Chapter 343 This time, Zhou Yu is afraid he will be defeated by Zi Jing

Shouchun city.

Zhou Yu waved the feather fan in his hand forward and said aloud: "Start counterattack!"

The messenger standing behind Zhou Yu quickly raised a flag and waved it twice. At the corner forts on both sides of the enemy building, the leader Wu General Qianran drew his sword and raised it over the top, shouting to the sky: "Shoot!"

"chug!"

Two giant crossbow arrows shot out like lightning from the crossbow bed, and a cold light flashed into the side wall of the Liang army siege car. The arrow clusters with barbs were straight through the wooden walls several inches thick. At the command of the Wu general, the Wu army soldiers on the horn fort quickly twisted the winch wheel, and the ropes tied to the crossbow arrows were quickly tightened. Amid the creaking sound of the winch wheel, the towering siege car quickly began to tilt.

The two Liang army infantry who had just stepped onto the suspension bridge slipped under their feet, fell from the bridge deck, rolling and falling into the moat, and never floated up again, only two red blood moistened the water surface.

Liang Army rear formation.

"What's going on? The siege car seems to be falling?"

Ma Yue stood up suddenly from the seat and looked forward in disbelief.

Under Shouchun City.

"Gagaha...boom!"

When the towering siege car tilted to a certain oblique angle, it finally lost its center of gravity and fell down. The Liang army infantry crowded under the siege car rushed to avoid it. However, many people were still crushed by the falling siege car, with broken bones and broken bones, and died of death! In less than a meal, twenty siege car had been pulled down by the Wu army, and the remaining three siege cars had been severely tilted and could be stolen at any time.

In the back of the Liang army, Ma Yue's face twitched violently twice, and shouted from the gap of his teeth: "Send the order... to withdraw the troops!"

“Woooooooooooo…”

With the order from Ma Yue, the desolate and distant sound of cow horns sounded in the rear of the Liang army. Hearing the sound of horns, the Liang army infantry crowded under Shouchun City quickly turned around and retreated. In less than a moment, they retreated from Shouchun City. The originally noisy battlefield was now full of chaos, with only the wreckage of twenty siege cars and the bodies of hundreds of dead soldiers left.

"roar……"

"roar……"

"roar……"

Seeing the Liang army retreat, the Wu army soldiers at the Shouchun city were ecstatic and raised their weapons to celebrate.

Upstairs of the enemy, Lu Meng and Lu Xun said to Zhou Yu: "Grandmaster, Liang army has withdrawn, haha!"

"Yeah." Zhou Yu nodded happily and said loudly, "I have said a long time ago that the butcher Ma came to attack Shouchun and was just sent to death."

It's night.

North of Shouchun City, Liang Army Camp.

"I wanted to kill Wu Jun and caught him off guard, but I didn't want to succeed." Ma Yue sighed to the sky, "It's worthy of being Zhou Yu, he actually broke the mysterious plan of the siege car so easily, alas."

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded and sighed, "What is particularly incredible is that Zhou Yu can find the weakness of the siege car in such a short time. This person's ability to understand the subtleties and adaptability is indeed first-class! Xu thought that perhaps only the lord and Cao Cao, the traitor, could be compared with Zhou Yu in the world!"

"Wenhe is too famous." Ma Yue sighed, "Zhou Yu is ashamed of using military force, I am afraid that Cao Cao should be a little inferior."

"Zi Jing." Ma Yue suddenly turned his gaze to Lu Su and asked, "You and Zhou Yu were close friends. In your opinion, Zhou Yu has weaknesses?"

Lu Su replied without hesitation: "There is no shortcoming."

"No shortcomings?" Ma Yue frowned, "then it will be troublesome!"

Kuai Yue suddenly stepped out of the line and said to Ma Yue: "Since the strong attack is difficult to work, why don't the Prime Minister take a surprise attack?"

"A surprise attack?" Ma Yue asked, "Are you ready to go?"

Kuai Yue said: "They have carefully observed the nearby terrain and found that Shouchun is in a low terrain, with two hundred miles around it. Even the Huai River that passes through the city, its level is slightly higher than the ground. The Prime Minister only needs to condemn a army to build a dike in the upper reaches of the Huai River. After the water level rises, the dike will be broken and released. In this way, the troops will not be blood-blocked to Shouchun."

