"Rush over, rush over!" Liu Pi roared loudly, as long as he rushed over, rushed under the city wall, and climbed the ladder, this little Gwangju would be nothing to worry about. .
But the idea is good, but the fact is cruel. They did rush forward. Five thousand people climbed the city together. Gwangju, which has only two thousand defenders, will definitely be exhausted. Gwangju has no danger to defend. was broken.
But do you really think that Hao Shao’s moat is just for fun? The two ends are not connected so that the siege soldiers can walk on the flat ground in the middle. No one is a fool. Walking on the moat, it is difficult to climb up if you accidentally fall into the river, so everyone chooses the flat land in the middle.
5,000 people can say more or less, but if they want to be on the small flat ground in the middle, it will be really difficult. Even though the Yuzhou army entered in a neat formation at the beginning, they are now being beaten. Once a few waves of arrow rain are shot, it will be chaotic. Who wants to be shot to death by arrows? The people in front have to retreat towards the back, and the people behind have to rush forward when they hear Liu Pi's words. , The entire flat ground became chaotic, pushing and shoving each other, let alone rushing over, it is very difficult to walk a few steps now.
The front and back were crowded, and it happened to be the target of Hao Shao’s arrows on the tower, and it was still a fixed target. If you miss it once or twice, and three times or four times, if you miss so many people in such a section, you are either blind or intentional. . There were countless screams all of a sudden.
"My lord, tell General Liu Pi to withdraw!" Pang Tong couldn't stand it any longer. The five thousand troops were just for people to catch turtles in their urns. The flat ground was a cage. They couldn't get in or squeeze out, so they could only stand there and suffer the shots. Counting on rushing over, when they rush over, I am afraid that there will not be many left of 5,000 people.
"Ming Jin, withdraw the troops!" Liu Bei's face was also not good, the five thousand people didn't even touch a single hair of the family, but were blocked on the flat ground because of their own family.
"Hey!" Liu Pi roared fiercely, "Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
The order to retreat is much better than the order to rush forward. After all, those in the front row don't want to stay in the front row for a moment, while those in the back row don't want to rush forward when they hear the withdrawal. It's a rare unity. The speed of withdrawal was quite fast.
"Stop!" Hao Shao waved his hand to make his subordinates stop shooting, and they ran very fast. Originally, if Liu Pi kept letting his subordinates charge, then Hao Shao was ready to pull the remaining 1,000 people out to shoot arrows together , Such a fixed target can definitely hit a bunch of ten rings, and five thousand people are ready to be swallowed by Hao Shao. However, Liu Pi withdrew his troops and had limited bows and arrows in Hao Shaocheng, so he asked his subordinates to stop shooting.
"How! Are you still afraid!" There are corpses in the city of Guangzhou, but there are no injuries in the city. Hao Shao will not let this opportunity pass by, and use them to boost the morale of the city.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Of course they are not afraid. At first they still had a kind of fear. It was because there were too many enemies in the city, but they were threatened by Hao Shaoyi, and their retreat was completely blocked. , then the enemy will come to kill them, no matter whether they surrender or abandon the city and run away, there is no way out. Attacking, their confidence and morale are up. There are thousands of corpses left under the city, and the enemy is only 20,000 people. What are you afraid of!
Not thousands of corpses, but more than 2,300 people. Liu Bei's face was so cold that water dripped out. He would not have been so angry at first, because Liu Bei had been through the battlefield for a long time, and he couldn't do it either. It can be seen from Hao Shao's thoughts that only two ends of the moat are dug out, leaving the open land in the middle, just to attract the army to pass through. In normal times, Liu Bei might not blame Liu Pi and even appease Liu Pi, but now it is not only With Liu Bei's own army and Zhang Xiu here, 5,000 people attacked a city defended by 2,000 people, and they killed 2,300 people in one wave, and there were many wounded. It can be said that the number of casualties reached three There are thousands of people, and not even a ladder is on the city wall of Gwangju. This is not only a blow to morale, but it will still make Zhang Xiu laugh at the side.
Liu Bei is using the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman. Not only did Zhang Xiu not read Liu Bei's joke, but he thought about it a little bit. Liu Bei took down Gushi Anfeng without any effort, which surprised Zhang Xiu No, no matter what, there are still two cities. Generally, there is no one that cannot be taken in ten days and half a month. Even if there are many soldiers and horses, it will take three or four days. The two cities were taken down, which can be said to have surprised Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu also treated Hao Shao's method of defending the city differently, because Wancheng is also safe to defend, even because of the terrain. However, there is no moat in Wancheng, and Hao Shao's method of defending the city reminded Zhang Xiu that if trenches are dug out around Wancheng and only a flat land in the middle is left, if the enemy comes to attack, his Wancheng's terrain will be destroyed. Gao, he will not use bows and arrows like Hao Shao, but will directly pull out the cavalry to charge. I am afraid that let alone 2,000 casualties, all 5,000 people will have to be left for him.
