Chapter 278 Pang Tong offers suggestions

"Roar over, rush over!" Liu Pi shouted loudly. As long as he rushed over, rushed under the city wall, and boarded the ladder, this small Guangzhou would be no longer a concern.

But the idea is good, but the fact is cruel. It is indeed rushing over. The scale of five thousand people has entered the city together. Gwangju, which has only two thousand defenders, will definitely be exhausted. Gwangju has no danger to defend. It can be said that this Gwangju city may be broken.

But do you really think Hao Shao’s moat is digging and playing with it. The two ends are not connected so that the soldiers who siege the city walk on the flat ground in the middle. No one is a fool. How could he walk on the moat without walking on the road that is well-passed? It is difficult to climb up if he accidentally falls into the river, so everyone chooses the flat ground in the middle.

Five thousand people said that there were no more or less, but it would be really difficult to say that it was on the small flat ground in the middle. Even if the Yuzhou army entered in an orderly formation at the beginning, it would be in chaos now that it was shot by several waves of arrows. Who would want to be shot to death by arrows? The people in front had to retreat to the back. When the people in the back heard Liu Pi's words, they had to rush forward. As soon as the two sides canceled out, the entire flat ground became chaotic and pushed each other. Not to mention rushing over, it would be difficult to take a few steps now.

The crowded front and back happened to become Hao Shao's target on the city tower, and it was a fixed target. He missed one or two shots, and so many people squeezed into such a period of time and missed another shot, either blind or intentional. He screamed countless times.

"My lord, let General Liu Pi retreat!" Pang Tong could no longer bear to see. These five thousand people were just to catch turtles in a jar. That piece of flat ground was a cage. If you couldn't get in, you could only stand there and be shot. You were still counting on rushing over. When you rushed over, there were probably not many left of five thousand people.

"Ming Jin, stop the troops!" Liu Bei's face was not good. Five thousand people didn't even touch a hair from their own body, but were blocked on the plain because of their own.

"Oh!" Liu Pi shouted fiercely, "Mingjin withdrew his troops!"

Retreat is much better than the order to rush over. After all, those in the front row don’t want to stay in the front row for a moment. And those in the back row don’t want to rush forward when they hear the withdrawal, and they are unified in a rare way. The withdrawal speed is quite fast.

"Stop!" Hao Shao waved his hand and told his subordinates to stop shooting. He ran quite fast. If Liu Pi had been asking his subordinates to charge, Hao Shao would have been going to pull out the remaining 1,000 people to shoot together. Such a fixed target would definitely shoot a bunch of ten rings, and five thousand people would be swallowed by him Hao Shao. However, Liu Pi withdrew his troops and took the bow and arrows in Hao Shaocheng, so he stopped shooting.

"How! Are you still afraid!" There were corpses under the city of Guangzhou, but there were no injuries in the city. Hao Shao would not let go of this opportunity. Use them to inspire the morale in the city.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Of course, they were not afraid. At first, they still had a kind of fear, because there were too many enemies under the city, but when Hao Shao was intimidated, their retreat was completely blocked. If they did not kill the enemy, the enemy would come to kill them. No matter whether they surrender or abandon the city and escape, there would be no way to survive. Instead of dying so cowardly, it would be better to fight. Now, under the leadership of Hao Shao, they have won the first wave of attacks of the enemy. Their confidence and morale have risen. There are thousands of corpses left under the city, and the enemies are only 20,000. What are you afraid of!

It was not a thousand corpses, but more than 2,300 people. Liu Bei's face was so cold that water dripped out of water. He would not have been so angry because Liu Bei had been through the battlefield for a long time, and he could not see Hao Shao's idea. The moat was only dug out at both ends. The pioneering land in the middle was left to attract the army to pass. In normal times, Liu Bei might not blame Liu Pi and even appease Liu Pi. But now not only Liu Bei's own army is here, but Zhang Xiu is also there. Five thousand people attacked a city defended by 2,000 people, and 2,300 people were killed in one wave, and many injured people were also killed. It can be said that the casualties and injuries reached 3,000 people. Even a ladder did not build a wall of Guangzhou. This was not only a blow to morale, but also a joke on Zhang Xiu next to him.

Liu Bei judged a gentleman by his villain's heart. Not only did Zhang Xiu not mean to read Liu Bei's joke, but he thought a little. Liu Bei took Gushi Anfeng without any effort, which surprised Zhang Xiu. No matter what, there were two cities. Generally, there were no one in the siege that could not be taken down for ten or half a month. Even if there were many soldiers, it would take three or four days. However, Liu Bei's command only had a drink and these two cities were taken down, which could be said to have surprised Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu also treated Hao Shao's method of defending the city in a different way, because Wancheng was not dangerous, and even because of the terrain, Wancheng had no moat. Hao Shao's method of defending the city reminded Zhang Xiu that if trenches were dug out around Wancheng, only a flat ground in the middle was left. If the enemy attacked, the terrain of Wancheng was high, and he would not use a bow and arrow like Hao Shao, but would directly pull the cavalry out a charge. Not to mention the casualties of two thousand people, five thousand people would have to be left behind.

