The king's decree was handed down,

The army formation was in a roar, and the large and small army formations were separated from the left and right, and hundreds of mules and horses dragged the behemoths to the front of the formation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sky Thunder Cannon.

Jiangling City is known as the second largest fortified city in Jingzhou, and the potters have to use their usual means to try how thick its walls are with the heavenly thunder cannon.

More than 500 heavenly thunder cannons were quickly deployed in front of the formation, and the stone bullets the size of watermelons were loaded and aimed at the north gate.

At the head of the city, when the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State saw the appearance of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, the originally high morale was quickly suppressed, and everyone's faces flashed with a palpitation.

Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, Liu Qi, and even the veteran Huang Zhong all changed color.

In everyone's minds, the terrifying scene of the stone bombardment of the city invariably appeared.

When the monarchs and ministers of Chu were weak-hearted, the pottery merchant's war knife had been slashed.

Tom tom!

The drums of war shook the sky.

Immediately afterward, the sound of the wind cracking the sky and the earth suddenly sounded, and five hundred huge stone projectiles rose into the air, carrying a terrifying impact, roaring towards the city.

The stone bullets in the sky roared, and one of the stone bullets actually went straight to Liu Biao's head.

Liu Biao, who was standing majestically, still had a fluke, hoping that the stone bullet could be shot elsewhere, so that he didn't have to dodge, so as not to damage his tall image.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the whistling stone bullet, as if it had eyes, went straight to his head, and if he didn't hide, his head would be blasted into flesh.

In an instant, Liu Biao's eyes were full of fear, and he couldn't care about his tall image anymore, so he squatted on the ground in a hurry and made a gesture of holding his head to dodge.

Rumble!

The stone bullet flew overhead and hit the castle tower behind him, directly blasting out a big gap in the wooden wall.

Sawdust and dust flew up, splashing Liu Biao's ashes, choking his gray face, coughing again and again, where is there still a half-point majestic image.

The eldest son next to him, Liu Qi, the strategist Kuai Yue and others, also squatted down to dodge, all of them were embarrassed and afraid.

Just when Liu Biao had just pounced on a layer of ash on his face, another stone bullet swept by, directly shattering the skull of a soldier next to him, and splashed it onto Liu Biao's face.

Seeing the tragic situation of the soldier's brain crumbling, and then touching the gray-yellow liquid on his face, Liu Biao only felt that his stomach was turning upside down, and he felt that he wanted to gag all the time.

Whoosh!

Boom Boom!

Countless stone bullets rained down, and the roar poured into the ears, causing the eardrums to be numb.

At this time, Liu Biao didn't care about any image, and was anxious to summon the shield hand to protect himself, so that the soldiers should not panic.

In front of the city, the potter looked leisurely, admiring his more than 500 heavenly thunder cannons, and the endless bombardment of the city.

At this moment, the soldiers and soldiers of Chu, who had long known the power of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, were all cowering under the female wall like rats, dodging in fear, praying for God's blessing not to let themselves be unfortunate enough to be hit.

Although Gangneung City is strong, but the female wall is not as thick as the main city wall after all, under the bombardment of stone bullets, from time to time there are female walls are broken, hiding below the soldiers, the lucky ones have broken their heads and blood, broken limbs, and the unlucky ones are either smashed to the skull, ** flying sideways, or the internal organs are smashed into smithereens.

Liu Biao hid under the base of the wall, protected by layers of big shields, and naturally he was fine, but those poor soldiers kept falling in pools of blood, and after a while, half of the city wall was dyed red.

"The power of the pottery thief's heavenly thunder cannon is so amazing......" Liu Biao was shocked and angry, and his brows were furrowed.

Previously, he had heard that the potter's Heavenly Thunder Cannon was so powerful that it could even break through the Yuyang City Wall, but he had never really seen it and didn't know what was at stake.

Today, Liu Biao finally experienced the power of the thunder cannon on this day, and only then did he know that Yuyang was no wonder that it would be blasted.

Liu Biao and his soldiers were struggling to support, but the potters and his 50,000 soldiers were enjoying the magnificence of the gravel flying across the city with great interest, and enjoying the joy that made the enemy tremble.

In the blink of an eye, the bombardment went on for an hour, and tens of thousands of stone bullets had bombarded Gangneung City to a thousand holes, which was unbearable.

However, on the front line of the north gate of Gangneung, although the surface fortifications were bombed to the ground and almost razed to the ground, the main city wall still stood majestically, except for some potholes and impact marks, not even a crack appeared.

"Jiangling City, worthy of being the second largest fortified city in Jingzhou, the city walls are really damn thick......" The potter nodded slightly, and couldn't help but sigh at the city.

