Fortunately, the newly appointed governor, Lu Su, does have extraordinary abilities.
Under his operation,
At least now the Jiangdong army has stabilized. As for the counties and counties, it is up to Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others to maintain law and order.
In order to share the pressure on Jiangdong, Sun Quan also adopted the strategy presented by Zhang Zhao and others, connecting Gongsun Kang in the north and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in the west to contain Cao Cao's rear.
Apparently Sun Quan also knew that he might just die, but it was absolutely impossible for him to succumb to Cao Cao.
In order to give himself more room to breathe, Sun Quan took out some of his last surplus money and sent envoys to win over Liaodong, Xichuan and Hanzhong.
But what Sun Quan didn't know was that Gongsun Kang of Liaodong was too busy to take care of himself now, so he didn't have the energy to help him contain Cao Cao.
And Xichuan's Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu even beat out their dog's brains, and they don't want to talk to anyone at all now.
The imaginary reinforcements are probably gone, and in the end, Sun Quan can only fight against it by himself...
Winter passed smoothly.
Ke Jian'an 11 years, April.
When the spring of the new year just started, Cao Cao made big moves at both ends.
In western Liaoning, Cao Ang resolutely responded to Gongsun Kang's request to send troops to resist the coalition forces of Goguryeo and Fuyu, and personally led an army of [-] into Liaodong.Although Gongsun Kang is always watching and guarding against Cao Ang's possible surprise attack, there are some things that he can't do just by thinking about them.
In the east of the Yangtze River, Cao's army advanced by land and water, with nearly 40 troops, pointing their swords at Chaisang City.
Joining the army all the way to the east, encountered almost sporadic resistance on the road, and soon arrived at Chaisang City smoothly.
Sun Quan had already returned to Wu County, and the one guarding Chaisang City was Lu Su, the new governor of Jiangdong.
But whether it is Sun Quan or Lu Su, they all know that a small Chaisang city can't stop Cao Cao at all.They didn't expect to stop Cao Cao, they just hoped to slow down Cao's advance.
Jiang Dong is now like a terminally ill patient. All they can do is to try their best, and it will be a day if they delay it for one more day.
Cao Jun's soldiers approached the city, and Lu Su's Jiangdong generals such as Han Dang, Lu Meng, and Ding Feng all seemed a little anxious at the moment.
Because they saw it, Cao Jun obviously didn't intend to give them any chance to breathe.
Strangely enough,
Facing Cao Jun's upcoming attack, no matter whether they are soldiers or ordinary people, they don't have the kind of fighting spirit to fight against the enemy...
Now Lu Su finally saw how sharp Cao Jun's ubiquitous psychological warfare was.
There are hundreds of thousands of elite Cao troops outside the city, but their own soldiers and people have no determination to resist desperately, so how can they defend this city, how can they defend it?
On the second day after Cao Jun arrived at Chaisang City, Cao Cao did not besiege the city, but directly ordered to deploy an army to prepare to attack the city.
To the north of Chaisang City, on the surface of the Yangtze River, dozens of three-masted warships have already lined up, aiming at Chaisang City with the side of their hulls.
Cao Cao and Lu Yan came to the front of the battle on horseback.
Cao Cao asked Lu Yan: "Mr. Lu, do you think Sun Quan will pose any threat to us in the future?"
To be honest, after the victory in the Battle of Chibi, the entire history has completely changed, and Lu Yan does not know the specific direction of the future.But without the existence of Changjiang Tianxian and Zhou Yu, Sun Quan would have no chance of making a comeback.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yan replied to Cao Cao: "Mr. Cao, Jiangdong without Zhou Yu and the navy is like a tiger without fangs and claws... As long as you don't drift, there shouldn't be any problem in capturing Jiangdong. gone."
Cao Cao understood it, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, with you here, I won't be able to drift away!"
Lu Yan looked at Chaisang, and said casually: "Then stop the ink, and attack the city."
When Cao Cao heard the words, he turned his head and said to the orderly soldiers beside him, "Send orders, artillery bombards the city!"
