Chapter Five Hundred and Ninetieth National Scholar Jia Xu, Recommend Talents!
Regarding the failure of the first attack on Shouchun City, Liu Hao summarized several issues:
First, although the Huainan Army Corps is mixed with good and bad, Sun Ce, the general who defends the city, is a strong general who can lead troops, and his Jiefan soldiers are elite!
Second, I rushed to attack the city and did not prepare enough siege equipment! Just relying on ladders is too simple to attack the city!
Liu Hao pinched his eyebrows and said secretly:
"Since I haven't prepared enough siege equipment, I have to go take a look..."
The person responsible for supervising the construction of siege equipment was Jiang Qin, the general of Liu Hao's army.
Liu Hao walked through the military camp at a leisurely pace, and soldiers greeted him from time to time.
After walking for a while, I found General Jiang Qin who was commanding his soldiers' siege weapons...
Liu Hao said: "Jiang Qin, how are you preparing the equipment needed to attack Shouchun City!?"
"Lord!"
Jiang Qin was commanding his men. When he heard Liu Hao's voice, he was suddenly shocked. He hurriedly bowed and said: "The general is rushing day and night. Currently, hundreds of ladders have been prepared, as well as more than a hundred heavy iron vehicles. We will definitely do it tomorrow."
I can conquer this Shouchun City for my lord!"
Heavy Iron Crash is the latest siege weapon invented by Liu Hao's general, Master Zheng Jun...
The tip of the heavy tree surrounded by several people was covered with a thick iron sheet. The impact on the city gate was several times more powerful than an ordinary car attack!
"It still won't work if we fight like this..."
Liu Hao pinched his eyebrows, feeling that something was missing somewhere. Where exactly, but he couldn't put his finger on it...
"Just with the cloud echelon, we can't defeat Shouchun!!"
"The impact of the heavy iron hitting the car is enough, but the casualties of our troops must be considerable!"
"Judging from today, Yuan Shu has made up his mind to hide in Shouchun City. He has sufficient strategic reserves, including an unknown amount of kerosene, iron juice, rolling stones, hammers and other weapons to defend the city. If he really sets up a ladder to attack,
Our own casualties are too many!"
Liu Hao is not like Yuan Shu, who likes to save face and forcibly recruits old and weak peasants to serve as soldiers to put up a good appearance for himself and shout slogans like an army of 200,000.
Any one of his subordinates is an elite soldier who dares to fight!
Liu Hao was reluctant to use the lives of these people to fill the hole!
"My lord, Shouchun City is an important city. It is more than ten feet high and the walls are diamond-thick. Apart from that, I'm afraid I can't think of any other way..."
"Yes, Yuan Shu, this shrunken dog thief, is so timid! He doesn't even dare to go out to fight with the army!"
Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals also looked helpless.
No way!
Really no choice!
The vanguard robbed the camp, but was ambushed and killed instead. Yuan Shu was so frightened by Liu Hao that he did not dare to show his face at all!
Huddled in Shouchun City with all your heart!
As a result, no matter how brave Liu Haojun is and is not afraid of death, he still cannot grow wings and fly up to the top of the city more than ten feet away...
When the generals were at a loss what to do, the Jin Yiwei flew across in the distance and came to Liu Hao and said: "My lord, Military Advisor Jia Xu is here to report on his duties!"
"Wen He is here!?"
Liu Hao felt happy and hurriedly waved: "Please come quickly!"
Liu Bowen was stationed in Jinling, Xun Yu took charge of Xuzhou, Xu Shu went to Yuzhang County to prevent Shanyue, Guo Jia rushed to Xuyi to assist Zhang Liao, and Guan Yu sent troops from Xuyi.
With several great military advisors not around, Jia Xu's arrival is like a timely rain!
"Lord!"
Counselor Jia Xufeng rushed to Liu Hao's side, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "My lord, I have already learned about today's situation. Xu has a plan that can enable my lord to attack Shouchun City and reduce the losses."
,drop to lowest!"
"What's your idea? Let Wen He tell you quickly!"
Liu Hao immediately became interested, looked at Jia Xu, and asked.
Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and other generals in the army also held their breaths to listen to what kind of ideas the supreme national scholar Jia Xu would give.
"Ahem..."
Jia Xu, who had always been low-key, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. He covered his mouth and coughed unnaturally, and said: "My lord, almost all of Yangzhou is now under the control of our army. Shouchun City has become
We have left an isolated city, how is Yuan Shu feeling at this moment?"
"Needless to say, that turtle grandson must have been so scared that he shrank his eggs and was afraid of the Lord's power!"
Zhou Tai, who has the most upright temperament, blurted out:
Jiang Qin was also convinced, nodded and said: "Military advisor, Hefei is captured by our army at this time. The food and grass in Yuan Shu's Shouchun City must be insufficient. Without food and help, Yuan Shu must be panicking to death!"
"Yes! My lord is so powerful that he scared Yuan Shu to death!"
Liu Hao also deeply agreed with the opinions of his generals.
If you think about it, you are Yuan Shu. He has almost defeated an army of more than 100,000 people and is still surrounded by people in Shouchun City. How can you still remain calm at this time?
Absolutely impossible!
"What Wen He said is..."
Now that he understood this, Liu Hao felt enlightened and asked Jia Xu.
Jia Xu also smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Lord, the way to use military force is to attack the heart first, to attack the city next, to fight the heart first, to fight with soldiers second..."
"Since Yuan Shu is so frightened, he just wants to survive and lacks the courage to fight... Our army now occupies a major advantage. We only need to amplify this fear to limit the morale of the troops in Shouchun City.
A complete breakdown..."
"yes!"
Liu Hao's heart moved, and he thought of Zhou Yu's strategy to attack Xun You's heart, and said with shame: "Fortunately, Wen He warned me that this general is too eager for quick success, and Shouchun City should be more eager than us...
."
"good!"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Now that Hefei has been captured by us, one of the claws that Yuan Shu's Huainan Army extended into Yangzhou has been cut off. Without the support of baggage and food, how long can his tens of thousands of troops in the city defend the city?
"
Zhou Tai straightened his eyes and said blankly: "Commander Wenhe, then we just don't do anything?"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course not. During this period, our army can put on a fierce attack posture and strain the spirit of Yuan Shu's Huainan Army to the limit..."
"If the bowstring is pulled too tight, it will definitely break. The Huainan Army's mental state is like a bowstring that is tightened. If it exceeds the limit, it will collapse. During this period, our army can take the opportunity to prepare siege equipment and cut off
The connection between Runan and Shouchun..."
"Ha ha!"
Liu Hao put his hands on his hands and laughed, and said: "Wen He is worthy of being an unparalleled national scholar. Regarding the strategic deployment of Shouchun City, Wen He will make the final decision!"
"Xu will do his best to repay the lord for his kindness!"
Although Jia Xu is a low-key person, he is not ambiguous at all at critical times.
After being called by Liu Hao, Jia Xu suddenly thought of something, bowed and saluted, and said: "I almost missed a big event... My lord, Xu has a talent this time that I want to recommend to my lord!"
