Chapter 311: When the good news came, Cao Cao was overjoyed
On the night of conquering Dahan Mountain City, Cheng Yu and Jiang Wei rested in the city together, preparing to go to Yanmen to the city tomorrow.
The place where the two rested happened to be the mansion of Chen Zhiyong, the general who defended the city.
Because the Shenwei cannon quickly smashed the south and north gates of Dahan Mountain Fortress, and the defender Chen Zhiyong quickly surrendered during the street battle in the city, the entire Dahan Mountain Fortress was not damaged.
Of course, the mansion of the guard general Chen Zhiyong did not suffer from the war, and after Cheng Yu and Jiang Wei requisitioned it, Chen Zhiyong's family was reunited with Chen Zhiyong.
In Chen's house, Jiang Wei and Cheng Yu had just had dinner.
"General, with this divine cannon, the entire city in the world has lost its previous defensive nature."
Jiang Wei recalled the process of conquering the mountain city of Dahan today, and said with emotion to Cheng Yu on the side.
"yes!"
Cheng Yu heard Jiang Wei's emotion, and also nodded in agreement.
"This time, Yecheng only transported thirty-two Shenwei cannons, and it only took half a day for us to conquer Dahansan Fortress, which has a moat and plenty of food and grass and has 30,000 defenders.
If there were 320 Shenwei cannons, maybe just one salvo would smash all the gates of Dahan Mountain Fortress!
Even the rammed earth city wall and the blue brick city wall can only hold out for a moment and a half under the salvo of Shenwei cannons. β
Cheng Yu, who finally had a deep understanding of the Shenwei cannon, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then Cheng Yu smiled at Jiang Wei again: "This is all the invention of your master, Mr. Hou Lin of Hanzhong!"
Ever since Lord Wei and I met Mr. Lin on a desert island, Great Wei has been like a heavenly help! Hahaha! β
Jiang Wei heard Cheng Yu mention his teacher Lin Chuan, and he also laughed proudly.
The two then talked about some preparations for attacking Yanmen Zhicheng tomorrow, and Cheng Yu began to prepare to write a good news for Yecheng.
After an afternoon of fighting, Jiang Wei also returned to his guest room to rest.
Early the next morning, after all the Great Wei soldiers had eaten, they began to march towards Yanmen Zhicheng under the leadership of Cheng Yu.
At noon that day, Cheng Yu's army came to the Deng Ai camp outside the city from Yanmen to the city.
At the same time, the good news sent by Cheng Yu to Yecheng was also placed in front of Cao Cao at this time.
"I didn't expect that only two days after this Shenwei cannon arrived at the Youzhou camp, Zhongde sent back good news to this king, hahaha!"
After receiving the good news sent back from Goguryeo, Cao Cao laughed happily before he could read it.
After Cao Cao finished reading the good news sent back by Cheng Yu, he couldn't help but look up to the sky again and laughed: "Hahahahahaha!" β
"Thirty-two Shenwei cannons smashed the gate of Dahan Mountain Fortress in just one hour, and conquered Dahan Mountain City in half a day, wonderful!"
The excited Cao Cao laughed out loud again in the side hall.
Then Cao Cao sent someone to call Jia Xu and Xun Yu to the side hall of the Wei Palace.
After Jia Xu and Xun Yu arrived, Cao Cao directly handed the good news sent back by Goguryeo to the two.
"What?! Conquer Daehan Mountain Fortress in half a day?! β
Jia Xu, who first read the good news, couldn't help but exclaim.
Xun Yu looked at it carefully after hearing the good news, and the more he looked at it, the bigger his eyes became.
"Lord Wei, thisβthis is incredible!"
Xun Yu, who had seen the good news, couldn't help but exclaim to Cao Cao.
"Hahaha, this king has just received the good news from Zhongde, and it is such a surprise!"
Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Jia Xu couldn't help but recall the scene when they watched the power test of the Shenwei cannon outside the Yecheng R&D base again.
