Chapter 485 Chaisang is Very Hurt
After joining forces in Hefei, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had about 15 battle-ready soldiers left under their combined command.
Sun Quan spent countless money and food on this expedition, and nearly [-] soldiers were killed or injured. The loss is not insignificant.But if he hesitated for a while longer, his loss might be more than that.
After withdrawing the siege of Hefei, Jiangdong soldiers began to enter the warships in Chaohu Lake in batches and orderly.
Xiahoudun and Liu Ye didn't understand what the Jiangdong army wanted to do, and it was too late when they wanted to make another surprise attack when they boarded the warship halfway...
The Sun family's navy is indeed very powerful, there are at least [-] warships in Chaohu Lake alone.
Moreover, among the more than 2000 warships, there are eighteen large-scale ships that can carry 2000 people or more.
The building boat is tall and majestic, with a square bow and paddles on both sides like centipedes with many feet.A three-story ten-foot-high building was built above the deck, and each floor was surrounded by a half-person-high parapet. The first floor was surrounded by wooden boards to form a battle grid. The hole, since it can be attacked from a distance and defended from a short distance, can accommodate thousands of soldiers.
The building boats were parked on the surface of Chaohu Lake, and thousands of archers were condescending to guard them, like a moving fortress.The fighting boats, boats, boats, and other small boats next to them are like fish and shrimp facing sharks in front of giants like building boats, full of oppressive feelings.However, due to the complex construction and high price of building ships, their financial resources, material resources and manpower are far inferior to those of Cao Cao, who dominates Hebei in the Central Plains, so there are only eighteen building ships in the entire Jiangdong industry.
Xiahoudun and Liu Ye in the distance looked at the building boat not far from the shore, and tried to launch several attacks but were shot back by random arrows.
In desperation, they could only watch the Jiangdong Navy sail away slowly.
......
Lu Yan's navy has now marched to Chaisang City, and Chaisang City is not far from the river, completely exposed within the range of the cannon!
Sima Yi said next to Lu Yan: "Chai Sang City is the gateway to the east and west of the river. The city is high and the ponds are firm, and the food and grass are also well stocked. This time the Jiangdong Army is going north, half of the food is estimated to come from Chaisang City."
Su Fei nodded, and then said: "If we can create a little trouble for Chaisang City, maybe we can effectively fight against the arrogance of the Jiangdong Army."
At this time, Lu Yan suddenly said: "It will take at least two or three days for Sun Quan to return from Chaohu Lake. This period of time is enough for us to capture Chaisang City several times!"
"Siege???" Sima Yi and Su Fei were taken aback when they heard the words...Su Fei shouted in his heart: "No, what I just said seems to be causing trouble..."
"Siege!" Speaking of siege, Gan Ning suddenly became excited, "Sir, what do you really want to do?"
Lu Yan turned to look at Sima Yi, Gan Ning and Su Fei, then nodded firmly and said, "Do it!"
Sima Yi and Su Fei looked at each other, and read a word from each other's eyes: "Crazy!"
Due to the limited space, only fifty warships docked near the river bank this time.
On the ship, the barrels of the cannons have been pushed out of the ship's side, and the muzzles of the black holes have been aimed at Chaisang City on the south bank of the Yangtze River!
The place corresponding to the gun mouth is Chaisang City, and there are still many people pointing at the fleet on the other side, and they don't know that they are about to face disaster.
Lu Yan didn't want to hurt innocent people, so he ordered the first round of empty bombs to be fired in order to scare and disperse the onlookers.
"Prepare!"
As the command flag was raised, the soldiers who had already been selected for loading training immediately loaded the gunpowder.
"ignition!"
With an order, the artillery lit the fire letter, and fifty warships and hundreds of artillery all made a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth!
"Boom!!!"
Countless loud noises shook the heavens and the earth!
Some of the people on the shore fell to the ground in fright, and some fled in all directions with their heads covered in fright.
