Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Yiling, the mouth of the gorge.

On the dirt hill, Liu Chan sat on the top chair, looking at the Han army fighting at the top of Yiling city, quite satisfied.

Since Liu Chan built an earthen platform in the northwest corner of the city, under the condescending view, the trebuchet accurately smashed into the city, and the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet destroyed the watchtower on the city wall.

For the watchtower, there is a tall building built on the horse-faced city wall.

Watchtowers are usually used to garrison soldiers and store weapons.During the war, the watchtower is often used to command, and the flags of different colors and combinations, coupled with the sound of drums, can quickly and accurately transmit information.

When fighting at the same time, you can take advantage of its protruding and tall buildings, prepare a large number of crossbowmen, and build a firepower net with the front and side of the city wall to snipe the siege soldiers.

Therefore, the destruction of the watchtower on the northwestern wall of Yiling gave the Han a convenient way to attack the city.After destroying the watchtower, Liu Chan ordered people to pile up a mountain of earth outside the city to make it as high as the city, and sent strong crossbowmen up the mountain to shoot at the Wu army inside the city.

With the threat of trebuchets and crossbows, Wu Jun did not dare to take the lead on the northwest city wall.And Liu Chan selected elite soldiers to raid the northwest city wall to see if he could successfully steal the chicken.

This morning, under the cover of trebuchets and crossbows, the initial stage of the battle went smoothly, and some pioneers climbed up the city wall.But after Bu Zhi discovered that the northwest tower was in danger, he quickly mobilized the Wu army to repel the Han army who had boarded the tower.

Although he fell short this morning, Liu Chan was not angry.After all, this is the first time that the Han Dynasty has been besieging the city for a long time, and there is hope of breaking the city.Therefore, after Liu Chan ordered his soldiers to try a few more times, he found that the defense force in the city was much weaker than before.So they continued to ask the soldiers to build siege equipment and prepare for the next siege.

"Order the soldiers to withdraw! Take care of the wounded." Liu Chan ordered.

"promise!"

Huang Quan looked at today's situation and said, "Your Majesty, according to today's situation, Yiling City can be broken in autumn."

Liu Chan tapped the scabbard lightly with his fingers, and said in a deep thought: "It's not impossible to break the city until autumn. I'm afraid that there are many soldiers in favor, and Ju Fu and Liao Hua have few soldiers. It's okay to stick to it for one or two months, but it's hard to stick to Jingbei." It may be difficult for a few months!"

These days, the war in Jingbei was also sent to Liu Chan through the mountain road in the north.

Although Xiahouba crossed the Fei River to attack Wancheng, thanks to Liu Yin's persistence and Liao Hua's rescue, Xiahouba's advance was stopped.As a result, the two armies fell into a confrontation, but Man Chong really had a large number of soldiers, and he took the initiative on the battlefield, holding back and fighting.

The battle situation is fine, but Liu Chan is afraid that Cao Wei will see the hope of victory, so he will continue to mobilize domestic soldiers to reinforce the front line.Originally, there were many Man Chong soldiers, and I was afraid that after being strengthened, Man Chong would defeat the steadfast generals such as Ju Fu, and thus regain Jingbei.

At that time, if the big man is still in a stalemate with Soochow, it will be disadvantageous for the war!
Huang Quan heard Liu Chan's worry, and said: "Your Majesty, Yiling City is so dangerous. Our army knows it, but how can Lu Xun not know it? Moreover, Deng Jiangzhou soldiers entered Wuling, harassed its Jingnan abdomen, and united with Wuxi and other barbarians. Counseling. I secretly think that Sun Quan is very anxious at this time, if he does not curb the troops in Dengjiang Prefecture, Wuling will be in danger!"

"And if we want to contain the troops in Dengjiang Province, we need to move a large army south. At that time, Jiangbei's defense will be empty, and our army or General Wei will take advantage of it. Therefore, although our army is in trouble in Jingbei, the danger of the Wu people is far greater than our army. And the people in the country still have spare power, so it is better to recruit the people in the country to use it as a defense." Huang Quan said.

Deng Zhi stationed troops in Fuling for a long time, and after waiting for Liu Chan's military order, he crossed the Wuling Mountains and entered Wuling County.When Deng Zhi entered Wuling, the barbarians who had connections with the Han Dynasty or had a gap with Soochow Wu raised troops to help each other and captured Qianling, Youyang and other counties.

