Chapter 217 What¡¯s the use of having too much food?
"Captain, what are you doing" Ling Tong was at a loss and a little surprised, as if he didn't believe that such an incredible order could be given by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu smiled calmly, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to ask any more questions. Just follow the orders. You will see the results in ten days."
Zhou Yu's calmness and confidence made Ling Tong's troubles worse, but he always had a deep trust in the elegant and unrestrained commander in front of him. Although he could not understand his meaning for the moment, since Zhou Yu had the order, He asked no more questions.
Ling Tong passed on this order, and just as he expected, everyone in the Wu army was stunned by Zhou Yu's order. There was a lot of discussion, and no one could guess what their Governor Zhou's intention was.
What¡¯s more, I secretly wondered whether Governor Zhou had relapsed and was confused.
However, the military orders were like mountains. Although the Wu army officers and soldiers were deeply puzzled, they could only act in confusion and act separately according to Zhou Yu's orders.
Ten days later.
After many efforts of the soldiers and the full cooperation of the local officials in the rear, the mission assigned by Zhou Yu was finally completed.
In the early morning of this day, Zhou Yu once again issued an order to attack the city.
The morning glow in the east is warm, and the morning glow has embroidered the city and countryside of Hefei with a faint golden edge. Nearly 20,000 Wu troops are arrayed in the south of Hefei City.
The soldiers are heavily armored, the flags are fluttering, the whole army is full of enthusiasm, and the soldiers are all jumping to the test, eagerly hoping that Hefei City can become the best stage for them to make a name for themselves.
"The infantry is in formation and the artillery vehicles are moving forward."
Zhou Yu reined his horse in the middle army, looked at Hefei from a distance with a smile, and issued a strange order.
The so-called gun carriage is a simple wooden trebuchet. It can throw stone bombs up to a distance of nearly two hundred steps by using the original principle of carrying a pole.
The advantage of this kind of trebuchet is its high lethality and long range, but its disadvantage is that its accuracy is extremely poor. If you want it to be effective, you must gather hundreds of cannons and launch a saturation attack at the same time. In terms of quantity, Make up for the lack of precision.
And the trebuchets deployed in front of the formation this time were only thirty or forty meters tall and could not pose a substantial threat to the enemy's city wall. Therefore, as soon as Zhou Yu issued this order, the soldiers with a little knowledge would naturally feel strange.
¡°Push our secret weapon up to me.¡±
The second order was issued, and dozens of ox carts were seen coming from the rear. The carts were filled with clay pots one by one. The gunners loaded the pots on the gun racks with weirdness.
Everyone who saw this formation was astonished.
Only Ling Tong suddenly seemed to have guessed something, and shouted to Zhou Yu in surprise: "Captain, are you thinking"
Ling Tong didn't finish his words, but Zhou Yu knew that he had understood his plan, so he raised his whip slightly and said with a smile: "Watch the fun."
At this moment, on the top of the city, Zhang Liao and Le Jin were fully armed, leading thousands of Cao's troops to prepare for another strong attack by the Wu people.
In the previous three days and three nights of the offensive and defensive battle, Zhang Liao and the others successfully repelled the Wu attack, but at the same time they also saw the Wu people's strong fighting power. In the absence of cavalry, the combat power of both sides was actually equivalent.
Originally, Zhang Liao would have thought that the Wu people would continue to attack the city day and night, but what surprised him was that after three days of strong attack, there was silence for ten consecutive days.
The Wu people besieged Hefei City but did not attack. This calmness made Zhang Liao feel uneasy. He had a hunch that Zhou Yu must be playing some trick again, so in the past ten days, he had not dared to let down his guard for a moment.
However, what puzzled Zhang Liao was that there was no movement from the Wu people. Until today, they once again appeared outside the city in an aggressive manner.
"General Zhang, what kind of medicine are you selling in Wu people's gourd?" Le Jin asked with a deep eyebrow.
Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "Zhou Yu is full of tricks and it's really hard to guess. Have you seen what the Wu people's catapults are equipped with?"
Le Jin stared carefully, doubts suddenly appeared in his expression, and he asked curiously: "It seems that they are all clay pots. Using clay pots to attack the city, have the people of Wu gone crazy?"
"It shouldn't be that simple. Let's take a look first and then talk about it." Zhang Liao did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately ordered the entire army not to slack off, and be fully prepared to respond to the enemy.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, more than thirty men's trebuchets were all loaded with clay pots. With an order, the cannons and carts gathered together, and more than thirty clay pots rose into the air and roared towards the city wall.
Although the lethality of clay pots is veryThe bullets are comparable, but if they hit the body, they will be seriously injured. Sergeant Cao hurriedly leaned over the female wall to avoid it.
The hit rate of the Wu people was surprisingly poor. None of the more than thirty clay pots hit the city wall, but all passed the line of the city wall and fell straight into the city. The fragile stone jar was easily touched and caused almost no damage to the people and buildings in the city.
