The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 32 Preparations for Siege of Yuzhang
Lu Heng mobilized troops and horses wantonly in Jing County, so naturally he couldn't hide it from Zhou Yu, just as Zhou Yu said.

It is impossible for Lu Heng not to send spies to inquire about the information of Yu Junzhang, and Zhou Yu can't worry about sending spies in Jing County, Wu Jun, and even Kuaiji.

Since ancient times, in addition to generals, soldiers, food, and weapons, economics, intelligence, technology, diplomacy, etc. have also been an important part of warfare.

As soon as Zhou Yu received the information about Lu Heng's mobilization of troops and horses in Jing County, he discussed with Sun Ce first and said, "There are capable men in Lu Heng's army! This time, we came to attack our army at seven inches above!"

Sun Ce said in a somewhat ignorant manner: "Gong Jin, Ce and Lu Heng have been fighting for a long time, and they have such a deep hatred. It is not normal for him to come to attack a certain one. He should lead an army to resist."

Seeing that Sun Ce was puzzled, Zhou Yu said patiently: "Bo Fu doesn't know something. This is the time when our army is weakest. We seem to have [-] troops (Zhu Hao's army is [-] elite, thousands of people stay behind, Liu Yao The [-] defeated army and the [-] brought by Sun Ce) are all new recruits, and the morale of the army is not stable.

We waited for the elite to arrive at Moling, but the generals leading the army are only you, me and Sun He, how can we fight against them?

What's more, Lu Heng is very good at training troops, and all the soldiers and horses under his command are elite. Fortunately, the army led by Lu Heng this time should be the new army of Jing County. If it is the army of Wu County, we have no chance of winning! "

After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, Sun Ce said boldly: "Don't let Gongjin grow others' morale to weaken the morale of our army. That is, Lu Heng has the upper hand. There are three thousand elites who have personally trained for several months. Even if Uncle Demou (Cheng Pu), Gongyi Uncle (Han Dang) and Uncle Gongfu (Huang Gai) are not here, but you and I are here.

What's more, the [-] troops are Zhu Hao's elite, although he is stupid, but at least he is Zhu Jun's son who is good at training soldiers, the [-] troops are not without combat power, Gong Jin only needs to talk about how to fight. "

Zhou Yu looked at the map for a while and said: "The terrain of the northern capital of Yuzhang is not dangerous to defend. There are two ways to attack Yuzhang from Jing County. One is to take the water and cross the river to capture Chaisang and go south to Yuzhang City. The other is to go by land to Poyang and go to Yuzhang. .

Our troops are all newly invested troops. If we defend Poyang City but are besieged, Lu Heng will divide his troops.
It is dangerous for our army to attack Yuzhang. It is better to abandon Poyang City and garrison Yuzhang City with heavy troops.

Chaisang has a dangerous river in the north, and Lushan Mountain in the south, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Sun He was ordered to lead five thousand soldiers to guard Chaisang and guard the river's ferry. "

After making up their minds, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu prepared various fortifications such as archery towers, rolling logs, and radium stones.

On the other hand, Lu Heng had to walk more than 700 miles from Jing County to the south, and the march would take more than half a month. Along the way, Lu Heng did some marching training, etc., and started training with the marching, and took over Poyang City very smoothly.

There was no encounter during the march. Zhou Yu seemed to be planning to defend Yuzhang City to the death, and had no plans for a field battle at all. Lu Heng and Tai Shici met at the bottom of the city smoothly.

Lu Heng personally inspected the terrain and at a glance, the city wall of Yuzhang City was three feet high, and the banners of Sun and Zhou were flying on the wall.

It shows that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are guarding it personally. The archery tower on the wall and the crossbow on the bed are all available, which makes Lu Heng's scalp tingle.

After the investigation, Lu Heng ordered the whole army to set up camp, raise accounts and discuss matters. After everyone arrived, Lu Heng said, "How can everyone attack this Yuzhang City? I'm afraid our army will suffer heavy casualties if we attack by force!"

After a while, Zhang Hong bowed and said, "My lord, Hong heard that Sun Ce is restless and self-reliant, why not let General Taishi and General Huyan take turns inviting Sun Ce to fight tomorrow."

