Chapter 180: Blowing up the city wall of Shouchun

The fact that Lu Bu's wife and daughter were all possessed by Yang Ling was already known to everyone in private.

As soon as they saw him stand up, everyone understood that he wanted to seek revenge on Yang Ling!

"This ......"

Yuan Shu looked hesitant and looked at Liu Bei on the side.

A few days ago, Lu Bu attacked Cao Ying at night, but he returned in vain, which made Yuan Shu quite dissatisfied in his heart.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said with a smile,

"It's a good thing that Wen Hou took the initiative to ask for battle. But Wen Hou remember, don't get carried away by anger! ”

"As long as Yang Ling and Cao Ang are captured alive, are you still afraid that Cao Cao will not give in?"

Lu Bu nodded and said coldly,

"Please rest assured, if there is a chance, I will definitely take Yang Ling, otherwise I will come to see you!"

The sound was loud, and everyone felt chills when they heard it!

"It's okay, let Wen Hou be in charge!"

Yuan Shu finally made a decision.

After some careful deliberation, everyone dispersed.

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

But it was said that on Cao Jun's side, Yang Ling knew that after Yuan Shu and their troops withdrew, he was not in a hurry to pursue.

Instead, he led the army unhurriedly, and after a few days of marching, he arrived at the foot of Shouchun City.

Looking at the towering Shouchun City not far away, Cao Ang gasped.

"This Shouchun is so tall, Xu Du is far from it compared to it!"

"Don't worry, Childe, although it looks solid, but within a day, I can take it down, do you believe it or not?"

Yang Ling asked with a smile.

"Take it in one day?"

Cao Ang's face was full of disbelief!

The art of war is cloudy, and ten rules surround it.

Yuan Shu's army in the city, not to mention 80,000 or 90,000 people, plus the city is so tall and strong, there must be at least 200,000 soldiers and horses, so it can be slowly captured.

But Cao's army only had 50,000 people, but Yang Ling dared to boast of winning it in one day.

If he didn't know Yang Ling's personality, Cao Ang would even think that his teacher was bragging!

Yang Ling smiled mysteriously,

"Let's take a look! Pass on my military order and set up camp in place! ”

At the same time, Liu Bei on the city wall was puzzled.

The Cao army under the city did not mean to surround the entire city, but only camped under a city wall.

"This Yang Ling, what do you think, is he waiting for reinforcements?"

"Big brother, I don't think it's likely. If Cao Cao supports Yang Ling, unless he is crazy. ”

Guan Yu shook his head.

After Yuan Shao annexed Gongsun Zhan's power, he now occupies the four states of Qing, You, and Hebei, and has at least two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

This put great pressure on Cao Cao, forcing him to sit in Xu Du.

Therefore, in Guan Yu's opinion, Cao Cao would never be able to support Yang Ling.

Liu Bei also had the same idea, so he was puzzled.

"Why don't you care so much, if he Yang Ling dares to attack the city, I will let him know how powerful my Eight Snake Spear is!"

Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing,

"What the third brother said is right, as long as we hold the city, wait for some time, Cao Jun will definitely retreat."

……

As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang still inherited his father's cautious character.

When it was dark, he toured the entire barracks to make sure there were no problems, and then returned to the camp.

But before he could rest, he was invited by Yang Ling.

When he came to Yang Ling's tent, he was stunned.

Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun and other generals were all present, and everyone was wearing armor.

Cao Ang reacted immediately,

"Teacher, are you planning to attack Shouchun tonight?"

"That's right!"

Yang Ling smiled and nodded.

"Why is the teacher thinking about attacking at night?"

Cao Ang said in surprise.

They are already at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and if they attack the city at night, it will only increase the difficulty!

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry, you'll know later!"

Yang Ling sold a pass, and said to Hu Che'er on the side,

"How prepared is General Hu?"

"Returning to the military division, it has already been prepared!"

Hu Che'er hugged his fists.

"That's good, get ready to act!"

Yang Ling stood up and led a group of soldiers to the outside of the tent.

I saw hundreds of baskets in the open space, all wrapped in black things.

Dian Wei couldn't see clearly, and wanted to step forward with a torch, but was kicked away by Yang Ling!

"Big brother, why are you kicking me?"

Dian Wei said with an aggrieved face.

"If I don't kick you, you'll kill us all!"

Yang Ling glared at him and scolded.

Cao Ang stepped forward, sniffed with his nose, and suddenly raised his head,

"This ...... These are all black powder? ”

He once went to the craftsman's workshop with Cao Cao, inspected the manufacture of the three-eyed gun, and saw black powder.

Before leaving, Yang Ling expected that there would be a siege, so in addition to the Ling Yue crossbow and the three-eyed gun, he also asked Cao Cao for a large amount of black powder.

This is the output of the craftsman's workshop in recent months, which has been exhausted!

"Tonight, I'm going to use this black powder to blow up the Shouchun City Wall!"

Yang Ling's eyes flashed with a fine light, looking at Shouchun City towering in the night.

"Is this black powder really that powerful?"

Cao Ang was a little skeptical, after all, he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes.

But Yang Ling is very confident.

He nodded to Hu Che'er on the side.

Hu Che'er did not hesitate, beckoned a team of soldiers, carried hundreds of baskets of black powder, and disappeared into the night.

Yang Ling's plan was simple.

That is to let the strong Hu Che'er lead a group of agile soldiers to touch the city of Shouchun at night.

Holes were then dug at the base of the city wall and hundreds of baskets of black powder were buried inside.

In the end, the black powder was detonated and the city wall of Shouchun was blown up!

This is also why he chose to attack at night, otherwise during the day, it would be impossible for the Yuan soldiers on the city wall to let them do this.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was not until they were close to Yin that Hu Che'er and the others turned back.

"How's it going?"

Yang Ling asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the military division, everything is going well, the soldiers on the city wall don't notice anything!"

Hu Che'er said respectfully.

Yang Ling was overjoyed in his heart, and then raised the torch and stepped forward.

"Guys, I'm going to treat you to a fireworks show!"

As he spoke, he used the torch in his hand to ignite the lead laid by Hu Che'er and others.

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it has been, but it seems like a moment, and it seems like a whole year has passed.

Under the wall of Shouchun in the distance, a gorgeous white light suddenly bloomed!

"Boom!"

With the sound of a huge explosion, a burst of impact broke and spread in all directions!

The earth seemed to tremble!

Everyone only felt unstable under their feet, and almost fell to the ground!

At this time, I don't know who shouted,

"City ...... The walls have collapsed......"

I saw that the impregnable city wall facing Cao Ying collapsed with a bang and became a pile of ruins!

Everyone gasped, and they were all stunned on the spot!
