Hand of Destruction

After a year of long wait, Zhou Yu finally got the order to attack Huguan again, but the result of this attack did not require it, but to destroy it.

Because Zhuge Liang adopted new countermeasures for the siege strategies used in the south in the past, especially after Ju Su used wasteland walls and built thick brick walls, Zhou Yu also knew that the effect of catapults today may not be obvious, but catapults still have to be brought with him in large quantities. At least it is very effective to use it to smash the infantry.

He had seen the Mengchong chariot newly provided by the Yellow River Military Trading Company and the iron tower chariot newly provided by the Wuwei Military Trading Company in Jingzhou. He still liked these two newly adopted siege equipment in the Commander's Office, but it had to be based on the quantity to see the effect, especially the iron tower chariot. If the number exceeds 100, the city walls of Huguan can be turned into stairs and lose their basic effects.

With a few months left before the formal attack, Zhou Yu has more time to study the "Investigation on the Second Year of the Chinese War" issued by the General Office of the General Office and the "New Military Strategy" newly written by Liu Xie.

Zhou Yu no longer remembers how many strategies Liu Xie wrote, but every time a new strategy is released, there are always many surprises. The Han Dynasty has to face some adjustments. This time, the "New Army Strategy" officially proposed the development of balanced needs of the cavalry, infantry and navy. The five types of cavalry are divided into systems and infantry. The diversified and refined settings of the navy are also proposed, requiring generals of the army, especially Zhou Yu, to establish independent siege soldiers before the battle of Huguan siege, and to divide the infantry into three categories: heavy infantry, light infantry and siege soldiers. The heavy infantry soldiers are divided into heavy armored soldiers and heavy shield soldiers. The light infantry soldiers are refined into archers and strong crossbow soldiers, light shield soldiers, and siege soldiers are refined into heavy recruits, chariots and crossbow soldiers, and to refine them as needed.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said to himself: "Okay, I have something to do now!"

As for the General Staff Academy, after Jia Xu took over as the general ritual, it also changed a lot. It added war research work to the initial strategy formulation and basic functions of rear support. Each army set up a follower to engage in the process of marching formations. Then, at the beginning of the following year, the General Staff Academy began to investigate the reasons for each victory and failure, and summarized the biggest defeat of the previous year. In the end, the responsibility lies with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu knew that the enemy was the cavalry of Guan Xuan and had to send heavy cavalry to escort the people, but at the same time it proposed that although the three armies had to develop in a balanced manner, the meaning of balancing the development of demand was to balance according to demand, so the cavalry was still the main force of the Han army, and the infantry gradually became a supplementary development of the cavalry.

"Exploration of the Second Year of China War" finally proposes that each armies use the advantages of the cavalry to strive to eliminate the enemy in the wild, while attacking and defending cities mostly rely on infantry.

Zhou Yu fanned the book "Investigation on the Second Year of War in China" issued by the Staff Academy, and sneered helplessly, saying to himself: "It's all my fault, hehe!"

The old story was over for him. Zhou Yu was too lazy to argue with the General Staff, and was determined to rectify the newly established siege soldiers and carefully considered the effects of the newly transported siege equipment.

Cao Cao will also participate in this siege. For Cao Cao, perhaps this is the last battle between the Central Plains he participated in, and he cherishes it very much. After setting up camp, he pondered the details with Zhou Yu and Guo Jia every day.

In April, everything was ready. Zhou Yu led an army of 200,000 to attack the city. Two hundred wheel-drawn siege cars were framed, and more than three hundred Shenyuan carts were also set up, preparing to start a new round of bombing and smashing.

The general Taishi Ci, who guarded Hu Pass, led more than 10,000 people to fight Huang Zhong in front of the formation.

Huang Zhong was about to ask for his order to go into battle, Zhou Yu asked Cao Cao to send Li Dian to form the formation, only guarding but not attacking. Huang Zhong was dissatisfied and continued to ask for battle: "Now the thief of Taishi will not choose his general, but invite me to fight alone, which is to deceive me in old age and weak. If I don't go out of the battle, wouldn't I be a joke!"

Zhou Yu chuckled and continued to discuss specific deployments with Guo Jia.

When Taishi Ci saw Li Dian lined up outside the camp, but did not come up to fight, he continued to shout, "Can you have no generals in the southern thief?" He also led all his subordinates to laugh and sarcastically.

Xu Chu, under Cao Cao's tent, was angry and wanted to fight Taishi Ci. Cao Cao didn't know how to make a decision. He looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "I don't know who General Zuo planned to send to deal with it!"

Zhou Yu sneered, "What are you going to care about with such ignorant people? The courage of the reckless man is here. I am the general of the Han Dynasty. Leading the army to command the three armies, and scheduling the department is what we should do. Boring rats like this will use the catapult cart and the Shenyuan cart to greet them, and let the siege soldiers adjust the catapult cart and the Shenyuan cart, and then throw the catapult cart at his more than 10,000 people and fly kids, and let him go back to the city!"

