Chapter 346 Suicidal Siege, Drugging!

Two hours later, Sun's army gathered outside Chengdejun Town, and the four walls launched an attack at the same time.

On the northern city wall, 50,000 troops gathered here and launched a suicidal attack. They didn't even have shield soldiers. They could only hold a small round shield and charged towards the Chengde Army Town in the distance.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Jia are all on this city wall. Only the wall here has a gap, which is destined to be an important offensive place for Sun Army.

Looking at the soldiers below who were charging without fear of death, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh.

"Our Liu family's army is not unique to our brave divisions."

"If they charge desperately like this, our bows and arrows may not last long. Rolling logs, falling rocks, and other city defense equipment are even rarer in number. If they keep fighting like this desperately, let alone three days, we may be afraid that one day I can’t hold on.”

He opened his jaw and frowned. Before he came to Jiujiang, the tips Zhuge Liang gave him contained the specific time for their support to arrive, which was three days later. So as long as they could persist for three days, they would be able to cooperate internally and externally to surround Sun Jian's army. Up, with 350,000 Yellow Turban reserves, plus their 100,000 regular troops, Sun Jun is like fish and meat on the chopping board to them, and they can be cut at will.

"Brothers, kill!"

Under the city wall, the shouts of killing rose to the sky. A dozen centurions who rushed to the front led their men to the front. Before the war began, they were summoned by Sun Jian. Sun Jian told them that as long as they could take the lead to die, they would It can ensure that their families and their descendants will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. If not, not only will they die, but their families will also die.

They were just some stragglers from nearby military towns. Their hometown was based in Yangzhou. They could not escape Sun Jian's control no matter what. They had no choice but to agree to Sun Jian.

However, in order to stabilize them and allow them to lead their men to death with peace of mind, Sun Jian promised them that as long as they died on the battlefield, the Sun family would help them raise their offspring and provide for the elderly, and they would not let their families suffer any unnecessary disasters again. Only then did they agree that they were willing to take their brothers to death.

Two thousand cavalry were all the cavalry among the 50,000 people. After all, it was too difficult to train cavalry. They all came from small counties or ordinary military towns. Sun Jian was shocked enough to be able to gather two thousand cavalry.

Now, these two thousand cavalry have become the first echelon of their siege. They need to quickly advance to the bottom of the city tower, and then try their best to break open the city gate, so that the infantry behind can attack the German town, but they cannot What they know is that they will never reach the bottom of the city tower, let alone break through the huge city gate.

They were only used to give Zhou Yudie experience, and they were destined to die on the battlefield.

After the cavalry entered the shooting range of the archers, the 3,500 archers on the city tower were divided into five groups to shoot. One round of shooting only took a dozen breaths to complete. The cavalry started from entering the shooting range. It would take about sixty breaths to advance until they disappeared under the city tower and within their shooting range, enough for 3,500 archers to complete four rounds of shooting.

How could more than 10,000 arrows and only 2,000 cavalry withstand such a dense rain of arrows? In addition, the shields in their hands were just crudely made standard shields, which could not withstand the attack of powerful archers. , one arrow can penetrate the shield, and the remaining force after the shield penetrates can even kill them.

After three waves of shooting, only a few of the two thousand cavalry remained. Their eyes were full of astonishment. In their hometown, the cavalry could fight one against ten, and one cavalry was even more powerful than their local centurion. They are precious, so they are used to being arrogant, including today's siege. They feel that they have a shield and can break through the city gate casually if they get to the city gate.

But before they died, they didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing, nor did they know that they came here just to die.

A total of 50,000 troops were killed in a suicidal charge in just three hours. At the same time, Zhao Yun and the others had consumed almost half of the arrows in their hands. At the end, nearly 50,000 troops were killed. Thousands of troops rushed to the bottom of the city tower, set up siege ladders, and prepared to attack the city.

The 5,000-strong army consumed the few rolling logs and stones before killing all the 50,000-strong army. In this battle, a full 70,000 arrows were consumed, and their total arrow reserves were only 2. One hundred thousand, and more than half as many logs and stones.

