Chapter 1104 Are you still human!

"Dad, what are you doing outside?"

Li Duan, who was practicing Kung Fu, heard a thunderous sound coming from outside. He ran over and asked Li Yidao.

Li Yi picked him up, put him on his lap, and said: "Outside, there are firecrackers outside..."

"Firecrackers?" Li Duan's eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, I want to watch the firecrackers too!"

Li Yi didn't mind taking his child around and seeing the world when he was still young, but the scenes outside Cangzhou City now were so bloody and cruel that even if he saw it, let alone Li Duan, he would still be left with a wave of emotion.

The lingering shadow.

He touched Li Duan's head and said with a smile: "Go and see if you want. Let Grandpa Xu take you there. Remember to come back early. Your aunt will be back in a few days. She has been gone for so long. Duan'er must miss her very much."

Bar?"

Li Duan jumped down from his lap and said seriously: "Dad, I don't want to watch the firecrackers anymore. Duan'er is a man, and a man must practice kung fu well and wait until Xiaomu grows up to protect her. Don't let her go."

She was bullied, and I still have to protect Xiaorui, my mother, and many, many people... I can't let up."

"Dad, I'm going to practice."

Li Yi watched him walk back into the yard, get into a posture, punch and kick, and he already had a little momentum.

Although he has been everyone's treasure since he was a child, no one, including Ruyi, spoils him. Three-year-old Li Duan is more well-behaved and sensible than thirteen-year-old Yang Fu. Li Yi is deeply pleased.

He turned his head and looked outside. Explosions were still coming one after another. As long as the weather allowed, this thing was an indispensable weapon whether it was used to attack or defend the city. Unless the number of people was very different and they piled up with human lives, 20,000 people.

Against 10,000 people, if they do not meet a god-like commander, there is almost no possibility of victory.

Obviously, the enemy commander actually chose to spend half a day catching up and attacking the city immediately when there was no food and grass. The enemy commander was obviously not that clever.

On the city wall.

General Fan rubbed his hands and said: "Damn it, I have been fighting for twenty years, and I didn't know that the war could be fought like this. As long as I stood on the city wall and threw stones, the enemies would come up one after another to die.

Isn’t it just cutting leeks..."

Wei Liang looked below and saw that the enemy troops had retreated. He ordered the people around him: "Count the casualties and take a rest for now."

Although the soldiers did not leave the city, some were still injured by the enemy's arrows and stones. Of course, compared with the opponent's thousands of casualties, their losses were almost negligible.

Five miles away from Cangzhou City, more than 10,000 people who retreated temporarily camped.

The atmosphere in the camp was dull.

"General Pang, they are punished by Heaven from Jingguo. Can we win...what should we do?" A general just said, but he immediately changed his mind when he thought of the general who was sacrificed by General Pang for damaging morale.

General Pang thought for a while, then said with a sullen face: "Repair for half an hour and carry out the second attack!"

I thought that Cangzhou was still the same Cangzhou as before, with 20,000 troops, enough to easily break through the broken city wall of Cangzhou and march straight in.

Unexpectedly, the other party built the city wall so strong in such a short period of time, and also possessed Jingguo's divine weapon of punishment...

But they can't retreat.

They have no food and grass, and no way out. They can only advance, not retreat. There is still a glimmer of hope for advancement, but there is only a dead end for retreat.

The deputy general walked out of the camp and said loudly: "The whole army is ready for a second attack in half an hour!"

On top of the city wall, General Fan looked at the enemy troops that were gradually approaching here. He finished eating a steamed bun with meat in his hand and said loudly: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

After a moment, he looked at the enemy who was focused on attacking the city gate this time, with a sneer on his face, and waved his hand, "Throw it!"

Below, at the city gate.

Thunder exploded, and with every sound, someone fell down. Every time someone fell, someone stood up from behind and slammed a thick giant tree against the city gate, making a dull sound.