Especially Xun Yu and Jia Xu, although they rarely appear on the front-line battlefield, they are clear about the soldiers and materials needed for the defense and attack of a city.
"Dahan Mountain Fortress is a big city that can accommodate 50,000 soldiers and has a moat, but I didn't expect this Shenwei cannon to smash all the north and south gates of Dahan Mountain Castle in just one hour.
And the Great Wei soldiers died no more than a thousand!
After the city was broken, the defending generals also surrendered quickly, which can be said to be Zhongde relying on thirty-two Shenwei cannons to capture a city for Great Wei in half a day! β
As soon as Jia Xu thought that a complete city would fall into the hands of Great Wei so easily, the excitement in his heart could not be suppressed.
"Next, all the cities of Goguryeo will soon be owned by Great Wei, congratulations to the King of Wei! Hahaha! β
Xun Yu was also very excited, and laughed at Cao Cao.
"This king thought that he would be able to let the people of Great Wei carry out spring plowing in Goguryeo this year, but it was just a word to encourage the soldiers of Great Wei, but he didn't expect it to come true!"
Cao Cao still remembered what he said when he wrote to Cheng Yu before, and now that he thinks about it, it can be said that his dream has come true.
Then Jia Xu said: "Lord Wei Wang, how many Shenwei cannons has been produced by the Yecheng R&D Base so far?" It's better to ship it to Zhongde together! β
Jia Xu felt that if there were thirty-two more Shenwei cannons, then the Great Wei soldiers would be able to conquer two Goguryeo cities in one day.
Goguryeo now has only nine cities, and at this rate, it will be possible to completely occupy Goguryeo in five days.
"What Wen He said is good, we want to provide more Shenwei cannons to the soldiers of Great Wei!"
Then Cao Cao sent people to the Yecheng research and development base to ask how many Shenwei cannons had been newly cast recently.
Soon the guards sent returned to the palace and reported to Cao Cao: "Return to Lord Wei, now the Yecheng R&D Base has newly cast eight Shenwei cannons!" β
"Okay, mobilize all these eight Shenwei cannons to the Liaodong camp in Youzhou!"
Cao Cao ordered directly.
"Wen Ruo, for the matter of conquering the mountain city of Dahan in half a day, we must write a special book in the Great Wei Gazette and the Great Wei Minbao, so that the people of the world know how strong the Great Wei is today!"
After arranging the transportation of the Shenwei cannon, Cao Cao turned around and said to Xun Yu beside him.
Cao Cao's move not only can make the people feel the strength of the Great Wei, but also let the officials and clans all over the world know what kind of power he holds in the hands of the King of Wei!
Cao Cao has this Shenwei cannon, and firmly holds it in his own hands, whether it is external or internal, if he wants to become an enemy with the King of Wei, he must weigh himself carefully, and in the end he can withstand a few rounds of salvos under the Shenwei cannon!
"Yes!"
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Xun Yu replied in a deep voice.
Just when Cao Cao was about to tell the world about the feat of Great Wei conquering the mountain city of Dahan in half a day, Cheng Yu and Jiang Wei had already told Deng Ai how to conquer the mountain city of Han.
"If, like, so it seems, this rock gate to the city can also go down in half a day!"
After listening to Cheng Yu and Jiang Wei's narration, Deng Ai said confidently.
"Good! This attack on the rock gate to the city, Shizai and Boyo cooperated with each other, and Ben General had not rested enough last night. β
When Cheng Yu heard this, he directly handed over the task of attacking the city to Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, and he had no intention of interfering or sweeping the formation at all.
Not only did there be no moat from Yanmen to the city, but the defenders were only about 20,000, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai went out at the same time, and Cheng Yu had nothing to worry about at all.
After mobilizing the Shenwei cannon outside the gate from the rock gate to the city, Cheng Yu went directly back to the Deng Ai camp to rest.
