The next day, as soon as the sky began, Zhu Yuanzhang left a thousand soldiers to guard the camp, and rushed straight to the city of Puzhou with more than 6,000 other people.

Logically speaking, it is not possible to siege the city like this! No reconnaissance work is done enough and he leads troops to attack the city directly? However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not intend to attack the city according to the serious military strategy. It doesn’t matter whether this Puzhou city can be attacked or not. It is not the focus of his attention. The real focus is whether the news of "Zhu Ba and Xue Hongqi came to Shanxi" can be spread to Hong Chengchou as soon as possible.

More than 6,000 troops arrived outside the north city gate, and saw that the city was already covered with officers and soldiers. Ge Wen, the magistrate, personally climbed the city tower, with a feather fan and a scarf, looking confident. He really had this confidence, and was stepping on one of the six ancient cities. How could he have all the bandits? 301, build a long wall

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the leaders were also observing Puzhou City. They saw that there was a moat outside the city. Although this moat was not very wide, it was also three or four feet wide.

The city wall is two feet high and the city wall is also very thick. Although it is impossible to see how thick it is from a distance, there are horses trotting on the city wall, which means that the thickness of the city wall is extraordinary. If you want to use explosives to blow up such a city wall, it is almost impossible!

With the northern city gate as the center gate, the thousand-jin Furang machine cannons are lined up in one line, with a thick muzzle, and pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's army, which seems arrogant. This means that if you don't show off your medieval siege weapons like crossbows, chariots, and Yunlou, you can send you to the sky with one shot.

Next comes the soldiers. Since ancient times, the Chinese army has been good at defending. As long as the soldiers have a city wall to rely on, they will unconsciously straighten their waists. This is obviously the case with the guards in Puzhou City. Their waists are straight, their morale is abundant, and everyone has a relaxed look on their faces... This army has obviously made sufficient preparations to defend the city, and almost everyone has a big bow... The city walls are rolling wood and rocks piled up like mountains, and fire bricks and oil tanks are also everywhere.

"Silk! This city... is not easy to fight!" Xu Renjie gasped and built a long wall of cold air.

"Well, it's quite difficult to fight!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "I was too naive before coming. Even if the elite soldiers who stayed in Baishui might not be able to attack this city. With the thousands of new recruits now, there would be no chance."

"What should I do? Should I go back to burn the town?" Xue Hongqi spread his hands.

"Don't mention this anymore. It's absolutely absolutely necessary to burn the town!" Wang Er jumped out and said, "Brother Zhu, let's build some ladders and attack. I'll rush to the first one and I'll be able to kill the city."

"Don't be stupid. Even if you can't rush to the top of the city, you can smash dozens of fire bricks together. No matter whether you are Wang Er or Wang Wu, no matter whether you are great martial arts, you will smash them all!" Xue Hongqi has suffered from the loss of fire bricks in Dali City, and his memory is still fresh.

"Can't I hide?" Wang Er shouted.

"Do you hide on the ladder and show me?" Xue Hongqi laughed.

Wang Er is silent!

At this time, Xu Renjie spoke: "The Marshal has many ways to break the city...well...for example, dig a hole in the ground and attack it from the ground."

"That's for small cities without moats. How can you dig holes with moats? You can't drown you!" Ma Xiaotian said with a smile.

"Well..." Xu Renjie was stunned: "Then I'll send 500 people secretly over the wall in the middle of the night, set fire in the city, and then work inside and outside to break the city in one fell swoop."

"Stop coming... After the officers and soldiers' scouts returned to the city last night, the lights were bright all night, illuminating the circle around the city wall. Our scouts observed all night but found no flaws. They wanted to sneak into the city, which was simply a dream." This time it was Miao Mei's mouth.

Xue Hongqi said: "Can you really not disguise the grain transport team again?"

"No!" Xu Renjie spread his hands: "This strategy can only be used in several cities around our Baishui. If we are a little further away, we will not be able to do it. The information is not collected enough, and this kind of big city with three thousand defenders may not be able to open the city gate if one hundred people sneak into it."

The leaders used their brains to think for a while, and felt a little powerless!

"Brother Zhu, how about you?" Everyone stared at Zhu Yuanzhang together.

"Encircle!" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Since ancient times, the best way to deal with a hard-to-attack city is to encircle... It is surrounded for a month, two months, three months, half a year... and even a year of encircle... When the food in the city is exhausted, it will naturally be destroyed."

The leaders: “…”

"Such a play without ambition?" Wang Er, Miao Mei, and Xue Hongqi were a little unacceptable.

"What is a way of fighting without ambition?" Xu Renjie understood this: "If you have a strong attack without a city that is sure to win, you will not be able to attack, but will lose your soldiers and morale. As long as the defenders in the city seize the opportunity to counterattack, they may be able to turn the defense into an offensive and kill us... So, instead of attacking hard, it is better to use the method of siege to kill the enemy."

