    Change is the way of heaven and man, the ultimate principle of the universe!  No one in this world can truly master it!

    Pang Tong thought that the disastrous defeat of the Zhennan Army at the foot of Xiangyang City would greatly delay Li Zhe's army's march south. This judgment was completely wrong!  Li Zhejun's national power far exceeded his imagination, and his recovery speed was unparalleled!  And Li Zhe's willpower and determination are far stronger than he imagined!

    After the news of the defeat of the Zhennan Army reached Xudu, the ministers who were discussing matters in the cabinet were stunned for a long time. Most people are now used to Li Zhejun's victorious battles and did not react to the news at all!

    But Li Zhe recovered the fastest from it, and the first words out of his mouth were:

    "Attack! Continue to attack! Destroy all resistance!"

    This is the will of an invincible king!  Those who obey will prosper, those who go against will perish!  No resisters are allowed on the way forward!  Once there is a failure or fall, we must use faster speed and more violent attacks to suppress the resisters!

    Under Li Zhe¡¯s will, the Zhennan Army¡¯s reintegration work was extremely fast, and a plan was come up almost immediately!

    ?Replenish the backbone of the militiamen from Nanyang County, Runan County and Xiangcheng Industrial Zone, reorganize and expand the Zhennan Army.

    Cao Ren succeeded as the commander of the Zhennan Army, which had four regiments and an artillery battalion, totaling more than 40,000 people.  The first regiment includes an iron cavalry battalion, with Cao Chun as the general, and the other three regiments include Han Hao, Zhang Liao and Ren Jun.

    Within a week, the new recruits were in place, and the integration was completed in another week. The new long-range troops and artillery battalions that were completed later also arrived.  Departing from Nanyang County, he came to Deng County and replenished various departments of Zhennan Army.

    On March 12, 202, tens of thousands of troops came to Xiangyang City again with the will to destroy!

    ¡­¡­

    The new commander of the Zhennan Army looked up at the walls of Xiangyang City. Now most of them have collapsed.

    The traces of the previous battle are still intact.  The place that was originally breached has still not been repaired, and the main gate of Beicheng no longer exists. Su Wu's body is probably still buried under the 10,000 kilograms of bricks and stones!

    Zhang Liao drove his horse over.  He is now a member of the Zhennan Army!  Equivalent to the same title as deputy general.

    "Zixiao! Attack the city directly? It seems that such a city wall does not require firepower preparation!"

    Cao Ren shook his head, sighed and said:

    "King Ming wants to kill as a warning to others, and the meaning of the demonstration is very clear. We will understand your Majesty, and this first shot must be fired!"

    "But, this artillery?! Is there any suspicion of leaking secrets?"

    "No! No! No! I read in the firearms combat minutes of the King that the essence of firearms warfare is the victory of technology over backwardness, order over chaos, and victory based on industrial scale. It no longer matters whether it is confidential or not. Deterrence is the most important thing.  .¡±

    "Yes!" Zhang Liao agreed, bowed and retreated.

    In front of the camp.  One hundred artillery pieces of the firearms battalion and a small number of super-heavy trebuchets specially used for sieges were ready.

    Then, a small group of elite soldiers stormed the city wall, drawing out the enemy's firepower points and marking them one by one.  Subsequently, hundreds of artillery pieces and a dozen super-heavy trebuchets fired from the city.

    In an instant, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and rocks collapsed!  The attack, like a landslide and tsunami, flooded everything in the world. The artillery positions were filled with smoke and bursts of thunder.  The distant city wall withstood the most violent attack in history.  Although the mass of the cannonball is small, its speed far exceeds that of the trebuchet.  Entering the city, its effect is no less destructive than a heavy trebuchet.  The city walls of this era are far unable to withstand such penetrating damage.  A few brick walls were penetrated by a projectile, and ordinary wooden structures were destroyed in an instant.  Every shell that fell into the crowd was a cellar of flesh and blood.

