"Xu Ding has too many skilled craftsmen. I heard that his woman Huang Yueying is a genius in ordnance. All the dexterous ordnance came from her. It seems that this is another special weapon developed by her. Someone like this I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble when we attack the city." Feng Jiwen asked Xu You:

"Your people still can't get into Weiyuan Island?"

Xu You is the person in charge of intelligence on Yuan Shao's side, and he didn't know anything about it, so he shook his head and said: "The overpass leading to Weiyuan Island is tightly guarded, and it is usually not open to ordinary people. They will check, and there are patrol boats. Xu Ding now has an identity card, but anyone who enters the island must have an identity card and a travel pass. Without these two, it is impossible to enter the island.

If it is a smuggling, the number of people on the island will not be too many, and they will not be able to get close to the factories that make ordnance. "

"Hmph! I don't want to hear these useless explanations." Yuan Shao's face turned black, but he said coldly:

"Xu Ziyuan, go and investigate immediately. You must find out the specific situation of this weapon. It is best to let someone steal one or two."

"It's the lord!" Xu You secretly bitter, I don't even know the name of this thing, how can I get it for you.

If important ordnance must be closely guarded.

Feng Ji said: "My lord, the strength of Xu Ding's army lies in the sharpness of his weapons, so even without him present, his troops are quite powerful in fighting. I suggest that we should emulate him more.

Collect more artisans, let them research more sharp weapons, and at the same time give more rewards to the artisans to improve their status. "

Yuan Shao said: "Yuan Tu's words are feasible. After you go back, you can arrange to implement this aspect, but the matter of improving your status will be avoided. Just give more rewards."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, this has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the ancestors have long settled down.

How can you break the rules because of muddy legs.

If he really dared to improve the status of craftsmen, those aristocratic families would rebel in no time.

Yuan Shao would not do such a foolish thing.

Many things promised cannot be learned.

He did the right thing, but if you follow suit, there will be problems.

"It's the lord!" Feng Ji knew what Yuan Shao was worried about, so he didn't say anything else.

Because he also understands where his own advantages lie.

What can and cannot be done.

Chapter 597

Can't attack in one go, under the strong blow of "thousand people beheaded" and "hundred people beheaded", Yuan Shao had to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Yuan Jun, like the tide, withdrew quickly.

The officers and men of the Fourth School Lieutenant Army breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan's army fought very fiercely and vigorously. If it weren't for the rich equipment and material preparations in the city, and the fourth school's lieutenant army is all veteran soldiers, it is impossible to say that the city gate could be broken at this time.

So the fourth school lieutenant army fought quite hard.

But it was all worth it, they repelled the invading chaos.

Then all the soldiers cheered and shouted at the top of the city, bursting out with strong pride and joy.

"Mr. Feng Xiao is lucky. We repelled Yuan Shao's attack. After that, our Pingyuan City is safe, and Yuan Shao dare not launch a violent attack casually." Both Zhu Ling and Zhang Fei gathered at the gate of the city with their tired bodies building.

Under the bombardment of the trebuchet, a corner of the city gate tower was blown up, but the whole building is still standing, so there is no serious problem.

Guo Jia said: "Today's battle is over, but the battle in Pingyuan County is just the beginning. Don't be careless. Yuan Shao dare not attack violently, but he will use other means. We must closely monitor Yuan Jun's movements."

After Yuan Shao withdrew, he called all the civil and military men to a party and said: "You have also seen the situation today. There are all kinds of sharp military weapons in Pingyuan City. Although our army is several times larger, we lost about [-] people in the first battle." , such a consumption is really huge, and it may not be possible to capture it.

What do you think? "

"My lord, I can't wait to attack by force. This Pingyuan City is a trap set by the Marquis of Weihai. He deliberately put a strong army from the Fourth Colonel's Army here, just to lure me to attack Pingyuan City." Make a strong attack to consume our troops." Zhang Jai stood up and clasped his fists.

