Chapter 245 – Battle To Reclaim Shouchun (1/1)
Chapter 245 – Battle To Reclaiestion to Liu Bei is very good However in Fort Wan, Jia Xu, a figure that can be said to be co nothing to Zhang Xiu Since his lord failed surrender to Cao Cao, he becoain and again To surrender to Cao Cao is his idea, using Zhang Xiu’s aunt to gain Cao Cao’s trust also his idea, those ideas will be forever associated with Jia Xu So in order for Zhang Xiu not to throw him out, Jia Xu just stay silent Even he knew that this is a bad idea allying with Liu Bei, he will kept silent While Liu Bei and Fledgling Phoenix is still dreamy about the what-if future, a bad news come!!! The news is Guan Yu lost Shouchun!!! With the next sentence, shocked everyone Entire Shouchun was emptied, everyone escaped in just one day
“HOW CAN THAT BE, MY SECOND BROTHER? LOSE?!” Liu Bei shocked and held his grip on the scout’s shoulders His second brother Guan Yu Guan Yunchang is a rare talent His skill with uandao skill is unmatched in this nation Guan Yu’s skill inFei but Liu Bei commended him a lot because he can command soldiers and can assume heavy responsibility In historical ti Province, even though the last fate is to die in Maicheng and lost Jing Province, but no one can deny that Guan Yu’s ability as a soldier is very strong And another plus point for Guan Yu is he is well-read A not well-read general is not as dangerous as well-read general Guan Yu can be said to have the prowess of Xiang Yu who can match thousands of enemies, however he also read Sun Tzu and studied erous
Guan Yu’s subordinates are 10,000 Qing Province Soldier elites Also the place that was attacked is South Gate that can be said is very strategic for defending How can he lose with that kind of advantage? This is si stopped 100,000 troops of Sun Ce army And now the attacker is Lu Bu army, how many troops can Lu Bu send to attack Shouchun? 10,000 troops? 20,000 troops? Thought Liu Bei, trying to analyze the situation “Right nohere is General Guan?!” Pang Tong inquired, his brow knitted tightly Pang Tong is very sure that with only 30,000 soldiers, no one can break any city Pang Tong also calculated all of Liu Mang’s subordinates His unit only comprised of 10,000 + naval units, 3000 Urban Arain from job advertise’s troops to another 10,000 troops bringing a total of approximately 30,000 troops
30,000 ic places It can still lose, but it will at least takecan defend a city Yes, in Shouchun there is al in order to defend against Lu Bu ar ordered for Guan Yu to ave alht now, the city is lost to the to our headquarters now He is leading 10,000 elite troops and not take enough provisions, therefore his speed is very slow!!!” The scout is replying while huffing and puffing toward Liu Bei and Pang Tong
“10,000 troops?!” Said Liu Bei while stunned Currently Guan Yu is leading 10,000 troops What does this ive up the city instead of defending it If not, how can 10,000 troops roster can be still intact? “Iive like that?!” Liu Bei said it in angry tone If the city is truly broken and had casualties like usual, he orry about Guan Yu’s safety But now, he showed hateful face toward Pang Tong It is his stratagem for Guan Yu to be stationed in Shouchun and make hi Tong will prepare for his next stratageehead This is also in order to defend the assault fro Commandery and Huai River
However now, Guan Yu, before those Pang Tong’s planning fulfilled, suddenly throw up towel and gave up Shouchun Pang Tong really cannot understand what is Guan Yu thinking, so he did not speak at all and also he is afraid of Liu Bei’s glare just now Even though he is respected by Liu Bei, and he even called hio joined Liu Bei arood to badht, suddenly there are voiced outside the eneral, please wait, please wait!!!!” That is a voice of an officer who is trying to stop his general, but he was shoved aside by hireen battle-dress, and his face is reddish Also his beard is long and beautiful, his hand is holding guandao “Second brother?!” Liu Bei stunned and Pang Tong quickly stood fro that they just discussed abro!!!” Then he knelt down “Big bro, Guan Yu failed you, Guan Yu lost Shouchun!!! Please big bro punish Yu!” Said Guan Yu while wearing ashamed expression in front of Liu Bei
Several officers also quickly knelt doard Liu Bei and said “We disappoint Milord Please punish us Milord!!!!” They are all requesting punishment same like Guan Yu for they are Guan Yu’s officers “Oh, second brother!!! You caood!!!” Said Liu Bei with kind tone Liu Bei is really worthy as one of the person who aspire to obtain a nation He is able to delve into his troops psyche’s If other lord suffers defeat, they will asked the cause and will punish their generals al for Guan Yu and his soldiers safety first “Co bro tend to you!!!” Said Liu Bei while holding Guan Yu’s hand Out of Peach Garden Three Brothers (TN: Three Gays is much more plausible), Liu Bei is theFei felt pleasant warmth from him If other person see this kind of relationshi+p, they will question their sexual preference but because it is between brothers, it is no proble Liu Bei cared for hiuilty
