Chapter 463 The Great General Cannon (Daily Change 4/5)
On the horizon, flags of the Jizhou army were waving, and teams of infantry and cavalry gathered towards the Yijing Fortress, like a torrent.
General Gongsun Zan of the White Horse and a group of Youzhou military generals stood on the outer wall of the Yijing Fortress. Seeing the arrival of the black Jizhou army, they were in a heavy mood.
The black clouds are crushing the city and are about to destroy it, and the Jizhou army brings a strong sense of oppression.
Xu Tian personally conquered Yijing Fortress, and used Le Yi as the lord of the city to lead a million troops.
"We have Yijing Fortress, so we are not afraid of the Jizhou army at all, so we don't have to panic."
Gongsun Zan boosts morale.
The morale of the Youzhou generals was a little excited, but they were still uneasy.
The Jizhou army was occupying nearby towns and forming an encirclement to Yijing.
"Yijing Fortress is indeed well-known. The outer city wall is more than twelve feet high."
Xu Tian led his troops to the city of Yijing and witnessed the towering city walls of Yijing.
Above and behind the city wall are countless archery towers, with a high view and a vast view.
Yijing Fortress relies on Yishui and rises from the ground, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and cannot cut off the water source.
The Gongsun family's legion flag was waving, and the soldiers in Youzhou were wearing sharp edges, and soldiers were defending every step on the city wall.
If you want to break through the Yijing Fortress, you can basically only siege the fortress until Yijing's troops are exhausted.
Le Yi doubled the bonus of siege equipment, so Le Yi was the siege leader and deployed to attack Yi Jing.
After Le Yi arrived, he immediately ordered craftsmen to build large siege equipment such as trench machines.
This may be the first time that Xu Tian's forces attacked a fortress-level city.
The difficulty of attacking Yijing is even greater than that of attacking Luoyang, Chang'an and other cities.
"Dig a trench and build an arrow tower outside Yijing, with three floors inside and three floors outside, and besieged."
When Le Yi was preparing to attack the city, Tian Feng commanded another group of craftsmen and soldiers to siege the city, build fortifications outside Yijing, completely trapping Yijing to death, making Gongsun Zan unable to join the reinforcements outside, and cutting off any possibility of Gongsun Zan and the reinforcements outside.
"Then, what is that?!"
Gongsun Fan, a military general from Youzhou in Yijing Fortress, suddenly exclaimed.
In Leyi's camp outside the city, not only were there a large number of catapults, siege towers and ladders built, but also vans pulled by mules and horses appeared.
On the van, there are grooves inlaid with cylindrical iron cylinders, five iron bumps, and two wheels under the van.
The hollow muzzle of the iron tube aimed at the wall of Yijing Fortress.
The generals of Youzhou were shocked by this strange weapon, but they could not explain their origin.
"Is this a general's cannon?"
The players who worked hard for Gongsun Zan saw the origin of the car cannon at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim.
This is a firearm from the Ming Dynasty!
"Firearms have a considerable restraining effect on the fortress. Although the power of the general's cannon is not terrifying, it cannot withstand too many..."
"It's hard to defend it in Jing!"
When players from Gongsun Zan's power saw that Xu Tian even brought out the general artillery of the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of them, and they said they could not defend.
Gongsun Zan was also a little uneasy when he noticed the reactions of a group of players.
The Jizhou army has emerged one after another, and the Yijing Fortress seems to be not as solid as a decisive thing.
"It's a pity that cold weapons have extremely strong destructive power, and the advantages of firearms are not that great, but as long as there are enough numbers, they should be able to collapse the city wall."
Xu Tian inspected hundreds of general guns, aiming his cold muzzles at Yijing Fortress.
As long as large-scale siege equipment such as siege towers and trenchers are completed, you can attack Yi Jing in a large scale.
The general's cannon is also a siege equipment. Le Yi's "famous siege general" characteristic also adds the general's cannon, and its power is doubled, enough to shake Yi Jing.
Attacking Yijing Fortress is also related to Le Yi's mission to break the boundary.
【Border Break Mission】: Seventy-Two Cities
【Difficultity】: Extremely difficult
[Task Content]: Le Yi is the main general and conquered no less than 72 medium-sized cities or large cities, giant cities, and royal cities.
Le Yi's mission to break the boundary is concise, just capture 72 medium-sized cities.
The seemingly simple task is actually not that simple, because there are not so many medium-sized cities and large cities.
Moreover, Le Yi's clone is incompetent and can only attack one city at a time.
The Yijing Fortress has stationed a million troops, which is considered a medium-sized city.
Gongsun Zan is still continuously building fortifications, and arrow towers are completed.
Le Yi has the strongest ability to attack cities, while Gongsun Zan has the strongest fortress, which is considered to attack shields with spears.
In Yanzhou, Puyang City, Cao Cao's situation is getting worse and worse.
In the north, Xu Tian was seizing the tiger's capital against Youzhou. As long as he captured Yijing, he could basically control most of Youzhou.
In the south, under the integration of Yuan Wei, the brothers of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu merged and summoned old officials from all over the world to dominate the Central Plains and Huainan, becoming a major force.
The influence of Yuan family in Runan was extremely terrifying, and disciples and former officials were everywhere.
Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, announced that he would return to the sphere of influence of the Yuan clan in Runan and would no longer obey Cao Cao's orders.
One after another, former officials of the Yuan clan defected to the Yuan clan of Runan.
The aristocratic families chose to surrender to Yuan Shao, while the wild bandits chose to surrender to Yuan Shu.
Cao Cao, who was sandwiched between Xu Tian and Yuan clan in Runan, felt very uncomfortable.
Moreover, Cao Cao, a veteran Yuan clan of Yuan clan, regarded as a vassal of the Yuan clan of Runan, ordered Cao Cao to attack Jizhou, support Gongsun Zan, and gain time for the expansion of the Yuan clan of Runan.
"The Yuan family in Runan, the three generations of four generations and three kings, and if Yuan Wei dies, the world will not be decided."
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh why Dong Zhuo didn't kill Yuan Wei's family.
If Yuan Wei is gone, then Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will definitely split up.
"When the river channel freezes in the cold winter, we will raise troops to attack Jizhou."
Cao Cao weighed the pros and cons and had to send troops to Jizhou at a critical moment in accordance with the requirements of the Yuan family of Runan.
The Yellow River waterway has been controlled by the Jizhou Navy. If Cao Cao wants to send troops to Jizhou to rescue Gongsun Zan, he can only choose to send troops in the cold winter.
Yuyang County, Baigui Yefeng, who was the Baigui of the Baigui Night Walking Guild, took advantage of Gongsun Zan being besieged in Yijing Fortress and sent troops to control the counties and counties of Youzhou such as Yuyang County and Dai County to fight with the partial troops sent by Xu Tian, and was unwilling to give up the opportunity to compete for Youzhou.
"Gongsun Zan is willing to divide all the gold, silver and treasures he has accumulated and half of Youzhou to us, as long as we send troops to rescue him."
Hundred ghosts and Ye Feng received a request for help from Gongsun Zan.
"We can call on Youzhou players, promise them benefits, and expel the soldiers and horses of Jizhou."
"You forgot that there is a strong force in Youzhou, that is the Wuhuan of the Three Counties."
"The Wuhuan people hated Gongsun Zan to the core, and they were not necessarily willing to send troops to intervene in the Youzhou War."
"You are wrong. As long as there is a benefit, the Wuhuan people will definitely fly to the fire."
"Then send someone to contact Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan master in western Liaoning who commanded the three counties."
"If the Wuhuan cavalry intervened in the war, then Yi Jing's offensive and defense will be hard to say."