The arrows can be recovered, but now Sun Jun has brought the camp closer to only five miles away. Once they dare to go out of the city to recover the arrows, what awaits them will be either Sun Jun's charge or Sun Jun's arrow rain.

On the city wall, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Jaw looked grave. This suicidal siege method must not be a simple siege, it must have their purpose.

"Is it possible that they just want to use their lives to consume our bows and arrows? There are still 130,000 arrows. They have to spend at least tens of thousands of human lives to fill them. It's too unfair to just exchange human lives for arrows. Treat people like people."

Zhang Fei said angrily, although they were enemy troops, this method was really unacceptable. Zhao Yun shook his head slightly.

"This is definitely not the case. If we just want to consume our arrows, the best way is to use shield soldiers. Those shield soldiers standing in front and letting the arrows rain down are useless. There is no need to kill people. Come and consume it.”

Zhang Jia on the side nodded in the same way.

"Zilong is right. They can completely rely on shield soldiers to consume bows and arrows. How can there be any need for human lives? And when did Jiangdong have such courage that he could take 50,000 troops and die like this?"

"Jiangdong Sun Jian probably only had a total of 300,000 troops, certainly less than 400,000. To just throw away 50,000 lives is a bit too arrogant."

The more Zhao Yun thought about it, the more something was wrong. He really couldn't think of any other reason for them to casually throw 50,000 people to die.

"I feel that these people don't look like regular troops. If you don't say anything else, just look at the armor and weapons they wear, as well as the cavalry mounts. They look too ordinary. They can't be said to be ordinary. They should be said to be crudely made. If Jiangdong had all these soldiers, then we wouldn't be trapped here. I speculate that those people should be some irregular troops. As for why they were allowed to die in vain, it is not yet known. "

Zhang Jia's reasoning was correct, but it was limited to their identities. Why they were willing to die like this, they still didn't know.

"The other three walls were all just feint attacks. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. From the beginning to the end, the total losses on the three walls were less than a thousand soldiers. Now it seems that those soldiers just let them die."

Zhang Fei said fiercely, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"No matter what their thoughts are, if they come, we will kill them!"

"Brother is right, as long as we don't get fooled, we can kill as many as we come."

Zhao Yun said calmly, opening his jaw and holding his chin, thinking.

"Can you first demolish some military houses in the military town and use them to make rolling logs? Some foundations can also be used to make rolling stones."

"Yes, as long as it doesn't affect the people in the city."

"Okay, then I will arrange it now and let them demolish the foundations of some unused houses in the city."

"Next time they attack the city, don't rain arrows. When they start to attack the city, use defensive equipment like rolling stones and logs."

"But what if they attack the city wall and start attacking the city gate? After all, this city gate was installed later. It is incomparable with the previous city gate. It should not be able to stop them for too long."

As soon as Zhao Yun said this, the three of them fell into silence at the same time. They knew nothing about Sun Jun's real purpose and could only make random guesses.

"The soldiers will stop it, and the water will only cover it with soil."

Zhang Fei stood up.

"Since Zhuge Military Advisor said that support will arrive within three days, then we only need to persist for three days. After that, arrows, rolling stones, and rolling logs will be of no use, so these three days, no, two Within the day office, you just need to hold on, even if you run out of arrows, there will be no problem. "

"Brother, what you said makes sense."

Zhao Yun and Zhang Jia both nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhang Fei's statement.

That night, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly blew their horns, and the sound of the horns resounded throughout Chengde Army Town. Sun Jun, who had just killed 50,000 people, not only did not have any rest, but only two hours passed. Then the attack started again in the middle of the night, with another 30,000 troops and another attack on all four walls at the same time.

The only difference between this time and the last time is that in addition to the 30,000 troops on the northern city wall, there are also some sparse charges on other city walls. Although not many, the three walls add up to 10,000 troops.

The 40,000-strong army only lasted for less than an hour and a half before they were all killed. The difference from the last time was that this time, the 40,000-strong army did not have any generals, but were all soldiers. In the afternoon, After all, there are still some third-rate generals.

Two failures provided Zhou Yu with a full attribute bonus of 510% and 735% respectively. So far, Zhou Yu has gained a full 2100% attribute gain.

