In the autumn of the second year of Xingping, Liu Bei took Lu Zhi as the head of the Liaodong camp, and led Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and other troops to attack Goguryeo. When Goguryeo heard the news, the whole territory was shaken. The king of Goguryeo sent troops and horses to meet the battle, and at the same time issued a national mobilization order, so that all the people of the country went to the war, and the great Goguryeo wanted to show those Han people the color and recapture their homeland!

I don't know where the confidence comes from.

Goguryeo is located in the east of Liaodong, south of Dahan Lelang County, Huiqian, east of Wofu, north of Buyeo. It has 2,000 miles of land, and the number of registered households is only 30,000. The origin of Goguryeo is a matter of different opinions in history. Some say it is Buyeong, some say it is a Huiqian person, and some say it is a remnant of ancient Korea. Later generations of Huaxia, **, and South Korea all claimed that Goguryeo was the original people of their own country. Huaxia won't talk about it, it's definitely right. ** and South Korea, but its heart can be punished. After so much research, the Goguryeo people are obviously Zhuhu mongrels, and it is only because of the establishment of power in Goguryeo County in Xuansu County that they are called Goguryeo.

Lu Zhi went up the river from Xuansu to Xigaima, and then sent Zhang Fei troops from Anping City in Liaoxi and Xi. Because there is a tribe in Goguryeo, they live by the water of Mazi, and their parts can shoot, and they are prolific and strong, and they are known as the bows. And Xi'an Ping is the only way for the Korean Peninsula to enter Liaodong. Choking here ensures the safety of Lelang County.

There are many mountains and deep valleys in Goguryeo, and many Chinese people also live in the valleys, usually farming and hunting in the valleys, and feed on the streams. This time to send troops, Lu Zhi was deeply afraid of failure. After all, this time it was not Goguryeo who came to attack the Han realm, but the Han army crusaded against Goguryeo, and Lu Zhi did not know what the situation was in Goguryeo. Lu Zhi, who knows the art of war, knows that if the army is not guided, it will definitely be defeated. So early in the morning, he spent a lot of money in Liaodong to recruit Hu people who were familiar with the terrain.

Fortunately, Hu people are good and happy, and they are willing to die for Lu Taishou. In the first day, dozens of Hu people who were familiar with the terrain of Goguryeo were recruited. Of course, Lu Zhi didn't dare to believe all these Hu Chong who patted his chest and said big things. This time, let's send troops and advance steadily. As long as the main army of Goguryeo is found and broken in a battle, Goguryeo should also surrender.

The army marched all the way, and every time it came to the valley, it would send scouts to inspect it. If there is anything abnormal, send a sergeant to set it on fire. In this way, there are Goguryeo soldiers and civilians hidden deep in the valley. Because this was a battle to destroy the country, Lu Zhi did not specifically order the prisoners. Basically, they were almost killed, and they found that they were lucky enough to survive, so they were reluctantly sent to the prisoner camp.

When Lu Zhi broke through dozens of valleys in a row, and when he arrived at Susheng Bone City, he finally encountered a more decent resistance.

Susheng Bone City, built along the Hunjiang River, its land is quite prolific. Copper, marble, roe deer, mink, ginseng, etc., you have it all here. In particular, ginseng was even known as the hometown of ginseng medicine in later generations.

Such a good place was naturally occupied by the Goguryeo aristocracy. There are five tribes in Goguryeo, what are the absolute slaves, the obedient slaves, and the slaves, in short, they are all messy and inexplicable names. In the past, one clan was the king, but after the power was weakened, it was replaced by another clan, which is now the Goguryeo royal family. Although the previous royal family lost the throne, they also occupied several good places as a sign of comfort. Susheng Bone City is the territory of the former royal family's ancient chick plus (a kind of royal family's official title and honorific title).

By the way, the official position of Goguryeo is very strange, what is added, to Lu, Pei, Gu Hina ...... Sure enough, it's a barbarian.

Trickled down here, in business for many years, he is not a person who doesn't understand anything. Since the Han Dynasty sent troops, then his own Susheng Bone City must be one of the targets of the Han army. So I took precautions early. First, the slaves were asked to strengthen and raise the city wall, and then countless small villages were set up on the other side of the Hunjiang River to rely on.

Goguryeo was a slave country, and those who could be registered were all people with status. Other slaves, male or female, were not eligible to have identity cards. Therefore, in such a place as Susheng Bone City, he trickled up a trickle, and even let him make up a miscellaneous army of more than 10,000 people. It's just that the weapon is shabby. In Goguryeo, copper and iron ore abound, but there is a lack of craftsmen and skills, and every year it relies on trading and smuggling, as well as rewards from the Han Dynasty, and that's it. Where can it all be smelted into weapons. Slaves, in particular, who had always been oppressed, could not be given weapons in spite of the urgency of the situation. Well, just give them big wooden sticks. This kind of stick, the Goguryeo people often take slaves to smash fish in shallow water, and the power is still there.

After Lu Zhi's army arrived at the city of Susheng bones, set up camp, and buried the pot to make rice, Lu Zhi took the generals to watch the terrain. Susheng Bone City, is a small city, the city is more than a foot high, the base of the city wall is marble, and then the yellow mud is rammed. In the east of the city, the Hunjiang River is mighty, and after besieging the city in a circle, it turns south. On the east bank, there are many water villages, and there are small boats coming and going to communicate inside and outside. Lu Zhi saw that the forest outside the city had been cut down, and the city of Susheng Bone was waiting again. He said: "Go back to the camp first, and discuss the matter in the camp tomorrow." ”

The next day, the three drums sounded, and the generals were already neatly dressed and stood in the camp in unison. Lu Zhi raised the account and said: "Today I want to send troops, who is willing to be the vanguard." ”

The voice fell, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others each took a step forward and said in unison: "General, the last general is willing to be the first." ”

No one wants to let go of the opportunity, especially Tai Shici, since he returned to Qingzhou, he has been treated well by Liu Bei, and his gratitude is beyond words, and he has the opportunity to perform, where he dares to be slower than others. I also want to prove to everyone that my Taishi Ziyi's strength is strong, which is enough to repay Liu Yuanjun's kindness.