The huge ship in the river and the loud noise from the huge ship caused chaos in Chaisang City.
Xu Sheng, the guard of Chaisang City, led his personal guards up to the city wall to observe.
They received a letter two days ago, saying that Cao Jun's navy had entered the Yangtze River and asked them to take strict precautions.
Now it seems that the huge warships slipping by the river are those warships of Cao Jun's navy!
"Ahh! Such a terrible thunder, is Thor angry?!"
"Cao...is Cao Jun!"
"Where are people? Where is Cao Jun?"
When Xu Sheng came up, the soldiers on the walls of Chaisang City were terrified.
After shouting a lot, no one paid any attention to it, so Xu Sheng drew out his sword and chopped down two soldiers who were running around like madmen with their heads in their hands, only then did the others come back to their senses.
"What are you panicking about! Go back to your posts!"
Xu Sheng's words calmed down the defenders, and returned to their positions tremblingly.
At the same time, after confirming that the crowd of onlookers had almost dispersed, Lu Yan was finally about to get serious!
"Load live ammunition and start attacking the city!"
Before Lu Yan finished speaking, Gan Ning, who was as excited as if he had been drugged, had already stuffed a cannonball into the barrel with his own hands!
"Go away, let me do it!" Gan Ning stuffed the cannonball into the barrel, grabbed the torch from the soldier who was about to light it, and said, "I'm going to kill these bastards!"
"Prepare!"
"ignition!!!"
"呲呲呲!"
"Boom!!!"
The cannons exploded again!
But this time is different from the last time, accompanied by the flashing fire, there are deadly shells bursting out of the barrel!
"boom!!!"
A cannonball accurately hit the city wall amidst the roar, and immediately a burst of rubble flew over the city wall, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains!
On Chaisang City, dozens of soldiers who were patrolling the city wall were killed immediately.
A few unlucky ones were hit by the gravel and died, some were blown away by the strong shock wave and fell to the foot of the city wall on the other side; He jumped off the city wall towards the inside of the city and fled with his life.
"Boom!"
One after another, the shells hit!
The wall of Chaisang City facing the Yangtze River was uneven and shattered by the bombardment in an instant!
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"What is that, it's scary!!"
"Run for your life, Lei Gong has shown his power!"
Under the protection of his personal guards, Xu Sheng was not injured, but there was a lot of dust on his body and head, making him look a bit embarrassed.
After he got up, regardless of his fear of Cao Jun, he quickly shouted: "Calm down! Give me the cold...!"
Before the second calm word was spoken, Cao Jun's second round of bombardment came again!
"Boom!"
"here we go again!"
"Escape!"
The city wall under my feet shook violently again!
Feeling the stronger and stronger vibration, Xu Sheng thought something bad in his heart, so he shouted: "Everyone pull down the city wall, hurry up!"
However, Xu Sheng's words were still half a step late.
Different from the first round of calibrated shelling, the second round of shelling was followed by the third round of shelling!
After three rounds of bombardment, the city wall of Chaisang City, which was extremely strong in the eyes of Jiangdong people and soldiers, collapsed like this!
Xu Sheng was quick to jump off the city wall first, but many of the soldiers who hadn't escaped in time died with the collapse of the city wall.
Seeing the collapse of large sections of the city wall, many soldiers who escaped from death and the people in the city swallowed their saliva one after another, their eyes filled with fear.
The bombardment has not stopped yet, the three-masted battleship has put down many small boats, and Gan Ning and Su Fei have already boarded the south bank of the Yangtze River in small boats!
"Up, up, up! Follow me up!"
At this moment, Gan Ning actually has the same feeling as when he was a Jinfan thief, his excited eyes glowed green,
"Rush into the city with me, grab and burn all the food in Chaisang City!"
"Kill!!!"
Chapter 486 is finally here, fat meat delivered to your door!
