During the five-day bloody battle, Li Boqian ran into a bloody head under Yongqiu City, and nearly half of his troops were killed or injured. Finally, he had no choice but to retreat to Xiangyi, accepted the fate of failure, and sent his confidant to the camp to apologize to Yuan Mulan and beg for additional soldiers.

However, the failure of the Battle of Yongqiu declared that the strategy of using partial troops to penetrate deep into the enemy's backbone was officially bankrupt, so there was only one way to put it in front of Yuan Mulan:

Attack Kuragaki!

Without the capture of Cangyuan, the main force of the Wei army could not go south to meet with Li Boqian's troops. After all, the food routes would be cut off by the Cangyuan army at any time, which is a taboo in military tactics.

What's more, there are still 100,000 stones of food and grass in Cangyuan City, which can solve the urgent needs of the Wei army.

This bait, even though it is poisonous, has to bite it!

After several days of preparation, Yuan Mulan led her army to Cangyuan. Although she did not drive away the people as a front-lift like Qu Rong, she also took over more than 100,000 local people as servants, taking on miscellaneous tasks such as pulling fibers, pushing carts, logging wood, driving mountains, carrying loads, saving a lot of manpower and horsepower.

Liu Shusun, the guard general of Cangyuan, was the third general of the Jingzhou army who had eliminated Dan Tai Douxing and Xue Xuanmo. He was highly valued by Tan Xiaozu, so after his recommendation, Xu You handed over the important task of Cangyuan to Liu Shusun.

When Liu Shusun learned that the main force of the Wei army besieged the city, he was not panicked and arranged in the middle, and was well organized. Unlike Ling Cao's pretentiousness, this person is really awesome!

A generation of pit kings will appear from today.

As the saying goes, over 10,000 people are spreading across the sky. Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wei army come from the north, with smoke and dust hundreds of miles, clamoring and shaking the earth, and its great reputation is called "the gods and ghosts". What's even more terrifying is that the array is orderly during the march, with no chaotic front and back lines, flags are like dark clouds, and agile horses are like dragons. The black robes show solemnity and killing intentions. From the vastness to the details, the army is full of prosperity, which all show the elite of the six towns.

The thousand-person cavalry team on both sides of the left and right wings suddenly divided into several strands, and suddenly merged into one place. The horse was like an arm and fingers, detecting movements and stills around at any time, eliminating any possibility of being sneak attacked.

When he arrived in front of the city, hundreds of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the queue, galloped like lightning, and rushed to the vicinity, and drew arrows and poured over the city like rain. Then, while the Chu army had no time to react, they rode their horses around the city, and shot all over the four cities repeatedly, with a clear view of the arrogance and courage.

The Chu army on the top of the city was shocked. Although there were shields and female walls covering them, seven or eight people were shot and fell to the ground, and their morale was greatly affected. Liu Shusun deliberately placed wine at the city gate tower, and the two boys played the piano behind them. Facing the dark clouds, they were calm and calm, raised their glasses and looked at the Wei army as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the Lord General was so calm, he passed by a brief panic and calmed down. Then the Wei army sent an envoy to the city to persuade the surrender, and offered conditions that were enough to make the Shiren moved, but Liu Shusun cut his head without saying a word and his body hung on the top of the city, showing his determination to fight to the death.

First polite and then troops. Since Liu Shusun's attitude was discovered, the Wei army also threw away their fantasies and seized the time to start preparing to attack the city.

Just now, the city was full of power and exploration. There were eight gates in Cangyuan. Putting aside the four water gates, there were four main gates, and the east gate river was crisscrossed, and seven or eight water systems were circling the city, which was not conducive to the army's development. The south gate was divided by two waters, separating the land into front and back faults. Although the other two gates also had the protection of moats, the plains were vast and conducive to attack, so the Wei army focused on the conquest of the North Gate and the West Gate.

Liu Shusun calculated the enemy's arrangements and arranged one thousand people at the north gate early, each of the west gate, eight hundred people at the south gate, and two hundred people at the east gate, with two thousand people as the reserve team.

But he also gathered more than 800 gangsters and young men in the city, put on military uniforms, held swords and guns, and erected many flags at the east gate, making them look like they were crowded and powerful.

This was Liu Shusun's caution, so as not to avoid the Wei army's head being dizzy to attack the East Gate, so they used the people to pretend to be their subordinates and bluffed.

Twenty beast-like strong men stood on the platform, holding bare-handedly drum sticks as thick as small trees, and with the shouts of the messengers, they used all their strength to hit the center of the nine-foot war drum.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

Thunder rang through the world, as if the human heart was beating with the sound of drums. Wei Jun felt the powerful impact of blood and energy. His face was red, and his mind was filled with endless fighting spirit. He seemed to be using endless energy. He wished he could immediately climb to the city and swallow the Chu army alive.

The drum sound is the command!

Countless flying stones came from the rear of the Wei army, and the airtight arrows followed the galloping and reciprocating horses, instantly covering the sky and the sun. The firepower was so strong that the Chu army could hardly raise its head, let alone counterattack and shoot back.

"No hurry! Wait!"

Liu Shusun was very calm. The Wei army was good at shooting, and the cavalry came and went like lightning. If they fought back at this time, they would probably not hit the target, which would cost only arrows and hurt morale.

Five towers about eight feet high stood, with two soldiers holding white and yellow flags on them, looking down from a high place to observe the movements of the defenders and sending feedback on the suppression of the Chu army in flags.

