Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Yu Jin continued: "The archers are ready, and the sword and shield soldiers step forward. After defeating the opponent, they must not catch up."

"No!"

He has to follow the opponent's footsteps, otherwise the cavalry will suffer heavy losses.

"Kill it!"

"Puff puff!"

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The arrows shot by Yu Ji's soldiers did not cause much damage.

Are these soldiers wearing the equipment they bought?

No wonder there are only more than [-] people here, so they have confidence.

He planned to use ordinary arrows to intimidate the opponent, but he didn't expect that instead of scaring the opponent, it made them even more crazy.

"Change arrows!"

"Puff puff!"

After Yu Jin's soldiers changed their arrows, they only shot one round before Yuan Shu's cavalry rushed forward. However, out of four or five hundred cavalry, there were less than 300 left.

The two sides fought for less than a quarter of an hour, and the opponent's general led dozens of cavalry and fled back.

Yu Jin didn't even think about killing them, he needed them to guide him.

At noon, all Yu Jin's soldiers and horses had crossed the river, and he asked his soldiers to follow the footprints on the ground and slowly move towards Zhongli City.

"Put branches on both sides of the road for me to mark the cavalry behind."

"General Qi, the soldiers in several camps around Zhongli seem to have withdrawn to Zhongli City."

Yu Jin was overjoyed, it was better this way, so that he would not have to divide his troops to attack again.

When he came to Zhongli City, Yu Jin was depressed. Although the wall of Zhongli City was only three feet high, the width of the moat was ten feet wide.

It's so fucking ruthless, digging such a wide moat, getting out of the city is a problem.

Yu Jin took a prisoner and asked, "How did you get in such a wide moat?"

"General Qi, the moat is ten feet wide and five feet deep. If you want to enter the city, you must have a boat."

"ferry?"

Except for the place corresponding to the city gate, which is slightly lower, the water surface in other places can be a foot high from the ground, so even if there is a boat, it will take a lot of effort.

"The king of Chen gave Mr. Yuan an order that if the enemy army is large in number, he will defend the city to the death; if the enemy army is not large, he will lead his troops to defeat it."

"Master Yuan? Yuan Shu's son?"

"No, he is Yuan Shu's younger brother!"

Yu Jin thought about it carefully. He has fought for so long, and he has never seen such a cowardly person.

To dig the moat like this, I am afraid that only Yuan Shu can do it in this world.

It is five feet deep, and it is unrealistic to fill the moat. Looking around, it is bare, and the nearest forest is dozens of miles away.

The other party must have cut down all the trees in advance. This is really planning to stay in the city and never come out.

Yu Jin continued to ask, "Do you know the way to Yinling?"

"This little guy doesn't know. The soldiers here only know the way to the camps on the bank of the Huaihe River. There are many traps to the Yinling. Only Yuan Yin and his personal guards know the way."

This is the legendary impregnable soup?

Yu Jin informed Li Dian to let him cross the river directly, and they had to discuss how to take the city.

If they can't open it here, Lujiang County will have no chance to cross the river.

Li Dian came to Yu Jin's camp and complained: "These grandsons have dug the road like this, it's really embarrassing."

Yu Jin said: "Now we must find a way to lure the enemies out of the city, otherwise, staying behind us will always be a hidden danger."

Li Dian thought for a while and suggested, "How about we move all the ferries here?"

Li Zheng denied: "This is not appropriate. The moat is only ten feet wide, and the opponent's bow and arrow can be shot. They will definitely not give the opportunity and throw the ferry into the moat."

"The surrounding area has been cleaned by the opponent, and we couldn't find a bigger stone. The trebuchet is useless, so we can only attack with a longbow."

Yu Jin looked at the two of them and asked for their opinions, and they both nodded at the same time.

Since it is impossible to attack by force, we can only burn the city first.

"Order the Longbow Team to prepare and start shooting rockets towards the city in the evening. I want to see how long these grandsons will hide."

The rockets fired continuously for less than half an hour, and the generals were amazed that there was no fire in the city. What is the situation?

Yu Jin found a soldier and asked, "Are there any wooden houses in the city?"

"General Qi, except for the soldiers, there are no common people in the city. All the people are in Yinling City, so the construction in Zhongli City was demolished by Mr. Yuan, and simple barracks were built with mud and stones."

"..."

Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Li Zheng wiped off a cold sweat, this is so fucking awesome.

"Where's their ferry?"

The prisoner replied: "They are all simple rafts, piled up behind the city wall!"

Yu Jin said helplessly: "This city cannot be attacked for the time being, we must take Yinling as soon as possible."

"I would like to inform the generals that a young man came from outside the tent, claiming to be sent by King Wei."

"Oh? Let him in quickly."

"My lord, Zhuge Liang, have met several generals!"

Yu Jin asked respectfully, "What is Mr. Zhuge doing here?"

Zhuge Liang's status forced him to be respectful. This is His Majesty's student, and the only student.

"I'm here to defeat the enemy for the generals!"

"Break the enemy?"

Everyone looked at him in surprise, what kind of enemy can a little boy defeat, can you carry my spear?