Chun Yuqiong also said: "That's right, the Marquis of Weihai moved all the people in Pingyuan County away, deliberately leaving only Pingyuan City for us to fight, just to keep us here.

I heard that they started hoarding food, grass and ordnance in Pingyuan City very early on. Judging from the opponent's counterattack today, the number of arrows in the city is outrageous. In plain city. "

The other generals also said that it would not be difficult to attack by force, and the lessons learned during the day were too profound.

It wasn't that they were cowardly, Pingyuan City's counterattack was too fierce, and the arrows were shot for free, splashing all over the sky, which was really terrifying.

Yuan Shao slightly nodded and said: "Since everyone thinks that it is not appropriate to attack by force, do you have any good ideas on how we can break through this time? If we can't pose a threat to Pingyuan City, Xu Ding will not send troops into Pingyuan City. He and Cao Cao will confront each other in Jinan, how can we advance the front line and defeat Xu Ding if we are so stalemate?"

If Pingyuan City didn't send a request for help, Xu Ding wouldn't mobilize troops, so Cao Cao on the south bank of the Yellow River would have no advantage over Xu Ding.

If Pingyuan City could be pulled out earlier, the Jizhou Legion would be able to find the ferry and go southward, support Cao Cao, and form a pincer attack on Xu Ding's Jinan Kingdom.

Now neither of the two conditions can meet the conditions, so there is no way to continue playing.

Xu You stood up at this moment and said: "My lord, why don't we dig the soil and push forward, we will pile up the soil to form a wall, and approach the city gate step by step, attracting the attention of Xu Zhangfei and others.

In fact, we dug tunnels behind the piled up mounds, dug into the city from the ground, and opened a gap from the inside of the plain city. "

Digging tunnels is a fairly traditional method of siege, and it can be used very quickly if it is not absolutely necessary.

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Ziyuan, is this method too slow?"

Digging a tunnel cannot be completed in a day or two, but takes time.

Tunnels are not like digging ditches above the soil, where you draw a line of money and dig directly. When digging a tunnel below, you have to dig a few meters deep to ensure that it does not collapse.

In fact, when pushing forward, the road is narrow and short, which is not conducive to civil engineering work. It needs to be pushed inch by inch, and the soil has to be transported out bit by bit.

Time consuming and laborious.

Xu You said: "My lord, it will take some time, but the victory lies in being safe and effective. One hit will kill you."

Feng Ji thought for a while and stood up and said, "Master, maybe you can wipe it, anyway, we are not in a hurry to go south now, we can harass and pretend to attack while digging tunnels.

On the side, let people search for the ferry and lurk to the south bank. Once the attack is successful, the army can find a foothold on the south bank and attack Jinan. "

After thinking about it for a while, there was no better solution, so he said, "Okay, since you all think it's feasible, let's take a look."

The plan was discussed. At that time, Yuan Shao's part began to pile up mounds outside the south, north, and west gates, and built a one-foot-high shield to surround the two wings of the mound, and then dug tunnels behind.

The next day, when Guo Jia, Zhang Fei and others woke up from rest, the city defenders came to report to them.

Guo Jia, Zhang Fei and others ran to the city wall to have a look, and sure enough there was a mound piled up by Yuan Shaobing outside the city. The city wind piled up a mound wall connecting the city gate and the city wall.

"Hey, Yuan Shao is so naive, he wants to use this to pile up at our city gate, and watch me use the trebuchet to smash them and make them torment for nothing." Zhang Fei smiled nonchalantly, ready to let the trebuchet work and blast Yuan Shao away. of mounds.

But Guo Jia hurriedly stopped him and said: "Yide don't pay attention to them, let them pile up, you knocked out these mounds, Yuan Shao's army has nothing to do and wants to attack by force, why not let them pile up slowly, wait until the defense city is near, in the Use bed crossbows and catapults to fight."

"Hey, Fengxiao, you have a good idea. Anyway, we are here to save time, and let them play slowly." Zhang Fei immediately understood Guo Jia's intentions, so he suppressed his plan to make a move.
