"Hui Qu Hui Wentong, this person is a native of Langxie and an old official of the Yuan family. Therefore, Yuan Shu once declared this person to be the governor of Yangzhou. Before Wu Jing and Sun Bi conquered Jiangdong, this person was the mediator. Dingdian novel, but this People have made some achievements in governance, but they are not the same as in military affairs. When the situation is going smoothly, they can be managed by doing nothing. However, once the situation is reversed, they will be caught off guard and become confused and have no plan. Because of this, Yuan Shu has now left him idle. He is just a minor official in charge of administrative documents in Yuan Shu's mansion."
"According to what Zhicai said, it is not unreasonable to say that this person is willing to secretly turn to our side, but after all, he is an old official of Yuan Shu, so how can he easily forget justice with personal grudges. Besides, he is just a small official now. How can you help our army?"
"Xian Xiao must not forget that he was also the governor of Yangzhou and commanded Sun's subordinates in the past. It is normal for him to have dozens and hundreds of confidants."
"But Jie still feels that this plan is too dangerous and may be taken advantage of by the enemy."
"Xiaoxian's worry is not unreasonable, but Dian believes that this is our best chance, and as long as what Huiqu said is true, now only Lejiu and Li Feng are in charge of the garrison of 10,000 men in Shouchun City, and half of them In order to force young men from the city, we can only hold on to the two city gates with all our strength. Even if the west gate is deceitful, we can attack the east and north gates with all our strength so that the head and tail cannot be connected, even if the enemy has many other things. As for the strategy, our army can attack it in one go!"
"What Mancheng said is very much in line with my wishes. This is indeed a God-given opportunity. If God does not take it, you will suffer the consequences! Send my order!"
Upon hearing Cao Cao's decision, everyone immediately stopped arguing and stood up.
"Instruct Xiahou Miaocai to lead five thousand troops and follow Yuan Shu south immediately. Just entangle the enemy, and be sure not to let them escape!"
"The last general takes command!"
"Order Zixiao to lead an army of 50,000 and conduct a feint attack in the north. If you find that the enemy's fighting spirit is not high, you can immediately change the feint attack to the main attack!"
"The last general takes command!"
“Mr.
"I know that I will definitely live up to Duke Cao's trust."
"Zi Lian stayed at the camp to be ambitious and filial to his ancestors, and to provide support to the people. He could flaunt his banners, build siege equipment, and confuse Li Feng and others in the city."
"We will live up to your master's trust!" x4.
"I myself lead five thousand elite soldiers, who are literate and powerful (Xia Houjie). Xu Bokang followed me and entered the city overnight. Li Mancheng and Man Boning led ten thousand people to the rear. Only when I give the signal will they be allowed to rush into the city!"
"My lord! Although this plan is brilliant, it is ultimately dangerous. My lord has a body worth thousands of gold, how can he be easily put in danger!"
This time the person who stood up was Man Chong, who was in charge of the rear. After listening to Man Chong's words, even Xi Zhicai, the planner of this strategy, had a look of hesitation on his face. It seemed that he did not agree with Cao Cao's children's shoes. risky move.
"It doesn't matter!" Comrade Cao Cao waved his hand, very much like the hero on the stage. "Li Feng, Lezu, are just two guinea pigs. Even Yuan Shu is just a chicken and a dog in my eyes. It is no longer worth mentioning, so what can I do? However, it is precisely because I am worried that the enemy will also use deceitful tactics that I need to personally take action. Although Mancheng is brave and good at fighting, he is ultimately weak in adapting to cunning strategies and cannot enter the city first. He is honest and smart. It is a pity that he has an impatient personality, otherwise I would have nothing to worry about today."
Cao Hong was not angry after hearing what Cao Cao said. After all, he knew his own affairs and knew his character best.
"Furthermore," Cao Cao suddenly stopped smiling. Instead, he was a bit solemn, "At this time, Shi Gong Liu and Li Wenda are still in the south. If Shouchun is not taken away and Yuan Shu is not destroyed, these two people will also be in danger, and so will the wonderful talents.