"Attack the city with all our strength, and if the gates are opened, we will win!"

There was a look of madness on their faces, and they struck again and again, and the city gate shook violently under their impact.

The person at the front showed excitement on his face and said loudly: "The city gate is about to be broken. Use harder, harder!"

boom!

boom!

Dozens of people hugged the huge tree and hit it against the city gate. The heavy city gate could not withstand the strong impact and made a creaking sound.

Finally, after a certain impact, the giant tree crashed directly through the city gate, and the two city gates fell apart.

Then they saw the city wall behind the city gate.

The person at the front rushed in excitedly and hit the thick city wall, hitting his head and bleeding.

He raised his head, touched the blood on his forehead, and looked at the city wall in front of him with empty eyes.

"Oh shit!"

It was as if all his strength had been drained from his body and he collapsed to the ground.

City gate, city gate, they actually built the city gate!

Who is the guard of Cangzhou? Who made the decision to build the city gate? Is he a pig?

For an army, the ability to attack is very important, very important!

Seal the city gate so that although the enemy can't get in, they can't get out either.

The enemy can pile earth to make a lookout, use the lookout to be higher than the city wall to suppress the archers on the city wall, and then dig through the city wall and break into the city...

The enemy can also bypass the city and attack directly at the rear, leaving only a small group of elite soldiers to monitor...

There is no stupider way to defend a city than to seal the city gates!

Although Cangzhou is already the northwestmost city in the Wu Kingdom and has no rear. Although their trip has only one purpose and cannot be circumvented, don't they plan to fight back if the city gate is sealed?

If the opponent doesn't fight back, they won't be able to attack. If they can't attack, what will they eat?

It's shameless to hide on the city wall and throw those horrible things, but now even the city gate is sealed, are they still human?

There was thunder outside, and just a few of them could not dig through the city wall. The leader shouted with tears in his eyes: "Retreat, retreat!"



On the city wall, looking at the enemy troops retreating for the second time, Wei Liang looked back at General Fan and asked: "Where did you learn so many tricks? They are so destructive!"

"A prize, a prize, a prize..." General Fan bowed his hands modestly and said: "It's all because of King Jing's good teaching. King Jing said that the other party has no food, can't fight in, and can't last a few days..."

Wei Liang nodded. As generals, he and Fan Qiao both knew that blocking the city gates was usually what the civil servants took for granted and was the stupidest thing to do.

However, King Jing let them know what it means to have no absolutes.

After Cangzhou is a place of chaos. The opponent's goal is only Cangzhou. It is impossible and will not go around it. If they want to kill Cangzhou through siege, their numbers are not enough. What's more, there are now mountains of food in Cangzhou City, which is enough to kill Cangzhou.

The other party has been there dozens or hundreds of times.

From beginning to end, all they had to do was stand on the city wall and throw the heavenly punishment.

They don't have to go out to confront each other head-on. In a few days, there will be 20,000 people outside... and now they are afraid that there will only be an army of just over 10,000 left, and they will be defeated without a fight.

Outside Cangzhou City, the army had withdrawn ten miles.

General Pang sat in the tent, his eyes bloodshot.

A general opened the camp tent, walked in, and said in a deep voice: "General, after two attacks on the city, our army suffered more than 6,000 casualties, and there are still more than 12,000 who are capable of fighting again..."

After he finished speaking, he looked up again and said with difficulty: "General, our food and grass have been used up..."

General Pang clenched his fist, then released it after a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Kill the horse!"

The general's expression changed, "General, killing the horse will relieve the temporary emergency, but our cavalry will be useless! If the enemy leaves the city, our combat power will be greatly damaged!"

"Haven't you seen it yet?" General Pang looked at him and asked, "They just want to kill us!"

"Go down with the order and surround Cangzhou!" He said in a gloomy voice: "After the grain and grass from the rear are shipped, we will send people to the various states to recruit. I want to see how long the food in their city is enough to feed them!"
