Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 412 Battle of the Lujiang River (6)

However, Zhuge Liang couldn't accept the subsequent development of the situation. Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked day and night for more than a month, but they were unable to shake the walls of Lujiang City.Seeing that the Jingzhou army had sacrificed nearly thousands of people under the walls of Lujiang City, the results of the battle were getting worse day by day. Today, not even a Jingzhou army soldier attacked the city.

Zhuge Liang walked out of the big tent, feeling extremely tired. He looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about something.

A call suddenly sounded from outside the military tent, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but stood up immediately, frowned and asked, "Who? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to disturb me?"

"Walk, walk, how could the military master know you as a soldier." Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the distance.

"I want to see the military adviser, I have a way to break Lujiang City! I want to offer a plan..." A man's voice came from afar.

"Military division! I'm Ma Di! I need to see you!" A soldier named Ma Di continued to shout.

Ma Su?He said he had a plan?Zhuge Liang was a little dubious, and immediately shouted to those soldiers who blocked him: "Let him in!"

"Here!" After answering, a soldier walked straight towards Zhuge Liang, it was Ma Su, a young general of the Jingzhou Army.After Ma Di entered the army tent, he directly saluted Zhuge Liang and shouted: "The general has seen the military advisor!"

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "No need to be too polite! Tell me! What do you want to see me at this time?" Zhuge Liang didn't put on airs in front of him. He pointed to the low stool next to him, but signaled Ma Su to sit down. speak next.

A gleam of joy flashed across Ma Su's face. It was extremely unruly for him to come to Zhuge Liang privately this time, but now it seems that Zhuge Liang doesn't mind much.After thanking Zhuge Liang with cupped fists, Ma Di didn't show any pretense, and sat directly on the low stool Zhuge Liang was pointing at.After Zhuge Liang also sat back in his seat, he clasped his fists and said, "Military Master! During this period of time, our army's attack on Lujiang City has not progressed smoothly, and now the morale of the army is also greatly affected. If this continues, I'm afraid our army will The future is not good!"

Zhuge Liang asked with great interest: "If you see it, what should our army do next?"

He had already prepared himself mentally and waited for Zhuge Liang's reprimand, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would patiently ask for his own opinion instead, which surprised Ma Di a little.Seeing that Zhuge Liang's expression didn't seem to be fake, Ma Di quickly replied: "The last general also went to attack the city with the army in the past few days, but found that there was a strange wooden pointed pillar at the top of Lujiang City. It seems simple, but it has blocked our army's offensive to a great extent. The last general also thought of a way to let the soldiers destroy the wooden pointed pillar, but the Yangzhou army seems to have been prepared. After one is destroyed, immediately A new one will be replaced! With this kind of wooden pointed pillars, we will not be able to capture the top of Lujiang City in a short time!"

Zhuge Liang nodded. He also saw the wooden pointed pillar that Ma Di mentioned, but it was tied together with several logs in a horizontal and vertical direction, and they were placed on the top of the city.The horizontal logs protrude from the top of the city, just blocking the way for the Jingzhou army to climb up the top of the city from the ladder; Outside assassination, but also can block the attack of Jingzhou army soldiers.Originally, the Jingzhou army's offensive had already achieved certain results in the past few days. If they persisted, Lujiang City would definitely be captured.But as soon as this weird wooden frame came out, it once again made up for the disadvantages of the Yangzhou army, and the Jingzhou army had no way to deal with it for a while.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "I know this too, but if we don't take the city, how will our army take Lujiang City? You wouldn't suggest that the commander give up attacking Lujiang City, would you?"

Ma Di took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and said, "Military advisor! The general also knows that taking down Lujiang City is our army's necessary goal, and it is absolutely impossible to give up! The general means that even if we don't attack from the top of the city, It may not be possible to break through Lujiang City!"

Hearing what Ma Di said, Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood what Ma Di meant. When his eyes lit up, he stood up abruptly, stared at Ma Di and said, "You mean, you have other breakthroughs?" The solution for Lujiang City? Quick! Tell me quickly!" Zhuge Liang lost his composure at this moment, which shows how seriously the problem of Lujiang City has troubled Zhuge Liang.