Lu Zhi groaned slightly, and then ordered: "Ziyi, I will send you to battle today." If you don't dial, tomorrow will be Hansheng. ”

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed, and hurriedly accepted the general's order, and said: "The last general's order lives up to the trust of the general." Then he saluted, and went out to gather the soldiers and horses of his headquarters.

After a while, I only heard a cannon sound, the drum shook the sky, the camp gate was wide open, Tai Shici's helmet was bright, the green horse under his crotch, and the cold iron gun in his palm. Take the lead and go straight to the city of bones.

Away from the place of a stone's throw, Tai Shici led the troops to stop, and then there was a creaking sound in the back row, only to see a row of trebuchets being pushed up by the sergeants of the logistics battalion.

Since there was an academy in Qingzhou, Gewu has completely taken root in Qingzhou. Compared with the subset of pure humanistic philosophy, Gewu, which has a clear purpose and practicality, has developed rapidly in the academy. Although many times, Liu Bei is conniving at them. But under Liu Bei's vague guidance, the scholars still made a lot of small contributions.

For example, how to speed up the transfer of trebuchets on the battlefield, it took a lot of effort to disassemble and assemble them. And how to shoot more accurately and farther. The scholars also spent a lot of energy on this issue. There are also many advanced ideas that Liu Bei does not know about. It can even be called elementary ballistics. Studying these things is both interesting and beneficial, yes, in Qingzhou, as long as the study of Gewu is considered useful by the academy, according to the actual situation, there will be material rewards. The young gentlemen were still glad to do so.

Don't underestimate these small changes. Sometimes, it only takes a little bit of a lead and the victory will be on your side.

Like the trebuchet that appeared under the city of Bone Ascending now, even the stone bullets were almost polished like mass production. Limited to the production technology problems of the times, otherwise Gongcao's group of technical nerds can make assembly line production for you.

As soon as the trebuchet appeared, Juan Gu gasped, he was a Goguryeo royal family, so he naturally understood what it was. There was also a domestic fortress (also known as Maruduseong) in the Goguryeo royal fortress, but it was stupid and coarse, and it was placed in the palace arsenal to accumulate dust there. It's like the city, and it's a row as soon as it appears.

Juan Gu knew the killing of this thing, and hurriedly yelled: "Quick! Prepare your shields and quilts, collect them, soak them in water and hang them on the wall! ”

There was a scramble on the city. After a thick wooden shield of one man high was erected on the city wall, and a water-soaked curtain was hung high, Juan Gu couldn't help but smile proudly, stroked his beard, and said: "What if there is a trebuchet, a light trick can break it." Han thief, if you want to break my city, you have to fill it with your life. ”

I have to say that trickle up still has the ability. He had the impression that trebuchets were slow to fire and had poor accuracy. And it won't take long to launch, and the trebuchet itself will be almost worn out and unusable. He defended with a shield and a water-soaked curtain, both against stone bullets and rockets. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, weakening the damage blow of the Han army.

Unfortunately, he encountered an improved version of the trebuchet, which had a much higher durability than the trebuchets he had seen, and the vulnerable parts were easily replaced, so the logistics battalion brought a large number of them. Soon, Juan Gu saw the continuous rain of bullets and strikes of the Qingzhou Army.

Although the trickle was smashed a little by the trebuchet, the city was also full of people on their backs and wailing. But in the end, he held on. Trebuchets are tireless, but people are always tired. The trebuchet finished the day's stone projectile and slowly retreated. It's time for the archers to perform.

The improved longbow of Qingzhou has a longer range than ordinary bows and arrows, and basically the archers can stand under the city with a swagger and shoot arrows, but the Goguryeo people in the city can't shoot themselves.

For the enemy, Liu Bei is very undisciplined, rockets, poisonous arrows, how effective and how to come. While the rain of arrows was covered, the infantry sorted. They want to attack the city, and another very important thing to do is to find a way to fill in this section of the moat. Otherwise, don't think about getting one step closer to Susheng Bone City.

The infantry was scattered into small squads, and the tall sergeants in front wore iron armor and raised thick shields as cover. The one in the back pushed a small cart and rushed forward.

As long as they reach the river, they will overturn the car and soil into the river together.

Even with the stragglers ahead of this era, one by one Qingzhou athletes slowly fell under the blows of the bows and arrows of the Goguryeo people. Lu Zhi, who was watching the battle, sat on a high place, squinting his eyes and watching the good sons and daughters buried in this foreign land, the feeling in his heart was really indescribable.

In the era of cold weapons, it was not for nothing that Liu Bei was extremely disgusted with siege. It is almost impossible for you to enter such a strong and tall city without paying a heavy price. Therefore, Sun Tzu's Art of War also says that the first army is to attack and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, and then the army is attacked, and the law of attacking the city is a last resort. The sage and grandson believed that after the two hostile countries had exhausted all means, the last resort was to fight and attack the city. The wisdom of our ancestors is as deep as the sea. Therefore, in later generations, Huaxia has been protesting and condemning in front of the stage, and then secretly engaging in conspiracy and small actions, and resolutely not moving troops if they can not use troops, which is from here.

But in the Han Dynasty, in this era, if you want to grab the land and population, and don't attack the city, how can you do it?
