Reinforcements came faster than expected, when Cheng Pu's sneak attack failed, but lost a lot of soldiers, he repeatedly asked the rear for more troops, and his urgency was also responded, Sun Quan organized a group of troops from Chaisang again, and many clans also united, and even sent the strong men of the family to the battlefield.

And Zhou Yu in the direction of Chibi did not have any movement, he is now facing Cao Cao's army is already very difficult, it is impossible to divide the troops out, even if the rear has fallen into a crisis, he can only choose to save one place first, after all, the gunpowder army led by Yuan Yun is only about 30,000 people, even if the damage caused by entering Yangzhou is limited, but if Cao Cao's army is released across the river, it will represent the loss of the entire south.

The number of soldiers who came to Sun Quan again has reached 40,000, plus the personnel under Cheng Pu, there are nearly 100,000 troops stationed in the pass, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, even Sun Quan himself in the pass knows very well that they do not occupy any advantage, so the refusal to defend the city has become the focus.

Yuan Yun has been looking at the city wall of the opposite pass for several days, and the other party is constantly reinforcing and raising it every day, and he is very busy, and these so-called reinforcements are a joke in the eyes of the gunpowder army, as long as the artillery is aimed at it, that is, it can be destroyed in half a day.

Ignoring the busy enemy soldiers in the pass, Yuan Yun turned his head and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was still staring at the map, this thing seemed to have a bad temper now, since Zhou Yu did not send troops to support Cheng Pu, he felt hurt, because the other party obviously did not pay attention.

"The assault begins tonight, and by tomorrow morning we should be able to destroy all those walls." After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he finally picked up the map in his hand, and then pointed to the pass opposite with a feather fan.

Yuan Yun smiled, and said without words: "Why do you choose to launch an artillery attack at night, we can start now." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Even if the city wall is blown up by us at night, they will only desperately repair it, and they will never rush out, because the vision is not clear, everyone will worry about being ambushed, doesn't the lord not like to see our soldiers die?" ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, and found that Zhuge Liang was a little angry with himself, and suddenly felt interesting, he was really bored these days, and at this moment he found that Zhuge Liang, who was calm in front of him, was actually angry, and he was really curious and happy.

Zhuge Liang was also stunned when he saw the evil smile in Yuan Yun's eyes, and reacted in an instant, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Since Zhou Yu doesn't plan to pay attention to us, then let's give him some powerful looks. ”

Yuan Yun immediately nodded sincerely: "So let's see if Zhou Yu will underestimate us, and when we lift their hometowns, I don't believe that he can still sit still in Chibi, so as to let out the sullenness in Kong Ming's heart." ”

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes directly after hearing what Yuan Yun said, and then said with a smile: "The light of the past few days is indeed a little angry, which is very inappropriate for the military priest's sacrificial wine, and the light will naturally make adjustments later, so the lord doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Yuan Yun heard Zhuge Liang say this, and quickly shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, I just like to see you puff and puff, but I don't plan to let you change it, so it's a little human, it's always calm like a piece of ice, it's too boring, besides...... Hey, hey, don't go, I'm not done yet. ”、

Zhuge Liang directly chose to ignore Yuan Yun's words, because these words sound sarcastic, and fighting with Yuan Yun at this time is also very boring, if he really fights, I am afraid it will only satisfy the other party's bad taste, ignoring it is the best choice.

The artillery sounded as scheduled, and this time the artillery battalion did not fire as symbolically as before, but specifically picked the position of the city gate of the other side's pass, and the city gate was the strongest position built, in order to prove to the other side that your strongest place was just as vulnerable.

After more than an hour of shelling, the tall and sturdy city gate finally collapsed with a bang, and when the huge city gate fell, countless soldiers stationed behind it were instantly smashed to death, and the defenders in the city were completely helpless, so they could only face the artillery fire and began to collect the fallen boulders again, and then began to pile up the vacant place, so that the number of dead and wounded continued to expand.

On the morning of the second day, the artillery attack finally ended, and at this time, the rifle battalion and infantry battalion, which had rested all night, finally began to move, and Zhao Yun's cavalry phalanx roamed menacingly on both flanks, so slowly moving towards a distance of fifty paces in front of the enemy's pass.

Yuan Yun, as the commander, finally stepped on the war horse and went to the front at this time, and then ranked with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in a position where all the soldiers could see.

Zhuge Liang only said at this time: "As long as the rifle battalion starts shooting, those enemy troops on the city wall will find that they can't resist, so it won't be long before the other side has only two choices, either rush out and fight us, or start retreating."

Liang very much hopes that Sun Quan can choose the first option, so that we can completely destroy it here, and then the army will press into Chaisang, and after a thorough plunder, then go on to attack other places, and we must turn the entire rear of Yangzhou upside down.

