The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 36 Artillery Siege, Surrender Without Fighting!

"My lord, then this time we will send troops..." Bai Qi stepped forward, hesitant to speak.

"This time I will lead [-] soldiers to march in person. General Bai, you are in charge of Kuaiji City, so as to prevent Sun Ce and Shi Xie from marching into our land!" Liu Bian said.

The reason why he wants to personally conscript is mainly because he needs to sign in and get a chance to draw a lottery, otherwise he really is too lazy to go out. At this time, it is not as good as modern times, and neither the carriage nor the horse is very comfortable!

"Your Majesty, no!" Liu Yao immediately disagreed.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again!" Liu Bian said decisively, without the slightest room for maneuver.

Seeing this, Liu Yao didn't dare to say anything more, turned his head and glanced at Huo Qubing, and said decisively: "Then General Huo must lead five thousand dragon riders to protect His Majesty, otherwise I will splatter the spot with blood to show my will!"

"..."

Usually this kind of plot has been read in books, but this time it is really about to meet, Liu Bian lost his mind for a while.

He had always put Wei Zheng in Yizhou because he was afraid that something like this would happen. Unexpectedly, he took all precautions, but it still happened.

"Since Liu Qing is so determined, then I agree!" Liu Bian was reluctant, but Shan didn't care.

These five thousand cavalry may have a miraculous effect!
"Let's go, General Lu will come with me!" he continued.

"Obey!" Lu Bu said hastily.

"Your Majesty, I..." Seeing that Liu Yao was about to call for a fight, Liu Bian immediately retorted: "Liu Qing, you are not in good health, and it is not easy for you to travel long distances, so you should take a good rest here in Kuaiji City! When you recover from your illness, you will have a good rest in the future." I will entrust you with a heavy responsibility!"

"..." At this point, Liu Yao couldn't say anything, so he nodded in agreement.

The army was mobilized, and soon Liu Bian led [-] troops and [-] dragon riders to march towards Sun Ce's territory, while Zheng Chenggong led five chain boats, five wheel boats, and five eagle boats each to go north along the coast. If you take Sun Ce's northern territory, you will be able to meet him near Lujiang City on the Yangtze River.

After passing through Sun Ce's territory, the first thing to capture was a city named Xin'an. Because Sun Ce had already set up a secret sentry on the border, when Liu Bian's army moved forward, the news quickly spread to Xin'an City.

On this day, Liu Bian didn't hide any more, and directly [-] troops approached the city, looking at each other from afar.

It's just that the gates of Xin'an City are closed tightly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"My lord, I would like to be the first to fight!"

Knowing that the lord Liu Bian had not let go of his guard against him, Lu Bu was very anxious, so at this moment, he stepped forward to ask for a fight immediately.

After all, it was the first battle, and it was about morale, so Liu Bian nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"

Lu Bu didn't say a word, and immediately rode his horse and galloped until the city of Xin'an.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, the young emperor is here, why don't you come down and kneel down?" Lv Bu reprimanded Fang Tian's halberd in his hand.

"..."

There was silence on the city wall, and no one responded for a long time.

"Heh... the rebellious ministers and thieves are now shrinking heads. Is that what your goddamn lord Sun Ce called you?" Lu Bu began to yell, otherwise, depending on the situation, the people inside would not come out to fight.

At this time, the prefect of Xin'an in Xin'an City was at a loss under the city wall.

"This, this, this... what should I do? I don't know when the lord will reply and send reinforcements?"

"Master Taishou, I think we should stay behind closed doors, right? This Lu Bu is the second most powerful general on the list. Even if we go out to challenge him, we will be dead ends!" someone nearby advised.

"..."

This Xin'an City is not considered to be an important place. There are no more than a thousand defenders inside. Going out is tantamount to seeking death, and there are no famous generals guarding it, so it is the best choice not to go out.

"Prefect of Xin'an, you gray-bearded old thief, why don't you come out and fight?"

Still no one came out to fight for so long, Lu Bu became a little annoyed, and the Chitu under his crotch also became irritable.

"..."

But no matter how rude he was, the people in Xin'an City stayed behind closed doors, not even a person with a probe on the city wall could see it.

"Ah~" Lu Bu shouted dryly, seeing that there was still no movement, he sighed and returned to his camp.

"My lord, this subordinate is incompetent!" He cupped his fists and said to Liu Bian.

Liu Bian raised his hand and said, "What does this have to do with you? Since they want to stay behind closed doors, let's drive ten cannons first!"

As soon as these words came out, someone quickly brought out ten cannons and aimed them at the Xin'an city wall.

"Fire!"

Following Liu Bian's order, ten cannons fired in unison.

"boom!!!"

"boom!!"

"Attention, only blast the city walls, and don't let the shells enter the city, hurting innocent people!"

What are the people in the city doing wrong?

Liu Bian hurriedly ordered, and the people below responded quickly.

"boom!!"

"boom!!!"

At this time, the Xin'an City could be said to be shaking. Although the people in the city were not injured, they were already frightened and started running around. The city was in chaos for a while.

"Master Taishou, what should I do? The city gate in front is about to be flattened!" A general came to report.

"What? What is this thing that is so powerful?" The prefect of Xin'an held his head with a look of panic, because he had never seen such a thing before.

"I heard that they used this kind of thing to blow down a city tower as a warning to my lord. Lujiang City was also warned like this. It should be that thing!" The person next to him explained.

"What should we do if we continue like this? I'm afraid we won't be able to last even a day!" The prefect of Xin'an was already scared, and he didn't dare to fight. Now that the opponent's weapons are so powerful, he has lost the courage to dare to go out of the city to fight.

"Master Taishou, the current strategy is to leave the city and surrender, right?"

"This..." The prefect of Xin'an was a little hesitant, "If I do this, won't I become a villain who is following others?"

"Why do you say this, Lord Taishou? That person from Yizhou is the Young Emperor, the legitimate emperor of the Han Dynasty. By surrendering to them, we are also showing our loyalty to the Han Dynasty!"

At this time, the two rounds of twenty shells ended, and Xin'an City gradually became quiet.

"In that case..." the prefect of Xin'an gritted his teeth. Anyway, he couldn't defend by force. It would be foolish to run away, and where would he go?

If the lord of his family knew that he had abandoned the city and fled, there would probably be nothing good to eat!
After thinking over and over again, the prefect of Xin'an gritted his teeth and said to the generals defending the city, "Open the city gate!"

"grown ups……"

Someone hesitated.

"Uh……"

Before the man could speak, he was stabbed to death by the person who kept urging Xin'an prefect to surrender, "In the current situation, don't hold back any longer. Only by surrendering can you survive. Open the door!"

In the astonishment of everyone, he spoke again, the prefect of Xin'an City was stunned on the spot, and the other soldiers saw that the leader was dead, so they rushed to do it.

In fact, this person was the internal intelligence sent by Liu Bian early, and the time was not short.

He more or less let the people trained by Bai Qi infiltrate several nearby cities. Knowing this situation at this time, Liu Bian ordered people to fire twenty cannons to threaten to stop the bombardment.
