Chapter 59 Sun Caohe defeated Liu Bei and Nanye attacked Sun Quan (17

Liu Bei set fire to the grain and sealed the gate, and Wu Jun failed to enter the city. After Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others grabbed some grain and fodder, they camped in front of the city, not in a hurry to attack the city, but waiting for Zhou Yu's follow-up.

It didn't take long for Zhou Yu's army to come to the city. Knowing that the generals did not catch up with Liu Bei, but made Liu Bei lose a lot of food and fodder, Zhou Yu was not angry but happy. At present, this situation is exactly what Zhou Yu hoped for. Rao City was just a small city, and soon Zhou Yu scattered people and horses to surround the city.

Waiting for the soldiers and horses to besiege the city, Zhou Yu went to the front of the city without fear and said to Liu Bei: "Since ancient times, the people who know the times are handsome, and the land under the jurisdiction of Liu Yuzhou is now all owned by our lord. Liu Yuzhou is trapped in a lonely city, with no food and fodder inside and no rescuers outside, and is in danger. Now why don't you obey my lord and save your life?"

Liu Bei did not have to save face for Zhou Yu at this time. He said righteously, "I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan is a rebellious minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I be a thief? Jade can be broken but cannot be changed to white. Bamboo can be burned but cannot be destroyed. Although the body is famous, it can be hung on bamboo and silk. If the city is broken, it is only death. Don't say too much, you can fight to the death with me."

Zhou Yu knew that Liu Bei was not easy to persuade, but now it's just a test. If he could really succeed, he could spend less time. At this time, listening to Liu Bei's refusal, Zhou Yu increased his chips and said, "Why should Liu Yuzhou be so obsessed? If the public can surrender to my lord, he can not only protect my family, but also convince my lord to restore Xuande to Yuzhou, isn't it good?

How can Liu Bei not know Zhou Yu's plan? I'm afraid that Zhou Yu will capture himself as soon as he goes out of the city, so he is not fooled at all. He said to Zhou Yu, "If you fight, why talk so much!"

Zhou Yu advised him to surrender without any results, so he stopped talking and ordered the soldiers to build siege equipment and prepare to attack the city. When Liu Bei saw that Zhou Yu was ready to attack the city, he also ordered the soldiers to prepare more rolling wood and stones to defend the city. At this time, although Liu Bei was worried about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's lack of food, if he did not defeat Zhou Yu, the grain and grass in the city could not be transported out.

Raocheng is just a small county town. The wall is low and simple. There is no problem in guarding against mountain thieves and grass bandits, but its role in the face of Zhou Yu's army is very limited. In just a few days, Zhou Yu built a batch of ladders to deal with such a small city. The three-meter-high ladder is enough. As for the Thunderbolt car, wells, punching cars and so on, they are not needed at all.

After the ladder was built, Zhou Yu ordered to attack the city. Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang and Dong Xiliu led the soldiers to take the ladder and rushed to the top of the city.

Liu Bei's defense of the city does have some geographical advantages, but it is very limited. The rolling stone fell from the wall seven or eight meters high and was very lethal, but it was not powerful to throw it from the one-high wall. Most of the soldiers in Eastern Wu were injured and did not die. It was boiling water, boiling oil, bows and other things that caused a large number of casualties of soldiers in Eastern Wu.

Eastern Wu soldiers are not fools. They can defend themselves with shields. The amount of boiling water and oil is limited, which caused some casualties of the Wu army at the beginning of the war, and then they could not be supplied. Wu Bing and Wu Jiang quickly rushed to the city in the rain of arrows and launched a hand-to-hand battle with the Northern Han army.

Liu Bei and Jian Yong are not good at martial arts, so they can only sit at the head of the town to command the soldiers to fight against the Wu army. The Eastern Wu soldiers were easy to deal with, but several generals were very powerful. Liu Bei could only disperse the white elites under his command to resist several Wu generals.

The Baiqi Army was also called the Bai Yu Army or the White-eared Soldier by later generations. In fact, the latter were all written errors. This army had nothing to do with Liu Bei's nicknamed Big-eared Thief. Bai Yu actually pointed to a shawl made of yak wool, which was worn by the commander-in-chief guards of the ancient army. Liu Bei's elite Baiqi held a long gun with a shield on his back. After hundreds of battles, both ends of the attack and defense were excellent. More than a dozen Bai Jin's troops could cooperate to block a Dongwu*.

After Zhou Tai went to the city, he met a team of white soldiers. These white elites were attacked and defended. The defenders surrounded Zhou Tai with a large shield into a half-moon shape, restricting Zhou Tai's movement. The attacker stabbed Zhou Tai with a long gun behind the shield wall and stabbed Zhou Tai from all sides.

Zhou Tai is also helpless about this kind of rogue fight, because this is a siege battle. Zhou Tai holds a knife in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, and does not have a long weapon in his hand. Zhou Tai's sword is difficult to cross the shield wall to attack the soldiers behind the shield wall, and those shielded soldiers are not afraid of Zhou Tai's chopping.

Zhou Tai, who had just climbed to the top of the city, was in danger, but Zhou Tai was not a vegetarian. He cut the left and right with a knife and a shield, and the long gun stabbed by the white army on all sides could not help Zhou Tai.

The Baiqi army was not discouraged to see that the long gun could not shake Zhou Tai. The shielded soldiers in front of him began to push forward step by step, trying to push Zhou Tai down the wall. Zhou Tai will definitely fall to death from the high wall, but if there is less than one general above the city, the defenders will be much easier. At worst, when Zhou Tai re-enters the city, he will push him down as he does.

Zhou Tai was forced to the edge of the city wall by several big shields. If the opposite was a general, Zhou Tai would be forced to go down to the city, but several soldiers wanted to push him down the city. How could Zhou Tai stop? What's more, the task arranged by Zhou Yu has not been completed yet. Thinking of this, Zhou Tai shouted loudly, stabbed several of his long guns with a knife, and then shook the knife hard. The knife directly broke through the gap between the two shields and stuck to the neck of a white army responsible for the attack, stabbing the white army to death on the spot.

The death of the robe did not make the rest of the white army retreat, but aroused their ferocity. Attack Zhou Tai's right side together. Bai's army is the elite of hundreds of battles. They understand that fear and sadness will not make them win. The only way to win is to seize the fighter plane and fight forward. Instead of being distracted and sympathizing with the death of Paze, it is better to seize the opportunity created by Paze to kill the enemy to avenge Paze.

I have to say that the attack timing of Bai Yu's army is very good. Zhou Taifei lost his weapon in his right hand after the knife, and the right side is the weakness of defense. However, Zhou Tai dared to fly the knife in battle and was not without support. Seeing that he flashed his body, he stuck to a big shield, borrowed the shield of the white army to block a half-body, and then freed the shield of his left hand to block several long guns on the right.

Zhou Tai's reaction was very quickly, and the method of hiding with a shield was also very clever. Several long guns of the Bai Yu's army returned in vain again, but the shield soldiers of the Bai Yu's army also reacted extremely quickly. They did not want Zhou Tai to take advantage of the situation and pushed forward and forced Zhou Tai to the edge of the city wall.

The wall with a height was virtual in Zhou Tai's eyes. He looked at the city and found that there were no debris such as stones and swords under the city. He couldn't help smiling, stretched out his empty right hand and grabbed the white soldier's shield, and then jumped directly down the city.