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do. After a long time, they came to their senses. Huang Zhongze personally directed the siege army and the Shenyuanche to bombard Taishi Ci, which caused heavy casualties and injuries to Taishi Ci's troops. They retreated back to Huguan in a panic.

Huang Zhong was a little unhappy at first, but now seeing Taishici retreating in a mess, he couldn't help laughing, and asked the siege soldiers to adjust the scale and continue to smash the city and use equipment.

Because Ju Su strengthened the city many times, the catapult car is no longer as brave as before, but relying on its long range, it still smashed the fortifications and tools on the city walls into pieces.

Huang Zhong returned to the camp and told the generals about Taishi Ci's escape. Everyone was very pleased to hear it.

Taishi Ci returned to Huguan and felt depressed. Thinking about how embarrassed he was when he retreated, he did not have the temperament of the left general of the Han Dynasty. However, when two hundred large rolling stones were smashed at him, he was quite afraid. After so many years on the battlefield, it was the first time he had tasted the fear.

Ju Su looked at the formation slightly and knew that Huguan was difficult to defend. He discussed with Zhuge Liang that retreat was the best and kept his strength for the time being. However, Zhuge Liang insisted on defending and concentrating the entire north to defend, and to transfer all the troops that could be mobilized to Huguan.

After half a month of attack, Zhou Yu saw that he would not work again and was about to attack, but received a notice from the Military Affairs Office that he concentrated 200,000 troops from the north behind Huguan. The Commander's Office also agreed to Cao Cao's conquest of the Eastern Army to participate in the war.

When Zhou Yu and Cao Cao and Guo Jia discussed this matter, they smiled and said, "What exactly do Zhuge Liang want to do? If I were him, he would rather evacuate from Huguan and leave a hundred thousand troops behind Huguan to support the formation. As long as the south does not leave Huguan, it would be fine. If the north and the south concentrated their troops to fight at Huguan, the north would likely be defeated in one battle. Why is that hard?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Ju Su and Chen Gong are all people who know the art of war. Zhuge Liang can only be considered a person who is familiar with the art of war. Since he is going to defeat, let him go. Since the Commander's Office has agreed to mobilize the Eastern Army, it will be 300,000 to fight against this. Obviously, he wants to take this opportunity to eliminate some of the main forces in the north!"

The three of them discussed in the middle of the night, but did not come up with any good plans. Zhou Yu really didn't want to think about it, so he said, "Why do you have to win it surprisingly? The 200,000 troops drawn by Zhuge Liang are all infantry. The 100,000 cavalry concentrated here can be completely destroyed by cavalry duels, not to mention that there are 100,000 Donghu Guanxuan cavalry waiting for the order of Shangdang!"

Cao Cao said: "What Gongjin said is exactly what I want. The military strategy is strange and correct. Now that we cannot do strange things, we can defeat them with righteousness!"

Guo Jiaze said: "I'm afraid that Ju Shu will make a surprise plan, but he has no good method except for night attacks. I used the only method back then. I'm here, so he shouldn't dare to use it."

Zhou Yu sneered: "I'm afraid I'll tell Fengxiao right. If the situation is not good for him, he will definitely use this strategy. The magic of a strange strategy lies in the danger. The more dangerous it is, the more miraculous it is!"

Cao Cao held the table and laughed: "This is the wrong place!"

The three of them laughed and blew the lights to return to the camp to rest.

Zhou Yu asked someone to observe the mountain the next day. As expected, as he expected, more than 30,000 people were ambushed on the mountainside on the two peaks around Huguan. It was precisely because he absorbed the experience of Guan Yu's defeat last time that even the last path was blocked, so Zhou Yu had to attack.

More than 80 iron tower cars finally uncovered the curtains and revealed their true colors. The tower cars as high as six or three feet tall were surrounded by thick wooden boards on the front and left and right sides, and countless inch-thick iron sheets were inlaid outside the wooden boards. The entire tower car looked like an arrow tower wearing fish scale armor from a distance.

The back of the iron tower car is empty, with four long ladders placed on the top, with partitions wide and thick, and can stand more than 30 people. There are six huge rollers under the iron tower car, and a horse shed is set in front of the wheel. Ten horses can be placed inside to pull the iron tower car forward, and the horse shed is also wrapped in iron pieces.

Eighty iron tower cars formed a high wall side by side to drive towards Huguan. Looking from Huguan, they could only see very high-speed railway cars coming towards the city wall. Although Ju Su didn't know what was behind the iron tower cars, he knew that it must be something like a ladder. As long as the iron tower cars came, a large number of infantry could rely on this car to climb the city wall and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to hold it with spears.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Yu said, tens of thousands of infantry wearing dragon scale armor, holding battle axes and iron shields, climbing up the iron tower car one by one, and working together to push the thick roof panels to the city wall. He leaned over the city wall with a two-step ceiling, jumped into the city wall, and slashed with soldiers from the north.

