Chapter 749 Five years of soldiers and horses will be destroyed
kill!
The eyes of countless Shu troops exuded bloodthirsty light. They set up ladders, held up shields, and attacked Yiling City crazily.
"Hold it, hold it!"
The soldiers on the city wall were also furious and let out roars. They were guarding the most important barrier between Wei and Bashu.
More and more trebuchets were set up by the Shu army, and countless stones drew arcs in the sky, destroying the city walls.
On the Wei army's side, many powerful crossbows were pulled to the top of the city and they began to counterattack!
With the sound of "swish, swish, swish" of crossbows, the city began to gain some momentum.
The swarming Shu army rushed to the city without stopping. They set up ladders... Pairs of crossbowmen bent their bows and nocked arrows, shooting at the top of the city indiscriminately, so that... the defenders on the city did not dare to show their heads.
Come.
Except for the powerful crossbows at the top of the city...
The Wei army's infantry archers only dared to shoot at an elevated angle. Every moment...some Wei army or Shu army fell down. The "whoosh" sound of missing arrows and the huge rocks smashing into the city made everyone tremble.
Below the city…
The Shu army has set up camps one after another around the city, and the camp is hundreds of miles apart.
Liu Bei led a group of lieutenants to stand on the general stage and personally supervise the battle... His hands were behind his back, and his right hand kept grabbing the fingers of his left hand. This was anxiety, but also... worry!
Apparently…
Capturing Yiling City was not as easy as imagined.
But... he has been holding back for too long. He needs such a battle to vent the murderous intention in his heart!
…
A siege battle lasted from dawn to dusk.
Night was not favorable for the siege, so... the Shu army retreated.
Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, protected by the guards, arrived at the city tower again...
Zhou Yu pointed at the Shu army and saw that they were in good shape and retreating in an orderly manner. Not only did he let out a long sigh, he said with emotion: "Those who move first are not impatient, and those who follow are not afraid. In the past five years, Zhuge Liang has trained an army capable of fighting tough battles."
Heroic soldiers!"
Lu Xun turned to look at the arrow tower that was hit by a huge boulder... He felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He sighed: "It's a good thing that we moved the people of Yiling City to Jingzhou in advance. Otherwise, if this battle continues, all lives will be ruined."
."
Speaking of which…
Zhou Yu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xun, "One general's success can lead to thousands of bones drying up!" He sighed first, and then looked at Lu Xun with bright eyes, "Bo Yan, what I admire the most about you is that you can endure it when you encounter it.
Before you, I thought Lu Meng could endure it enough, but I didn’t expect you to be more tolerant than him!"
Speaking of which…
Zhou Yu turned his gaze back to the bottom of the city tower, looking at the corpses everywhere and the dilapidated city wall that had been smashed by huge rocks, and sighed: "If it were me, I would never be so tolerant!"
At this time, Lu Xun took out a letter from his arms and turned it over...so that Zhou Yu could see the words on the letter.
——Punch away to avoid heavy punches!
this…
Zhou Yu could tell that this was His Majesty's handwriting.
So...what do these ten words mean...?
Zhou Yu is a smart man, and he immediately understood His Majesty's intention.
Lu Xun spoke at the right time: "Punch away to avoid heavy blows... What your Majesty wants is determined by a battle. In this case... simply let the bones of these two hundred thousand Shu soldiers wither here and their souls return here!"
"
this…
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but admire Lu Xun's forbearance even more... "In any case, your cruelty during the war was for His Majesty's generosity in peacetime after reunification..."
Zhou Yu just blurted out his words...
"Look..." Lu Xun pointed to the enemy formation in front. "Liu Bei has stationed his army at the location we preset. More than 200,000 troops have surrounded Yiling City and are hundreds of miles apart. Just right, just right!"
this moment…
Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a few cones of light...
Zhou Yu closed his eyes slightly, as if he had anticipated everything that would happen tonight...
When he turned around, he couldn't help but look at Lu Xun one more time, and sighed in his heart: "Your Majesty's maternal clan is amazing!"
…
…
The clouds are gathering in Bashu, and the season of heavy rain is coming.
The dark clouds seemed to destroy everything in this Jianmen Pass!
——Kengkengkengkeng…
The heavy sound of the guqin resounded on the tower.
The distant accent seemed to awaken the beautiful mountains and rivers, burying all the awe-inspiring murderous aura that was about to emerge from the Jianmen Pass.
"Brother..."
With a crisp sound, the person playing the piano stopped playing the strings in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the person coming.
The visitor is Zhuge Jun...
Besides Zhuge Liang, who else can play the piano?
Except for the brief meeting when the armistice agreement was signed five years ago, the two brothers talked openly and openly at the Chibi battlefield and met in the center of the river... At that time, Zhuge Jun persuaded Zhuge Liang that with his brother's talent, he would definitely become the minister of the Wei Dynasty.
, or even become the left prime minister!