Hou Yi next to him said angrily: "King, the Chu thief has been blasted through by us, so why don't we go out and capture Jiangling in one fell swoop." ”

Hou Yiyi generously asked for battle, and the rest of the generals also had a sudden murderous intent, and they all shouted fiercely, wanting to break the city and make meritorious contributions.

The pottery merchant swept the generals, but saw that among the generals, only Wei Yan, an old general of Liu Biao, maintained a rare calmness.

"Wen Chang, why don't you ask for war?" The potter asked with a smile.

Wei Yan was stunned, hesitated, and said: "If the king orders the siege of the city, the last general should not care about himself, but the last general feels that attacking the city is not the best strategy now." ”

The potter raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Wei Yan arched his hand and said: "The last general was stationed in Jiangling for a period of time last year, and he knew that the strength of this city was that Liu Biao used more than 10,000 people's strength and spent a year to reinforce, and the thickness of its city wall even exceeded that of Xinye. ”

These words made the pottery merchant nod his head in approval, worthy of Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, although the force was not as good as Hou Yi, but his insight into the situation was beyond that arrow saint.

At that moment, the potter said with a smile: "What Wen Chang said is very true, this southern expedition, the soldiers and horses brought by this king are limited, and every soldier is very precious, and it must not be wasted on the siege battle that is not sure, and the capture of Jiangling is not today." ”

At present, the transportation of grain and grass is unimpeded, and the enemy countries on all sides have not taken the opportunity to attack, and some time is wasted with Liu Biao.

After the bombardment of the day, the potters ordered the troops to be collected, and the 50,000-strong army left the scars of Gangneung all over the city, and then marched away.

In the next half a month, the potters ordered a bombardment of Gangneung City day and night to demoralize the enemy.

Within half a month, hundreds of thousands of stone bullets were bombarded into the enemy city, almost everything on the surface of the city wall was razed to the ground, only a bare city wall remained, and the houses near the first line of the city wall were also unfortunately implicated, not only the defenders of the city, but also the civilians in the city also experienced the horror of the enemy.

The potter is to make them afraid, to make them afraid, to tear their will to resist.

At the same time, the pottery merchant ordered Huang Chengyan to write a book by himself, wrote a text, and copied tens of thousands of copies into the city of Jiangling, in order to warn the soldiers and civilians of Jiangling not to accompany Liu Biao to the funeral, and those who surrendered to the city were rewarded heavily, and those who continued to be rebellious were all wiped out when the city was broken.

The potter's successive rounds of powerful psychological warfare soon paid off.

The Huang family is one of the four major families of Jingxiang, and now they have surrendered to the pottery merchants, and Huang Chengyan has taken the initiative to stand up against Liu Biao, and with his strong prestige and influence, it has seriously shocked the morale of the military and people in Jiangling.

And Liu Biao only pays attention to the interests of the world, but ignores the interests of the common people, these people in the city, naturally do not want to accompany Liu Biao and the family to the funeral, afraid of the power of the pottery merchants, that is, people's minds change, all of them are ready to move.

Soon, some of the small and powerful clans who were not reused by Liu Biao continued to entangle the common people in the city, launched riots, and tried to seize the city gate and welcome the Wei army into the city.

Liu Biao had to put a lot of effort into strengthening his patrols in the city and suppressing several riots with harsh means before he could barely stabilize the situation.

The bombardment outside the city continued, and the people in the city were panicked, and Liu Biao was already in a state of panic.

On the same day, the Wei army's new round of bombardment ended, taking advantage of this short respite, Liu Biao returned to the palace with a tired body, gathered all the civil and military forces, and discussed countermeasures.

"I didn't expect the potter's methods to be so despicable and vicious, and now Jiangling City is in internal and external troubles, and it is in danger, so there is no way to solve it?" Liu Biao sighed weakly, looking expectantly at the famous people of the great clans under the steps.

These celebrities who are usually talking about things are all silent at the moment, and no one squeaks.

Looking around at the silent ministers, Liu Biao's face was a little annoyed, and he really wanted to scold this group of wastes.

Several times the scolding came to his mouth, Liu Biao had to swallow it again, at this time he had lost the support of the civilians, so he naturally did not dare to be too strict with these ministers of the clan, for fear that even the support of the clan would be lost, and it would really be over at that time.

"Xenodu, at the beginning, you persuaded this king to retreat to Jiangling, and now in such a predicament, don't you have anything to say?" Liu Biao's resentful gaze looked at his chief strategist.

Everyone's eyes also looked at Kuai Yue, as if they had reached the point in front of them, and they could only rely on Kuai Yue's resourcefulness.

Kuai Yue frowned, silent, after a long time, Fang is deep sigh, Zhengse said: "At this point, it seems that we can only fight with Sun Ce, the king of Wu, and ask him to lead the army of Wu to go up the river and come to the rescue." ”