We are afraid that the enemy will take advantage of us. So tonight, all of you must work together to wipe out these shameless traitors for Your Majesty!"
"oh!"
When Xi Zhicai began to implement his strategy, the entire army led by Cao Cao withdrew backwards. Not only was the distance between the new station and the three gates in the northeast and west increased by more than thirty miles, although it was only half a day's work for the cavalry.
, but it also left enough space, and even more so, the south gate was completely left open, creating a posture of "surrounding three and missing one".
As expected, not long after Cao Cao set up the new camp, news came that Yuan Shu had taken his confidants Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and others out of the south gate and fled south.
An envoy was sent to express his willingness to surrender the city.
But as Cao Cao's counselors said, although Huiqu was once extremely prosperous, it is now just a relatively humble official in the city, responsible for handling some government orders and paperwork related to the orders, even though he can still gather around him.
There were some old troops and people who were dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, but they obviously could not compete with the remaining troops in numbers.
Therefore, Huiqu, who was very self-aware, said he was dedicating the city, but he was actually using his position to present the city's defense map to Cao Cao, informing him of the defensive loopholes in the west gate, and at the same time expressing his willingness to act as an internal agent to help Cao Cao's army open the west gate and then seize Shou.
Chunjian City.
But judging from this plan, it seems a bit crude, and it can even be said that Cao Cao's response method is somewhat crude - although Yuan Shu has indeed been suppressed to the brink of collapse, no one can be sure whether Yuan Shu will succeed in this situation.
He will do some crazy things, such as abandoning his self-esteem and really moving his car with Sun Ce, or something even more crazy.
However, neither Cao Cao nor the subordinates of Cao Cao's army thought that they would lose this battle.
Yes, now Yuan Shu only has Shouchun City left, which can be said to still belong to him 100%. The other counties and villages in Jiujiang County have either changed their banners or been infiltrated by Cao Cao's army, but because of some kind of
He could barely maintain his reputation as a minister of Yuan Shu because of the issue of face, and Cao Cao still needed to be encouraged for this kind of "loyalty" behavior.
Even if Yuan Shu still firmly controls Shouchun, the last stronghold that Yuan Shu managed to become a strong city in a short period of time, Cao Cao has still penetrated inside. Huiqu is not the first person in Shouchun City to attack Cao Cao.
Of course, those who express their willingness to surrender will not be the last ones. Facing Cao Cao, who holds the emperor's edict, and behind him is Yuan Shu, who is declining and becoming more and more manic. Anyone with a normal IQ can make the right choice.
Even Liu Bei, who sent troops with Cao Cao under the edict of Han Emperor Liu Xie, did not think that there would be other disturbances in this battle.
Perhaps these two heroes have set their sights on the land of Jiangdong in the south. Or perhaps in other directions.
Now Yuan Jiujiu is really no longer worthy of their taking a serious look.
So, that night, everyone left the camp quietly, with their titles in their titles and their horses' hooves bound.
Of course, they also had to bypass the various semi-finished siege equipment that was being manufactured. As soon as he received the news, Cao Hong had already begun to organize manpower. Although large siege equipment such as trebuchets and well railings would obviously take a day.
It's not quite enough, but it's not too troublesome for some simple car rushes or ladders, and it may be useful for the troops at the north gate and east gate after a while.
In this way, everyone took their soldiers and equipment. They took their positions and waited for the signal from the city.
The place where Cao Cao is now is about two miles away from the west gate of Shouchun City, which is about two and a half miles when converted to Han Dynasty - such a distance will not allow the soldiers patrolling the city to notice the movement below the city, nor will they notice the movement below the city.
This will allow some of the tinny sounds from the soldiers ambush below the city to be heard by the soldiers on top of the city. The most important thing is that this distance, in addition to good concealment, can accurately determine whether the lights coming from the top of the city are the agreed-upon signals or secret signals.