The sudden appearance of these dragon-scale armored heavy infantry immediately caused a storm. Just as Taishici mobilized soldiers to resist the iron tower chariot and fought with these heavy infantry, a large number of heavy infantry in the south began to pour in.

Taishici couldn't use his spear on the city wall, and was pulling his sword to fight with these dragon-scale infantry soldiers. But when he heard a loud shout from the iron tower car, a general wearing golden dragon-scale armor held a golden mountain knife and rushed towards him. Taishici saw that his beard was gray-haired and his face was as rosy as a child, and he was probably the rumored veteran Huang Zhong.

The general shouted loudly and said, "Rebel Taishi Ci, let's see if Huang Zhong Lao!" The man had already jumped up and raised his sword with both hands to cut it down.

Taishi Ce hurriedly gave up the small soldiers beside him, thrust his sword at Huang Zhong, and fought with him. Taishici's weapons were quite unsatisfied. After dozens of rounds, Huang Zhong gained the upper hand and almost hit him several times. He was a little surprised.

Xiahou Dun and Li Dian also killed the city wall. They were originally secretly instructed by Cao Cao to take care of the veteran Huang Zhong. When they got on the city wall, they saw Huang Zhong killing the old Tai Shi Ce who was in his prime, and they were almost unable to fight back. They were ashamed, but they ignored Huang Zhong and headed straight to Ju Su, who was about to panic down the city wall.

At this time, Xu Chu also climbed up. As soon as he got up the city wall, he raised his sword and chopped several northern infantrymen with shields to the ground.

Not long after, a large number of military academies and reserve troops from the southern region showed their advantages. Their martial arts and command capabilities were significantly higher than those of the northern army. They commanded their small troops to concentrate and fight together. Gradually, many northern defenders were divided and surrounded and annihilated one by one.

Several young generals from Xiangyang Military Academy saw that the situation on the city wall had been controlled, and each led their troops to cut off the flags on the city wall. Zhou Yu, Cao Cao and Guo Jia couldn't help but fight and said in unison: "The time is here!"

Zhou Yu waved his arm, pulled out the military token, and said to the general Chen Shi: "Mobilize Mengchong and knock open the city gate for me!"

He said to the other few light infantry generals: "Thank the crossbowman to the arrow tower to suppress the rebels, and do not let someone rush up to the city wall!"

After looking at Cao Cao again, Cao Cao nodded slightly, Zhou Yu said to Cao Ren: "General Cao please bring his troops to protect the rushing chariot. When the door crashes, a thousand elite charge cavalry are in front, 30,000 heavy infantry are in the back, and 10,000 light infantry are inserted into the cavalry and heavy infantry to prevent heavy cavalry from being surrounded."

Cao Ren took the order and led the Eastern Army to protect the 50,000 troops and horses to protect Mengchong's chariot quickly approached the city gate.

The only soldiers in the north were Taishici and his personal soldiers left on the city wall. Xu Chu really had no one to cut him down. He rushed over and slashed at Taishici's personal soldiers. Taishici saw another fierce general rushing over, and was shocked. Huang Zhong took the opportunity to hit the chest. The personal soldiers hurriedly escorted Taishici to retreat to the corridor. As soon as they retreated, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian immediately led the soldiers to block the two corridors.

Ju Su saw that the city gate was hit by a storm, and hurriedly blocked people. He ordered 30,000 infantry troops to rush up to the city wall. He saw a group of crossbowmen suddenly appearing on the city wall. With a wave of volleys, the people in the headquarters were killed and injured in the corridors of the city wall.

Ju Su transferred the archers to shoot again, but Zhou Yu had already taken the wall, and the crossbowmen were condescending, and the northern crossbowmen were obviously defeated, especially Zhou Yu's crossbowmen were all wearing fish scale armor. This group of crossbowmen belonged to the siege army and was specially designed for the siege. Zhou Yu had only these three thousand people under his tent, but he played an important role at this time.

Although the fish scale armor cannot completely resist the bow and arrow, it can be kept at the key points and joints. Most northern archers only wear leather armor. After a few waves of shooting, Ju Su finally knew that something was wrong.

Although Taishici was slashed, he was not killed. So he asked his personal soldiers to help him to Ju Su and said, "We can't defend it, we can't get it, and we can't leave it to them!"

Ju Su stamped his feet and said, "Thank you to such a hard work, you are actually attacked by those dozens of strange cars. I feel unwilling to accept it!"

Taishici held his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed in the future and retained its strength. It can lure them all into the city, or it can be destroyed at one time. Even if you lose a pot of pass, you can kill 100,000 enemies, which is not a loss!"
