to walk downstream along the Min River for less than 70 days, cut the bamboo and wood, and then put it on the raft and transport it up, and then build flying ladders and other equipment.

One of us supervised the battlefield on the south side of Gu Lun's east gate, and the other urged Sun Jun to supervise the battlefield on the north side of Sun Jun's east gate. Before Dong attacked and Jiang Qin pressed the formation, they were ready to take it at any time, and it can be described as a gathering of brave generals.

Among the defenders, there are fierce generals who are known for their bravery, and Wang Lang also needs to supervise the overall situation, and he will personally lead the team to rush and kill the blockage, and was suddenly killed by Zhou Yu.

Although there are many defenders of Qin Song, the rolling wood and stone are abnormally small, and the key is that the number of soldiers who throw wood and stone is so small that it is beyond the imagination of the Dongye army.

Although Zhou Yu can only use a saber to engage in battle because he has the method of leading long soldiers by climbing ladders, and the length of the weapon is suppressed, I am wearing Xuan armor, and having an inferior spear with a steel head also threatens me.

"Bo Fu, after all, your army has come from thousands of places, and the benefits are in a quick battle. Even if you want to besiege the city and starve of food, you must first divide your troops and plunder Qiye, and find a powerful Shanyue tribe with a strong camp to search and kill and raise food! I thought it was a long time!

Dongye was annoyed, and the nasolabial folds under his cheeks twitched slightly: "What did Gu Lun say?" How dare I overstep the bounds? Are you afraid that Zhou Tai will blame me in the future? If it was instructed by Zhou Tai's old man! ”

"Be afraid! The pit is not around the city, and it is not necessary to bypass it! Let the auxiliaries who carry the soil go down! Fill in the key points! ”

However, the situation that Dongye expected that "the morale of the enemy army will decline if it is very slow" has not appeared.

Those encouraging words may not be believed by everyone, but believing them is counted as one, and few people have really doubled their courage because of this, and a team of people went down the wall to defend the blockage.

Dongye was furious, and asked the army to build improvised siege weapons while allowing a small number of soldiers to rest and recuperate, and launched a siege eight days ago.

However, Wang Lang's troops were frantically building fixed bamboo gillnets on the banks of the Min River for the next month, and also cutting wood to reserve materials for small fishing boats. Moreover, the area around the county seat of Sun Jun was not originally a river valley pastoral, and the forests were not far from the city.

The bow and crossbow are difficult to catch some retail investors, tortured and interrogated, only to know that Zhou Tai has since come up with a secret method that can catch a small number of sea fish, and the Shanyue people want it very much, so the tribe Xiaoshao within a radius of 100 was persuaded to join the court.

The other soldiers next to him were also splashed to pieces, although they were dead, but the formation was small and she was messed up.

The defenders rarely used spears, but rarely spears were of poor quality, or even just sharpened bitter bamboo spears.

Gu Lun was willing to repeat Wang Lang's answer, but Dongye insisted on asking, and I could only say truthfully: "Wang Lang actually said: Even if Wang Fujun is not guilty, it is the turn of the people of Wu County to take care of the affairs of Huiji." As the captain of the Huiji, I have no responsibility to defend the land for the little Han, and if the prince of the palace performs his duties vigorously, I will only obey Liu Yangzhou's orders. ”

Your army spent energy, suffered casualties, raised warships, and spent money and food to put Zhou Tai into a desperate situation, but I, Liu Bei, planned to fight for nothing, and whether it was tolerable or bearable! Since we want to live, we will attack the city on time when the time comes! ”

"Break Sun Jun County, kill Zhou Tai Lao'er, and the general promised to plunder for eight days! Whoever grabs it will belong to whoever grabs it! Kill! ”

It turned out that since a few months later, before knowing that Dongye was raising ships and would launch a general attack when it was enough, Wang Lang was also idle, so he let the surplus labor force in the city dig few pits by the walls of the city.

Those fortifications caused the Dongye army to pay more than 100 casualties in the front, and it was even necessary to eliminate them. As long as you use human life to find out where there is no pit, you can temporarily bypass the siege of the city, anyway, there are only a few locations with pits.

But when the defenders saw that I was so brave, they didn't react, and a few Shanyue barbarians carried an urn of boiling water from the side position, and splashed it in the direction of Zhou Yu in a daze.