“Second general, how can Shouchun fall?!” Pang Tong inquired Liu Bei just stay silent on thatsaid that he repri is tired Let hi that to Pang Tong, one of his eyes, kept its sight toward Guan Yu He, more than anyone, want to kno Shouchun is Guan Yu who understand his big bro’s signal said “Big bro!!! Please let Guan Yu report first!!!” Guan Yu then released his ared into his deputy who helped hian his report
“Big bro, Yu did not give up on Shouchun But Shouchun itself is rendered to be undefendable!!!” Guan Yu said those words with bitter tone Since he followed Liu Bei, he had been fighting at least 100 battles Fro, everywhere got Guan Yu Guan Yunchang as one of the towering figure One of the reason that Guan Yu was called Saint of War, is because Guan Yu hadsoldiers and co dispatch troops from Hefei to attack Shouchun, Guan Yu was not worried even a bit He had 10,000 Qing Province soldier, he is defending a strategic place So, Guan Yu can be said to underesti ti a lot since the first ti heavily insulted Cao Cao, he is rated excellent by Guan Yu Later, when Lu Bu ar He is more impressed toward him as Prince of Shu had the ability to coe after that defensive battle of Wancheng city But what about it? Right now Guan Yu is defending Shouchun, and this Shouchun will not break unless it was attacked by 50,000 troops Guan Yu then quickly prepared Shouchun defensestones, boiled oil, etc Provisions got 30,000-shi+, enough to last 10,000 troops for 1 year And arrows had 200,000 pieces Those are suggested by Pang Tong So far, everything is prepared And now they were just waiting for Liu Mang’s arrival
Therefore Guan Yu is laughing confidently when he saw Liu Mang ar hiht a battle before? How ht Guan Yu That is hen he saw their nu had Urban Ar, however their number only totaled approxie battle against 10,000 elite defenders? What the hell are you thinking? Thought Guan Yu Guan Yu also thought of false infor’s army should numbered around 30,000 troops Now only 10,000 troops are here, while he is in deep thought, his scout ca to Lujiang When he got that information, he really felt relieved as this Prince of Shu is only good at paper warfare and those victories froenerals which attributed to hi is just only a naht Guan Yu Liu Mang’s subordinates only numbered 10,000 people and all of thehed at least a hundred jin (50 kg), they will be unable to cli ladder as the ladder will break the arded Liu Mang and his ar But his s army suddenly halted their march at approxie, no arrow can reach their targets At this tiolden ar dark yellow aruard Huang Zhong As per custo show himself before the battle, to ask ene is very impolite, he only said that Guan Yu and his Qin Province soldier to get the hell out of the city in half an incense ti’s words made Guan Yu irritated to the max What the hell? Adare to speak like this to ht Guan Yu Guan Yu felt so irritated that rather doing siege defense, he is just going to open the ht the battle like a man, he must show this Prince of Shu their class difference However it is not his style to do so Instead he picked up a five-dan bow and shot toward Liu Mang “Pah, ingrates!!!” Liu Mangthat red-faced Lord Guan The reason that he did not immediately attack the city is because his opponent is Lord Guan He is forever praised for his loyalty and his martial arts and he is also a subject of worshi+p
Since Liu Mang’s offer is rejected, then fine!!! At least Guan Yu tell hi then return to his troops Liu Mang brought not only Urban Arht artisans to Shouchun, to settle down in that place Right now so care of their faht another derivative of ballistae, that thing was catapult Catapult usage is a bit si Catapult is not like trebuchet which had a se is its s size and the distance is not far
In Liu Mang’s hand now, the catapult is using Archimedes lever principle better and also it had a pinion to pull back the are weapon that throws boulders or anything siood, but sometimes trebuchet’s firepower is s is also cumbersome, as the operator need to pull down the trebuchet arm to reload, also due its aht] will becoht]), its accuracy is very bad and a lot of ti pinion, as long there is no earthquake, the ar as the arm can support, they can throw 500 pound stone and because of thisdistance is larger For example, with distance 500 steps, one can project 300 pound stone, if the distance is 700 steps, one can project 100 pound stone Noith Shouchun is only 500 steps, Lord Guan The Second will feel the rain of 300 pound stones
They are built using 10,000along with co’s supply troop is a stones and pile the then draw his sword and screamed his order “ALL CATAPULTS!!!!! FULL assAULT!!!!” And with that order, bo his one-ht and ed to produce 50 catapults Shouchun as bombarded with 50 stones Wherever it hit, it destroyed everything, ood is their heavy ar hole
What the hell is this? Guan Yu really stunned!!! While he is stunned, a big stone is closing into Lord Guan The Second “General, be careful!!!” His deputy sacrificed his life to push his general That man become a meat patty almost immediately and such scene was very common on each wall side Trebuchet? This is impossible, it can’t be!!!! Guan Yu in denial Lord Guan The Second had seen trebuchet, during Dong Zhuo Uprising After they ed to defeat Lu Bu at Hulao Gate, those warlords pull out trebuchet in order to capture the location However that thing need to be at distance of 100 steps This thing under the city is at 500 steps distance, what the hell is this thing?
