Everyone was scared and ran away!
"Run! Run away! Don't want this earthen wall! Withdraw to the earth city stronghold! Hurry up!"
Yuan Shao didn't say a word, and fled wildly with all the generals!
The bit of soil wall that the judge had repaired was smashed to pieces in an instant, but fortunately, they were given time to evacuate.
It's just that many soldiers were crushed to death, and many were trampled to death.
Seeing Yuan Shao fleeing, everyone in Cao Ying put down their binoculars and burst out laughing!
"That's it? Still want to invade our Yanzhou? Why don't you just offer him Jizhou? It will save us a lot of trouble!"
"That's right! Wouldn't it be better to let Yuan Shao wash his ass and wait for the lord's favor?"
"Brothers, keep smashing! Smash their earthen walls!"
This battle was fought from morning to evening, and all the earthen walls of the judge were razed to the ground!
The ditches were also filled with falling stones from the catapults!
Cao Ying fought all the way to Yuan Shao's Tucheng stronghold, and after bombing for a while, he withdrew his troops back to Liyang.
Yuan Shao in Tucheng was so beaten that he didn't dare to show his head, so he could only vent his anger by smashing things in the army tent!
"Ah!! Damn Cao thief! How dare you kill my soldiers and break down my earthen walls! You really deserve to die!"
"Adjudication! You come out for me! It's all your good idea, let me build some bullshit walls, and even shoot Cao Cao in the face!"
"It caused me to lose more than 2 people! That's [-]! Not [-]! I, Yuan Shao, only have more than [-] people, and this loss is so much!"
"If I didn't run fast today, I would have been smashed into a lump of meat by Cao thief! If you don't give me an explanation today, I want you to look good!"
Being stared at fiercely by Yuan Shao, the judge shuddered.
His mind was spinning extremely fast, thinking of ways to escape for himself!
If there is no good excuse and reason, Yuan Shao will definitely make him lose his skin today!
Ten seconds later, the judge made a decision, the panic on his face gradually dissipated, he turned his head and cupped his hands at Yuan Shao.
"My lord! This time it's not all my fault!"
"Isn't it your fault? If it weren't for your bad idea, why would I be here?"
Yuan Shao scolded angrily.
The appraiser walked up without haste.
"My lord! Cao Ying possesses such a smoky artifact, none of us expected it, so how can we blame me for not being able to judge and plan?"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly, the chill filled the air.
"Hmph! You know that Cao Ying owns a catapult, right? Why do you have no idea why the earth wall was smashed?"
Hearing this, the judge's eyes sank, and he pointed at Li Congliang angrily!
"My lord! You have to blame Mr. Li for this matter! There is a saying that a wise man is bound to make mistakes. It is not easy for subordinates to come up with countermeasures in a very short period of time!"
"So I admit it was my fault for not considering those details! But... before we sent troops, Li Congliang asserted that we couldn't do it!"
"This is a taboo for military strategists! Talking nonsense without fighting will disturb the morale of the army? People only go out to fight after praying for blessings, but he is so lucky that he cursed us!"
"And since he dared to say it, I guess he should have seen the catapult!"
"However, he didn't remind us when he saw through it. This villain just wants to see us suffer! His heart is terrible!"
The trial partner pointed at Li Congliang with righteous words!
After a few words, he left his responsibilities to the very last, and pulled Li Congliang up to be a backup.
The grief and indignation on his face combined with his righteousness made people think that he is a great loyal minister!
It's not the first time he has done this kind of operation, and he can perfectly control his expressions and emotions!
Li Congliang was obviously taken aback when he heard the trial and match, and pointed at himself in disbelief.
"This can also be drawn on my head? My lord, do you believe it?"
Yuan Shao hesitated, a little bit unsure!
Seeing this, Guo Tu stood up: "My lord! I think what the judge said is justified! Knowing without telling is also a serious crime!"
"If Li Congliang mentioned the catapult before the expedition, it would definitely wake us up like a blow to the head! We can also think of other countermeasures!"
"And he didn't say anything, so that our more than 2 brothers all died! This...has something to do with him! Please be careful, my lord!"
After finishing speaking, Guo Tu and the examiner looked at each other and nodded, and the examiner expressed gratitude to him.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt that what they said was very reasonable!
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Li Congliang is also responsible!
If you don't report it, you will delay the opportunity!
"Congliang! Did you see the important factor of the catapult long ago, as the judge said?"
Li Congliang looked at Yuan Shao and the examiner with a wry smile.
He felt a pain in the skull!
If he didn't see through the answer, Yuan Shao would definitely question his ability, and if he said he could see through, it would undoubtedly be in the hands of the judge!
It's hard to answer no matter what, because there are no people inside and out!
At this moment, Li Congliang felt that Yuan Shao's subordinates were really difficult to mess with!Not as good as before!
But with his wisdom, he came up with a solution in just a few seconds.
"My lord! I did see through it before, and I wanted to remind my lord, but... I was interrupted by Shen Zhengnan! It's all his fault, don't let me say it!"