"My lord!" Liu Pi was also a little dirty. He had already promised to take down the small town of Guangzhou with one charge. Who knew that he had taught a lesson to him without even touching the edge of the city. He had ridiculed the archer for putting the moat incorrectly, which was even a joke. Now it seems that he, Liu Pi, had become a joke.

"Continue the attack!" Liu Bei waved his hand and let Liu Pi say nothing more. Hao Shao's words made Liu Bei very upset. Now that he has injured so many of his soldiers, how could Liu Bei be able to withstand this tone?

"Me!" Liu Pi wanted to say something and was stopped by Pang Tong.

"General Liu Pi should listen to the lord's continued attack!" Liu Bei is sometimes very good, maybe pretending, but usually he will only comfort him even if the general is defeated. Although he is very displeased, he still has the ability to do his best on the surface. Now he doesn't even do the surface of his kung fu, which means that Liu Bei is really angry. If Liu Pi continues to talk about it, he will only make Liu Bei even more angry, so Pang Tong hurriedly stopped him.

"Yes!" Liu Pi could only nodded and walked out of the big tent. He couldn't help but sigh as soon as he came out of the big tent. He wanted to say too much but wanted to get some advice from his lord Liu Bei or others, because he had already suffered from Hao Shao's losses just now. Now he can't send troops to attack Guangzhou directly! Should he go to the moat? Or go to the flat ground? Even if he took down Guangzhou, his Yuzhou army would shrink by half according to the current combat losses!

But now Liu Bei is angry, and Liu Pi can only find a way by himself. If it really doesn't work, then attack! Liu Pi gritted his teeth and thought.

"General Liu Pi stayed!" Just as Liu Pi was about to leave the central army and return to his command, he was stopped by Pang Tong.

"Military advisor!" Liu Bi hugged Pang Tong with fists. Pang Tong can now be regarded as the second-ranked figure of Liu Bei's army. The number one figure among civil officials, even Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei obeyed Pang Tong's will, so Liu Bi dared not disrespect Pang Tong.

"Where is General Liu Pi going?" Pang Tong walked out and asked with a smile.

"Military advisor, of course, this is a re-entry army to attack Guangzhou again!" Liu Pi was a little confused. Didn't you, Pang Tong, ask me knowingly? Was my time wasted!

Pang Tong looked at Liu Pi's expression and knew that Liu Pi had complained, "Then the general has a way to break Guangzhou!" Pang Tong asked again, Liu Pi had nothing to say when he asked.

"This. There is not this yet!" Liu Pi's mouth was very bitter. At worst, the entire army would press onto the moat, go to the flat ground, attack the city, and fight for countless casualties and even take down this small Guangzhou.

"Tong has a word, I don't know if the general wants to listen!" Pang Tong said to Liu Pi with a smile. Liu Pi no longer has the same kind of spirit as before.

"Military advisor is serious!" Liu Pi's eyes lit up. Pang Tong was the second-in-command Liu Bei's army. All Liu Bei's army's plans were formulated by Pang Tong. He planned Lu Bu's army, Zhang Xiu, and the next Yangzhou this time, Pang Tong was planned by Pang Tong. It can be said that Pang Tong is the brain of the entire Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei was just the person who issued the order. Now that Pang Tong wants to help him give advice, Liu Pi may refuse so much.

"General Liu Pi, Mr. Pang has three strategies, upper, middle and lower, I don't know which one is General Liu Pi willing to use!" Ancient strategists did not say the three strategies of upper, middle and lower, and let you choose, but the three strategies of upper, middle and lower are all for the same purpose, but the process is different. He just gives you a suggestion. The decision is in your hands.

"Sir, please teach me!" Liu Bi clasped his fists at Pang Tong, almost kneeling down and calling out sir. He used to call out military advisors, which was a title for posts. But now calling out sir is a kind of respect for Pang Tong.

"This is the worst strategy for General Liu Pi. He will set up a large army and besiege Guangzhou from all sides, launch an attack in groups, not afraid of casualties, just for victory! General Liu Pi has an army of 20,000, and even if the casualties were just now, he could still give out more than 15,000. In this small Guangzhou city, there are only less than two thousand people. If he attacks and attacks fiercely, he will inevitably break the city!" The worst strategy mentioned by Pang Tong is to attack the city without any brains. The number of people is ten times that of the enemy. At worst, he can use the head to pile up. No matter how strong the soldiers under your command are, your city is strong, and no matter how well the moat is built, you can fight ten of them at one time! No! Since you can't, then wait for the city to be destroyed!