The central army issued an order, and five thousand infantry rushed over with the cloud ladder and the wooden mantle chariot, instantly advanced more than thirty steps. The cavalry of the first wave also shot empty the arrow bag and turned around. The cavalry of the second wave was accelerating. When the interlaced, the brief rain of arrows stopped. Liu Shusun keenly grabbed the gap and immediately ordered that more than a thousand troops began to emerge and shot back with strong crossbows and strong bows. However, most of the infantry hid behind the wooden mantle chariot, and the killing was not satisfactory.

At the same time, dozens of carts came out in sequence, with different fronts and backs and different speeds, which prevented them from being hit by the trencher on the top of the city with similar parameters. This cart is made of large wood as a perimeter frame, with four wheels underneath, and is covered with a roof like a roof. It can hold ten people in the cart. There are carts hidden inside, which can effectively avoid arrows and stones. It is one of the powerful tools for landfilling trenches and moats.

The Chu army's small catapult launched three cannons, adjusted the parameters according to the feedback from the landing point, and then shot again. This time, it successfully hit the seven-seat car, and the car was destroyed and the people were killed. More than 30 people died and more than 40 seriously injured in the Wei army.

Soon, the car passed the ladder and wooden curtain, and pushed it to the moat under the cover of its own side. The soldiers in the car threw the earth bags they carried into the river, filling nearly half of them in a moment, and then digging the soil on the spot. It seemed that it would not take long to destroy the first line of defense in Kuragaki City.

Archers standing on the horse's face also shot at the angle of the rocket, but the raw cowhide on the roof of the car was covered with soil and lime, which was immediately extinguished when stained with fire, and it was useless.

Suddenly, there were several loud roars, and many places on the ground beside the moat collapsed, revealing a dark tunnel. Dozens of chariots fell down, the axles and wooden frames were broken, and the bottom of the tunnel was covered with sharp bamboo, and it was covered with crossbow arrows without dead corners. Almost no one could escape the hundreds of soldiers hidden inside.

This was a tunnel dug by Liu Shusun in advance. It was supported by crisp wood, and it was not a problem to carry the weight of several people. However, the carriage and more than a dozen soldiers transported the soil back and forth, and finally it could not support it. The wood was broken and the soil was sinking. Most of the moat that had just been filled with water spread, and the river channel widened a little.

However, it is now the dry season, and the water in the moat is not deep or turbulent. Although the Wei army was a little panicked, it was an elite of all battles. The cloud ladder and the wooden mantle were temporarily marching and shooting against the Chu army with bows and crossbows. Behind him, more than thirty flying rivers rushed over quickly, spreading along the moat, and instantly building a floating bridge.

Feijiang is also called a trench bridge, which is five feet wide and two feet long. It is easy to connect the two sides with mechanical devices such as pins, turnovers, and wheels. Every eight are arranged side by side, and the front can be passed by a large army of twelve feet wide. The Wei army dispatched more than 30 frames at a time to make five floating bridges, which can allow thousands of people to cross the moat at the same time and send the ladder under the city wall.

The Chu army then reacted and threw the can filled with sesame oil into the flying river, and then the sharpshooter shot the rockets to ignite it. However, the Wei army was prepared for it. Each floating bridge had 150 people guarded it. When the fire broke out, they immediately took the river water and soil and put out the water. The others quickly set their bows and reflexed to suppress it, keeping the safety of the floating bridge.

The cloud ladder and wooden mantle were also damaged by the attack of the catapult and the three-bow crossbow. Only eleven cloud ladders passed through the floating bridge, and three of them were about to successfully board the city. They were destroyed by the protruding car and immediately fell to the side, which was unbearable to use.

After nearly a thousand casualties, the Wei army finally survived the death distance of the siege. After setting up a ladder, and then cooperating with the flying ladder, the black and sharp soldiers climbed up with swords and shields.

However, this distance was ten times more difficult and dangerous than just now. The boiling oil that had been burned for unknown amounts, big, small, sharp stones, two feet long fork rods, and as many as locust arrows, all of them greeted their foreheads for no money.

The most amazing thing is the huge squash filled with reverse whisker nails, which is hung high with a winch and an iron chain, loosen the handle, and falls down immediately. It is shameless to smash more people from wherever they are. After the smash, they will snatch them up and then do it again.

Until the nails and wood were covered with broken flesh and blood, broken into pieces and could not be used, the Wei army, who was sieging the city, could get a great breath. If the brave ones took advantage of the momentum to turn over and go to the city, they would be killed by the defenders who were decisively killed by the hungry tiger.

From noon to evening, the Wei army obviously wanted to take the courage of the new forces and conquered the city in one go. They used more than 20,000 troops to charge repeatedly, fell and climbed again, killing the sky and the earth, but they could not break the city.

When it was dark, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Yuan Mulan's central army tent was lighted all night, obviously discussing the combat plan for the next day.

This is the case with the siege. If the city is strong, there is no shortage of food, grass and water, and the defenders are united and do not fear death, the general is good at planning and wise, and there is no other way except to fill in human lives.

Therefore, Zhang Xun was guarding Suiyang, and the rebels failed to attack for three years, Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu, and Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops became the background, not to mention the famous Battle of Diaoyu City, where the Mongolian Khan died at the city.

Therefore, the military strategy is about the above-mentioned military plan, the next step is to attack diplomatic relations, the next step is to attack troops, and the next step is to attack cities!
