Chapter 1521 The Battle of Shouchun
Lu Xun said: "You don't have to worry too much. Although ships are the foundation of the navy, the navy officers and soldiers are the mainstay of the entire navy.
Although Liu Xian has the ability to build a large number of ships in a few months, it is impossible to train a navy army that has been experienced in such a short time!
At present, only the navy troops of Ganning's troops in Jingzhou can barely compete with our navy. Unfortunately, they suffered heavy losses in the previous war. Now the number of veterans in the army is limited, and most of them are recruited by new recruits.
In this case, even if Liu Xian had enough ships, he would never be able to compete with our army on the water!"
Everyone felt that what he said made sense, and the worried heart couldn't help but let go of most of it.
Sun Jian returned to his seat and smiled and said, "Although we lost Nanjun, the whole situation is not as severe as we imagined.
Our army has an elite naval army and a natural danger to the Yangtze River, which is enough to stop Liu Xian's attempt.
Recently, I received another report that heavy rains over the Huaihe River caused the flooding of rivers and stopped the enemy troops in Huaibei. Liu Bei and Cao Cao's alliance had surrounded Shouchun. Shouchun had become an isolated city, and it should only be a matter of time before the city was destroyed.
If Shouchun is recovered by the coalition forces, Liu Xian's morale will definitely be greatly reduced. Liu Xian's even if he doesn't want to delay the attack, he will not be able to do so!"
After hearing what Sun Jian said, everyone felt much better, and smiles appeared on their faces.
At this moment, a messenger quickly stepped in and presented a book of flying pigeons to Sun Jian.
Sun Jian took the Feige's letter, opened it and read it, and looked at it with a very happy expression on his face. He shook the letter in his hand and said to everyone: "This time God finally stood on our side!
This is a report sent by Nanzhong. Meng Huo and our people have successfully sneaked into Zhurong's royal city and are about to launch a raid on Zhurong!
Once Zhurong is removed, Meng Huo will be able to regain control of Nanzhong, and the entire southwest direction under Liu Xian's rule will be completely shaken!"
When everyone heard the news, they were excited to talk, and everyone felt that the situation was about to reverse.
Liu Xian stood at the door of the big tent, looking to the east, and frowned tightly.
He was worried about the army on the other side of the Huai River, and about Zhao Yanran, Diao Chan and the others who were in it. The flood of the Huai River was flooded and Shouchun had become an isolated city. I really don’t know what the situation is now?
As soon as he thought about this, he was even more worried, but Liu Xian could not do anything except worry.
Dian Wei came in quickly.
Liu Xian immediately turned around when he heard Dian Wei's footsteps.
Dian Wei came straight to Liu Xian, presented a book of Fei Ge's letters, and said, "Wenpin sent Fei Ge's letters to him."
Liu Xian was just eager to get Yanran’s news, but he heard that it was a letter sent by Wen Pin, and felt a little disappointed.
I reached out to take the letter, opened it and read it, and a thoughtful look appeared on my face.
At this time, in the Huainan area, Liu Xianjun had already given up Jiujiang and all the troops retreated to Shouchun. The coalition of Cao Cao and Liu Bei had been besieging Shouchun for many days, and the situation was already very bad for Liu Xianjun.
Zhang Fei had just sat down and took a breath, but unexpectedly, there was a huge sound of war drums outside the city. Zhang Fei was very annoyed and jumped up to look outside the city.
I saw that a unit of Cao's army began to attack again! The army was advancing forward in the heavy rain, and the huge footsteps sounded like thunder in the rain!
Zhang Fei looked at the sky that was about to dark and couldn't help but curse: "Cao Cao, Liu Bei, these two bastards, don't plan to let us rest!"
Then he shouted at the officers and soldiers on the top of the city: "Prepare!!!..."
The three-bow crossbow and the crossbowmen were all putting on the strings and ready to shoot.
At the same time, the sword, shield, spearmen were lined up along the wall.
Xiahou Dun couldn't help but say to Cao Cao: "King of Wei, the weather is so bad and it's about to get dark, why should you continue to attack?"
Cao Cao looked at the city ahead and murmured: "This is the time to benefit our army! It was raining heavily, and the opponent's most powerful artillery weapon could not be used. Although our army was a little difficult, it was much better than attacking against the opponent's artillery fire!"
Xiahou Dun then realized it.
Cao Cao shouted from Xiahou Dun: "Immediately send all stone cannon cars to launch bombardment!"
Xiahou Dun looked at the situation of his army and clasped his fists and said, "King of Wei, our army has approached within 100 steps of the other city wall. At this moment, bombarding with stone cannons may accidentally injure our officers and soldiers."
Cao Cao said firmly: "This is the case when fighting with Liu Xianjun! Obey the execution immediately!"
Xiahou Dun held his fists and agreed and ran down.
With Xiahou Dun's order, all the stone cannon cars were fired together.
In the rain curtain, countless stones flew into the sky, passing through the rain curtain and flew straight towards the city wall.
Zhang Fei suddenly saw this scene and couldn't help but greet Cao Cao's mother.
In the blink of an eye, countless stones fell together with the heavy rain falling from the sky! The loud bang of the impact suddenly sounded!
Many stones hit the city walls, smashing themselves to pieces;
The stones that fell into the crowd on the city were stirring up pieces of flesh and blood, causing considerable casualties to Liu Xianjun;
Many stones flew over the city and fell into the residential area behind the city wall, which immediately smashed the residential area into pieces, and the children's terrified cries suddenly rang out loud.
Seeing that the huge tortoise shell formation formed by the opponent's attacking troops had entered the range of his crossbow, Zhang Fei immediately shouted: "Three-bow bed crossbow fired volley!"
The three-bow crossbows that had been ready to go were fired together. With a huge tremor, countless guns and arrows tore open the rain curtain and flew towards Cao's army outside the city.
In a blink of an eye, the gun hit Cao Jun's shield! Even the iron-covered shield could not withstand the terrifying power of the three-bow crossbow. Countless shields were knocked down, and the originally extremely rigorous tortoise shell formation seemed to have been stripped of countless tortoise shells at once!
Zhang Fei wanted this effect and immediately shouted: "Bowlman! Scare!"
The crossbowman who had been preparing for the arch of the divine arm had already been pulled down the trigger as soon as he heard Zhang Fei's order.
Only a loud noise from Weng was heard, and the rain curtain in front of him seemed to be blown away suddenly. Countless powerful arrows rushed towards Cao's army like locusts, and immediately defeated countless Cao's officers and soldiers who had temporarily lost their shield protection.
Cao's shield player quickly restored his military formation and continued to advance towards the city wall.
Liu Xianjun didn't have time to cheer for his victory, and his opponent's stone cannon car sent out a second round of bombardment, and countless stones fell down, arousing countless blood in the crowd!
