A peaceful day hastily passed.
The next day, Lu Yan led the army under his command and slowly formed a formation outside Fushui Pass.
Due to the difficult road to Shu, Lu Yan only brought fifty cannons this time. However, ten cannons should be more than enough to deal with Fushui Pass, which is not very wide.
Above the Fushui Pass, Gao Pei and Wu Lan stared at Cao Jun below the city and rolled out ten black and strangely shaped iron bumps. Wu Lan asked suspiciously: "General Gao, you have fought Cao Jun before, how can you fight Cao Jun?" Do you know what these are?"
When Gao Pei was asked by Wu Lan, his face blushed immediately, and he replied: "I fought with Cao Jun in the wild. I have never seen them."
Wu Lan naturally knew what was going on with Gao Pei. Although he secretly smiled inwardly, he didn't deliberately try to embarrass Gao Pei.
The two didn't speak any more, they just watched Cao Jun messing around outside the pass quietly.
Not too long later, Cao Jun outside the pass suddenly raised the flag.
"Is this going to attack the city?" Wu Lan said in surprise, "Although Fushui Pass is not as high and dangerous as Jiameng Pass, it is still not easy to win by force. As a famous general of a generation, how could I don’t know how obvious it is”
Before Wu Lan's surprise was over, there was a shout outside the city,
"Prepare!"
"ignition!"
"Fire the gun!"
Then, there was a loud noise resounding like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking!
The soldiers of the Shu army who closed the Fushui also immediately felt the trembling and mourning from the depths of the city wall!
"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"
After three consecutive rounds of artillery bombardment, the guards and soldiers who closed the Fushui were all stunned.Some were stunned by the loud noise and earthquake, while others were stunned by Cao Jun's unheard-of super-class weapon.
"What the hell is going on here?" Wu Lan lay on the ground to avoid the flying stones, her head was buzzing, she didn't know what happened.
After a while, Cao Jun's shelling stopped temporarily. Wu Lan raised his head and saw Gao Pei lying on his stomach not far in front of him, so he asked loudly, "Old Gao! You really don't have this kind of weapon Cao Jun has." met?"
"I met a hammer! I didn't defend the city at all!"
"."
Gao Pei was unreliable, Wu Lan sighed in her heart, stood up and carefully poked half of her head to look at the city wall, wanting to see the situation.
It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but it made Wu Lan’s heart cold for a long time, "My mother! The outermost bricks and stones of the city wall have been smashed to pieces! What kind of siege equipment is this?!"
Looking up, Wu Lan saw Cao Jun outside the pass pushing down the ten weapons that were emitting green smoke. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that it was a good thing Cao Jun couldn't use this kind of weapon too many times, he suddenly saw another Another ten cannons were pushed out by Cao Jun's soldiers!
"My mother!" Seeing this, Wu Lan's face turned green, and she couldn't help but swear, and then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Get out, get out of Fushui Pass!"
Ten doors and ten doors!
How many ten gates can the city wall that is already covered in bruises withstand?
Gao Pei had just stood up and was dusting off his body.
Suddenly, Wu Lan passed by him like a wind, and then he yelled "Get out of Fushui Pass".
"?"
Gao Pei was very puzzled, Wu Lan was also considered a seasoned veteran, how could he be so panicked?
Gao Pei was about to ask questions, but unexpectedly, the orderly shouted again outside the pass: "Get ready!!"
Suddenly hearing the word "preparation" again, the hairs on Gao Pei's back stood up involuntarily!
He finally understood the reason why Wu Lan turned into a man like the wind. Gao Pei caught a glimpse of a group of soldiers who were also in a daze from the corner of his eyes, so he shouted: "What are you waiting for, retreat!"
"ignition!"
"Fire the gun!"
"Mother! Run! Cao Jun is casting a demon again!"
"It turns out that the legend that Cao Jun can seduce Tianlei is true!"
"Boom!!!"
The earth is shaking!
After several consecutive bombardments, the bricks on the Fushuiguan city wall began to fall off in large numbers!
A soldier couldn't help but glanced back at the city wall of Fushuiguan, and suddenly screamed in horror: "The city wall is about to collapse!"
"Run!"
"I won't fight, I won't fight! How can a person fight with such a god!"
As the defenders withdrew in a panic, Fushui Pass fell in less than half a day.
After Fushui Pass, there is Fucheng.
Fucheng is not a strong city, and the difficulty of breaking it is even below Fushui Pass.
After taking Fucheng, there is Mianzhu. After Mianzhu, as long as Luocheng is captured, the road leading to Chengdu will be flat.
