Although Wancheng's city wall is tall and strong, every time a large stone of several hundred kilograms hits the city wall, the Wei soldiers crouching at the top of the city will feel the earth shaking.
What's more, these huge rocks flew in one after another, and the battlements on the city head were broken into pieces.
Broken bricks and stones flew everywhere, and many Wei soldiers stationed at the top of the city were beaten to death by the flying bricks and stones.
Some of their heads were even smashed by large pieces of gravel and bricks.
There were also large rocks that fell directly on the top of the city, hitting a certain Wei soldier without any bias and smashing him to pieces.
Even the soldiers of the Wei army who were lucky enough to be unharmed were shocked to death.
Many large rocks flew directly into the city, smashing the buildings in the city to pieces.
The beams on some building floors were even broken, causing the entire building to collapse.
In addition, waves of fireballs flew into Wancheng City one after another, triggering fires throughout the city.
To the north of Wancheng is a mountain.
Lu Bu's Han army organized a special quarrying team to quarry a large amount of stone on the nearby hills, and then used ox carts to pull it there.
Explosive bombs are also continuously supplied from Tsukuya.
Lu Bu's Han army only bombarded but did not attack.
This unprecedented bombardment continued day after day.
All the defenders at the top of the city had already evacuated, leaving only hundreds of battered and mangled corpses.
During this period, Lu Bu ordered the two Tiger Divisions to split up and sweep around Wancheng.
They defeated Cao Wei's reinforcements one by one and killed nearly 20,000 enemy heads.
Those who were defeated were not counted.
When the bombardment entered the seventh day, a section of Wancheng's city wall had collapsed, the city head was completely in ruins, the city towers were gone, and the battlements were all "smoothed out."
In Wancheng City, Jia Xu ordered the defenders to put out the fire at the beginning, and he was able to restrain the fire from spreading to the whole city.
But as more and more fire bombs flew into the city, they struck here and there again.
In the end, it was out of control.
The fire burned for three days and three nights from the fourth day, and all the wooden buildings were completely reduced to ashes.
Those Wubao bunkers made of rammed earth and bricks have been smashed into ruins by hundreds of thousands of large rocks.
The Wei soldiers who had been hiding inside were naturally shattered and died.
However, Lu Bu still did not send soldiers into Wancheng, and continued to "bombard" Wancheng with thousands of giant trebuchets and large ballistae.
Until the tenth day, there was no sign of life in Wancheng.
At this time, Lu Bu ordered thousands of soldiers to march into Wancheng to search.
This Wancheng has turned into a hell on earth, full of ruins and dust, and the air is filled with the smell of corpses.
Occasionally, I found a few wounded soldiers wailing for help.
At the mansion in the middle of Wancheng, the soldiers searched in various ways and found the body of a high-ranking official.
Despite repeated verification and confirmation by the prisoners, they knew that this was the body of Jia Xu, the current Cao Wei Taiwei, known as the poisonous man.
Ten days, just ten days, Lu Bu captured Wancheng almost without a fight, or it would be more accurate to say that he destroyed Wancheng.
At the same time, Taishi Ci had stationed troops south of Xiangyang City, joined forces with the 5,000 Wei troops in Fancheng, and began to attack Xiangyang day and night.
However, there were nearly 10,000 defenders in Xiangyang City.
In the past ten days, the coalition forces of Cao and Sun had made no progress other than losing soldiers and generals and leaving behind two or three thousand corpses.
At this time, Lu Bu sent his main force of 70,000 troops eastward and took Yingcheng directly.
Another partial division of 10,000 people headed south along the Han River under the leadership of Qu Yi, and soon used five giant trebuchets to break through the "paper-paste Fan City".
Qu Yi's newly reorganized Xiandeng Battalion took the lead in breaking into Fan City.
At this time, half of the Fancheng garrison was besieging Xiangyang on the other side of the Han River.
After receiving the report, they hurriedly crossed the river with Taishi Ci's Wu army to rescue Fancheng, but it was too late.
When they crossed the Han River, Fancheng had already fallen.
Qu Yi formed a military formation outside the gate of Fancheng and faced off against Sun Cao's coalition forces face to face.
In order to boost morale, Taishi Ci rode a big horse and carried a halberd on his shoulders, and came to the front of the formation to yell and challenge.
Just when he was scolding happily, a knight flew out from Qu Yi's formation, and it was Yan Liang, the general.

Taishi Ci didn't recognize Yan Liang, so he shouted and asked him his name.
Yan Liang didn't respond, he just raised his sword and rode his horse to fight.
Taishi Ci originally thought he was an unknown person with mediocre martial arts, but after three or four rounds of mistaking the horse, he realized that the opponent was not easy to mess with.
His martial arts skills are not inferior to his own, and his bravery is even better than his own.
After fighting for more than ten consecutive rounds, Taishi Ci was unable to do what he wanted, so he feinted with his halberd, hit his horse and ran away.
Yan Liang was willing to give up and urged his horse to pursue him.
Qu Yi, who was in the rear, saw clearly and knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he mobilized the army to cover up and kill.
Seven to eight thousand Han troops rushed towards the nearly ten thousand Sun Cao coalition forces like a tide.
At this time, the latter's army was already disorganized and morale was low.
Soon Then he fled backward.
At this time, the Wu Army camp on the other side of the Han River was also filled with thick smoke and shouts of killing.
It turned out that Hao Meng, the defender of Xiangyang City, took advantage of the opponent's main force to leave, and dispatched the defenders of Xiangyang City to attack the Wu army camp where only four to five thousand soldiers remained.
And because the Wu Army camp was set up to attack Xiangyang, there were no solid defense facilities.
Hao Meng easily broke through the camp, and now he was charging and setting fire everywhere.
The Wu Army camp can obviously no longer be defended.
Taishi Ci saw this scene and knew that the fortress opposite had fallen.
Now that the Han army had arrived with reinforcements, and he had lost so many soldiers, conquering Xiangyang was already a dream.
Taishi Ci understood that his most important task at the moment was not to allow losses to continue.
After all, this was not a war against Wu.
Sun Quan would not blame himself for the defeat of this battle, but if he defeated all 20,000 troops, his future would not be good.
Thinking of this, Taishi Ci made up his mind and ordered to the scouts and soldiers around him: "Send my military order, and the whole army will retreat quickly along the Han River to Yicheng."
The withdrawal of Taishi Ci's Wu army did not matter to the state of Wu.
The Cao army who stayed behind was dumbfounded.
Now the general of Cao's army had been killed, and his soldiers had suffered huge losses.
The most important thing was the loss of Fancheng.
Less than half an hour after Wu's army withdrew, Cao's army completely collapsed.
Some fled eastward, and many more surrendered to the Han army in full force.
At the same time, the remaining thousands of Wu troops across the Han River were also eliminated.
Except for a few who fled southward along the Han River, most of the others were annihilated.
At this point, the siege of Xiangyang has been resolved.
After Qu Yi left thousands of defenders for Hao Meng in Fancheng, he took the remaining six or seven thousand cavalry to sweep through the cities and counties in Nanyang County that had not surrendered, and then returned to Wancheng in the north without stopping, along the Shang Yu The road goes to Wuguan.
At this moment, Cao Cao had just received the military report that Wancheng was massacred.
After reading the report, Cao Cao yelled anxiously.
If Lu Bu's army sweeps across the eastern part of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, all of his hundreds of thousands of troops will be trapped in the trap of Henan Yin and Hongnong.
A burst of severe pain emerged from Cao Cao's mind.
He groaned and passed out from the pain
