Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
Chen Deng led tens of thousands of troops and surrounded the entire Xiangyang City on all sides.
At the same time, he asked the soldiers to keep shouting into the city, telling the people in the city that Jiangdong would never commit any crime after entering the city. Those who take the heads of the heads of the four major families, or who open the city gates, can get a hundred golds and can meet Wu Hou once.
In the next two days, the entire Xiangyang City was in chaos.
Countless people are trembling with fear.
Although the world has been in chaos these past few years, there have been wars everywhere.
However, Xiangyang City has always been peaceful and there has been no war.
Now, with the war approaching, many people are frightened and at a loss what to do.
There were cries everywhere.
What makes them even more desperate is that they know that there are only 6,000 defenders in Xiangyang City!
Moreover, the defenders were already arresting people everywhere. Regardless of the old, weak, women, or children, they were all required to go up to the city wall to help defend the city.
General's Mansion.
All civil and military ministers gathered in the hall.
Xinjingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong sat in the main seat, completely at a loss.
Especially Cai Mao sitting not far away on his left hand.
He was extremely afraid of Cai Mao.
The other civil and military officials all had gloomy faces, which made him feel like he was having trouble breathing.
He really wanted to tell the civil and military officials that you can continue the meeting here while I go back.
Here, I have to face your stinky faces.
When I go back, I can rub elbows with Ms. Cai.
Since taking over the position of Jingzhou Mu, he has realized his wish with Cai.
Cai is not only beautiful, but his skills in bed make him a little overwhelmed, but also make people's blood boil.
Everyone just sat on their knees, saying nothing.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Everyone, including Liu Cong, raised their heads and looked outside the threshold of the hall.
I saw a soldier rushing in, kneeling on one knee on the ground, breathless and saying: "There are changes in the enemy outside the city!"
Everyone became nervous.
Cai Hao stood up directly and asked anxiously: "What's the change?"
The soldier looked at Cai Mao and said: "From the four city gates, something like a catapult was pushed forward, but it was made taller by the catapult."
"A lot of rocks were also moved."
"Each of these stones is at least as big as a strong man!"
"The south of the city has the most."
"It's huge, at least sixty of them."
"Each one of these is surrounded by at least three hundred soldiers."
All the civil and military officials immediately exploded.
"It is consistent with the siege time mentioned by Chen Deng before. We will attack the city this morning!"
"what to do?"
"This Jiangdong army doesn't know what kind of siege weapons it has got?"
"General Cai, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"In the past two days, they have been shouting outside the city, asking the people in the city to kill the heads of the four major families! If these people rebel -"
Cai Mao was also upset at this time.
These people in Jiangdong are simply bullying others!
I want to surrender, but they won't give in. I want to kill them all!
At this time, seeing that the civil and military officials not only offered no strategies, but also questioned him one by one, Cai Hao roared: "Shut up!"
With scarlet eyes, Cai Hao glanced at everyone fiercely and said: "Everyone, please call all the members of your mansion and servants to the city wall to defend the city together!"
"I have sent someone to notify Wenpin and asked him to lead the army to help."
"He will surely come!"
"If Xiangyang is gone and Jingzhou loses at least its general territory, it is impossible for him not to know the serious consequences."
"Now, everyone must do their best to defend until Wenpin reinforcements arrive."
"If I find someone who is not trying his best and there are still manpower left in the mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Disband!"
After Cai Mao finished speaking, he strode out of the hall.
Upon seeing this, all the civil and military officials stood up one after another and complained one by one.
"Who are you threatening?"
"My family is all just maids, what strength do they have? I want them to go up to the city wall and die?"
"Hey, just do it! In this situation, once the city is defeated, everyone will be finished."
All the civil and military officials had no choice but to return to their homes, call all their servants out, and rush to the four city walls to help defend the city.
On the street, people gathered from all directions and headed towards the four city gates.
In an alleyway, Nangong Yan looked at the scene in Xiangyang City and quickly retreated back to the basement.
Lu Shisan and others looked over nervously.
They heard the movement at the gate of the general's mansion through their ears. They knew that something big had happened in the city, and they seemed to be attacking the city, but they were not sure yet.
Nangong Yan said with a smile: "The people in the city, as well as the servants of the civil and military officials' residences, were all escorted to the four city walls. It seems that our Jiangdong army is about to attack the city. If we keep patiently, we will go out as soon as the city is broken."
Lu Shisan laughed and said: "I'm going to be suffocated hiding here these days! After I get out, I must eat and drink enough, and have a good sleep. No one can wake me up!"
Lu Yi looked at Ma Zhong and said, "Ma Zhong, after we attack the city, let your monkeys enter the general's mansion to take a look. Don't let Liu Cong and the others escape."
Ma Zhong stroked the monkey's head and said, "Yes."
At the south gate of the city, Cai Mao led a group of soldiers and ran up the city wall.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Outside the city, ten phalanxes with at least 30,000 people were seen, all over the mountains and plains, heading this way.
At the front of these ten phalanxes were sixty behemoths that were taller and larger than catapults.
Each one seems to have a huge mouth open, making people shudder.
Surrounding them were indeed two to three hundred soldiers.
