Chapter 234 Gongsun Zan's Lair
After Gongsun Zan and others retreated, Liu He immediately ordered the whole army to hunt down and kill Gongsun Zan's coalition forces, throwing away their helmets and armor and bleeding into rivers. Finally, according to statistics, although Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Kang and Murong were not beheaded or captured in this battle Any one of them has achieved a very impressive record, beheading more than [-] people, capturing thousands of people, capturing countless equipment, food, and armor, and capturing [-] horses, which is enough to build another cavalry with thousands of people. team.

This time, Liu He had been chasing Wuzhong County hundreds of miles away before stopping. The three counties of Hunu, Pinggu, and Wuzhong along the way surrendered one after another. In fact, Wuzhong County already belonged to You Beiping's territory. After Gongsun Zan defeated Liu Yu, he sent people to take over the defense here. In order to establish his rule here, he even contacted the Murong clan of Xianbei in western Liaoning and asked the Murong clan to help him send troops to suppress the However, even the county magistrates appointed by Gongsun Zan expressed dissatisfaction with Gongsun Zan's policy of excessive expropriation. They did not dare to resist when Gongsun Zan sent elite soldiers to garrison them, but now Gongsun Zan has retreated. When Liu He came back, they naturally ordered Kaesong to surrender without any hesitation.

Liu He's army stationed in Wuzhong County, sent people to escort Pang Tong back to Quanzhou County, and then ordered Xu Huang to lead the army to join.

The next day, Xu Huang led his army to Wuzhong County. Liu He made some arrangements for Xu Huang. Yangle, governor of Liaoxi County, cut off the connection between Xianbei in Liaoxi, Xianbei headquarters and Gongsundu in Liaodong, and then immediately fortified there, defending carefully, and as soon as his order arrived, he immediately cooperated with Liu He to attack Liaodong County.

"Generals, now that Xu Huang has rushed to Lulongsai, it's time for us to take action. I have already made arrangements in advance for the capture of Liaoxi and Liaodong, but our biggest task right now is to capture Gongsun Zan's lair. , Tuyin City, as long as this city is destroyed and Gongsun Zan has nowhere to go, our war will be half won."

After that, Liu He didn't stay there, and immediately led the army to go out after raising the food and grass.

However, this road is not as smooth as before. Even with Li Ping who is good at opening the road as the pioneer, there are many obstacles along the way, or the pontoon bridge has been demolished, or the river has been widened, or It's because the main roads are full of thorns and horse pits. No matter what, in a word, in order to delay the march of Liu and the army, Gongsun Zan can be said to be doing everything possible.

Fortunately, Li Ping's skills played a role, making the marching speed much faster, but even so, it took a full five days for the army to arrive at Tuyin City.

Not far from the city, Liu He couldn't help cursing: "This Gongsun Zan is really abominable. There are so many obstacles within a distance of less than three hundred miles, and it made us walk for five full years." In a few days, it seems that this guy is determined to fight to the end, hmph, even if your city is the real strong city Tangchi, I will definitely break you!"

When they finally arrived at the city, everyone couldn't help but gasped when they saw the lair that Gongsun Zan had worked so hard to manage, because Gongsun Zan actually dug more than ten deep trenches outside the moat, and transported the soil from the trenches to the trenches. In the middle of the trench, earth mountains with a height of five or six feet were cast. These earth mountains were very wide, and forts were built on them. The earth mountain in the middle was particularly eye-catching, more than ten feet high, and the camp gates were made of steel. Made.

"I really didn't expect that in just two or three months, an old thief like Gongsun Zan would build Tuyin City so impregnably. I wonder how much people's power was used during this period? But the most difficult thing in the world to break through is not these fortresses, but the people's hearts. , Without the support of the people, how long can this old thief persist? Send the order, and the soldiers from all walks of life will set up camps and heavily surround Gongsun Zan's camp. For the time being, stay still and listen to my orders."

Liu He knew that with such a solid defense, even Qu Yi, who was the best at attacking the city, would suffer heavy losses. He was unwilling to cause heavy damage to his soldiers because of such a lonely city, so he ordered the army to stand still for the time being. Find a way to deal with this old thief.

So Liu He summoned his advisers to discuss a solution to the problem, but the enemy's camp was so strong that they wanted to attack easily in a short time without paying heavy casualties. No idea either.

At this time, Huang Yueying said, "I have a way to deal with Gongsun Zan."

"Oh? I don't know what trick Huang Canjun has? Tell me quickly." Liu He was very happy when he heard it, and said hastily.

I saw Huang Yueying said: "I saw the thunderbolt car made by Mr. Liu Ziyang before, and found that this thing can be slightly changed to make it have a longer range and send larger stones. In this way, we can use the stone thrower to directly Smash their camps, and then take the opportunity to lead the army to attack one after another. Even if there are ten fortifications, there is nothing terrible in fact, because if we attack ten times, we can capture ten fortifications, not to mention that as long as we occupy one, we will It is equivalent to having the same geographical advantages as them, so what are you worried about?"

After hearing Huang Yueying's words, Wang Can first shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But even if we can smash the camps on the other side's mountains, it will be difficult to capture those mountains, because there are lines in front of those mountains that are several feet deep and wide. Our people couldn't get through the ravine of more than ten feet. If we had to fill it with earth, we would have to fill it until the year of the monkey. Moreover, there was also the threat of bows and arrows from the enemy soldiers on the opposite mountain. Therefore, it is easy to say this, but to really do it. It’s really not easy to do.”

But Huang Yueying said: "This is not a problem, because I have developed a device that can plug the ravine and make the moat open. Hundreds of thousands of sets of these devices can be produced in just three days. Even including the production time of the improved thunderbolt car, it only takes five or six days. In addition, I have also improved the siege ladder and other siege weapons. I believe that these siege equipment will be handed over to General Qu In his hands, he will definitely be able to exert greater power. I believe that by then, Gongsun Zan's defensive buildings will not be enough to pose a threat."

"What? Ying'er, can you really build this kind of river-filling device?" Liu He was so excited when he heard this. He didn't even use the title Huang Canjun and directly called him "Ying'er".

But Huang Yueying said solemnly: "My lord, please call me Huang Canjun. In fact, this kind of equipment was not invented by me, but by you, my lord. Do you still remember the heavenly book that I gave to my lord? "
