Chapter [183] Xu Rong Fishes, Liu Bei Takes The Bait
Jiange.
Xu Rong stood at the top of Jiange City, looking into the distance.
"Oh, there are still a lot of people." Xu Rong looked relaxed, and he didn't care about the fifty thousand troops at all, because he was stepping on a sword pavilion.
Not to mention 50,000 people, at least double it, Xu Rong didn't even bat an eyelid.
Jiange and the food and grass are sufficient, and backed by Shuzhong, as long as Shuzhong is not conquered, there will never be a shortage of food.
The warehouse is full of all kinds of ordnance, especially the dead arrows, which are piled up like a mountain.
What's more, the arrows are really exhausted, and the people in the middle of Shu can rush to make a batch.
As a pass that has never been breached frontally in history, Jiange naturally has its unique features.
"I don't know if the other side dares to attack?" Xu Rong said to himself, looking at the bed crossbow at the top of the wall, eager to try.
Outside the Jiange.
Liu Bei frowned as he looked at the dangerous pass in front of him, feeling tricky even looking at it.
To use a common saying to describe it, that is, a dog bites a bastard, and there is no way to talk.
"Brother, why don't I lead people to charge first?" Zhang Fei said: "It's better to test the strength of the troops first, maybe there are not many troops inside."
Liu Bei was still a little hesitant when he heard the words, and Guan Yu who was on the side interjected: "Brother, what the third brother said also makes sense. 27
"Since the four princes are besieging Lu Bu, Lu Bu's troops must be stretched. Maybe he really doesn't have many troops." Guan Yu continued: "Besides, they are all here. You can't just turn around and leave without trying?"
When Guan Yu endorsed Zhang Fei, Liu Bei saw that the two younger brothers supported the fight, so he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Then give it a try, first bring some soldiers to test it out.
As the military order was issued, the army immediately began to make ladders.
There is no technical difficulty in this thing, and in less than half an hour, the army can build a lot, which is completely enough for use.
"Kill~~~~"
Zhang Fei carried the ladder and took the lead in charging against Jiange.
As the road became narrower and narrower, it became a long snake array unconsciously, and the team rushed towards the Jiange.
Liu Bei looked at the situation in the field and frowned, "This terrain is too tricky!"
Needless to say, Liu Bei, seeing this situation, everyone, including the soldiers who were charging, realized that the current situation was very unfavorable, and it would be very difficult to attack by force.
On the top of the city.
Seeing that the opponent really dared to charge forward, the defenders of the Jiange Pavilion immediately geared up and took out their bows and arrows, intending to shoot the enemy with a rain of arrows and hit them head-on.
"Don't move~!" Xu Rong yelled loudly: "I'm in a panic, I can't hold my breath even at the sun.
"Five hundred people shoot arrows, and everyone else backs away, don't let them find out." Xu Rong ordered.
Liu Beijun's charge was obviously a test, Xu Rong naturally didn't want to be tested, and wanted to catch waves of fish.
As a player who has beaten Cao Cao and Sun Jian, although Xu Rong's personal force is not very good, he has absolutely no ability to command battles. How can Liu Bei's tricks make it easy for Liu Bei to show his first-class strength.
After receiving the order, the 10,000 defenders of Jiange retreated one after another, leaving only one man, and 500 people began to shoot arrows outside.
The rain of arrows was sparse and sporadic, but due to the terrain, it still caused great obstacles to the long snake formation below.
One man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, which is Jiange.
Now five hundred people are guarding the pass, and Liu Bei has not sent all his men, so Zhang Fei is having a hard time leading a small force.
In the distance, Liu Bei's eyes.
"Sure enough, it's not easy to fight, but there are not many defenders at the pass." Liu Bei analyzed, "It seems that Lu Bu is very confident in this pass, so he didn't send too many troops to garrison it.
"Brother, judging from the scale of the arrows shot from the top of the city, there are only a thousand people at most. We can attack by force." Guan Yu made a decisive decision immediately.
