Chapter 791: Four forces compete for Shu (first update)

Although Kou Feng passed the order to attack the future, it was definitely not tomorrow. Because the city of Chengdu was too tall and strong, there were 30,000 elite soldiers inside.

In particular, Kou Feng still didn't know how many Wei Dao these 30,000 elite soldiers could compete with Chu Dao.

If you want to attack the city, you must wait until Pang Tong's 50,000 troops arrive in Chengdu.

However, some offensive fortifications can still be done.

With 30,000 elite soldiers in the city, plus the troops possessed by Liu Zhang in the north, and Zhang Lu and others may increase their troops, Kou Feng has made plans to attack Chengdu for a long time.

Therefore, after setting up camp and resting for a day.

On the third day, Kou Feng sent Chen Da to lead his troops to build soil mounds in the south of Chengdu City. The purpose of building soil mounds was to strive for height.

Back then, when Kou Feng attacked Xiangyang, he suppressed the defense of Xiangyang City with the height of the well truck. This time, because the Shu Road was difficult and the well truck was difficult to enter, Kou Feng did not transport it from Xiangyang City.

But now the mounds are cast outside the city and are equal to the walls of Chengdu City.

The most feasible thing is that Liu Zhang was not Yu Jin from that time. No matter how many troops were, he would not dare to leave the city. Kou Feng could build a mud mound outside the city with peace of mind.

Chengdu City is more than ten miles long from east to west. There are plains in all directions, so it is very open.

It's noon this day.

It is about sixty steps away from the south of Chengdu City.

A mound is being built in full swing.

The so-called mound is not to pile up the soil. Instead, it is made of rice slurry, mixed with loess, and then hit with huge rocks to solidify. This is the traditional forging method of city walls in the Han Dynasty.

It is called the Fen Earth Wall.

At this moment, outside the city was in full swing, and countless soldiers were forging dirt mounds.

Because it is only sixty steps away from Chengdu, it is under the threat of the Shu army's arrows.

Therefore, in the place where the mounds were made, there were a large number of archers. The crossbow archers were sent in front. Under the cover of the shield, the archers who began to shoot at the city began to shoot.

To protect the safety of our own craftsmen and workers.

Although shooting from bottom to top is a bit of a disadvantage. However, the victory is that there are many people, and the fire rate of the crossbow is fast. Therefore, it can still be stalemate with the archers on the top of the city.

However, from time to time, soldiers and craftsmen fell to the ground by arrows.

Of course, there are also archers on the city who fall to the ground with arrows.

"Swoosh swish swish."

"Puchi, puchi?"

"Ah, ah, ah."

The howling of arrows, the sound of being caught in the arrow, and the sound of wailing down to the ground after the stroke hit the arrow, were heard from time to time.

But even so, the mounds outside the city are still built higher and higher.

In just half a day, a mound that was almost as smooth as the city wall was built. Although it was a little small, it also gave the Chu army archers a foothold.

About dozens of archers walked up and began to shoot at the archers on the Chengdu city walls sixty steps away. After the height gap was made up, everyone had the same lethality.

For a moment, the firepower of the Chu army became even stronger.

This is just one. I believe that in a short time, one, next to the mounds will be built. In the end, it will lead to the commanding heights of the Chu army, just like the Chu army in the city.

If the Chu army had crossbow soldiers, they would definitely be more fierce.

"Your Majesty, if you want to continue like this, even if we don't have to wait until the army of the military advisors and generals arrives, we can still enter the city." In the rear, there is a piece of land that has been flattened among the layers of soldiers. At this moment, there are some seats on the land, and Kou Feng is sitting in the upper position, next to it is Kou Shui.

Below is Xiang Chong, Chen Da.

Seeing the situation develop, Xiang Chong couldn't help but say.

"Well, the Shu army dared not go out of the city to fight, and there is no foreign aid for the time being. They can only watch us outside the city and repair this mound. In the end, they will lose most of the advantages of the city wall. With our more than 20,000 troops, we can indeed fight with one." Kou Feng smiled slightly and said.

The development of the situation was somewhat beyond Kou Feng's expectations.

In fact, as long as there is a general under Liu Zhang's tent suddenly coming out and slashing and killing them, their losses will definitely be huge.

It was not easy to build this small mound so easily. However, no general in the city had come out and watched them build the mound.

This made the situation in Chengdu suddenly worse. In this way, even without Pang Tong's army, he could still settle Chengdu.

but.

"But now, Gu doesn't want to attack Chengdu anymore." As he said that, the smile on Kou Feng's face became richer.

"Since Liu Zhang set up a formation to guard Chengdu, there will definitely be foreign players. Gu surrounded Chengdu and beat his foreign players. Yang Huai, Gao Pei, and Zhang Lu from the north. These people each occupy the pass or guard the danger. If Gu captured Chengdu, these people would entrench. If Gu just surrounded him, they would definitely come to rescue him. It would be much easier to deal with them on the plain."

Finally, Kou Feng said with a smile.

