"Boom...... Rumble ......"

The ships sent by Zhu Wei to blow up the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City smoothly approached the water gate, and then stuffed several black powder bamboo pole blasting cylinders into those iron fences.

With the ignition of black powder in the fuse, the strong explosive power of black powder is revealed.

After all, the iron gates used to make gates in these years could not be carefully crafted fine iron, that is, ordinary miscellaneous iron, and only with the help of the thickness and weight of iron tools, it became a gate to block the entry of foreign enemies.

Therefore, under the power of the black powder blasting canister, many iron grilles were directly blown to pieces.

Even the water gate hole, which was more than 100 steps wide, inevitably cracked a lot of cracks under the impact of the black powder that blew up the door, and the rammed earth that built the city wall fell to the river below, making the river water muddy.

This strong explosive force also caused the river in the city gate cave to make waves in waves, as if a strong wind was blowing, stirring the river water and surging on the surrounding river banks.

Although there were still some iron grates left in the water gate, the experienced Zhu Wei soldiers quickly drove over again, and used the prepared iron hammer to bend and smash the remaining iron grates one after another, opening a safe passage for the passage of subsequent ships.

Of course, the power of this explosion of the water gate also made the soldiers of Liu Biao controlled by the Kuai clan on the city wall of Xiangyang panic.

Many people were running around on the city wall, thinking that it was a natural disaster that caused the earth dragon to turn over or something, and some people seemed to know that it was a means made by Zhu Wei's army, and they were bold enough to poke their heads out and look at the water gate.

For a moment, the entire Watergate area was a little chaotic.

Although they were restrained from counterattacking Zhu Wei's army, they could see that the original enemy army was attacking like this, they were still a little uneasy in their hearts, on the one hand, they felt a little guilty for the betrayal of their side, and on the other hand, they seemed to be faintly glad that they had surrendered, otherwise they would not know how to stop it in the face of this strange method of Zhu Wei's army.

At the same time, they were still a little worried in their hearts, not knowing how Zhu Wei's army would deal with them, and whether they would directly face them after entering the city.

At this time, Kuai Liang stood on top of a restaurant pavilion about thousands of steps away from the Water Gate, looking at the situation on the Water Gate side from afar, his expression couldn't help but twitch, and his original hesitation seemed to be a little firmer.

As the water gate was blown open, more than a dozen troop transport river boats on Zhu Wei's side, who were responsible for the vanguard, had already driven into the direction of Xiangyang City from the waterway on the Fancheng side.

The person in charge of serving as the vanguard general in this river boat is Ling Cao, who is good at water warfare, and there are more than 1,000 elites of the Xionglu battalion selected on these more than ten troop transport river boats, including 700 sword and shield men, 300 crossbow archers, plus a few military marquis with good martial arts.

Ling Cao held a sword and shield in his hand, stood on the river boat at the front, and shouted in his mouth, "Kill, take Xiangyang, kill!" ”

Soon, under the shaking oars of some auxiliaries, these more than a dozen pioneer river boats quickly rushed into the water gate of Xiangyang City, and the Liu Biao soldiers controlled by the Kuai clan on the water gate city wall still did not make any means of defensive attack.

And not far from the water gate along the river, it is already close to the river bank of the water gate wall.

Kuai Liang obviously did not respect Liu Biao's military order, and built any obstacles at the inland river of the Water Gate, so the river leading to the city of the Water Gate was very smooth, and Ling Cao, as a pioneer, had already led people to a riverbank not long ago.

In the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City, there are many barren weeds around, and there are not many dwellings here, only on both sides of the river bank more than 1,000 steps away from the water gate, there seem to be some wharves and warehouses, and some restaurants and buildings.

Obviously, this is a relatively remote place in Xiangyang City, and it is not a prosperous main urban area, at most it is a warehouse area where some ships load and load goods.

There seem to be some small hills and woods not far away, and the surrounding environment looks similar to the suburbs outside the city, which shows that the newly expanded Xiangyang City is quite large now, so huge that many places in the city are still empty spaces without belonging.

Of course, after the rebuilding and expansion of this Xiangyang City by Liu Biao, although it also moved a lot of people from the surrounding areas, after all, it was only used by Liu Biao for less than a few years, so the population is still not as large as the scale that Xiangyang City can have in later generations.

After Ling Cao led the people to land from the ship, he quickly formed two dense shield formations and rushed towards a ramp staircase leading to the city wall, preparing to control the city gate tower at the first time.

At this time, Ling Cao could also see the Liu Biao soldiers on the city gate tower looking at him with complicated expressions, and the weapons in their hands didn't seem to be picked up.

Maybe you can really take over the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City without fighting, and then you can act according to the military orders assigned by the military advisor.

But before the safety was really ensured, Ling Cao still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, but carefully led the troops to move to the city gate tower and the city wall of the water gate, only if he really controlled the city gate tower, he could be regarded as truly controlling the water gate, otherwise who knows if there is still a gate gate on the water gate side that can land, blocking the water gate, so that the Zhu Wei soldiers who entered the water gate have no way to retreat.

However, as this water gate was blown open, after Ling Cao led his troops into the water gate, Zhu Wei, who stayed on the south gate of Fancheng, saw the light in the Three Kingdoms game map, but he was a lot more relieved.

At this moment, in the map of the Three Kingdoms game system, Liu Biao's soldiers on the city wall on the water gate of Xiangyang City all lit up with a pale green luster, indicating that they were already from Zhu Wei's side, and it seemed that the Kuai clan was sincere this time and did not play any conspiracy.

So Zhu Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile to Wang Yuyan on the side, "It seems that the Kuai clan is really sincere, so the army will enter Xiangyang, I think Liu Biao also heard the movement here, and the next step is to take this city!" ”

"Well, without the shell of the Xiangyang City Wall, Liu Biao is just a shelled prawn! Order, send troops! ”

Wang Yuyan listened to Zhu Wei's words, looked at Zhu Wei as if he was looking at something in the void, but also believed in Zhu Wei's judgment, so he ordered the soldiers on the side to beat the war drums and officially ordered the siege of the city with great fanfare.

With a burst of orders, the chain river boats that had been prepared for a long time quickly drove towards Xiangyang City under the support of some auxiliary soldiers who drove the boats with pennies.

And the soldiers of the Xiong Lu battalion, who were also lined up in Fancheng to prepare, also under the leadership of Pang Yan and other generals and leading officers, directly boarded the river boat pontoon bridge and poured into Xiangyang City.

In this way, Zhu Wei's tens of thousands of troops quickly entered Xiangyang City along the pontoon bridge, and then the army began to act separately according to Wang Yuyan's prior plan......