"My lord!" Liu Pi was also a little disheartened. It was a good idea to take down the small city of Gwangju in a charge. Who knew that he didn't even touch the edge of the city? The wrong moat is even more a joke, and now it seems that he is the one who turned into a joke.
"Continue to attack!" Liu Bei waved his hand to make Liu Pi needless to say more. Hao Shao's words made Liu Bei very upset before, and now he has hurt so many soldiers, how can Liu Bei bear this tone.
"Me!" Liu Pi wanted to say something but Pang Tong stopped him.
"General Liu Pi should listen to the lord and continue to attack!" Liu Bei is sometimes very nice, maybe pretending, but usually even if the general is defeated, he will only appease him. He is a family man, but now he doesn't even do superficial kung fu with Liu Pi, which means that Liu Bei is really angry. Liu Pi's further words will only make Liu Bei more angry, so Pang Tong hurriedly stopped him.
"Yes!" Liu Pi could only nod his head and walked out of the big tent. He couldn't help but sighed as soon as he got out of the big tent. He wanted to talk more but he wanted to get some advice from the lord Liu Bei or others, because he just now Hao Shao's losses have already been suffered, and now we can no longer send troops to attack Gwangju directly! Is it to go through the moat? Let's walk on flat ground, even if he took Gwangju, his Yuzhou Army would have shrunk by more than half according to the current battle damage!
But now that Liu Bei is angry, he, Liu Pi, can only figure out a way by himself, if it doesn't work, then attack by force! Liu Pi gritted his teeth and thought.
"General Liu Pi stay!" Just as Liu Pi was about to leave the Chinese army and return to his command, Pang Tong called out.
"Military adviser!" Liu Pi cupped his fists towards Pang Tong. Pang Tong can now be regarded as the number two in Liu Bei's army and the number one among civil servants. Even Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei obeyed Pang Tong's words. Therefore, Liu Pi did not dare to disrespect Pang Tong.
"Where is General Liu Pi going?" Pang Tong came out and asked with a smile.
"Military division, this is of course returning to the camp and reorganizing the army to attack Gwangju again!" Liu Pi was a little puzzled, you, Pang Tong, didn't know what to ask. Are you wasting my time!
Looking at Liu Pi's expression, Pang Tong knew that Liu Pi had complained, "Then the general has a way to destroy Guangzhou!" Pang Tong asked again, and Liu Pi had nothing to say to this question.
"This, this is not there!" The corner of Liu Pi's mouth was very bitter. At worst, the whole army would press up the moat, walk on the flat ground, attack the city, and take down this small Gwangju with countless casualties.
"Tong has something to say, I don't know if the general is willing to listen to it or not!" Pang Tong said to Liu Pi with a smile. Now Liu Pi is no longer as vigorous as before.
"The military commander's words are serious!" Liu Pi's eyes lit up. Pang Tong is the number two figure in Liu Bei's army. All Liu Bei's strategies were formulated by Pang Tong. It was planned by Pang Tong. It can be said that Pang Tong is the brain of the entire Liu Bei army, and Liu Bei is just the one who issued the order. Now that Pang Tong wants to help him make suggestions, Liu Pi is so likely to refuse.
"General Liu Pi, Mr. Pang has three strategies. I don't know which one General Liu Pi would like to use!" The ancient counselors didn't come up with three strategies for you to choose, but for the sake of pretending. The three strategies above, middle and below are all for the same purpose, but the process is different. He is just giving you a suggestion, and the decision is in your hands.
"Please teach me, sir!" Liu Pi clasped his fists at Pang Tong, almost knelt down, and called out Mr. before. It was a job title, but now it is true to call out Mr. A kind of respect for Pang Tong.
"This strategy is General Liu Pi. He will use all his troops to besiege Gwangju from all sides, and launch an attack in groups. He is not afraid of casualties, just for victory! General Liu Pi has 20,000 troops under his command. There are more than enough, and there are only less than 2,000 people in this small city of Guangzhou, and under heavy attack, the city will definitely be destroyed!" Pang Tong said that the worst strategy is to attack the city without thinking, and the number of people is ten times that of the enemy. To pile up the heads, no matter how strong and fierce your soldiers are, no matter how strong your city is, no matter how well the moat is built, you can fight ten of them! cannot! Since you can't, then you just wait for the city to be destroyed!
"Military division is the best strategy!" Liu Pi rejected the worst strategy without even thinking about it, jokingly, if he attacked by force, Liu Pi would have gone there long ago, and he still needs to be so sad. He won a small Gwangju and attacked by force, and there will be casualties after the disaster Countless, not to mention that Yangzhou is so big, there are Lujiang, Shouchun, and Chengde in Hefei to fight, and so many people will die if you win a small Gwangju. You will also disdain yourself!
