Five days passed by in the blink of an eye. Chen Xi had already received the information from Jingzhou. He sighed. This bastard Yuan Shu is so confident sometimes. He was beaten so hard in the back that he could still continue so calmly.
Going south, this kind of psychological quality is not something that ordinary people can possess.
However, if Chen Xi looks at it from the perspective of a pure bystander, there is no problem with Yuan Shu's choice, because whether it is Pingyu besieged by Chen Xi, Qiaojun besieged by Liu Bei, or Chen Guo besieged by Guan Yu, they cannot be captured in a short time.
, On the contrary, once Jiangling City is captured and comes back with a great victory, all the people like Liu Xuande will be beaten into small pieces.
Of course, Chen Xi knew better that Yuan Shu's way of thinking was definitely not what he thought. It was purely because the temptation of Jiangling City in front of him was too great, and he selectively forgot the troubles of Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but it has to be said that sometimes some animalistic
It is really frustrating that intuition can destroy the strategy.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Hua Xiong bowed and asked. Speaking of which, Hua Xiong actually led Chen Xi as a guard, although basically Chen Xi had never commanded this guy.
"Let's fight and put some pressure on them." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Since Yuan Gongli is ignorant, let's give him some color and let Yu Jin build a mountain of earth to see the situation first, as well as those who will accompany the army.
Invite ten craftsmen over, and Ziyang will get a few catapults to put some pressure on them."
Yu Jin took Xu Yi and Wu Dun to do the construction work, but Chen Xi arrived quickly, and Qiao Rui had not had time to cut down all the trees for several miles near Pingyu, so he left Pingyu City one mile away.
It's too simple to pile up a mountain of dirt without thinking a hundred and fifty meters away.
In just two days, 7,000 people mindlessly piled up a 100-meter-long earth slope using huge logs, soil blocks, stones, garbage and other various things. Sure enough, with more people, this kind of physical work can still be done.
What's more important is that Qiao Rui just watched Chen Xi doing the soil slope and didn't stop it at all. Seeing this situation, Chen Xi could only say, IQ, isn't the point of war just to make the other party want to do something?
I can't do it. But now that I see the other person playing happily, I don't go up to show him something, and he is still watching the fun. Isn't this asking for death?
In two days, the dozens of craftsmen under me built six catapults, but these things are just scary. If you want to use this to attack a city, and also attack a city wall made of pure stone about six feet thick in this world, don't do it.
It's a joke to talk about these shoddy things, even if it's a backlash.
By the way, trebuchets hit the city wall. And it is rare in history to collapse the city wall. And it takes many years, and it takes a long time, and the trebuchets needed are basically hundreds of years later.
It's something. To be precise, don't even think about the period before 1417 in the Middle Ages.
"Can this thing be used?" Chen Xi looked at a wedge on the left and an insert on the right. As for the legendary running wheels, there were no wheels at all.
"Don't worry, military advisor, we have tested this thing before and it can be used. A boulder of 500 kilograms can be thrown 150 meters." Wu Dun, who was in charge of the craftsman, slapped his chest loudly.
Chen Xi looked at these six gadgets with a suspicious expression, [The sizes of each part are different. Are you trying to force me to specify the accuracy and create an assembly line to exploit you? 】
"Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore, let's try throwing one. If you're sorry for these century-old trees, huh huh huh." Chen Xi waved his hand to indicate that Wu Dun didn't need to explain, just go up to the stone.
"Brothers, get ready to climb the rocks!" Wu Dun turned around and shouted.
I saw a group of people working hard to fix the big arm of the trebuchet, and then Wu Dun held a small millstone and threw it into the basket on the side of the big arm.
"Commander, please step aside a little!" Wu Dun did two chest-expanding exercises, "This thing is a bit dangerous!"
Then dozens of soldiers with inner strength let go together, and with a sound of "puu", the big arm of the catapult swung out the stone bullets and then hit the earth slope hard. The mountains of earth piled up in the past two days were smashed by this
A group of people stepped around under the scorching sun and ground them into dust. Their whole arms were smashed down. Chen Xi reacted very quickly and fanned. The dust flew up, and all the people on the opposite side turned into terracotta warriors and horses.
But at this time, everyone's attention was on the stone bullet, so they didn't care about the dust. They saw the whole stone bullet fly out at an extremely fast speed, then crossed the city wall and landed in the city.
Inside, the entire house collapsed, and the rocks that popped out also knocked down the back wall.
"Ahem, cough, cough, this is a bit wrong, try again." Wu Dun said with some embarrassment. It was so embarrassing that he actually flew over the city wall. It seemed because the slope was a bit high.
After Wu Dun threw five rounds in a row, one finally hit the person. The scene was really terrible. The whole person was hit by a stone bullet of hundreds of kilograms in the front, and was directly beaten into minced meat. Then the stone carried the ball of minced meat.
The two people behind were hit in the upper body...
Chen Xi turned around and walked away. He really couldn't bear that kind of scene, especially since this body was so smart and his powerful dynamic vision could almost see clearly how the whole person was crushed into a ball bit by bit...
"Strategist, Strategist, there is indeed something wrong with this hit rate..." Seeing Chen Xi turn away, Wu Dun thought that his performance was really dissatisfying to Chen Xi and hurriedly explained, lest this person would put on his shoes.
"Build a few more, don't ask for hit rate, just smash them casually. I didn't think of relying on these things to attack the city. They were just used to disgust the people on the other side. You and Meng Kang (Xu Ding) sent troops to station under the slope, and we will attack again in two days.
Build an earthen slope in front and use bows and arrows to suppress Pingyu's archers on the city wall." Chen Xi waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not have to do this, and in order to reassure Wu Dun, he also ordered a few more to be built.
"Here!" Wu Dun bowed his hands in a salute. As long as Chen Xi continued to give in, it would be fine. If he turned around and left without saying anything, Wu Dun felt that he needed to think about it.
After getting off the slope, Chen Xi turned back to look for Hua Xiong. Don't think about attacking Pingyu City. Twenty thousand people would not be enough to fill this place. Even if the trebuchets and condescending archers would lower the opponent's morale, as long as the bridge is
If Rui doesn't leave the city, there's nothing you can do.
"Zijian, how many tomb robbers have you found?" Chen Xi asked after finding Hua Xiong. The other methods were a bit slow, but now the more reliable method is to dig tunnels. After all, there are still three years left in the history.
The first tunnel siege kicked off with the offensive and defensive battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan at Yijing!
Nowadays, almost no one will guard against underground passages. Chen Xi estimated that there are currently over 180 professionals, and it would only take a month to dig a tunnel that is between 100 meters and less than 200 meters long.
Use it quickly when you are on guard. After you use it, Yuan Shao will no longer be able to trick Gongsun Zan with this move, and Gongsun will be able to hold on for a while longer. (To be continued...)
ps: No one is here. This is an automatic update from Dian Niang. If you have any questions, don’t ask me. There will be three updates long before you come back. If you come back late...
