The days of waiting are always tormenting, but after the torment comes the pride. Just as the year was approaching, the second batch of twenty catapults and thirty thunderbolts were finally in place. Kou Yan ignored the heavy snow in the sky and asked the craftsman to assemble it immediately.

Time waits for no one, the New Year is almost the end of the year in a blink of an eye, if you can't take advantage of the current opportunity to take Xiangyang, and wait until the New Year, I don't know what kind of variables will happen. Kou Yan felt that she had waited too long, and now, she didn't want to wait any longer.

Although the winter weather is harsh and has a great impact on military operations, Kou Yan still decided to overcome the difficulties of Yiqiē and mobilize Yiqiē resources to strive to take Xiangyang before the New Year, and entering Xiangyang for the New Year is what she wants to do most at present.

Thus, Lejin's nightmare began. Twenty-five catapults stood in front of the formation, not to mention the enemy's fear, even their own soldiers did not dare to look up all the time, they were so tall that people were dizzy to look up.

However, compared with the sluggish momentum of the Cao army on the other side, almost all the soldiers in Changsha were like tigers out of the cage, looking at the city wall in front of them like looking at the girl with a red fruit, everyone's eyes were blood-red, and they all wanted to be the first to climb the head of Xiangyang City or the first to enter Xiangyang City.

As in the first siege, as soon as the day dawned, the siege began, and the world that was covered in silver one second was dyed with blood-red blood in a shocking color the next. The roar of catapults and thunderbolts resounded in the sky, and the proud walls of Xiangyang City were reduced to nothing in front of the tall catapults. The huge stones fell from the sky like a bomb, and the Cao soldiers on the city were so frightened that they scattered and fled. Where is there still a mind to defend.

The Thunderbolt is not as tall as the Catapult, but its lethality should not be underestimated, and the two complement each other, and the destructive power can be seen. Before it was time for lunch, Xiangyang City was already empty. How can the flesh and blood of an archer resist the rain of boulders?

After temporarily clearing the enemy's city defenses, it's time for your archers to strike their might. On the ground, Cen Qi rushed to the front with the vanguard troops, and there was no need to worry about the rain of arrows at the head of the city. Set up a ladder and pull a rope. A qiē is a master of mastery. Without the obstruction of the enemy army on the city, it would have looked so easy.

Behind his troops. Follow Hu Man and her brute troops. They were responsible for building bridges and paving roads, and when their vanguard troops occupied the city and opened the gates, they were responsible for killing them. Kill all the local soldiers and generals. Welcome Kou Yan into the city.

Originally. They were the vanguard, and Cen Qi and they were to follow behind Hu Man's troops. However, today with the help of twenty-five catapults. It became very easy for Cen Qi to compete for merit, how could he, who had always been the first in the credit list, watch the first cup snatched by a female barbarian?

The soldiers fought for merit, Kou Yan was overjoyed in the dark, and all the soldiers under her hand engraved the word merit on their heads, which really made her happy and worried, and she was happy that her army could ensure that it was full of spirit and high morale at any time. What I'm worried about is that there are only a few live targets in a battle, and so many people are rushing to ask for it, and one day they won't be able to share it, what should I do?

However, she just thinks about this kind of thought, the more battles are fought, the more battles are fought, and the bigger the turf is fought. The merit or something, it should be the soldiers, it must be indispensable, after all, who doesn't want to be a general?

Now, for example, the two Pioneers are almost fighting among themselves for the first chance to enter the city. Kou Yan frowned and felt a little amused at the same time. couldn't help but joke to Xu Shu, who had been accompanying her all the time: "Teacher, guess which of them will go to Xiangyang in the end?"

"It should be Captain Cen! Although Hu Man is brave, he will not die in battle. But this time, Shi Yuan's arrangement of troops gave her a lot of losses, of course, Shi Yuan wanted a quick victory, so this arrangement is understandable. Xu Shu analyzed,

"I also think it should be Cen Qi and not Hu Man. However, Cen Qi made a meritorious contribution, and Hu Man also had to give her a credit, in short, all the generals and soldiers who followed me into Xiangyang today were all credited!" Poor Le Jin on the other side is still hesitating, and Kou Yan here already regards the decent thing as his own property.