"So this account can only be recorded on his head! My lord Mingjian!"
In a word, the hatred was brought back to the judge.
Seeing them arguing endlessly, Yuan Shao rubbed his brows, only to feel a headache.
Everyone makes sense, but he doesn't know how to convict him!
"Forget it! Shut up! The method of building an archery tower with an earth wall has failed. Think about it again, is there any other way to break Li Yang and go straight to Chen Liu?"
"In addition, send me to Jiang Yiqu to transfer [-] troops, and then send another [-] from Jizhou Chengpangji! I don't believe it, I can't take Li Yang!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yun immediately retreated to start the deployment of troops.
And the judges fell into thinking again!
A few seconds later, Guo Tu stood up with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"My lord! Someone has a good plan, but they broke Liyang City without anyone noticing it! Guaranteed to catch Cao Ying by surprise!"
"Even... if you use it well, you can even kill Cao Cao!"
When Guo Tu said this, Yuan Shao became interested in an instant.
"Public rules! Quickly tell me what is the best policy? What should I do?"
Even Li Congliang gave him a surprised look!
Guo Tu smiled mysteriously: "My lord! The solution is very simple. Since we can't beat Cao Ying in the open, then we... will come in secret!"
As soon as these words came out, Han Mengchun, Yu Qiong and others all showed puzzled expressions.
"Sir, what do you mean coming in secret?"
Guo Tu flicked his sleeves, showing his literati demeanor!
"Hehe! We can let the soldiers take shovels and dig one or even several tunnels behind our earth city, leading directly to Liyang!"
"Think about it, if after we have dug through, we send an army on the surface to hold back Cao Ying, and other large troops sneak into Liyang along the tunnel!"
"Then take advantage of the trend to capture Liyang City. When the time comes...Will Cao Cao be caught off guard by us? With no escape route, will the morale of their troops be lost immediately?"
"Then Cao Cao is the fish on the chopping board! You can cut it however you want!"
Chapter 650 Tunnel Warfare
Hearing Guo Tu's suggestion, everyone's eyes lit up!
If we can't beat them clearly, let's engage in a sneak attack!
"Okay! Gongze, your method is very good! To fight Cao Cao openly, dig a tunnel! You will surely catch the enemy by surprise!"
"If we jump out of the tunnel when Cao Cao's main force is exhausted, we will be able to capture Li Yang with ease!"
Applause from the judges!
Guo Tu helped him before, so he naturally had to cheer for him, that's how favors come about.
Yuan Shao also nodded thoughtfully!
He seemed to have seen the scene where Cao Cao was stolen from his hometown!You are facing the front of soldiers, but I secretly fucked your house!Just ask if you panic!
"Yes! Soldiers are cunning! This method should work!"
Seeing Yuan Shao's agreement, Guo Tu puffed up his chest and glanced at Li Congliang provocatively.
It seems to be showing off!
Li Congliang ignored him, and looked at Yuan Shao with a slight frown.
"My lord, the method is good, but... our place is several miles away from Liyang, if we want to dig a road to get there, wouldn't it take a lot of manpower and time?"
"Also, aren't you afraid of digging into an underground river on the way? Are you afraid of being discovered by the enemy and blocking and destroying the tunnel? You must be careful of these!"
After Li Congliang learned from the past, he has already said everything he can think of.
So as not to be trampled on your heels!
Hearing his words, several people were stunned.
Guo Tu looked unhappy: "Come here! You have an idea! Here is your chance!"
Li Congliang sighed: "You know, I can't come up with this plan, otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Guo Tu mockingly.
"Hey! I know, you want to say that if you use your method, it will hurt the peace! The lord will be cast aside by others? Right?"
"Cut! Since there is no other way, why don't you try mine? Do you have other ways? Or... you, Li Congliang, have a problem with me, Guo Tu?"
Everyone turned their attention to Li Congliang, wanting to see how he would answer.
Li Congliang shook his head slightly: "I'm not dissatisfied! Everything can be decided by the lord! I just clarify the shortcomings I see, there is no other meaning."
Yuan Shao nodded and stopped the quarrel between the two.
"Okay! What Congliang said is also reasonable, but... the strategies are all tried out, and no one is 100% sure of success!"
"Guo Tu listens!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand, Guo Tu immediately stood up straight and bowed!
"My lord! The end is here!"
"I order you to dispatch the soldiers in Tucheng, as well as the people in Chaoge, Dangyin and other places! Dig an underground passage directly to Cao Ying as soon as possible!"
Guo Tu led the way!
Yuan Shao turned his head to look at the others.
"Everyone! The news of our tunnel digging must be kept secret, and Cao Ying must not let it know!"
Everyone nodded.
"Yes! Lord!"
Satisfied, Yuan Shao left the military tent and went outside to express condolences to the deceased.
Unexpectedly, after he and the generals left, a personal guard next to the military tent showed a gleam in his eyes.
……
Cao Cao and others on the other side also dealt with the casualties.
"Huh? Where's my virtuous brother? Who of you saw it?"
