Cao Mao under the city heard Zhuge Liang's scolding, and put down his wine glass.

He raised his head slightly, and said with a loud smile,
"Since Liu Paopao asked Gu to attack the city, why doesn't Gu follow your wishes?"

Although it was a hundred steps away, Cao Mao's voice was clearly heard by Liu Bei and the others.

Liu Bei's heart sank.

He was just angry and sprayed Cao Mao, but he didn't want Cao Mao to attack the city!

Cao Mao waved his hand casually.

Standing behind him, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry quickly took orders and left.

After a while, Sergeant Cao's stroke diverted a path, and a chariot was slowly pushed out.

And the one on the chariot is the red cannon that showed its might earlier!
Seeing this situation, there was a trace of anxiety in Liu Bei's eyes!
Zhuge Liang on the side noticed his expression, and comforted him in a low voice,

"My lord, don't worry. Although the red-clothed cannon is powerful, the city of Xiangyang is solid. Cao Mao's plan to attack the city with a few cannons is simply a dream come true!"

Before Liu Bei could respond, Zhang Fei's eyes widened, with a look of shock on his face.

"Military division, what if... what if Cao Mao has hundreds of cannons?!"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards Cao Jun outside the city, followed by a gasp!
I saw chariots loaded with red cannons pushing out of Cao Ying one after another.

Looking around, just a rough calculation, there are as many as one hundred doors!

Hundreds of cannons in red were lined up, and the black barrels were aimed at the city wall of Xiangyang.

Liu Bei on the city wall suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and almost ran away!
Although Zhuge Liang and others on the side pretended to be calm, they were also a little apprehensive!
In the last battle in Ye County, Cao Mao only took out ten red cannons!
But now, like a juggler, he pulled out nearly a hundred doors all at once!
This is too generous!
Before Liu Bei and others on the city wall made a move, Cao Jun's artillery outside the city also began to perform.

"put!"

Zhao Yun shouted loudly!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

A hundred red-clothed cannons ignited in unison and roared!
Although the last time in Ye County, Cao Mao used ten red cannons to fire a salvo.

But after all, there are only ten doors.

But now there are as many as a hundred doors, which can be regarded as the first artillery coverage in human history!

I saw flames splashing and smoke swirling around.

The violent roar was earth-shattering, and even gave people a feeling that the world was about to collapse!

Just from the momentum alone, Liu Bei's army was frightened into panic.

In the next second, those heavy shells hit over!

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of dull crashing sounds came from the city wall under Liu Bei's feet.

Rao even Xiangyang's city walls are tall, thick and hard, but under the salvo of hundreds of cannons, they are still trembling.

As a result, the defenders on the city wall were a little unstable and almost fell.

Most of the shells hit the city wall.

But there are still a small number of them flying past the city wall.

Those battlements were smashed to pieces, and the soldiers behind were also killed by shells on the spot!

Under Zhao Yun's deliberate order, several artillery pieces were aimed at the gate tower.

Just listening to the sound of "哗啦", the tall and majestic city gate tower was instantly reduced to ruins.

"Master, be careful!"

"Big brother!"

Zhang Fei, Sun Qian and others were taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Liu Bei to a safe place!

"Reload!"

Zhao Yun shouted again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Jun's artillerymen quickly cleaned the barrels and reloaded the shells.

After the violent roar, there was a rare moment of silence on the battlefield.

The disheveled Liu Bei struggled to stand up, and looked at the city wall under his feet with a look of horror on his face!

I saw that the Xiangyang City Wall, which was comparable to Luoyang and Chang'an, was already riddled with holes in the bombardment just now!
Even the blue bricks in some places were smashed, exposing the rammed earth inside!

It was just a salvo!
No matter how strong Xiangyang's city wall is, if Cao Jun continues to bombard it, it will never last long!

Liu Bei raised his head and stared at Zhuge Liang in a daze.

But Zhuge Liang also looked shocked, not knowing what to say.

The power of these cannons has really surpassed the cognition of the two of them!
For a while, the two looked at each other speechlessly!

At this moment, Liu Feng on the side exclaimed,
"Father, military advisor, Cao Jun is about to bombard again!"

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others looked over subconsciously.

as predicted.

Cao Jun's soldiers have completed loading and are undergoing debugging.

It seems that the next round of bombardment may start at any time!

"withdraw!"

Without even thinking about it, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said,

"The city walls cannot be defended!"

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched, his voice hoarse and authentic,
"withdraw……"

Liu Feng on the side set up Liu Bei, and quickly ran towards the stairs behind the city wall.

Zhuge Liang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and the others quickly followed behind them without any hesitation.

Just as they walked up the stairs, Cao Jun's second round of artillery strikes had already arrived.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was another earth-shattering roar.

In front of the epoch-making firearms, the city wall of Xiangyang groaned like a little girl about to be conquered.

Liu Bei and his party, who were stumbling around, finally got off the city wall and returned to their residence.

"Wait... do you have any plans?"

Liu Bei took a sip of tea, suppressed the panic in his heart, and asked pretending to be calm.

But his hand holding the teacup was trembling constantly.

Everyone looked at each other, but they were speechless.

As the saying goes, one force will reduce ten meetings.

In front of these hundreds of red cannons, all force and tricks are useless!

Zhuge Liang paced slowly, pondered for a long time, and then said in a deep voice,
"My lord, the artillery is so powerful that it is impossible to rely on the city wall to defend it!"

"The best strategy is to abandon the northern city, retreat to the southern city, destroy the bridges, and use the Han River as a line of defense!"

They really underestimated the power of artillery before.

Now it seems that even if the city wall is twice as strong, it is not worth mentioning in front of Cao Jun's artillery!
"What the military adviser said makes sense."

"Now it seems that this is the only way."

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei only felt bitter in his mouth, and his heart was full of grief and indignation.

He originally thought that he could use Xiangyang's solid city defenses to stop Cao's army from going south.

As a result, before Cao's army entered the city, he was forced to retreat to the south bank.

What an irony!

"Forget it, just follow what the military adviser said."

Liu Bei waved his hand and ordered with a somewhat frustrated expression.

"Here."

Zhang Fei, Liu Feng, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong took orders.

They were just about to leave to arrange the retreat when suddenly the ground under their feet trembled slightly.

There was also a dull loud noise in the distance.

Liu Bei's complexion changed drastically, and he walked upstairs quickly!

The rest of them quickly followed him and went up to the second floor together.
