It didn't take long for the divine soldiers that Tai Shici said to Huang Zhong to finally arrive at the city of Ruyang, and Pei Yuanshao, the head of the Crouching Tiger Training Regiment, came with the divine soldiers.

Since Zhao Gang and Wang Lu, the second general, withdrew from the front-line battlefield because of injuries, Pei Yuanshao's burden has been much lighter. Zhao Xing let Zhao Gang be mainly responsible for the defense of Crouching Tiger City, which is equivalent to being the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and let Wang Lu serve as the head of the training department, which is equivalent to becoming Pei Yuanshao's top boss.

Pei Yuanshao was responsible for escorting twenty newly cast Shenwu General Cannons to the south for the Crudehu Equipment Research Institute this time, and after seeing Zhao Xing in Luoyang, he thought that the cannons were going to be mounted on the four city gates of Luoyang, but after being kicked by Zhao Xing a few times, he came south again.

Zhao Xing scolded Pei Yuanshao with a smile and said: "You fool, Luoyang City has a cannon on its head, and you don't scare the people inside and outside the city to death? This is to specifically support the Southeast Route Army! Marshal Taishi Ziyi has moved to the north and south, and now his troops are insufficient, and only by supporting heavy artillery can the brothers have confidence in their hearts." The officers and men of the Navy Division have made great contributions in the past two years, and this is the reward I specially promised Ziyi!"

When Tai Shi Ci saw dozens of cross-toe elephants dragging black cannons in his field of vision, he said to Guan Ping and Huang Zhong in a comfortable mood: "Look, I said that the divine weapons will arrive in Ruyang in a few days, right?"

In fact, the reason why Tai Shici was so confident at the beginning was because he had been notified by the Crouching Tiger Equipment Institute two months ago.

Huang Zhong and Guan Ping, who had seen the amazing power of the Shenwu General Cannon outside Chengdu, saw that the Southwest Route Army had obtained as many as 20 guns, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy.

Just before Pei Yuanshao sent the Shenwu cannon to Ruyang, the Eastern Route Army assembled in Chenliu had already approached Weishi, eighty miles north of Xuchang, and the Northwest Route Army was also approaching Luyang, one hundred miles southwest of Xuchang. These two armies are much stronger than the Southwest Route Army led by Tai Shici in terms of numbers and equipment, and they are also equipped with more than a dozen Shenwu cannons.

The three armies had all arrived at the periphery of Xuchang, and when Pei Yuanshao sent the Shenwu artillery to Ruyang, they launched a general attack at the same time. There is no need to worry that these three forces are hundreds of miles away from each other, and it is difficult to fire at the same time, and don't forget that beacon communication is the fastest visual signal. As long as the time of ignition and smoke screen is calculated, it can basically be synchronized. Even if the time for the three places to fire is half an hour apart, it will not affect the overall situation at all.

The deployment of the three armies to fire with Shenwu cannons at the same time was personally ordered by Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing asked for this mainly for two purposes. First, it can deter Cao Liu's army to the greatest extent and psychologically break the fighting spirit of the defenders; second, it can avoid the time difference between Cao Cao and Liu Bei playing with him, and transfer the reserve troops from one place to another for support in turn.

Lao Tzu's three-way army opened artillery at the same time, see which side your reserve troops in Xuchang City rescue!

The Shenwu General Cannon, which had been tested many times in actual combat, still showed its unrivaled and terrifying power in the world this time, and after several rounds of volleys, it tore apart the shells of the three fortified cities of Weishi, Luyang and Ruyang, respectively, and beat the confident defenders at the head of the city to pieces. During the period when the Shenwu General Cannon stopped due to the cooling down, the small Shenwei Cannon was replenished and continued to suppress and fire at the respective city heads.

As Zhuge Kongming expected, now that the general trend has gone, Cao Liu's army defending the periphery of Xuchang is only making a final resistance, and it is impossible to stop the pace of the Jin army attacking Xuchang.

The armies waiting outside the cities of Wei, Luyang and Ruyang were not afraid of the defenders in the city rushing out to find themselves desperately. What are you kidding, there are Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang He, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Guan Ping and fierce people waiting outside the city, plus Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, Li Ru, Ma Liang and other military advisors to assist, who else dares to rush out to find death?

The result of firing from three directions at the same time is that the three cities blocking the periphery of Xuchang were captured at the same time!

The specific battle process is really boring, it is nothing more than the powerful artillery fire that tore through the walls of the city where the defenders relied for survival, and then the hoplites of the Jin State opened the way in front, and then followed by the longbowmen, poured into the city to kill a group of soldiers who resisted to the end, and then captured a group. The cavalry troops followed behind Cao Liu's army, which fled from the city to Xuchang, constantly harassing and attacking, and finally wiped out all the Cao Liu soldiers who fled outside the city......

The troops led by Tai Shici were all infantry, so he watched Chen Zhi lead tens of thousands of remnants to flee back to Xuchang without hindrance, and Huang Zhong and Guan Yu asked for pursuit, but they were also stopped by him. Tai Shici said to the two: "And it's okay to let Chen Zhi escape, anyway, sooner or later we will meet him again under Xuchang City!"

Zhao Xing's speculation was correct, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did prepare a mobile force of 50,000 people in Xuchang City, and originally planned to send troops to support when there was a crisis in a certain direction on the periphery of Xuchang, but this perverted tactic adopted by Zhao Xing completely shattered Cao Cao and Liu Bei's plan.

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei saw Chen Zhi flee back to Xuchang with 20,000 remnants of his army, the last bit of illusion in their hearts was shattered. What made them even more painful was that the Wei clan and the Lu Yang direction didn't even get back the remnants!

After the three armies each won the predetermined target, they slowly and methodically took another rest, mainly to repair and test the light and heavy artillery, anyway, now that the time is on the side of the Jin State, everyone is not afraid that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will fly to the sky with wings.

After a few more days, the three-way army marched at the same time and continued to advance towards Xuchang, encountering occasional obstacles along the way, which were easily removed like autumn wind sweeping leaves.

In early May, more than 100,000 troops of the Donglai Army, the Black Mountain Army, and the Xiongwu Army under the command of Zhao Yun appeared 30 miles north of Xuchang City; the vanguard army, the Kunlun Army, and the Pingxi Army under the command of Guan Yu appeared in the west of Xuchang City; and the Marine Corps led by Tai Shici and Huang Zhongbu totaling 70,000 troops appeared in the south of Xuchang City.

It seems that the east of Xuchang has not been besieged, and it seems that Cao Heizi and Liu Bei can escape east with the emperor. But don't forget that to the east of Xuchang, there are only Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei who are struggling to support, and in a position further east, Zhang Liaoxin has recently obtained the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army that came to support from Qingzhou, and he himself has the Qingyu Army, and he has the Dragoon General and the Black Mountain Army, with 130,000 elite troops in hand, the fall of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei is only a matter of time.
