Chapter 500: Strange in the City
As the sun rose, Sun Quan stood in the center of the army, watching the siege equipment slowly assembled.
The time for a cup of tea passed, countless scattered components were installed, and huge siege engines were displayed in front of everyone.
The ten-zhang long head, coupled with the huge body, this is the secret weapon of the Wu State, the water-splitting siege vehicle that specializes in destroying the city wall.
The whole car is made of mechanisms, and it doesn't require too much manpower, as long as one person controls it, it can move forward quickly, and can cause great damage to any city wall.
Because the information that Gan Ning brought back was too amazing, Sun Quan had no choice but to take out secret equipment, not only siege vehicles, but also a lot of trebuchets, compared to Cao Cao's thunderbolt catapult, Sun Quan was more refined and powerful, of course, the materials consumed were even more amazing.
Or the South Gate, the Sun Liu Alliance seems to have a soft spot for the South Gate, and every time the war is here, the city gate that has just been repaired is facing the state of destruction, which is a bitter repairer who repairs the city wall.
"Whew. Woo. Woo ......" a low horn sounded, this is the horn of the general attack.
"Hey, ha, hey, ha." Countless trebuchets were pushed to their designated locations, and boulders were ready to go.
"Gollum, Gollum." The Siege Engines also began to start, and the water in the vehicles was driven by the mechanism to increase the power of the siege vehicles, replacing the consumption of manpower.
"Target Xiangyang City, attack." Seeing that everything was ready, Sun Quan shouted directly.
His shouting made the drummers excited, and they beat the war drums violently and orderly, sending a signal to the whole army.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At the forefront of the "kill, kill, kill......" army, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ganning, Tai Shici, the four major generals were uniform, and they took the lead in the charge.
The moment they charged, the trebuchet began to move, and countless boulders flew over the four of them, killing towards the walls of Xiangyang City.
The "Dong ......" boulder flew in the sky, and when it smashed the city wall, it made a dull loud noise, causing heavy losses to the Cao soldiers above, even with the help of defensive equipment, it could not completely block the impact of the boulder.
Seeing that the trebuchet worked, Guan Yu and the four of them instantly accelerated and launched a fierce attack on the city gate.
It's also strange to say, Dian Wei and the others should have appeared, but this time, they didn't come, which made Guan Yu and the others both excited and nervous, excited that the city gate was destroyed in a few clicks, and nervous that they didn't know where Dian Wei and the others were.
After the destruction of the city gate, Guan Yu and the four did not immediately kill it, but waited for the arrival of the army.
"Gollum, Gollum." The army was accompanied by siege engines, and instead of going to the gates, they drove to the walls, and to see what they looked like, to destroy the walls.
"When, when, when." The violent impact knocked the city wall through cracks, and countless sand and stones fell from above, smashing on the siege engine.
However, when the dust cleared, the siege vehicle continued to attack, without any scars, it was worthy of a machine made of high-grade materials, that is, it was sturdy, and even the personnel who controlled it did not have any problems.
At the gates of the city, the army began to assemble and then attacked the gates.
In the distance, the trebuchet moved forward again and began to support the army in front, wantonly destroying everything in Xiangyang City, even if he accidentally injured the resident Sun Quan.
The army entered Xiangyang City in an instant, and they were greeted by an empty city, looking at the scene in front of them, it was greatly unexpected by everyone, and they didn't understand what Cao Jun had in mind.
"Don't panic, gather together, kill into the city, and the scouts will start probing."
"Quick, target the City Lord's Mansion, kill."
"Scout, start a city-wide search."
It is worthy of Guan Yu, after finding out that something is wrong, he hurriedly let the army move, no matter what the enemy's situation is, as long as they take the City Lord's Mansion, they will be victorious.
Under the command of Guan Yu, the army began to disperse, and went straight to the city lord's mansion, while killing, while rushing into the homes of nearby residents, to find out if there was an enemy inside, if not, it would quickly withdraw without causing harm to the residents, if there was, then it would be embarrassing, only one word to kill.
The speed of advance was fast, and when it was not far from the City Lord's Mansion, Guan Yu and the others encountered the enemy, and the six people of Dian Wei stood in front of the City Lord's Mansion, smiling at the four of them, as soon as they stepped forward, they would attack wildly, and if they retreated, they would ignore them.
This made Guan Yu and the four of them speechless, if they fought, they would not have an advantage, and they would not be able to complete the task if they did not fight, and they were in a state of stalemate for a while.
The stalemate between Guan Yu and Dian Wei and others did not let Sun Quan and the others relax, countless weapons began to enter the city, and the army rushed into Xiangyang City and began to occupy everything that could be occupied.
And some of the construction professions are starting to scout for traps in the city, and they don't want to run headlong into the enemy's ambush, which is a big joke.
At the same time, on the other side of Xiangyang City, countless Cao troops were huddled together, waiting for orders.
Except for the six top generals of Dian Wei at the front, the other generals were all at the North City Gate, as if they were guarding against something.
Suddenly, on a working teleportation array, several rays of light flashed, and several figures appeared, which disappeared directly after some investigation.