Just a torch in the hand of a patrolling soldier.
Everyone lurked in their proper positions, and no one made any unnecessary noise, showing extremely good qualities - except for a few privileged people. But obviously no one would interfere with these people's theft.
Whisper.
"Why do I always feel so frightened when I look at this city gate?"
"It's too late to say anything now. The only thing to do now is to follow the lord and take over this city."
"But Wen Lie, General Lu Fengxian once said that as a warrior, the most important thing is to trust your own intuition."
"So Weiguo, are you planning to desert before the battle? Don't worry. I won't tell others casually."
"So you will tell others 'not casually'? It has been done so many times. Your language trap cannot fool me!"
"Hey, you have become smarter."
"Master Li Shushizhou Mu once said: 'Even a fool will become wiser after being deceived many times.' Besides, I am not a fool yet. So the fool Wen Lie will never escape my eyes this time~"
"So let's talk about your plan to desert Weiguo."
"Well, I'm also very interested in this matter. Let me join your chat."
"Whatever, anyway, this chat is just for fun, but your voice should be lower, don't be seen by the lord, the lord's punishment is a small matter, if it delays the lord's important event, don't say I didn't remind you. And you
Don’t be like Wen Lie who casually goes around saying that I am a deserter or something like that, I just think it’s weird and uncomfortable.”
Although Cao Xiu kept winking at Xia Houjie, it wasn't just because it was dark that he didn't notice it, or he didn't notice it for other reasons. Anyway, he kept talking to himself for a long time, and he talked quite happily.
But as he said, the sound was very small and could only be heard by three or five people nearby. When it reached a distance, it basically dissipated in the night sky. Even if it was silent at night, it could only be heard two miles away.
You can never hear it from above the city gate.
It seems that chatting is all about chatting, and this guy is quite interested in business.
"Then what methods do you think the enemy will use if there is a deception ahead?"
The newly added voice seemed to obey Xia Houjie's teachings, and his voice also lowered a lot.
"Rather than playing tricks, I still prefer to charge with a spear, just like that Zhao Zilong or Uncle Cao Zixiao."
"Then if you are Captain Xiahou and you are the enemy, how will you harm our army?"
Another unfamiliar voice participated in the discussion, but the voice was also lowered and even slightly changed. It was hard to tell who the owner of the voice was for a moment. He was just chatting, wasn't he?
.
Of course, it is estimated that only Xia Houjie would think so. Didn't you see that Cao Xiu and Cao Wenlie beside him had rolled their eyes and said nothing?
"I...well, if you ask me that, I can't think of any good ideas at the moment. Well...if I were to do it, I would probably just ambush some soldiers and horses behind the city gate. I heard that Jinyang has another gate besides the city gate."
"Wengcheng", and it's a technology passed down from the Western Regions. It can make the attacking party unable to take the city even if it passes the city gate, and will only suffer a greater blow. But I haven't seen what it looks like, and I can't guess it.
What will it look like? We can’t build another small city behind the city gate.”
"Since Wei Guo can't think of a good way, I think there won't be any trouble in this battle. Maybe only Wei Wei will be in trouble."
"Wen Lie, are you cursing me to death? I still regard you as my best friend."
"Haha, don't worry Weiguo, I have always regarded you as my best friend."
"Wen Lie~!"
"So if you die in battle one day, I will definitely transport your body back home and take care of your wife on your behalf."
"Can I kill this 'best friend' of yours in advance?"
"Huh? There seems to be something moving at the city gate."
"Don't even think about changing the subject, Wen Lie."
"Shh... be quiet, you can see the city wall yourself."
So Xia Houjie was silent. After all, despite the trouble, Xia Houjie admired Cao Xiu very much. Now that Cao Xing had a straight face, Xia Houjie still needed to follow Cao Xiu's instructions to pay attention to the direction of the city.
.
If it was the other party's prank, it wouldn't be too late to come back and deal with him.