"But Your Majesty has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

"No, His Majesty let me play freely!"

free play...

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy still knows how to play freely?This is a military camp, but if you want to fight, you will die.

"Tell me!"

If what they say is reasonable, they will think about it. If what they say is not reasonable, then let him stay in the barracks and give him some credit at that time.

Zhuge Liang coughed twice, and said old-fashionedly: "Zhongli City is as solid as gold, and it has no flaws. It is not advisable to attack by force."

You are not talking nonsense, if we can attack by force, why are we still sitting here.

Everyone has no hope for Zhuge Liang.

"I have a way to make the opponent's moat useless."

"What method?" Yu Jin asked perfunctorily.

"The generals need to dismantle all the ferries, and then prepare twenty three-foot-long wooden stakes for me. I can pave a road for the generals outside the other side's city gate."

Yu Jin frowned. Even if the wooden stakes were tied together, they could barely reach under the other side's city gate. With only the width of a few wooden stakes, they would not be able to stand a few people.

Facing the densely packed archers on the city wall, even if they are not shot to death by the opponent's arrows, they will be burned to death by the rockets.

Seeing that the few people were indifferent, Zhuge Liang said displeasedly: "I have the master's order!"

Chapter 471 Zhuge Liang Tries His Skills

In one night, Yu Jin prepared the supplies Zhuge Liang needed for him.

The trees that were felled before were directly used as ferries, and now they are just in use.

Yu Jin looked at the trees in the camp and said, "Young Master Zhuge, everything you need is ready for you."

Several people looked at Zhuge Liang meaningfully, and they were about to watch Zhuge Liang's performance next, and if the performance failed, it didn't have much to do with them.

Zhuge Liang nodded in satisfaction. The materials Yu Jin had prepared for him had exceeded his needs.

"General Yu, please collect all the ropes in the army."

Yu Jin looked at his lieutenant general and said, "Recruitment!"

"promise!"

Zhuge Liang looked at Yu Jin and asked, "How wide is the corresponding gap outside the city gate?"

"Twelve feet!"

Zhuge Liang picked twenty stumps of the same size and said, "Put these stumps horizontally outside the city, with a distance of one zhang in between."

Yu Jin summoned hundreds of soldiers, and according to Zhuge Liang's orders, they were thirty feet away from the city gate, which was barely within reach of the opponent's bow and arrow, but it was hardly powerful.

Yu Jin asked in bewilderment: "There are still thirty feet away from the city wall. How can we attack the city gate at such a distance?"

Zhuge Liang smiled meaningfully, and said, "Who said I was going to attack the city gate, didn't you bring a siege crossbow?"

"Even if the opponent doesn't have a city gate, we can't get through!"

Zhuge Liang didn't explain to him, and then ordered several of his personal guards to put the raft on the horizontal tree stump, and then used rivets to make a large raft with a width of five feet and a length of fifteen feet.

Li Dian asked with contempt: "Such a big raft, do you want our soldiers to carry it under the city gate?"

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes at him, have you lost your mind?

It's so heavy, can you carry it?

Zhuge Liang said: "General, please assemble the siege crossbow!"

"How many?" Yu Jin asked.

"One is enough, put it behind the raft, facing the city gate!"

Li Dian reminded: "Don't try to shoot down the city wall with a siege crossbow, we only have six arrows, it's impossible!"

Zhuge Liang borrowed a few soldiers, dug two deep pits less than five feet away from the moat, and buried a few wooden stakes in each.

The head of the big raft was cut into a radian, and the rope was braided into two thicker than the thighs, and then tied to the back end of the raft.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Generals, after the rope is wrapped around the stake, it will be considered complete."

Zhuge Liang made them a simple roller skating, using two wooden stakes as the fulcrum, as long as the rope is pulled in opposite directions, the raft can be sent to the city gate.

Attacking a city certainly doesn't need to be so complicated, but Yuan Shu widened the moats of most cities for his own safety.

Filling the moat would not work at all. If you want to break into the city, you must find a way.

Yu Jin complained: "It's been a busy day, and you just made this thing?"

"General, there are many rivers in Yangzhou. Yuan Shu widened the moat of the city. It is unrealistic to attack by force. My method will allow your soldiers to reach the gate of the city with ease."

Li Dian hurriedly asked: "You mean, let the soldiers pull the two ropes and send this big raft to the city gate?"

"You can't teach children!"

Li Dian's head was full of black lines, you are so young, you dare to teach me a lesson.

"We have so many horses, why do we need people to pull them?"

Zhuge Liang described the specific action plan to them, obviously admiring Zhuge Liang.

This method can be imagined, as expected of His Majesty's student.

Zhuge Liang smiled badly, and said: If anyone is not afraid of death, he can climb onto the raft, and when he is delivered to the city gate, he can occupy the city gate as soon as possible.

Several people wiped off a cold sweat. If something goes wrong, is there still life?

However, there were still some people who sacrificed themselves for military exploits. Yu Jin gathered more than 30 people and asked them to sit on a raft with shields.

"My lord, look, what the hell is Wei Guo doing to make such a big raft?"

"Can they lift it?"
