Chapter 662: Soldiers besiege Chengdu
"Liu Bei did not set up an ambush outside the city, but the scouts came to report and found that a group of men and horses had left Chengdu and headed south."
"After careful inquiry, it can be determined that it is the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo and his party."
Jiang Wei told Yang Ling what he had discovered.
"Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu?"
Yang Ling touched his chin and groaned,
"In this way, it must have been Liu Bei who ordered him to move the rescue soldiers."
As early as when Wei attacked Yizhou, Liu Bei gathered all the troops he could mobilize.
Therefore, at present, the army of Shu Han is all gathered in the city of Chengdu, adding up to 100,000 soldiers and horses.
On the other hand, the Wei army outside the city, as well as the Pang Tong headquarters that had not yet arrived, had 300,000 soldiers and horses.
Not to mention the variety of new ordnance.
Under such a situation, it is reasonable for Liu Bei to let Meng Huo move the rescue troops.
"What about letting him move the rescuers?"
Zhao Yun said disapprehantly,
"It's just a death throes!"
"What Uncle Zilong said is very reasonable. Teacher, I wonder when we are going to attack the city? ”
Jiang Wei couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, wait for Mr. Shiyuan and them to arrive."
Now that Liu Bei and the others have been blocked in Chengdu City, Yang Ling is not in a hurry at this time.
After the arrival of Pang Tong's sailors, it was not too late to attack the city.
As a result, Cao Wei's army of more than 100,000 temporarily camped outside Chengdu.
Let's talk about Jiangzhou on the other side.
Although Zhuge Liang directly gave up resistance and led the army back to Chengdu, before leaving, he ordered the Shu Han army to do everything possible to delay the Wei army's naval division.
Therefore, Pang Tong also spent a lot of effort to land in Jiangzhou.
After receiving that Yang Ling had led the army and advanced to the city of Chengdu, he did not dare to delay and stepped up the march.
From Jiangzhou to the north, arrived in Fucheng, and then successfully joined Yang Ling!
Cao Jun camp.
"Hehe, Brother Xingba, you don't give it this time."
Ma Chao quipped.
When the two sides were separated before, it was agreed to see who would take Yizhou first.
"Why don't you give it up?"
Gan Ning laughed disappreciatively,
"We said at the beginning that we would see who entered Chengdu."
"At the moment, you and the others have not yet entered Chengdu, so naturally we can't be counted as losing!"
"Good you Gan Xingba, you are so cunning!"
Zhao Yun feigned anger and scolded with a smile.
The crowd laughed and laughed, and the tent was filled with joy.
Before setting out for Shu Han, everyone knew that this was probably the last war within China.
In order to be able to win the battle merits, a number of generals asked for their lives.
Even the elderly Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, and Gao Shun even met Yang Ling and wanted to set off with the army together.
Yang Ling understood their feelings, and after some careful consideration, he finally agreed to their request.
Despite their age, their beards are already gray.
But if they don't let them witness Liu Bei's demise and the reunification of Huaxia, I'm afraid that they won't be blind if they die!
At this time, in the Cao Wei military camp, in addition to Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others who stayed in the rear, as well as Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and others who sat in the Quartet, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Pang Tong, Guan Yu Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Gao Shun, Hu Che'er, Wei Yan...... Almost all of Cao Wei's generals gathered here.
Such a luxurious lineup, just to send Liu Bei on his last journey!
Looking at the familiar faces, Yang Ling's heart was surging for a while!
He steadied himself and coughed lightly,
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Hearing him speak, the crowd hurriedly quieted down and waited for his command.
"Since Mr. Shiyuan is already here, let's discuss it and prepare to attack the city."
Everyone nodded, and then there was a detailed discussion on how to carry out the siege.
……
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky broke, Liu Bei opened his eyes.
Although according to Zhuge Liang's meaning, he had ordered Meng Shu to move the rescue soldiers, and ordered the soldiers to raid the homes of Huang Quan and others, the situation in the city was much more stable.
But yesterday, when I saw the arrival of the Wei army's naval division, I knew that Cao Wei would launch an attack in a few days.
How could Liu Bei sleep well?
After calling Chen Zhi and others, Liu Bei personally came to the city wall of Chengdu.
The situation was urgent, and the general Zhang Fei personally sat at the head of the city and was responsible for the city defense work.
He also just got up, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute,
"Big brother, you're here!"
"The third brother has worked hard."
Liu Bei encouraged Zhang Fei and asked,
"What happened to the Wei army last night?"
"Back to the eldest brother, there is no movement."
While the two brothers were talking, there was already movement in the Wei army camp outside the city.
Looking at the Wei soldiers who came out of the camp one after another, Liu Bei's brows were already tightened.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Deng Zhi, Wang Ping and other courtiers also came to the city one after another.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
"You don't have to be polite."
Liu Bei waved his hand and asked softly,
"Do you think the Wei army will attack today?"
Look at me, look at you, and no one speaks.
You must know that they are facing Yang Ling, this old boy has always been elusive and unexpected.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, look!"
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, looked outside the city, but saw the Wei soldiers assembled outside the camp,
His heart sank, could it be that the Wei army was going to attack the city today?
Just when everyone was nervous, something unexpected happened to them.
I saw a group of soldiers come out of the barracks, but these people did not have weapons in their hands, but carried a huge basket.
When they came to the front of the two armies, they put down their baskets, took out a huge cloth, and began to get busy.
"This ...... What is Wei Jun going to do? ”
Liu Bei said with a confused expression.
Everyone was also at a loss, not understanding what Wei Jun's move meant.
"The prime minister has always been resourceful, do you know what Wei Jun is doing?"
Fa Zheng looked at Zhuge Liang.
"Could it be some kind of ordnance invented by Yang Ling again?"
Zhuge Liang was a little uncertain.
"Quite possibly, but is this thing going to be powerful?"
Zhang Fei scratched his head.
"It's not ......"
Liu Bei subconsciously remembered the shock in his heart when he saw the artillery for the first time!
While they were talking, the Wei army outside the city had already assembled the hot air balloon, and after debugging, began to ignite it.
As the airbag gradually inflated, the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air, and the expressions on the faces of everyone in Shu Han changed from confusion to shock, and then to stunned.
Don't eat sour radish!
What the is this, and it can still fly into the sky?
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe it if you killed Liu Bei and the others, just a few pieces of cloth and baskets could bring people to the blue sky!
"I finally understood...... Why was the Wei army able to discover the ambush of General Liu Feng, and the movements of the Southern Barbarian King and others......"
Zhuge Liang stared at the hot air balloon and muttered to himself.
