Chapter 224

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu said, "since there is no way to attack by force, we should find another way and choose the most clumsy strategy."

Lu Meng asked, "what is the general going to do?"

Zhou Yu smiles and tells the plan in detail. Then he tells LV Meng and Ling Tong to take charge of the arrangement. After hearing this, Lu Meng and Ling Tong also showed a smile on their faces. They threw their fists back and went down to prepare.

One night without words, the next morning.

The silent Jiangdong soldiers were busy again, but they did not choose to attack by force. Instead, they built walls outside the city. The distance of the wall standing on the ground is just at the edge of the range of the bow and arrow.

Even if the bows and arrows on the top of the city are shot, they have lost their lethality and can not affect the construction of the wall outside the city.

On the tower, Liu Xiu leaned against the female wall and looked at it carefully. He smiles from the corner of his mouth. Although the distance of the earth wall is not within the range of the bow and arrow, it is still within the range of the catapult.

"Deng Zhan, tell the catapult to attack with it."

Liu Xiu ordered Deng Zhan to arrange it immediately.

Yuan Ye led a catapult to prepare for the attack on the wall outside the city.

"Boom!"

About 50 Jin of stones fell on the wall. The newly built wall collapsed in an instant, and all the achievements were destroyed.

The walls built up were quickly destroyed by the catapult.

Zhou Yu was at the rear of the town. After noticing the situation, he sneered and told the soldiers to build a wide range of earth walls around the city of AI county. At the same time, also sent a catapult impact AI County tower on the catapult attack.

There are 30 catapults under Yuan Ye's command, a lot more than before. However, compared with the external walls, the 30 stone pitching vehicles are far from enough to attack all of them, because more than 30 walls have been built outside the city.

Liu Xiu noticed the situation and his eyes became solemn.

Zhou Yu's method was very clumsy, but it made Liu Xiu difficult.

It can't be destroyed, it can only be built by the other party. Or, he sent soldiers out of the city to attack Jiangdong soldiers, and then destroyed the walls built by the other side. But once the city gate was opened, it hit Zhou Yu's heart.

Liu Xiu ordered: "focus on attacking the wall that is about to be built, and then destroy it."

After Yuan Ye got the order, he slowed down the attack and focused on the wall that was almost finished. After all, it is difficult to find a large number of stones in the city, and the speed can only be slowed down temporarily.

Two days later, with the efforts of a large number of soldiers under Zhou Yu, walls were built outside AI county.

Wang Ru looks like the outer city of AI county.

"Boom!"

Yuan Ye ordered the attack, a catapult attack, constantly destroy the wall outside the city. However, stone throwing vehicles began to appear on the walls, and began to attack the walls.

Zhou Yu was staring at the scene outside the city. He raised his mouth and murmured, "Liu Xiu, how do you resolve it?"

Zhou Yu also made arrangements to attack the city wall.

There are numerous earth walls outside the city, and the focus of the attack is on three. When attacking, first attack with earthenware pots filled with tung oil, and then attack with burning fireballs, so that the walls drenched with flammable tung oil can burn.

On this basis, and then stone attack.

So, destroy the walls.

Once the city wall cracked, Zhou Yu was able to enter the city, and Liu Xiu was defeated.

Liu Xiu is also aware of this situation.

His catapult is more advanced and has been modified by Huang Yueying. But after a long time of attack, the stones in the city have been exhausted, and it is difficult to continue to attack with stones. The only way to use it is to attack with cupping. Although cupping has lethality, it doesn't affect the rhythm of attack. At the end of the day, part of the wall in the direction of the South Gate collapsed.

After nightfall, the attack continued.

Liu Xiu's face, there is a trace of dignified. After a long confrontation with Zhou Yu, it was difficult to garrison AI county.

In the room, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan and others were seated.

There was still a roaring crash on the tower. Liu Xiu glanced at several people and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Yu used the most stupid method to attack the city, but this method worked. AI county is about to be conquered. We can only prepare to evacuate. "

"Lord, Zhao Yun has been away from AI County for some time. According to the news, it should make sense. "

Referring to Zhao Yun, Liu Xiu's eyes showed a trace of expectation.

