283 Catching Turtle in the Urn 1
After Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's army set off, Lu Ning asked Dian Wei and Yan Rou to reorganize the more than 30,000 people captured last night. More than 20,000 people met the requirements of Lu Ning's army. It is indeed good to be the cavalry trained by Gongsun Zan. However, the soldiers trained by the soldiers were not trained enough and were malnourished. Later, when the reorganized soldiers heard the treatment of the soldiers of Lu Ning's army, they immediately became more and more immensely devoted to training. After Zhao Yun came back, Lu Ning's soldiers had reached about 40,000, and Gongsun Zan's life was about to end.
During the battle between Lu Ning's army and Gongsun Zan's army, the battle at Huguan was also very fierce. Although Yuan Shao's army filled the Haogou in front of Huguan and attacked for several days, its casualties were very heavy. Yuan Shao's army lost more than 30,000 soldiers, but he did not even climb the Hu city wall. This also made Yuan Shao know that Huguan is now very yesterday's Huguan, and its defense ability has been significantly improved. There is no hope for just relying on hard attacks.
Yuan Shao called all his followers and generals to study together how to build Huguan. "Everyone said, how can we build Huguan? Although Huguan is steep, there should be a way to break it."
After hearing this, Guo Tu immediately said, "Lord, the crossbow on the Huguan is very powerful and has great lethality to our soldiers. Most of the soldiers who died in our army were killed by bow and arrow shooting teams on the city walls. Our soldiers do not have shield protection. We can make some wooden boards and leathers for our soldiers to protect the arrows. In this way, the casualties of our soldiers will be much less, which is beneficial to the protection of our soldiers."
Xu You said, "Lord, based on the words of the Lord, our army can make the wooden board bigger, and support it by a few soldiers, and the other soldiers can get under the wooden board. The defense area is larger, so the situation will be better. The soldiers can advance in groups, and this wooden board can also be used to protect it under the city wall."
Feng Ji was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Lord, we want to build more siege equipment such as cloud ladders. Can we also make the kind of stone-throwing thing with military and migrant workers? After a detailed observation over the past few days, I found that the thing is not very complicated. Although we cannot produce stone-throwing tools like Big Bear for the time being, we should still be able to make it a little rough. We can make it with heavy weight and throw stones onto the city wall. The blow to Huguan will be much greater. After all, the number of our army is more than ten times that of the soldiers guarding Huguan. We can also fight attrition with them. "
Yuan Shao was delighted after hearing this. If we could really make something that throws stones, it would be much easier for us to attack the city. "You said that our migrant workers can also make that kind of trick? I will arrange for the manpower to organize and create various ladders and objects that throw stones. Let Feng Ji take charge of it in detail. If you make it, I will try it again. If you don't, you will ask you."
When Feng Ji heard this, I was asking for trouble? I don’t know if it can be done, I just said casually. You are serious. Now you are digging a hole and burying yourself. Now you can only obey your orders. "It's the lord, I try my best to find a way to get the migrant workers done."
When Guo Tu heard this, you kid could also make the thing for throwing stones. He looked up at Feng Ji and saw that Feng Ji was helpless. He knew that Feng Ji was spitting out again. Now you have to bear it. Guo Tu immediately said: "Lord, after our army has completed the ladder and objects for throwing stones, our army should attack the city day and night, drag the defenders to the cross and drag them to exhaustion, then our army's opportunity will come. Our army can take turns to fight, but the soldiers guarding the city do not have that many troops, and they cannot reach the strength to take turns to fight."
After hearing this, Yan Liang opposed: "Lord, the Duke is wrong. Daxiong's city guards have at least 10,000 soldiers. Each time they participate in the battle, they only need 5,000 people to resist our attack, and the city guards can also take turns to rest. But I personally think that the main attack of our army should not be the city wall, but the city gate. Our army must at any cost to break the city gate open. Once the city gate is knocked open, our army's military strength advantage can be reflected. Although we have many soldiers now, we can only attack the city wall in detail. The casualties of attacking the city wall are too great. Even if our army occasionally attacks, because the city wall is too high, the subsequent troops will definitely not be able to follow. Those who attack will be killed by the city guards."
After hearing this, Xu You thought, yes, and immediately continued: "What the lord General Yan Liang said makes sense. We can use wooden boards, leather and other things to support the soldiers and carry the wooden to hit the city gate and hit the city gate. In this way, the soldiers who lift the wooden to hit the wood will have cover and can attack and hit the city gate at the same time."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt that the Tenth Duke made sense, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, he came up with a way to attack the city. If he couldn't attack again, the situation would not be very good. If he buried the 200,000 troops in Huguan, even if he was to capture Huguan, he would not have the ability to attack Shangdang, Jinyang and other cities. "Okay, this method is good. After the cloud ladder and the objects that threw stones were made, we will attack to see what other means could the Big Bear Army have to resist the pace of our army."
Although Guo Tu was robbed by Yan Liang for a while, his tactics still attacked with his own methods, so he no longer got angry. He immediately continued: "My lord, you must attack continuously when attacking the city gate. You cannot give the soldiers of the Big Bear Army time to repair the city gate. We must break open the city gate in one go. Huguan will be the lord, and then the large area of Bingzhou will be the lord." Yuan Shao was also in a good mood after hearing this, and laughed happily. The subordinates also laughed. Only Qu Yi did not laugh. He knew that this method was a temporary measure and would not have much effect. If he wanted to open the city gate, it would definitely cost him a serious price. It would be as simple as they thought. He originally wanted to speak out, but when he knew that once he said it, Yuan Shao would hold a grudge against him even more, and Yuan Shao would not listen to his objections. He simply said nothing and waited to see the joke.
A few days later, Yuan Shao's army made a large number of ladders and hit wood, and even a simple stone throwing cart was really made by Feng Ji. Although it was a little simpler, it could also throw stones, but the distance of throwing was not very far. If a small stone was thrown by the city wall, it could still throw it up. However, the catapult cart they produced could not be pushed to the city wall, and they had no chance. Yuan Lu was very happy when he saw the catapult cart made by Feng Ji and asked Feng Ji to give him a bounty of 200 taels, and asked him to study it carefully in the future to make it better and throw the distance a little further. Feng Ji laughed and never thought that those migrant workers were really good. He forced to make what he said, which made him not expect.
The attack began, and Yuan Shao's soldiers held up wooden boards in their hands and moved forward step by step. The crossbows in the hands of soldiers on the wall of Lu Ning's army were greatly reduced when shooting strong bows, which did have a good defensive effect on defending Lu Ning's army's bows. Yuan Shao looked behind, smiling on his face, which made him very happy.
When Gao Shun stood on the city wall, he saw Yuan Shao's soldiers' appearance, he sneered and said to the soldiers: "Use a crossbow bed, crossbow chariot, and catapult chariot to strike. The soldiers carried stones with their hands and smashed them under the city wall. Then prepare a little more tincture oil, and organize logistics support personnel to transport a large number of stones to the city wall immediately."
