With a loud "boom", a gap was blown out of the battlements at the top of Xiangyang City. The defenders and flags on the top of the city wall were scattered around. Some people were injured by shrapnel and groaned in pain. Some people were shocked by the sudden loud noise. It was buzzing, my head was dizzy, and I didn't know what was going on.
"Is this thunder? There is not a single cloud in the sky, how can it thunder?"
The noise on the top of the city could also be heard clearly by the defenders and the people in the city. For a moment, everyone stopped and turned their attention to the direction where the loud noise came from.
Cao Ren, who was in the garrison, naturally heard it. He walked to the door with a pale face, but heard another "bang". This time the explosion came from the west of Xiangyang City.
"No, with this noise, could it be that Zhao Yi and Zhao Hongfei are coming to kill again?"
At this time, Chen Jiao, an army counselor who had followed Cao Ren to defend Xiangyang, said: "General, Liu Bei does not have the extra troops to attack Xiangyang. It must be Zhao Yi and a few people who deliberately made a noise to disturb the morale of our army."
Cao Ren nodded. He thought so too. At this moment, Xiangyang had sufficient military supplies and strong city walls. Liu Bei captured the four counties of Jingnan and relied on rogue means to steal Jiangling. He tried his best to defend but there were too few people. Where could he find the troops to attack? Xiangyang?
But as soon as Cao Ren was connected, there was another loud noise. This time the sound came from the south of the city, closer to his garrison than the previous two times. Moreover, screams and panic could be clearly heard, causing a wave of panic in the city. A lot of panic.
"Did he only bring a few people to destroy it, or did he spread the beans and form an army to besiege Xiangyang?!"
Cao Ren couldn't help but think of Zhao Yi's identity as a "disciple of the Immortal". Various magical methods emerged one after another, such as borrowing Yin soldiers from Chibi, borrowing arrows, borrowing the east wind, killing people thousands of miles away, and thundering on the ground. These were all Zhao Yi's handiworks. If this time He also spreads beans to form soldiers or borrows dark soldiers to attack the city. How can he defend it?
"General!"
Just as Cao Ren was thinking wildly, Yu Jin, the former governor of Xiangyang, and Zhang He, the former governor of Xiangyang, came over with their men and horses wearing armor and swords.
Cao Ren calmed down and said: "Let's go up to the city with me and have a look. No matter whether he spreads beans to form an army or recruits yin soldiers to attack the city, you and I will come to stop it, and we will cover it with water and earth. No one will be allowed to enter our Xiangyang City!" "
"yes!"
After all, Cao Ren was a famous general under Cao Cao. The doubts in his mind disappeared in a flash, and he quickly adjusted himself. He led Yu Jin, Zhang He, Chen Jiao, and thousands of soldiers to climb the city wall to observe who was coming.
Outside Xiangyang City, Zhao Yi changed his position again and used mortars to cause harassing bombing inside the city. When he saw the heads of the defenders on the top of the city shaking, he put away the mortars and said: "Ma Liu, it's your turn. We’re on the scene, Shamoko and the others should be arriving soon, it’s time to take over the city and open the way for the army.”
"Okay boss~!"
Ma Liu and ten other people appeared outside Xiangyang City carrying rocket launchers, and there was a circle of soldiers holding explosion shields around them to cover them.
When Cao Ren climbed up to the top of the city and saw this scene, he calmed down and said: "Only these few people? Zhao Yi... you are so bold, even if you have magical weapons, what will happen? What if I send a team The cavalry are outflanking you, and you will only die!"
Cao Ren gritted his teeth angrily and ordered the arrow to be fired.
The arrows on the city head whizzed down, but they were all blocked one by one by the transparent anti-explosion shield.
After adjusting the rocket launcher, the explosion-proof shield suddenly opened a gap on both sides, and ten meteors trailing flames suddenly rushed out and headed straight for the Xiangyang City Gate.
"This...what is this?"
Cao Ren instinctively felt that something was wrong. With many years of experience in fighting on the battlefield, Cao Ren immediately squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
The next moment, ten rockets hit the city gate at the same time, making a loud noise that was several times louder than before.
The explosion caused the entire city to feel the shaking of the ground. The city gate collapsed and shattered in an instant. The surrounding city walls also peeled off in pieces. Several spider web-like cracks appeared on the top of the city and quickly spread to the surrounding areas.
Cao Ren only felt that his head was buzzing and he could not think normally. He tried several times to get up, but he felt that the surroundings were spinning and smoke and dust were everywhere, choking into his trachea and making it impossible to breathe.
Faintly, he heard shouts of killing coming from outside the city, and then there were dense sounds of "ta-da-da" and "bang-bang-bang", getting closer and closer.
"General! Quick, protect the general and retreat! Return to the garrison and send people to block the city gate. Don't let the enemy rush in!"
Yu Jin, who was the first to recover, commanded the soldiers around him to put up their shields, surrounded Cao Ren in the center, and slowly retreated down the crumbling city.
As soon as they retreated from the city wall, they heard a roar, and the side wall of Xiangyang City Gate shattered and collapsed, revealing an obvious gap.
"Zhao Yi... what kind of evil tricks did he use? Is there no one in the world who can take him away?!"
Yu Jin was horrified when he saw this. He didn't care that there were thousands of men and horses in his city, so he only protected Cao Ren and retreated.
Faced with such an earth-shattering explosion, it is simply beyond the power of human power. What's the use of having more ordinary soldiers? How can we fight this battle when every city gate facing us has been blown down?
Seeing that the Xiangyang City Gate was completely broken, and even the city wall collapsed with a gap, Zhao Yi released his hands covering his ears, pointed forward and said: "Brothers~~~ Charge! Guard the city gate and prevent the enemy from having a chance to repair it!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Lingqi led the remaining dozens of soldiers to maintain the formation, holding the MP5 submachine gun with a fast firing rate, and began to harvest human lives.
Faced with the threat of such an explosion, the defenders on the city were dizzy one by one. As soon as they regained some consciousness, they faced the enemies holding submachine guns and were beaten into pieces in an instant.
News of the fall of Xiangyang City Gate spread quickly in the city. The local wealthy businessmen and wealthy families were frightened by the news, including the Jingzhou wealthy families who secretly funded the Killing House, the Cai family, the Heng family, and the Kuai family. .
"What did you say? The city gate was broken? The general was injured and retreated? The enemy has already rushed in? How is this possible! This is Xiangyang, with nearly 5,000 defenders. How could the city gate be broken without even arriving in a day!"
When the head of the Kuai family heard the news, he immediately broke his guard and angrily scolded the housekeeper who brought the news, and even kicked him over.
But when he listened to the noise coming from the street, he knew in his heart that it was all true. Didn't the inexplicable thunder just now coincide with the palm thunder summoned by Zhao Yi in the legend?
"Zhao Yi, Zhao Hongfei...quickly, pack up the belongings at home quickly, take as much as you can, and leave Xiangyang City immediately! Go north, go north to Xuchang!"
The head of the Kuai family knew clearly that once Zhao Yi was allowed to capture Xiangyang, the good days of the three families would come to an end. If they were lucky, their property would be confiscated, the men would be sent to the army, and the women would be slaves. If they were not lucky... ..It is possible for the entire family to be massacred.
It's just that as a wealthy family in Jingzhou, their big families have hundreds or thousands of people alone. Although the city is in chaos at this time, it does not impact their mansion. Everyone moved under the order of the family owner. They want to Be prepared in advance. Even if Xiangyang City can defend today, they will not be able to stay here anymore.
