Chapter 250 Learn from a mouse to dig a hole
After Taodun swore to the Changshengtian, he got his wish and got the command of the troops and horses of the three tribes.
Cao Cao is not easy to bully, and Liucheng is not as easy to fight as imagined.
If the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu tribes cannot be united, they will surely lose their wives and troops this time.
After Taodun, Yu Fuluo, and Tan Shihuai reached a consensus, they began drinking and talking, discussing the subsequent siege tactics.
Since Taodun took over the command of the three tribes, he also organized many attacks on Liucheng.
Under Taodun's command, the troops of the three tribes made some progress.
However, this progress is not great.
Although they had once attacked the walls of Liucheng, it was difficult to gain a foothold on the walls of Liucheng.
Not long after they storm the city wall, they will continue to be driven down.
After seven or eight days of continuous attack, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan tribes suffered 50,000 casualties, but it was still difficult to capture Liucheng.
At this time, Yu Fuluo, Tan Shihuai, and even Tadun were all a little discouraged.
The commanders-in-chief were a little discouraged, and the morale of the soldiers under their command was even lower.
After continuously attacking the city, the morale of the soldiers was low. In desperation, Tadun could only order a three-day rest.
While resting, he also killed cattle and sheep in order to feast his soldiers on wine and meat to restore their morale.
Wuhuan Camp.
Chinese army tent.
The leaders of the large tent are Taton Chanyu, Yufuluo Chanyu and Tanshihuai Chanyu.
In addition to these three Chanyus, the following are the important generals of the Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Xianbei tribes.
Today, the three tribes of Wuhuan, Xiongnu and Xianbei are gathered here. Their purpose is to discuss a way to capture Liucheng.
They have been trying for many days. Attacking the city like this every day has no meaning other than consuming their own soldiers.
Shanyu Taton stood in front of the military map, pointed at the map and said: "The front of Liucheng can only accommodate a maximum of 100,000 people to attack the city together."
"Every time we send 100,000 people to attack a city, we first need to go through a burst of powerful crossbows, a burst of slings, and a burst of long-range attacks from bows and arrows from the Han people."
"Then, there are thunder stones, rolling wood, golden juice, etc."
"After these rounds of attacks, the 100,000 troops we attacked have been injured and exhausted. At this time, the strength of the troops is seriously insufficient. Even if we can attack the city wall, it will be difficult to gain a foothold on the city wall."
In these days of offense, they are indeed facing this problem.
To put it simply, it means lack of stamina.
When their soldiers rushed to the city wall, they had experienced several rounds of blows and were already exhausted.
Therefore, even if the city wall is captured, it will still be beaten down by the defenders who are gathering strength and energy.
"Everyone knows the problem, Tadun, you have to think of a solution?"
"If we leave the army under your command, won't you be unable to capture Liucheng?"
"If you can't do it, what command authority do you want?" Yu Fuluo was the first to shout.
Fu Luo is not good at solving problems, but he is still very good at blaming others.
Now the commander-in-chief is you, Tadun. Anyway, if you can't defeat Liucheng, it will be your fault.
The battles these past few days have been rough and uncomfortable.
Taodun thought that Liucheng would be difficult to defeat, but he never expected that Liucheng would be so difficult to defeat.
"Iron armor, iron shield."
"If our soldiers can be equipped with iron armor and iron shields, they can avoid the consumption of reaching the city wall to a large extent."
"The other thing is strong bows and strong crossbows. Although our soldiers are better at shooting, they are not good with crossbows. The range of our crossbows is far inferior to that of the Han people!" Taodun said in a heavy tone.
The bottom line is that the equipment is not good enough.
If Taodun was given the same equipment as the Han people, he would be confident of capturing Liucheng.
"nonsense!"
"It doesn't matter what you say, if you give me these equipment, I can conquer Liucheng!"
"Where are we going to get these equipment? Can you tell us something practical?"
"Given the current situation, what should we do?" Tan Shihuai also said impatiently.
Taodun wanted the command of the three tribes, and Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai gave it to him.
Now, Taodun, who has taken command, has been unable to capture Liucheng, and has also caused everyone to lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, it is normal for Yu Fuluo and Tan Shihuai to be dissatisfied.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
At this moment, a fat, gray mouse climbed onto Yu Fulo's desk and blatantly ate the food on the table in front of Yu Fulo.
"Grandma's!"
"A mere mouse will bully me!" Yu Fuluo said, pulling out his scimitar and about to chop down the gray mouse.
"Wait!" Just when Yufuluo's knife was about to hit the mouse, Taodun grabbed Yufuluo's arm and saved the mouse.
"Taodun, you've gone too far!"
"You have to take care of me when I kill a mouse? Is it possible that this mouse is a relative of yours?" Yu Fuluo said cursingly.
At this time, the mouse was frightened and ran to the corner of the wall with a "swish" sound and disappeared.
Taodun quickly chased to the corner and stared at the mouse hole in the corner in a daze.
When the mouse disappears, it means it has entered the mouse hole.
"What's there to see in a rat hole?"
"Is it possible that you can learn from mice to dig holes and get into the willow city?" Yu Fuluo said angrily.
"able!"
"It's really possible!"
"We can learn from mice to dig holes and get into Liucheng!" Tuodun suddenly realized, came to the map, pointed at the map and said: "We will start digging from here and dig many trenches one foot wide and one foot deep."
"In this way, our soldiers can reach the city wall of Liucheng through the ditch. At this time, we can directly set up ladders to attack the city."
"With people in the trenches, it would be difficult for the Han Chinese's ballistas and catapults to accurately shoot into them. As a result, their advanced long-range weapons would be useless."
"Moreover, the excavated soil can be piled into mountains. Our archers can stand on the mountains and shoot at each other with the Han people on the city wall."
The grassland people's archery skills are better, and the Han people's bows and arrows are more sophisticated.
Even if their superiority in shooting skills and equipment could be smoothed out, the Han people would still have a condescending advantage standing on top of the city wall.
If, as Taton said, they used the excavated soil to pile it up into a mountain, and let their soldiers stand on the mountain to shoot.
In this way, the Han people's advantage of being condescending really disappears.
After Taodun told him his method, the generals present thought about it and thought that this method was really good!
"If you say so, this method really works!" Yu Fulo wiped his chin and said to himself: "I saw this mouse first, why didn't I think of this method?"
