The strongest emperor system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 Surrounding Ye City

After defeating Yuan Shao, Liu Xie sent his generals Lu, Zhang Liao, etc. to take advantage of the victory and attack from multiple routes. At the same time, he called on the people in Hebei to migrate to Henan in large numbers.

As a result, this move shocked the whole of Hebei. During the war, hundreds of thousands of people responded to the call of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and poured into the rule of the Han Dynasty, which provided a good foundation for Liu Xie's next campaign to conquer Hebei.

"Your Majesty!" In the past few days, under the city of Ye, Liu Xie was in the camp, and meteor scouts came in one by one to report back, "Our army's forward defeated the Yuan family's army in a certain place, beheading countless people!"

Liu Xie was in the central camp, commanding his men to attack Yecheng day and night. The defenders were Ma Yan, Lu Kuang and several unknown generals, but they gathered all the men, women and children in the city. Lei Shi, as well as powerful crossbows, Liu Xie sent his men to attack Yecheng several times, but it was only a matter of time before they broke the city.

"Ma Yan, the defender of the city, why is he so obsessed with it?"

Liu Xie wanted to use Italian cannons to blow open the city gate, but at this time, all the shells were used up, and Yecheng was really the largest city in Hebei. The city was strong and deep, and Liu Xie didn't want to die too much People piled inside, and the Demon Emperor was defeated by himself. Seeing that victory is in sight, why bother to hurt people so much?
"Your Majesty, that Mayan, he probably wants to win the reputation of a loyal minister."

Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, and Jia Kui all pointed to the city, shook their heads and said, "We never imagined that Yuan Shu would be beaten so badly in the first battle at Guandu, but when we arrived in Hebei, we wanted to defeat Yuan Shu." A little Mayan still struggles so much, no wonder people say..."

"What do people say?"

"Many martyrs in Hebei, go to the Elegy Song generously!"

"ah!"

Everyone was speechless, and Liu Xie stopped sending his men to continue attacking the city. He could only set up camp outside the city and look for the right opportunity to break through the city in one fell swoop.

This is the case, the siege is like this, and it is difficult to attack a fortified city.

Liu Xie attacked the city that day. He wanted to persuade Ma Yan to surrender, right?Yuan Shao was beaten away, why are you defending Yecheng alone?
"Fuck, Liu Xie, you useless emperor!"

Ma Yan is quite arrogant in the city:

"You thing, you brought troops to attack me! You can do whatever you want if you break the city of Ye! If you can't break the city, stop barking under the city! Go back to the Central Plains!"

A group of dead soldiers in the city also laughed at Liu Xie: "The emperor of waste firewood, go back! Hebei has no territory for you!"

The generals under Liu Xie were all fuming with anger, and Ma Yan was so crazy: "You are so bold, come and attack me!"

As a result, soldiers and generals were injured. This city is really difficult to attack.

Mayan became even more mad.Drinking wine in the city, while throwing wine bottles down the city.Throwing down the heads of Liu Xie's soldiers who attacked the city with ladders but were wiped out, they said, "You useless emperor, come up, it's the same!"

"Ahhhh..." People were so angry that the fireworks rose, and they were really pissed off.This Mayan is really nothing.

"It seems that the only way we can choose is to fortify the wall and clear the country, surround this big city, surround it in groups, cut off its water source and food road, and then surround the city on three sides to leave an exit for them to escape, so that we can attack Let’s go to this very old city.”

Both Guo Jia and Jia Xu came up with a solution.

Liu Xie was very satisfied with their method. In addition, Liu Xie added another method, digging up the nearby river. The water in the Zhanghe River is when there is a lot of water in the rainy season, which can prevent them from getting out. .

"But Your Majesty, we might not be able to annihilate this big city with the water of the Zhang River? You can see that the city wall is so high, and the city is located in a place that is not the lowest. I'm afraid," counselor Xu Shu said in Liu Xie recently. Beside him, he was very talkative, so he asked puzzledly, "If we release water, I'm afraid we won't be able to flood Yecheng, and it won't be able to attack the city with water, right?"

