Chapter 327: Order, Go Home and Defend!
The golden flames were still flying upwards until they reached a distance of nearly fifty meters, and a fiery red light erupted.
Not far away, fireworks also lit up the sky.
In less than fifteen minutes, the two Cao armies had now received Cao Shuo's message and knew that the Jiangdong side was now preparing to attack Chibi, that is, Cao Cao's hometown.
So, the two armies immediately turned around and quickly returned to help.
Now the Cao army that pretends to attack is mainly light infantry and cavalry that can return at any time, and the purpose is to wait for news from Cao Shuo.
And Cao Shuo's way of transmitting information is also a very important part of the current plan.
Cao Shuo's current advantage is not only the weapons and equipment, but also the most effective information transmission.
If we wait until we use fast horses or heralds, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to be two or two more late.
Even if the Jiangdong Army, which is now preparing to attack, is only in the backup part of the Cao Army, it will take half a day.
And this half a day is enough for Sun Quan and Liu Bei to call Chibi.
But now, Cao Shuo's speed has more than doubled invisibly!
In just ten minutes, the soldiers on both sides knew that Sun Quan and Liu Bei were preparing to attack Chibi, and the speed of reinforcement was also much faster.
It is estimated that in less than half a day, they will be able to return to Chibi completely.
Now in Chibi City, there are more than 10,000 soldiers such as Cao Shuo's musketeers and artillerymen.
With these people defending in the city, it is still easy to hold Chibi, and there is no problem in delaying it for three days.
Recently, Cao Shuo has also been busy with the defense work of Chibi, and now Cao Shuo has specially used cement to construct simple defense affairs.
Moreover, now Cao Shuo has specially built a nearly five-meter-high city wall.
With the help of artillery and musketeers, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At this time, Cao Shuo was standing under the city wall, observing the Jiangdong soldiers in the distance with night vision binoculars.
In order to confuse the real with the false, Cao Shuo still specially asked people to blow the horn of emergency when the Jiangdong Army was about to arrive at Chibi:
"It's over, the Jiangdong Army is here now!"
The sound of trumpets and gongs and drums soon spread throughout the entire Cao camp, and all the soldiers and civil officials were in a mess.
The sound of wailing and screaming suddenly spread through the barracks.
But in fact, this was rehearsed by Cao Shuo very early.
As the so-called most realistic movies are all shot in full reality, Cao Shuo did this to make all the details perfect.
Only when the details are really perfect, will you really succeed.
"They're really panicking now!"
At this time, Zhou Yu, who was leading the troops, was also overjoyed when he saw this scene.
He had been worrying just now about whether Cao Shuo had done it on purpose, and now he tricked them into coming over just for a ploy.
But now it seems that all kinds of signs are telling that Cao Shuo is really unprepared now.
The first point is that the Cao army, which is still attacking Jingzhou, is not only nearly thirty miles away from here, but also on the march, bringing a lot of artillery.
And no matter how you say it here, it is also Sun Quan's own territory, and he has lined up several spies to test the authenticity of Cao Jun, and by the way, to see how many artillery pieces he brought.
The second point is that now Cao Cao is here, and there are indeed many famous generals.
At this time, the 50,000 soldiers led by Yu Ban were preparing to attack the Jiangdong area, and there were also Pang Dedianwei and others, the general in Cao's camp, who fought together.
Just the list of generals is very different from the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers led by Guan Yu.
In addition, the generals who are now defending here in Chibi are only some reserve soldiers and Cao Shuo alone.
Sun Quan was deeply shocked after hearing the news, and specially confirmed it again and again, and finally found that Cao Cao was also in Chibi City.
After getting this news, Sun Quan couldn't calm down anymore.
And Sun Quan also found that there are few strategists left in Chibi City now, and as for Tian Feng and others, they are still fighting with Cao Shuo in the city.
When he heard the news, Sun Quan almost cried out with joy.
All kinds of signs show that it is really impossible to say that if you don't fight Chibi now.
"Siege, call me now!"
Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of elite, and then he waved the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Jiangdong Army, now go to battle with me!" ”
All the Jiangdong Army now know that this is a good opportunity for success or failure!
If you miss this now, I don't know how long I'll have to wait!
"Kill, attack the city together!"
The Jiangdong army also shouted frantically at this time, carrying siege ladders one by one, and rushed towards the fortress wall of the Cao army.
Now, the city wall built by Cao Shuo here is not very high, and it can be easily climbed by just a simple ladder.
"Stop them, fire, hurry!"
On the city wall, the generals of the Cao army shouted in panic, and the soldiers were all busy as if they were godless.
"Knock knock!"
Suddenly, the artillery suddenly opened fire, directly knocking down a piece of the Jiangdong Army.
This time, the artillery on the city wall was filled with iron sand, that is, shotguns.
Although the iron ball is easy to use for attack range and siege, shotgun is a range attack!
The Jiangdong Army is now on the verge of the city, and the best thing for the Cao Army here is to use a shotgun qia
g Let them suffer a little.
Just now, the Cao army on the city wall all used shotguns to fire artillery, and the Jiangdong army under the city wall was directly knocked down as if it had been cut wheat.
Immediately afterwards, the Cao army finished loading a round of shells, and the Jiangdong army died even more, directly blocking them all under the city wall.
"The power of this artillery is simply against the sky!"
Zhou Yu, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but think in his heart when he saw such a tragic battle situation of the Jiangdong Army.
However, if they can break through this time, this invincible artillery will fall into their hands.
And this is also one of the main reasons why Zhou Yu wants to take Cao Cao's Chibi base camp this time.
This time, no matter how much price is paid, as long as this city can be taken, and then Cao Shuo's logistics troops can be further cut off, there is a great possibility that the offensive will be directly reversed.
Otherwise, Sun Quan and Liu Bei can only passively wait for the opportunity.
And artillery still has a disadvantage now.
After all, the reloading time of artillery is generally about ten seconds, and now it is replaced with iron sand shotgun, and the reload time is even longer.
Taking advantage of these ten seconds, the Jiangdong Army launched another wave of surprise attacks.
