Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 756

kill!

The bloodthirsty light radiated from the eyes of countless Shu soldiers. They set up ladders and held up shields, and they were madly attacking Yiling City.

"Hold it, hold it!"

The soldiers on the city wall were also red-eyed and let out a long cry. They were guarding the most important barrier between Wei and Bashu.

More and more catapults were set up by the Shu army, and countless stones drew arcs in the sky, destroying the city wall.

On Wei Jun's side, many strong crossbows were pulled to the top of the city and began to fight back!
With the sound of "swish swish" crossbows, the top of the city also began to gain some momentum.

The swarming Shu army rushed to the bottom of the city without stopping. They set up ladders... A pair of crossbowmen bent their bows and set arrows, and shot at the top of the city, so that...the defenders on the city did not dare to show their heads Come.

In addition to the strong crossbow at the top of the city...

The archers of the Wei army only dared to shoot at an angle of elevation. Every moment...some Wei army or Shu army fell down. The sound of the arrows "swish" and the boulders smashed into the city made everyone tremble.

Under the city...

The Shu army has set up camps around the city, and they have joined forces for hundreds of miles.

Liu Bei led a group of lieutenants to stand on the general platform to personally supervise the battle...His hands were behind his back, and his right hand kept grasping the fingers of his left hand. This was anxiety, and it was also...worry!
Apparently...

Conquering Yiling City was not as easy as imagined.

But...he has endured it for too long, he needs such a battle to vent his murderous intent!
...

A siege battle lasted from dawn to dusk.

The night is not good for the attackers, so... the Shu army retreated.

Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, under the protection of the guards, arrived on the tower again...

Zhou Yu pointed at the Shu army and saw that their army was neat and tidy, and they retreated in an orderly manner. Not only did he sigh a long breath, he said with emotion: "The first mover is not rash, and the latter is not afraid. Zhuge Liang has trained a team capable of fighting tough battles in the past five years. Heroes!"

Lu Xun turned his head to look at the arrow tower that was hit by the boulder... He couldn't help but sighed, and he said with emotion: "It's thanks to us that we moved the people of Yiling City to Jingzhou in advance, otherwise, if this battle goes on, people will be ruined." .”

Speaking of which...

Zhou Yu suddenly raised his eyes to look at Lu Xun, "If you succeed in everything, your bones will be exhausted!" He first sighed with emotion, and then looked at Lu Xun with piercing eyes, "Bo Yan, what I admire most about you is your ability to endure. Before you, I thought that Lu Meng could bear it, but I didn't expect you to be more tolerant than him!"

Speaking of here…

Zhou Yu turned his eyes back to the city tower, looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground, looked at the dilapidated city wall that was hit by huge boulders, and said with emotion: "If I were me, I would definitely not be so tolerant!"

At this moment, Lu Xun took out a letter from his pocket, and he turned it over...so that Zhou Yu could see the words on the letter.

——Punch away with one punch, so as not to punch hard!

This…

Zhou Yu could tell that this was His Majesty's handwriting.

So... the meaning of these ten words... is that?
Zhou Yu is a smart man, he immediately understood His Majesty's intention.

Lu Xun said at the right time: "Keep a punch, so as not to punch hard... What your majesty wants depends on the first battle. If that's the case... simply let the bones of these two 10,000+ Shu troops die here, and their souls return here!"

This…

Zhou Yu was silent for a while, and couldn't help admiring Lu Xun's forbearance even more... "In any case, your cruelty in wartime is for the sake of your majesty's benevolence in peacetime after the unification..."

Zhou Yu's words just blurted out...

"Look..." Lu Xun pointed to the enemy formation ahead. "Liu Bei has already stationed his army at the place we preset. More than 20 troops have surrounded Yiling City in groups, and they have joined forces for hundreds of miles. It's just right, just right!"

this moment…

Lu Xun's eyes flickered a little...

Zhou Yu closed her eyes slightly, as if she had anticipated everything that would happen tonight...

When he turned around, he couldn't help but look at Lu Xun again, feeling in his heart: "Your Majesty's mother clan is amazing!"

...

...

Bashu is overcast and cloudy, and the season of heavy rain is coming.

A dark cloud seemed to destroy everything in this Jianmen Pass!
——Keng Keng Keng...

The thick sound of guqin played on the tower.

The distant accent seems to awaken the beautiful mountains and rivers, and completely bury the awe-inspiring murderous aura that is about to emerge from the gate of Jianmen.

"Brother..."

With a crisp sound, the person playing the piano stopped the strings in his hand, and looked up at the person coming.

The person here is Zhuge Jun...

Besides Zhuge Liang, who else can play the piano?

