1.286 Starting Thunder
Three days later, the city of Shouchun.
The sky was bright and the drums were rumbling.
The two camps in the north and south were set off at the same time. Cao Sikong took the eight generals and the eight powerful generals under Lu Zhendong, lined up in an order and attacked the outer canal.
In the outer canal of Shouchun, there are tall buildings lined up, with streets and alleys crisscrossing, and it has become a prosperous street. At this time, people have already left empty buildings, and have dragged their families to hide in the city. Looking at the tall buildings, they all stationed in Huainan defenders.
In this battle, we should proceed step by step. We should first pull out the outer ring and then attack the inner ring. Especially, the inner and outer water camps will cut off the key points. Only by capturing the gates and the Yanzhou watercraft ships can we go down the ring canal. In a nutshell, infantry battles are inevitable. In previous battles, Huainan adhered to the rules. There were two dragons in Changtu, combined with the power of the four families, but the siege failed. The sunken boat sided and seized the road and fled. The two dragons died on the spot. Feng Feng was also captured by Yuan Shu.
Later, all the sunken boats were salvaged ashore. The inner and outer canals were surrounded by boats and platforms. There are still remaining ships that have not been repaired. Although the ships were broken, they could not be moved. However, on the deck, such as thunderbolt catapults, machine crossbows, etc., they could all be used. Therefore, the ships turned into turrets, became Huainan defenders, and were strong positions. They were also garrisons.
For any Jihan warship, the hull must be strong and wood wrapped in iron. Just imagine, it stands high on the boat platform, enters and exits the ladder. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack from a high place.
No wonder Yuan Gaolu accepted the good words of military advisor Yan Xiang. He abandoned the Huai River defense line, concentrated his troops, and defended Shouchun. He relied on the inner and outer ring canals and the boat-table forts to block Cao Lu's army under the city of Shouchun. In addition, there were Huainan warships, cruising day and night. The East-West Water Village was blocking the opening. Take it seriously, "one man should be at the pass, tens of thousands of men will not open."
If the Gaihai Fleet passes through Huai and Fei Rivers, it will follow the Shouchun Huanhuan Canal. The first thing to do is the water camp to block it.
The water village was blocked with water cuts. It was piled up with stones, like two mountains, with iron gates in front and back, and cuts water and veins. It was built by Linxiang, Beidu Township and Tongnangang Dock Fort. The character "官" shape dominated the two sides and lie across the canal. It was Yan Xiang, the general of the military in charge, and was personally responsible for the construction. It was used to travel merchant ships, enter and exit the gates, and collect tariffs. In wartime, it was a dock fort, and a military chasing was assigned to guard the army. At the top of the city, the organs were full of weapons, and the food, grass and supplies were stored, and they were enough to support half a load. What's more, as long as the canal was surrounded, the boats and ships could be supplied at any time. Shouchun defense cannot be compared.
In this battle, Cao Sikong must advance both land and water. In the field battle, he must break the barriers of the ship platform, and in the water battle, he must pull out the two villages in the east and west. He also breaks the outer canals, and there are also inner canals. In the canals, the barriers of the ship platform and the east and west water camps, they still need to be broken one by one.
Only in this way can the troops be at the city and attack Shouchun again.
It is no wonder that the officials and people in Shouchun are confident and fearless. The generals in Huainan work hard. The rice is even more complete in Shaobi. The officials and people in Zuzhi City need a year. I think again, Cao Sikong raised 200,000 elite soldiers and chewed horses. How can they manage to support one year? Therefore, everyone thought that at least three months, it will take only half a year, and the food will be gone, and the soldiers will retreat. Shouchun should be safe.
What's more, Longkangtun's grain has been burned by Huainan partial masters. One has increased and the other has become worse, and it is even worse. Sikong is here, and it is hard to say that he has won.
Seeing Cao Lu moving to the north and south, military advisor Yan Xiang made a statement and should divide his troops to defend.
Yuan Shu then ordered Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to lead generals and escorts to guard the North and South Ring Canals.
Standing on the turret, overlooking the inner and outer canals, sails are like forests; heavy troops are hoarded and strict in garrison. Yuan Shu and his subordinates are instructed, talking and laughing calmly: "Cao Mengde, a 200,000 army, is regarded as a mustard of grass."
"General, mighty." The staff were worried. Fortunately, they were wise and one of the six heroes.
