1.45 The enemy of life and death

The Xianbei failed to attack the city for two consecutive days, throwing away their armor and losing their armor, losing their troops and losing their generals. They didn't even find the city wall. Things were only three times. Tomorrow will definitely be particularly intense.

Seeing Liu Bei frowned, Wu Lian comforted him: Baitan City is as solid as a golden soup, our army won two consecutive battles, and its momentum is like a rainbow. In addition, the city guards are equipped with all supplies, the Xianbei Light Cavalry came from afar and rushed to attack again. How can it last long? One round of energy will decline again, and three out. There is no need to worry.

Liu Bei nodded and praised the good: It is reasonable, but it should not be careless. Tan Shihuai is a hero. How could he depose the public for personal gain? Now he personally raised a 100,000 army to siege the city. On the surface, it was to avenge the revenge of killing his son and seize his wife. In fact, he wanted to eliminate us while we were not yet rich in wings to eliminate the future troubles of the Xianbei.

Wu Lian then realized: No wonder he didn't want to go back to Da Yan.

Just as Liu Bei and Tan Shihuai talked in front of the formation. Both of them wanted to find a way out for their respective people. Liu Bei dared to lead a army personally to the northern border at a young age. The accuracy of the goal judgment, the speed of action, and the strength of the soldiers under his command were unheard of. If he was to grow up, it would be a great concern for the Xianbei. Therefore, Tan Shihuai did not hesitate to encircle Bai Tan City with an army of 100,000. The purpose was to take Liu Bei's life. As for the hatred of killing his son and the hatred of taking his wife, it was no longer so important than the life and death of the Xianbei.

Tan Shihuai must have known the history of Baitan City. According to his expectations, a border town of the former dynasty that had been abandoned for more than 200 years was seriously damaged. How many defenses could it be? Unexpectedly, two days of attack, the soldiers and generals were damaged, but they didn't even find the city wall. So he even cut down the surrounding trees and stepped up the preparation of siege equipment.

Regarding defending the city, Liu Bei was deeply educated by Cui Shangshu.

Liu Bei has long been familiar with Wubao offensive and defense that has not been included in the "Four People's Monthly Orders". There is a city without a gate, and Liu Bei can still defend it. Now Baitan City has a solid and towering wall, surrounded by moats. The city is equipped with materials and sufficient soldiers and food. Even if there are 100,000 troops besieging the city, Liu Bei is not afraid.

However, Baitan City is close to the river bank and needs to be protected from water. Now the north is extremely drought and there is no heavy water. Building dams upstream and downstream is of little effect. Also, because the terrain near Baitan City is flat, even if it is filled with enough water, break the gate and release water. The flood floods the river. It will flood the Xianbei camp. At that time, looking around, there is an endless muddy land, with the Xianbei people and horses deep into the mud. Not to mention siege, it is difficult to walk. However, there are city walls in the city to block the water. The dry raided buildings built by Liu Bei can withstand floods on the elevated ground. Therefore, water attacks are worry-free.

This severe drought in the north is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Bei tried every means to use his connections in the inner court to seek the position of Hu Qi Captain. He led the Wuhuan in Youbeiping, who had only been more than 800 times, and quietly occupied Baitan City after more than 400 miles of Lulong Pass. If he had not had little experience in dealing with things, he would have not been able to identify Tan Shihuai's true identity. He had already retired.

Unfortunately, the effort failed.

Some people say that the Xianbei Great Shanyu, who was seriously ill, had not been around for many days. In just a few years, why did he still do this forever?

In Liu Bei's view, these are completely different situations.

In this battle, if the Han army was defeated and dismantled, one out of ten would be unable to deal with the wars on the frontier. Not only did the Xianbei become increasingly powerful, they plundered the people on the border, enriched the population, gained advanced skills, and strengthened their reputation. Even the Southern Xiongnu, which was firmly controlled, were divided due to the death of the new Khan. The sinicization could not continue.

Another danger is that the Wuhuan of the three counties was repeatedly summoned by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion. However, they lost their troops and generals. They became angry and rebelled. The disaster caused the northern region was another major disaster.

Everything was the defeat of the war. The great Han Dynasty, who was defeated by the Xianbei, made the nomadic peoples who had always looked up to the power, and the hearts of the people were fluctuating. The Han court's dominance over the northern nomads was greatly weakened. The people of the border counties rushed to move inward and handed over a large area of ​​land to the nomadic Hu people, laying the root of disaster for the Five Barbarians to invade China.

Therefore, in Liu Bei's opinion, the Han Dynasty could not afford to lose in this battle. This was also the reason why he learned that Tan Shihuai was not dead and resolutely defended Bai Tan City. However, he still underestimated the heroes of the world. Tan Shihuai personally led an army of 100,000 to siege the city, not to avenge the hatred of killing his son or taking his wife. Instead, he regarded him as the Xianbei's great enemy of life and death, and was a great trouble. He wanted to kill him so that he could be eliminated forever.

The remaining questions are simple.

Liu Bei defended the city and Tan Shihuai attacked the city. Both sides were in a state of stalemate.

Three days early in the morning.

The Xianbei camp once again came out. Unlike before, there were still a large number of civilians carrying before the iron hooves. When they got closer, the soldiers guarding the city discovered that the ones tied to the hemp ropes and chains were all the people of our Yan Han.

Men, women, young and old, with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. Many people still had blood on their bodies. They were driven to the city by the Xianbei army. They used simple wooden tools in their hands to dig soil to fill the river.

Although the people of the border counties had already entered the range, the archers were unable to shoot for a long time.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei.

The young master's face turned pale.

Everyone knows that young lords love the people as much as their sons. The Xianbei people drove our Han people to dig land and fill the river, which was really despicable.

Shoot or not?

The soldiers on the city and the people under the city met each other. There was a crying sound under the city. Many people knelt on the ground and asked for help, and spoke the accent of the northern part. Look at the Xianbei army, stopping far away from the land of an arrow. The people and horses were silent.

After crossing the crowd, Liu Bei could even feel Tan Shihuai's spying. The strategy used was actually very simple. It was not difficult to crack. Just one volley shot can kill all the people under the city. The key is how Liu Bei could take action?

Perhaps Tan Shihuai had already made a prediction, and Liu Bei would not be able to take action. In this way, there were only two results. The moat in front of the urn was filled with the people. Liu Bei opened the city gate and let the people enter the city. No matter what the result was, Tan Shihuai's strategic goal had been achieved.

Sure enough, the Xianbei army that was looking around the guards. Shaojunhou chuckled: "Open the city gate, all the generals will follow me out of the city."

"Here!"

After the three-way drum at the top of the city, the suspension bridge slowly fell down. The Xianbei army was in a stir, but it quickly calmed down. Tan Shihuai was waiting. There was a way to attack halfway. Wait for the people to swarm into the city and block the doorway. Send another surprise attack, and the big thing will be accomplished.

As soon as the suspension bridge was put down, a general ran out. He wore a brilliant robe and was competing for fire under his crotch. He immediately had a sword and his eyes were like lightning. He swung his sword and pointed at him, and a team of yellow crossbow soldiers came out one after another.

Along the river bank, the plates were stacked up and down to form a shield wall. The swords and shield soldiers followed closely behind. Liu Bei, under the escort of the embroidered official, personally led five hundred Danyang Baili to rush to the city.

"People quickly enter the city!" As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, he laid two layers, and the slabs arranged in an arc-shaped shield wall formed by the characters of Pin and inverted characters, quickly cracking the gaps.

Give up the road to the city.