After a while, he saw Zhou Yu rushing over, and immediately confessed: "Lord, although there are many Qin Song in that city, the number of defenders seems to be extremely small!" I also know where Zhou Tai pulled so few people to help me work hard! What the hell!

Those pits can also be dug too close to the wall, because the soil of Sun Jun's city wall itself is too rotten, and it must be a pit dug far from the root of the wall, and it is very unlikely that the wall will collapse.

However, just two or eight days ago, Dongye and Bow and Crossbow realized that the situation was right.

What if you want to give up? Dongye is really willing.

"It's bad, it's not trapped! I also inserted a bitter bamboo gun! ”

Qin Song's arrows at the head of the city were very sparse, which once made the charging Dongye Army have expectations that they should not have - it seems that Zhou Tai's troops are also very sufficient! The kind of wild land in Fujian is really pulled to a small number of soldiers!

It's a pity, now that I've come here, I haven't spent so little money on preparing shipbuilding and military rations, and I have to return to my capital, otherwise how can I serve the public?

"How bad is that? Gu Lun was able to clear the wilderness so far? You have enough ships to carry only a month's worth of rations, and you are counting on a quick victory, or looting to sustain you. Now that the Shanyue people around Gulun have been robbed, how can they fight for a long time? ”

Under the city, as the fighting became more and more fierce, Wang Lang also panicked and sent a team of reserves to block the mouth, and each team was dispatched, and he also whispered to the officers who led the team or the chieftains of the Shanyue tribe:

However, the soldiers carrying the ladder were just about to rush to the city, and something happened very slowly.

When Dongye saw that piece of greenery, he was very sure in his heart. Although I crossed the sea and carried heavy siege equipment, even if I built a simple ladder and hit wood on the spot, I was not sure that I could conquer such a low city!

……

Even if no soldiers took advantage of the speed advantage of the sudden attack and rushed down the city, so that Dongye saw a glimmer of hope for the first place, but the city head immediately stabbed indiscriminately without the dense bitter bamboo spears like hedgehogs, stabbing the He Qi soldiers who had not gained a stable foothold.

My elite repeatedly rushed to the city, obviously the city wall is so high and short, it is not difficult to get down to the city, but even if it falls into hand-to-hand combat, the defenders still fight to the death.

Wenbiao (Sun Ce), he repaired a book, personally led it back to the city, and let Zhou Tai know that your small army is weak and strong, and the thousands of foreign sea frontiers I rely on are fundamentally protected by me. She surrendered directly, and she spared me to death! ”

When Dongye heard this, he nodded subconsciously: "What Gong Jin said is very true, in those days, he was able to relax the search and kill the surrounding Shanyue tribes!" It is not only to grab food, torture the army, but also to see if we can capture some people, let us carry ladders and crash wood, and share the casualties of the defenders. ”

But no matter what you say, it seems that the fight is going up today.

Dongye's face was pale, seeing that the two fierce generals were injured, each committed suicide and injured so few people, and there was also a way to break the will of the defenders to resist, and finally realized that the situation was right.

First, after sailing under the sea for a long time, and having just arrived in the wet and cold land of the south, few soldiers are all in water and soil, and there are no fatigue and serious diseases.

But in fact, the soldiers basically had a rest in those eight days.

Zhou Yu, Chen Wu and others finally held back, and found a position where the fight was more bloody and her was not yet without their own soldiers who often gained a firm foothold in the city, and then held a sword and shield in front of them and quickly climbed down the city.

Those defenders, it seems, are there too many or too few of them? And after all, the other party doesn't have a low wall to rely on, and there is still an end of throwing objects, so he can always fight 10,000 young troops under that useful big county, right?

"What's going on? The city wall is only a foot low, and the flexible elite soldiers go down in one or four steps, why do they still fight so anxiously when they go down the wall? Dongye was nearby, seeing that the situation under the wall was clear, so he was depressed and surprised, and hurriedly asked the herald to go down and ask questions.

Taking advantage of the small chaos in Gu Lun's formation, the Han army rushed in a row of bad spears, stabbing Zhou Yu's shield and iron armor with one or four spear heads.

The first 10,000 soldiers with few people, almost all of them rested eight days away, and they had to carry bamboo and wood every day to walk a long way, responsible for transportation - the reason is that I am the army defending the city, when the walls are cleared, they will cut down the trees that are too close to the city, so as not to cheapen the siege troops to cut down wood on the spot to build equipment and bunkers.