Before the enemy approached, the boat platform first launched a thunderbolt. From the tower, overlooking the flint, whistling out, smashing the enemy's formation. All the staff were excited. As mentioned before, the two dragons in Changtu and four families attacked Yuan. However, the troops were ashamed as mountains and defeated, and they helped Yuan Shu, their strength increased greatly, and their reputation was greatly shocked. Don't you see that there are many boat platforms around the canals inside and outside, and the boat platform is like mushrooms after the rain. Before the broken ship canal was repaired, it will sink into the water. However, it is high on the land, but it becomes an immovable wall. Instead, it has a miraculous effect.
Just imagine, if you don’t have a bloody battle and strong attack, how can you board the ship first?
The flint attacked. Without waiting for Shangguan to give orders, the forwards scattered and avoided the surrounding streets.
Then, General Ji Ling of Huainan sent someone to ask what should be done?
Yuan Shu replied: It is best to attack the enemy.
The Huainan defenders received orders. Rocks fell like rain. They captured the enemy's residences and destroyed them all. For a moment, the soil and wood splashed and thick smoke rolled. They first penetrated the roof, and then broke the central beam. The tall buildings collapsed with a bang, burying Cao's soldiers under the ruins.
Seeing that the houses were destroyed, none of them survived. Cao's army did not dare to avoid them.
After one day's battle, all the boats were standing on the shores, and alleys were destroyed. The enemy's corpses remained.
Shouchun boat platform first launched the thunder and ordered Cao and Lu to attack the two armies.
Moreover, regardless of north and south, Cao and Lu both suffered losses.
That night, Cao Mengde sent an envoy Lu Bu to the camp and talked about the war the next day.
Lu Bu went south this time and failed to carry all the weapons. He wanted to break the boat platform and throw stones, but he only relied on the benefits of the mechanism. When he fought again tomorrow, Cao Sikong wanted to send Lu Bu to go out to harass him. He covered Cao's army to lay the rails and walked down the heavy weapons of the mechanism. He attacked the ship platform.
After asking the military advisor Chen Gong, Lu Bu replied, "Assuming orders."
Fight again the next day.
In Lu Bu's camp, the rafts were everywhere, galloping back and forth, attracting firepower. Cao Mengde paved the tracks from the camp first. He wanted to attract sharp weapons to attack the city, and shot with the ships. However, he was the Huainan defenders and gained the lead. Before the rail was connected, he was destroyed by flint. After many attempts were not achieved in one day, the three armies returned in failure.
"Ming Gong, what do you mean?" Seeing that many camp soldiers were damaged, Cheng Yu asked in a secret question.
Cao Mengde smiled profoundly: "It's a plan for the truth."
"Ming Gong, a clever plan." Cheng Yu then realized that "fake plays and do things really". If he cannot go to the battlefield and kill the enemy with real swords and guns, he will not say that Chen Gong is resourceful. Even if Lu Bu has been through the battlefield for a long time, how can he not be suspicious?
Therefore, Cao Sikong, the three armies used their lives to fight Shouchun with blood.
Looking up at the sky, there were stars. Cao Sikong murmured to himself: "Three days should be determined."
No one knows what the left and right sides say. Only Cheng Yu knows the whole story.
He rode his horse in one day, and although he was not damaged, he also had a lot of energy. Lu Bu entered the camp and washed and changed his clothes. Without a drink, Cao's camp sent envoys to come again.
It is said that Cao Sikong paved the tracks at night and fought again tomorrow.
Lu Bu promised not to mention it.
Waiting for the messenger to return, Lu Bu and Chen Gong looked at each other and smiled.
Tomorrow will surely be a bloody battle.
Cao Yuan fought in Shouchun, and each other was getting worse and worse. This was exactly what Lu Bu liked to see.
Even after conquering Shouchun, Cao's army was greatly damaged. The grain was burned, and it was difficult to recover its vitality within three years. At that time, the emperor and the kings returned. Ji Han established the country and the heroes each obtained a high position. They enjoyed wealth and honor in their families and had a rest with Ji Han.
When it is a big white one.
Chen Gong ordered a scout to patrol at night. As a result, he saw the Cao army camp in the north of the city, and the men and horses were neighing. The strong men in the army were laying the tracks all night.
The Huainan defenders also found out that the ship's flint was shot, but they failed to hit one in ten.
Just wait for dawn.
The Cao army should work hard to destroy the ship platform and conquer the outer canal.
Chapter completed!
