"Uncle, why don't we wait a little longer, in case Cao Jun's artillery fails to destroy the Jiangling city wall."
Liu Qi forced a smile.
Having said that, no one knows for sure.
Pang Tong thought for a while and whispered,
"Lord, Zhou Mu, it's better to be like this. Let's be prepared first so that if something unexpected happens, we can deal with it in time..."
Liu Bei and Liu Qi looked at each other, thought for a moment, nodded and said,
"Mr. Shiyuan is right, let's make preparations first!"
After Liu Qi agreed, Liu Bei ordered Pang Tong, Zhang Fei and others to start preparations immediately.
…
Most of the current city walls were built with rammed earth first, and then a layer of masonry was added on the outside.
The city walls of Gangneung are no exception.
However, Cao Jun's red artillery bombarded them from morning until sunset. At this time, the city wall was already full of pits.
The exterior masonry has almost completely fallen away, and the rammed earth inside is also riddled with holes. It looks like it may collapse at any time.
As for the top of the city, it was even more miserable and turned into ruins.
The soldiers in Jingzhou no longer dared to stay on the city wall, but hid on the stairs. If anything happened, they would flee immediately.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Along with several cannonballs, they hit the city wall hard, and large pieces of rammed earth fell straight down.
Guan Yu bent down on the stairs, glanced outside, and quickly retreated.
Will Cao Jun's artillery fire never stop?
He couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, I saw a strong and graceful figure walking up the steps of the city wall.
"Father!"
Guan Yu turned around and saw his daughter Guan Yinping, his face darkened.
"It's so dangerous here, why are you here, Yinping? Isn't this nonsense?!"
"Father has not eaten all day, and my daughter is worried about your health."
Guan Yinping explained while holding the food box in his hand.
"My sister is so considerate."
Guan Ping chuckled and reached out to take the food box in Guan Yinping's hand.
"Wait!"
Guan Yu immediately stopped him.
"The soldiers have not eaten. As generals, how can we eat alone?"
Hearing his scolding, Guan Ping and Guan Xing hung their heads and did not dare to refute.
Seeing this situation, Liao Hua, Guan Yu's chief clerk, stepped forward to smooth things over.
"General, Cao Jun is not in a hurry to attack now. Why don't we let the soldiers go to eat in batches? Staying here all the time is not an option."
Guan Yu's expression softened, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said,
"What Yuan Jian (Liao Hua's name) said makes sense. Send an order and let the soldiers eat in batches."
"Thank you, General!"
All the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Guan Ping and Guan Xing happily took the food box from Guan Yinping, found an open space, and started eating with Guan Yu and Liao Hua.
"Cao Jun's artillery is so powerful, can we hold it?"
Guan Yinping asked.
Liao Hua glanced at the soldiers not far away, then smiled bitterly and said,
"I'm afraid I can't hold on..."
Guan Yu sighed and whispered,
"My lord just sent someone to inform me that they have begun preparations to abandon the city."
"This matter is of great importance, please do not spread it outside."
Liao Hua, Guan Yinping, Guan Ping and others were shocked.
They didn't expect that Liu Bei, Liu Qi and others had already planned to retreat!
"Dad, since we are no match for Cao Jun, why not just surrender Yang Ling?"
Guan Yinping said a little doubtfully.
After hearing this, Guan Yu's expression became stern,
"Yinping, how can you say such a thing? Your uncle is the master of the Han Dynasty, and your father is a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can you go to Yang Ling who helps Cao Cao to abuse?!"
"I just think it's pointless to keep fighting like this..."
Guan Yinping defended in a low voice.
"That's enough! Don't mention this again!"
Guan Yu immediately interrupted Guan Yinping.
Guan Yinping said nothing and just stood in the corner.
Seeing this situation, Guan Yu's eyes flashed with worry.
From Guan Yinping's words just now, he noticed something was wrong.
After Guan Yinping returned from Cao Ying, his words and deeds became wrong.
Not only did he speak for Yang Ling many times, but today he even suggested that Guan Yu surrender to Yang Ling.
Could it be that she fell in love with Yang Ling?
Or maybe she was like Zhang Xingcai, the third brother's daughter, who lost her virginity to Yang Thief...
When he thought of this, Guan Yu felt as if the juicy cabbage he had worked so hard to raise was being eaten by an old sow!
Impossible, impossible!
It must be that the silver screen has not had much contact with outstanding men, so he was fascinated by Yang Ling.
It seems that it is necessary for me to make a marriage promise to Yin screen as soon as possible.
Zhang Bao, the third brother's son, seems to be pretty good. You can mention it to your third brother later.
While Guan Yu was thinking wildly, there was a "bang" and another cannonball hit the Jiangling city wall!
Everyone didn't take it to heart at first, but the scene that followed made them all dumbfounded.
Just hearing a rumbling sound, the upper half of the city wall began to collapse on a large scale!
In just a moment, nearly a third of the city wall collapsed, directly exposing the situation in the city to the outside!
Seeing this situation, Guan Yu took a deep breath.
He ignored Guan Yinping's marriage and ordered in a deep voice,
"Tanzhi, take your sister away and tell your uncle about the condition of the city wall!"
"Here!"
Guan Ping did not dare to neglect and immediately left with Guan Yinping.
Guan Yu also summoned all his soldiers as if facing a powerful enemy.
Once the city wall completely collapses, Cao Jun will definitely start attacking!
outside the city.
After seeing the Jiangling city wall collapse in large areas under the continuous bombardment of red cannons, Cao Jun also let out thunderous cheers!
In the past, Li Yunlong was bombarding Xiuqin with Italian artillery, and now I, Yang Ziyi, in red, was bombarding Jiangling City with artillery!
Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhou Cang,
"Go tell my second brother and third brother and ask them to work harder. I will attack Jiangling City tonight!"
"Here!"
Zhou Cang took the order and left.
With Yang Ling's military orders, the artillery battalions of Dian Wei and Xu Chu were also very motivated!
With almost all the artillery shells fired, they finally succeeded in destroying most of Jiangling's city wall before dark!
Seeing the Jiangling city wall collapsing with rumbles and splashing dust all over the sky, everyone in Cao's army was gearing up and their fighting spirit was high.
Yang Ling drew out the sword on his waist, pointed at Jiangling City in the distance, and said loudly,
"Siege the city!"
Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Wei Yan and others, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately led their respective troops and rushed towards Jiangling City.
They crossed the pontoon bridge that had been built in advance and successfully arrived at the ruined city wall.
Engineers from the baggage camp followed closely and immediately began to clean up the ruins.
It didn't take long for them to clear a road out of the ruins.
"Brothers, follow me and charge!"
Gan Ning let out a roar and rushed into Jiangling City at the head of the crowd!
