"Storm?" Not only Wang Kai, but even Tian Feng was stunned, looking at each other, not understanding what Wang Xu was referring to.

Smiling inscrutablely, Wang Xu's right index finger lightly tapped the armrest of the handsome chair, and did not explain much to the two. After a long time, he said: "Big brother, don't care why, in short, you just let Chen Deng go over first, with him, even if there is an accident, Zhang Ling can hold on for a while longer." ”

"Hmm!" Although he was very puzzled, Wang Kai didn't ask any more and agreed.

Tian Feng vaguely guessed some possibilities, but after all, he couldn't be sure, seeing that Wang Xu didn't want to say, he had to turn around and say: "Lord, it depends on your intentions, it seems that you have other intentions, but I don't know if Jiangzhou is really fighting or fake?" ”

"Of course it's a real fight." Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and said categorically: "This time we enter Shu, we must take Jiangzhou no matter what, this is the bridgehead for us to start a full-scale war with Liu Yan in the future!" Moreover, I want to fight him so that he has no power to fight back, beat him to the cold, and beat Shu to terror, so that he can see the real strength of our Jingzhou army. ”

Hearing Wang Xu's high-profile declaration for the first time, Tian Feng was slightly surprised, although the current Jingzhou does have that kind of strength, but with Wang Xu's character, it has always been weak, and then weak, such a declaration is really rare. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Lord, I don't know why you are so ...... this time."

"So strong, huh?" Wang Xu took over with a smile, his eyes staring ahead, his eyes revealing a rare domineering. "Yuan Hao, I have always been very weak in the past, and every time I worry about this and that, I am actually thinking about the overall situation. Now, my Jingzhou has become a climate, and I should make a move, and I should be strong. The reason why I haven't forcibly expanded over the years, why I have to accumulate strength, why I have to forbear, is just to accumulate a lot of money. ”

"Yes, in terms of territorial population and prosperity, Jingzhou is still inferior to the northern states. In terms of military strength, we are not as good as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other forces. Although after all these years of development. Even if it does not affect the prospects of Jingzhou as a whole. I could also support more soldiers, but I never expanded my army again, and I always kept all the regular army at only about 200,000, not as many as them. This qiē is just to accumulate heritage, the Central Plains has an innate advantage over the south, but the south also has its own advantages. That is, you don't have to face the competition of countless princes all the time, you don't have to use all your materials for attacking, you can save slowly, and you have the conditions for accumulation. ”

"At present, the general trend of Jingzhou has become clear, and what should be taken must be obtained. After all, it is necessary to make a hair. I'm going to send it to Liu Yan now, let him be afraid, let him be afraid, let him understand, no matter sooner or later, Yizhou will definitely be ours. Although he is a hero in the world, he is also a celebrity for thousands of years, but in my eyes. He. It's nothing at all! ”

I feel Wang Xu's momentum at the moment and his ambition in the world. Tian Feng and Wang Kai's hearts were full of excitement, and they all stood up and saluted almost instantly. "The lord is ambitious, I am willing to follow to the death and help the world!"

"Hahahaha! Okay, let's go together to complete this world-famous feat and go down in history! ”

With Wang Xu's bold words, the hearty laughter of the three people soon came from the tent......

At dawn the next day, Diannong Zhonglang sent Yang Feng to the front line on time, and the soldiers who escorted him and the people who assisted in the transportation stretched for several miles. At this time, there was no need for any hesitation, Wang Xu, who had already been ready to go, immediately asked the soldiers of the whole army to assemble the siege equipment, and then ordered 30,000 horses, and quickly approached Jiangzhou with the first batch of assembled equipment.

Yan Yan was rewarded by the spies, and he immediately prepared for war, mobilized soldiers to defend the city wall, and took the generals to the city tower to command. But when the Jingzhou army approached the city, although he had already made some preparations, he was still stunned for a long time when he saw the dense soldiers and the tall and hideous siege equipment, not to mention the other generals and ordinary soldiers on the city wall.

Because it was so shocking, dozens of large siege towers, dozens of climbing arrow towers taller than the city walls, hundreds of light hook ladders, and many ladders of different sizes, giant crossbows, rushing cars, and even twenty catapults twice as large as the regular ones, how could you not be frightened?

"This ...... This ......" This kind of majesty made the generals beside Yan Yan stunned, and their lips trembled and they couldn't speak. Even yesterday's majestic performance, the young Gan Ning, whose self-confidence exploded, was also completely shocked.

Soon, as the army entered the effective range of the catapult, Wang Xu quickly ordered the soldiers to stop. After watching from afar, he slowly urged him to step forward, facing the defenders who were shocked to silence at the head of Jiangzhou City, with an evil smile on his face.

"General Yan, surrender! You don't have a choice! Wang Xu's first sentence showed the domineering that was bound to win. The sound of shouting instantly reached the city, and with the might of the Jingzhou army, everyone couldn't stop trembling.

Although Yan Yan was worried in his heart, he immediately showed his demeanor as the main general, and he pulled out the long sword at his waist without fear, and roared loudly: "The thief Wang Xu, he actually attacked the princes of one side without authorization, the emperor's relatives and relatives, how can we give in?" This Jiangzhou, but there are severed generals, no generals! Sons and gentlemen, the time has come to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, yesterday General Gan defeated the enemy generals, they can only rely on these tools, our soldiers are heroic sons and daughters, how can they be afraid of the earth, stone and wood? ”

His heavy drinking was really like a reassuring pill, which calmed the Jiangzhou defenders a lot.

