Chapter 57: Thunderbolts

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the room, and then I heard Li Ergou at the door of the room and said, "King, there is an emergency army coming from front of you." ”

Ma Yun hugged Zhang Qian's body, kissed him fiercely, and said happily: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." It won't take long for us to get to Xingwang's Mansion! ”

Ma Yun stood up, straightened his clothes, walked out, and took the military document to take a look. As he expected, Li Tang's expeditionary division was ambushed and the whole army was annihilated. Ma Yun's general Wen read it twice, and then said: "Li Ergou, go down and give an order, gather all the officials above the Wuzhou defense envoy, and go south to storm Fengzhou." ”

Li Tang's sailors were so hidden, how could they still be ambushed by the Han army. The reason is very simple, although Li Tangshui was very secretive when he set out on the expedition, he had already missed it before the expedition. Don't forget, Cha Wenhui's suggestion was sent to Jinling in early October, and then it was shelved by the Li Tang court.

So, they were informed by Ma Yun and Zhao Pu. These guys get together all day long, racking their brains to calculate Li Tang, with this rumor, don't take advantage of it. Since the southern expedition, Li Tangjiu's attack on Shaozhou has not been clear, and the strength of * has long been clearly investigated by the Chu army, and the Chu army has disdainful of *, like Zhou Xingfeng and others have secretly begun to write a recital for Ma Yun, persuading Ma Yun to turn his face with Li Tang, and quickly send troops to take down the entire Lingnan. However, the only thing that made the Chu army unclear about its strength was Li Tang's sailor. If this plan of cross-sea expedition can really be realized, then Li Tang must have sent elite troops, so far... So, Ma Yun and the others sent people to spread messages in Li Tang, saying that the people in Li Tang were miserable and rebelled, causing rumors about Li Tang to spread and surprise them overnight; On the other hand, he asked Xueyun, Zhangjia, Li Zhao and others to unite businessmen in various places to collectively resist the imperial court's "Suppression of Copper Coin Order", in many places, merchants boycotted the market and closed all day, Feng Yansi's pressure increased sharply, and the domestic economic situation was difficult, so that he was forced to have no choice but to shift his attention to the southern expedition, but Cha Wenhui had been in Shaozhou for two or three months, and he attacked repeatedly, losing 30,000 troops, but Shaozhou City still did not move.

There are a lot of Han soldiers in Shaozhou, if you ignore Shaozhou and attack Yingzhou in the south, it will be a dead end, Cha Wenhui will not do this if he is stupid, unless, the imperial court will send another 100,000 troops, Li Tang treasury grain is barely there, but he has no soldiers, first Fujian, then Huaibei, they have lost 100,000 soldiers and horses in the past two years.

Feng Yansi, who was at the end of his rope, finally remembered the method of crossing the Hainan expedition and put it into practice. I'm not afraid of people knowing, I'm afraid of people worrying, Chu Guo is a spy in Li Tang, half of them are staring at this matter, Li Jinggang nodded, and Ma Yun basically knew. What to do next, that's not easy...

In the hall of the Assassin's Mansion, the civil and military officials quickly gathered in one place. Ma Yun immediately ordered to attack Fengzhou!

Since the fall of Yongzhou, Ma Guangmeng took this soldier and horse to travel around the Jianwu Jiedu envoy's jurisdiction at public expense, and the Jianwu Jiedu envoy's territory surrendered. After running out of worries, the Chu army officially advanced the army to the line of Fengzhou and Yizhou. In order to deal with Li Tang and also paralyze the Han army in Fengzhou, the Chu army once attacked Fengzhou twice, both of which were thunderous and rainy, and they got some stone throwers to carry out long-range strikes. There was no loss at all in his own men and horses, but in the opposite Fengzhou City, the losses of the Han army were basically zero, and the Han army was no longer afraid of the Chu army.

"Wang Tou, look, Chu Jun is fucking here again!" A sentry shouted at the head of the northern city of Fengzhou.

The king's head looked out of the battlements of the city wall, and it was still the same, and the front of the Chu army was still their one hundred and ten stone throwers. He didn't fight many wars in his life, but there were more than a dozen times, but this was the first time he had experienced such a strange war. If other people attacked the city, it would have been a stone thrower first, and then the infantry would charge, build a ladder to climb the wall, lift a log to hit the city gate, or dig a tunnel or something, he had seen a lot, but it was the first time he had seen it like this, just throwing two stones from a distance with a stone thrower. You throw stones, isn't it just to cover the infantry charge, but the Chu army is not, it is a single stone throwing, there is no enemy charge, there are naturally few Han troops on the city gate, although the stone is big, but it is sparse, and it is used for a fart. In the past month, the Han army not only did not lose anything, but also collected a lot of stones and wooden blocks. This Chu army is also sick in the brain, the stones are not lethal, what kind of wood are you throwing!