"Hehe, this is the right strategy!" Pang Tong naturally knew that Liu Pi would not choose the worst strategy, but the worst strategy is the most time-saving. No brain flow has high casualties, but it doesn't waste time. It can really be won before sunset today. As for Gwangju, although there may be heavy casualties, not only will Liu Bei not get angry when Liu Pi fights like this, but he will also praise Liu Pi, because this person is very obedient. In order to protect the face of the lord, rather than his own interests, Liu Pi lost Not only is military power not a bad thing, but it can also be further appreciated by Liu Bei. After all, your Liu Pi 20,000 army is there, almost accounting for half of Liu Bei's army. How can you let a lord not worry? It's not easy to install cronies, and I'm afraid that Liu Pi's heart will be chilled, because Liu Pi gave Runan to Liu Bei after all, so Liu Bei is both suspicious and not suspicious of Liu Pi, and he wants to take Liu Pi's military power I am afraid that Liu Pi's heart will be chilled, and it is very contradictory. If Liu Pi can figure it out in this battle of Guangzhou, and give up some military power to gain Liu Bei's trust and appreciation, I am afraid Liu Pi can go further in Liu Bei's army. Far.
But since Liu Pi couldn't think of this and was reluctant to give up military power, then he can't be blamed for not reminding Pang Tong. Sometimes the truth is so simple, but it can't be pierced. "Then let's make a decision!"
"The best strategy is to fill in this moat! Do it according to the general idea of siege!" Pang Tong doesn't care whether your moat is built like this on purpose or unintentionally, I will fill it all in for you, and send troops to take your moat. Block the moat and turn it into flat land, so that you Gwangju will have no danger to defend, and wait to be taken down by then. This is called staying the same for all changes.
"What is the best strategy for the military division!" Liu Pi frowned. This strategy is indeed a good one. The moat is filled, and the outside of the city wall of Gwangju becomes wider, so that his soldiers and horses can be deployed. But this strategy is really time-consuming. The moat outside the city of Guangzhou is not shallow. It draws water from the Huai River. It would take several days to send people to fill the river one by one. If the army does not disturb, if the archery is shot above the city wall, the time will be longer. Liu Bei wanted Liu Pi to take down Gwangju as soon as possible.
"The best way is to use a rushing car!" Pang Tong looked at the small town in front of him, "It's good that Hao Shao built the moat like this, but the same building also left a hole for him!" The moat was divided by the flat ground in the middle Come on, in order to take advantage of the people's desire to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, let everyone swarm up and block the flat ground in the middle. In order to attract the enemy, this flat ground is still very spacious. Just now, five thousand people can fit there, Pang Tong After a look, about five cars can walk side by side.
This flat ground can leave people, and naturally other things can also be walked, and the rushing car is also among them, and because of the flat ground, the rushing car can be leveraged more and more. It can be said that once there is a rushing car attacking the city, Gwangju will be uncomfortable. Because there is no suspension bridge, a city gate alone can't withstand the impact of a car. Didn't you see that a city gate as big as Wancheng can't withstand the impact of a car! Once the city gate is knocked open, Gwangju will be broken.
"The best policy, so choose the best policy!" Liu Pi's eyes really lighted up. It is impossible for him to choose the worst policy, because it is related to the issue of military power. Although the middle policy is good, it is too slow. If you want to fill the moat When is the time, this is the best policy, use a rush car!
Liu Pi seems to have seen the scene of his car speeding up on the flat ground and hitting the city gate. Once the city gate is broken, as long as the guards are sent to follow and control the gate, then Gwangju will be safe. Definitely!
"Sir, I don't want to thank you for your kindness. After this incident, Pi will definitely come to visit! It's urgent, so Pi will go first!" Liu Pi clasped his fists at Pang Tong.
"Go, go!" Pang Tong said to Liu Pi without blame. He Pang Tong helped Liu Pi. Although Liu Bei trusted him very much and gave him half of the military power, his second and third younger brothers commanded the troops. Zhang Fei was fine, but Guan Yu had to think about everything. How to do it! It would be good if ordinary military advisers can have their own thoughts, but Pang Tong is not an ordinary military adviser. Like Zhuge Liang, they are both from Mr. Shui Jing, and they have a strong control over the overall situation. They need absolute obedience , in the original trajectory, Zhuge Liang must do everything by himself and do everything by himself, not because Zhuge Liang wants to do this, but because some people are too smart, such as Ma Su, such as Li Yan, they also know that sometimes a game of chess may be lost there. One or two chess pieces, so what Pang Tong needs is not a thoughtful chess piece, but a person who has no thought for him to follow, and Liu Pi is such a person that Pang Tong needs.