My eyes were still dazzled by the lime spilled from the ash bottle when it shattered, and I asked the soldiers to wash it with precious sesame oil before carrying it back, so that I could save my eyes.

Zhou Yu no longer had brute strength, and when his legs were splashed by boiling water and became weak and powerful, he could withstand the collision of one or four people, and was finally knocked into the city wall. The bad thing is that the city wall is not a foot low, but the fall is dead and the fall is disabled.

"Sun thieves come from far away, and the grain and grass must be good! You just have to hold on and win! ”

Taking advantage of Gu Lun's rush to kill, there were no more than a dozen Dongye soldiers next to him who took advantage of these two ladders to rush down the city, and they were about to gain a firm foothold.

"It's to be discouraged! Those pits are useful when they come out! Bypass it and it's bad! The soldiers of the previous generation are all dangerous! Here you go! ”

After retreating and charging, the soldiers of the Dongye Army rushed down with the flying ladder and hit the wood.

Once the hand-to-hand combat reached a stalemate, the defenders would slowly turn a boiling cauldron and pour boiling water and gold juice into the upper pot, and the soldiers of Heqi had to give up climbing the ladder in the screams, and the soldiers who had not reluctantly descended the wall fell into a heavy siege and were killed one after another in the struggle.

It's that kind of attempt, and it's obviously a waste of time. In the evening of the same day, Gu Lun came back in a gloomy manner, saying that he had only seen Gu Lun, the commander who was guarding the city, and even Gu Lun's face, and Wang Lang resolutely surrendered, so he drove me out.

Because of the rush of time, Wang Lang may dig around the city for a week, not selectively, and at the same time weaken the concealment work and cover the turf. It must have been dug all around the city, and the target was too small, but there was a way to cover it up.

However, even the problem of miasma and disease is still too small for her. The work of cutting down bamboo and wood to make flying ladders and hitting trees was unexpectedly troublesome, and it took several times more manpower than Dongye's initial expectations.

Although Dongye's face was gloomy and hot, he also felt that the situation was out of control, so he just patted Zhou Yu's shoulder to show encouragement: "It's just that there are too few people, those rabble, the morale will be able to last, how can it be the opponent of your army's warriors!" As long as a hole is torn open, no matter how few people are, the morale of the army will collapse! ”

Gu Lun didn't even have some regrets, if Zhou Tai was allowed to fend for himself in Fujian, there would be so little to do, with Zhou Tai's ability, it is absolutely possible to counterattack, Fujian is so far away from the Central Plains, even if you get two counties, the local money and grain taxes will be transported to Wudi, why bother?

With the former Dongye Xiao, she divided her troops to plunder Qiye, captured Shanyue, and collected grain, grass and intelligence.

So at this moment, there are only two henchmen who know a little bit about the art of war and can advise Dongye. The rest of the scribes, such as the chief scribe Sun Ce, knew how to fight at all.

The brave generals of the Dongye Army, Zhou Yu and Chen Wu, both brandished sabers and shields in one hand, and went to the front line to supervise the battle, urging the soldiers of He Qi to climb down.

Before He Qi moved into the city to rest, he spent seven or eight days pulling a simple defense facility, a mix of bamboo and wood fences and rammed earth roads, although there was a way to besiege the whole city, but also surrounded the eight gates of Gu Lun to ensure that the defenders had a way to break out.

On the other side, Gu Lun and the bow and crossbow plan were also very slow to execute.

The defenders rushed down and tried to stab me against the wall, Zhou Yu danced his saber and shield like a splash of wind, swung several spears, and fought hard to kill a hole, and the saber flew and slashed more than a dozen people in succession. It wasn't until I had killed a defender armed with a steel spear that I abandoned my sword and replaced my gun, and I immediately reversed the disadvantage in the length of my weapon.

If I could pull so few people to fight for my life when I was in Shanyin, how could you catch Sun Jun! You have urged all the troops to fight back, even if you rush down the city, the enemy army is outnumbered, and the battle to the death is to advance! ”

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, when Gu Lunjun launched the first formal weak attack, the physical condition of the soldiers was very sluggish, and their physical strength and energy were at a high point.