As it turned out, Kou Yan's self-confidence was justified. It had only been half a day's work, and the solid city wall that Xiangyang City was proud of had already been blasted out of a huge gap, and Cen Qi and his line troops had already taken advantage of the air superiority of catapults to climb to the top of the city, and they were greeted by Cao soldiers, who had no heart to resist at all. As soon as Cen Qi ascended to the top of the city, he announced that those who surrendered would not be killed. The soldiers of the Cao army were all lacking in interest, and after throwing away their weapons, they were all stunned and did not say surrender or non-surrender. Cen Qi felt strange, so he grabbed a soldier and asked what was going on.

The soldier was weak, and was carried in his hand by Cen Qi like a chicken. To Cen Qi's surprise, he didn't care about his life, and he had the posture of being the first to die.

When asked by Cen Qi, he cried and said that his family was in the north and he didn't want to die, but his boss told him that Changsha Taishou was a devil who loved to kill, and he liked to strip people naked and kill them one by one, and once killed 10,000 soldiers in one day. He really didn't want to resist anymore, but he didn't want to be killed, but being a prisoner was unavoidable, so he was so desperate.

Cen Qixin said that this is a bit too bad, and his own son-in-law collectively executed more than 1,000 dragoon prisoners who were unwilling to surrender that morning, how did it pass through the mouths of people with good intentions, and it became that they killed 10,000 people a day? Killing 10,000 people a day, just cutting off the head had to cut 10,000 times, this is a machine, not a person at all! Someone dares to slander his son-in-law like this, he really doesn't want fame and fortune!

Cen Qi was furious, and the soldier was even more frightened, watching Cen Qi raise the knife in his hand, and cut off the head of his boss, a centurion, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to express his willingness to surrender, as a ball!

This hand was so ferocious that it shocked the already somewhat trance-like soldiers of Cao Jun's feet. Those who had not yet thrown down their weapons could no longer hold on, and knelt down at the same time as they threw their weapons, and those who had already thrown away their weapons were already kneeling on the ground and trembling.

Just when Cen Qi was killing people wantonly, Hu Man and her barbarian warriors shouted their unique slogans and finally crashed open the gate of Xiangyang City, and then pounced on it like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

But for the people in Xiangyang City, Pang Tong gave a death order. Not only can not touch a single hair of the people. It is even more important to do nothing. Xiangyang is a world-famous big city, the city is full of sergeants, any person on the street can be around the corner and the gentry clan, Kou Yan has just arrived. The first task is, of course, to gain the affirmation and support of the Xiangyang Shi clan. Naturally, he could not allow his army to spread wild in Xiangyang City. For barbarian generals like Hu Man, he has repeated orders.

But. These are all trivial things, the most important thing is that in the general's mansion, Le Jin, who was about to commit suicide, was rescued by Changsha Xiaozuo who was lurking in the mansion. Not only did he succeed in suicide, but he was also put under the sweat medicine and hid in the suitcase all the way to sleep, the city of Xiangyang was broken, and the soldiers were looking for him all over the place, thinking that he had an accident or went out of the city, several of the soldiers combined, since the main general could not be found, there was no need for them to use death to clarify their ambitions, after all, people are sparing their lives, and there is nothing when they die. Several people together decided to surrender.

However, it was a bit late to surrender at this time, after all, they did not surrender the city but surrendered the city, and the impression points of the new owner had to be deducted a lot. However, a few people can't care so much at this time, and if they don't surrender, they can only be a dead end, and if they surrender, at least they can survive.

Therefore, Kou Yan and Xu Shu and the others were not introduced into the General's Mansion by their own people, but by Lejin's own soldiers. Sitting in the position where Liu Biao was originally sitting, Kou Yan only felt that every cell in his body was shouting with happiness, this feeling was really beautiful! Thinking that she was still a girl who was used back then, listening to Liu Biao's insincere praise here, in fact, he already knew in his heart that his heart was full of malice.

But at that time, there was no way, I wanted myself and my sister to have a good life, not to go into exile, I could only be forced to be on the cusp of Liu Biao, if there was no help from the teacher, she had been shot to death by Zhou Yu on the beach as early as when she was still unstable, two wars a year, one was larger than the other, and each time was more casual, how did she survive at that time, and now I can't help but shudder when I think about it.

