Chapter 297

The middle of Shu is the most geographically advantageous place in the world. We all say that in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao occupied the time, Sun Quan occupied the geographical advantage, and Liu Bei occupied the people.In fact, it is Liu Bei who occupies the geographical advantage, and Sun Quan occupies the harmony.

The road in central Shu is too difficult, and it is a pass from Hanzhong.Baishuiguan, Jiamengguan, Jiange (Jianmenguan), Jiangyoushu (Jiangyouguan), Mianzhuguan, and then the military towns of Luoxian and Chengdu, it is impossible to attack them with regular soldiers.Liu Bei's entry into Shu was an internal flowering, and Zhong Hui's attack on Shu was because Deng Ai sneaked across Yinping Road, conquered Mianzhu, and forced Liu Chan to surrender.

If Liu Zhang hadn't led the wolf into the house and Liu Chan lacked confidence, it would be basically impossible for Liu Bei and Zhong Hui to win Shuzhong.

Sun Quan's occupation of Renhe was due to the fact that Wu's famous generals came out in large numbers, and the four major governors were all famous generals. After that, there were Zhu Ran and Lu Kang as successors, and there were countless generals.According to the records of "Three Kingdoms", Wu State has the most military generals among the Three Kingdoms. If it is not for the monarch, it is not certain who will win the world.According to historical commentary, Sun Quan was more than successful, but not good enough. After Sun Quan, the emperors were not as good as one generation after another.

Therefore, the successor must be chosen well. The so-called mastering a young country is suspicious, and mastering a cowardly country is ruined.Not only Shu and Wu, but also Cao Wei. Cao Pi was better. After Cao Rui, it was not as good as one generation after another, because their emperor was too young.

For a strong dynasty, first of all, the foundation of the founding emperor must be large, and the life of the successive emperors should be long, and secondly, whether the successive emperors are wise or not.If these three points are not achieved, basically there will be no long-term dynasty.After the Ming Dynasty, the country's system began to change, and the role of the emperor was constantly weakened. Otherwise, with the emperors who were not doing their jobs properly, the Ming Dynasty would have perished long ago.

Many people said that they were hacked by the Qing Dynasty when explaining the dynasty, but no one can tell how many of them were hacked.But as far as the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were concerned, the degree of blackness was not much.If those emperors were ordinary people, maybe everyone would talk about them, but who let them be born in the emperor's family!

In order to repeat the same mistakes, Zhang Yi also worried a lot about his sons.Now he is laying down a big country for his sons, so that future generations can give them a prodigal family.

Fu Youde also started to attack the city in Jiangzhou. He was not idle in the past 20 days. He built many car crashes, rush cars, manhole barriers, and trebuchets.As soon as the siege began, countless siege equipment pressed towards Jiangzhou.Stones and arrows were continuously thrown into the city, covering the city.Fu Youde personally climbed onto the nest cart and observed the layout of the city. If he saw where there were more soldiers, he would attack in that direction.

Yan Yan is also sitting on the tower, commanding the soldiers to hide.The city tower is the highest place on the city wall, and there is a cover on it, so it is not afraid of arrows.

But for the trebuchet, there is no difference between having a lid and not having a lid.Because the cover on the tower is just a layer of tiles, it is okay to avoid the arrows, but it is impossible to prevent them from being smashed.

Fu Youde asked the trebuchet to take care of the tower, and more than a dozen large stones flew up, directly overturning the lid of the tower, and almost stepped on the entire lid.

But even so, stones and tiles flew around, and the soldiers inside suffered heavy casualties immediately. Yan Yan was also hit by a few tiles, and his shoulders and thighs were swollen.

After escaping from the tower in embarrassment, Yan Yan immediately ordered people to rescue the soldiers inside. For the first time, he saw the power of the trebuchet.

There are many mountains in the middle of Shu, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk.Originally, Yan Yan thought that Zhang Yijun's supplies would be difficult and he would not bring too many arrows.As a result, people did not focus on arrows, but instead used local materials and used stones to attack.As long as there is time, stones are inexhaustible, and Duoshan, who was originally an advantage of the defensive side, has become an advantage of the offensive side.

Yan Yan couldn't help feeling Fu Youde's ability. A general needs this kind of wisdom of using local materials. A good general is one who can turn a disadvantage into an advantage.

After suppressing the enemy army on the city, Fu Youde immediately sent someone to push the ladder to the bottom of the city.As the ladder approached the city wall, the frequency of trebuchet attacks began to slow down to prevent hitting their own people.The frequency of arrow shooting has increased, because the siege soldiers are all well-armored, even if they are shot by their own people, they may not be able to be injured.Moreover, many good archers in Zhang Yi's army basically would not shoot at their own people, unless the arrow was deflected by a sudden strong wind.

However, things like sudden strong winds will basically not happen, because there are very few such weird weather in Sichuan.

After Yan Yan found that the opponent's trebuchet had weakened, he immediately climbed up the city wall to look over, and found that the enemy's ladder was approaching, so he immediately sent people to the top of the city to defend.

Originally, Yan Yan had people boiling water and boiling gold juice at the top of the city, but they were all destroyed by the opponent's trebuchet.The boiling water and golden juice spilled all over the city wall, and also burned many soldiers. As a result, the defense now had to rely on rolling logs and rocks.

The ladder was built on the city wall, and many people climbed up.Every soldier held up their shields, trying to prevent them from being smashed down by rolling logs and stones.

If you fall from a ladder three or four feet high, even if you don't die, you will break your bones.These soldiers are very skilled. Every time they climb a level, they will use the bottom of the shield to build a ladder. As long as the ladder is not broken, it is difficult for them to be smashed down.

As long as they don't exhaust themselves, they can climb up all the way and finally climb to the top of the city.This is also a secret of why Zhang Yi's subordinates were able to conquer many cities quickly. They could quickly go up the city wall and quickly gain a foothold on the city wall.

However, there are many defenders in Jiangzhou, and Yan Yan is not incompetent. He asked the soldiers to hold forks and push down the enemy soldiers who were about to climb up.

The fork is the greatest weapon for defending the city. It is not used to fork ladders, but to fork people.There are hooks on the ladder, and after three or four people climb on the ladder, they cannot be pushed, so the fork can only be used to fork people.

Two hours have passed, and the city has not yet been captured.The Jiangzhou defenders defended tenaciously against the arrows, fighting to the death without retreating.

Yan Yan shouted loudly from time to time, instructing the soldiers to defend.Because of this, he was stared at by the people on the well gate, and arrows were constantly shot at him. He was hit by an arrow on his swollen shoulder, but he cut off the arrow shaft and held up a shield, still standing on the city wall. Go down.

Yan Yan's determination to fight to the end made the morale of his soldiers high, and many soldiers were determined to die.When a few enemy troops attacked, someone carried them and jumped down from the top of the city, and they all died together.

Seeing this, Fu Youde immediately called for gold to withdraw his troops. Now the morale in the city is high, so we should take it easy. When the morale of the soldiers in the city drops, they will be afraid when they see the situation on the top of the city.