"But no matter how many people we send up, the formation will become a straight line when we rush over, and we can't rush to the front. It seems that there are too many troops to use." Liu Bei felt a little tricky, because the terrain here is too fucked up.
"My lord, when a man is weak." Zhao Yun interjected: "Ordinary soldiers shoot bows and arrows, and after a while their arms will become sore, and then they will not be able to continue shooting their bows."
"Anyway, we have a lot of people, so we trade our lives for the opponent's physical strength." Zhao Yun paused, "When the opponent loses energy and can't draw the bowstring, we can take the pass smoothly." "
"Zilong is right." Liu Bei nodded slightly, "Well, you two will directly lead the army!"
Liu Bei also made up his mind that paying a certain degree of casualties is nothing. As long as he can break through this pass, he can enter Shuzhong smoothly and build the land of Shu.
Before Liu Bei, there was another person who thought the same way, and that was Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu also thought that it would be fine to pay some price, as long as he could enter Shuzhong smoothly, then everything would be worth it, and then he led his troops to the Three Gorges, and ended up miserable.
Now, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu have the same idea, thinking that it is okay to pay some casualties, as long as they can successfully win Shuzhong, then everything is worth it.
There is no other way, the kingdom of abundance in the middle of Shu, rumors that there is still the spirit of the emperor in the middle of Shu, who can not be tempted?
Money can move people's hearts, not to mention a land of abundance, this endless wealth is enough to make Zhou Yu and Liu Bei tempted.
"Kill~~~"
Xu Rong looked at the army rushing towards him, with a cruel grin on the corner of his mouth, "Hey! I'm hooked!"
"Pass the order, let me keep it steady, continue to shoot with 500 people, and change people when you get tired of shooting, first change five groups of people and then talk.
Forces are useless in front of Jiange, five hundred men are enough to suppress the enemy with arrows.
If the 500 men are no longer able to shoot, then change to another 500 men. The firepower has not changed, and the people below will not notice anything. They will always think that this wave of defenders has extra strength.
One dial, two dials, three dials...
The corpses under the Sword Pavilion have piled up in a large piece, blood flowing like a river.
Liu Bei in the distance couldn't help showing eagerness, "`~Damn it, why is the opponent still shooting?"
"My lord, there are not many defenders here. It is impossible for Lu to send elite soldiers, whose arm strength may be different from ordinary people." Sun Qian said after thinking for a while.
"Do you want to take it down?" Jian Yong interjected.
"No!" Sun Qian retorted immediately, "If we withdraw now, it will undoubtedly give the defenders a chance to breathe. Then the soldiers who died before, wouldn't they die in vain?"
"Yeah." Liu Bei nodded, feeling that what Sun Qian said made sense.
Withdraw now, let the Jiange defenders get a precious chance to rest, and the people before that will die in vain.
The top of the city was seamlessly connected again, and the fourth group of people (Wang Qianhao) continued to shoot arrows.
Now Liu Bei was a little uneasy, wondering how strong the defender's arms are?!
Continue to attack, but don't know when it will be the leader, the defenders seem to be tireless.
If you want to withdraw, wouldn't the previous ones die in vain?
In this mood of worrying about gains and losses, Liu Bei struggled through five groups of people.
"My lord, look!" Sun Qian suddenly excitedly said.
It turned out that at this moment the city no longer shoots arrows, but replaced by Rolling Stone Fragrant Wood.
"My lord, it must be that the opponent is unable to draw the bow!" Jian Yong said excitedly: "The right hand has no strength to draw the bow and shoot the arrow, so I can only smash the stone with both hands."
"The right hand is weak. Even if you hit the rock with both hands, you need to use more force with your left hand to hit the rolling stone. The opponent can't hold on for long." Liu Bei made a judgment immediately.
Normally speaking, there is indeed no problem with Liu Bei's judgment.
But the problem is that the situation in Jiange is obviously abnormal, and Liu Bei predicted loneliness.
"Hey hey..." Xu Rong laughed sadly a few times, "Rolling Shiqiaomu, change another group of people."