Zhuge Liang was unmoved. His answer was that Liu Shijun visited his brother in the thatched cottage three times to consult with him about the affairs of the world... So the brother wanted to give it a try and borrow Liu Shijun's hand... to see if he could cooperate with him.
A game of chess between the Marquis of Nanshou and this... then fulfilled his life's ambition!
It is precisely because of Zhuge Liang's obsession...
This gave rise to the slogan "The Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not at peace" that supported Liu Beijun's belief!
"Brother Jun..." Zhuge Liang stood up slowly, "In the middle of the Chibi River, you tried to persuade my brother to defect to Wei. How did my brother answer you? Do you still remember?"
Zhuge Jun blurted out: "Brother said, maybe Jiangdong can't stop the Wei Dynasty from going south, but...at least, brother should maintain the last arrogance of a scholar, and try to play a game of chess with Nanshou Hou! Fang will live up to it.
Learned!"
"At that time, he... was still the Nanshou Hou of the Han Dynasty!" Zhuge Liang sighed... His eyes looked to the sky. "Now, he is the monarch of the Wei Dynasty, and the real Han Dynasty no longer exists."
In just a few years...the world has changed.
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang added: "That time, I told my brother that you are the most promising of the Zhuge family, and the responsibility for the revival of the Zhuge family in the future will also be placed on you!"
"Brother..." Zhuge Jun sighed "Alas": "I came to see brother this time, not for anything else, but to inform him about something."
"What's going on?" Zhuge Liang asked quickly.
"If...Liu Xuande dies in Yiling, then...the Prime Minister will be a 'powerful master' to Bashu!"
this…
Zhuge Liang never imagined that when his third brother came here, he would say such "wild words"?
"Third brother...Whether you are an envoy to Wei or a member of my Zhuge family, you should not say these things..."
"Second brother!" Zhuge Jun spoke more and more earnestly, "I just came here to tell second brother that there is not much time left for you. Liu Xuande will die in Yiling! Second brother must make plans early!"
"You are so presumptuous..." Zhuge Liang pointed at Zhuge Jun and said loudly.
Who would have thought that the two brothers, who originally looked like brothers and respectful brothers... just because of one word, the atmosphere here became cold.
Extraordinarily cold…
"Second brother...Have you seen this artillery? It can blast tens of thousands of people into pieces overnight..." Zhuge Jun continued, but his words became serious, "But in fact, the artillery is not considered a killing weapon for the Wei Dynasty at all."
The most powerful weapon, Your Majesty wants to defeat Liu Xuande... It's too... too simple. Whether my brother believes it or not, Liu Xuande will definitely die in Yiling! No one can change this!"
this…
Artillery...the artillery that turned around the situation in Micang Road overnight and killed tens of thousands of Shu troops in Micang Road was actually...not the strongest weapon of the Wei Dynasty?
So...what else? What else?
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jun in disbelief...
He opened his mouth, but it seemed as if he was mumbling, and his throat was choked, and he didn't know how to speak.
"Second brother, Prime Minister Ji Han..." Zhuge Jun raised his voice even more, "Wake up, wake up... How can the Shu Han fight against the Wei Dynasty? How can the second brother compare with His Majesty? Can this battle be fought? This battle can be fought?
Is there any war to be fought?"
call…
At this time, Zhuge Liang felt his heart ached.
The third brother was like adding salt to his wounds...
"This round..." Zhuge Liang's tone was hoarse, "This round... the winner has not yet been decided! Brother Jun, I'm sorry Brother Yu is busy with official duties and can't keep you for a long time... After leaving Jianmen Pass, what methods can Brother Jun have, then Cao
If you have any tricks at your disposal, let the horse come over... let the horse come over!"
Zhuge Liang seemed to have exhausted all his strength...his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
Zhuge Jun wants to say something else...
In the end, I swallowed everything I wanted to say.
"Second brother, foolish brother has resigned!"
As he spoke, Zhuge Jun bowed his hands and slowly retreated.
Zhuge Liang was left with his eyes closed tightly, and the drizzle was falling... The dripping raindrops brushed against his face, making it particularly cold.
Watching the third brother walk out of the gate of Jianmen Pass...
Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something.
"Your Majesty...Where are your Majesty's formation plans and camp plans for the Eastern Expedition? Get them...get them quickly..."
…
…
Jianmenguan, in a government office.
Zhuge Liang was stunned as if he was possessed by a demon. He witnessed the formation map of Liu Bei's siege of Yiling drawn by his confidants...
A messenger reported truthfully, "Your Majesty has ordered 250,000 soldiers from the three armies to surround Yiling City, covering a distance of more than 100 miles... and stationed more than 40 villages, all close to mountains and streams, some living among lush forests, and some living on rocks.
On top of the piles…some live in open plains.”

Zhuge Liang listened and continued to look at the formation diagram...
