Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 778
"My lord's plan is very clever. Let Liu Bei and the Chen family turn against each other, and Xuzhou city will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, everyone in the city will be in danger. It is a great opportunity for our army to break the city." Xu Shu said.

"How are the people in the city doing?" Wu Shun asked.

In order to avoid the situation of common people going up the city wall again, Wu Shun instructed that the common people in the city must be persuaded.

So the black guards publicized the glorious deeds of the Wuling Army among the people, and told the people in Yizhou how they lived in peace and contentment without worrying about food and clothing.

The common people are a group of simple and lovely people, as long as you treat them well, they will always think of rewarding you.

Now the people in Xuzhou City have this kind of feeling for Liu Bei.

Because of Liu Bei, Xuzhou's development is not bad, and Liu Bei's reduction of taxes has reduced the pressure on the people's lives, and naturally they have won people's respect and love.

However, under the continuous "brainwashing" of a large number of black guards, the people of Xuzhou have already become suspicious of Liu Bei.

At the same time, when they defended the city, the Wuling army would retreat when they saw it, which made them have the most vivid contrast in their hearts.

Who cares more about the people?

Liu Bei wants the people to guard the city and fight with the Wuling army!

When Wu Shun saw the people guarding the city, he retreated without fighting!

With such a stark contrast, the common people are not stupid, so they naturally know who treats them better.

Some people have already agreed with each other not to go up the city wall to die, because they got the gossip that Cao Cao in Qingzhou is colluding with foreigners and wants to deal with Wuling army.

Regarding Wu Shun's question, Guo Jia said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, if you attack the city again, there won't be any people blocking you."

"That's great!" Wu Shun said.

He is not afraid that Liu Bei will have helpers, but he is afraid that Liu Bei will lose his conscience and do some extraordinary things in order to stop him.

"My lord, according to Qingzhou's detailed report, Cao Cao seems to be in contact with foreign tribes." Xu Shu said.

"Foreigners? Xianbei?" Wu Shun asked,
"It's not Xianbei, but a small country whose leader is a woman named Himiko." Xu Shu replied.

"So it's a little Japanese!" Wu Shun laughed.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom was still in a period of war, and Cao Cao was found, did he want to get help from the Central Plains Dynasty?
"My lord, Cao Cao has been mobilizing troops in Qingzhou, and the most urgent thing is for our army to attack Xuzhou." Fazheng came out and said.

Hearing that Cao Cao had connections with foreign races, Fazheng was not calm at all.

"Xuzhou has [-] defenders. If you can't return by force, wait until the city becomes chaotic." Wu Shun said.

Wu Shun was not in a hurry, because he knew that when Cao Cao received Himiko's envoy, his strength would not be improved.

The Queen sent someone here just to get the recognition of the Central Plains Dynasty. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Himiko wants Cao Cao to help her and deter her opponents.

But at this moment, Cao Jun is weak, although in the eyes of foreigners, Cao Cao is still extremely powerful.But in Wu Shun's eyes, as long as Xuzhou wins, Cao Cao will be restless.

"These days, put more pressure on Xuzhou City and get the soldiers ready. We will attack the city at any time." Wu Shun ordered.

"My lord is wise!" the three praised.

There are too many defenders in Xuzhou, and the Wuling Army claims to have 30. The number is quite scary, but they dare not attack the city by force, let alone go around directly.

Once bypassed, the 8 people in Xuzhou City will cut off the logistics line of the Wuling Army. Without logistical supplies, all combat troops of the Wuling Army will retreat.

This is the reason why in war, if you encounter a city, you will definitely capture it.

……

For half a month, the Wuling army only made tentative attacks occasionally, wanting to see the situation of the Xuzhou defenders.

In May of the 13th year of Jian'an, chaos broke out in Xuzhou City, and Liu Bei dispatched an army to besiege the Chen family.The reason is that the Chen family's father and son collaborated with the enemy!

The Chen family was besieged and suffered unfair injustice. They never passed Wu Shun privately. Liu Bei's so-called evidence was all provided by the black guards.

The Chen family's collusion with the enemy directly angered Liu Bei. You must know that both of his brothers died at the hands of the Wuling Army.

An angry Liu Bei sent troops to besiege the Chen family. Unexpectedly, the Chen family's private soldiers were strong enough to block Liu Bei's attack.

In fact, as early as Liu Bei began to doubt the Chen family, Chen Deng and his son had already united with the family in the city, and together they violated Liu Bei's yin and yang.

Faced with the strong attack of the Wuling Army, Xuzhou will fall sooner or later, so Chen Deng has already led a group of families to express their determination to Cao Cao through Cao Hong's recommendation.

It's just that Cao Cao needs Liu Bei to stick to Xuzhou City, so the private soldiers of each family are still on standby in the city?

Fighting together in the city, the Wuling army who had been on standby outside the city moved!
Until the roar of Puyuan cannons came and went, Liu Bei still did not attack Chen's house.

The Wuling army suddenly attacked the city, and Liu Bei couldn't get off the tiger at this time. The army had already attacked the Chen family, and there was absolutely no talk of a truce.However, at this time, the Wuling army attacked, and the matter was equally important.

The Chen family already belonged to Cao Cao, so naturally Cao Hong would not sit back and watch the Chen family be destroyed.

As soon as the Wuling army attacked the city, Cao Hong led his troops to find Liu Bei. He led Cao's soldiers to take over the battle and continued to attack the private soldiers of the Chen family.

And Liu Bei quickly returned to the city wall to command the army to resist the Wuling army.

……

"Puyuan Cannon, bombed the same place, blowing down the city wall!" Wu Shun shouted loudly.

The Puyuan cannon is powerful, but it is not enough to attack the city wall.However, with Wu Shun's order, the artillerymen immediately adjusted the bombardment position, and then each artillery piece attacked the same position.

The city walls of Xuzhou were tall and heavy, but they couldn't withstand the indiscriminate bombing by the Wuling army.After scrapping one of the barrels, the Puyuan cannon directly knocked down the city gate.

Liu Bei immediately sent people down the city wall to prevent the Wuling army from entering the city.On Liu Bei's side, the defenders are heroic. No matter how the Wuling army rushes, they can only rush in a little distance.

"My lord, something is wrong, the south gate has fallen!"

"My lord, the north gate has fallen!"

"My lord, Cao Jun of the East Gate is asking for reinforcements!"

……

News came one after another, Liu Bei's head was as big as a bucket!
"Here's an order to guard the city to the death. Uncle Zhi, you quickly lead the troops to the two city gates and take them back!" Liu Bei ordered.

"The last will obey!"

Suddenly two city gates were breached, and Liu Bei was in a daze.Moreover, Cao Jun's 3 people held the East Gate, so he dared to ask himself for support.

Chen Dao led the Baixuan soldiers to rush to the rescue, but it was a pity that the generals of the Wuling army were like wolves and tigers. After rushing into the city, they would kill everyone they saw!
Now the people are all shrunk at home, and only a small part still help Liu Bei defend the city.For those stubborn people who don't listen to advice, Wu Shun is very fierce.

It was the White Tiger Legion that attacked the south gate. Zhang Xiong and the others went all the way to the center of the city to kill. The Xuzhou defenders were unable to organize an effective counterattack because of the chaotic command.

When Liu Bei attacked the Chen family and caused the Wuling army to attack the city, he failed to rush to command the battle immediately.The defenders fought on their own, and their defensive line was quickly broken by the Wuling Army.

Looking at the panicked soldiers, Liu Bei felt bitter in his heart.

It turned out that Wu Shun was responsible for everything.