Zhao Yun is the most important part of Liu Xiu's plan. Huang Zu attacked Chaisang to attract the attention of Chaisang's garrison. At this time, an army led by Zhao Yun intervened in the fighting between the two sides and became a weight on the balance. Zhao Yun is the key to breaking the situation. As long as Chaisang is broken, Zhou Yu's offensive will be broken.

Liu xiudao: "the situation of Zhao Yun is unknown and unpredictable. One more day, if there is no news from Zhao Yun, we will withdraw our troops and go to Chaisang. "

"No!"

Deng Zhan nodded and turned to leave the room for the night patrol.Liu Xiu went down to the city hall and went to the county government.

When he came to the backyard of the county government, he went straight to the courtyard of taishici. At this time, the oil lamp was still on in his room, and he did not rest.

These days, Tai Shici didn't see Liu Xiu. He was surprised that Liu Xiu came. With a smile on his mouth, he said: "is it to show off the result of victory that Mr. Xiu came to see me at night?"

Liu xiudao: "Zhou Yu is not an easy person. AI county can't keep it. You should be ready to leave at any time."

"Oh, you can't stop it?"

There was a trace of curiosity in his eyes.

After Liu Xiu entered you County, he never failed in leading the battle. This time against Zhou Yu, I encountered a rare problem, which is really amazing.

Liu Xiu said, "it's just a temporary retreat. It's called strategic retreat."

Tai Shici laughed and said noncommittally, "what happened to the specific war?"

This time Zhou Yu won, he also had the idea he wanted to know.

Liu Xiu did not conceal Tai Shici, saying: "Zhou Yu just arrived in AI County, and chose to attack AI county. However, his strategy of attack failed. Later, Zhou Yu built a wall outside the city and put a stone pitching cart on the wall to bombard the wall. Although I have a catapult to fight back, there are not enough stones in the city, and there are not enough catapults to stop it. "

After a pause, Liu Xiu sighed: "Zhou Yu chose the most stupid way and the most time-consuming way to break the city. Although he was clumsy, I couldn't stop him. However, he only gained the advantage of offensive and defensive warfare. Maybe the next moment, the situation will be reversed. "

Liu Xiu still has great confidence in Zhao Yun.

As long as Zhao Yun wins, the situation will soon turn over.

Tai Shici narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Xiu said that the next moment, the situation may be reversed. Don't you have a second hand? Or, you are waiting for the army of Huang Zhong and Pang Tong. "

Liu Xiu said, "I can't disclose the details. I'm here to tell you to be ready to retreat. "

"I know," he said

Liu Xiu solemnly warned: "at this critical time, I hope you cherish your own life and don't want you to make any mistakes at this time. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you and leaving AI county. "

Liu Xiu appreciates Tai Shici and hopes to keep him. But if taishici wants to leave at the last moment, Liu Xiu doesn't mind killing taishici.

Taishici said: "xiugongzi's defense is strict. How can I have a chance?"

Liu Xiu smiles and turns to leave.

……

Outside the city, the barracks.

There was a strong smile in Zhou Yu's eyes. According to the progress of the attack, one day, we can completely destroy the wall outside the south gate. In this way, his soldiers can fight into the city.

Lu Meng looked excited and said, "governor, the city outside the South Gate of AI county will collapse tomorrow night at the latest. It is expected that Liu Xiu may choose to break through. This time, Liu Xiu can't escape. "

Lingtong said: "the gate of Sifang city must be guarded by soldiers."

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Yu said, "no troops will be stationed outside the gate of the city. Just leave the soldiers stationed outside the south gate. "

"Ah, why?"

Ling Tong's eyes showed an incredible look.

Zhou Yu said: "there are no soldiers outside the Sanfang city gate. On the contrary, it is more confusing. Let Liu Xiu guess. Although it seems to withdraw troops, in fact, soldiers must be hidden outside the gates of the three cities, and Liu Xiu cannot escape. "

When Ling Tong and LV Meng heard the speech, they all understood.

They left in a hurry to arrange for Liu Xiu to stop him from withdrawing. Zhou Yu waved his subordinates away with a smile in his mouth, expecting Liu Xiu to solve the current situation.
