Sweep the World

Chapter 423: : Crisis caused by the glass heart

Huan Wen knew that his emotions were not right, but he couldn't control his irritability to calm himself down. ?????·

   "The solution for the present can only be done slowly." Yuan Qiao admits to be a very knowledgeable person, has read a lot of books, and has some ideas on how to attack a strong city in his mind. What he hopes is that Huan Wen can treat him calmly, suggesting: "The catapult smashed a place, or piled up soil to form a high degree of suppression."

   Xincai’s city offensive and defensive battle has undoubtedly turned into a bad battle, Huan Wen took a deep breath and nodded.

   The range of the Han sling is not exaggerated. The farthest range is about two hundred steps. It can be said that the quasi-head is extremely poor.

   If you want to use the catapult, you can only wait for the mound to be built, and then pull the catapult up again.

   After calming down, Huan Wen no longer used the slave army to send him to death meaninglessly. The whole army bought equipment that could be loaded with sand, and the slave army ran up and put it down in a rain of arrows.

   It is not so easy to build one or more towering mounds, during which heavy casualties will be required, and it will take a long time.

   Xin Cai Shoujun was strictly ordered by Chu Pai not to leave the city to fight, and even only one city gate was left behind, or the rest of the city gates were blocked. Obviously, Chu Bao wanted to guard against the arrival of reinforcements that were guarding to the south.

  Han army discovered the actions of Xin Cai Shoucheng Jin army, and after reporting it to Huan Wen, he immediately got angry when he heard the news.

"If we have enough time, Chu Pai's actions are seeking his own way." Huan Wen realized that he couldn't control his anger, clenched his fists and turned to look at Li Kuang: "Let the slave soldiers speed up the pile of dirt, day and night. Stop mounding!"

The Han army swept the surrounding area, and a large number of prisoners of war were escorted to Xincai City every day. Large groups of small groups of prisoners of war became slave soldiers. Although the slave soldiers under Huan Wen's hands were being consumed, the number of slave soldiers in general has been constantly increasing. Increase.

   "I don't believe it anymore!" Huan Wen hated the tortoise shell and said dullly: "Arrange it at any cost and see how long the old tortoise can hide!"

   Chu Pai didn't know what his actions meant to Huan Wen. In fact, he was trying to build a tortoise shell by trying his best to protect himself. He stayed in the middle of the tortoise shell and looked forward to the arrival of reinforcements. His instinct for survival can be said to be extremely correct. At least the small Eastern Jin court officials, including him, basically think it is correct, even if someone disagrees, they will be ignored.

   Xincai’s city offensive and defensive battle continued every day. The slave soldiers on the Han side braved the rain of arrows to pile up dirt, and even some slave soldiers were forced to dig tunnels.

   Seriously speaking, the siege method of digging tunnels is not so fun. The direct consequence of Huan Wen's letting slave soldiers dig tunnels is that every day slave soldiers are buried because of the collapse, and there is not even a tunnel that can be dug into the city.

   To dig tunnels, you need to have enough knowledge of civil engineering. Now, probably only the "School Lieutenant Touching Jin" knows this, but Huan Wen doesn't have the relevant talents at hand. He was simply forced to try everything, and died of hundreds of thousands of slave soldiers or something, so he wouldn't care.

   Until the fifty-eighth day, the first mound higher than the city wall appeared. ?·That was the result of the cost of nearly 3,000 deaths. Huan Wen couldn't wait to let someone arrange for the catapult to be transported, and even the crossbow was on top of the mound.

"Strong crossbowmen, yes, strong crossbowmen too!" Huan Wen looked better, he said: "Our crossbows have a longer range than the Jin army. We should suppress the defenders at the head of the city, slaves. In addition to continuing to build the mound, the soldiers also have to spread the mound under the city wall!"

   The first mound higher than the city wall appeared, and Chu Pai reappeared at the city gate. He looked at the mound in front of him in shock, and for the first time angered: "How could this be!?"

   Zhang Mi frowned immediately. He was a hapless person. Others could go to the drug taking meeting from time to time. He was pushed out to stay in the city gate day and night to defend himself.

  The slave soldiers of the Han army were piling up dirt, and the defending army never stopped firing arrows, but if one group was killed, another group would come again. It was not because the Jin army didn't work hard, but it was simply because the Han army was too desperate.