    What's even more frightening is that the accuracy of artillery has been greatly increased compared to trebuchets. The previous covering attacks can now achieve precise strikes covering a small area. The places where the enemy is entrenched are destroyed one by one in a short time.  No more covering up.

    There is also the ultimate weapon thrown by the trebuchet - homemade napalm bombs!  This kind of destructive thing was sacrificed by Li Zhejun again. Dozens of them were thrown out, covering the inner city wall into a sea of ??flames. The tongues of fire several meters high devoured everything within reach, even in corners that could not be reached by cannonballs.  The people who could be hidden in the fire now have nowhere to escape. They turn into burning men in the fire, running desperately in it, shouting piercingly, struggling and turning into charcoal bit by bit!

    The entire city wall turned into a hell on earth!

    After the first batch of heavy weapons, artillery and trebuchets wreaked havoc, it was time for small and medium-sized weapons to go into battle. Thousands of infantrymen carried various weapons onto the broken city wall, each looking for a favorable shot.point.  Li Zhejun's former military weapon, the crossbow, has now been miniaturized. A large number of steel components have replaced wooden components, further reducing the size and weight. Two people can carry it around, and the maneuverability has been greatly increased. It has entered the  The base level of the army has become a small unit of direct-aimed shooting units.

    The infantry moved these convenient ballistae onto the first layer of the city wall and set them up on the outer city wall. Once the heavy fire attack stopped, thousands of ballistae began to suppress the attack on the inner city wall. The precision of this direct-aimed weapon  The blow was even more fatal to the infantry. Thousands of stone bullets poured in. After a while, the inner city wall was a mess of blood and flesh, and the enemy soldiers had disappeared.

    After a while, the sergeants of the Zhennan Army completed their firepower preparations and were preparing for a large-scale attack. There were sounds of fighting in the city, and there was the faint sound of weapons fighting. After a while, a white flag was raised on the city wall, and Xiangyang City surrendered!

    The first performance of the new battle mode, a great victory!

    Cao Ren's army took the opportunity to rush into the city and take control of the key areas. After everything was over, they realized: Pang Tong and others were not fools. Seeing Li Zhe's army coming, they knew that the last luck could not be replicated successfully again, and they had already retreated.  !  Now the people in the city voluntarily stayed to guard the city.

    These soldiers were originally ambitious to protect their hometown, but in the end they were attacked by Li Zhejun's firepower and were heartbroken!  Some people gave up their plan of stubborn resistance and started civil strife in the city when Cao Ren attacked the city. They successfully captured the city and announced their surrender, and released Kuai, Cai Mao and others who had been imprisoned by Liu Qi.

    But today's Xiangyang City is almost an empty city. The main supplies and reserves have been transported out by Pang Tong and others, and a lot of the population has also moved away, making the people gnash their teeth with hatred.

    "Traitor! Such a traitor! General Cao, please give me a troop of soldiers and horses. I am willing to personally lead the army and kill this group of traitors!" Cai Hao got the news and quickly jumped out to express his loyalty. Now he is  It is the most serious sense of crisis.

    "Oh? Who is this?"

    "This is Cai Mao, a famous scholar from Jingzhou, whose pseudonym is Degui. I am the son of Cai Xi, a famous scholar in the past!"

    "Oh!" Cao Ren immediately woke up and realized what was going on. Isn't this the person who secretly refused to deal with Li Zhejun at the beginning?  His face suddenly turned cold: "Oh! The situation is urgent now and our army has heavy military affairs, so I won't entertain you all. Everyone, please go down and wait for the news!" He drove Cai Mao away directly.

    Then he turned to face the Kuai brothers, his face immediately turned into a flower-like smile:

    ¡°I have heard about these two great names for a long time, but have never had the opportunity to meet them. Now I am so lucky!¡±

    "No, no, the general is so complimentary"

    The Kuai brothers, Cao Ren and others began to plan the next thing in Jingzhou!