After stepping through the broken Fushui Pass, Lu Yan sat on the white dragon horse and inspected his army.
The morale is high, the spirit is full, and the eyes reveal the look of hunger and thirst, not bad!
Lu Yan was very satisfied with the mental state of the soldiers. He turned around, pointed the sword in his hand to the south, and said loudly:
"As long as we take Fucheng and Luocheng again, we will be able to unify the mountains and rivers just around the corner!
Soldiers, quickly prepare your army and follow me to rule the world! "
Chapter 621 How about we abandon the darkness and turn to the light?
In the early years, when Liu Yangang came to Yizhou, for his own rule, he suppressed or even eliminated the gentry in Yizhou.
Later, when Cao Cao issued a call to action and Yuan Shao called on the princes of the world to form an alliance against Dong, Liu Yan ignored the princes of the world and refused to send troops to form an alliance with Suanzao.At that time, Jia Long, one of the representatives of the Yizhou gentry, saw through Liu Yan's ambition to separate himself and start to incite the gentry and prominent families to rebel against Liu Yan.
However, the rebellion was quickly suppressed by Liu Yan, but both Liu Yan and the Yizhou gentry suffered losses. Although after nearly ten years of recuperation, Liu Zhang and the Yizhou gentry still did not recover their original strength.
It is precisely because of this that the Yizhou gentry will not maintain an iron-like relationship with Liu Zhang. Zhang Song of the Zhang family even took the initiative to present a map of Bashu to Cao Cao to help Cao Cao capture Xichuan.
However, Liu Yan's suppression of the gentry in Yizhou at the beginning made Cao Cao's rule easier and saved too much unnecessary trouble.
After Lu Yan captured Yizhou, the new policies on household registration and land that he formulated could be promoted more quickly and easily.As for the gentry who dared to disobey or even resist, Lu Yan didn't mind showing him what it means to be iron-blooded.
Fushui Pass was broken, and Wu Lan and Gao Pei retreated to Fucheng.
Cao Jun continued to move forward, and soon came to the outside of Fucheng, forming an army formation.They didn't plan to set up camp anymore, and they were going to take Fucheng directly in one go.
Zhang Ren, the defender of Fucheng, had 2 soldiers. After joining forces with Gao Pei and Wu Lan's retreating troops, there are now a total of almost [-] soldiers.
From Gao Pei and Wu Lan, Zhang Ren learned that Lu Yan had a powerful siege weapon. In order to prevent himself from being beaten passively like Fushui Pass, Zhang Ren assigned an army to command Gao Pei. Set up camp ten miles outside the city, relying on the situation of Jujiao.
Lu Yan asked Ma Chao and Xia Houlan to lead the cavalry to deal with the troops outside the city, while Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, as the first generals to attack the city, led the infantry to prepare to lead the army into the city after breaking through the city wall.
There was not much suspense during the siege of the city. The fifty cannons were divided into two waves and fired in turn. The city wall of Fucheng, which was not as strong as Fushuiguan, collapsed after only two rounds.
Gao Pei led [-] soldiers outside the city, and was almost powerless to fight back under the attack of Xia Houlan and Ma Chao.
After Zhao Yun and Tai Shici captured Zhang Ren and Wu Lan, Xia Houlan and Ma Chao also killed Gao Pei.
The main reason is that Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren are brothers. During the battle, both Zhao Yun and Tai Shici showed mercy, and Wu Lan followed suit. Otherwise, he would have been beheaded directly like Gao Pei. destiny.
......
At the same time, the unfavorable battle situation in the north and east has also been transmitted back to Chengdu.
In the prefect's mansion, a messenger with a flustered expression suddenly rushed in and shouted: "Report! My lord! There is an urgent military situation!"
Liu Zhang was enjoying the singing and dancing, when he heard this, he frowned and said, "What's the point of being flustered? Straighten your tongue if you have something to say!"
The singers withdrew one after another, and the orderly took a few breaths before saying, "Master, Cao Jun in the north has broken through Fushui Pass, and Cao Ren in the east has also broken through Jiangzhou!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly there was a sound from above, and the messenger looked up suspiciously. It turned out that Liu Zhang was so frightened by the sudden bad news that he fell to the ground and casually brought down the table in front of him.
"What... what? What did you say? Say it again!!"
Facing the enraged Liu Zhang, the messenger couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "My lord, Cao's army has broken through Fushui Pass and Jiangzhou, and they are now heading towards Chengdu!"
Liu Zhang still couldn't believe it, and shouted with a ferocious expression: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I have Jiange natural danger in the north of Xichuan, and Yan Yan's army guards Jiangzhou Jiancheng in the east. How can Cao Jun break through easily?!"