Zhugexuan went out and said: "My lord, there is a saying in the military strategists, encircle it in ten, attack it in five, and divide it in multiples. To defend Yuzhang County, you need to defend three places. Poyang City has been taken by our army, so it is better to divide it and occupy it." Chaisang seized the ferry.

To the north, Chaisang leads a dangerous river, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defenders must be small. Sun Ce's forces are nothing more than Yuzhang, Zhu Hao, and Liu Yao's remaining troops, which total about [-]. Chaisang's defenders are at most more than [-].

Why don't the lord take down Chaisang first and take the initiative? "

Yu Yunwen also came out and said, "My lord, do you know about trebuchets?"

This trebuchet is actually a trebuchet, a siege weapon invented in the Spring and Autumn Period of China at the earliest. It mainly uses the principle of leverage to launch stones and smash them into the city.

Lu Heng, as a later generation, of course knows the use of trebuchets, and he has seen many scenes of trebuchets attacking cities in costume dramas.

However, only in this era did we realize that the current trebuchets are very bulky, and they can only be installed on the battlefield without wheels.

And there are also shortcomings such as poor accuracy, no pulleys, winches and other borrowed trebuchets, and it takes more than a dozen people to use it.

Lu Heng suddenly recalled, merging the military books in the memory in his mind and ponderingly said: "The flying stone weighs twelve catties in "Fan Li's Art of War" read by Heng. It is sent by machine and moves three hundred steps. Can a military master be called this sharp weapon?"

Yu Yunwen replied: "Yunwen learned that the lord invented a tool called a pulley, which was installed on the bow and crossbow. Yunwen expected that this battle would require siege, so he ordered craftsmen to make a large pulley and install it on the crossbow. With this sharp weapon on the trebuchet, Yunwen believes that he will be able to capture this city soon."

The rock-throwing machine proposed by Yu Yunwen inspired Lu Heng. Lu Heng, who has discovered coal, can use fire to attack. In this era, there is fierce fire oil, which is a sharp weapon for combat supplies for city defense.

Soak the coal in kerosene and throw it at the city wall with a trebuchet, and then ignite it with a rocket to launch a fire attack. Besides, as a later generation, Lu Heng also knows that he can throw some small gravel to beat it out.

Although it is not as deterrent as a boulder, the gravel has a wider range. As long as some stones the size of table tennis or tennis balls are thrown out with a trebuchet, they can kill people. Even if they don't die, they will lose their combat effectiveness.

With such a sharp weapon, Lu Heng suddenly became more confident and ordered: "Everyone said it is a good strategy. It will take some time to make the trebuchet. Military division Yu and Zhuge Xuan will handle it. Order Zhang Cheng to transport a batch of fierce kerosene, Moshi, earthen jars, cotton cloth, and gauze are of great use.

Tomorrow, Tai Shici and Hu Yanzan were ordered to take turns calling out to lure Sun Ce to fight, and ordered the craftsmen to make a lot of siege equipment such as siege carts, well rails, and catapults.

After the siege equipment is completed, He Qi, Lu Dai, and Niu Gao will lead [-] troops to attack Chaisang, and Zhuge Xuan will join the army. "

Let's not talk about the generals taking orders to work separately.

Early the next morning, Tai Shici and Hu Yanzan called for Sun Ce in turn at the base of the city.

In order to motivate Sun Ce to go out of the city, he chose even more. Dozens of soldiers with loud voices took turns swearing there with something like an iron bucket, but the swearing was only a few words.

Lu Heng couldn't stand listening in the camp, so softly cursing is still called cursing?

Lu Heng, who has been baptized in the Internet age of later generations, personally called a soldier to teach him a set of swearing words, and let them swear in their own way.

However, when Lu Heng was teaching his soldiers how to swear, Yan Yu, Yan Baihu, and Zhou Tai behind them had strange expressions on their faces.

As personal guards, they often hang out with Lu Heng. They know Lu Heng's modern words from time to time, but they never know that their lord's swearing is so terrifying.

In fact, Lu Heng and Sun Ce fought several times, and he thought he knew Sun Ce's temper very well, but today he was very surprised that no matter how much he scolded, the gate of Yuzhang City was closed.