If the other party chooses the second option, we will run and chase after us as before, and we will immediately attack after Chaisang, and the result will be that we will also capture Chaisang, and then start plundering everywhere. ”

After listening to Zhuge Liang, Yuan Yun just stretched lazily on the horseback, and then said with a smile: "There must be no problem with Kong Ming's arrangement, since the plan is mature, let's start attacking the city." ”

Zhuge Liang immediately bowed his hand when he heard this, and then patted his horse to the side, where several heralds were already waiting.

After Zhuge Liang left, Pang Tong took a step forward, but he didn't rush to speak, but was silent for a moment, and then said: "If we capture Chaisang this time, we continue to stay in the hinterland of Yangzhou, I always feel inappropriate, Zhou Yu is not in the rear of the situation Xia, will never still insist in Chibi, if he waves his army back, we are likely to be intercepted."

And Zhou Yu is definitely different from the others, from what I know about him, this person is cautious, unparalleled in strategy, and leading troops to fight is even more powerful, once he personally returns to fight with us, and intercepts us, we are likely to be in danger. ”

Yuan Yun snorted, Zhou Yu's power, even if Pang Tong didn't say it, he knew it clearly, but the follow-up raid plan formulated by Zhuge Liang was very complete and efficient, which was really very tempting, and it would be a pity to give up now.

In addition, if Zhou Yu really gave up the defense of Chibi and returned to deal with their gunpowder army, then he would really earn it, because once Chibi was lost, once Cao Cao's army successfully crossed the river, it would inevitably make the south become a lifeless ending.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

The volley of rifle firing finally began, Pang Tong was also attracted at this time, and he didn't continue the topic just now, Yuan Yun didn't think about it anymore, now he has conquered this place first, and then he will attack Chaisang, as for what will happen later, it can only be decided later.

The enemy soldiers in the pass quickly retreated from the city, because continuing to defend in that position was tantamount to taking the opponent as prey, and the attack of muskets far exceeded that of bows and crossbows.

When the head of the pass was no longer guarded by soldiers, Zhuge Liang did not immediately order the infantry to step forward, but let the artillery battalion continue to bombard behind the wall, and now since the plan is to attack the city, there is no need to keep his hands.

After shelling like this for half an hour, Zhuge Liang finally gave the order for the infantry to advance, and the infantry formed a phalanx finally entered the battle, and there was no resistance at the position of the city wall, even if it entered the city, there was no resistance.

Yuan Yun began to doze off on horseback very early, and it was simply breathless, because the battle was so boring, except for the rumbling cannons, there was no excitement at all.

Just after Yuan Yun almost fell off his horse several times, two heralds finally galloped back from the pass.

It wasn't until the two heralds arrived that Yuan Yun preemptively said, "The enemy has withdrawn, right?" ”

The two heralds glanced at each other and immediately replied: "The commander is clever, the enemy has indeed withdrawn, and some of them have only engaged us in a small area, and now they have been completely cleared, and there is no resistance in the pass. ”

Yuan Yun sighed, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhuge Liang not far away, and then continued: "Go and ask the military advisor what to do next?" ”

After the herald left, Yuan Yun sighed and said to Xiao Liu beside him: "It seems that we will not rest for a few days, I knew that Lao Tzu would have slept a little longer last night." ”

Xiao Liu frowned when he heard this, because Yuan Yun really didn't look like a handsome, these days he was not only hanging around, but drinking tea in the tent, and the hard work was basically done by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

This disdainful thought just started, Xiao Liu soon saw the advancing rifle battalion, and then couldn't help but be stunned, the biggest reason why the gunpowder army can win consecutive victories is that it wins in the advantage of equipment and weapons, and it is no one else who brings these advantages, it is the very unattractive lord Yuan Yun in front of him.

"When marching behind, the lord can rest in the frame, and he doesn't have to work so horseback." After Xiao Liu finished speaking, Yuan Yun couldn't help but wonder a little, because Xiao Liu, the guard, had been reminding him that it was best to ride on horseback, so that other gunpowder soldiers could see it, so that his morale would be boosted, but now he let himself ride in the car, which was really very strange.

However, Yuan Yun didn't plan to ask Xiao Liu why there was such a change, he just stretched his waist again, and then said with a smile: "Then why don't you hurry up and bring Lao Tzu's frame, Kong Ming let the camp be cleaned up early in the morning, so that Liu Yiyi and Xu Yi didn't sleep all night, probably because they wanted to take this pass, and immediately began to pull out the camp and pursue." ”

As soon as Yuan Yun's voice fell, he saw one of Zhuge Liang's entourages running over, and naturally he came to get the order of his marshal, so that the whole army could set up camp and start chasing Sun Quan, who was fleeing.
