Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 663 Digging a Breach

In Liu Bei's mind, he could see the situation clearly. If Zhu Wei really controlled Pengcheng, he would definitely seize the whole of Xuzhou.

Now that the Xiaopei he occupies is so close to Xuzhou Pengcheng, Zhu Wei will definitely not let him go easily, and he will not be allowed to live in Xiaopei safely by then.

At the same time, Liu Bei is not willing to be sandwiched between Zhu Wei and Cao Cao to make sandwich cakes, so he "eats jujube pills". No matter which side sends troops, if he refuses to surrender, he will be the first target to be eliminated.

And of course Liu Bei is not willing to surrender to Zhu Wei and Cao Cao easily, then he will never have a bright future, so if Zhu Wei's army comes, his Xiao Pei will definitely not be able to resist it, and it is even more impossible for Cao Cao to send troops to rescue him.

Why don't you blog now, if you really can't do it, you can run away.

At this moment, Liu Bei is also deliberately alarmist to Zang Ba, just wanting to pull Zang Ba to join Yuan Shao together, anyway, now that Zang Ba is already attached to him, then it is best for him to be in the north of Xuzhou with the support of Yuan Shao Mount Tai, Langye, and Beihai have a foothold.

Then Liu Bei still has the opportunity to spy on Xuzhou. With the support of Yuan Shao, he can use the reputation and contacts he left in Xuzhou in the past to seek opportunities to seek Xuzhou.

Zang Ba also thought about it after hearing the words, and felt that he might really want to try the fighting power of Zhu Wei's army. If Zhu Wei's army is as strong as the legend, then he can find a way to surrender, as long as he can keep his territory in Taishan County. .

"Forget it, Mr. Xuande, this time someone is taking a risk. In the future, Mr. Xuande must not let someone down!"

Zang Ba actually guessed a bit of Liu Bei's thoughts, but he would not show it at the moment. Anyway, he still had his old nest in Taishan County for many years. The worst he could do was to escape back to the mountains and become a thief.

Liu Bei and Zang Ba reached an agreement again, just to prevent Zhang Liao from attacking again. After spending a night in the open air in the ruins of this camp, the two simply led the army to abandon the camp here, and moved all the supplies with the army. , Came directly to station outside the north gate of Pengcheng.

Afterwards, Liu Bei and Zang Ba actually stationed their army at Zhang Liao's original camp. Although there was only one black ground left after being burned, it was still a good camp.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Zang Ba spread out their nearly [-] troops here to protect their remaining food, grass and supplies, and then began to send troops to fill the moat of Pengcheng and launch an attack on Pengcheng.

Although Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camps were burnt down a lot during Zhang Liao's previous attack on the camp, but now Liu Bei still uses the remaining carriages and other vehicles to transform them into some simple siege carts.

In this way, Liu Bei can send troops to safely fill the moat outside the north gate of Pengcheng. This is another siege tactic Liu Bei learned from Zhu Weijun.

Then Liu Bei also used the protection of the cave car to dig up the city wall of Pengcheng, urging his auxiliary soldiers and young men to dig the city wall almost day and night, and the efficiency was not very slow.

Although Lu Lingqi's troops guarding Pengcheng also launched some defensive counterattacks, Liu Bei and Zang Ba's soldiers were protected by bridal carts. Soldiers, there is really nothing to do.

Afterwards, when these cave carts filled the moat and came close to the city wall, the falling rocks, rolling logs, and kerosene on the city wall could pose some threats to the cave carts, but Liu Bei was determined to dig the city, so at the beginning He also didn't care about the consumption of the cave car, but just sent it to the wall to dig holes, and finally dug a cave that could accommodate people at the bottom of the city wall.

In this way, Liu Bei's auxiliary soldiers and young men hid in it to dig, which made the defenders on the city wall helpless.

Lu Lingqi knew that after Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army dug the city, they could only build a new wall in the city, lest Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army could directly enter Pengcheng after digging through the city wall.

So the war stalemate like this, waiting for the result of the digging of the city by the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Zang Ba.

However, the digging tactics of Liu Bei and Zang Ba really took a lot of time, so Lu Lingqi was not too worried. When Zhu Wei's reinforcements came, she would naturally not be afraid of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army.

During this process, Zhang Liao also led his troops to join Song Xian's troops, and secretly observed the movements of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army, looking for an opportunity to make a surprise attack.

However, at this time Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army gathered together. Although they did not have the protection of the camp, they also carefully arranged scouts around them.

If Zhang Liao wants to lead troops to sneak attack, he will be noticed by Liu Bei and Zang Ba from a long distance away, so he is ready to face the battle, but the troops controlled by Zhang Liao are not really comparable to the more than 2 main forces controlled by Liu Bei and Zang Ba fight.

Therefore, Zhang Liao could only continue to spy around, but he still couldn't find any chance to sneak attack again.

Three days passed quickly, and Xu Shu's soldiers and horses who set out from Guangling finally came to Pengcheng, and Zhang Liao's troops also joined Xu Shu's army on the outskirts of Pengcheng.

However, Xu Shu brought more than 4000 soldiers and horses. Even if he joins forces with Zhang Liao's army, it will not pose much threat to Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army.

When Xu Shu learned about the situation in Pengcheng, he didn't intend to unite with Zhang Liao's army to attack Liu Bei and Zang Ba's allied forces. Anyway, Liu Bei and Zang Ba are still digging the city wall of Pengcheng, and there will not be many changes for a while.

Xu Shu had already known through the military newspaper that Zhu Wei had sent the main force of Taishi Ci's Divine Arrow Battalion to Pengcheng, so Xu Shu and Zhang Liao continued to station in the outer area of ​​Pengcheng, waiting for Tai Shici's main force to arrive.

The current battle situation can't be solved by any strategy, it can only rely on the head-to-head confrontation between the armies of both sides.

Now Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces are stronger than Zhang Liao's and Xu Shu's coalition forces in terms of military strength and combat effectiveness. If they attack easily, they may not have much chance of winning.

Once the battle is unfavorable, it will increase the morale of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces.

Therefore, even if Zhang Liao and Xu Shu wanted to attack, they had to choose the right time, for example, when Liu Bei and Zang Ba launched an attack on Pengcheng, so that they could create a pincer attack on the Liu Bei and Zang Ba coalition forces, and maybe there was a chance of winning .

After another two days like this, the excavation of Pengcheng by Liu Bei and Zang Ba's coalition forces seemed to have some effect, and it actually dug part of Pengcheng's north wall.

In fact, this was the accident caused by the auxiliary soldiers driven by Liu Bei and Zang Ba, who did not know any excavation techniques, but just covered their heads with water to wet the rammed earth city wall and excavated the passage.

These auxiliary soldiers and young men brought by Liu Bei and Zang Ba used hoes and shovels to dig into the city wall. Although they dug out a passage as high as one person and as wide as three people in the rammed earth wall, they did not do anything to the passage. Reinforcement measures.

Therefore, as the passage deepened, the entire passage collapsed, but it also caused the city wall to collapse, and a breach appeared...
