"boom!"

Fu Qian and Luo Xian directed their men to twist the pulley and raise the other end of the bridge to the top of Xiangyang City.

"It's done! It's done!"

Although I couldn't see what the city on the other side looked like, I knew the bridge was successfully built just by hearing the sound and seeing that the bridge didn't fall.

The two fist bumped each other fiercely and shouted excitedly.

Ding Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, waved the long knife in his hand and shouted:

"Come at me!"

With that said, he strode onto the bridge and rushed towards the head of Xiangyang City.

The two Wei soldiers who were the first to notice something amiss were knocked to the ground by the bridge thrown from mid-air because they were too close. Their lives and deaths are unknown.

I heard shouts of death coming from the top of Xiangyang City, as well as torches that kept lighting up.

Lu Xun, who had been tensed up, then gave the order:

"Hold the lamp!"

"Congratulations, General. It looks like the soldiers have captured the city!"

Ma Tian, ​​who was accompanying Lu Xun, seemed to be relieved and said to Lu Xun with a smile.

Lu Xun let out a long breath, turned his head, and looked at Ma Tian, ​​who was unclear under the dim light, his eyes flickering:

"Looking at the situation, we've just reached the top of the city. It's probably too early to say we're happy."

After a pause, Lu Xun couldn't help but marvel in his tone:

"If it hadn't been for Mr. Ma's help this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of using this method to reach the top of Xiangyang City."

Martin shook his head without any intention of taking credit:

"The name of this method is the Bridge Shooting Technique. It was created by the Prime Minister. I was lucky enough to be taught by the Prime Minister in my early years, so I only know a few things about it. I didn't expect that with a little modification, it can be used at this time."

Lu Xun nodded, his tone full of admiration:

"The Prime Minister is extremely talented and intelligent, and it is no exaggeration to call him a heavenly man. It is a pity that he cannot ask for advice in person."

As the two of them talked, the top of Xiangyang City became brightly lit. Some of the lights were lit by the Wei soldiers themselves, and there were also torches held by Wu soldiers, who kept jumping up to the top of the city.

The shouts of killing became even more intense.

Ding Feng, the general who was the first to board the city, did not encounter much resistance.

First of all, there are really not many defenders in this section.

Secondly, even if there were defenders, they never expected that the Wu soldiers would attack the city in this way, so they had no preparation at all.

Ding Feng led his men, cut down a dozen people who came to stop the Wei army, and immediately led his men towards the turret that was always lit with lights.

As long as you occupy the commanding heights, you will have a firm foothold at the top of the city.

At this time, on the surface of the Han River, the Wu ships were no longer as silent as they were at first. Instead, after receiving the signal, they lit up their lights one after another.

Looking around, the entire water surface looks like bright stars.

With the Chang'an taking the lead, the Wu army's warships, which had been prepared long ago, continued to move towards Xiangyang City.

Some of them want to connect to the Chang'an and project troops.

Some want to build an air bridge next to the Chang'an.

The commotion on the Han River soon alarmed Fancheng.

"What happened?"

Guanqiu Jian, who was sleeping in his clothes, immediately ran to the top of the city when he heard the noise.

"General, we don't know either."

Looking at the brightly lit Han River, Guanqiu Jian's face was as gloomy as the inverted night.

Wu Kou made such a big noise in the middle of the night, it was definitely not for fun.

Thinking again of the tall ships that appeared between Xiangfan and Xiangfan a few days ago, Guanqiu Jian felt even more ominous.

But at night like this, without any preparation, it was really difficult to know what Wu Kou was doing.

At this time, someone pointed to the south and exclaimed:

"General, look!"

Xiangfan is originally one body. If you stand at the top of Fancheng in the daytime, you can see the top of Xiangyang.

The fighting at the top of Xiangyang City became increasingly fierce, which naturally attracted the attention of everyone at the top of Fancheng City.

"Is this... someone attacking Xiangyang City at night?"

"impossible!"

It’s not that it’s impossible to attack Xiangyang City at night, but it’s simply impossible to attack Xiangyang City at night from the north!

How to attack a city from the water?

We can't even talk about siege, but we still want to attack at night?

The buildings of Wu Kou were indeed very high, some were even higher than Xiangyang City.

But even though Xiangyang City is close to the Han River, such a huge ship has an extremely deep draft.

Even on a large river, in a place unfamiliar with hydrology, one would not dare to dock easily.

Otherwise, the boat will capsize and people will die.

Let alone on the Han River.

In his heart, he refused to believe that the Wu invaders could use tower ships to attack the city, but everything in the distance to the south was beyond Guanqiu Jian's explanation.

What happened at Xiangyang City?

…

"We still don't fully know what exactly happened in Shangdang County. It would be a bit rash to talk about an immediate counterattack now."

In addition to Sima Yi personally leading the army into Shangdang and receiving support from Guo Xun, Feng Duhu believed that there must be support from local wealthy families.

Otherwise, Wei Yan would not be in a situation where his life or death is unknown.

Although he disliked Wei Yan, Feng Duhu still recognized his ability to lead troops in combat.

It was enough to lose the party because of carelessness, and he lost to the eldest son despite having an engineering battalion, which shows that Sima Yi was very well prepared for joining the party.

Faced with the plan proposed by Zhang Bao, Zhang Yi and others, Feng Duhu did not fully agree.

With his hand, he drew a circle on the map:

"The Changping battle between Qin and Zhao was in this area. If we really want to counterattack Shangdang from the eldest son, it means that we will also have a Changping battle with Sima Yi."

In the first half of the Battle of Changping, Lian Po led the Zhao army and built three lines of defense in the Changping area. They could not hold on, but the Qin army also suffered a lot.

Otherwise, why would you try to alienate Zhao Guo and transfer Lian Po away?

Why did Bai Qi have to be secretly transferred here in order to deal with Zhao Kuo?

"Sima Yi is not Zhao Kuo, and our current situation is no better than that of the Qin army."

During the Battle of Changping, the Qin army had already controlled Zhiguan and even Hanoi.

But now, Sima Yi's son Sima Shi is still in Gaodu City.

If we really want to counterattack Shangdang from Changping, it would be easy if we could win it in one go.

If they could not win and it really turned into a confrontation like the Battle of Changping, the situation that the Han army would face would be much more severe than that of the Qin army.

After all, the area from Gaopingguan to Changzi is mostly steep and steep, and there is no way to bring out the full advantages of the cavalry.

If Sima Yi, the old turtle, really wants to defend against danger, Feng Duhu has no confidence that he can win.

Although Jiang Wan had found a way to temporarily requisition food and grass, it could only be used to meet an urgent need.

The big man really didn't expect to start a big war at this time.

The troops, food and fodder are all insufficiently prepared.