Lu Heng could only think that Zhou Yu's existence persuaded Sun Ce, but what Lu Heng didn't know was that such a scene happened on the city wall of Yuzhang.

Zhou Yu was in Yuzhang City, looked at Sun Ce with a half-smile and asked, "Did Bo Fu hear what Lu Hengjun said?"

Sun Ce gave Zhou Yu a blank look and said, "Gong Jin is laughing at Ce, and Ce is not deaf. They are scolding so loudly, how could Ce not hear you?"

"Doesn't Bofu want to go down to the city and fight?" Zhou Yu asked tentatively.

"If the fight can defeat that little thief Lu Heng, Ce will definitely go down to the city to fight immediately, but if he goes out of the city now, won't he fall into the scheme of Lu Heng's little thief, Ce?
But they were really noisy, Ce went down to the city to rest first, if Lu Heng's son attacked the city, he would come to garrison. "

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he went down to the city without looking back. There was indeed no excuse to go out of the city and fight Taishi Ci.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself: "Bo Fu is becoming more and more like a qualified lord, not a fierce general, we are lucky!"

Tai Shici and Hu Yanzan invited to fight for a day, and also scolded for a day, the voices of the dozens of big-headed soldiers were hoarse from cursing, but there was no gap in the closed gate.

At the military meeting in the big tent in the evening, Lu Heng was thinking about Sun Ce's performance today in amazement, seeing a flash of light in Zhuge Liang's mind behind Yu Yunwen, the young lady behind Yu Yunwen.

Then he personally wrote a letter to Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi shoots sharply, shoot these two women's clothes into the city tomorrow, and take this letter by the way."

The letter was still written by Lu Heng himself, but he wrote that these two clothes were given to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. I don’t know if Zhuge Liang’s method in history can have miraculous effects. Couldn’t Zhou Yu and Sun Ce bear it?I, Lu, want to see if I can bear it!
This Sun Ce is not Sima Yi, who asked his soldiers to present this clothes. If Sun Ce became angry, he would kill his soldiers for nothing, something Lu couldn't do.

Lu Heng was talking to Tai Shici about using women's clothes to provoke Sun Ce to fight.

Tai Shici, Lu Dai, He Qi, Dong Xi, Mao Gan, Jin Qi, Zhuge Xuan, and Zhang Hong are new recruits, including Zhuge Liang, Gu Shao, and Lu Yi (the talent training plan encouraged by Lu Heng, several apprentices The boys are all in the army with Master) and looked at Lu Heng in amazement that he could come up with such a damaging method.

But Zhou Tai, Yan Baihu, and Yan Yu, the generals who followed Lu Heng early in the morning, were not used to it.

The big-mouthed Yan Yu was still talking about how his master taught people to swear during the day. Anyway, Lu Heng's image of being wise and martial has been ruined a lot, but he has become closer to the generals.

After joking, he asked Yu Yunwen again: "How long will it take for the military division to build enough trebuchets?"

Yu Yunwen came out and said: "Today's logging preparation materials, etc., already have the scale of craftsmen. In less than [-] days, [-] trebuchets can be made, and the craftsmen are making them day and night."

After hearing this, Lu Heng shook his head and said: "The output is too low, so all the things that don't require skills such as logging and planing, let the sergeants do it, let the craftsmen produce a set of simple parts models, and the craftsmen only need to make precision parts, assemble, processing, etc."

Although Yu Yunwen didn't know what the output meant, but Yu Yunwen's intelligence certainly knew that this method could greatly speed up the speed of manufacturing trebuchets and said: "My lord is a great talent, this can greatly speed up the manufacturing speed. Yun Wenming will handle it according to this method."

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Heng's army was still ready to take turns scolding, but Lu Heng personally brought two women's clothes, one red and one green, and tied them to Tai Shici's arrows.

To be honest, during this process, Tai Shici watched Lu Heng finish all this in a daze.

After busying himself, Lu Heng tied up the letter with his own hands and looked at the dazed Tai Shici and said, "Ziyi, what are you doing in daze, come here and shoot these two clothes into the city."

After finishing speaking, Lu Heng gestured to the way of archery, saying that Tai Shici's supernatural shot is really powerful, he got on his horse and was [-] steps away from the city, and with two 'swish' arrows, he shot the arrow wearing this clothes on the city wall .

