Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403 It Looks True

"Boom... Boom..."

The boat sent by Zhu Wei to blast open the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City smoothly approached the water gate, and then stuffed several blasting tubes of black gunpowder bamboo poles into the iron gate fence.

As the fuse ignited the black gunpowder, the strong explosive power of the black gunpowder emerged again.

Those iron gates were shattered in an instant. After all, the iron gates used to make the gates these days cannot be carefully crafted high-quality iron, that is, ordinary miscellaneous iron, and they are only made of iron. Thickness and weight become a gate to prevent foreign enemies from entering.

Therefore, under the power of the black powder blasting tube, many iron bars were directly blown to pieces.

Even the wide and wide water gate hole with more than a hundred steps, under the impact of the black powder that exploded the door, many gaps were inevitably cracked, and the rammed earth that made up the city wall fell to the river below, sparsely scattered. Make the river water turbid.

This strong explosive force also made the river water in the city gate create waves, as if there was a strong wind blowing, stirring the river water and rolling it to the surrounding river banks.

Although there are still some iron bars left in the water gate, the experienced Zhu Weijun quickly sailed past again, and bent and smashed the remaining iron bars with the prepared hammer, opening the way for the passage of subsequent ships. safe passage.

Of course, the power of blasting the water gate also made Liu Biao's soldiers controlled by the Kuai family on the Xiangyang city wall panic.

Many people were running around on the city wall, thinking that it was a natural disaster such as the earth dragon turning over, and some people seemed to know that it was the trick of Zhu Wei's army, and the bold ones even stuck their heads out to watch Shuimen.

For a while, the entire water gate area became a little chaotic.

Although they were restrained from counterattacking Zhu Wei's army, it could be seen that they were still a little uneasy when they saw the original enemy attacking like this. On the one hand, they felt a little guilty for their side's betrayal, and on the other hand, they seemed to be faintly grateful. Fortunately they surrendered, otherwise they would not have known how to stop Zhu Wei's army from using such strange methods.

At the same time, they were still a little worried in their hearts, wondering how Zhu Wei's army would deal with them, and whether they would directly confront them with swords after entering the city.

At this time, Kuai Liang was standing on a restaurant pavilion about thousands of steps away from the water gate, watching the situation on the water gate from a distance, his expression twitched unavoidably, he was still a little hesitant, It seems to be a little more firm.

As the Shuimen side was blown open, more than a dozen troop-carrying river ships headed by Zhu Wei as the vanguard had already sailed in from the waterway on the Fancheng side toward Xiangyang City.

The person in charge of the vanguard general in this river ship is Ling Cao, who is good at water warfare. There are also more than a thousand selected elite Xiong Ba battalions on these more than ten troop transport river ships, including [-] sword shield bearers, [-] crossbow archers, and more. Several military princes with good martial arts accompanied him.

Holding a saber and shield in his hands, Ling Cao stood on the front of the river boat and shouted, "Kill, take Xiangyang, kill!"

Soon these more than a dozen vanguard riverboats rushed into the water gate of Xiangyang City under the oars of some auxiliary soldiers. Liu Biao's soldiers controlled by the Kuai family on the water gate wall still did not make any defensive attacks.

Not far along the river from Shuimen, you are already on the river bank close to the city wall of Shuimen.

Kuai Liang obviously didn't respect Liu Biao's military order, and built some barriers at the inner river of Shuimen, so the river channel leading from Shuimen to the city was very smooth.

Within the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City, many places around it are barren weeds. There are not many residential houses here. Only on both sides of the river bank more than a thousand steps away from the water gate, there seem to be some wharf warehouses. There are some restaurant-like buildings.

Obviously, this is a relatively remote place in Xiangyang City, not a bustling main city area, at most it is a warehouse area with some ships loading and unloading goods.

There seem to be some hills and woods not far away. The surrounding environment looks similar to the suburbs outside the city. From this, it can be seen that the newly expanded Xiangyang City is quite huge. It is so huge that many places in the city are still An empty space without belonging.

Of course, after Liu Biao rebuilt and expanded Xiangyang City, although a lot of people migrated from the surrounding areas, after all, it was only used by Liu Biao for a few years, so the population is still not as large as the future Xiangyang City.

After Ling Cao led his people ashore from the ship, they quickly formed two dense shield arrays and rushed towards a slope leading to the city wall, preparing to control the city gate tower as soon as possible.

At this time, Ling Cao could also see Liu Biao's soldiers on the city gate looking at him with complicated expressions, as if they didn't even pick up the weapons in their hands.

Perhaps it is possible to receive the water gate in the north of Xiangyang City without fighting, and then follow the military order assigned by the military division.

However, Ling Cao still didn't dare to relax his guard until safety was ensured. He just carefully led his troops towards the gate tower and city wall of the water gate. Who knows if there is a gate on the water gate that can be landed, blocking the water gate, and making Zhu Weijun who entered the water gate lose their retreat.

However, as the water gate was blown open, after Ling Cao led his troops into the water gate, Zhu Wei, who stayed on the south gate of Fancheng, was relieved when he saw the glowing light on the Three Kingdoms game map.

At this moment, on the map of the Three Kingdoms game system, the soldiers of Liu Biao who were originally on the wall of the water gate in Xiangyang City are all lighted up with a light green luster, indicating that they are already on Zhu Wei's side. It seems that the Kuai family is sincerely surrendering this time , and did not play any conspiracy.

So Zhu Wei also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Wang Yuyan on the side, "It seems that the Kuai family has really surrendered. Let's go to Xiangyang with the army. I guess Liu Biao also heard the news here, and the next step is to capture this city." It’s a city!”

"Well, without the shell of Xiangyang City Wall, Liu Biao is just a shelled prawn! Send an order to send troops!"

Wang Yuyan listened to Zhu Wei's words and saw that Zhu Wei seemed to be looking at something in the void. She believed Zhu Wei's judgment, so she ordered the soldiers on the side to beat the war drums and formally ordered the attack on the city with great fanfare.

Following a burst of orders, the chain river boats that had been prepared, supported by some auxiliary soldiers driving the boats with pennies, quickly sailed towards Xiangyang City.

The soldiers of Xiong Ba camp, who had also lined up in Fancheng, under the leadership of Pang Yan and other generals and officers, boarded the river boat pontoon and poured into Xiangyang City.

In this way, Zhu Wei's tens of thousands of troops marched along the pontoon bridge, and soon entered the city of Xiangyang. Then, according to Wang Yuyan's plan in advance, the army began to act according to their respective tasks...
