Views:

When Cao Cao's Northern Route Army achieved victory, Sun Jian's Southwest Route Army also defeated the Tu'er City of the Tu'er Tribe, an important northeastern town in the southwest region.

The leader of Tour City is a man with a strong backbone and has always been loyal to the leader of the Edel Alliance who has supported him to his current position. Now that he encountered this large group of rebels, he immediately asked the leader and his southwest Wolf, the leader of the Wogo tribe, the regional leader, asked for help.

But he led all the small tribes in the entire northeast, including men, women, old and young, to gather in Tour City, gathering the power of the entire northeast region to defend such a small city to the death.

After several rounds of intimidation and persuasion, Sun Jian was beheaded in public by Tu Sen, the leader of the Tu'er tribe, to tell everyone inside and outside the city that this battle was inevitable. The determination in his hands is also hard to shake.

Sun Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Route, who felt that he had lost face after the envoy was killed, ordered the army to attack in anger. The 50,000-strong army was divided into five rounds and carried out high-intensity attacks day and night.

All kinds of siege equipment that the barbarians have never heard of or seen are like flowers competing in beauty, taking turns in front of the barbarians defending the city, and what blooms are bright flowers bloomed with life.

Each of the powerful and extremely destructive siege equipment, crossbow formations, catapults, battering rams, and ladders took turns to perform their performing arts. However, in just two days, the city wall, which was originally ten meters thick and relatively strong, became dilapidated.

The 4,000 male warriors who had been plundered by Tucson in the city and finally gathered together were attacked by these advanced weapons and the enemy's well-trained troops, and more than 2,000 of his men were killed in the blink of an eye.

The remaining more than 1,000 people were all injured and could hardly hold a knife. It could be said that they had almost lost their combat effectiveness. However, Tucson, who had been beaten red-eyed by this fierce attack, was forced to stay behind the city wall. to prevent being attacked more fiercely by the next enemy.

As for being unable to hold the weapon stably, this is simple. Just hold a rope or let the weapon be directly connected to your hand. In this way, unless you are completely dead, or your hand is cut off and you completely lose your fighting ability, then you will never be able to fight. Don't even think about withdrawing from the battlefield.

Moreover, the frantic Tucson organized all the strong women in the city, distributed each of them a sharpened wood weapon, and cruelly gathered their children together, forming a tribe of more than 1,000 people. In the future, the children who are still growing are organized into the final reserve team.

Before those strong women, the mothers of those children, went to the battlefield, the native told them very specifically and solemnly that if they could not hold on to the city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, then after their death it would be the time for their children to go to the battlefield.

Using this very inhumane method to force those women to make a final resistance with their own troops, not to mention that extreme methods often have extreme effects, those women really risked their lives for their children and themselves. Defend the city.

Their fighting morale is often higher than those of men. Sure enough, women still pay more attention to their children than men! As long as they don't want their children to waste their lives meaninglessly on this hell-like battlefield.

Then you must risk your life and use up all your efforts to stop those people's offensive. Therefore, after getting the reserve team composed of these women, the originally unstable city wall suddenly stabilized. It could have been easily The city he captured actually lasted him two days.

For such a small city, the total population is no more than 10,000. The defensive facilities of the city wall are very crude. The height of the city is only ten meters. The defenders' equipment is not some stone tools, but only a small amount of iron tools.

Unexpectedly, under Sun Jian's 50,000-strong army, as well as fierce generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Han Dang, and Huang Gai, who led the vanguard to attack the city, and supplemented by a number of advanced siege equipment, they were able to hold on for five days. .

Although after these five days, the city's population of 10,000 dropped sharply to less than 2,000, most of the survivors were children no more than twelve years old. As for those who are over twelve years old and have reached a certain level of height and strength, they are all used as defenders and cannon fodder by the completely crazy Tucson.

Although Sun Jian's army has excellent equipment, well-trained troops, and powerful siege equipment, under this high-intensity siege battle that takes turns to attack day and night, it is still under the city wall. It was covered with the corpses of five thousand people.

You know, these 5,000 people are not just a mob, but elite soldiers trained by Zhong Yu in the Three Kingdoms world, after going through conquests in the Central Plains, conquests on the grasslands, and various high-intensity battles.

There were not many such soldiers and horses in the past dynasties. His combat effectiveness is equivalent to the 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers brought by Xiang Yu. This is the last essence of the Chu Kingdom. With Xiang Yu, he can sink the boat and defeat Zhang Han's 20 soldiers in one fell swoop. An army of ten thousand prisoners.

Although those prisoner armies were slaves who had just formed an army, they were also taken to the Central Plains by Zhang Han to pacify Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's million-strong army, and defeated the uprisings of Zhao, Qi, Wei and South Korea in Hebei. The army has also been trained to some extent in combat effectiveness, and can barely be regarded as a regular army.

Although these five thousand people are not as many as Xiang Yu's eight thousand, and those vanguard generals may not be as brave as Xiang Yu, but compared with Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Huang Gaihan, their ability to lead troops, even if it is a little worse, is not that bad. go.

Now, under this small city wall, he was blocked by those barbarians and lost a total of 5,000 of his elite soldiers. It can be said that Sun Jian's face was greatly lost. Sun Jian secretly made up his mind. After the city was broken, He would never leave a single person alive, otherwise he would not be able to wash away the shame and shame in his heart.

Although a large part of the reason for this loss was the extraordinary strength of the defenders in the city, especially the third-level strength of their defender Tussen, which caused huge damage to Sun Jian's army.

Nearly a thousand of those five thousand people were killed by him alone. Even though it was the total number of killings in these five days, he alone could kill more than 200 people in one day.

Lu Bu and Sun Jian, who had enough trust in their own martial arts, also felt a trace of fear in their hearts. At the same time, they also had an uncontrollable desire for the extraordinary power he controlled.

Finally, on the sixth day of this meat grinder-like siege, the city of Tours, which had already been crumbling and its defensive strength and war potential had been exhausted, came to a complete end.

The soldiers who had fought a heavy-lost war for six days completely opened the door. All the soldiers who had been killed poured into the city without any purpose, just to vent their anger and kill everyone in their eyes who was dressed differently than themselves. people.

After the army calmed down completely and was restrained by the various officers, they returned to their respective queues and gathered together. Only then did the people cleaning up the city report to Sun Jian that not a single living creature could be found in the city, including the livestock raised by the barbarians. .

After this war, no one could be found alive for hundreds of miles around the city of Tour. Except for Sun Jian's army, there was no one left alive in the entire area.

The destructive power of war can be seen from this. This can be regarded as a realistic version of a situation where there is no human being in a hundred miles and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!
