Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

The sun was rising.

Inside the Han camp, smoke was rising.

The soldiers were well fed, in high spirits, ready to launch a fierce attack on the enemy city.

Against the brilliant morning glow, the mighty Xiangyang cannons were slowly pushed out of the camp gate.

They gathered in the direction of Jieting City like giant dragons.

General Zhang Liao rode his horse between the camps, inspiring every soldier and ensuring that their fighting spirit was always high.

Just then.

A burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from behind, and Ma Xiu followed closely, riding his horse and reining beside Zhang Liao.

This Ma family member, who was once a captive, is now a brave general under the command of the Wei Dynasty, and he went to the Jieting front with Zhang Liao.

"General Zhang, have you really decided to attack?"

Ma Xiu asked Zhang Liao with deep concern.

"Of course, the Xiangyang artillery has been deployed, and it is imperative to bombard the city."

Zhang Liao's answer was firm, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

Ma Xiu was anxious, and rode forward, blocking Zhang Liao's horse, bowed and said earnestly:

"General Zhang, please allow me to go ahead and go to Jieting to persuade my elder brother to surrender."

"Perhaps, I can persuade him to surrender to the Han Dynasty and avoid unnecessary sacrifice."

However.

Zhang Liao's answer was still as firm as before, just like the previous times, without the slightest hesitation.

Ma Xiu was extremely anxious and bowed again to plead:

"General Zhang, please believe me. We Ma family sincerely surrender to the Han Dynasty. Please give me a chance to persuade them to surrender."

Zhang Liao waved his hand gently, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty:

"Your Majesty has no order, how can you act on your own?"

"You should withdraw. The siege cannot be delayed."

After that, Zhang Liao shook the reins, whipped the horse and left.

Ma Xiu wanted to chase, but was stopped by two Han soldiers who were waiting in battle.

He was extremely anxious, but he could do nothing. He could only watch the Han army pour out of the camp gate like a tide and rush towards Jieting City.

As the camp gate opened, Zhang Liao led the army straight to the south gate of Jieting with a sword in hand.

The sun rose from behind him, illuminating the small town with exceptional clarity.

When Zhang Liao and the generals saw the full view of Jieting City for the first time, they were all shocked and dumbfounded.

The small town in front of them seemed to have been cast into a crystal clear ice city overnight.

The ice wall shone with dazzling light in the sun, dazzling the eyes.

"What...what is going on?"

Zhang Liao was shocked and turned back to ask the generals.

The rest of the generals, including Liao Hua, all looked at each other with a change of expression.

Liao Hua's eyes turned and he suddenly realized:

"It seems that there are not only fierce generals like Ma Chao in Jieting City, but also wise counselors."

"This is the advice of this person, with the help ofIt's freezing cold, and the city wall is frozen."

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Liao finally came to his senses and couldn't help but marvel:

"There is such a wonderful strategy in the world. I didn't expect that there is such a master in Wei State!"

Changing the subject, Zhang Liao said disdainfully:

"It's just a mere ice wall. I don't believe it can really withstand our Xiangyang Cannon!"

After that, Zhang Liao raised his sword and gave an order:

"Xiangyang Cannon, blast the enemy city for me! ”

With his order, the drums roared and resounded through the sky.

The Xiangyang cannons that had been ready in front of the city fired at the deafening roar and launched a fierce bombardment on Jieting City.

The huge stone shells, carrying a tearing roar, like falling stars in the sky, launched an overwhelming bombardment on the ice city.

The sky and the earth changed color, the earth shook, and the deafening sound was deafening.

Ice chips flew everywhere, like snow flying all over the sky, covering Jieting City in silver and white.

After the first round of volleys.

Three hundred Xiangyang cannons began to bombard freely.

Countless stone shells continued to pour down, launching a violent bombardment on the South Gate area.

The battle of bombarding the city lasted for nearly half an hour, until all 8,000 stone bullets were poured out, and then it gradually stopped.

The world returned to peace, and the roar finally dissipated.

The Han army soldiers stared at the front with expectation, and the outline of Jieting City appeared clearly in front of everyone again.

At this moment, everyone's face showed an incredible look.

Jieting City still stands!

The ice wall that stretched for more than 20 feet, although covered with pits and pits, did not show any signs of collapse.

Zhang Liao exhaled, shook his head and laughed:

"Sure enough, the toughness of this ice wall is beyond my imagination. The bombardment of Xiangyang Cannon with such power only hurt the fur! ”

Ding Feng also sighed: "It seems that it is impossible for us to attack Jieting City by force. It is better to withdraw the troops for the time being and make plans after His Majesty comes in person."

Zhang Liao nodded helplessly and waved his hand:

"Order the whole army to retreat back to the camp and wait for His Majesty to come before attacking the city."

The sound of gold rang out, echoing all over the fields.

Although the Han army soldiers were unwilling, they had to follow the order and retreat to the camp in an orderly manner.

On the top of Jieting City.

More than 10,000 defenders finally dared to stick their heads out, looking at the backs of the Han army gradually going away outside the city, all of them opened their mouths in disbelief.

After a long silence, a deafening cheer broke out on the top of the city.

"The Xiangyang artillery can't do anything to our Jieting City! ”

“We have defended the city, and the Han army can’t do anything to us!”

The defending soldiers were extremely excited and shouted with joy.

Ma Chao looked at the retreating Han army, and felt relieved. He looked at Yang Fu with a smile on his face:

“Tai Shou Yang, your trick really worked. You have made a great contribution by defending Jieting!”

Yang Fu raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smug look, and said with a faint smile:

"It's just a small trick, not worth mentioning." (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Although Jieting City is temporarily safe, the enemy's real attack is still to come."

"The key is not us, but whether your majesty can succeed in the surprise attack on Yuncheng. That is the key to victory or defeat."

Ma Chao's confidence doubled, and he patted Yang Fu's shoulder and said proudly:

"I believe that your plan will be foolproof, and your majesty will definitely succeed in the surprise attack on Yunshan City!"
