The surging waves of people came one by one, making Yuan Yunzhen feel like a wave, these Jingzhou soldiers were very heroic, and the mode of attacking the city was far from being comparable to those barbarians in Karasuma before, the Han people were good at casting cities and defending, and they were naturally good at attacking cities and plundering land.

After the huge siege ladder was stabbed against the wall by groups of soldiers, there were immediately dead soldiers holding shields and climbing to the death, even if countless falling rocks and fire oil still could not stop these people from moving forward.

Under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, this defense did not use gasoline, the main thing was to kill and injure more enemy soldiers, if the gasoline ignited and a fire ditch was cast, I thought that these Jingzhou soldiers would definitely give up approaching, and that kind of outcome was not what the defending side wanted to see.

Now there is only a large number of kills and wounds of these Jingzhou soldiers, until their number is reduced to an unacceptable range, Liu Qi will choose to retreat, and only then can he launch a large-scale pursuit, and then take advantage of the situation to capture the entire territory of Jingzhou, which is a strategy that has been formulated for a long time.

It's just that when Yuan Yun watched his own soldiers continue to fall, the feeling in his heart was very uncomfortable, even if he knew very well that this was a sacrifice that had to be made in order to complete the strategy, he still felt very sad, many gunpowder soldiers still knew each other, and it was definitely not a happy thing to watch them being slashed and killed.

The explosion of gunpowder shells has been unable to stop the fanaticism of these Jingzhou soldiers, they seem to have long been accustomed to gunpowder bullets, at this moment, even if those explosions are terrifying, no one will retreat because of this, and even occasionally see a few people in order to prevent the explosion power of gunpowder bullets from spreading, and use their bodies to fight bombs.

"Crusade against Han thieves and revitalize the Han family!"

Every time the Jingzhou soldiers shouted this slogan and charged, Yuan Yun felt as if he really seemed to be a bad person, because every Jingzhou soldier he saw had a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face when he shouted this slogan.

"How did Liu Bei brainwash these people?" Yuan Yun sighed secretly, and then set up a bed crossbow on the highest sentry tower of the city wall, and after a bang, one of the enemy's siege arrow towers that had just approached was blown to pieces by the gunpowder bag carried by the bed crossbow.

Looking at the nervous looks of the soldiers around him, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, and then honestly retreated to the inside, the reason why he appeared here was because Zhuge Liang saw that the enemy army was strong, in order to boost the morale of the defenders, this made him Yuan Yun at this highest place, and now he is completely treated as a mascot.

"Liu Qi only sent the forward battalion, and the lord looked at the teams that were still standing neatly behind, those were the real siege personnel tonight." After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he gently shook the feather fan, even though the weather was cold now, but in the face of tens of thousands of people attacking the city, he still felt a little sweaty.

Yuan Yun glanced at Zhuge Liang's point, and immediately wondered: "Now the combat strength of the people who are besieging the city is not weak, they are heroic and meaningless, they simply don't care about life and death, are those Jingzhou soldiers in the back even more powerful?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Liang and General Zhang Jaw have been talking about Liu Qi's Jingzhou soldiers for the past few days, their combat power is definitely not low, it seems that Liu Bei is also training these people as full-time soldiers, otherwise there will be no such effect."

The battle defended by General Zhang Jaw before, it was because of the regular Jingzhou soldiers behind him that they almost broke the city a few times, so we must not be careless, we must keep an eye on these people, once they advance and start to attack the city, gasoline must be used, and there must be no half of the hand. ”

Yuan Yun nodded, and asked again: "Why didn't Kong Ming let him use his rifle, if we shoot in a row before these people attack the city, we will definitely be able to kill and injure many people on the other side." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "If the rifle goes first, Liu Qi will inevitably retreat in the face of difficulties, and then when he goes back, he will study a good strategy that can deal with the rifle, and then he will attack again, so I don't know how long it will be delayed, the lord must know clearly, we can't wait, the sooner we take Jingzhou, the more beneficial it will be for us to attack the south and pacify the world." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang instigated the feather fan again, and then stared at the tragic battlefield and continued: "There have been several small-scale ship battles on the Chibi side, Cai Mao has won a little, but he has relied on the huge advantage of the warship to win, which makes Liang a little worried." ”

When Yuan Yun heard the news, he was slightly stunned, and said in confusion: "There is no flying pigeon to pass the book over this day, how did Kong Ming know about the battle situation in Chibi?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "Deng Ai has already returned, and after Liang finished organizing the matter of defending the city, he found that Deng Ai's group of men and horses had already crossed the Great Wall from the east side. ”

Yuan Yun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Where is Deng Ai at this moment?" ”

Zhuge Liang replied: "They ran all the way for four days and five nights, so Deng Ai fainted as soon as he saw the light, but he was fine, the lord can rest assured, in addition, the lord should be more concerned about whether Deng Ai's assassination of Sun Ce was successful, right?" ”

Yuan Yun shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Whether Sun Ce dies or not is that number of days, the big deal is to go to him in the future, right now my good disciple is not injured is the most important thing, and now I look at Kong Ming's expression, Deng Ai should be successful, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "Deng Ai's entourage said that their ambush was successful, and Sun Ce was hit by three arrows, but he could still escape on horseback bravely, so whether he died or not, it is difficult to say now, but those three arrows are all critical, and even if he doesn't die, it is estimated that it will be about the same."