The formation of Deng Zhi's department also depends on the group of Wuxi Man who moved to Badi.At the beginning, the Wuxi Man rebelled and entered Ba to ask the Han for help.Although Liu Chan thought of the Han-Wu alliance as the top priority, he was unwilling to sit idly by.So Deng Zhi was ordered to lead the army into Wuling, move the Youximan, Chenximan and other two barbarians, [-] people into Ba, and set up Wulong and Fengdu to allow the barbarians to live.

And these Wuxi barbarians became the backbone of this army. They were familiar with geography and had contacts with local barbarians.After the big Han crossed the mountains and entered Wuling County, they played an important role in contacting the barbarians for the big Han.

It can be said that Liu Chan brought a different change to the big man because of an arrangement in the early years.

Holding the hilt of his sword, Liu Chan agreed and said: "Your words, I also think so. Order the generals in Jingbei to continue to stand firm, and follow-up reinforcements are on the way. Let the people in the three counties of Hanzhong, Ankang, and Shangyong join the army Let them enter Jingzhou to guard the border, and strengthen the strength of Jufu and others."

Huang Quan cupped his hands in praise and said: "Your Majesty is wise. If you guard the north, you will have no worries about the south. The people of Wu are in a hurry and want to attack. But our army living in the north of the river is nothing but our army and General Wei's troops. Therefore, our troops can be organized. The army is waiting for the Wu people to attack. Perhaps the general Wei can be ordered to be careful to prevent Lu Xun from attacking."

Huang Quan has a keen sense of strategy. He first judged that the situation of the Wu people would be more severe than that of the big Han.It is believed that Deng Zhi harassed the Wu people in the west, and although Ma Zhong's situation in the south is not known, it must have attracted many Wu people's troops.

If Soochow wants to defeat Deng Zhi and Ma Zhong, it basically needs to send troops from the Yangtze River to rescue them.However, once the Yangtze River tribes mobilize their troops, the Dongwu Yangtze River defense line will be used by the big Han because of insufficient troops.

Moreover, Lu Xun, who stationed troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River, must also know the news that Yiling City is difficult to defend.

Under pressure from many sides, Huang Quan believed that the people of Wu would most likely be distraught and would be forced to send troops to resolve the current situation.And the direction that Soochow can send troops is either Wang Ping or Liu Chan's second army.Therefore, the second part needs to prepare the army for war right now, in order to wait for Lu Xun to make a move.

"You can follow what the Taiwei said." Liu Chan nodded and said, "However, I thought that Lu Xun might attack Zijun's troops, not my army."

After speaking, Liu Chan got up and went to the big tent, and analyzed: "Our department has a high fortification and a deep wall. The interior is surrounded and the exterior is protected by Lu Xun. It can't be broken without a rush by the army. Moreover, it is difficult for Lu Xun to use water and fire. In Lu Xun's hands As a pawn, An Neng will be the enemy of our army."

"Although Zijun's army has [-] soldiers, there are different soldiers under him. There are barbarians in the middle of the country, soldiers from the Wei Dynasty, and strong soldiers from the Han Dynasty. If Lu Xun knew the inside information of Zijun's army, it would be possible for him to go north. Hit Zijun. Zijun's troops were defeated, and they marched westward with all their strength, and with Wei people in the north, our army may be in a difficult position."

Although Liu Chan is immersed in the method of "strengthening the stronghold and fighting dumbly", it does not mean that he does not have his own thinking.Compared to his camp, which was like a military castle, and the [-] army under his command.Wang Ping, who has only [-] troops, and he has no strong camp, is undoubtedly a soft persimmon.

Are you fighting?If you can't gnaw hard bones, you will definitely try to pinch soft persimmons.

Huang Quan nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Liu Chan raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Send scouts to investigate the situation of Lu Xun's camp and find out how it is moving. Order Fu Xun, Yuan Hong, Huo Yi and other land and water soldiers to cheer up. Once Lu Xun sends troops to the north, our army will immediately attack the Wu army in Xiaoting, Jiangbei. Let's see if we can break through Xiaoting."

"promise!"

The silent Liao Li cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I will immediately order someone to inform General Wei, be careful of the sudden attack by Lu Xun's troops, and build a deep camp to prevent accidents."

"Can!"
