Soon the soldiers built several ladders, two thick trees with branches removed as pillars, and short sticks tied to both sides with vines to make a stop.

Danshui City is only a small city, the height of the city is no more than three feet and six meters high, and the length of a simple ladder can completely climb to the top of the city.

"General, the ladder has been built!" The soldiers came in a team of two, carrying seven or eight ladders.

Huang Xu glanced at the head of the city, they were at the west gate, and the one hundred and ten defenders in the city were also at the west gate.

Huang Xu looked at the ladders again, thought about it, and said to the soldiers: "Although there are only 100 people in the city, if you attack the city, I am afraid that we will inevitably be killed and wounded. ”

"The general just orders." Hearing this, the cavalry generals looked at Huang Xu one after another, looking like they were obeying Huang Xu's arrangement.

Huang Xu smiled and ordered: "We are located at the west gate, there are a total of eight ladders here, in this way, I will take three to feint the north gate to attract the defenders to pass, and then you take the remaining five ladders to attack the south gate." ”

"No!"

"There are a lot of people here, let's go attack the north gate." Huang Xu saw that everyone agreed, so he shouted loudly, urged the war horse, came to the middle of the ladder carried by the two soldiers, picked up the ladder with one hand, and rode away in the direction of the north gate.

There is no bamboo forest nearby, so this ladder is made of solid trees, because it is a freshly cut tree, although it is not thick, but there is still water in it, a ladder with two brackets and dozens of stepping blocks, at least two hundred catties, but in Huang Xu's hands, one hand picked it up, as if it was as light as nothing.

"Kill!"

Seeing this, the cavalry carried two ladders and ran over with Huang Xu, but they did thunder and rain, the cavalry in front ran fast, but the cavalry behind slowed down and hung behind, and there were five ladders in the hands of these people.

Hu Zhen followed Sima Yi's advice and accumulated a mountain of soil around Fancheng to resist the return of artillery, while leaving craftsmen who were good at firing cement in Wancheng, intending to build Wancheng into a concrete city.

But whether it is to accumulate soil into a mountain or to rebuild Wancheng, it will take time, and if the Han army comes in advance to destroy it, then the strategy will not work.

Therefore, Hu Zhen sent someone to pick up the relatives of the defenders of each city early, and passed down the order, the Han army arrived, and each city must hold on for half a month, if half a month later, there are no reinforcements to come to the rescue, you can surrender, but if you surrender in advance, your family will be punished.

Therefore, for the sake of their families' lives, the defenders of each city could only desperately resist the Han army. Although there are only 100 defenders in this Danshui city, but seeing that the Han army is going to attack the city, they will not sit still, and the county lieutenant saw Huang Xu going in the direction of the north gate, and hurriedly shouted: "The Shu army wants to attack from the north gate, and the soldiers will follow me to the north gate to defend against the enemy." ”

Under the leadership of the county lieutenant, the soldiers rushed to the north gate.

The Han army hanging in the rear of the city saw that the enemies at the head of the city had gone to the north gate, so they turned their horses' heads and ran to the south gate.

When the county lieutenant led the troops to the north gate, Huang Xu had already arrived at the city.

The county lieutenant pointed to the Han army under the city and shouted: "Give me arrows, don't let them go to the city, hold on for half a month, and we can save our lives." ”

Seeing this, Huang Xu also stood still, waiting for the soldiers at the south gate to make a move.

However, after a while, I saw a soldier at the head of the city running to the north gate in a panic, and reported to the county lieutenant: "My lord, the Shu army has attacked from the south gate, and now it has gone to the city......

"What?" The county lieutenant hurriedly looked in the direction of the south gate city wall, and saw that the Han army had climbed up to the city head from the south gate one after another, rushing to the north gate to kill.

Half an hour later, Liu Chan led the main army to arrive at the foot of Danshui City. The smell of blood was still in the air, but the city had been cleared of enemies.

The city gate slowly opened, and Huang Xu led the army out of the city.

Liu Chan urged him to step forward, looked at the blood stains on Huang Xu's body, and frowned: "What? Is it a siege? The defenders did not surrender? ”

Huang Xu sighed and said, "Hey, Hu Zhen has already sent someone to pick up the families of the defenders in the city and asked them to hold out for half a month. There are family members involved, and I would rather die than surrender if I try to intimidate them. Therefore, we had to storm it, but our troops suffered no casualties, only two minor wounds. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Chan nodded, and while urging the horse into the city, he asked Huang Xu, "Are the defenders all dead in battle?" Didn't surrender? ”

Huang Xu said with a smile: "They are just ordinary county soldiers, where can they not be afraid of death, the forty or fifty people who surrendered, if it weren't for the ferocious attack of our army, they would have been defeated, and there would have been even more people who surrendered." ”

Liu Chan said coldly: "Hu Zhen did this in order to delay our advance time and weaken the morale of our army, if the defenders of each city are so stubbornly resistant, then the sharpness of our army will be lost, and the speed of the march will be delayed."

Tomorrow's march, you take those living mouths together, if the defenders of the city in front do not surrender, they will be killed as a deterrent, and the remaining live mouths will continue to be brought over, in short, there are cities that are unwilling to surrender, after the city is broken, there will be no living mouths. ”

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of the army, and the generals cannot be merciful, and now in order to speed up the march, Liu Chan can only order the surrendered soldiers to be killed to set an example.

Although this is unkind, the longer the war drags on, the more people will die, and only by pacifying the world as soon as possible can we reduce casualties.

The next day, the army rested for the night and then set off on its journey.

Along the Danshui, the next city was Shangmi Township, and Liu Chan still ordered Huang Xu to lead the cavalry to seize the city first.

Huang Xu led his troops to the city and asked the soldiers and horses in the city to open the city and surrender, but the defenders here refused to open the city and surrender.

As soon as Huang Xu clapped his hands, the soldiers escorted out the defenders who had surrendered in Danshui County.

Huang Xu looked at the defenders at the head of the city and shouted, "I tell you, open the city and surrender immediately, so as to avoid death."

Don't leave anything to chance, try to hold on for half a month, don't say that I won't give you this time, even if you surrender after half a month, I won't spare you.

These people are the defenders of Danshui County, who resisted desperately yesterday and were unwilling to surrender, and now I let you see the consequences of not surrendering, and kill me! ”

With Huang Xu's order, the Han army raised its swords, and more than 50 heads rolled to the ground.

The defenders of the city turned pale with fright when they saw this, and they did not know what to do.

Huang Xu shouted again: "Hu Zhen has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, he loves the people, he deliberately captured your family, just to let you resist desperately, even if you surrender, he will not harm your family."

You surrender now, in the future our army will take Nanyang, and there will be a chance to reunite with your family, otherwise, I will lead my troops to break through the city, and I will teach you to wait for no one to stay, not only that, but your family will also be martyred for you in the future. ”
