Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416 Smoke Bomb Siege

Cao Cao decided to develop the south, a large-scale development.

This requires a lot of money.

First of all, people used to need to build houses, and most importantly, they needed various farm tools and cattle.

All artificial reclamation, the efficiency is too low.

It takes big, big money.

Cao Cao was considering where the money would come from.

At this time Cheng Yu stood up and said, "Master, we can borrow money from Sun Ce and Liu Biao."

Everyone was taken aback, asking them to borrow money?

Xu You said: "We helped them block Zhang Ming's soldiers. Theoretically, our lips and teeth are close to each other. At that time, there was no real harm to them. They probably said that they couldn't borrow much money."

Everyone nodded, indeed.

"Everything depends on human effort, always try."

Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with Cheng Yu's proposal.

"Move first, let the military act, and then we'll borrow money from them."

Cao Cao first collected a sum of money to reclaim a large area of ​​wasteland in the south.

At the same time, he plans to recruit refugees and let the refugees who have no land go to reclaim the land together.

This is what Zhang Ming did before.

They quit because it was unnecessary and the money was enough.

Now that their strength is weak, they think of wanting to be refugees and develop.

Recruiting refugees is costly. First of all, they need to support these people for a year, distribute farm tools and seeds, and help build houses.

Calculated, it is really a huge consumption.

Cao Cao couldn't afford it, but he was smart. He directly sent [-] troops to garrison troops, and after the garrison points were established, he slowly absorbed refugees and let the people go to farm.

At this time, Xun You stood up again.

"My lord, Zhang Ming has a large number of tea gardens in Yangzhou and other places. It is better to directly occupy those in our control area."

In the past, the relationship with Zhang Ming was sometimes hostile and sometimes cooperative, and Cao Cao did not touch these industries of Zhang Ming.

Tea is very popular now, and can be turned into cash in large quantities.

Cao Cao hesitated, confiscating these industries would definitely be beneficial, but of course there would be great sequelae.

"Okay, then all these industries will be confiscated."

After careful consideration, Cao Cao decided to confiscate Zhang Ming's property.

There must be sequelae, Zhang Ming will retaliate, but both sides are already enemies of life and death, and now Cao Cao doesn't care about carrying this one more.

After Cao Cao made his decision, he asked Cheng Yu to carry it out.

In this way, Cao Cao's rear strategy also began.

Cao Cao sent two missions to find Liu Biao and Sun Ce respectively.

As for Liu Zhang, Cao Cao didn't intend to look for him.

The land of Shuchuan now thinks it is safe, and they don't have too much contact with the outside world.

Cao Cao also felt that there was no way to persuade them.

Cao Cao is formulating his grand strategy here.

And Zhang Ming began to prepare to attack the city.

On the fourth day of his siege, he finally started to attack.

"Zilong, together with me, select dozens of other young generals, each with elites, to concentrate on attacking one city wall. The other three walls are all feints, but if there is a chance, they will turn to the main attack."

This time, Zhang Ming planned to make a quick decision.

Bingzhou can't delay for too long, as it will give Cao Cao a chance.

"Okay, big brother."

Zhang Ming arranged the army.

He asked some soldiers to bring buckled bows and crossbows.

There are sword and shield soldiers in front, and there are sword and shield soldiers climbing up behind.

Ready to start fighting.

"Army attack."

Zhang Ming gave the order, and the army began to attack the city.

The army rushed up and the siege began.

Zhang Ming and Zhao Yun each commanded the battle on half of the city wall.

The soldiers rushed up, and people were ambushed underneath. If the enemy poked his head out, he was likely to be shot and killed by the crossbow.

Concentrating superior forces, Zhang Ming launched a crazy attack.

At one point the soldiers went up to the city wall and fought with the enemies above.

Enemy pressure is high.

Li Yi personally commanded, not daring to leave for a moment.

In other directions of feint attack, the soldiers also rushed and fought, as if they were about to rush to the top of the city.

Zhang Ming saw it in his eyes, and didn't have too many plans to change for the time being.

The crowd rushed to kill, and after fighting for a long time, the city wall was in jeopardy.

Li Yi is under a lot of pressure.

Zhang Ming and the others were repulsed again, and they had been repulsed several times.

This time, Zhang Ming reorganized the army, and then said to the young generals: "This time, we are going to break through the enemy's defense line directly, everyone put on the masks."

Zhang Ming suddenly asked for masks to be distributed.

He then said to dozens of special forces: "Your task is to throw smoke bombs on the city."

It is necessary to send special forces because only special forces can use smoke bombs.

arrange together.

Start the attack, and a new round of attack begins.

In a high-density attack, Zhang Ming's army rushed forward, and the two sides fought fiercely.

"Special forces, get on the field."

"Everyone get ready."

When the special forces arrived, they began to climb the ladder, and Zhang Ming shouted, "Rush up, open the city gate."

At this time, Zhang Ming and several young generals led the soldiers to rush up.

Dozens of special forces climbed very fast, and kept their eyes on the top while climbing, avoiding the stones and rolling logs thrown from above.

If there are some that cannot be avoided, they will hit them and jump down.

More than a dozen people climbed half way up.

"Throw."

At this moment, they took out the smoke bomb and threw it up.

Throw one, then the second, and dozens of them in a row.

"Cough cough cough cough."

"Cough cough cough."

"Cough cough."

"what."

"Ah, why can't I see it?"

The top of the city was suddenly shrouded in smoke.

The special forces continued to kill and climbed to the top of the city.

The smoke filled the air and had a certain pungent taste.

The enemy army has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

Zhang Ming and the others started to go up, but they only received sporadic attacks.

The top of the city was open and the wind was strong, so the smoke began to disperse after a while.

At this time, a vague figure could be seen, and the special forces found a good opportunity to kill him.

After killing dozens of people on the top of the city, the special forces organized and killed in one direction.

But Zhang Ming and the others climbed up quickly, and when they reached the top of the city, most of the smoke had dissipated, and many enemies were coughing and crying.

Now, we can already distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

"kill."

Zhang Ming and the others are wearing masks, which will actually be affected, but it can reduce the impact and make it easier to distinguish friend from foe.

On the top of the city, Zhang Ming and a few young generals led people to kill them.

"Come on a soldier, kill me."

At the top of the city, half of them were not attacked by smoke bombs.

Zhang Ming organized a troop and charged over there.

When smoke rose from the top of the city, Li Yi was frightened for no reason.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the enemy to kill him.

Suddenly, an army rushed out from the smoke, led by Zhang Ming.

Li Yi sent people to resist, but they were defeated in one blow. How could they be Zhang Ming's opponents.

When Zhang Ming led an army to kill him, everything was over.

Li Yi stood there watching for a long time.

The fighting continued, but gradually turned into a massacre.

"Stop it, stop it all."

Li Yi suddenly stood up and shouted.

On their side, someone stopped, but Zhang Ming was still fighting.

After killing the enemy in front of him, Zhang Ming also ordered to stop the attack.

"General Li Yi, give the order to open the city gate. It's meaningless to fight now." Zhang Ming said to Li Yi who was facing him with his weapon horizontally.