The messenger continued: "Just in case, His Majesty also ordered the flying ball to hang high in the air, and pay close attention to the nearby movements. If the enemy has a surprise attack, if there is a large army rushing to rescue, he can deploy his defenses as soon as possible... Even if Yiling has
Your Majesty can detect and spy on the Wei army's artillery immediately...and make specific responses."
It seems...Liu Bei's formation is already foolproof.
Zhuge Liang couldn't see the problem at first glance...
But...but what Zhuge Jun said today was too serious.
It's so vivid in my mind... just like Liu Bei's fall in Yiling is already vivid in my mind, vividly before my eyes.
Zhuge Liang didn't dare to be careless, he still watched it over and over... asking questions one after another from time to time.
"Your Majesty launched a large-scale attack on the city. Is there anything unusual about the Wei army?"
this…
The messenger shook his head, "It seems that there is nothing unusual. He did not even use artillery. His majesty's catapults were allowed to rise. During the siege, countless boulders weighed down the Wei army so hard that they could hardly lift their heads. If they continue like this... they will capture the Yi army.
The mausoleum should be a matter of time."
"How long did it take you to get here from Yiling?" Zhuge Liang asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
"Three days..."
"Three days..." Zhuge Liang's eyes narrowed, and he was thinking carefully about what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in Yiling City.
"Your Majesty has been married hundreds of miles away, but what about the surrounding farms? Where are the people in the farms? Where are they?"
"Reporting back to the Prime Minister, it seems that... the Wei army adopted a strong wall and cleared the country. There are no common people in the entire surrounding farms, and there is not even food."
this…
Zhuge Liang suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, no!"
Wei Yan, who had listened to the conversation between Zhuge Liang and the messenger, took a step forward and said, "What's wrong? Isn't this the same thing? Then Cao Yu focused his attack on the Shu Road, and the man stationed at Yiling was just a young boy?
Lu Xun? A young boy who is still young, what kind of army can he command?"
"Yun Chang lost his life because he underestimated the enemy!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his voice, and his eyes tightened...
"Can…"
Wei Yan still wanted to speak, but was interrupted again by Zhuge Liang, "It's because there is no problem at all. This is the biggest problem...the biggest flaw!"
"Where?" Zhuge Liang paced around, his eyes scanning the positions of Liu Bei's garrison. The jungle was afraid of fire, the shoals were afraid of flooding, the hillsides were afraid of landslides, mudflows...etc...
Suddenly, Zhuge Liang noticed something.
"It's underground... If Cao Yu wants to attack indiscriminately and with great power, it must be underground... It's underground!"
"Underground?" Wei Yan was dumbfounded. He suspected that Zhuge Liang was stupid... "How could it be underground? The Wei army used to rely on flying balls to descend from the sky. This is understandable, but from the underground? How to come out? Drill out?"
"It's not a human being..." Zhuge Liang seemed to realize something, "If... if it's similar to that artillery, it can be buried underground, and just wait for His Majesty's entire army to fall into the predetermined position, then... then it's over!"
At this moment, Zhuge Liang realized that he had seen through everything.
But so what?
It’s over…it’s over!
He looked at the topographic map in his hand and murmured helplessly: "It's too close. His Majesty's garrison is too close to Yiling. To clear the country... Lu Xun never built the wall to clear the country. He just transported the people away for the purpose of...
There’s something that can explode buried underground!”
"The power of artillery... we have all witnessed it, but now... this power is going to... cover your Majesty, it will cover 250,000 Shu army soldiers. Your Majesty will be defeated... Your Majesty will be defeated, and our dynasty will be exhausted.
…The energy is gone!”
Ah...ah...
Wei Yan's eyes widened, "Is the Prime Minister... worried too much?"
"Worrying too much?" Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Do you think our opponent is Lu Xun? No... our opponent has always been Cao Yu! It is Yinlin who helped Cao Cao establish the foundation of the Wei Dynasty... I'm afraid, he will do it
It's... more terrifying than I thought, he is going to destroy Shu Han in one fell swoop!"
"Moreover, how can there be any reason to garrison hundreds of miles to occupy the enemy? Once this explodes, hundreds of miles of camps will be hundreds of miles of fire, and the lives will be destroyed... It's... the souls will return..."
Finally... Zhuge Liang could no longer speak...
He seemed to have predicted the outcome of the Battle of Yiling. Your Majesty... Your Majesty of Shu Han... I'm afraid... I'm afraid...
"Wei Yan..."
"The end is here!"
"You rush to Yiling to see His Majesty at starry night and tell him that the garrison must not get too close to Yiling. Immediately move the three armies to the outside...to places where there are villages and people. If you wait too late, there will be no rescue!"
"Prime Minister..." Wei Yan rubbed his head, "But... from here to Yiling, it's seven hundred miles, no matter how fast it is, it will only take three days! These three days... what if it turns out to be what the Prime Minister expected?
"
"What I'm worried about..." Zhuge Liang was trembling all over, "Maybe... at this moment... the explosion has... already started. If so, the soldiers and horses we have trained for five years... will... be destroyed.