Except for the brief encounter that concluded the armistice agreement five years ago, the two brothers had an open heart and talk. They still met in the Red Cliff Battlefield and Jiangxin... At that time, Zhuge Jun advised Zhuge Liang that with his elder brother's talent, he would definitely become the Minister of the Great Wei. , And even became the prime minister!

Zhuge Liang was unmoved, and his answer was that Liu Shijun visited his brother three times in the thatched hut, and consulted his brother about the affairs of the world... So I wanted to have a try, and wanted to use Liu Shijun's hand...to see if he could get along with him. Nanshou Hou played a game of chess, so...Fang Sui's life ambition!
It is precisely because of Zhuge Liang's obsession...

That gave birth to the slogan "Han and thief are not at odds, and the king's industry is not partial" that supported Liu Beijun's belief!

"Brother Jun..." Zhuge Liang stood up slowly, "Chibi Jiangxin for a while, you tried to persuade Brother Wei to vote for Wei, how did Brother Wei answer you? Do you remember?"

Zhuge Jun blurted out: "Brother said, maybe Jiangdong can't stop Great Wei from going south, but... at least, brother should also maintain the last arrogance of a literati, and try to play a game with Nanshouhou!" Learned!"

"At that time...he was still the Marquis of Nanshou of the great man!" Zhuge Liang said with emotion...his eyes looked towards the sky. "Now, he is already the monarch of Great Wei, and the real big man no longer exists."

It's only been a few years... the world has changed.

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang added: "At that time, I told my younger brother Jun that the Zhuge clan belonged to you, the most promising one, and the burden of revitalizing the Zhuge clan in the future will be placed on you!"

"Brother..." Zhuge Jun let out a sigh: "This time I came to see you, not for anything else, but to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Zhuge Liang asked hastily.

"If...Liu Xuande died in Yiling, then...the Prime Minister will be the 'master of great merit' in Bashu!"

This…

Zhuge Liang never imagined that the third younger brother would come here...to say such "crazy words"?
"Third brother...whether you are an envoy of Wei or a member of my Zhuge clan, you shouldn't say these words..."

"Second Brother!" Zhuge Jun said more earnestly, "I just came here to tell Second Brother that you don't have much time left, and Liu Xuande will perish in Yiling! Second Brother should make plans early!"

"You are presumptuous..." Zhuge Liang pointed at Zhuge Jun and said loudly.

Who would have thought that the two brothers who were originally brothers and sisters...just because of one sentence, the atmosphere here became cold.

extraordinarily stern...

"Second brother... have you seen this cannon? He can blast tens of thousands of people into pieces overnight..." Zhuge Jun continued, but his words became serious, "But in fact, the cannon is not considered a big Wei damage at all. The most powerful weapon, Your Majesty wants to defeat Liu Xuande...too...too simple, no matter whether you believe it or not, Liu Xuande will definitely die in Yiling! No one can change this!"

This…

Artillery... the cannon that turned the situation in Mi Cang Dao and killed tens of thousands of Shu troops in Mi Cang Dao day and night...isn't it Wei Wei's strongest weapon?

So... what else?What else?
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Jun in disbelief...

He opened his mouth, but he seemed to be stunned, 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... What will Shu Han do to fight Wei? How can Second Brother compare with Your Majesty? Can this battle be fought? This Are there any battles?"

call…

Now, Zhuge Liang felt his heart hurt.

The third brother is like sprinkling salt on his wound...

"This round..." Zhuge Liang's tone was hoarse, "This round...hasn't decided yet! Brother Jun, I'm sorry Brother Yu is busy with work, so I can't keep you for long...After you leave the Jianmen Pass, what can Brother Jun do? What method does Yu have, let the horse come here... let the horse come here!"

Zhuge Liang seemed to have exhausted all his strength... His mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Zhuge Jun wants to say something more...

In the end, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.

"Second Brother, Brother Yu is resigning!"

While speaking, Zhuge Jun cupped his hands and saluted, then retreated slowly.

Only Zhuge Liang was left with his eyes tightly closed, and the drizzle was dripping... The dripping raindrops brushed his face, making it extraordinarily cold.

Watching the third younger brother walk out of the gate of Jianmen Pass...

Zhuge Liang suddenly thought of something.

"Your Majesty...Where's your majesty's formation plan and camping plan for the Eastern Expedition? Fetch it...quickly fetch it..."

...

...

Jianmen Pass, in a government office.

Zhuge Liang seemed to be dazed. He witnessed Liu Bei's siege of Yiling drawn by his confidantes...