"Good plan!" Li Su said, "Water flooded Shouchun? Duan's good plan."

"No." Ma Yue shook his head and said, "If the city is destroyed by flooding, the city will be destroyed by hundreds of miles in Shouchun, or even the entire Huainan, will become a country with hundreds of hectares of fertile land. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land will not be harvested. Wouldn't Huainan County, known as the beautiful land of fertile land, be hungry and killed all over the fields? Don't forget that in Huainan County, there are more than 3 million people in Xuzhou who forced to move to the current Huainan County, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, are busy migrating to farm!"

Kuai Yue said: "Prime Minister..."

"This is a big mistake." Ma Yue suddenly raised his hand and said decisively, "I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. How could I sacrifice more than four million innocent people for a mere Shouchun City?"

Kuai Yue said: "Lord, a real man should do something and not do anything, and he should continue to suffer from the chaos."

Ma Yue said: "I have decided my will, there is no need to say much about the different degrees!"

"well."

Kuai Yue sighed lightly and turned around to join the line, but there was not much disappointment on his face. Although Ma Yue was notorious and killed people like a slap, at least he was still sympathetic to the people. The Han Dynasty could have such a prime minister, which was a blessing for all the people in the world.

"The Prime Minister is wise." Lu Su suddenly flashed out of the line, bowed respectfully to Ma Yue three times, and said loudly, "Su Jing thanked the Prime Minister for not killing him on behalf of the millions of people in Huainan."

"Forget it." Ma Yue shook his hand and said, "Zi Jing doesn't have to do this."

Lu Su said: "Prime Minister, Su has a stupid way, or can defeat Shouchun."

"Oh?" Ma Yue said happily, "Zijing, come on."

Lu Su said: "The Prime Minister can order the soldiers to carry earth and build a platform outside Shouchun City. The height should be several feet above the Shouchun City Wall. Then, archers gather on the high platform to shoot arrows in the Shouchun City from a high place. Then, the soldiers will carry earth and continue to fill the platform. When the high platform continues to extend forward until the top of Shouchun City is filled, it is also the time when our army conquers Shouchun!"

"Good plan." Kuai Yue praised, "Although Zhou Yu is very powerful in using troops, he will not be able to solve this earth filling technique."

"Oh?" Ma Yue exchanged a look with Jia Xu and said happily, "This is a good idea."

Li Su said: "It is indeed a way to fill the city with the burden of land, but is there enough time?"

Lu Su said: "We can make a rough estimate. If the top width of this high platform is 30 zhang and the base width is 50 zhang, the average width is 40 zhang (about 92 meters) and the height is 6 zhang. In addition, the high platform needs to be filled from the range of the Wu army archers to the head of Shouchun city, with a depth of at least one hundred zhang (about 231 meters). From this, we can conclude that a total of 24,000 cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic cubic c

"Thirty-six thousand million kilograms?" Kuai Yue continued, "If 100,000 soldiers were asked to carry the land to build a platform, the average soldier would need to carry 36,000 kilograms of soil!"

Lu Su said: "If you take soil nearby, each soldier can go back and forth at least ten times a day. Each trip is loaded with a hundred kilograms of soil, and a thousand kilograms of soil can be loaded a day. Therefore, after a rough conclusion, it will take about thirty-six days! Considering the harassment of the Wu army and the influence of various factors, the actual time may be longer. However, our army's strength is as high as 200,000, and there is a large amount of animal power. The carriage can be used, and the two will offset it, and the time should not exceed forty days."

Jia Xu couldn't help but praise: "I have a lot of research on the technique of taking soil and filling the city?"

"I dare not hide it from the military advisor." Lu Su said, "When I was young, I often studied the art of siege and defending the city with my friends. Lu was very proud of his qualifications, and only thought of this clumsy art of breaking the city, so I studied it briefly."

"The friend Zijing must be Zhou Yu?" Ma Yue laughed loudly, "As the saying goes, great tricks are like clumsiness. This time, Zhou Yu is probably defeated by Zijing! Hahaha, I want to see what can Zhou Yu come up with to solve Zijing's earth filling technique, hum!"

Ma Yue said this and shouted: "Kuai Yue, Lu Su obeys the order!"

