The fact that Lu Bu's wife and daughter were both possessed by Yang Ling has been known to everyone in private.
As soon as they saw him standing up, everyone understood that he wanted to take revenge on Yang Ling!
"this……"
Yuan Shu looked hesitant and looked at Liu Bei aside.
A few days ago, Lu Bu attacked Cao Ying at night, but returned without success, which made Yuan Shu quite dissatisfied.
Liu Bei thought for a while and smiled,
"It's a good thing that Marquis Wen takes the initiative to ask for a fight. But Marquis Wen must remember not to be carried away by anger!"
"As long as Yang Ling and Cao Ang are captured alive, are you still afraid that Cao Cao won't submit?"
Lu Bu nodded and said coldly,
"Please rest assured, if there is a chance, I will definitely capture Yang Ling, otherwise I will come to see you!"
The sound was so loud that everyone felt chills in their hearts!
"Okay, let Marquis Wen take charge!"
Yuan Shu finally made the decision.
After some careful deliberation, everyone dispersed.
…
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
But on Cao's side, Yang Ling knew that Yuan Shu and the others had withdrawn, so he was not in a hurry to pursue them.
Instead, he led the army leisurely and marched for several days before arriving at Shouchun City.
Looking at the towering Shouchun City not far away, Cao Ang took a breath of cold air.
"This Shouchun is so tall. Compared with it, Xu Du is far behind!"
"Don't worry, sir. Although it looks impregnable, I can take it down within one day. Do you believe it?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile.
"Watch it in one day?"
Cao Ang's face was filled with disbelief!
There is a saying in the art of war: surround it ten times.
Yuan Shu's army in the city numbered at least 80,000 to 90,000. In addition, the city was so tall and strong, it would have taken at least 200,000 soldiers and horses to slowly capture it.
But Cao's army only had 50,000 men, but Yang Ling still dared to boast that he had captured it in one day.
If he hadn't known Yang Ling's personality, Cao Ang would have even thought that his teacher was bragging!
Yang Ling smiled mysteriously,
"Let's wait and see! Send my military order and set up camp where you are!"
At the same time, Liu Bei on the city wall was puzzled.
Cao's army below the city did not intend to surround the entire city. Instead, they just camped under one city wall.
"What exactly is Yang Ling thinking? Is he waiting for reinforcements?"
"Brother, I don't think it's possible. If Cao Cao supports Yang Ling, it will only be because he is insane."
Guan Yu shook his head.
After Yuan Shao annexed Gongsun Zan's forces, he now occupies the four states of Qing, You, Bing, and Ji, and has at least two to three hundred thousand troops.
This put great pressure on Cao Cao, forcing him to sit in Xudu.
Therefore, in Guan Yu's view, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to support Yang Ling.
Liu Bei also had the same idea, so he was confused.
"Why do you care so much? If Yang Ling dares to attack the city, I will let him know how powerful my snake spear is!"
Zhang Fei snorted coldly.
Liu Bei couldn't help laughing and said,
"Third brother is right. As long as we hold on to the city and wait for a while, Cao's army will retreat without attacking."
…
As the eldest son of Cao Cao, Cao Ang still inherited his father's cautious character.
After the sky darkened, he inspected the entire military camp and made sure there were no problems before returning to the camp.
But before he had time to rest, Yang Ling sent someone over.
When he came to Yang Ling's tent, he was stunned.
Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and other generals were all present, all wearing armor.
Cao Ang reacted immediately,
"Teacher, are you planning to attack Shouchun tonight?"
"That's right!"
Yang Ling smiled and nodded.
"Why do teachers want to attack at night?"
Cao Ang said in surprise.
They are already at a military disadvantage. Attacking the city at night will only increase the difficulty!
"Master Zixiu, don't worry, you will know later!"
Yang Ling gave up and said to Hu Che'er on the side,
"How are General Hu prepared?"
"Report to the military advisor, we are already ready!"
Hu Cheer cupped his fists and said.
"That's good, get ready for action!"
Yang Ling stood up and led a group of soldiers outside the tent.
I saw hundreds of baskets placed in the open space, all wrapped with dark things.
Dian Wei couldn't see clearly and wanted to move forward with a torch, but was kicked away by Yang Ling!
"Brother, why are you kicking me?"
Dian Wei said with an aggrieved look.
"If I didn't kick you, you would have killed us all!"
Yang Ling glared at him and scolded.
Cao Ang stepped forward, sniffed with his nose, and suddenly raised his head,
"This...are these all black powder?"
He once went to the craftsman's workshop with Cao Cao, inspected the manufacturing of three-eyed blunderbuss, and saw black powder.
Before setting off, Yang Ling expected that there would be an siege, so in addition to the Lingyue Repeating Crossbow and the Three-Eyed Gun, he also asked Cao Cao for a large amount of black powder.
This has completely wiped out the output of the craftsman workshop in recent months!
"Tonight I plan to use this black powder to blow up the Shouchun City Wall!"
Yang Ling's eyes flashed as he looked at Shouchun City standing in the night.
"Is this black powder really that powerful?"
Cao Ang was a little skeptical, after all, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes.
But Yang Ling was very confident.
He nodded to Hu Che'er who was standing aside.
Hu Che'er did not hesitate, summoned a group of soldiers, carried hundreds of baskets of black powder on their backs, and disappeared into the night.
Yang Ling's plan is simple.
That is to let the strong Hu Che'er lead a group of agile soldiers to reach the foot of Shouchun City under the cover of darkness.
Then a hole was dug at the base of the city wall and hundreds of baskets of black gunpowder were buried inside.
Finally, the black powder was detonated and the city wall of Shouchun was blown down!
This is why he chose to attack at night. Otherwise, during the day, Sergeant Yuan on the city wall would not have allowed them to do this.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was not until it was close to Yin hour that Hu Cheer and others turned back.
"How's it going?"
Yang Ling asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the military advisor, everything went well, and the soldiers on the city wall did not notice anything!"
Hu Cheer said respectfully.
Yang Ling was overjoyed, then raised the torch and stepped forward.
"Everyone, I'm going to treat you to a fireworks show!"
He said that he used the torch in his hand to light the fuse arranged by Hu Cheer and others.
Everyone held their breath and waited quietly.
I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a moment, and it seemed like a whole year had passed.
Under the Shouchun city wall in the distance, a brilliant white light suddenly bloomed!
"boom!"
Along with the huge explosion, a blast of shock spread in all directions!
The earth seems to be trembling!
Everyone felt their feet were unsteady and almost fell to the ground!
At this time, I don’t know who shouted,
"The city...the city wall collapsed..."
I saw that the impregnable city wall facing Cao Ying collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins!
Everyone gasped and were stunned on the spot!