After several rounds of bombardment, even though the bombardment had stopped, the terrifying roar still reverberated throughout the world, as if the thunderbolt descended by the Lord of Heaven was enraged and refused to dissipate for a long time.
Countless people turned their gazes to the half-collapsed city wall, with horror and disbelief in their eyes.
After the hustle and bustle, the rest of Chaisang City is quiet, no, it should be said to be dead quiet!
The afterglow of the setting sun became more gentle, as if comforting the severely damaged Chaisang City.
Huge panic began to spread in the hearts of the people in Chaisang City.There has been no war for more than ten years, and the city has somewhat forgotten the cruelty of war.
After a brief silence, a shocking cry erupted outside the city: "My sons, follow me!"
This cry seemed to shatter all decay.
The lingering sound reverberated between the heaven and the earth, shocking everyone in the city so that their legs went weak.
"kill!!!"
"Jingle Bell!!!"
Where the bell goes, there is no peace!
The guards and soldiers who had just climbed out of the pile of rubble looked up and saw Cao Jun rushing towards them. The large black area was really heart-rending!
Even the guard Xu Sheng's complexion was a little pale at the moment. When the flames of war came, no one could be spared.
In the evening breeze, Sima Yi rushed over and reported to Lu Yanhui in a rare sonorous voice: "Report to the teacher, the artillery battalion has completed six rounds of shelling and successfully destroyed the enemy's city wall!"
Lu Yan's expression was neither sad nor happy, and Gu Jing was calm, "Very well, next, the archers will line up and prepare to meet the return of Xingba's army."
"Here!"
After Sima Yi clasped his fists in a dignified manner and gave a military salute, he ran away again.
Chaisang City has only one outer city, and no urn city was built.
After the outer city collapsed, Gan Ning led the landing soldiers to drive straight into the city.
The defenders of Chaisang City had been completely destroyed by the cannons, and they couldn't raise even the slightest thought of resistance in the face of the rushing Cao army.
Escaping was their only option, and the other option was to kneel down and ask for surrender.
For the Jiangdong soldiers who surrendered and fled, Gan Ning did not pay attention to them.
Naturally, Gan Ning would not deliberately target the people in the city.
What they have to do is to go straight to the warehouse where the grain is stored in Chaisang City... As long as the fire goes down, nearly half of Jiangdong's grain will be lost!
Xu Sheng saw Gan Ning's purpose, but he was powerless to stop him.
Originally, he wanted to delay Cao Jun's attack by fighting to the death, but Xu Sheng, who was hit physically and mentally, was captured alive without even making a single move by Gan Ning.
Zhou Yu was looking at the distance of Moling alone on the bow of the boat.
Suddenly, Lu Meng hurried to his side, pointed in the direction of Chaisang City on the other side and shouted:
"Look, Commander! The sky over there is red, it seems to be on fire!!!"
Zhou Yu quickly turned around to look, and after a while he opened his eyes wide and shouted, "No! That's the direction of Chaisang City!!!"
Hearing the exclamation of Lu Meng and Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, who was sulking in the cabin, rushed out immediately!
"Gongjin, Ziming, did you find anything?" Sun Quan came to Zhou Yu and Lu Meng and asked.
With anger on his face, Zhou Yu pointed in the direction of Chaisangcheng and said, "My lord, Chaisangcheng may have been murdered by Cao Jun!"
"What did you say!" Sun Quan's eyes were tearing apart, and the muscles on his face were twisted into a ball.
Chaisang City is the bridgehead they spent countless manpower and financial resources to build, and they have hoarded nearly half of Jiangdong's grain!Now that he has been attacked by Cao Jun like this, and is very likely to be caught in a sea of flames... going crazy!
"Pass my order, advance at full speed, and rescue Chaisang City!"
Sun Quan's order was exactly what Zhou Yu and Lu Meng had in mind.
The huge Jiangdong Navy, with more than [-] warships, immediately turned around and headed towards Chaisang City!
