The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 31 The wolf is coming? The wolf is really coming!
I still remember that when I was in school in my previous life, my teacher taught me the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

There was a shepherd boy who lied to the villagers, saying that a wolf was coming. Once or twice, the villagers picked up their weapons and rushed over. Their panicked looks made the boy laugh.

After this happened so many times, the villagers stopped believing it.

Finally, the wolf really came, and the child called on the villagers for help, but no one came.

As a result, all the sheep were eaten.

This story is to teach students not to lie, but Jiang Cheng is not a good student. He was thinking about a question at that time: Is it necessarily the liar who pays the price in the end?
Not necessarily.

If the scenario were reversed, the child would not be shouting "wolf" while herding sheep, but would be shouting on the main road in the city during rush hour: "There are people checking electric bike helmets ahead."

Shout once or twice and everyone put on their helmets.

After shouting so much, people naturally didn't believe it. Then one day, the person who checked the helmet really saw it in front... What about not lying? That's nonsense. The real truth that Jiang Cheng realized from that text is that there are too many false things, which can make people mistake the real things for false!

The special forces team had been calling for burning the granary for two days, but they didn't actually take any action.

But in the second half of the night of the next day, five thousand fully armed men blatantly attacked the granary.

When the granary is located behind the army, relatively centrally.

"Don't worry. There are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed there for grain and grass, and they are spread out to defend. It is impossible for a mere few hundred people to break through!" After being awakened, Cao Cao turned over and fell asleep again.

don't care.

Huangfu Song thought about it for a while and agreed, so he gave the order: "The Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army continue to rest, the local militia are not allowed to leave the camp, and the rest of the troops are on guard."

This was considered another feint.

As a result, the news brought by the scouts that thousands of people were attacking was suppressed.

I have received too many in the past few days.

Those 500 special operations battalion soldiers were making trouble everywhere, giving people the feeling that the enemy was about to launch a large-scale attack each time, but in fact they were just making trouble every time. Huangfu Song could conclude that the number of enemy troops sneaking into the vicinity was less than a thousand.

"Very good, the enemy army has not been dispatched."

Jiang Cheng, who was watching the whole situation, nodded secretly. With a command, five thousand troops rushed straight to the granary.

This time, there is no peerless warrior leading the team.

However, their equipment was extremely sophisticated, even far superior to the elite troops of the imperial court. They launched a hail of arrows before the troops arrived. Then, when they were thirty steps away, they threw gunpowder cans directly at the horses.

Fire coverage.

If I can't kill you with the explosion, I will at least scare you to death!

As a result, the granary guards had no time to organize a counterattack before their defense line was torn apart - it was also their own fault that their troops were deployed too scattered. In order to ensure the absolute safety of the granary, 10,000 people were spread out to defend an area of ​​ten kilometers.

Use the human wall tactic to prevent the special forces team from getting close.

But when the battle really started, facing the charge of 5,000 cavalry, they were instantly defeated.

The number of people who can actually stand in the front is less than a thousand.

"Throw!"

At the command, Molotov cocktails were thrown onto the granary and a huge fire shot up into the sky.

After setting fire to most of the granaries, the people did not delay and immediately retreated without any lingering feelings. So much so that when Huangfu Song reacted and found that there was indeed an enemy attacking the granary, not only was the military rations burned, but the enemy also retreated and ran away.

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"

I hurriedly called for people to fetch water to put out the fire, but there were no water guns in that era. What could be saved by relying on people to throw water?
There's not that much water.

Looking at the burning sky, Huangfu Song's face was darker than pig liver. After Cao Cao woke up, he was also confused and shouted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Three hundred thousand troops were stationed nearby, ready to go, but the food and grass were burned?

The best troops of the imperial court were dispatched.

As a result, they lost 20,000 men right after arriving at the destination, and were frightened by a rain so that they dared not move for three days. On the third night, their siege equipment was burned.

After that, they became a frightened bird on the fourth night, which resulted in them having no energy to attack the city on the fifth day.

Then on the fifth night, the food and grass were burned again.

At dawn on the sixth day, Huangfu Song looked at the remaining military rations, only one percent of which had been burned, with a gloomy face. He did not move for a full hour.

The atmosphere was so tense that Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao and other heroes did not dare to breathe loudly.

If we were to say who was relatively calm in the crowd, it would only be Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Liu Bei stood far away from the crowd and called out to his two brothers, "Eat, eat. We are fighting and we must eat well. After today, I'm afraid we won't have a full meal!"

After saying that, he ate a pound of corn cake in three bites.

She also said, "It smells so good."

He didn't seem to be worried about the army at all.

But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei noticed that their eldest brother's hand was shaking as he picked up the pickles with chopsticks - the successive setbacks suffered by the imperial army had shaken the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

As a relative of the Han royal family, it is impossible to say that he is not excited.

It’s just that Liu Bei was extremely shrewd and did not lose his composure.

As for Cao Cao, he also had a heavy expression at the beginning, but after Huangfu Song was in a daze for an hour, classmate Cao suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter confused Yuan Shao and others.

Huangfu Song's thoughts were also interrupted, and he frowned and asked, "Meng De, what are you doing?"

He wondered if this kid was mad.

"Good opportunity, good opportunity!" Cao Cao said, "The more Jiang Cheng attacks, the more it shows that he is stalling and he is not sure of resisting the imperial army. We could have hesitated, but now that we have cut off our military supplies, we have already burned our boats. Now, we can make up our minds to attack with all our forces."

After saying that, he looked towards the city ahead.

He added: "Even if each of the 300,000 soldiers only used one finger, the city gates would not be able to withstand it. What are we still hesitating about?"

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Huangfu Song suddenly realized: "Yes, what are we hesitating about?"

After saying that, he gave the order for the entire army to attack the city.

We must capture the bandit leaders Zhang Jiao and Jiang Cheng within one day!
"They are serious, they are serious, there are a lot of people, attacking the four gates in four directions!" Chen Gong said: "Dong Zhuo will attack one gate, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao will lead the Bingzhou army to attack one gate. Huangfu Song will personally lead 80,000 troops to attack the south gate. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, together with Sun Jian, Liu Biao and a group of local warriors, will attack the north gate!"

At this point, the real breakthrough has arrived.

Even without siege equipment, an army of 300,000 men pushing chariots and crashing into the gate would still be a huge threat.

In addition, no one knows who came up with the idea, but the chariots were tied together in the shape of "horns", with one chariot in the first row, two chariots in the second row, three chariots in the third row, and five chariots in the fourth row... They were tied with iron chains and pulled by a large number of horses, crashing directly into the city gate.

Given that the gates of Handan City were not very strong, it was highly likely that they would not be able to withstand the attack.

"But here comes the problem. You are all piled together, and your chariots are tied together. Aren't you just sitting ducks?" Jiang Cheng smiled coldly and said, "Listen to my orders. Take our only 20 'gas tanks', five at each city gate, and throw them all down!"
