A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 30 Attacking Xiangyang and capturing Wenpin

A few days later, Zhou Yu mobilized [-] troops and went north out of Chaisang City to Jiangxia, joining forces with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

As for Du Huo, he and Zhuge Liang still stayed in Chaisang City, busy with the second important matter.

According to reports from the scouts, the current road from Bowangpo to Xiangyang is blocked by rocks. If the rocks cannot be cleared, the siege army will not be able to reach Xiangyang City.

During this time, Du Huo and Zhuge Liang were concentrating on this matter, trying to find a solution.

After several days of investigation, the two found an old man who made gunpowder in Chaisang City, and asked the old man to take charge of solving the problem of rocks on Bowangpo.

However, although the old man is quite interested in this matter, but because there is no material to make it, the matter can only be delayed again and again.This matter was not resolved until the mining in the north of Chaisang City.

According to Du Huo's memory of the game, making gunpowder is not too difficult, it's just that it takes a little time to find materials.

However, at the moment, it does take some time to find materials.But the time here is incomparable to the time in the game.

The next day, several carts of gunpowder were transported to the cabin at Jiangdong Ferry.Then Du Huo and Zhuge Liang jointly escorted the gunpowder to Jiangxia and joined Jiangxia's army.

A few days later, Du Huo raised an army of [-], set out from Jiangxia in a mighty manner, and headed northward to Xiangyang.

The army marched to Bowang Slope, and several carts of gunpowder were evenly arranged on the edge of the rocks.

Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the ground, the rocks blocking the road disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After removing the chaotic rocks, Xiangyang City was equivalent to a wide open door, and Du Huo ordered the soldiers to march quickly.As a result, within two days, the army had already arrived at the city of Xiangyang.

The sudden appearance of Du Huo's army was unexpected by Xiangyang defender Cai Mao.

At this time, it was too late to ask Cao Cao for help. In desperation, Cai Mao had to lead the [-] navy in the city, relying on the iron walls of Xiangyang City, to fight against Du Huo's army!
Up to now, this battle is undoubtedly the biggest battle that Du Huo has experienced since entering the game world.

In the city of Xiangyang, five generals of Cao Cao stayed here, namely: Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wenpin, Lu Gong, and Wang Can

It is worth mentioning that these five men were all Liu Biao's generals before, but because Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, they switched to Cao Cao's command.

Among them, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were all powerful generals during the Three Kingdoms period, while Wang Can was famous for his poems and prose.

With such a strong lineup of opponents, plus the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Xiangyang City, if Du Huo's own original strength is used, it will definitely be impossible to win.

However, because of Zhou Yu's participation, all this situation has undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment.

Right now, not to mention Du Huo's army strength is slightly larger than Cai Mao's.And just in terms of generals and counselors, that is what Cai Mao can't match.

At this time, on Du Huo's side, Wu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were fighting on the battlefield, with Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu strategizing.

Therefore, even if Xiangyang City is an iron wall, it cannot escape the fate of bad luck.

The battle started in the early hours of the morning, and Cai Mao urgently ordered that all the exits of Xiangyang City be sealed off. All the soldiers gathered at the city gate to resist the attack of Du Huo's army.

During this period, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others charged several times in a row, but they failed.The battle fell into a stalemate for a while.

In the evening, Du Huo's army set up camp under Xiangyang City. Chen Deng, who was in charge of supervising the construction of Xinye City, escorted food and grass here, providing guarantee for the army's continuous operations.

In the middle of the night, the sky was gloomy and gloomy. Zhou Yu personally led [-] Jiangdong soldiers to attack the city of Xiangyang overnight, waiting for an opportunity to break through the city.

However, due to the strict security at Xiangyang Chengguan, they returned without success.

The next day, Du Huo's army launched another attack on the city.At the same time, Zhuge Liang sent [-] soldiers to dig the moat and divert water into the city.

Cai Mao's defenders had to abandon the outer city and retreat to the inner city because the river flooded into the city and the soldiers were seriously injured.

In the afternoon, the outer city of Xiangyang was breached and the damaged trestle bridges were repaired. A decisive battle between the two armies was imminent.

At dusk, Cai Mao and Wenpin each led [-] soldiers and fought out from the east and west gates respectively, intending to abandon the city and flee.

However, they were stopped by Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu. After a fierce battle, Cai Mao was beheaded by Zhou Yu in the melee, and Wen Pin was captured by Zhao Yun.

In the Duhuo barracks, Zhuge Liang personally received Wenpin, trying to persuade him to surrender.

"General, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng were former generals. Why did you work for Cao Cao today?"

Inside the tent, there is a soldier standing on either side of Wenpin, holding a knife and ax and staring at the tiger.Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, was sitting in front of his desk, shaking his feather fan with a proud demeanor.

"I'm a rough man. I fight on the battlefield. If I win, I will be promoted to a noble. If I lose, I will lie down on the battlefield. Now that I am defeated, why do you bother with me?" Wen Pin was proud, and asked Zhuge Liang Not at all.

"I heard that when the general first came to Cao Cao, he was ashamed to see the people because he couldn't protect the whole territory. If it wasn't all just rumors?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"It is the general's duty to protect the environment and the people! Prime Minister Cao allowed me to stay in Jingzhou, which is just obeying my will. It is not a bad idea for me to serve him!"

Wenpin is a general after all, he may be invincible in a battle on the battlefield, but his words are a little superficial.

And his mind at this time is to protect the environment and the people, and protect the safety of the people.As for the ownership of the territory of the city, it has nothing to do with him.

"Cao Cao allowed you to stay in Jingzhou, so you are grateful to him, but do you remember that Cao Cao made the people of Jingzhou suffer unspeakably from the flames of war?"

"Since the matter has already happened, there is no need to mention it again, and now Xiangyang City is my territory, if you want the people of Xiangyang City to suffer from war, then I, Wenpin, will naturally not agree! "Although Wenpin has not forgotten the crimes committed by Cao Cao, he is unwilling to mention it again.

Perhaps, he has gotten used to the customs of Xiangyang and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.Therefore, he will never allow anyone to destroy his humble and unbearably false peace.

"There are two kinds of people in the world, who can be called generals. One is to lead a benevolent and righteous army to save the people of the world from fire and water, and the other is to live in a corner and protect the safety of the people! In my opinion, both of them are It has nothing to do with you! At this time, you only want to enjoy yourself, and your words to protect the safety of the people are just excuses for your own enjoyment!"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's words suddenly became bitter and mean, and he didn't save Wenpin any face!
