Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 270 The Trend of Breaking the City
Zhao Wang quickly submitted the battle report, saying: "In this war, our army killed nearly [-] enemies. Although we also suffered nearly [-] casualties, we harvested a large number of arrows, warships and other materials. Happily, we also captured fifteen catapults from the battlefield this time!"

Feng Yao's eyes lit up and he smiled!
Because of the Wenshui River, it is difficult to transport the catapults left on the south bank from the south bank to the north bank. They can only be disassembled and then transported over for reassembly. It will take about two days, but here Every extra day spent on the battlefield will be disadvantageous to Feng Yao!
But now because of these catapults seized from the enemy, Feng Yao can make the army launch a long-range attack on Wuyan City immediately!
"Zhao Wang, this news is very good! I will read the specific battle report later, you go down first, and pass my order, today's dinner will be brought forward to Shen time! And you immediately send handymen to collect stones that can be used by catapults from nearby !” said Feng Yao.

"Please don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will definitely collect enough stones this time!! If Wuyan City is smashed to pieces, I'll see if they dare to hide in the city!!" Zhao Wang raised his head, his expression excited.

Feng Yao nodded and said, "Okay, this kind of spirit is what we want! You hurry up and get ready!"

After Zhao Wang left, Xu Shu said: "It seems that we don't need to use any tricks. We only need to gather the army, set up camps, and force the defenders in the city to fight! We don't have to go to the enemies of Qinglong Mountain and Tiger Mountain. Take care, as long as Wuyan City is broken, the enemy soldiers from the two mountains will naturally have nothing to rely on!"

Feng Yao then ordered Wei Yan to guard the right village against Qinglong Mountain enemy soldiers, and Xue Yong to guard the left village against Baihu Mountain enemy soldiers. Before the battle, prepare for the attack!
What we are waiting for now is the news from Xu Chu and Xu Shang. If the mission is completed, they will use the method of persuading them to surrender. If they fail, Feng Yao will immediately order the catapult to launch a fierce attack on the city overnight!It will not stop for a moment until the city is captured!

……

Xu Chu led two thousand tiger guards and more than 100 soldiers under Xu Shang, driving a total of [-] medium-sized warships and [-] small fishing boats down the Wenshui River. No flags.

It is more than 60 miles from the vicinity of Wuyan to Juyeze, and it is about a hundred miles away from the middle of the lake. The fleet advanced for less than an hour before entering Juyeze. Due to the lack of speed along the water, the fleet The forward speed of his body slowed down a little, but after another half an hour, an island about three or four miles long and wide appeared in front of him.

"Commander Xu! It's that small island! We must unify our caliber and say that we came here under Li Dian's order. As long as we land on land, everything will be easy!" Xu Shang said.

When they were approaching the island, several fishing boats nearby saw Xu Chu's fleet, and they didn't become suspicious. They just rowed the fishing boats aside and started paddling towards the shore of the island at the same time, as if they wanted to rush back. Check it out.

Xu Chu wanted to send out boats to drag the fishing boats back under control, but Xu Shang persuaded him, saying, "It's easy to cause resistance from the people on the island!" Xu Chu gave up.

After a while, the entire fleet began to dock. At this time, hundreds of women and children ran out from the island, cheering and gathered on the shore, calling out the names of their relatives. The family returned after winning the battle and brought back many small fishing boats.

……

Under Wuyan City, as soon as Shenshi arrived, Feng Yao ordered the whole army to start cooking and prepare to attack.

Cheng Yu was in a hurry in the city, he kept sighing.

The people in the city have already started running to the streets, wanting to escape!

Li Dian said: "Uncle, why don't we abandon the city and retreat to Fan County! Then in Liangshan, let the army guard the vital points, even if Feng Yao has a large army, it will be difficult to pass!"

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Nephew Mancheng, haven't you noticed something? The enemy army outside the city has Feng Yao and Xue Yonghe's army, but Zhang Liao's army is not there. I think they must be in ambush. If we Fleeing backwards happened to fall into their trap!"

Li Dian said again: "Uncle,..." But before he could say anything, he heard his relatives report from outside the door.

"King Dongping is here to see you!"

Li Dian frowned, and said displeasedly, "What is he doing here?"

Cheng Yu said: "I guess they came to ask me about defending the city again! Mancheng, the prince will come later, so you must not be rude, understand, I will arrange everything!"

Li Dian nodded, Cheng Yu hurriedly greeted him out of the mansion, and welcomed Dongping Wang Liu Kai into the mansion.

"Now that Feng Yuzhou has attacked the city, how does Cheng Guoxiang plan to defend against the enemy?" Dongping Wang Liu Kaicai asked displeasedly as soon as he sat down.

Cheng Yu said: "I think we can only defend the city to the death. If the enemy comes to attack the city, the ambush soldiers from Qinglong Mountain and Tiger Mountain will take the opportunity to attack the enemy soldiers besieging the city from behind! And we can continuously retrieve stones from the two mountains as a To defend the city!"

Dongping King Liu Kai snorted coldly, and shouted: "Cheng Guoxiang, even a three-year-old child can't be fooled by what you said. Do you think this king can believe it! Don't you see that Feng Yuzhou has set up a catapult outside the city, ready to bombard you?" Inside the city! You still haven’t sent troops to attack, do you want me to die under the catapult?!”

Cheng Yu looked ashamed, cupped his hands and said: "My lord!..." But he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Li Dian, who was standing behind Cheng Yu, looked furious. He took the knife in his waist and shouted: "If you don't think you are a prince, I will take your life with this knife! Go back to your palace quickly!" Go, if you accuse me of Uncle Cheng again, I will report to the emperor that King Dongping wants to control the army and intends to rebel!"

"You!!..." King Dongping was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Dian, and wanted to curse, but his face was flushed and he couldn't speak!

"Mancheng, don't be rude!" Cheng Yu shouted.

Li Dian respected Cheng Yu very much and didn't dare to disobey him, so he had to put away his saber, but his eyes were still full of anger when he looked at Liu Kai.

"That's all! Cheng Guoxiang, I'm leaving now, but before I leave, I advise you, if you have the ability to defend the city, then guard it well, if you can't, then don't bet the lives of the people, let the people of the whole city because of Because of you, you suffered from this meaningless war! Cao Cao has already planned to abandon Yanzhou, but you are here to recruit the people to work for him!!"

After King Dongping finished speaking, he shook his sleeves angrily and left. Cheng Yu's face darkened, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Why don't I know!! It's just...!"

After a long time, Cheng Yu called Li Dian, "Mancheng, Uncle asks you something, can you promise Uncle?"

Li Dian quickly knelt down and said, "Uncle! Let alone one thing, even if there are ten thousand things, Man Cheng can't repay Uncle's great kindness!"

"Okay, okay! Mancheng, as you know, my family is all in Dong'e County. Although it hasn't been affected by the war yet, I think most of them have been ordered to retreat to Qingzhou. I'm just worried about my eldest son. Wu'er, I think he must be leading the soldiers in Dong'e County now, and he doesn't want to leave. If you still obey my order, I will order you now, and immediately take your men to Dong'e to persuade me. The eldest son, Cheng Wu, withdrew to Qingzhou!" Cheng Yu's voice was heavy, and his brows were wrinkled!
