Chapter 266: 1 step slower

He came out of Liu Yi ’s house and said goodbye to Meng Da. Zhou Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Liu Yi approached him just now, his brain was a bit chaotic. He couldn't tell why.
What should I do in the future? Just follow Liu Beijun? What about the family in Nanyang?
The thoughts in my head are a lot of thoughts, but I can't think of a way to do it. With Liu Yi's character, after seeing it this time, I want to see him again next time. It is estimated that I have to wait for the battle.
Back in the barracks, I saw someone packing up his own things. When I saw Zhou Tonglai, I quickly got up and saluted: "Junior!"
"Why pack up your clothes?" Zhou Tong looked at his subordinates doubtfully.
The warrior said: "General Meng only ordered him to say that his gentleman had a serious injury and sent the military back to Fangling for cultivation."
Vaguely, I seem to remember that Liu Yi said this, but Zhou Tong was a bit confused and didn't pay attention. It was Meng Da who kicked him back and thanked Liu Yi. Now that his subordinates are talking about it, Zhou Tong is only a little bit. Impressions only.
Back to Fangling?
Zhou Tong shook his head and didn't understand why he said it back?
However, it might be a good choice to leave here. Since he could n’t kill Liu Yi, he did n’t want to face the sword in his hand again. In fact, he once shot arrows into Cao Jun secretly Book, I want to cooperate inside and outside to help Cao Ren break through this city, but unfortunately, Cao Jun apparently did not receive it. Now, he does n’t want to kill the old robe, and he also let him deal with Liu Yi in the same way. , But he did n’t want to choose between the two.
With a bit of melancholy and confusion, Zhou Tong silently began to organize his clothes.
Under the same night, there was no tranquility in Guancheng in the Cao Jun camp.
In order to protect the wounded, Cao Ren sent the wounded soldiers to the rear camp to recuperate. The actual strength he brought was 50,000. Nanyang soldiers and horses and Luoyang are mostly here. Under sufficient conditions, Cao Ren can afford this kind of game of losing both sides, and sending the wounded soldiers to the rear barracks can also prevent the wounded soldiers from affecting other soldiers' emotions.
But after playing for a month in a row, Cao Ren couldn't eat it.
"General, you can't fight like this again!" Several generals came to the tent and persuaded Cao Ren: "This month, our army has damaged nearly 20,000 people, and countless casualties are countless. If you continue to fight like this, you will be able to capture Fangling, and I am afraid it will be difficult to go further! "
This is also the biggest drawback of siege warfare. If you lay down a city at all costs, there are more cities waiting behind. The casualties of the siege are much larger than those of the defenders. If not necessary, generals are not willing to be easy Siege.
Cao Ren naturally knew how many casualties they had this month, and he did not know how many soldiers and horses there were in Fangling. Whenever he thought he was about to break this Guancheng, the opponent could always replenish his troops in time.
After such hard consumption, although he brought many soldiers and horses, he could not stand this consumption method. Although Cao Hong's death made Cao Ren uncomfortable, but after a month of venting, this emotion of anger, he has been able to Controlled.
Silently listening to the complaints of the generals, Cao Ren now began to think about the pros and cons of continuing to attack after his brain calmed down. After all, Fang Ling ’s truth and reality were not known, as if the other party ’s strength was endless. Obviously caused great interference, I don't know how long the other party can support.
A general suddenly said: "A few days ago, when cleaning up the battlefield, I found an arrow book, but someone in our army was mixed into that city, and asked me to wait for the night to attack the city. He would help us open and close the door. . "
Cao Ren stunned slightly and immediately frowned, "Why not say such a thing early?"
"This ..." The general smiled at Cao Ren with a wry smile. At that time, Cao Ren ignored everything, and the generals would dissuade him from listening. He had wanted to tell Cao Ren, but he was blasted out by Cao Ren before he even spoke. , What can he do? But he didn't dare to say this directly. He could only helplessly bow his head, ready to accept Cao Ren's violent scolding.
Cao Ren looked at the general's grievances and thought of his performance over time. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "This matter is not here for you, don't blame yourself."
"Is it possible to contact the person?" Cao Ren asked, if he could really fit in and out, as long as the city gate was opened, the gate of the city was no more than the strength of hundreds of people. He can now call 30,000 troops. All the brains can kill the opponent.
Shaking his head, the general said: "The man occasionally released arrows a few days ago, but he has not been able to search for them in the past few days.
It was a matter of taking risks. I have n’t responded on my own side. I might have been found. And Cao Ren stormed Guancheng in these days. The defenders at the head of the city changed one after another and died in the chaos. Maybe, the most important thing is that the contact between the two parties is based on the other party's arrows, and there is no possibility of contacting the other side.
