Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

Chen Deng led tens of thousands of troops and surrounded the entire Xiangyang City on all sides.

At the same time, he asked the soldiers to keep shouting to the city, telling the people in the city that after Jiangdong entered the city, he would definitely not commit any crimes. And those who take the heads of the heads of the four major families, or those who open the city gates, can get 100 gold, and can meet Wu Hou once.

In the next two days, the entire city of Xiangyang City was in chaos.

Countless ordinary people are trembling.

Although the world has been in turmoil over the years, there are wars everywhere.

However, the city of Xiangyang has been peaceful and there has been no war.

Now, the big war is imminent, and many people are scared and at a loss.

Crying everywhere.

What made them even more desperate was that they knew that there were only 6,000 defenders in Xiangyang City!

Moreover, the defenders were already arresting people everywhere, and both the old and the weak, women and children had to go up to the city walls to help defend the city.

General's Palace.

All the ministers of civil and military affairs gathered in the hall.

Liu Cong, the new Jingzhou pastor, sat on the main seat, completely at a loss.

Especially when Cai Mao sat not far from his left hand.

He was extremely scared of Cai Mao.

And the other civil and military officials, all with gloomy faces, made him feel that his breathing was not smooth.

He really wants to tell the civil and military officials, you continue to hold meetings here, and I will go back.

Here, I have to face your stinky faces.

When I go back, I can still grind with Cai's ears and temples.

Since taking over the position of Jingzhou pastor, he has fulfilled his wish with the Cai family.

Cai's is not only beautiful, but his kung fu in bed makes him a little overwhelmed, but it makes people's blood boil.

Everyone sat on their knees and did not speak.

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Everyone, including Liu Cong, raised their heads and looked out of the threshold of the hall.

I saw a soldier rushing in in a hurry, kneeling on one knee, breathless and saying: "The enemy outside the city has changed!"

Everyone was nervous.

Cai Mao stood up directly and said hurriedly: "What change?" ”

The soldier looked at Cai Mao and said, "The four city gates have pushed something that looks like a catapult, but is even taller by the catapult. ”

"A lot of stones were also moved."

"Each of these stones is at least the size of a strong man!"

"The south of the city is the most."

"There are at least sixty of them."

"Each one of these is accompanied by at least three hundred soldiers."

All the civil and military officials suddenly exploded.

"It's the same as what Chen Deng said before, and the siege will be attacked this morning!"

"What should I do?"

"This Jiangdong army, I don't know what siege weapons I get?"

"General Cai, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"In the past two days, they have been shouting outside the city, asking the people in the city to kill the heads of the heads of the four major families! In case of a rebellion among these people—"

Cai Mao was also upset at this time.

These people in Jiangdong are simply too deceitful!

If you want to surrender, they won't give it, this is to kill them all!

At this time, seeing that the civil and military officials not only came up with a plan, but also questioned themselves one by one, Cai Mao roared: "Shut up!" ”

With scarlet eyes, Cai Mao glanced at everyone viciously: "Everyone, at this moment, call all your mansion troops and subordinates to the city wall to defend the city together!" ”

"I have sent someone to inform Wen Ping and ask him to lead the army to help."

"He's coming!"

"If Xiangyang is gone, Jingzhou will at least lose its general territory, and it is impossible for him not to know the serious consequences."

"And now, everyone must do their best to defend the Wenpin reinforcements."

"If I find out that anyone doesn't do their best, and there are still people left in the mansion, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"Disband!"

After Cai Mao finished speaking, he strode towards the outside of the hall.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials stood up one after another, and complained there one by one.

"Threaten whom?"

"My family are all maids, what strength do you have? Called to the city wall to die? ”

"Hey, do it! Now in this situation, once the city is broken, everyone is finished. ”

The civil and military officials could only return to their homes, call all their subordinates out, and rush to the four city walls to help defend the city.

On the streets, people gathered from all directions, converging towards the four city gates.

In an alleyway, Nangong Yan looked at the scene in Xiangyang City, quickly retreated, and returned to the basement.

Lu Shisan and the others all looked at it nervously.

They heard the movement at the gate of the General's Mansion through Shunfeng and knew that something big had happened in the city, and it seemed that the city was going to be attacked, but they were not sure yet.

Nangong Yan said with a smile: "The people in the city, as well as the subordinates of the civil and military hundred officials' mansions, have been escorted to the four city walls, it seems that our Jiangdong army is about to attack the city." Bear with it any longer, as soon as the city is broken, we will go out again. ”

Lu Shisan laughed and said: "Hiding here these days, I'm going to suffocate to death!" When I go out, I must eat and drink enough and sleep well, and no one will try to wake me up! ”

Lu Yi looked at Ma Zhong and said, "Ma Zhong, after the siege of the city, let your monkeys enter the General's Mansion to have a look, and don't let Liu Cong and them run away." ”

Ma Zhong stroked the monkey's head and said, "Hmm." ”

At the south gate of the city, Cai Mao ran up the city wall with a cadre of soldiers.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

I saw that outside the city, ten phalanxes, at least 30,000 people, were all over the mountains and fields, and they were rushing towards this side.

At the head of these ten phalanxes were sixty behemoths taller and larger than catapults.

Each one of them seems to have a wide open mouth, which makes people shudder.

Sure enough, there were two or three hundred soldiers around them.

