"Huh...huh...!" Rows and rows of soldiers gathered on this flat terrain!
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there are no boundaries. What's more, hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered here, so densely packed that you can't see the edge at a glance.
Facing so many enemies, it is a huge challenge for everyone, let alone fighting, just standing here steadily.
After all, looking at the hundreds of thousands of dark enemies ahead is a huge test for a person's psychological quality.
It had been more than 10 days since the last time Xiang Yu came to challenge. After more than ten days of calm, Chi You was finally ready for everything, and he was about to start a formal attack.
In the last challenge, it seemed that Xiang Yu was defeated in the end, and the Yellow Turbans also lost three thousand troops. But for Chi You, he won that battle.
Three thousand troops and horses are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the Yellow Turbans. Let alone three thousand, even if 30,000 troops and horses are sacrificed, it will not have a big impact on the Yellow Turbans.
Although the Yellow Turbans lost three thousand soldiers and horses, the Han army lost four generals. Except for Yu She who was the first to go on the road, the other three were all ranked high among the Han army.
of.
Although the dead Cao Hong, Cao Bin and Zu Mao are nothing to the current Li Xiang, they are even so-called small roles. But it is different for Cao Cao and Sun Jian who are still in the preparation stage of starting a business. Apart from emotional factors,
These people can be regarded as their right-hand men.
Not only that, apart from beheading generals, what Chi You is really happy about today is that Xiang Yu finally agreed to stay in the Yellow Turban for the time being.
Everything is just as Chi You thought at the beginning. With Xiang Yu's arrogance, if he loses, he will definitely think about winning back. Moreover, Xiang Yu now has not only failed to challenge Xing Tian, but also has Jiang Song like him.
A rival.
Speaking of Jiang Song, Chi You also had a headache. Now among the Han troops, there was Xing Tian first and then Jiang Song, but Chi You was the only one among the Yellow Turbans from beginning to end.
With the abilities of these two people, Chi You would have to go all out against one of them. And if the two of them join forces, Chi You will definitely lose, and there is a high probability that his life will be in danger.
Although Xiang Yu is still among the Yellow Turbans to help them, Xiang Yu is not a member of the Yellow Turbans after all. And if Xiang Yu leaves one day, how will the Yellow Turbans resist Xing Tian and Jiang Song.
As for Xiang Yu, he is not stupid. Although he agreed to continue to help the Yellow Turban Army for a while, he was not really willing to work for the Yellow Turban Army in vain. Although Xiang Yu agreed to help the Yellow Turban Army, he was limited to helping the Yellow Turban Army deal with Xing Tian or Jiang Song.
Just one of them.
In the past, Xiang Yu was invincible in martial arts and regarded everyone in the world as if they were nothing. But now, after seeing Chi You, Jiang Song, and Xing Tian who has not yet taken action, although Xiang Yu has not gotten rid of his arrogance, at least he will not
He naively believed that he could conquer the world with his own courage alone.
From the present point of view, Xiang Yu's failure this time has not only benefited the Han Dynasty and Chi You, but also Xiang Yu himself has benefited a lot. At least now Xiang Yu has begun to make some changes.
…
It was the first time they arrived, and the soldiers were already exhausted after long-distance marching, so Chi You did not immediately start to attack the city. After arranging basic defenses, Chi You observed Chen Liu's precautions from a distance, one man and one horse.
Chi You looked directly at Chenliu City with a pair of tiger eyes. This time, Chi You was bound to win against Chen Liu. Moreover, he gained wisdom after suffering a setback. The mistakes he made last time in Jizhou, Chi You would not make again this time.
Chi You frowned slightly while observing the situation around Chenliucheng. Today's Chenliucheng city defense measures, due to the large-scale repairs by the Han army, are completely different from the previous Chenliucheng.
If someone had seen what Chenliucheng looked like before, and then looked at the condition of this one, he would even wonder if this was the same city.
The city wall alone was directly raised by nearly two feet by the Han army. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the height was as much as 24 meters. In other words, the city wall of Chenliu City alone was directly raised by nearly 5 feet.
As many as three and a half meters. You must know that the height of the original Chenliu City wall was less than three and a half feet.
As for the thickness of the city wall, although it is not as obvious as the increase in the height of the city wall, it has been thickened by more than half a foot. It can be said that the current Chenliu City Wall can almost allow small-scale cavalry to gallop.
As for the moat, the average moat is no more than twelve feet wide at most. But now Chi You took a rough look and found that the width of the moat was probably almost fifteen feet wide.
Without thinking too much, Chi You knew that since the moat had been widened, the depth might have been compromised.
This moat alone would probably cost the Yellow Turbans countless lives.
Chi You cast his eyes slightly on the city wall again, but every ten meters or so on the city wall, a catapult was quietly placed on it. On the city wall that Chi You observed, the number of catapults was at least
There are as many as sixty or seventy.
In fact, after this month of busy work, the Han army mobilized a large number of craftsmen from all over the country. Although the catapult was not easy to make, with the busy work of a large number of craftsmen and some of the original inventory, the Han army was able to mobilize all the craftsmen.
A total of nearly 200 catapults were obtained.
The other three gates each installed forty catapults. Only the north gate, because Chi You chose the north as the main attack direction, focused more on the north during defense, and directly installed nearly eighty catapults.
Counting other archery towers and a few crossbows, it can be said that Chenliu City was almost built into a fortress by the Han army. No, it should be said to be like a steel hedgehog.
In addition to the above, under Li Xiang's suggestion, the Han army these days dug densely packed pits of varying depths within a stone's throw of the moat.
In other words, if the Yellow Turbans want to attack the city normally, they must first fill in the holes under the rain of arrows from the Han army. Then, the moat will be built, so that the Yellow Turbans can start the normal attack.
City battle.
In this process, it is not so much that the Yellow Turbans are filling in these potholes and moats with sand, but rather that they are filling in these city defense measures with their own flesh and blood.
But now these are things that Chi You can see, and there are countless others that Chi You can't see.
Although the situation in front of him felt very troublesome, Chi You knew that he had to fight this battle.
Whether it is the Han Dynasty or the world's aristocratic family, the Yellow Turbans are destined to be unable to coexist with them. If the Yellow Turbans cannot destroy the Han Dynasty, then the Yellow Turbans will perish.
This is a life-and-death battle, and no one can retreat.