"It's been less than three months!" Chu Pai used his anger to cover up his fears. He raised his fingers and shouted at the towering mound that couldn't see what was behind: "The first one has already appeared. The city wall is suppressing, should we wait for death next moment! Fortunately, the old man arranged to block the city gate in advance, or...huh!"

   Zhang Mi wanted to scold people very much, because the city gate was blocked, or how likely he could only shoot arrows instead of going out to harass and destroy. He had never been optimistic about the future of Xin Caicheng... wrong, because he had never had any confidence in Chu Bai's command of the defense of the Three County.

  It’s all because Zhang Mi knows what the mutual flattery between families is. Even a pig can become a so-called great poet, literary magnate... and even a famous general. In the past, many so-called famous generals were not on the battlefield. Once they were on the battlefield, they basically dragged their subordinates to death, but the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would still continue to build momentum for someone, and the army would be destroyed again and again.

   Despite his inner dissatisfaction and lack of confidence in the future, Zhang Mi did not intend to fight Chu Pai hard. Like many indigenous families south of the Yangtze River, he would endure silently and had to endure.

The situation quickly changed. It was the strong crossbowmen of the Han army who went up to the mound and fired against the defending Jin army... It is not actually the case that the crossbowmen used to remember the range advantage. A burst of shots from the defending Jin army caused Chu Pai and others who had been staying at the city gate to watch, had to go down the city gate.

   Xincai Chengtou's garrison was suppressed, and the slave soldiers on the Han army's side would die at any time without risking arrow rain. Slave soldiers are enthusiastic and unceasingly transporting soil. Their small lives are guaranteed as part of it. Another reason is that they can not go on the field for ten days after finishing their work, and their food will also be improved.

Slack and chi is the way to govern the army. Huan Wen did not use slave soldiers indiscriminately. The slave soldiers who completed the task will be treated kindly. Even the slave soldiers with great merits can be promoted to the servant army. The slave soldiers will appear to be miserable. The reason is not a system problem.

With the first completed mound, there will soon be a second and a third mound. The formation of each mound higher than the city wall indicates the loss of the range advantage of the defending Jin army’s long-range attack, and it will gradually become towering. Unless the slave soldiers of the Han army try to climb the ladder to attack the city in the place of the mound, or else you will not see the Jin army defending the city at all.

It is also difficult for the Jin army as the defensive side. Their strong crossbows have suffered a loss in range. The Han army’s catapults and crossbows will also be smashed into the mound. . Such changes in the situation caused the morale of the Jin army defending the city to gradually become sluggish, especially when the Han army slaves successfully climbed to the top of the city, and even a mound of soil was slowly forming on the side of the city wall.

The slave soldiers who climbed to the top of the city did not succeed in occupying the city wall section. They faced Chu Bao let people also set up a commanding height in the city, such as a wooden high platform or the same mound. Seeing the enemy on the city wall, they shot .

   "Damn old tortoise!" Huan Wen couldn't believe that the situation would drag on like this. He had thought that being able to climb the city wall would herald victory. He asked in an extremely low tone, "So that is to say, we will not only capture the city wall, but also attack those behind..." He paused, almost gritted his teeth: "Obstacle?"

   Yuan Qiao looked at Chu Pai a little bit high, and as an ordinary person, he would probably only target the city wall as a battlefield for repeated battles. He didn't expect Chu Pai to be able to play such a hand.

   However, it was not Chu Pai, the governor of the state, who made those famous names. It was Zhang Mi who had seen bad things and cherished his life.

However, regardless of whose idea it was, the credit or achievement is actually counted on the head of the governor Chu Pa, as he racked his brains and hard work under his hands, the credit goes to the leader who didn’t know what he did.* *all. If the recipient of the credit can eat meat, it is conscientious to dew a little soup, and if the recipient eats a single meal, the people under his hand have nothing to do with it.

   Zhang Mi didn't think that the city wall would be a good battlefield. He made a new fortification in the first moment, and the next moment he was questioned by Chu Bai.

   already panicked, Chu Pai's anger was not small, and he scolded Zhang Mi why he didn't guard the city wall strictly.

   Zhang Mi went to explain in person, gave a detailed account of the battle situation, and explained the necessity of establishing a new line of defense, and even produced actual results.

"It's wrong to give up the city wall!" Chu Pai was finally out of the mood for a banquet on the last few days. Of course he didn't eat Wu Shi San, but it was because he didn't take drugs that he came out of the state of drunken life and dream. There is no longer the kind of inexplicable state. Indifferent. He stared at Zhang Mi very sternly, and said: "The city wall cannot be thrown away, absolutely not!"