"is it?"

Liu Xie had already made up his mind, but smiled and expressed his approval to Xu Shu:
"Yuanzhi, you have considered things comprehensively!"

"My lord, have you thought about it, if we dig a ditch, will Mayan come out to interfere? Do we have other good ways?"

"Water attack must be used," Liu Xie thought of Cao Cao's method of breaking the city in the Three Kingdoms, so he was full of confidence in the next plan, and he told Xu Shu, "But we are not aiming to annihilate the city, but... ..."

Guo Jia saw that Xu Shu's face was flushed with anxiety, and he rushed to speak quickly:

"In order to surround the city, a deep ditch was dug around the city, so that he and us are separated, and no one can go out and come in!"

"Oh!" Xu Shu looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and then slapped his thigh fiercely, "This way of attacking the city, no, the method of besieging the city is very clever!"

"Hey...wait a minute," Guo Jia listened to Liu Xie and Xu Shu discussing how to break through Yecheng with water, and suddenly thought of a problem. He came to his senses and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, we sent people outside the city to dig ditches so blatantly. ...Ma Yan over there, what should he do with his troops to attack us? Even with bows and arrows, we can't stand it!"

"That's right!" Xu Shu also understood, "How many people we brought to dig the trench, this method is easily destroyed by the enemy!"

"Hehehehe!"

Jia Xu next to Liu Xie is worthy of his wit and scheming. He listened with his arms around his shoulders, and suddenly interrupted: "We dig a ditch as hard as we can. This deep ditch can be completed overnight, and then the water will be released immediately, and that's it!"

"But we are afraid that the enemy will come out of the city to harass us..."

"Don't be afraid, we just let him come out of the city a few more times, we can pretend to dig ditches at first!"

"Then what are we going to do when we fight?"

"If he dares to come out, hit him!"

"Will he come out?"

"If we don't come out, we'll dig a ditch!"

"Come out?"

"Come out to harass us and fight him!"

"Hey, you said that again, and I was stunned. Hey, by the way, did we start sending a small number of soldiers, pretending to dig ditches to make them relax? Then suddenly dig a deep ditch all of a sudden, and get it done overnight This matter?! This is fine!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Yecheng is in your hands!"

"Everyone, let's act. Now that the plan has been made, then we must act as expected, use the deep ditch of our wisdom, and trap the foolish and loyal Ma Yan in Daye City, let him taste a good taste of heaven. There is no way, the feeling of entering the earth without a door!"

"Long live Shengming!"

Sure enough, Liu Xie sent his subordinates Zhao Yun and Gan Ning to do this kind of civil engineering work, hold back the water in the Zhang River, let the water level be as high as possible, and wait for the day when the water will be fixed with sacks and ropes. Liu Xie has done a good job of attacking this strategy with water.

When he was in Shouchun, Liu Xie had brought men, women, children, and officers and soldiers all over the city to rush to the frontline battlefield against floods. At that time, Liu Xie almost had an army that could control the water element.

In fact, the water element is the common people.The people are like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it!

Then, Liu Xie sent Xu Huang and Sima Yi, two capable generals, and sent them to take the remaining about 10 people into action in batches. First, they sent a small army to harass the city, pretending to be digging ditches. With 5 horses coming out, there are really many new troops in the city. Fortunately, Liu Xie was well prepared.

There was a big battle, blood flowed all over the ground.

Then Liu Xie continued to pretend to be digging a ditch.People came down from the city to harass them again. If it happened three or four times, the number of times people would be sent from the city would be much less.

"It's now!"

That night, under the light of the full moon, 10 people dug with shovels together, and a long and deep ditch was completed!
"Let the water go! Your Majesty has issued an order to let the water go!" Some cavalry rushed to the river to report the news. They had been waiting for a long time, and dozens of people pulled the rope hard!
"Wow!"

Water surrounds Ye City!
