Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 516
"It came so fast?" At the head of Jinyang city, Xin Pi's injury has not healed quickly. , The broken leg injury did not heal so quickly.

At this moment, Simpi transforms Taotao Minyi, who is in Jinyang City, into a soaring green energy by using the awe-inspiring aura to protect Jinyang City, while watching the enemy's formation.

5000 people stand in front of a city like Jinyang, they are a little thin, and the threat should not be great!

Yunti and Jingyi had already been pushed to the front of the formation, and Ma Chao ordered eight catapults to be prepared. He also knew that his strength was not enough to fight with full strength, so he chose to concentrate his strength and use the method of breaking the surface.

Although there are many defenders, the space on the city wall is limited, and it is impossible to concentrate on a section of the city wall. In Ma Chao's view, as long as the offensive is strong enough to occupy a section of the city wall, the city is at your fingertips.

He ordered the catapults to focus on throwing stone bombs in a certain direction.

Boom boom~
Under the support of the army formation, the eight stone bombs hit the city head like meteorites with ear-piercing screams.

Simpi looked up, but didn't care. The meteorites bombarded the green energy shield, but they didn't fly or smash into pieces, but the power carried by the stone bombs was weakened by most of the green energy. The moment the bullet pierced through the green energy, its power was greatly reduced, and it swung towards the top of the city like an ordinary falling stone bullet.

For today's armies of princes, such stone bullets falling from the sky have no deterrent effect, and the shield guards guarding the top of the city directly use their shields to fly the stone bullets out.

"Too little, Meng Qi obviously doesn't know how to fight this siege." Chen Gong looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.

Public opinion is not important to a city. If there are powerful Confucians, they can turn public opinion into practical power, but the form of expression will vary according to the abilities and ideas of the Confucians.

Some directly form a shield to bounce off the enemy's attack, and some, like Simpi, do not resist stubbornly, but remove the power attached to the siege equipment, losing the power attached to it by the army array After that, whether it is a stone bullet or an arrow cluster, it is no different from what ordinary people shoot. Not to mention the blessing of the army, even soldiers without the blessing of the army can easily block it.

There is another group, that is, to attach green energy to the city walls and soldiers to form a layer of protection. This kind of comparison tests the ability of Confucianists.

When attacking a city, the most fearful thing is that the opponent not only has public opinion, but also has such a powerful Confucian. Although the Confucian method of speaking is weakened, almost most of the Confucians are unable to use the powerful method of speaking, but this mobilization The power of public opinion has not been curtailed.

Generally, in a city with such Confucian scholars, no matter how fierce the attacking generals are, it will be difficult to destroy the city as before.

Ma Chao is obviously not the kind of general who is good at attacking cities. At this time, the most correct approach should be, as Zhao Yun said, to break the hearts of the people first, and then attack by force.

And this is not the case with a strong attack, but to use a large number of arrows and stone bullets to consume the green energy of the opponent, and it is almost exhausted before launching the siege.

Moreover, the eight catapults are indeed a little less, and their consumption is limited, not enough to break through the city.

"Teacher, this method is unwise, why let him attack the city?" Zhao Yun came to Chen Gong's side after forming the formation, and watched the battle with Chen Gong. Watching Ma Chao directing the catapult to attack the city, Zhao Yun frowned.

They used Guanzhong soldiers and horses this time, and there were not many siege equipment, so Zhao Yun suggested to focus on attacking the heart.

"Although this son is talented, his personality is rebellious. He looks a bit like Wen Hou when he was young, but his combat experience is far less rich than Wen Hou. Let him suffer a little bit to train him." Chen Gong said indifferently.

Like Lu Bu, but not Lu Bu after all, besides his personal bravery, Lu Bu has a kind of terrifying insight on the battlefield, and even if the Ma family is poor, they are still poor, and Lu Bu has been wandering outside the Great Wall since he was a child. You can say that he is a political idiot and incompetent with the combat quality honed in the sea of ​​blood and corpses, but Lu Bu on the battlefield is really invincible.

Whether it is a siege or a field battle, Lu Bu is capable of it. In this regard, even if a general like Ma Chao who grew up under the blessing of his family has good talent, it will be difficult for him to take on the big job for a while!
Perhaps the talent is not inferior to Zhao Yun, but it is more troublesome than Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's disciple relieves Chen Gong a lot. As long as he is given a general direction, Zhao Yun can usually do it well.

"Zilong, if you come to attack the city, how will you attack?" Chen Gong suddenly changed the subject and asked Zhao Yundao.

Zhao Yun was sitting on the horseback, looking at the direction of the city with sharp eyes, thinking about the strategy to break the city in his mind, after thinking for a while, Zhao Yun said: "If it is necessary to attack by force, there is no good way for this disciple. Its youthful spirit, and then attack the city!"

With the green energy transformed by public opinion, Zhao Yun couldn't think of any good way to break it. He could only follow the conventional siege methods, step by step, trying to exhaust his green energy, but this green energy came from the hearts of the people. People's hearts still want to defend the city. If there is a reliable Confucian who transforms the green energy, the green energy will be continuously generated.

"What would happen if you were to preside over the siege?" Chen Gong asked.