"Here!
! ”
The messenger ran out quickly, and it didn't take long before the sound of war drums in Cao Jun's formation rang out!
Following the uniform chants of the soldiers, the cannons were pushed to a distance of about [-] steps in front of the formation.
The warships on the river also got the signal, and they protruded the cannon barrels out of the baffle of the hull.
The distance of [-] steps is exactly the distance that the artillery can effectively kill and the trebuchet can't reach.
Faced with the crushing from technology, Jiangdong soldiers felt more powerless and hopeless in their hearts.
"The prime minister has an order!"
"The artillery bombarded the city!"
Cao Jun's war drums rang loudly, making the Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the city unable to help their hearts beat faster.
As the sound of war drums kept changing, Cao Jun's artillery lines were all in place.
The faces of Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the city suddenly turned pale.
"ignition!"
"Shhhhhh!
! ”
"Fire!
! ”
"boom!
"
The uniform cannons are like thunderstorms from the nine heavens!
In the light of the flames, the cannonballs, which almost covered the sky and the sun, slammed into the newly rebuilt and reinforced city walls of Chaisang City at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!
The earth is shaking!
The soldiers on the city wall were still a little unprepared. After a round of shelling, they were dizzy, staggered, and completely lost their size.
After three rounds of shelling,
On the north and west walls, the standing Jiangdong soldiers could hardly be seen, and the city walls were also pitted and pitted by shells, which looked a bit horrible.
Cao Cao did not give the order to stop, and the Artillery Army continued to bombard Chaisang City.
Some shells crossed the city wall and fell directly into the city, which made the soldiers in the city heartbroken.
Lu Su sat in the city guard's mansion of Chaisang City, listening to the movement outside, his heart gradually became silent, "Cao Cao, it's too powerful... and artillery is such a weapon of war, I, Jiangdong, can't resist at all.
I was deeply trusted by my lord and Gongjin, and I was ordered to take over the heavy responsibility of the governor when I was in danger, but I was ashamed that I had no way to resist Cao Jun's attack.
I am afraid that the only way to repay the lord and Gong Jin for their kindness is to live and die with Chaisang..."
Lu Su had a lot of messy thoughts in his mind. He already had the will to live and die with Chaisang City.
At this moment, suddenly several generals rushed in, the leader was Han Dang, followed by Lu Meng, Ding Feng and others.
"Governor, Cao's army is attacking fiercely. I'm afraid we won't be able to defend it!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please make up your mind!"
Lu Su raised his head and looked at Han Dang, with an instant determination in his heart, he said:
"General Han, Cao Jun didn't besiege the city, presumably because he didn't want to forcefully attack and reduce losses.
Please lead the army to evacuate from the east gate..."
5 Chapter [-] Come with us to witness the arrival of the prosperous age!
Lu Su suddenly said to Han Dang: "Please lead the army to evacuate from the east gate..."
After hearing this, Han Dang asked in surprise, "Governor, what do you mean?"
Lu Meng also shouted at the moment: "Governor, we still have reinforcements from Liaodong, Xichuan and Hanzhong, we can't give up hope!"
Lu Meng's shout finally brought the others back to their senses.
Therefore, Han Dang, Ding Feng and other generals also persuaded: "Governor, we can withdraw to Danyang County first and rebuild the defense line. We must not give up on this!"
"Reinforcements?" Lu Su smiled miserably in his heart, and secretly said: "Where are there any reinforcements... and even if there are, the distant water may not be able to quench the near thirst!"
However, after these generals persuaded Lu Su to reawaken his fighting spirit.
After changing his previous depression, Lu Su cheered up and replied: "You are right, even if Chaisang is lost, we still have other cities.
As long as Cao Cao is dragged to Jiangdong, after a long time, his hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be chewed by horses, and the food, grass and supplies will definitely be unsustainable.
We will take the opportunity to attack when Cao Jun's supplies are weak. We may not only repel Cao Jun, but even regain the lost ground.