They're on the castle tower, and it's funny to watch! The Chu army often used to cut down trees in the woods outside the city, and at the same time threw the felled wood onto the city with a stone thrower. It's not like I'm crazy, why don't I have anything to do. If it weren't for the fact that behind the stone thrower, there was a large group of people from the Chu army, and they would have wanted to rush out of the city and give the Chu army a powerful taste. The soldiers of the Han army thought it was funny, and their boss Ning Yuan made Pan Chongche feel confused, throwing stones is easy to understand, after all, what can you do with the ground, why do you throw wood, don't you want to play fire attack, right? So he gathered up the wood and kept it far from the city gate. Don't mention it, on two occasions the Chu army really threw hundreds of burning logs. But it's really not sick, my city tower is bare, what kind of burn can you burn if you throw a few pieces of wood? Moreover, these few burned wood, but only one end was on fire, so he ordered people to throw the wood directly under the city tower.

"Let's go"...

"Wangtou, what kind of thing is this, it's black and a little smelly!" A sergeant looked curiously at what Chu Jun threw up. This time, it was neither stone nor wood, at least not pure wood, but something like a small wooden barrel, which was not yet strong, and fell to the ground and shattered, and a black thing flowed out of it.

Wang Tou secretly looked out from the battlement, and the Chu army was still in the usual place. It may be that this little barrel is relatively light, and it is still relatively far away with a stone thrower, and a small part is thrown on the city tower, but more of it flies into the city, and falls on the streets and houses, and it is all broken, and black things flow out.

Wang Tou squatted down again, and couldn't help but have the knife in his hand to handle the thing that Chu Jun threw up, it was really black, and it seemed to wilt, he picked it with the tip of the knife, put it on his nose and smelled it, it really fucking smelled. What kind of bullshit is this? This Chu army is well fed, what are you doing with these ghost things all day long! If you want to attack the city, you will attack the city, and you will be wandering all day long, and you think you are sightseeing.

Pan Chongche quickly got the report, he looked at it strangely, the sergeant took the stinky liquid, he didn't know what it was, frowned and thought for a long time, just ordered the whole army to lead the troops, see the move, and see what the Chu army was going to do next!

It seems that after throwing one or two thousand of these small wooden barrels, the Chu army began to throw fire balls.

Wang Tou looked at the dozens of fire balls in the sky, and he was still a little admired in his heart, the more this Chu army played, the more interesting it became, such a prosperous fire ball, thrown so high, it was really rare that it didn't fall apart. It's a pity that there is no hay on the castle tower, no wood on the second, and there is a fart. His exclamation had just ended. He found himself in danger. It turned out that after the fire ball fell on the city tower with a "pop", the word Mars splashed everywhere, and some of them were not biased or oblique, and they just fell on the black thing just now. When he reacted, he found that he was actually in the midst of a fire, black wolf smoke everywhere, and there seemed to be a strange smell in this smoke, which made his eyes red, and he couldn't help but shed tears, and after a while, he choked and couldn't open his eyes. He closed his eyes tightly, and rushed desperately towards the female wall inside, but after walking a few steps, his legs were a little weak, and he actually fell to the ground, he barely opened his eyes and looked at the city, which was full of fire.

"Oh no! It's on fire! The sergeant ran to the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion with a roll, not that he was too flustered, causing his legs and feet to be weak, he always felt that his body was a little soft and he couldn't use his strength.

"What!" Pan Chongche got the report, and immediately walked out of the Jiedu Embassy, he raised his eyes to the north city gate to see, not to mention the north city gate, leaning on the north city gate, the flames jumped high and high, the north wind blew the Buddha, the more it burned, the more prosperous, even the people's homes, all on fire.

He hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, hurry, let Li Dujian take someone to fight the fire!" By the way, separate the people's houses, and transfer troops from the east gate and the west gate to the north gate to defend it. Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of war drums of "dong dong dong", shouting and killing, and it came from afar, the Chu army was attacking the city!