It’s not a big strategy, it’s just a siege to attack the aid. Originally, Kou Feng was thinking about how to break through Chengdu. Now seeing that Chengdu is so easy to fight, Kou Feng’s thoughts have become more and more.

Outside the city, Kou Feng was preparing for the attack without any rush.

Inside the city, Liu Zhang turned around in a hurry. Seeing a mound as high as the city was raised outside the city, everyone would be anxious as the guard.

As Kou Feng thought, Liu Zhang didn't know the harm of this. But there was really no general available in the city. The news that the Chu army was in the south, Zhang Ren was unable to ambush the field and was defeated, but had already been circulated in Chengdu.

When the generals saw the Chu army, they became timid. If they were sent out of the city to destroy, they would probably be defeated in front of them.

It can be said that Liu Zhang did not want to send troops out to destroy the offensive fortifications established by Kou Feng, but he had no choice.

Now, Huang Quan and Zheng Du are not around. Liu Zhang are only some older advisers, all of whom are at a loss. No one can discuss it, and no one can help him solve this problem.

Now Liu Zhang regrets sending Huang Quan out to recruit soldiers.

But even if Liu Zhang regretted it, the Chu army's mounds were built more and more, one by one, and it became wider and wider. The advantages of Chengdu's walls were wiped out bit by bit.

at the same time.

Near Fuling, a place called Guangshu in the Yangtze River Basin.

This section of the Yangtze River Basin is the place where the Yangtze River flows the most stable, the shallowest depth, and the easiest to cross the river. Meng Huo and Yong Kai chose to cross the river here.

In contrast, Deng Ai and Gan Ning were stationed nearby.

Deng Ai built a camp on land, while Gan Ning built a water camp on the edge of the Yangtze River. The army of 30,000 tightly guarded this dangerous point to maintain Kou Feng's expansion in the north of Shu.

Among the 100,000 people of Meng Huo and Yong Kai, there were also 20,000 people of the Han army in Yong Kai. Because they had been competing with Liu Zhang from the north for a long time, the quality of the navy was good.

The warships used by Gan Ning during his entry into Sichuan were also ordinary warships, rather than ships with obvious speed advantages. In addition, Gan Ning itself only has 10,000 naval forces, so the two sides competed with each other.

At this moment, Yong Kai and Meng Huo were set up in the camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Meng Huo was very upset in the central army's tent.

"That Gan Ning is really worthy of being a general of the Chu army. We have the advantage in the number of warships and soldiers, and we may not be weak in the bows and arrows. But we can't break through. If this continues, we may not be able to reach Fuling."

Meng Huo today is not dressed as a Southern Barbarian. He is wearing Han armor and a helmet on his head. He just looks very anxious.

Gan Ning and Deng Ai only led 30,000 people to defend their 100,000 people. The battle between the navy actually did not have much advantage in terms of weapons, because most of them used bows and arrows as the decisive victory. Therefore, the large number of Southern Barbarians is a huge advantage, but they have not made any contributions now.

Obviously, Meng Huo, the handsome man, felt humiliated.

"Not only this Gan Ning, even if we block Gan Ning with some warships, and then divide our troops to break through from the side to enter the mainland, the general named Deng Ai can lead his troops to retreat our army. These two people complement each other."

Yong Kai sighed and said.

The repeated battles cannot break through, which makes both of them a little impatient and decadent. In addition, they have not been able to understand the situation in the north in time, so they feel that this attack has become a little slim.

It was not as energetic as when the 100,000 troops left Nanzhong.

"I heard from the lord that there was an envoy who claimed to be Liu Zhang outside the camp." At this time, a guard outside the door shouted loudly.

"Bring in." Yong Kai and Meng Huo all looked moved, and then Yong Kai waved his hand.

A moment later, a person who looked like a literati walked in.

"Meet Mr. Yong, General Meng." After the literati came in, he looked at Yong Kai and Meng Huo and said politely.

"Stop doing these false things, say quickly, what's the matter with Liu Zhang sending you here?" Meng Huo said impatiently.

"Ba County has broken the city, and the life and death of the old General Yan Yan is unknown. At present, the Chu army has captured Jiangyang and continued to advance northward. When Shu is in danger, please think about it. In addition, this is my Master's intention, Wei Dao forging technology. Please accept it with a smile." As he said that, the literati took out a roll of bamboo slips from his cuff and handed it to Yong Kai.

"What?"

Yong Kai and Meng Huo were both shocked. The Chu army had actually captured Ba County and entered the Chengdu Plain. This was definitely a big blow to the two.

Because Kou Feng had just squeezed into Shu with half his body, as long as he had all occupied Shu, the princes in the south would be intimidated by the powerful military force of Chu.

It's definitely a day of fear and nightmares.

Yong Kai dullly took over the so-called Wei Dao manufacturing process. Yong Kai had long been coveting, and they were incomparable to Chu Dao in the battle with Deng Ai.

But at this moment, holding this bamboo slip, Yong Kai felt bitter.