"But... how can we be qualified to waste the officers and soldiers?" Miao Mei said seriously: "The seven thousand people here are all the troops we can call. It is impossible for the elite soldiers who stay in Baishui to come to support. However, the officers and soldiers have countless reinforcements. If we can't surround them for long, the officers and soldiers will arrive from all directions..."

"What we want is the officers and soldiers who send reinforcements!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "As long as we can continually defeat the officers and soldiers who come to reinforcements while surrounding Puzhou, the people in the city will know that they are panicked."

"But... when reinforcements arrive, the officers and soldiers in the city will definitely take the initiative to attack from both sides. They can't watch us defeat their reinforcements foolishly, right?" Xu Renjie asked.

"That's right, so we have to make some small preparations." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "I'll order the entire army to dig soil and move stones and build walls!"

"Wow? Building a wall? What does it mean?" Xu Renjie jumped up, and Wang Er, Xue Hongqi and others also expressed their confusion.

"Let's build a very long wall, build a circle around Puzhou City, and surround the city to death." Zhu Yuanzhang said a ridiculous thing, but his expression was serious: "In this way, even if the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers arrived, the people in the city would be blocked by the walls, and they could only watch us defeat their reinforcements."

"How is this possible?" Xu Renjie knelt.

"Nothing is impossible!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Do what I said and build a wall! Don't worry, just build it slowly. Thousands of people work together and spend a few months. What's the difficulty of surrounding the city?"

All the leaders found it incredible and didn't know what to sell in the gourd of Brother Zhu, but they always believed Brother Zhu, so they had to nod and said, "Then... let's build it and see!"

The messenger passed the order. After hearing this order, the soldiers were confused... Building a wall to surround the enemy? This idea is too exaggerated, is it possible? How long can a big city like Puzhou City be built to surround a circle? Fifty-mile-long walls should not be enough? Should it be built a wall of 100 miles long... This...

The entire army was full of doubts from top to bottom, but Zhu Yuanzhang usually paid the most attention to training troops to instill the idea of ​​"obeying orders" in the soldiers. Although they were full of doubts, they still moved stones and mud and started their work.

These soldiers were all new soldiers and were not good at fighting, but there was no problem as plasterers. For them, the work of moving stones and mud was more skillful than charging and striking, and at least they would not feel afraid. Six thousand new soldiers took action together, and the scene was very lively. Only five hundred elite soldiers and two hundred cavalry of Xue Hongqi did not take action, and helped them steer the formation next to them, so as not to be attacked by officers and soldiers when building the city walls.

The grand scene of the heat digging the ground and piled up mud and stones made the city's officers and soldiers confused. Standing on the city tower and waiting for the bandits to attack the city. The monk Ge Wenge, who wanted to start a battle to defend the city, was confused. He stared at the "construction site" outside the city and looked carefully for a while. After a long time, it was not until he saw the small wall piled up by the bandits that he asked his subordinates around him: "Come and tell me, are they building a wall?"

"Report to the magistrate, it seems that the thieves are repairing a wall!"

"What does it mean?" Ge Wen was confused: "I can't understand! Do they want to build a large mansion there? If you want to build a mansion, you should start from the lobby first. How can you repair the exterior wall first?"

The men were sweating profusely.

On this day, the officers and soldiers in the city were nervously guarding the city, watching the bandits outside the city building a large-scale construction there and building an inexplicable wall.

Unexpectedly, the thieves continued to repair the wall the next day, the third day... the fourth day... the thieves' wall was getting longer and longer, and thousands of people worked together. The speed was very fast. The wall had been built for several miles long. The thieves were outside the northern city gate of Puzhou, and it looked very abrupt...

Ge Wen looked left, right, left, left, right, and finally thought about something. He slapped his forehead and shouted, "Oh, the thief is planning to build an extremely long wall and surround Puzhou in it?"

"How is this possible?" The generals in the city laughed: "It is impossible to build such a long wall!"

"Yes, this is impossible. No one will do such stupid things!" Ge Wen also felt that he was thinking too much.

But... on the fifth day, the sixth day, the seventh day, the eighth day, the tenth day... the wall continued to grow, gradually getting ten miles long, and there was no sight. The bandits seemed to have completely forgotten the matter of siege and focused on building the walls on the periphery. Moreover, the bandits were leisurely leaving several door holes on the long wall. It seemed that they were planning to use it for themselves to use when entering and exiting. They were hand-tap to provide downloads of this book.

"Oh, my God! What is this guy Zhu Ba thinking? Is he really planning to use this wall to surround us?" Ge Wen felt a burst of panic.