The nervous mood of Sergeant Cao's soldiers was completely wiped out by Wu Ren's clumsy shooting skills. Thousands of people straightened up from under the women's wall and watched happily as Wu Ren continued his clumsy performance. He was mocking and laughing, as if he was watching a joke.
"This Zhou Yu, is he making us laugh?" Le Jin felt a lot more relaxed.
Zhang Liao was not so relaxed. He looked up at the pottery pots passing over his head one by one. The solemn look in his sleepy eyes became increasingly serious.
Zhou Yu is definitely not that simple. How could he really do such a stupid thing that makes others laugh?
Suddenly, Zhang Liao realized something and ran to the other side of the city wall in a few steps. His eyes scanned the city like lightning, carefully staring at the landing point of each pottery pot.
Suddenly, a kind of shocking horror surged into his expression.
Those pottery pots were not empty, there were actually many rats in them. Once the pots were broken, the rats came out, squeaking and scurrying around, and in the blink of an eye they fled into the void under the corner steps. middle.
¡°Rat, the jar is full of rats,¡± Zhang Liao exclaimed, pointing to the swarm of rats running around the city.
When Le Jin and the soldiers heard the sound, they swarmed toward the side of the city. After a closer look, they found that the pots were indeed full of rats. In the blink of an eye, the streets and alleys were filled with rats. Rats are everywhere, and this city has turned into a big rat nest.
"Wen Yuan, what do you mean by Zhou Yu this time? This is too, too"
Facing this absurd and weird scene, Le Jin didn't know how to describe the strong surprise in his heart.
Zhang Liao suddenly realized it, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He gritted his teeth and said silently: "This Zhou Yu is indeed very cunning. He has come up with such tricks. He is here for our food."
"Food?"
Le Jin was at a loss for a moment, then he suddenly realized what he was doing and shouted urgently: "Quick, immediately send an order to every household in the city, men, women, old and young, to get rid of the rats."
Clay pots were flying all over the sky, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of rats had been shot into the city.
When Hefei City turned into a rat's nest, the Wu army officers and soldiers outside the city also exploded.
Although the firing range of the trebuchet was set to the city, the machine was too crude after all. Some of the pots still hit the city wall. The rats that came out of the broken pots immediately scattered like squirrels on the foot-high grass. 1u¨¤n jumped up.
When Wu people saw this formation, everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Zhou Yu raised his head, pointed his riding whip at the top of the city, and said with a smile: "Gongji, can you imagine what the situation is like in the city now? I guess it must be very interesting, haha¡ª¡ª"
Ling Tong was also surprised at first, but being able to win Zhou Yu's favor as a general would naturally bring him a lot of wisdom and knowledge. After being stunned for a moment, Ling Tong suddenly realized.
"Captain, are you targeting their food with this move?" Ling Tong asked excitedly.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said proudly: "Isn't Zhang Liao relying on the abundance of food to consume it with us? Okay, I will use these tens of thousands of rats to eat up their food and see what capital he has left to waste with me." Go down."
As soon as these words came out, the truth came out.
It turns out that the order given by Zhou Yu earlier was to send out the entire army to catch old rats everywhere. At the same time, he ordered the counties and counties in the north of the Yangtze River to mobilize the people to catch rats in exchange for rewards.
After such troubles, tens of thousands of rats were sent to the front line within ten days. Zhou Yu then ordered all these rats to be put into clay pots and given to the defenders as a gift today. A surprise gift.
"As Ling Tong said, the enemy has fewer soldiers but more food, and our own army has more soldiers but less food. If it is consumed for a long time, it will be disadvantageous for our own side.
It was because of this that Zhou Yu suddenly had an idea and came up with this strange plan.
As soon as these tens of thousands of hungry, dim-eyed rats entered the city, they naturally swarmed into the grain storage area. With tens of thousands of small mouths chewing, tens of thousands of kilograms of grain were produced every day.
Although Hef¨¦i City is the administrative seat of Yangzhou, because it is located on the front line, there are not many residents in the city. There are only tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers. If the rats move their mouths, most of the food used in the city for a day will be consumed.
The big mouse regenerated into a small mouse, and one mouth turned into ten mouths. Zhang Liao and the others boasted of "enough food for a year".?, how can we withstand the torment of this rat infestation?
After thinking about everything, Ling Tong¡¯s admiration for Zhou Yu became even more like the endless waves of a river.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Thousands of miles away, Wu County.
Today, a strange face suddenly appeared in Liu Feng's tent.
That person was Liao Hua, the surrendered general who originally belonged to Guan Yu.
Facing a table of fine wines and dishes, and Liu Feng's cheerful smiling face, confusion and embarrassment flowed on that simple face.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? are all of a sudden so nice to me, what on earth does he want to do?
This burly man looked like a child who had made a mistake at the moment. The more polite and enthusiastic Liu Feng was to him, the more confused he felt in his heart.
Liu Feng personally filled a glass of wine for him.
Picking up the wine glass, Liu Feng said with a smile: "Yuan Jian, you and I are old acquaintances. I've been so busy these days that I haven't had time to catch up with you. Come on, let's finish this glass of wine first. "
