    Two days later, it was time for the allied forces of Cao, Liu, and Sun to besiege Shouchun City. On this day, the weather was beautiful and cloudless. It was a good weather for killing!

    At three o'clock in the morning, as the leader of the coalition, Cao's camp was the first to hear the thundering sound of "Gathering Drums". Then, the Xuzhou Army Camp and the Jiangdong Army Camp also sounded a continuous sound of horns.  The army came out in full force, like three beasts with sharpened claws, and pounced on the fat piece of Shouchun!

    According to the advance deployment, Shouchun was surrounded by Liu Bei attacking the east gate and Sun Ce attacking the south gate. Cao Cao's army was the largest and was divided into two. Xiao Yi led 70,000 troops to attack the north gate. Cao Cao personally led the remaining generals to attack the west gate. Hundreds of thousands of troops.  Surrounded by iron arms on all sides, the military formation is so vast and airtight that even a fly, not to mention a human being, can't even think of flying out!

    In the city, facing the powerful offensive of the coalition forces, Li Feng, Chen Ji, Lejiu, and Liang Gang were also actively preparing for war. Each of the four men guarded a gate and ordered that all men in Shouchun City, regardless of age, be issued with swords and guns for use.  ; In order to prepare more rolling logs and thunder stones, they tore down the walls of Yuan Shu's "Pseudo Palace" and demolished several rooms in the main hall. Now survival is more important than anything else. What about monarchs and ministers, respect and etiquette, let's have fun.  !

    And they also understand that this is the strongest blow of the coalition, but it is also the last blow. As long as they can grit their teeth and push through, the opponent will lose their energy and be unable to attack again. When the food and grass are exhausted and the division veterans are tired,  It will naturally recede!

    "God bless, the city will be destroyed today!"

    In the west of the city, Prime Minister Cao Cao, dressed in golden armor and red robes, holding a heavenly sword, stood in the middle of the military formation. His three sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, lined up behind him. Looking at the Shouchun City in front of him, he felt filled with emotion.

    This nation-breaking battle lasted from mid-September to the end of November. More than two months had passed. The army fought bloody battles. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, and countless grains, grass and ordnance were consumed. As for the ordinary people affected by the war,  There are countless people, the price is so high, and today it will finally come to an end.

    Regardless of victory or defeat, this is the only battle. If you win, you will dominate, if you lose, you will retreat!

    "Prime Minister, the time has come, please give the order!" Counselor Guo Jia urged his horse to advance. In order to boost morale, today he also wore soft armor and carried a sword at his waist for the first time!

    "Okay, give the order to Jiangdong Army and let them take action!" As Cao Cao said, he raised the flag in his hand and the whole army began the final preparations for war.

    "No!"

    ¡°Woo! Woo! Woo!¡­¡­¡­¡­Dudu!¡±

    Three long and two short, the melodious sound of the horn spread far away

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the south of the city, in the Huai River, the Jiangdong navy has been arrayed for a long time. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, each wearing battle armor and holding a sword, stood side by side on the "Yuhuang Boat" to direct this huge siege battle. The other generals lined up on both sides.  , ready to obey orders!

    "Bang the drum, attack!" Hearing the sound of the horn, Sun Ce, the little overlord, waved his hand and took the lead in issuing the military order to attack.

    "Boom! Boom!Hohohoho!"

    The flags were swaying and the drums were beating like thunder, but the Jiangdong Army's formation did not move at all. Instead, dozens of warships came out from the water village. These ships were relatively old, and the colors of the shipboards were also different shades. Obviously,  They have all been repaired, and there are not many sailors on them. Instead, they are loaded with a lot of sand and gravel, and the waterline is extremely low!

    This fleet sailed all the way into the moat of Shouchun, and chose a place with the narrowest water surface to stop. Then the soldiers above took out iron drills and giant hammers, and worked in pairs to carve out the bottom of the ship~~

    "Ding! Ding! Ding!"

    The hammer fell and sawdust flew!

    How could the dilapidated warships withstand such a beating? River water soon spurted out of the holes, and the soldiers jumped on other ships and watched the row of warships filled with sand and gravel sink, and then another  A row of boats rowed over, but they were still in the same place, using the same method, and they were scuttled one by one!

    The Jiangdong soldiers lived in a swampland since they were young. They had no measuring tools and no clairvoyance. They relied on the changes in water flow to stack dozens of sunken ships on top of each other to form an underwater dam, which they continued to raise and raise.  Thick~~

    And with the formation of the dam, the originally fast-flowing moat finally slowed down, and finally it turned out to be like an ordinary small stream, only flowing trickling, or even the water stopped moving!

    'Sink the ship and block the river', this is the method that Zhou Yu came up with. After being frustrated at Xiao Yi's hands two days ago, he felt indignant and thought hard about the plan to break the city. He vowed to break Shouchun City first before he could realize the dream in his heart.  ??Evil spirit!

    Seeing that the river was blocked, Yuan Jun on the city suddenly burst into tears, as if he were mourning his concubine. If the moat, the most important line of defense, is lost, then Shouchun City will be in front of the enemy.