Ma Di didn't mean to show off. When he even said to Zhuge Liang: "Military teacher! When the last general was patrolling outside Lujiang City during this period, he found that the soil quality of this Lujiang city was very special, so what the last general meant was that if we Secretly dug a tunnel from the barracks, leading directly to Lujiang City, and then sent elite soldiers into the city! The Yangzhou Army relied on the walls of Lujiang City. Without this advantage, how could the Yangzhou Army be an opponent of our Jingzhou Army! Going down to Lujiang City is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

Compared with the gloomy clouds in the Jingzhou army barracks outside the city, the Yangzhou army on the top of the city looks much better.Although the faces of the soldiers are still exhausted, they are still full of energy, talking and laughing.Especially Wen Chou, who was standing on the edge of the city wall, smiled angrily: "Military teacher, Wen Yuan! You see, this thing invented by the lord really works." There is no blood stain on it at all.

Guo Jia and Zhang Liao looked at each other and smiled, but they were relieved in their hearts. A few days ago, they were forced to be breathless by the Jingzhou Army.For this reason, Guo Jia lost a lot of hair in thinking about strategies every day.Unexpectedly, the fire a month ago, although most of the opponent's elite troops were burned, it severely stimulated those Jingzhou troops.During this month, those Jingzhou troops attacked desperately, and almost broke through the city several times.As for the previous fire attack move, Zhang Liao didn't dare to use it anymore. Firstly, the opponent was already alert and couldn't play a big role. Secondly, there was not much fire oil in the city, so Zhang Liao had to save it for other attacks. What about special circumstances?

But having said that, there are prerequisites for this wooden frame to be able to play such a big role.First of all, this kind of wooden frame can't stop the arrows. If there are archers in the Jingzhou army, this kind of wooden frame is completely useless under the attack of arrows.Secondly, it is that the Jingzhou army lacks siege equipment. From the beginning to the end, they rely on ladders to mount the city wall to launch a charge. As for the siege equipment such as charging carts and well rails, they cannot be made at all, and this wooden frame It just happens to be a setting specially designed to prevent climbing.And the most important point is that this kind of wooden frame is very simple and fast to make, just find a few logs and tie them with ropes.

Although Lujiang City is safe for the time being, Zhang Liao, Guo Jia and others did not let down their vigilance because they also knew that the Jingzhou Army would never let it go, and there would definitely be other tactics to attack the city.It’s just that the atmosphere on the top of the city is very good now, and Zhang Liao will not be so stupid as to spoil the scenery at this time. Dang even smiled and said to Wen Chou: “It’s okay! There is such a thing! I believe those Jingzhou soldiers will not even try to climb up City head!"

Zhang Liao's words were deliberately louder, and his bold words were immediately heard by the Yangzhou army on the top of the city, and they echoed loudly.Among these Yangzhou armies, there are both regular soldiers who have served in the past, and recruits who were just ordinary people before.However, after this month of bloody fighting, these recruits have gradually grown into qualified soldiers, among other things, but the killing spirit on them is no different from those veterans who have experienced many battles.

After motivating the defenders, Wen Chou and Zhang Liao looked at each other and smiled, but they walked slowly to the corner of the city.After seeing that there was no one around, the smile on Wen Chou's face slowly faded, and he said in a deep voice: "Military division, Wen Yuan, the morale in the army can finally last for a while now. What do you think will happen next?"

Although Wen Chou is usually a little impulsive, but after all, he is also a first-class general in the Yangzhou Army in the future. How could he be that kind of brainless person?The conversation just now was a scene arranged by Guo Jia and discussed with Zhang Liao, the purpose of which was to boost the morale of the soldiers on the top of the wall.After a month of hard work day and night, although they were not defeated, the soldiers' physical and mental strength had dropped a lot. If they didn't improve their morale, the soldiers might not be able to take it anymore.

Guo Jia sighed at this time and said: "It's hard to say now, the Jingzhou army outside the city will never give up taking Lujiang City just because the attack is blocked! Next, they will definitely come up with other ways to launch an attack on Lujiang City , we must be careful and guard against it!"

Now Wen Chou has no doubts in Guo Jia's resourcefulness and Commander Zhang Liao's ability. Dang even nodded in agreement, frowned and glanced at the soldiers on the city wall who were taking a break, and said, "It's been nearly an hour now. It's a month! Zizhou's army should be coming, right?"

a few days later.

Although the Jingzhou army was still attacking the city these days, Guo Jia felt more and more uneasy.Just after repelling a wave of Jingzhou army's attack, Guo Jia came to the top of the city with a gloomy expression and said nothing, confusing the defenders and soldiers on the left and right.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao also couldn't understand. He hurriedly pulled Guo Jia aside, and asked, "Military Master, what's the matter with you these days? Why do you always have a straight face? You made some people panic!"

And Guo Jia said with a bitter face: "Wen Yuan, over the past few days, I feel more and more that Zhuge Liang may have a conspiracy! But I just can't figure it out. This kind of feeling makes people lose their way. It's too uncomfortable! "