Wang Xu didn't care, and when he heard his words, he had an idea, but laughed loudly: "Yes, General Gan is incomparably brave, and we are invincible." But so what, the two armies are fighting, as long as they win. ”

No one expected this, the generals in Jingzhou looked at each other, and no one understood what medicine Wang Xu was selling in the gourd. This kind of words to increase the morale of the enemy army and hit their own momentum can also be said, let alone as the commander of their own side.

Sure enough, the faces of the Jiangzhou soldiers at the head of the city became more determined, and their fighting spirit rose, while the Jingzhou soldiers were a little weak. If it weren't for Wang Xu's extremely high prestige, coupled with their absolute confidence in the high-level leaders of Jingzhou, and their upper hand at this time, they don't know what kind of impact their morale will take.

However, after Wang Xu paused slightly, he immediately continued: "As for attacking without authorization, this general can't afford it." Liu Yan is the real thief, perverse and exploiting the people, which is unkind. Secretly sent people to pretend to be bandits to cut off the main road to Beijing, intending to be a soil emperor, but it was disloyal. At that time, it was unjust to send Zhang Lu and others to seize Hanzhong and attack and kill colleagues. Such disloyal, unkind, and unrighteous people will be punished by everyone in the world, and I will only suppress the rebellion for the country! ”

"Thieves don't want to talk nonsense!" Yan Yan was furious and suddenly interrupted Wang Xu's words. "You want to attack Yizhou, why do you need this excuse?"

"Whether it's an excuse or not, everyone in the world sees it. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, it is useless to talk more today, and see the real chapter on the battlefield! Wang Xu has never been very interested in this kind of scolding battle, and after the hasty end, he pulled out his horse and returned to the battle.

"Catapults are ready, every five cars in a group, and I'm aiming and smashing non-stop!"

Following his order, twenty giant catapults instantly burst out with extremely strong power, and twenty boulders smashed into the Jiangzhou city wall with a "bang", and the accuracy rate of this first wave was as high as 40%. This is a matter of course, these things not only have Wang Xu's simple measuring tape and angle ruler born in later generations, but also the research and improvement of countless craftsmen, and the accuracy rate is naturally high enough, otherwise it is not in vain to invest so much money and materials every year to encourage the development of original technology?

"Hidden, hidden!"

Seeing that the accuracy of these giant catapults was so high, Yan Yanke was really taken aback. According to the convention, the larger the catapult, the lower the accuracy, and it is also extremely fragile, but at present, it seems that this is not the case, and immediately yelled at the soldiers under his command to find cover.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Xu was happy, and stood on the horse contentedly, contented. The generals were also very excited, and they were ready for Wang Xu's order to attack the Jiangzhou city defense with soldiers and siege equipment.

However, the generals' wishes were destined to fail, as the boulders flew out wave after wave, Wang Xu had no intention of stopping at all, no matter how the Jiangzhou soldiers on the head of the city dodged, no matter how empty it was, no matter how good the opportunity to storm the city was, he just didn't order the siege. And the accuracy rate of catapults is also impressively mentioned to be the highest, with more than 60 percent.

After a long time, Han Meng and the others finally couldn't help but ask aloud: "Lord, the enemy army is avoiding, the formation at the head of the city is unstable, it is a good time to enter the city, why don't you attack yet?" ”

"Sortie?" The corners of Wang Xu's mouth pulled out the signature arc, and he asked with a wicked smile: "Why do you want to move?" Didn't I say that I was going to smash Jiangzhou open? How good is it to just let it not fight back? It also reduces casualties and can ......"

But before he could finish speaking, Yan Yan's angry shouting came quickly: "Traitor, you have the ability to come to fight, what does this action mean?" ”

He was also forced to be unable to bear it, these trebuchets were extremely huge, and the stones fired were also boulders, and the accuracy was high, even if the soldiers dodged under the female wall and in the city, they would also cause a lot of casualties. Moreover, this continuous bombardment is very powerful for the destruction of city walls and city defense facilities. Most of all, it scared the soldiers. He had never seen such a siege method in his life, catapults had been there for a long time, but they had never had such a high accuracy rate, and such a huge catapult had not been damaged for a long time, and he had never heard of it.

In the history of warfare, when there were sufficient supplies, a large number of catapults were bombarded, but they were definitely not so powerful, and the catapults would gradually damage when they were fired one after another. In the end, relying on such suppression, the army quickly rushed to the city wall, and then entered the white-knuckle battle.

At this moment, the Jingzhou army was very quiet, only the sound of catapults firing, and Yan Yan's voice was naturally extremely loud in the empty battlefield.

Wang Xu didn't talk to Han Meng anymore, and shouted with a laugh: "Hahaha! General Yan, you are also a person who has been in battle for a long time, don't you know that the two armies should make the most of their advantages? Liu Yan's anti-thieves have been operating in Yizhou for many years, and they also have a huge amount of siege equipment in their hands! If you have the ability, you can come out and attack like this, and General Ben will definitely not say a word. But what else can he do besides huddle in Yizhou, relying on the mountains and rivers to stubbornly hold on, and oppress the local people? Even now, you can lead the army out and set up a battle to fight, and my Jingzhou soldiers will definitely accompany you to the end! Hahahaha! (To be continued.) )