It's just that in such an occasion, Cao Xiu would not make such a joke easily. The flickering fire on the top of the city seemed normal at first, but according to the previously agreed code, it was telling Cao's army outside the city: "
If everything goes well, the city gate will be opened soon."
Cao Cao didn't waste any words. He gave the order and led his army forward. Just when the surprise army was about to reach the moat outside the city, with a creaking sound, the extremely solid west gate of Shouchun City slowly
fell, although the city gate
The world behind the cave looks pitch black, like a beast that chooses people to devour and opens its mouth, but it inadvertently proves that Shouchun City has already come to Cao Junchang's heart. The only thing Cao Jun has to do now is to charge hard.
Enter the city and have a good fight.
Of course, before rushing into the city, Cao Cao still had one thing in mind. That was to send someone to use a fire-grilled ax to cut off the two iron ropes used to open and close the city gate, so that the already opened city gate could no longer be opened.
Cannot be reunited during this battle.
After doing this, Cao Cao rushed in first. Xia Houjie followed closely beside Cao Cao with a spear. Cao Xiu and Xu Ding led their elite troops up the city wall, preparing to seize the city gate tower and surrounding walls in preparation for the entry of large forces.
.
Man Chong, who was the follow-up force, actually led a small force of several hundred people to the outside of the city gate, seemingly to guard the place.
Speaking of which, he had participated in the conversation between Xia Houjie and Cao Xiu just now, and he had a deep memory of Xia Houjie's words - this was certainly not because of the weight of Xia Houjie's words that made him pay special attention to them, but because he originally felt that
Today's battle was really a bit strange. Although in the final analysis it was Xi Zhicai who acted on Cao Cao's orders, but his expectation that everything would go smoothly still made him feel a chill from the bottom of his heart.
It was precisely because of this prerequisite that after listening to Xia Houjie's words, he immediately regarded this "silly, black and rough" person in his heart as a close friend to a certain extent and the most powerful evidence for his own ideas.
, naturally strengthened his determination to stay outside to prepare for unexpected events.
Anyway, Cao Cao had at least three to four thousand men gathered around him. In a street battle, there would be only a few hundred soldiers more than him, and there would be a lot less than a few hundred men less than him.
As for Li Dian, he was not as impatient as the counselor Man Chong. He still had time to hide in the shadows and observe the movements inside and outside the city. Anyway, Cao Cao's order to him was to wait for Cao Cao to send a signal when he rushed into the city.
He will lead his troops into the city. Now is the right time to study the situation and make a few plans in his mind to deal with various situations.
Although in Li Mancheng's opinion, the only two possibilities are that the trip goes smoothly, and the other is that Yuan Shujun has another ambush in the city.
But when he cast his sights into the city with such thoughts, a sudden loud noise frightened everyone inside and outside the city gate. But what was more terrifying than the sound was the sudden sound on the bridge that was both the city gate and the suspension bridge.
The fire was ignited, and the city gate was blocked by countless stones and rolling trees.
"No, I fell into a trap, my lord is in danger!"
"Mr. Man, get down!"
What Man Chong didn't expect even more was that just when he was surprised that the enemy army really had the courage to use tactics to plot against Cao Jun, a flying fireball streaked across the dim night and hit the bridge not far from Man Chong.
If the soldiers around Man Chong had not been quick-sighted and pushed Man Chong away, even if Man Chong would not have been killed by the attack of flying rocks from outside that day, the huge physical momentum would still be enough to knock him, who was just an ordinary civil servant, away.
His body turned into a puddle of meat paste.
"This, this is..."
As the third "Flying Fire Meteor" passed by, the bridge deck was completely transformed into a "sea of fire" that was difficult for ordinary people to pass through. The originally noisy city wall seemed to have fallen silent - of course, this only refers to the "Flying Fire Meteor"
"Meteor" will not wreak havoc for the time being, but the shouts of killing in the city are still loud.