"Returning to my lord, I heard that Cao Jun used a new type of siege weapon, which can bombard the city walls into ruins amidst the roar of thunder. The walls of Jiangzhou City and Fushui Pass were trampled like this, it is really shocking! "
"What about Old General Yan?" Liu Zhang really asked now.
Panicked, he quickly found a backer, "And what about Wu Yi, Gao Pei, and General Zhang Ren?"
The messenger replied with an ugly expression: "Old General Yan was captured alive by Cao Ren. General Wu Yi and the others have already retreated to Fucheng, Luocheng and Mianzhu Pass."
Liu Zhang's complexion was pale, and he lay limp on the ground, trembling and whispering, "It's over...it's all over..."
Outside the prefect's mansion, many civil servants and military generals had already heard the news and gathered together.
Someone asked the people around him: "I heard that Cao Jun has already attacked, what do you think now, my lord?"
The person being asked sneered, glanced around, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid the lord is still drunk, how can he have any ideas?"
"Alas... I, Yizhou, have been completely destroyed in the hands of the Liu family..."
At this time, Meng Da suddenly brought more than a thousand people to the prefect's mansion, and said to the gathered civil and military officials: "After Cao Ren's army captured Jiangzhou, they traveled all the way along the Fushui River to Fucheng, and attacked Baba all the way. County, and will go to Fucheng later.
When Lu Yan broke through the Fushui Pass, he hardly lost a single soldier, and there were still nearly [-] troops.
When the three armies converge, there will be at least 20 troops under Lu Yan's command. Let me ask you, who else in Sichuan can take the lead? "
Meng Da deliberately exaggerated the number of Cao Jun to pave the way for his subsequent attempts.
"Wow!"
Meng Da's words shocked and amazed all the officials in central Shu who were present.
After a short period of silence, everyone showed panic on their faces, and then they all began to discuss with their close colleagues what to do.
At this time, an official familiar with Meng Da asked, "General Meng, what do you think?"
Meng Da had someone under his command, and he no longer hid it. "Except for Yizhou, all the world has belonged to the orthodox Han Dynasty! The Liu family and his son want to separate one side, why should we help the tyrant? Why don't we take the opportunity to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and lead the middle of Shu?" If the common people return to the rule of the great Han, they may still be famous in history!"
Many people's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they looked at each other, and they all saw the eager thoughts in each other's eyes.
Yes, the thirteen prefectures in the world, except Yizhou, are all under the rule of Cao Cao now.
With the strength of a state, how can it compete with the entire big man?
It's better to turn to the light as soon as possible, maybe you can get a big credit!
Thinking of this, many people bowed their hands or cupped their fists to Meng Da: "I will wait for General Meng to give orders!"
This group of people are all geniuses. Since Meng Da proposed to surrender, they naturally pushed him out as the early bird.Although if they succeeded, their credit would definitely not be as great as Meng Da's, but if they failed, they would not be punished too much.
Anyway, there are benefits to enjoy, and risks to bear. Who would not want to participate in such a good event?
After waiting for many supporters around, Meng Da was even more satisfied.
But there was still a small group of people who did not respond to him, so Meng Da looked at the leader of the small group and asked, "Master Huang, what do you think?"
Chapter 622 People still want to dream, what if it comes true?
Suddenly being named by Meng Da, as one of the few loyal members of the Liu family, Huang Quan chose to remain silent at this moment.
Naturally, Meng Da and the others also knew what Huang Quan and his group were thinking, so he sneered and said, "Since Mr. Huang doesn't want to go with us, we can only wrong you to stay in the army for a while. gone."
"Hmph!" Huang Quan just snorted coldly when he heard the words, he is not a fool, if he speaks out for Liu Zhang who is sure to die at this time, he will probably have to beat his own head in.
Meng Da waved his hand, and immediately dozens of soldiers stepped forward and brought Huang Quan and others to his barracks.
After eliminating the "disharmony" factors, Meng Da finally opened up the topic and said: "The ones who stay here are all brothers who are willing to advance and retreat with Meng! If this is the case, without further delay, I will immediately send someone to Fucheng to contact General Hussars, just say that I am willing to take Chengdu and Liu Zhang and return to the Han Court!"
"We all listen to General Meng!"
"Now there are only a few hundred guards in the prefect's mansion, or..."
"Rush in and capture Liu Zhang alive!
"
At this moment, Liu Zhang in the prefect's mansion is hugging two beautiful concubines, drinking and drinking, numb himself with wine and sex, but he doesn't know that the outside of the prefect's mansion has changed.