Behind these soldiers, groups of strong men pulled carriages with huge rocks piled on them.
Although it is not as exaggerated as what the soldier reported just now, and does not have the size of a strong man, each piece is at least as big as a man's open arms.
Cai Mao felt chills running down his spine when he saw this scene.
There was no report on this thing in the previous intelligence.
When Cai Mao came to the city wall, Chen Deng led an army of 30,000 men, with Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai as vanguards, Zhu Zhi as the main general, Huang Gai and Han Dang as deputy generals, and brought the thunderbolts assembled in the past two days with great force. The car came over.
The south gate of the city will be the main direction of the attack.
Cheng Pu, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie each led five thousand soldiers to guard the three gates in the north, east and west of the city.
The purpose of these three armies was not to attack the city, but to prevent the defenders in the city from escaping.
If it were a normal battle, Chen Deng would definitely give way to a city gate.
However, this time, he wants to annihilate all the tribes of the four major families and kill the heads of the four major families!
Jingzhou is now controlled by four major families.
If we don't take this opportunity to suppress the four major families, Jingzhou will still be the Jingzhou of these families. It will be equivalent to a waste of huge military power, but it will just replace the person in charge of Jingzhou.
This was unacceptable to Chen Deng.
As the current general of Jiangdong's military division, he was given full authority by Wu Hou Lu Yi to take charge of all major plans in Jiangdong. He must lay the groundwork for Jiangdong's future unification of the world.
Anyone who may block Jiangdong's future must be eradicated!
The army stopped by the moat.
Chen Deng sat at the back and looked up at the city wall, which was constantly busy. There were countless times more people than before, and his face was filled with murderous intent.
After waving to the commanding soldiers behind him, Chen Deng said: "Let a hundred soldiers come forward and give the final announcement for a quarter of an hour."
The ordering soldiers rushed forward to inform.
After a while, a hundred soldiers walked out of the army and walked to the front of the army. They all put their hands behind their backs and shouted towards the city wall: "Listen, people in the city, we are the righteous army of Jiangdong!"
"Marquis Wu has an order. Once the city is breached, the people in the city will be innocent and there is no need to worry about their safety!"
"The Marquis of Wu has always been benevolent and righteous, as evidenced by Shu County, Xuzhou and other places in Lujiang!"
"Anyone who can behead the heads of the four major families, or who can open the city gate, will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and will be able to see the Marquis of Wu directly!"
"People in the city, listen, we are the righteous teachers of Jiangdong"
On the city wall, the common people who were forced to go up to the city wall to help were terrified.
Some people started to back off.
When the supervisor next to him saw this, he immediately waved his soft whip and whipped him.
People can only continue to be busy.
One hundred soldiers shouted for nearly a quarter of an hour before returning to the army.
Xu Sheng, who was at the forefront of the vanguard behind the Pili chariot, wiped a big knife with his sleeve over and over again and murmured: "Old Ling, just follow me. We will fight on the city wall together later."
Not far away, Zhou Tai put his sword on his shoulder, looked up at the defenders on the city wall, and licked his tongue.
When Chen Deng saw a hundred soldiers retreating into the army, he said to the flag bearer behind him: "Blow the horn and attack the city!"
Suddenly, the horn sounded.
On the city wall, all the defenders looked stunned.
Outside the city, as the horn sounded, sixty catapult-like things turned, six of them pointing in one direction.
Behind them, several soldiers carried huge stones and placed them into wooden frames.
Around them, more than two hundred soldiers roared and exerted their strength.
In the horrified eyes of the city wall defenders and the people, sixty boulders roared across the sky and fell on various parts of the city wall.
Some huge rocks crossed the city wall and fell into the city, hitting the people who gathered under the city to help defend the city.
More than a dozen people were knocked to the ground, and their blood bloomed like flowers.
The people and the supervisors screamed and ran in all directions.
People step on people!
The crowd was like a stone falling onto a calm lake, causing ripples to spread.
Some boulders fell on the city wall, and the entire city wall shook.
The defenders and people on the city wall were originally densely packed. The boulders fell, and amid countless wailing sounds, pieces of flesh and blood fell to the ground!
There were cries, roars, and curses everywhere on the city walls and inside the city.
Countless people and defenders rushed towards the city wall steps like a tide. ,
The supervisors tried to stop them, but they were trampled under their feet by the swarming civilians and defenders, who screamed in agony!
Cai Mao and other generals were also frightened and squatted in the corner of the city wall.
The stoning continues!
Chen Deng looked at the movement on the city wall with a smile on his face.
Not to mention you Xiangyang minions who have never experienced a battle, even Lu Bu and I were so frightened when faced with such an attack.
However, Chen Deng did not let the Thunderbolt attack for too long.
After only six rounds, Chen Deng launched his entire army to attack the city.
As the war drums beat, 30,000 soldiers from Jiangdong rushed towards the moat like a tide.
Ladders have been set up on the moat.
Countless soldiers carried siege ladders and built up the city wall.
The vanguard army led by Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai immediately rushed forward and killed them along the siege ladder!
There was already a panic on the city wall.
The power of the Thunderbolt Chariot frightened the defenders and the people.
When they came to their senses, someone from Jiangdong's army had already climbed onto the city wall!