"What about the military advisors' top plan!" Liu Pi rejected the worst plan without thinking. Just kidding. If he had a strong attack, Liu Pi would have gone long ago and would have to be so sad. He took a small Guangzhou and attacked him. After the disaster, countless casualties were killed or injured. Not to mention that Yangzhou was as big as that, there were Hefei Lujiang, Shouchun and Chengde to fight. Just say that he would die if he had won a small Guangzhou. How could he raise his head to be a human being in Liu Bei's army in the future? Even Liu Bei would be disdainful of himself!

"Haha, this is the most important strategy!" Pang Tong naturally knew that Liu Pi would not choose a bad strategy, but the bad strategy was the most time-saving. There were high casualties in the brain, but it did not waste time. He could really take Guangzhou before sunset today. Although there might be heavy casualties, Liu Pi would not only not be angry, but would also appreciate Liu Pi, because this person was very obedient. In order to take care of the face of the lord and not his own interests, Liu Pi lost his military power not only was it not a bad thing, but also gained further appreciation from Liu Bei. After all, you, Liu Pi, have a 20,000 army.

There, almost half of Liu Bei's army's military strength was occupied. How could you let a lord not worry? Moreover, Liu Bei was not good at arranging his confidants in Liu Pi's army, but he was afraid that Liu Pi would be cold. Because Liu Pi had given Runan to Liu Bei after all, he was suspicious and undoubted about Liu Pi. He wanted to take Liu Pi's military power and fear that Liu Pi's heart was very contradictory. If Liu Pi could figure it out in this battle in Guangzhou, he would give up some military power and gain Liu Bei's trust and appreciation, he might be able to go further in Liu Bei's army.

However, since Liu Pi couldn't think of this and couldn't bear to give up military power, then we can't blame him for not reminding him. Sometimes the reason is that simple, but it cannot be broken. Then let's shine the Zhongshou!"

"Zhongce means to fill this moat! Do it according to the general idea of ​​siege!" Pang Tong, whether your moat is deliberately built like this or unintentionally, I will fill it all for you, send troops to block your moat and turn it into flat ground, so that you can guard Guangzhou without any danger, and then wait to be taken down. This is called dealing with changes with constant change.

"What is the best strategy for the military advisor!" Liu Pi frowned. This strategy is indeed a good idea. When the moat was filled, the outside of the Guangzhou city wall became wider, and his troops could be deployed. However, this strategy was too time-consuming. The moat outside the Guangzhou city was not shallow. It was the water of the Huai River. If one of them sent people to fill the river, it would have to take several days. This was the case where the defenders on the city were not disturbed. If the arrows were shot on the city wall, the time would be longer. Liu Bei wanted Liu Pi to take Guangzhou as soon as possible.

"The best strategy is to use a rushing car!" Pang Tong looked at the small town in front of him. "Although Hao Shao built the moat like this, this building also left him a flaw!" The moat was divided by the flat ground in the middle, in order to use the people to seek profit and avoid harm, so that everyone could rush up and block the flat ground in the middle. In order to attract enemies, this flat ground was built very spacious. Just now, 5,000 people could put it down, and Pang Tong looked at it and could walk about five cars side by side.

It is possible to leave people on the flat ground, so they can naturally walk other things, and the rushing is also among them. Moreover, because of the flat ground, the rushing car is more and more able to leverage the power. It can be said that once there is a rushing car to attack the city, Guangzhou will be uncomfortable, because there is no suspension bridge, and it is impossible to resist the impact of the rushing car with just one city gate. You can't even see that a city gate as big as Anhui City can withstand the impact of the rushing car! Once the city gate is knocked open, Guangzhou will be broken.

"The best strategy is to choose the best strategy!" Liu Pi really lit up his eyes. He could not choose the worst strategy, because this is a matter of military power. Although the middle strategy is good, it is too slow. When will it take to fill the moat? This best strategy is to use a rushing car!

Liu Pi seemed to have seen his rushing car accelerate on the flat ground and rushing to the city gate. Once the city gate is broken, as long as the personal guards are sent to follow him and control the city gate, then Guangzhou can be determined!

"Sir, I will never thank you. After this incident, I will definitely visit you! The matter is urgent, so I will go first!" Liu Pi clasped his fists at Pang Tong.

"Go, go!" Pang Tong said to Liu Pi without any blame. It was not without premise for Pang Tong to help Liu Pi. Like Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, Pang Tong also wanted a subordinate who belonged to him directly. Although Liu Bei's army trusted him very much and gave him half of the military power, the commanders were his second and third brothers. Zhang Fei was fine, and Guan Yu had to think about it everywhere. What should he do if he didn't do it? It would be good if he was an ordinary military advisor who could have his own thoughts, but Pang Tong was not ordinary.