This time Sun Ce was ambushed, Prime Minister Cao Cheng believed that he would receive the news soon, Liang was a little worried, Prime Minister Cao Cheng would take this opportunity to launch a full-scale attack, and now the soldiers in the north have only arrived on the north bank of Chibi, and there is no preparation for surface warfare at all, if a general attack is launched, the outcome is unpredictable. ”

Yuan Yun still shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, and then pointed to the gunpowder army that was fighting bravely at the head of the city: "If Prime Minister Cao Cheng fails, won't there still be us?" When we take Jingzhou, Yizhou and Yangzhou will soon be dismantled by us, and I am convinced of that. ”

Zhuge Liang snorted, but did not answer again, but frowned and recruited a few heralds, because Liu Qi finally began to use those real siege soldiers, and the opponent's formation suddenly changed, those Jingzhou soldiers who were about to be defeated on the front line, saw that their own military formation began to bulge forward at this moment, and suddenly it seemed that they had been beaten again, and everyone was brave again.

"Go up to the city wall with Xu Yi's machine gun battalion." When Zhuge Liang issued this order, Yuan Yun unconsciously looked back at the open space in the inner city, Xu Yi's machine gun battalion had been waiting for a long time at this moment, and more than a dozen Gatlings in a hundred catties were placed flat on the floor, as if they were waiting for this to drink the enemy's blood at any time.

Every time Zhuge Liang gave an order, he would glance at the battle array, and then make more detailed deployments, Yuan Yun just looked at it without saying a word, he felt that this was very good, let capable people do what they had to do, this was his right choice as a commander.

When Zhuge Liang redeployed all the soldiers at the head of the city in one go, it was already three incense sticks, looking at the sweat oozing slightly from his head, Yuan Yun hurriedly beckoned Xiao Liu to send a cup of hot tea, and made the stove in the sentry tower a little more prosperous, just worried that the military priest in front of him would be infected with the wind and cold, and there were too many places to rely on him in the future, so he must not be careless.

A long horn was blown in the local camp, and in an instant, the entire battlefield seemed to be quiet in an instant, only to see that the Jingzhou soldiers who were still trying to attack the city before began to retreat gradually, and their faces were even full of regret.

Seeing that the real siege soldiers that Zhuge Liang said had reached the forefront, Yuan Yun quickly turned his head to look at his own city wall, and at this time, he could already see that Xu Yi had arranged the machine gun battalion properly, and the Gatling in those hundred catties was also scattered and arranged, and boxes of bullets were almost piled up on the city wall.

And the rifle battalion is also on the city wall at this moment, those black rifles, and a pocket of magazines carried by these soldiers, look unusually dazzling on this ancient battlefield, at this time, you don't have to guess, you can already know a rough idea of the result.

Sighing slightly, Yuan Yun instantly lost interest in this siege battle, Zhuge Liang's purpose was to slaughter these elite soldiers in Liu Qi's hands, and now everything is developing according to his vision, followed by a large number of slaughters by Gatling, which is not beautiful at all, neither wonderful nor shocking, and the one-sided advantage is cruel in Yuan Yun's opinion.

"Now you don't need me to continue to sit here, right?" After Yuan Yun asked, he didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to answer, and went down the sentry tower by himself.

Zhuge Liang doesn't seem to have any opinion on Yuan Yun leaving now, he is more concerned about the changes in the enemy's lineup, carefully pondering where Liu Qi will launch the main attack, even if he has an absolute advantage in weapons, but he still can't take it lightly, after all, the number of the other party is there, and a bad one will still end up miserable.

After Yuan Yun got off the city wall, he began to walk towards his camp, Deng Ai was resting there at the moment, although it would disturb the child's rest in the past, but after all, it was many days gone, and sending such a teenager to do such a dangerous thing was somewhat indebted in his heart, and it was fake not to care at the moment.

When Yuan Yun finally walked to the door of his tent, there was a sudden sound of dense gunfire behind him, and the battlefield finally changed back to the era of firearms, and the fate of the Jingzhou soldiers was really unwilling to think about it at this moment, in the face of those Gatling's intensive strafing, as well as the shooting of thousands of rifles, I am afraid that no matter how strong the warrior is, he will inevitably fall in this battle.

After a little glance at the white mountains in the distance, Yuan Yun said to Xiao Liu beside him: "Tell our people to prepare, soon we will go out of the city to pursue, let them prepare Lao Tzu's mount, don't be that fast, it's better to use the old mare." ”

After explaining this, Yuan Yun bowed his head and entered his tent.