   Zhang Mi was already on the verge of an explosion, choking his voice: "The Han army’s powerful crossbows have a long range, and they have the advantages of crossbows, bed crossbows, and stone dump trucks. We die as many as we go up, and the army will be mutiny!"

   Chu Pai was stunned by a choke. He looked left and right as if he was trying to get the support of someone, but the people present watched his nose, nose and heart.

"The city wall section is no longer enough to defend. Defending will only cause death and injury to soldiers in vain!" After Zhang Mi's anger broke out, he was also a little afraid, turned into a flattering face to Chu Bai, and said: "The defense of the city still has to rely on the army to preserve limited strength. There is the power to defend the city. The city wall cannot be guarded. Our army can rely on the complex terrain in the city, and even build up defenses layer by layer. The loss of the city wall does not mean that the city is lost, the king!"

   In fact, Chu Pai, who was choked, had a guilty conscience. He knew himself, and he was not as tall as the military, so that he was a little bit embarrassed just now. He saw Zhang Mi's attitude soften, the original guilty attitude disappeared, replaced by a shame of being insulted and an anger of frustrated self-esteem.

   "You!" Chu Pai wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. He couldn't do anything about the situation that seemed to have become unfavorable. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Then use your opinion."

   At that moment, Zhang Mi not only didn't let Chu Pai feel relieved, but looked at Chu Pai with a smile on his face.

   The flustered Zhang Mi respectfully retreated. After returning to his garrison area, he found a confidant and asked: "Where is the letter of persuasion shot by the Han army before?"

  The family members will bring family private soldiers when they go out. Private soldiers are used as personal force and they are also doing some secret work.

The Han army besieged Xincai, and Huan Wen could persuade him to surrender in addition to a strong attack. He was persuading Chu Pai to persuade anyone in the city. The price offered was actually very good, but Chu Pai did not consider surrendering as the head of the country. There is no thought of surrendering either.

   At the beginning, I don’t know if Huan Wen deliberately or ignored it. He didn’t tell the truth about the Yangtze River to the new Cai Shoujun and learned that the rest of the news was also in a state of lockdown. Otherwise, the new Cai Shoucheng Jinjun should have panicked. The change of the matter was when Huan Wen felt that it was not good to gnaw down Xin Caicheng, or he had hoped to wipe out instead of persuading him to surrender, so that he could write a big note on his account, and later in order to hit the morale of Xin Cai's defenders. Only then passed those things into the city.

   Zhang Mi has read the Han Jun’s letter of persuasion to surrender before ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ I will look at the content again, but compared with the previous mentality, it is very different. In his letter of persuasion to surrender, he said that the Yangtze River had been firmly grasped by the Han fleet and some would be suspicious. It should be known that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago without a sharp navy. He believed that Nanyang County was lost. The Han army gave up after capturing Nanyang County before, and it is not unusual for him to attack again.

   Zhang Mi was watching and waiting, while the fighting on the other side was still going on fiercely. He was waiting for feedback from his confidant, what Chu Bao would do directly affect what he would do.

   Zhang Mi held the letter of persuasion from the Han army to surrender, still thinking about the response in his mind:

  'S confidant returned and told Zhang Mi: "Some officers in the army have been replaced."

   That sentence seemed to be a boom in Zhang Mi's mind, and he said startledly: "Although it was expected, I didn't expect the head of the country to be so eager."

The self-esteem of high-ranking people is much weaker than imagined. When facing dangerous situations, they are even more glass-hearted. Chu Pai was yelled for a while and felt very embarrassed. He completely accepted Zhang Mi's suggestion, that is, to build layers in the city. The fortifications are used for resistance, but it does not mean that he will not deal with Zhang Mi.

   "...As for what the Yangtze River is firmly controlled by the Han army, the old man doesn't believe it at all!"

   Chu Pai found countless reasons to deal with Zhang Mi, including that the section of the wall that Zhang Mi was responsible for was empty, but the problem was not only the section of the wall that Zhang Mi was responsible for, but the other sections with towering mounds were not the same. He came to a ‘selflessness’ to deal with everything, no one can tell whether it was because of personal enmity, the problem is that Zhang Mi is really unlucky.

   "The old man firmly believes that the reinforcements will arrive soon!"