This qiē was chosen by herself, and Liu Biao calculated her. Now, when she sits in this position, she feels a real condescending feeling, and she always feels that the hardships she endured before are worth the ticket price!

This mansion is gorgeous and atmospheric, and it is completely incomparable with the Changsha Taishou Mansion where Kou Yan lived before. She used to think that the ancestral house of the Kou family was better than the Xinye General's Mansion, and the Taishou Mansion in Changsha was better than the ancestral house of the Kou family. Now that I am in this general's mansion, I know that my former self was a frog at the bottom of the well, and I don't know how people in the real upper class enjoy life.

However, no one dares to say that she is a frog at the bottom of the well now, and entering Xiangyang represents a higher level of power in Kou Yan's hands, and she has truly opened a strategic map that dominates one side.

However, now is not the time to rest, and before Kou Yan has time to taste the comfort of the General's Mansion, he is disturbed by Pang Tong. His expression did not show the joy of capturing Xiangyang at all, but was still very solemn. Kou Yan raised his eyes and touched the other party's eyes, and all the careful thoughts in his heart were ashes: "What's the matter? Senior brother, what's wrong?"

"The subordinates want to ask Lord Taishou to give an order to attack Nanyang non-stop!" Pang Tongyi clenched his fists and looked resolute, obviously making up some kind of determination. Kou Yan hesitated for a few seconds: "Senior brother, you are already clear about the current situation, the battalion is full of wounded soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is almost zero...... If you want to fight, you have to outwit. ”

"The subordinates understand, but now our army is in full swing, and it is the best opportunity to attack Nanyang. Please give the order!" Pang Tong bowed to the end.

"Since Senior Brother said so, then I believe that Senior Brother has the power to turn decay into magic! Okay! I will order now, and you will be fully responsible for the attack on Nanyang!" Kou Yan immediately made up his mind.

In fact, she understood what Pang Tong meant by what he meant by the best opportunity now. Lejin's personal soldiers surrendered, and of course Changsha could use them to fabricate the illusion that Lejin had surrendered, and the Nanyang guards must have surrendered when they heard the news. If he misses this opportunity, when the Nanyang guard learns the news, and when he asks Cao Cao for help, he will become extremely passive.

Therefore, only by taking advantage of the present moment to quickly cut through the mess and take all the troubles in one pot, there will be no such a good opportunity in the future. Therefore, Kou Yan only hesitated for a few seconds and delegated power to Pang Tong again, and asked him to design a fraudulent city.

Of course, he has the final say in the war, so even if he is a military advisor who has not yet been formally appointed. But in Kou Yan's eyes, they are all specialized in art. Pang Tong is good at military strategy, and the matter of fighting is handed over to him, so he can worry about it.

Although Xu Shu is also good at military strategy, he is good at too many things, the only thing he is not good at is to be her teacher, and now, it is his best opportunity to learn. Of course, there is one more critical reason, and she won't say it if she is killed, that is, honesty is used to eat, drink and flatter, senior brother or something, don't use it in vain, I'm not afraid that he will be tired.

If Pang Tong knew that Kou Yan thought so, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood. But now he is very happy. The little junior sister trusted him, and handed over the task to herself without saying a word, and told her a lot of words with confidence, this kind of intimate attitude was completely different from the previous Zhou Yu, which made Pang Tong feel full of energy. At the moment, he hugged his fist: "My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates have their own clever plans to go down to Nanyang without blood, you are here and waiting for good news!"

"Of course, I trust you the most, Senior Brother!" Kou Yan smiled: "Didn't we say that we should make the movement as loud as possible, and scare Xiangyang and Nanyang in one day, I don't know if it is a big movement?"

"Cao Thief's year, don't think about it!" In a good mood, Pang Tongyi changed his temperament of not being able to chat in the past, and said something funny. This sentence made Kou Yan's heart bloom when he heard it: "Hehe! Well said! I just want him to have a bad year! The more uncomfortable he is, the happier I am!"

How did Pang Tong know that the little Taishou was not referring to Cao Cao, but actually referring to Cao Ren, who had not been caught? Cao Ren escaped, she didn't say it, but the regret in her heart has not been dissipated, as long as it can make Cao Ren uncomfortable, she thinks it is a good thing.