Kuai Yue and Lu Su hurriedly stepped out and bowed: "But it is up to the Prime Minister to condemn him."

Ma Yue said: "From tomorrow, you will order the three armies to take the land and fill the city!"

"Receive the order."

Lu Su and Kuai Yue bowed again, and his expression was solemn.

Ma Yue said to Jia Xu again: "Wenhe, immediately order the troops to follow Zijing and do not make any mistakes."

Jia Xu bowed and replied, "Abide by the order."

Shouchun City, Wu Gong Mansion.

"Okay, great!" Sun Quan slapped the table and shouted, "The Liang army attacked Shouchun for half a month and was unable to advance in a short time. Now the strange plan to attack the city is also broken by Gong Jin. The horse butcher skills are at this point, which is not enough to worry about. The only thing that I am thinking about is that Gao Shun's left side divisional army, but I don't know if the veteran General Huang Gai can block it south of Hefei?"

Zhou Yu's robe was fluttering with his robe and his feather fan was gently shaking, and Shi Ran said: "Lord, don't worry. Yu has made arrangements for Gao Shun's side troops. Old General Huang only needs to follow the plan and can stand invincible. Even if he cannot defeat Gao Shun's army, he is more than enough to hold on to Xiaoyaojin for several months."

Sun Quan said happily: "In this way, I can rest assured."

"Mr. Wu." As the two were talking, a small official stepped forward and reported, "The banquet is ready."

"Haha, OK." Sun Quan said to Zhou Yusu, "Please, please."

Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "Please, lord."

Hefei Beixiao, Xiaoyaojin.

Teams of small boats and rafts travel along the clean water, transporting wood and stone into the river continuously. Flags fluttered on the island in the middle of the river, murderous intent soared into the sky, and a magnificent water army camp appeared and appeared in the mist and rain.

Huang Gai, Huang Bing and his son stood solemnly by the Feishui River surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers.

Huang Bing asked Huang Gai in confusion: "Hefei's city is solid and enough to defend the enemy. Why did my father only leave light troops to defend the city and gather heavy troops in Xiaoyaojin?"

Huang Gai said: "I don't know anything about Bian'er, this is the plan of the Grand Commander."

Huang Bing said: "The Great Governor's plan?"

"No," Huang Gai nodded, pointed to the vast river of Feishui and said to Huangbing, "Look, this Feishui originated from the General Ridge, and was divided into two to Xiaoyaojin. It went north to Shouchun and entered the Huaihe River, and went south to more than a hundred miles into Chaohu Lake, almost separated Lujiang and Huainan. Our army defended Xiaoyaojin, which was equivalent to shaking the throat of Gaoshun's army going north to Shouchun!"

Huang Bing said: "So that's it."

Huang Gai said: "And Xiaoyaojin is only a few miles apart from Hefei. If the Liang army attacks Hefei, the defenders of the Xiaoyaojin Water Army Dazhai can support them at any time from the water route. If the Liang army attacks Xiaoyaojin, hehe..."

Huang Bing nodded and said, "The Liang army has no naval army, and it is no different to cross the river to attack Xiaoyaojin by himself."

The next morning, Zhou Yu's tent was in full swing.

Zhou Yu was dancing a sword in the open space in front of the tent, and suddenly saw Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Xu Shu, Tai Shi Ci and others coming together. Xu Shu waved and said, "Grandmaster, it's not good."

Zhou Yu closed his sword and adjusted his breathing, and asked calmly: "Yuanzhi, what's the matter?"

Xu Shu said: "The Liang army is moving again!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu said, "What's the movement?"

Xu Shu said: "I can't explain it clearly in the next half time. The Grand Governor should go to the city wall to take a look."

"Well." Zhou Yu's eyes flashed and he said loudly, "Okay, you can follow my governor to visit the city. I want to see what tricks Ma Butcher came up with?"

After saying that, Zhou Yu handed the sword to his personal soldiers, and then put it neatly with the help of his attendants. Then he hurriedly climbed to the north gate with Xu Shu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others, stood on the enemy's building and looked out. He saw that dozens of large and small earth pits had been dug out by the Liang army on the originally empty city clearing space.

Taishici said in confusion: "I really don't understand what the horse butcher is going to do. Is it just digging the tunnel?"