The whole next day, no soldiers came to attack the city again. Until the evening of the next day, when night was about to fall, another 20,000-strong army began to attack the northern city wall. The 20,000-strong army still Just like last night, the suicidal charge was quickly slaughtered.

This time, it once again provided Zhou Yu with a full 1100% attribute gain. So far, Zhou Yu's indomitable characteristics have provided him with a 3200% bonus. At the same time, all the death row prisoners, stragglers, and militiamen in Yangzhou were all led by Sun Jian. By the time we got here, they had all been killed.

In the Sun Army camp, Sun Jian held a meeting overnight to prepare for the final attack.

In the large account, all the civil servants and generals gathered here. Sun Jian was sitting at the top of the table with a sinister expression. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. On the contrary, Lu Meng, who was sitting in the fourth place below, was smiling.

Sun Jian turned his attention to Lü Meng, and couldn't help but think of the scene except Lü Meng's plan for him that day.

That night, in the big tent, the two sat opposite each other, with Sun Jian smiling.

"Tell me, what is your plan?"

"My lord, before I came down, I observed Chengde and its surroundings and found that Chengde has a fatal flaw, which is lack of water!"

"Short of water? Chengde is so close to the Yangtze River, why is there a lack of water?"

Sun Jian looked at Lu Meng with some confusion. In any case, Chengde has nothing to do with water shortage. Lu Meng smiled mysteriously.

"My lord, the water shortage that my subordinates are talking about is not a lack of water in the true sense, but that they have no running water to cross the border. There is only one water supply canal dug from the Yangtze River to supply water to Chengde. In other words, there is only this one in Chengde. Water supply canal.”

"You mean, we can cut off their water supply? So they have no water to drink?"

"My Lord, this plan is also very good, but it can be better."

"Oh? How better?"

At this moment, Sun Jian was completely led by Lu Meng, and he entered Lu Meng's plan step by step.

"My Lord, this plan to cut off the water supply channel is a good idea, but after cutting off the water supply channel, there will still be some water reserves in the Chengde military town. If they really hold on until the arrival of the big-eared thief, then they will fail. So I think that we should not cut off their water source, but give them drugs."

"Give them drugs? To poison them to death?"

Sun Jian's heart skipped a beat, and Lu Meng hurriedly bowed.

"No, we don't need poison. After all, there are still our people in Chengde Military Town. We can use knockout drugs. As long as they drink the water mixed with knockout drugs, I believe their fighting power will be much worse than before. In addition, they have not had a good sleep in the past few days. If they drink the water mixed with knockout drugs, won't they sleep like crazy? We are waiting for the opportunity. I believe we can easily win the game and the people in the military town will not be harmed. What do you think, lord?"

"Well..., this plan is feasible, but what if the water in the drainage canal flows back and enters the Yangtze River?"

"Don't worry, lord. I have observed it in advance. Chengde is low-lying, and the drainage canal goes from shallow to deep, so it will definitely not flow back."

"That's great."

So, that's why dozens of riders suddenly left the camp at noon that day, and no one knew where they were going. They were going to some nearby military towns to get knockout drugs. After all, no one would bring so many knockout drugs when marching, so they could only look for them.

That's why Sun Jian's laughter resounded through the sky that day.

Lu Meng did contribute a good strategy to Sun Jian, a strategy that would allow them to easily attack Chengde.

Before the meeting tonight, Sun Jian had sent people to pour more than 100 kilograms of knockout drugs into the canal. Now, they only need to wait until the soldiers guarding the city fall asleep in the middle of the night before quietly launching the attack. By then, a group of soldiers who are top-heavy or have fallen asleep directly will not be able to stop their army that is resting and recuperating.

Sure enough, at midnight, there were only a few sporadic fires on the city wall. The soldiers responsible for guarding the city were either lying or lying down, and they were already sleeping soundly. Only from the battlements on the tower could we see a few soldiers lying unconscious on the battlements.

"Gongjin, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies for this siege battle. All three armies are handed over to you for command. Whether we can take down the Chengde military town tonight depends on you."