Behind these soldiers, groups of strong men pulled the wagons, and the wagons were piled with boulders.

Although it was not as exaggerated as the soldier's report just now, and it did not have the size of a strong man, each piece was at least as big as a man with open arms.

Cai Mao looked at this scene and only felt a chill down her spine.

In the previous information, there was no report of this thing at all.

When Cai Mao came to the city wall, Chen Deng led an army of 30,000, with Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai as the vanguard, Zhu Zhi as the main general, Huang Gai and Han Dang as the deputy generals, and rushed over with the thunderbolt carts assembled in the past two days.

The south gate of the city will be the main direction of the siege.

Cheng Pu, Tai Shi Ci and Heng Jie, each led 5,000 soldiers to guard the three gates of the north, east and west of the city.

The purpose of these three armies was not to attack the city, but to prevent the defenders of the city from escaping.

If it was a normal battle, Chen Deng would definitely give way to a city gate.

However, this time, he wants to completely annihilate the tribes of the four major families and strangle the heads of the four major families!

Jingzhou is now controlled by the four major families.

If you don't take this opportunity to suppress the four major families, Jingzhou will still be the Jingzhou of these families, which is equivalent to wasting a huge amount of troops, but it is just a change of person in charge of Jingzhou.

This is unacceptable to Chen Deng.

As the general of the current Jiangdong Military Division, he was awarded full responsibility for Jiangdong's major plans by Wuhou Lu Yi, and he must lay a good foundation for Jiangdong's future domination of the world.

Anyone who might stand in the way of Jiangdong's future must be eradicated!

The army stopped at the edge of the moat.

Chen Deng sat in the rear, looking up at the crowd on the city wall that was constantly busy, countless times more people than before, and his face was filled with murderous aura.

Beckoning to the commander behind him, Chen Deng said: "Let a hundred soldiers come forward and tell you for a quarter of an hour." ”

The commander hurriedly stepped forward to inform.

After a while, a hundred soldiers walked out of the army, walked to the front of the army, and shouted towards the city wall with their hands behind their backs: "Listen to the people in the city, we are the righteous army of Jiangdong!" ”

"Marquis Wu has an order, once the city is broken, the people in the city will not commit any crimes, and there is no need to worry about safety!"

"Wu Hou has always been benevolent and righteous, as evidenced by Lujiang, Shu County, Xuzhou and other places!"

"Those who can cut off the heads of the heads of the four major families, or those who open the city gates, will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and they will see Wu Hou directly!"

"Listen to the people in the city, we are the righteous teachers of Jiangdong"

On the city wall, the people who were forced to go up to the city wall to help were terrified.

Some people are starting to hold back.

Seeing this, the prison guard next to him immediately waved his soft whip and whipped it.

The people can only continue to be busy.

A hundred soldiers shouted for nearly a quarter of an hour before retreating into the ranks.

At the front of the vanguard behind the thunderbolt, Xu Sheng wiped a big knife with his sleeve over and over again, and muttered: "Lao Ling, you have followed, and we will kill the city wall together later." ”

Not far away, Zhou Tai carried the big knife on his shoulder, looked up at the defenders on the city wall, and licked his tongue.

Chen Deng saw a hundred soldiers retreating into the army, so he said to the standard-bearer behind him: "Blow the horn and attack the city!" ”

Suddenly, the trumpet sounded.

On the city wall, all the defenders looked stunned.

Outside the city, as the trumpet sounded, sixty catapult-like things turned in direction, and six pointed in one direction.

Behind them, several soldiers carried boulders into wooden frames.

Around them, more than two hundred soldiers roared and exerted their strength in unison.

Under the horrified gaze of the defenders and the people of the city wall, sixty huge stones whizzed through the sky and fell all over the city wall.

Some of the boulders fell over the walls of the city and into the city, where they fell among the people who gathered under the city to help defend the city.

More than a dozen civilians were smashed to the ground, and blood bloomed like flowers.

The people, along with the prison guards, screamed and scattered in all directions.

People trample on people!

The crowd was like a pebble falling on the surface of a calm lake, and the ripples spread out.

Some boulders fell on the city walls, and the whole city wall shook.

The defenders and people on the city wall were originally densely packed, boulders fell, and in countless wails, pieces of flesh fell to the ground!

Everywhere on the walls and inside the city there were cries, roars, and curses.

Countless civilians and defenders poured down the steps of the wall. ，

The prison guards tried to stop it, but they were trampled under the feet of the swarming civilians and defenders, screaming!

Cai Mao and other generals were also frightened and squatted in the corners of the city wall.

The stone-throwing continues!

Chen Deng looked at the movement on the city wall, and a smile appeared on his face.

Not to mention you minions in Xiangyang who have not gone through a big battle, even Lu Bu and I were so frightened in the face of such an attack on the spot.

However, Chen Deng did not let the Thunderbolt attack for too long.

After only six rounds, Chen Deng launched an all-army siege.

As the war drums sounded, the 30,000 soldiers of Jiangdong rushed to the moat like a tide.

Ladders were erected on the moat.

Countless soldiers carried siege ladders up the city walls.

The vanguard army led by Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai immediately rushed up and killed them along the siege ladder!

The city walls were already in a panic.

The power of the thunderbolt frightened the defenders and the people.

When they came to their senses, the Jiangdong army had already killed the city wall!