Seeing the two arrows flying up the tower, Lu Heng patted the shoulder of Tai Shici who came back to his life contentedly, and said, "Zi Yi has worked hard, continue to fight today, maybe this Sun Ce will come to fight with you soon!" fan."

After speaking, he returned to the big tent contentedly. Lu Heng really wanted to see the expressions of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu when they saw the two clothes, hummed an unknown song and walked away.

Seeing Lu Heng, who was as fierce as Tai Shici, trembled, shaking his head and preparing to deal with the enraged Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu in Yuzhang City was also preparing to supervise the battle, when he suddenly saw that a fierce general coming down from the city was Tai Shici, thinking of Tai Shici's divine shot, he secretly retreated a few steps and hid within the cover of the city wall.

After that, I saw two arrows flying up the tower one after the other and nailed to the wooden board behind. There was something tied to the arrows, one was red and the other was green. Out of curiosity, Zhou Yu asked his soldiers to go forward. have a look.

At this moment, Sun Ce also went up to the city gate and asked Zhou Yu strangely, "Gong Jin, didn't Lu Heng get called out today? Why is it so quiet?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "We haven't called yet today, but that Tai Shici shot two strange arrows upstairs, and Yu has ordered his own soldiers to check it out, and he will find out after a while that Lu Heng's little boy sold it in a gourd. What medicine."

But after waiting for a long time, the soldiers still hadn't come back, Zhou Yu was a little weird!

Probably because Zhou Yu is very strict in commanding the army and has great prestige in the army, it is impossible for him to disobey his orders, but why doesn't his own soldiers come to report now!
After a long time, the soldiers sent out had not come back to report. Zhou Yu's face was a little cold. Just when he was about to call another soldier to take a look, the previous soldier came back tremblingly, holding two things in his hands. .

Out of curiosity, Sun Ce went up to the soldier, but Zhou Yu had no choice but to follow. Sun Ce took the object held by the soldier and opened it to look at it, and found that it was two women's clothes. When I can't figure it out.

Zhou Yu, who was following behind, suddenly changed his face, and his face turned a different shade of red!

Seeing Zhou Yu's face, Zhou Yu's soldiers became even more frightened. Their whole body was trembling and they gritted their teeth and said, "Qi, Qi, ~ General, then, what Tai Shici shot were two women's clothes and a letter." .”

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on the ground, offered the letter with both hands, and waited tremblingly. Zhou Yu didn't make any movements, but Sun Ce stepped forward to open the letter and read it.

Sun Ce, who was reading the letter, also began to change his complexion. Bai Jingying's face became paler and redder, and the hands holding the letter began to tremble.

I saw Lu Heng's letter wrote: "I have heard about Huainan Shuangbi for a long time (Zhou Yu is from Huainan, and Sun Ce didn't conquer Jiangdong, so it can't be called Jiangdong Shuangbi). Sun Bofu and Lu have met several times. They are not as famous as meeting , but he has been friends with Zhou Lang for a long time.

I have long heard that Zhou Lang likes to wear white clothes, with black and vertical hair, slanted and straight eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, sharp-edged silhouette, and a slender, tall but not rough figure. Like an eagle in the dark night, cold and arrogant, but aggressive, she exudes a beauty that looks down on the world in isolation.

The two armies fought with courtesy first and then soldiers. Mr. Lu knew very well that Sun Lang and Zhou Lang were more beautiful than Mr. Lu, so he specially sent two embroidered clothes carefully selected by himself with the best silk and satin. Please accept it. Thank you for your kindness! "

Sun Ce's hand holding the letter was getting tighter and tighter, and it was deeply pierced into the palm of his hand, which was still bleeding without knowing it. His veins burst out, his teeth were crushed, and Sun Ce's hair stood on end in a rage, like an angry lion, about to erupt!
A hand was suddenly pressed on Sun Ce's shoulder, Bo Fu will not take revenge on you, I will not be a human being, but it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, today's situation is not waiting for me, so don't act rashly!
Unbeknownst to everyone, Zhou Yu, who was calmly persuading Sun Ce, had raging anger in his heart and a cold breath in his eyes...