However, perhaps because they were too surprised and shocked, Man Chong and Li Dian even forgot about their responsibilities and looked blankly at the night sky that had been rendered with an orange-red halo by the soaring fire, where there was once a "flying"
"Bolides" roared past one by one.
"Bingzhou Li Xue, is this the method of Bingzhou Li Xue!"
At this time, Li Dian could be said to be gnashing his teeth. I believe that if the Li Shushi in his mouth appeared in front of him, he would definitely be bitten to death with his teeth.
Although it cannot be said to be resounding throughout the universe, Li Shushi's golden cupping cannon is no longer a top secret. After all, as long as the forces that have fought against Li Shushi, or those who have cooperated with the Bingzhou Army, whether they are Xianbei people, Yuan Shu
The army is still Yuan Shaojun and Cao Caojun
, are very clear about Li Shushi's "special skill". Even if they don't know that the golden cupping cannon has become more and more ferocious with the joint efforts of an unscrupulous couple, they at least know the "flying fire" that constantly cuts through the night sky.
What kind of weapon is the "meteor" emitted by?
It is no exaggeration to say that the golden cupping cannon has truly become one of Li Shushi’s signatures.
Perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it the biggest sign.
But this time, of course, I misunderstood Li Shushi.
Although the golden cupping cannon is indeed a super benefit that Li Shushi got from the treasure illustration, according to the characteristics of the treasure illustration, there must be corresponding items left in the world, just like what Shining has is a prototype weapon, but Red A can only hold it
Even if the copy is the same
The replica held by Li Shushi is as powerful as the original. Even through research on the fired shells, the power of the golden cupping cannon even exceeds the original, which can only fire stone bullets or other liquid metal shells. This cannot be said.
The original product does not exist.
Judging from the current situation, the original golden cupping cannon is obviously collected in Yuan Shu's hands.
Or to be more precise, it was kept in the hands of the Yuan family in Runan.
The specific origin is now unknown. We only know that it is a very ancient artifact, but for various reasons it was collected in the hands of the Yuan family and could not see the light of day. However, there are vague written records so that future generations can still know about it.
There is such a treasure at home.
It can be said that if Li Shushi hadn't emerged and made the Golden Cup Cannon famous through battle after battle, neither Yuan Shao nor Yuan Shu would have taken this thing seriously - it was of no use to them anyway.
It's a pity that there is a little butterfly like Li Shushi in this world.
As a result, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two brothers who had never dealt with each other well, once again clashed over the golden cupping cannon.
In fact, as the leader of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei planned to divide the golden cupping cannon equally - yes, you read that right, this thing can indeed be divided equally, but the result of the split is that Yuan Shao gets the main body of the golden cupping cannon, while Yuan Shu gets the main body of the golden cupping cannon.
I got the accessory of the Golden Cup Cannon, which is called the Wind Wheel, a magical treasure that can increase the moving speed of the trebuchet.
Of course, you can tell from this distribution method that although Yuan Shu is a direct descendant, Yuan Wei obviously prefers Yuan Shao who was adopted to his second wife Yuan Cheng. Therefore, when Yuan Feng died and Yuan Wei took charge of the family business, Yuan Shao's life
In fact, it was better than Yuan Shu.
Such a distribution plan is naturally unlikely to satisfy Yuan Shu. In the case where many of the family's resources have been given to Yuan Shao by Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei's approach is indeed a bit chilling. After all, there is Yuan Yi over there.
Although Yuan Ji is more suitable for gradually climbing up the bureaucracy than fighting for world hegemony, he also needs the help of various resources.
As a result, after a lot of digging and digging, Yuan Shu succeeded in obtaining the complete original golden cupping cannon.
As for the price he paid for this, it was a private matter between him, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Wei.
But now, this "magic cannon" has played its due role at the most critical moment.
Seeing that the suspension bridge city gate began to deform and crack under the continuous smashing and burning, the faces of Cao Cao's generals became more and more anxious. (To be continued...)