"Without food and water, shake the hearts of the people with words, disperse their opinions, and then attack the city!" Zhao Yun briefly stated his thoughts.

"This method is quite satisfactory. If it is common, it is indeed a good method of attacking the city." Chen Gong nodded. Although Zhao Yun is a general, his greatest advantage is his stability.

Zhao Yun was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, looked at Chen Gong and said, "Teacher's intention is..."

"Marquis Wen has already led his troops to the rear to intercept the Huns. With an army of [-], there is no supply of food and grass here, so there is only five days. In five days, we will not only break through Jinyang, but also fight all the way to Mayi!" Chen Gong looked in the direction of the city wall, and Ma Chao had already started to attack the city. Seeing that his siege equipment was ineffective, he gathered all his troops and stabbed spears at the city wall, leaving gaps in his relatives, but he recovered quickly and was weakened. The last spear pierced the city wall, leaving only potholes.

Zhao Yun raised his brows when he heard this. For five days, the strategy of cutting off water and food is obviously inappropriate. To use this method to shake people's hearts, one must be prepared for a long-term stalemate.

If you fight quickly...

Zhao Yun looked at the city, thought for a moment and smiled wryly, "I'm incompetent, I don't know how to break this city quickly."

Chen Gong looked at the Jinyang city in front of him, took Zhao Yun around the city, hesitated and said: "There is a way to break the city, but it will hurt the peace of heaven, I can't do it!"

Hearing the words, Zhao Yun looked around and seemed to realize something: "The teacher said, pour water into Jinyang?"

"En." Chen Gong nodded and said: "When I became a great Confucian, the words I made were to set up lives for the people. It is common for princes to fight, and conspiracy and tricks are common, but if this method is used to destroy the city, not only the people of Jinyang will be damaged, I don’t know how many people in the lower reaches will be implicated, such things are contrary to my way, can’t be done, and can’t be done!”

The waterways in Bingzhou are broken, so water transportation is not possible, but it does not mean that there is no water. Jinshui and Fenshui have sufficient water, and it is no problem to flood a city of Jinyang.

But in this way, the war damage will not only be the people in the city, the people in the lower reaches of Jinyang and countless villages will be turned into a swamp country, and the lives will be devastated.

"Teacher, I remember the teacher said that there is a difference between having and not using and not having." Zhao Yun said suddenly.

Chen Gong was taken aback, looked at Zhao Yun, nodded and smiled and said, "Store water and build dams to attract enemy troops to attack?"

"Exactly!" Zhao Yun nodded, as long as the enemy troops were drawn out, they wouldn't need the green energy in the city.

Chen Gong thought for a while, nodded and smiled: "This plan is very good, but we need to let them know. In this way, go to store water and build a dam for the teacher. You are here to raid the formation. If the enemy troops come out of the city to attack, you can release them first." Pass the enemy army, and then surround it from the rear!"

"Here!"

Just as he was talking, Ma Chao had burned down two wells, five ladders, and one of his carts. He was unable to climb the city and had to retreat temporarily.

"Where's sir?" Ma Chao came to plead guilty, but he didn't see Chen Gong, and looked at Zhao Yun in surprise.

"Sir, the general knows that this battle will be difficult to break through the city, and he already has a countermeasure, so let's prepare first!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

Looking at Zhao Yun's smile, Ma Chao felt that the other party must be making fun of him, so he snorted coldly and ignored him.

This person is probably sick!

Zhao Yun glanced at Ma Chao speechlessly. With a meek nature, he didn't quite understand Ma Chao's brain circuit, just as Ma Chao always misunderstood Zhao Yun's meaning. It was destined that it would be difficult for two people with completely different ways of thinking to have anything in common.

On the top of the wall, Simpi frowned slightly as he watched the opponent retreat and set up camp.

"Sir, the enemy army was forced to retreat by us, and the siege equipment was also damaged a lot. Why are you frowning, sir?" Seeing that Simpi was frowning, Guo Yuan asked suspiciously.

Simpi frowned and said: "Just now I saw that the other side sent out a group of troops to go up the river. I was worried that the enemy would store water and attack the city!"

Water storage to attack the city?

Guo Yuan and Gao Gan's complexion changed, and Gao Gan couldn't help but said: "Sir, this Jinyang city is strong, with a height of four feet, and it is a strong city for men in the whole Bingzhou. What's the matter?"

"Firstly, it will hurt our army's vitality, and secondly, it will hurt the hearts of the people." Simpi shook his head, denied his opinion, pointed to Jinshui in the distance, and said, "Although the city of Jinyang is strong, the terrain here is very strong. It is relatively low, if the enemy army attacks the city with water, even if it cannot be poured in, the water surface can spread to the vicinity of the female wall, and the enemy army may attack by rowing boats at that time!"

"Then what should I do?" Gao Gan frowned. Although it would not be possible to break through, the hearts of the people in the city would be damaged, and the advantage of the city wall would be gone. , then it will be troublesome to keep it up.

Simpi resolutely said: "We can't let him store water to attack the city, order Hu Chuquan to lead the cavalry to attack and harass the enemy's dam-building soldiers and horses!"

Gao Gan nodded and said, "I'll give the order now!"