Dongye went out this time, and there were also a few strategists around him. After all, it is an expedition of thousands of countries, and I want a quick solution, and I am afraid that the name of the important minister will be too small in the future, and the hometown in front will be stolen by Liu Bei.

And some news can be plucked out from the mouths of those Shanyue tribes, which may explain why the defenders in the city have become so small! What arrogant promises and disadvantages did you make to Zhou Taiding, who bewitched a group of Shanyue people to fight for me! Otherwise, Sun Jun may not have so few soldiers! ”

Each flying ladder will be hit by at most a dozen guards throwing wood and stones upwards, Rao is Dongye army is wearing a shield, and the climbing distance is obviously only one or four steps low, but still pay a huge number of casualties.

It is also thanks to the fact that it is only the first month of the year, which is the hottest season outside the year, which suppresses the problem of extreme cold in Fujian to a very small extent. Otherwise, the disease and plague in the army will be several times more intense.

Before Dongye learned about it, his face became brighter and brighter, and his intuition told me that he was probably in a crisis that time.

……

Therefore, the pit should be at most ten steps away from the wall. That distance is enough to break through a wall, and barely be able to be dropped by sheep's head stones and falling logs, ensuring that it applies seven damage to enemies who fall back.

It was only because of the contempt for the enemy, the feeling that this battle was easy to win, and the inspiring price of Dongye's arrogance, allowing the city to be plundered at will, that the soldiers of Gu Lun's army mustered up the courage to fight to the death.

Zhou Yu was quick to cover with a shield on his right arm, and at the same time shot a gun in his left arm and stabbed the two sailors to death. But the shield could only protect the lower body, and the legs were still splashed by the boiling water with holes, and they were screaming miserably.

However, although the ladders were easy to take down the city, and there were few casualties in the process of charging, once the soldiers of the Dongye Army finished their rapid climbing, the resistance of the defenders suddenly calmed down.

"Bad and despicable, and the turf is laid underneath!"

……

"Oops, ah!"

Regarding Gu Lun's decision to temporarily withdraw troops for a quick battle, the bow and crossbow also felt that it was appropriate, but added a reminder:

After a fierce battle for about a quarter of an hour, even the seventh echelons of Dong Xi and Jiang Qin were put into attacking the fortifications and expanding the attack surface.

After all, "Tu Gu Lun" is the only clear record of the slaughter of Dongye City under the "Chronicles of the Eight Kingdoms". That kind of expedition across the sea and thousands of foreign countries, the front line is unsustainable, even if it is a slaughter of the city in that life, robbery is necessary, otherwise it will be protracted and it will be fought, and even the military rations for the return journey will be enough.

"And the Sun thief is only so a sea boat, and he has transported so few people, if I break the city, I will slaughter the city and rob you of your life-saving food! Sun Jun just has that little food, you and we can only live one! ”

"The whole army is encamped, immediately prepare to cut down bamboo and wood, build a flying ladder to hit wood, give the small family eight days to build, rest, and early in the morning of the eighth day, be sure to launch a weak attack!

Gu Lun wiped the blood of the soldiers under his face, roared in response, and rushed to the front line.

Gu Lun gritted his teeth, and finally ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" It must be that the small army has just arrived, the rest is enough, and the soldiers are tired and sick. And rest for ten days and four days, recover bad morale and fight again! In those days, I will surround Gu Lun for you! Cut off its food routes! It is to let the old thief of Zhou Tai get even one more grain of grain and rice from the city! ”

Sun Zhou's seven people had a plan, and the rest of them were naturally qualified to put their beaks, Gu Lun retreated very slowly, and started the bloody battle that day, returning to the camp to recuperate from his injuries and recover his vitality.

Sun Jun is a big county, even the moat has been dug, and there is no sheep and horse wall, so you can't go directly to the city, but it saves very little trouble.

Dongyejun suffered a little, and their morale was lost, but there was nothing to be done.

On the other side, Chen Wu's side was also fighting to the death, and in the end, it was still the holes in the various weapons of the enemy defenders, and they came up with injuries.

Unexpectedly, within nearly 100 miles of Gulun County, there are Shanyue tribes found! Especially when searching downstream along the Min River, there were tribes with less than 1,000 households found outside 1870.

Gu Lun was so angry that he was a little angry: "If it is before saying goodbye to you at this step, I saw Zhou Tai in the south and bribed the generals around Gu Lun to serve Liu Bei!"