    ¡°Wonderful victory!¡­Wonderful victory!¡±

    On the contrary, the coalition soldiers cheered thunderously and their morale soared. As long as they could cross the river and talk about attacking the city, who could they, the land tigers, fear?

    "Woo! Woo!~~Attack the city!"

    The horns sounded, and the three coalition forces of Cao, Liu, and Sun issued an offensive order at the same time. Hundreds of thousands of troops roared and rushed towards Shouchun City, like huge waves, impacting a sand sculpture that had lost its foundation, destroying it.  It¡¯s just a matter of time!

    The north gate was the direction of attack directed by Xiao Yi. According to the steps that had been deduced on the sand table, the archers of the brigade rushed to the front line and began to suppress the Yuan army on the wall with arrow rain, while tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers carried  Holding sandbags and working hard to fill the moat, everyone moved forward bravely!

    Last night, Prime Minister Cao Cao specially inspected the auxiliary barracks and made a promise to them. As long as Shouchun can be conquered today, all previous sins will be forgiven and all will be restored to freedom. Those who are willing to join the army can serve the country and fight on the battlefield.  If you don¡¯t want to do meritorious service, you can go home and work at peace and live a peaceful life!

    With such temptation in front of them, how could the auxiliary soldiers not fight to the death? They put sandbags in front of them to block the rain of arrows shot from the city wall, but their feet were as fast as flying. Everyone had only one thought, "rush over and fill up the moat."  , must fill it up~~~"

    The allied forces were full of morale and fought hard, but the Yuan army in Shouchun City was distraught and had no determination to fight to the death. No matter how the "four ministers" scolded them, the soldiers just couldn't muster up their energy. Even Yuan Shu, the "fake emperor"  'They all ran away with the emperor's wife and concubines. Who are these big soldiers working for?

    "Stick to the city, and if anyone is negative again, kill him!"

    In desperation, Li Feng and others had to personally kill several deserters who did not want to go to the city to resist, hung their heads on spear poles, and threatened the soldiers to go to the city to defend, and then barely stabilized the situation.

    However, the combat effectiveness of this kind of coercion through killing was naturally greatly reduced. The soldiers still moved slowly and shrunk. The auxiliary soldiers under the city threw tens of thousands of sandbags into the moat, and only a few of Yuan Jun's arrow clusters were sparsely shot.  Some soldiers, taking advantage of the fact that the general supervising the battle was not close, simply leaned against the parapet and pulled the bowstring a few times from time to time to make the sound of shooting arrows, but in fact not a single arrow cluster was fired.  ~~

    Si, noon, and Wei, for three whole hours, with the efforts of one hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers, the moat, which was originally forty or fifty steps wide, was actually filled with several roads more than ten feet wide, leading directly to Shouchun City.  Seeing this opportunity, Cao Cao did not hesitate to use his trump card~~siege truck!

    "Ho! Roar! Roar!"

    Fifty soldiers formed a group, all of them were over eight feet tall and shirtless, strong men. They shouted slogans in unison and pushed out siege monsters¡ª¡ªsiege towers from the formation!

    This kind of siege tower is more than five feet high, which is higher than the Shouchun city wall. It is divided into upper and lower floors and can carry more than a dozen soldiers. It is equipped with wooden wheels below, guardrails around it, and is covered with cowhide. It is generally  Weapons can't hurt it at all, but the soldiers inside can take advantage of the height to kill enemies. Moreover, after the tower reaches the city wall, the card swordsmen inside can jump over and engage in close combat!

    In addition to a dozen tall siege towers, a ¡®siege crash car¡¯ that could be pushed by hundreds of people was also slowly pushed out!

    This is definitely a giant on the battlefield. It has eight pairs of huge iron-clad wooden wheels, covered with two and a half feet of solid wood and wrapped with iron sheets. Not to mention arrow clusters, even ordinary rolling logs and boulders cannot damage it.  Fenhao, below are sixteen iron chains as thick as arms, hanging from a huge pointed tree more than three feet long. The wooden tip is also covered with thick iron sheets, and behind it are more than a dozen long and thick ropes. The soldiers  By pulling the rope together, you can use the sharp wood to hit the city gate. It is so powerful that no matter how strong the city gate is, it cannot withstand its impact. It can be said to be an unparalleled weapon to destroy the city!

    "It's over, it's completely over!" Looking at these war monsters launched from the coalition formation, as well as the endless ladders, bed crossbows, and nest carts Yuan Jun on the city wall was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold. Now everyone  You know, Shouchun City cannot be defended!

    Seeing that all the siege equipment was in place, Cao Cao dismounted and threw off his red shirt. On the other side, the three brothers of the Cao family worked together to lift a huge war drum, while counselor Guo Jia held two drumsticks as thick as his arms.

    "Boom!Boom! Boom!The whole army attacks!" Among the thousands of troops, Prime Minister Cao Cao personally beat drums to cheer and issued the order for a general attack!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