A messenger reported truthfully, "Your Majesty has ordered 25 soldiers from the three armies to surround Yiling City, spanning more than a hundred miles... to station more than forty villages, all of which are surrounded by mountains and streams. Some live in lush forests, and some live among stone piles. Up... some dwell in the open plains."

Zhuge Liang listened, and continued to look at this layout map for 100 years...

The messenger continued: "Just in case, His Majesty also ordered the flying ball to hang high in the air and closely monitor the movements in the vicinity. If there is a surprise attack by the enemy, or if there is a large army rushing to help, the defense can be deployed immediately... Even if Yiling has Your Majesty will be able to detect and spy on Wei Jun's artillery in the first place... and make specific responses."

It seems... Liu Bei's formation is foolproof.

Zhuge Liang couldn't see the problem at first glance...

But...But what Zhuge Jun said today was too heavy.

It's vivid in my mind... It's like Liu Bei's fall in Yiling is already vivid in my mind, vividly in front of my eyes.

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to be careless, he was still watching it over and over again... asking questions one after another from time to time.

"Your Majesty is aggressively attacking the city. What's unusual about the Wei army?"

this…

The courier shook his head, "It seems that there is nothing unusual, not even the use of artillery, let His Majesty's stone catapults be set up, and the countless boulders were so heavy that the Wei army could hardly lift their heads when attacking the city. 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 narrowed his eyes, and he was thinking carefully about what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in Yiling City.

and many more…

Zhuge Liang suddenly discovered something unusual.

"Your Majesty has been married for hundreds of miles. What about the surrounding farms? What about the people in the farms? Where are they?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it seems... Wei Jun's strategy is to fortify the walls and clear the fields. In the entire surrounding farms, there are no people, not even food."

This…

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, no!"

After listening to Zhuge Liang's conversation with the messenger, Wei Yan took a step forward, "What's wrong? Isn't it all right? Then Cao Yu focused his attack on the side of Shu Road, and the one stationed in Yiling is just a young boy? Lu Xun? A young boy, what kind of soldiers can he command?"

"Yun Chang lost his life because he underestimated the enemy!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly raised his voice, his eyes became tighter...

"Can…"

Wei Yan still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhuge Liang again, "Because nothing can be found, this is the biggest problem... the biggest flaw!"

"Where is it?" Zhuge Liang paced left and right, his eyes swept across the positions of Liu Bei's garrison, the forest was afraid of fire, the shallows were afraid of flooding, the hillside was afraid of landslides, mudslides...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? Wei Jun used to rely on flying balls to descend from the sky, which is understandable, but from the ground? How did he get out? Did he get out?"

"It's not a person..." Zhuge Liang seemed to realize something, "If... if it is similar to that artillery, it can be buried underground, and just wait for the whole army of His Majesty to fall into the predetermined position, then... then it will be 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, Your Majesty's garrison is too close to Yiling, fortify the walls and clear the fields... Then Lu Xun has never fortified the walls and cleared the fields, he just transported the people away for... Bury something that can explode in the ground!"

"The power of artillery...we have all witnessed it, but now...this power is going to...cover your Majesty, and cover 25 soldiers of the Shu army. Your Majesty will be defeated...Your Majesty will be defeated. Stop!"

ah... ah...

Wei Yan's eyes widened, "Could the prime minister... worry too much?"

"Worried too much?" Zhuge Liang said loudly, "Do you think our opponent is Lu Xun? No... our opponent has always been Cao Yu! It's Yinlin who helped Cao Cao build the Great Wei Foundation...I'm afraid, he will do it. It's more terrifying than I thought, he is going to make the Shu Han sink in one fell swoop!"

"Furthermore, how can there be a reason for the garrison to occupy the enemy for hundreds of miles? Once it explodes, the camp for hundreds of miles will be a fire for hundreds of miles.

Finally...Zhuge Liang could no longer speak...

He seemed to have foreseen the outcome of the battle of Yiling, His Majesty...His Majesty of Shu Han...I'm afraid it's...I'm afraid it's...

"Wei Yan..."

"The end is here!"

"You rush to Yiling to meet His Majesty at night, and tell him that the garrison must not be too close to Yiling, and immediately transfer the three armies to the outer periphery...to a place with villages and people, or there will be no salvation if it is too late!"

"Prime Minister..." Wei Yan rubbed his head, "But... from here to Yiling, it's an urgent journey of [-] miles, no matter how fast it takes, it will take three days! These three days... if it really happens as the Prime Minister expected, what should we do? "

"What I'm worried about..." Zhuge Liang was trembling all over, "Maybe...at this moment...the sound of the explosion has...already risen. If so, the soldiers and horses we have trained for five years...will...will be destroyed in one fell swoop Already!"
