The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 312
Cao Cao's arrival was not unpleasant, and he sent Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry as the vanguard, and sent troops from three sides to help Sun Quan break the siege.

On the one hand is Cao Ren from Hefei, leading Li Dian and Le Jin to attack Wancheng; Quickly rushing to the north bank of the Yangtze River not only put pressure on Zhang Wu, but also gave Lu Su confidence.

Cao Cao personally led the main force to the south from Shouchun, looking for an opportunity to wipe out the main force of the Jingzhou army.

But Zhang Wu's countermeasures made Cao Cao unable to understand.

He actually withdrew the troops in Wancheng and completely abandoned the Lujiang River. He also sent away the Jingzhou navy on the Moling battlefield to guard the important cities along the Yangtze River.

Now the Jingzhou army outside Moling City is less than [-], how can this force attack the city?Sun Quan is still watching not far away!
Did he give up all of Jiangbei's territory?

Does he intend to attack the city again?

But in this way, although Cao Cao can completely occupy Lujiang County, he dare not cross the river!

Cao Cao said: "Gongda knows what Zhang Wu intends to do with this move? Did he give up capturing Moling?"

Xun You was also a little confused. Normally, Zhang Wu should try harder before Cao Cao's army came, and attack with all his strength. If he can attack, he will be invincible.

If you can't attack, you have to withdraw your troops. Otherwise, the army has been fighting for so long, and so many people have died in the attack, and the morale will definitely drop before the attack. risk of collapse.

But Zhang Wu neither attacked the city nor withdrew his troops. Instead, he divided his troops to guard the rear, which meant a long-term confrontation.

"Could it be that he wants to block our army with a big river, and then besiege Moling until the city runs out of food and chaos?" Xun You said.

Cheng Yu said, "I don't think it's possible. In the ten years since Zhang Wu's rise, he won every battle. He doesn't look like someone who doesn't know how to fight. Besides, he also has two major military divisions under his command, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang. Gan Ning, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals, how can they not know that it is a big taboo for military strategists to look forward and backward. I think there must be some kind of conspiracy in him to do so."

"Conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy?" Cao Cao couldn't figure it out. Although Zhang Wu could control the waterway of the Yangtze River and keep Cao Jun on the north bank by doing so, he also couldn't take Moling.

Now that Zhang Wu is far away from Jingzhou, and his military strength is not superior, how long can he besiege Moling?

In any case, Cao Cao led the army to put pressure on Zhang Wu so that he would not attack Moling with all his strength, and now the effect has been achieved.

As long as Moling is not lost, Jiangdong can still guard the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, keep in touch with Cao Cao, and play a role in containing Jingzhou.

Zhang Wu has not ordered to attack the city these days, but in addition to ordering the navy to patrol the Yangtze River, he also ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to be ready to enter the city.Originally, he wanted to take advantage of these few days to dig a tunnel at night directly under the city wall of Moling, so that he could bury explosives.

However, the water in the ground beside the river is too high to dig tunnels.

When Cao Cao led the main force to Liyang on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Zhang Wu finally waited for the gunpowder brought by Xing Daorong.

The gunpowder was packed in wooden barrels one by one, and Zhang Wu carefully moved it off the ship and sent it to a heavily guarded place in the barracks, where Zhang Wu will make these gunpowder into explosive bags.

Since it is impossible to dig a tunnel, they can only send people to rush to dig a hole under the city wall.

In order to cover his real purpose, Zhang Wu suddenly gathered all his soldiers in the south of the city that day and launched a violent siege.

The Jingzhou army assembled [-] crossbowmen and formed three square formations outside the city, shooting arrows at the city wall non-stop to cover the soldiers rushing to dig holes under the city wall.

After more than 20 years of arduous defense of the city, there are now less than [-] soldiers in Moling City, and those who were shot by the [-] crossbowmen outside the city dare not show their heads.The arrows were shooting towards the city like it was raining, Lu Su was not only not worried, but rather happy.

Because the defenders in the city have long used up their arrows, and now the defenders are demolishing the houses in the city and using the stones and wood blocks they can get as weapons.Now the Jingzhou army actually sent him so many arrows, it's really great.

The rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun can't actually kill a few people. As long as you start sending troops to attack the city, you must not be able to shoot arrows anymore, right?Can you still shoot your own soldiers to death?
Therefore, when the Jiangdong soldiers in the city found that there were Jingzhou soldiers pushing the car towards the city wall, they were not in a hurry. It would not be too late for me to fight back when you started climbing the wall. Now whoever takes the lead will die.

However, the Jiangdong army waited and waited and did not see the Jingzhou soldiers climbing the wall to attack the city. Under such fierce firepower, they did not dare to stretch their heads to look, but the Jiangdong soldiers were waiting anxiously. It was the first time that they expected the Jingzhou soldiers to start attacking quickly city.

But when the Jingzhou army stopped shooting arrows, they still did not attack the city. Some Jiangdong soldiers who couldn't hold back secretly looked out and found that the Jingzhou army had all retreated.

What the hell is going on here?After shooting arrows for a long time, but in the end he didn't attack the city. Could it be that Zhang Wu's brain was flooded?Just to send arrows to yourself?During this half day's effort, the Jingzhou army shot almost [-] arrows.

What Lu Su and Jiangdong soldiers didn't know was that a big hole had been dug under the south city wall at this moment, and the hole was filled with sackcloth bags, which contained very dangerous things.

After all the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army had withdrawn, Zhang Wu asked everyone to cover their ears, and then ordered to release arrows, this time rockets, aiming at the big pit under the city wall.

After releasing the arrow, the archer also followed the prior order, threw the bow on the ground quickly, and then covered his ears vigorously.

Although they didn't know why they did this, since the lord had an order, they just had to execute it.

Lu Su and the Jiangdong generals were also very confused, what is Zhang Wu going to do?Are you going to burn down Moling City with rockets?The kerosene bombs they fired in a few days ago did not burn Moling City to nothingness, so what are these rockets!
But what happened next was unforgettable for everyone present. Of course, this only refers to those who can survive.

Following Zhang Wu's order, hundreds of rockets flew towards Moling City, but this time they did not fly towards the city wall.As if the archers of the Jingzhou army couldn't draw their bows without eating, the rockets flew to the bottom of the city wall.

While everyone was wondering, a dazzling flash of light suddenly flashed, and then a loud noise shook the heavens and the earth, like an ancient giant thunder, which was about to blow up the world, even the soldiers of the Jingzhou army who covered their ears were shocked The shock is still undecided.Then there was a shaking, and many people couldn't stand up and fell to the ground.

And the south wall of Moling City has disappeared. There is a huge opening in the middle, and the two sides have also collapsed. There is still a big hole under the big opening in the middle.

The generals of the Jiangdong Army would never have thought that such a thing would happen. The soldiers on the city wall were blown to pieces. The bodies are gone.

Jiangdong soldiers suffered heavy casualties, some were killed by bombing, some were crushed to death by the collapsed city walls, and some were killed by flying bricks and stones.Those who survived the shock also vomited blood and were seriously injured, some were deafened, and some were stunned.

Lu Su was really stunned this time, because he couldn't hear any other sounds except for the strong "humming" in his ears now, and even the soldiers who were injured by flying stones in front of him and beside him were lying on the ground. No wailing could be heard.

He looked at the south city wall that suddenly disappeared, his eyes were blank, as if his soul had been shaken away by that loud noise.
