Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 750 Another bombardment of Chaisang City
Jiangdong.

Because of Chibi's defeat, Zhou Yu's death in battle, and Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at Xiakou and Fankou, Jiangdong was already in deep trouble.

Today, the internal atmosphere in various parts of Jiangdong appears to be very depressed, and some remote places have even started to make small moves secretly.

Especially the Shanyue tribe who has a feud with Jiangdong.

Now that Jiangdong is newly defeated, their activities are becoming more and more rampant, frequently descending from the mountains to attack various counties and counties, and plundering the wealthy gentry and common people, which undoubtedly added a pinch of salt to Sun Quan's wounds.

Fortunately, the newly appointed governor, Lu Su, does have extraordinary abilities.
Under his operation,

At least now the Jiangdong army has stabilized. As for the counties and counties, it is up to Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others to maintain law and order.

In order to share the pressure on Jiangdong, Sun Quan also adopted the strategy presented by Zhang Zhao and others, connecting Gongsun Kang in the north and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in the west to contain Cao Cao's rear.

Apparently Sun Quan also knew that he might just die, but it was absolutely impossible for him to succumb to Cao Cao.

In order to give himself more room to breathe, Sun Quan took out some of his last surplus money and sent envoys to win over Liaodong, Xichuan and Hanzhong.

But what Sun Quan didn't know was that Gongsun Kang of Liaodong was too busy to take care of himself now, so he didn't have the energy to help him contain Cao Cao.

And Xichuan's Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu even beat out their dog's brains, and they don't want to talk to anyone at all now.

The imaginary reinforcements are probably gone. In the end, Sun Quan can only fight against it by himself.
Winter passed smoothly.

Ke Jian'an 11 years, April.

When the spring of the new year just started, Cao Cao made big moves at both ends.

In western Liaoning, Cao Ang resolutely responded to Gongsun Kang's request to send troops to resist the coalition forces of Goguryeo and Fuyu, and personally led an army of [-] into Liaodong.Although Gongsun Kang is always watching and guarding against Cao Ang's possible surprise attack, there are some things that he can't do just by thinking about them.

In the east of the Yangtze River, Cao's army advanced by land and water, with nearly 40 troops, pointing their swords at Chaisang City.

Joining the army all the way to the east, encountered almost sporadic resistance on the road, and soon arrived at Chaisang City smoothly.

Sun Quan had already returned to Wu County, and the one guarding Chaisang City was Lu Su, the new governor of Jiangdong.

But whether it is Sun Quan or Lu Su, they all know that a small Chaisang city can't stop Cao Cao at all.They didn't expect to stop Cao Cao, they just hoped to slow down Cao's advance.

Jiang Dong is now like a terminally ill patient. All they can do is to try their best, and it will be a day if they delay it for one more day.

Cao Jun's soldiers approached the city, and Lu Su's Jiangdong generals such as Han Dang, Lu Meng, and Ding Feng all seemed a little anxious at the moment.

Because they saw it, Cao Jun obviously didn't intend to give them any chance to breathe.

Strangely enough,
Facing the impending attack of Cao Jun, no matter whether they are soldiers or ordinary people, they don't have the kind of fighting spirit to fight against the enemy.
Now Lu Su finally saw how sharp Cao Jun's ubiquitous psychological warfare was.

There are hundreds of thousands of elite Cao troops outside the city, but their own soldiers and people have no determination to resist desperately, so how can they defend this city, how can they defend it?
On the second day after Cao Jun arrived at Chaisang City, Cao Cao did not besiege the city, but directly ordered to deploy an army to prepare to attack the city.

To the north of Chaisang City, on the surface of the Yangtze River, dozens of three-masted warships have already lined up, aiming at Chaisang City with the side of their hulls.

Cao Cao and Lu Yan came to the front of the battle on horseback.

Cao Cao asked Lu Yan: "Mr. Lu, do you think Sun Quan will pose any threat to us in the future?"

To be honest, after the victory in the Battle of Chibi, the entire history has completely changed, and Lu Yan does not know the specific direction of the future.But without the existence of Changjiang Tianxian and Zhou Yu, Sun Quan would have no chance of making a comeback.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan replied to Cao Cao: "Mr. Cao, Jiangdong without Zhou Yu and the navy is like a tiger without fangs and claws. As long as you don't drift away, there shouldn't be any problem in capturing Jiangdong."

Cao Cao understood it, and said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, with you here, I won't be able to drift away!"

Lu Yan looked at Chaisang, and said casually: "Then stop the ink, and attack the city."

When Cao Cao heard the words, he turned his head and said to the orderly soldiers beside him, "Send orders, artillery bombards the city!"

"Here!!!"

The messenger ran out quickly, and it didn't take long before the sound of war drums in Cao Jun's formation rang out!
Following the uniform chants of the soldiers, the cannons were pushed to a distance of about [-] steps in front of the formation.

The warships on the river also got the signal, and they protruded the cannon barrels out of the baffle of the hull.

The distance of [-] steps is exactly the distance that the artillery can effectively kill and the trebuchet can't reach.

Faced with the crushing from technology, Jiangdong soldiers felt more powerless and hopeless in their hearts.

"The prime minister has an order!"

"The artillery bombarded the city!"

Cao Jun's war drums rang loudly, making the Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the city unable to help their hearts beat faster.

As the sound of war drums kept changing, Cao Jun's artillery lines were all in place.

The faces of Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the city suddenly turned pale.

"ignition!"

"呲呲呲!!!"

"Fire the cannon!!!"

"boom!!"

The uniform cannons are like thunderstorms from the nine heavens!

In the light of the flames, the cannonballs, which almost covered the sky and the sun, slammed into the newly rebuilt and reinforced city walls of Chaisang City at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye!

The earth is shaking!

The soldiers on the city wall were still a little unprepared. After a round of shelling, they were dizzy, staggered, and completely lost their size.

After three rounds of shelling,

On the north and west walls, the standing Jiangdong soldiers could hardly be seen, and the city walls were also pitted and pitted by shells, which looked a bit horrible.

Cao Cao did not give the order to stop, and the Artillery Army continued to bombard Chaisang City.

Some shells crossed the city wall and fell directly into the city, which made the soldiers in the city heartbroken.

Lu Su sat in the city guard's mansion of Chaisang City, listening to the movement outside, his heart gradually became silent, "Cao Cao, he is too powerful and has artillery as a weapon of war, I Jiangdong can't resist at all.

I was deeply trusted by my lord and Gongjin, and I was ordered to take over the heavy responsibility of the governor when I was in danger, but I was ashamed that I had no way to resist Cao Jun's attack.

I am afraid that the only way to repay the lord and Gong Jin for their kindness is to live and die with Chaisang."

Lu Su had a lot of messy thoughts in his mind. He already had the will to live and die with Chaisang City.

At this moment, suddenly several generals rushed in, the leader was Han Dang, followed by Lu Meng, Ding Feng and others.

"Governor, Cao's army is attacking fiercely, we may not be able to defend it!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please make up your mind!"

Lu Su raised his head and looked at Han Dang, with an instant determination in his heart, he said:
"General Han, Cao Jun didn't besiege the city, presumably because he didn't want to forcefully attack and reduce losses.

Please lead the army to evacuate from the east gate."