If it was peacetime, it would have been discovered by the guards a long time ago, but now it is a time of war, and no one has to manage the magic circle, so naturally it cannot be discovered.
After a while, several more figures appeared, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, making the passing soldiers think they were dazzled.
"Lord, it seems that Liu Bei and others have the upper hand." Shi A said to Li Yi.
Looking at Sun Quanjun's clothes, Li Yi was a little surprised, he didn't understand how Guo Jia did it, he was fighting so hard when he had such an advantage, what was his plan or what, which made Li Yi unable to understand.
At the moment when Shi A sent the news back, Li Yi couldn't sit still, and wanted to go to the front line to see what the lord of the big murderer was, in his previous life, Cao Cao was not this profession.
For Li Yi's safety, Zhang Jiao was awakened and handed over the task of guarding the altar to the three of Lu Bu, and with their three top generals, ordinary people could not destroy the altar.
This time, Li Yi brought Zhang Jiaoshi and dozens of assassins, all of whom came specifically to find out the news, and by the way, he was a little more passionate about his dull days.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhang Jiao's brow began to wrinkle, as if he had discovered something.
Hearing Zhang Jiao's voice, Li Yi looked over and saw Zhang Jiao maintaining a concealment spell while probing the surrounding situation.
With the help of the spell, Li Yi could see a huge pattern appear on the ground, which had been connected to a long distance, but there was more than one pattern, there should be many, many more, so many that Li Yi's line of sight could not accommodate them all.
"This is a circle?" Although he didn't know what it was, Li Yi guessed that it should be part of the magic circle, looking at the scale of this magic circle, at least a large area was shrouded, and the consumption of the magic circle alone was worth the cost of millions of troops.
"Lord, this is indeed a magic circle, and the grade of the magic circle is very high, I can't find any effect, I just know the approximate range, the entire Xiangyang City, no, with the city wall of Xiangyang City as the boundary, expands outward for three thousand miles, and within this range, it is under the shroud of the magic circle." Zhang Jiao's words made Li Yi grow his mouth.
According to Zhang Jiao, after calculation, the consumption of the light magic array is at least the consumption of three billion troops, and it is also an elite-level army, is Cao Cao crazy? Or is Guo Jia crazy?
"Lord, according to the information I heard at that time, Cao Cao is still asleep, and now it should be Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao who are in charge." Shi Ah reminded from the side.
After Li Yi heard this, he still shook his head, there is too little information now, and he can't calculate anything, so let's watch the play first.
"Let's go, let's go to the western wall and have a look there." Li Yi thought for a while and decided to go to the west to have a look.
The south is occupied by Sun Quan and Liu Bei at the moment, there are too many people going there, and it is easy to leak, and the north is in the hands of Guo Jia, only the west and east are relatively safe, and their position at the moment is the closest to the west, as long as they go up to the city wall and let Zhang Jiao cast a spell, they can watch the most central picture, although it is a silent picture.
The group moved quickly and, with the help of a concealed spell, reached the city wall safely.
Climb the city walls, find a place where no one is located, sit cross-legged, and wait for the horn spell to be completed.
With the recitation of Zhang Jiao's incantation, a hazy water mirror appeared, and the slowly wriggling water mirror became condensed little by little, and when the mirror surface was completely solidified, scenes began to appear inside.
Starting from the view of the city wall at your feet, you will move little by little into the city.
Passing over the houses of countless residents, flying over the heads of countless armies, and coming above Guan Yu and the others, Li Yi spoke.
"Stop, here it is." Li Yi's opening made the angle of the manipulation spell stop moving, and began to enlarge the displayed screen.
I saw Guan Yu Zhang Fei Gan Ning Tai Shi Ci glaring ahead, in front of them, the six people of Dian Wei looked at them with a smile, they didn't care about their attack at all, they had an advantage in numbers, not only them, but Cheng Yu and Sima Yi behind Dian Wei looked at the enemy with such a smile, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.
The stalemate didn't last long, as countless boulders began to attack, and arrows rained down from the sky, and in the water mirror, it was a silent battle, while in reality the sound was colorful.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
Boulders and arrows drive the wind, bury all other sounds, and then disappear.
Guan Yu's eyes stared ahead, and a thin black light curtain appeared, bounced all the boulders and arrows above, this is Cao Cao's formation defense, with the help of the power of the formation, all long-range attacks are blocked and transferred.
Seeing that the direction of the transfer turned out to be a residential area, which made Sun Quan dumbfounded, he didn't expect Cao Cao, who has always loved the people, to act like this.
After the boulder fell, countless houses were destroyed.
For a while, the screams were repeated, because the attack came suddenly, and the residents were hiding in their homes, this round of attacks directly caused the death of millions of residents, and this was only the beginning, after the house was destroyed, I don't know why the fire began to ignite, in the panic, the fire became more and more intense, and began to envelop the entire Xiangyang City.
Because of the stalemate with Cao Cao's army, neither side dared to act rashly, the Sun-Liu coalition army did not dare, and Cao Cao's army did not do it.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, even in Jingzhou, a watery place, it can't stop the fire from burning, and if it goes on like this, Xiangyang City will be burned down.