Cao Ren has some regrets, even if the other party can't help open and close the door, it is good to pass Fangling's information back. Now, it seems that this line cannot be expected.
After thinking about it for a moment, Cao Ren said to the generals: "Have you ever found that this Guancheng city seems to be strong, but the wall is hollow?"
The generals nodded, and many soldiers strayed into it in recent days, some died directly inside, and some crawled out.
A general suddenly said: "It would be better to send someone to carry a heavy hammer tomorrow, and open a gap at the other end of the city wall, and I can send troops to flush the sand!"
Since the city wall is not as strong as imagined, it is difficult for the city gate to break open, but it is better to attack the city wall directly. Anyway, it is hollow. As long as the person enters, the other party ca n’t attack. You can desperately bombard the city wall, as long as If there is a gap, it is equivalent to opening a door for Cao Jun to rush into.
Another general said with a smile: "More than that, I can wait for the Thunderbolt to be farther away, without attacking the enemy on the wall, just bombarding the gap in the wall!"
In this way, the gap of the city wall can be continuously enlarged so that people can easily rush in. As long as the opposite wall can be penetrated, the army can be killed at any time.
"Good!" Cao Ren nodded and gritted his teeth: "According to my order, tomorrow I will mobilize the three hundred hammer soldiers, and the life shield will protect the hammer soldiers from rushing into the enemy wall!"
The plan has been decided, and General Cao Jun began to leave each other, and went on to prepare for it without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, Meng Da, who was about to greet Cao Jun ’s mad attack again, found that Cao Jun seemed to have recovered his reason today, and did not kill him as crazy as before. The opponent ’s catapult began to move forward slowly under the protection of the shield soldiers. Pushing, the ranks of generals of Cao Jun did not directly rush up, but platooned their troops in the close.
Silently relieved in his heart, if Cao Jun resumed his previous routine, this Guancheng should be able to guard the Shangyong soldiers to come to aid.
"General, this distance is not right!" A general suddenly said to Meng Da: "According to the position of the enemy's catapult, I am afraid that it can't be hit here, and it can hit the city wall at most."
Meng Da also felt a little dazed, what does that mean? Cao Ren should not make such a low-level mistake.
As he was talking, the other's catapult had begun to blast toward the city wall.
"Boom ~"
Successive bombardments hit the walls, and the walls beneath them kept shaking, but none of them hit them.
Meng Da looked down at the female wall and understood the other party's abacus. This is because the wall is hollow. Do you want to directly collapse it?
just……
Looking back at the solid wall built by Liu Yi in the rear, somehow Meng Da began to mourn for these Cao Jun.
Originally, when Liu Yi started to build a solid city wall, Meng Da still felt that there was some superfluity and no need at all, but now it seems that Liu Yi's cautious approach undoubtedly saved this Guancheng again. In Liu Yi's words, The more comprehensive the preparation, the more thoughtful the consideration, and the greater the chance of victory. It still seems reasonable.
Cao Jun's trebuchet bombarded the city wall continuously, and the cracked cement fluttered down, but although it was a hollow city wall, it also had extremely strong properties. Cao Jun's thunderbolt car bombarded continuously for a day before it was forced. Connecting the gaps together, but it is impossible to continue to attack.
Meng Da took the garrison for a day, so there was no stop, no ability to stop, there were so many soldiers and horses in the city ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If you really want to kill it, you will be swallowed by Cao Jun in minutes. There is left, so he has no intention to stop, and he has no power to stop anything, so he should watch the show.
Cao Ren also had some helplessness, leaving a team of people to monitor, so that the defending army did not have the opportunity to repair overnight, and the troops were returned to the camp.
"Sir, can this city wall be used?" After Cao Jun withdrew his troops, Meng Da found Liu Yi and told about Cao Jun's affairs today, asking Liu Yidao.
"If you want to attack from the inside, it's impossible." Liu Yi heard Yan shook his head and the cement hadn't dried yet, but the new solid wall was made close to the original hollow wall and had a full width, the front The wall of the city is broken, that is because the wall is completely under all the strength, but here, there is a new city wall behind it, unless the other party digs a road with a pick or something, if the hammer is ... wash and sleep Right.
"Then those who enter the city wall don't have to worry about it?" Meng Da heard it, his eyes widened.
"No, wait for the layer they smashed on the surface, our reinforcements have arrived early!" Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so that there is no need to abandon Fangling, this Fangling people, it is After the battle, Cao Ren lost his energy, and the next step is to wait for the other party to withdraw.