As long as Cao Cao retreats, we can regroup and make everything as solid as gold!In the future, if Cao Cao wants to use artillery to ruin our city walls, it will become more and more difficult! "
Han Dang and the others also became more and more confident when they heard it, so they asked: "Then the governor, should we evacuate Chaisang first?"
"Withdraw!" Lu Su said firmly: "We must preserve our vitality, withdraw from Chaisang first, and return to Danyang County to rebuild the defense!"
"Here! The last general is going to give the order!" Han Dang clasped his fists to accept the order, turned around and was about to walk out.
But halfway through, Han Dang suddenly remembered something...but he didn't turn back to ask Lu Su for instructions, but made a decision "without authorization".
Walking out of the city guard's mansion, Lu Meng suddenly clasped his fists at Han Dang and said, "General, someone must stop the army from retreating, the last general..."
Before Lu Meng could finish speaking, Han Dang suddenly turned around and grabbed Lu Meng's fist, saying, "You, Ding Feng and others lead the soldiers out of Chaisang for me. As for the final candidate, I will come!"
Hearing this, Ding Feng was shocked and said: "General, no! Now Jiangdong needs a mainstay like you to support it. If anything happens to you, the morale of the army may suffer a huge blow!"
Han Dang said with a smile: "I'm old...Jiangdong's future depends on you young people!"
Lu Meng wanted to persuade him again, but Han Dang turned around and said firmly, "Don't talk too much, just obey orders!"
Han Dang had the highest military rank, and Lv Meng and Ding Feng had to follow his orders.
After bidding farewell to Han Dang with tears, generals such as Lu Meng and Ding Feng began to disperse to gather soldiers, preparing to protect Lu Su and withdraw from Chaisang City.
It was countless rounds of shelling, and the walls of Chaisang City were already overwhelmed.
Finally, there was a tooth-piercing sound from the wall, and then it began to crack!
"Boom!"
A section of the city wall to the west collapsed first, followed by the wall to the north.
At this critical moment, Han Dang shouted and led an army to block the collapsed part of the city wall.
It's a pity that the walls made of earth and stone can't stop Cao Jun, let alone these flesh and blood?Even with an iron shield in front of him, everything is nothing in front of artillery and strong bows.
......
Han Dang led [-] soldiers to block the collapsed part of the city wall with flesh and blood for an hour!
Lu Su, Lu Meng, Ding Feng and others, with an army of [-], successfully withdrew from Chaisang City.
And Han Dang, after completing his mission, looked at the corpses and stumped limbs and arms all over the ground, and he burst into tears.
Miserable!
These old brothers who have been with him for several years or even more than ten years, when they die, it is extremely difficult to leave a whole body.
But for the sake of Jiangdong, in order to preserve more robes, they have no hesitation, no regrets, followed themselves to die...
Han Dang's heart is also made of meat, how could he not be sad?
Cao Jun launched a charge. At this moment, facing Chaisang City, which had almost given up resistance, they broke into the city without any effort.
Han Dang looked at Cao Jun in front of him, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, and a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, "Master Xian, Gongfu, Darong, I, Han Yigong, have come to see you!"
Before he finished speaking, Han Dang raised his sword and was about to wipe it off his neck.
But Han Dang's sword was halfway up, but was knocked away by a howling mace arrow!
The saber in Han Dang's hand was knocked away by the impact force of the Spike Arrow. After he realized it, he roared and was about to hit the wall next to him!
"Pip!"
Unfortunately, Han Dang forgot that he was still wearing a helmet.
Under this collision, apart from making myself dizzy, I didn't even shed a drop of blood, let alone commit suicide...
When the stars in Han Dang's eyes disappeared, a general of Cao Jun riding a white horse and holding a silver gun had already come to him, and the point of the gun gleaming coldly was pointed at his throat.
Han Dang, who failed to die twice, no longer had the courage to continue seeking death.
Seeing the other party's gun pointing at him, he just "hummed" and turned his head to avoid looking at the man.
Zhao Yun shot off the saber in Han Dang's hand with an arrow, but saw the other party hit the wall with his helmet on his head.
