Except for Yang Ling, no one thought that black gunpowder was so powerful!
If black powder could be produced in large quantities, would there be no need to worry about the city being impregnable and unable to be conquered in the future?
In the face of black gunpowder, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will disappear in an instant!
This is the power of black powder!
"Second brother, now you know why I kicked you just now, right?"
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"The military advisor kicked it well!"
"that is!"
Everyone looked at the collapsed city wall in the distance with lingering fear.
If Yang Ling hadn't kicked him in time, Dian Wei would have sent everyone present to heaven!
"Okay, the city wall has been taken down, now it's up to you!"
Yang Ling said in a deep voice,
"The generals took orders and each led their troops to prepare to attack the city!"
"Here!"
With solemn expressions on their faces, everyone followed the order and left.
In Shouchun City.
Yuan Shu was sleeping soundly with his two concubines in his arms.
Suddenly there was a sudden tremor, waking him up from his sleep!
The two concubines were also frightened and woke up, their pretty faces full of nervousness.
"What happened?!"
Yuan Shu quickly put on his robe, got up and went out to ask.
The guard guarding the door heard a rumbling sound, but he didn't know what happened.
Could it be thunder?
But it's not like the sound is so amazing, right?
Yuan Shu murmured in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Xun rushed in in a panic.
"Lord...Lord, something big...big...something bad is going to happen..."
Zhang Xun has always been a serious man, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have appointed him as a general after proclaiming himself emperor.
But he looked so panicked at the moment, he must have encountered something big.
"What happened?"
"My lord, I will be responsible for keeping vigil at the end of the night, but... I don't know what happened just now. The north... north wall... actually collapsed..."
"What?"
Yuan Shu was so startled that he jumped up and stared straight at Zhang Xun. He couldn't believe his ears.
"You said the northern wall collapsed?"
"Yes, an entire city wall collapsed..."
There was uncontrollable fear in Zhang Xun's voice.
"How is this possible? Then Yang Ling and Cao Ang are not immortals. How could they collapse the city wall at once?!"
Yuan Shu didn't want to believe this at all. After all, it sounded too fantasy!
"How dare the general deceive the lord, but it is true! The evil method must have been used by Cao Jun!"
Zhang Xun was so frightened that even the other soldiers beside him were also panicked.
Yuan Shu saw this and couldn't help but cursed,
"You are a demon! If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will chop you down!"
Zhang Xun took a few deep breaths and suppressed the fear in his heart.
"Go and invite Uncle Liu Huang over quickly!"
Yuan Shu ordered.
"No need, Zhou Mu, I'm already here!"
Liu Bei walked in with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian in a hurry.
He was naturally awakened by such a big movement just now, and he led people to rush over.
"Uncle Liu Huang, you came at the right time! We need you to take charge of the overall situation now!"
When Yuan Shu saw him, it was like seeing a savior!
When Liu Bei figured out the whole story, his heart sank.
"Zhou Mu, let's organize our troops first and then go check out the situation!"
Liu Bei suggested.
"good!"
Yuan Shu agreed immediately.
He quickly gathered a group of people and ran toward the north wall with Liu Bei and others.
Before the group of people could get closer, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.
Sure enough, as Zhang Xun said, the entire city wall was reduced to a pile of ruins, and dust was still flying.
Almost all the soldiers responsible for the night watch were buried underneath.
Only dozens of soldiers were seriously injured, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were screaming in agony.
There was a chill behind Liu Bei, and his pupils were filled with shock.
The person who could do such a shocking thing must be Yang Ling!
But how did he do it?
Before Liu Bei could react, soldiers hurriedly came to report.
"Lord! Cao's army outside the city is marching this way!"
Yuan Shu looked at Liu Bei subconsciously.
Liu Bei frowned and said in a deep voice,
"Zhou Mu, why don't we let Cao Jun in?"
"Put it in?"
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment.
"The city wall was destroyed, the morale of the army was shaken, and many soldiers were probably not awake yet. On the other hand, Cao's army's morale was greatly boosted and their fighting spirit was high."
"Instead of fighting head-on, it is better to retreat slowly into the city."
"Firstly, we can fight with them in the streets, and secondly, it will make it easier for us to organize our troops to fight against Cao's army."
"The most important thing is that Zhou Mu must not forget that Marquis Wen is still outside."
Liu Bei reminded.
Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.
yes.
Lu Bu was still waiting outside the city with his men.
As long as the main force of Cao's army is introduced into the city, Lu Bu can launch a thunderous strike and capture Yang Ling and Cao Ang!
"Okay, just do as Uncle Liu Huang said!"
It was already past Yin hour, and the sky began to light up slightly.
The mighty Cao army rushed towards Shouchun City like a tide.
They climbed over the ruined city wall and attacked Yuan Shu's soldiers!
The ones responsible for serving as the vanguard generals are Gao Shun and Gan Ning.
The two of them rushed into the city at the head of the army like tigers descending from the mountain.
The soldier Yuan who they met head-on was extremely unlucky and was killed on the spot!
After the city wall collapsed, Yuan's soldiers were already panic-stricken. In addition, Yuan Shu also ordered not to defend, and they did not have the courage to fight with Cao's army.
But in the blink of an eye, this part of the city wall was lost.
Gan Ning and Gao Shun led Cao's army, followed closely behind, and entered the city!
Here in the streets of the city, they encountered decent resistance.
Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Lejiu, three generals under Yuan Shu, have organized their troops and are ready here.
"The rebels will die soon!"
Li Feng pointed at Gan Ning and Gao Shun and cursed.
Gan Ning was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned to look at Gao Shun, grinned and said,
"General Gao, should I leave it to you to trap the camp, or to me, the Ba Zi camp?"
In order to facilitate dispatch and management, Yang Ling carried out reforms after taking over the army.
A battalion of three thousand men and horses was assigned to different generals to lead them, and they were named according to their names.
For example, the one under Gan Ning is called Ba Ziying, and the one led by Zhao Yun is called Long Ziying.
"How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? Just give these stinky fish and rotten shrimps to the trapped camp. General Xingba will take a rest!"
Before Gan Ning could speak, Gao Bian laughed loudly, put on his helmet, and shouted sternly,
"Trapped in camp, attack!"
The fierce warrior soldiers trapped in the camp are equipped with sophisticated armor.
After hearing Gao Shun's order, he held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and advanced forward in an orderly manner.
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"
Facing the trapped camp with such momentum, Sergeant Yuan's face was full of uneasiness and nervousness.
