Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 811 This is a conspiracy

Siege with soil is naturally not a common method of siege.

First of all, it takes a lot of manpower to dig the soil, and second, it takes a lot of time to pile up the soil, which will naturally consume a lot of food and put a lot of pressure on the siege party.

But it has to be said that mounding the city is also a very effective means of siege, which can completely make the towering city wall lose its defensive significance.

But now that Zhu Wei has sufficient troops, and at the same time can recruit a large number of young and strong civilians to help dig the soil, Zhu Wei can really use this method to forcibly attack the city.

Therefore, Zhu Wei's tactic was to send troops to attack the city in a false way, and directly block the four gates of Puyang City from the outside, so that Cao Cao was completely trapped in the city, and could no longer send troops out of the city to fight back.

In this way, although Zhu Weijun surrounded Puyang City in all directions and sent troops to attack the four sides of Puyang City at the same time, in fact, after blocking the four gates of Puyang City, the troops originally placed around Puyang City can be deployed at will. Without the army, it is enough to maintain the offensive against Puyang City.

As long as Zhu Weijun can ensure that Cao Jun can't leave the city, he can use siege towers, thunderbolt catapults and archers to adopt long-range suppression tactics against Puyang City, and there is no need to send troops to forcibly attach to the city.

Zhu Wei doesn't really know how to spend his troops on unnecessary ants' siege tactics. What Zhu Wei has to do now is on the east side of Puyang City, let the cave carts protect the soldiers and transport the sandbags up, and do their best on the east side of the city. It is enough to build a mound slope with piled up soil, so that the army can directly rush to the top of the Puyang city wall.

Of course, in order to speed up the pile of soil, Zhu Wei even threw some cave carts directly under the city wall as pedestals, and then piled new sand bags on top of it, even if Cao Jun poured kerosene from the city wall and set it on fire. , It will not affect the progress of the pile of soil.

It can be said that this is a kind of conspiracy. Even if Cao Cao knows what Zhu Wei is going to do, he has no way to counter it.

Perhaps what Cao Cao can do is to abandon the outer city wall, and then build a second city wall defense line in Puyang City, so that Zhu Weijun has to face a new city wall after climbing the outer city wall.

But building a city wall is much more difficult than building a mound slope.

This is equivalent to building an inner city. Even if Cao Cao has the heart, it cannot be realized in a short time.

Of course, Zhu Wei used this time-consuming method of piling up soil to attack the city, and another idea was to take the opportunity to encircle the points to fight for reinforcements. It can be said that Zhu Wei was blocking the four gates of Puyang City, so that Cao Cao could not go out directly from the gates. After the army, the troops surrounding Puyang City can be mobilized at any time to deal with Yuan Jun, the Gaolan's subordinate sent by Yuan Shao to support Puyang City.

For Zhu Wei, the more Yuan Shao's army can be eliminated now, the more obstacles will be reduced when he fights Yuan Shao in the future.

Therefore, in the battle against Puyang City, Zhu Weijun obviously fought in a leisurely manner, showing a very patient look.

On the one hand, Zhu Wei asked people to excavate earth and rocks on the periphery. The sand and soil can be packed and transported to Puyang City as the basic material for filling the mounds, and the excavated rocks and gravels can be used as thunderbolt catapults. Stone bullets are used to suppress the counterattack of Cao Jun's soldiers on the city wall.

In this way, the thunderbolt catapults kept throwing stones every day, combined with the suppressive shooting of Cao Jun soldiers on the city wall by the archers on the arrow tower with rockets, for Cao Jun soldiers on the city wall, every day was a hellish doomsday.

Although there were also counterattacks by Cao Jun's archers on the city wall, Cao Cao also ordered people to build catapults, which were placed on the city wall to counterattack outwards condescendingly.

But Zhu Weijun's thunderbolt catapult has a certain degree of flexibility and can change its position at any time, so that it will not be easily destroyed by Cao Jun's catapult on the city wall.

At the same time, Zhu Weijun has cultivated a special trebuchet measuring hand. With the help of the general observation of the parabola, the accuracy of the stones thrown by Zhu Weijun's thunderbolt catapult can be greatly improved.

Facing Cao Jun's catapults on the city wall in this way, Zhu Weijun can often concentrate several catapults on the city wall and bombard the positions of Cao Jun's catapults on the city wall, thus destroying Cao Jun's strongest defense method on the city wall.

In this way, without the counterattack of Cao Jun's catapult, Zhu Weijun's long-range siege methods are more oppressive.

At the same time, Cao Jun has never had any effective countermeasures against Zhu Weijun's action of constructing a slope in front of the city wall, so as the slope of the mound rises up to the city wall a little bit, it is like a progress bar telling Cao Jun who is defending the city Soon, Zhu Weijun could directly kill the city wall along the slope of the mound.

On the other hand, Zhu Weijun was also outside the four gates of Puyang City, and every day he sent loud soldiers to persuade the soldiers of Cao Jun in Puyang City to surrender.

This is like the psychological offensive when the People's Liberation Army surrounded the city in later generations. Zhu Weijun shouted loudly to Cao Jun's soldiers on the city wall every day. Zhu Weijun is invincible. Now Puyang City has been completely besieged. You should surrender early, and if you surrender, you can go home and live a good life.

At the same time, these loud soldiers also directly told the soldiers of the Cao army guarding the city that Zhu Weijun would soon fill in a slope that could directly kill the city wall. At that time, Puyang City would no longer be able to stop Zhu Wei's army from entering the city, so Puyang It is impossible for the city to protect them for a long time. It is better to surrender now. Anyway, it can be rewarded by the Regent King Ming.

Although this is only a psychological impact, but after listening to it a lot every day, it will inevitably leave some thoughts in the hearts of Cao Jun's soldiers, so the morale of Cao Jun's soldiers in Puyang City is indeed becoming more and more depressed.

Although Zhu Weijun did not take advantage of his strength to launch a wave-like attack on Puyang City, the current method made Cao Jun's soldiers even more fearful.

Originally, Cao Cao still wanted to take advantage of the advantage of defending the city to consume a large number of Zhu Weijun's siege forces. Then, when Zhu Weijun was almost exhausted, Cao Cao could use Yuan Shaojun's reinforcements to break Zhu Weijun's siege from inside and outside, and then repel Zhu Weijun's attack. attack.

However, Zhu Wei didn't play like this with Cao Cao at all. Zhu Wei was going to pave a way to enter Puyang City directly. At that time, Cao Cao's advantage in defending the city would be resolved by [-]%. troops.

To be honest, Cao Cao really felt that he had created a prison for himself in the face of Zhu Weijun's siege methods.

Let's not talk about how Cao Cao was thinking about how to crack Zhu Weijun's siege methods in Puyang City, but Zhu Wei quickly discovered Yuan Jun, Gao Lan's subordinate, sent by Yuan Shao to support Puyang City through the game map of the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, after discussing with Jia Xu, Zhu Wei mobilized Huang Zhong and Tai Shici's army to deal with Yuan Shao's army...
