"Boom!"

A huge sound accompanied by dust and sand, the beacon tower standing on the bank of the Yangtze River was smashed by the Sichuan army's catapult cart.

The beacon tower lasts for more than a hundred miles, and cooperates with the Wei army in the mountain range behind the mountain range to attack and defend, specializing in dealing with the Shu army trying to land secretly, and is also responsible for monitoring the movements of the Shu army warships.

But the Shu army did not use the Wei army's beacon tower to monitor it. Thousands of warships of all sizes on the Yangtze River surface were majestic and magnificent on the shore of the north shore. The fixed stone generator on the warships aimed at the beacon tower on the shore and kept throwing stones!

Behind these catapult ships are warships carrying a large number of Sichuan infantry and cavalry, as well as naval combat boats responsible for guarding. Small boats specially designed to transport stones come and go on the water surface, shuttleing continuously to ensure the continuous firepower output of the catapult ship in front.

The Wei army's beacon tower was full of materials and towered on the shore, which was very powerful. Even if the Shu army surrounded the beacon tower, it would take a lot of effort. The troops, food, water sources, and weapons reserved in the beacon tower were sufficient to use. The Wei army seemed to be in a small city, which was as solid as a god.

If it is difficult to break with human power, just use more powerful force to throw a stone!

After several attempts by Yang Hu, the landing battle has been proven to be a huge loss in combat method, and the effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, Liu Chan installed the catapult cart on the warship, and then mobilized a large number of naval ships to guard and supply, and used the catapult cart to destroy the beacon tower.

You have a beacon tower of hundreds of miles, and I have a warship of hundreds of miles thrown stones. The Shu army can beat the Wei army, but the Wei army cannot attack the Shu army. It must be a bad feeling to be beaten passively. There is more stones thrown, but few hits. There is no way to achieve such poor accuracy, but the beacon tower cannot withstand the long-term throwing attack.

No matter the size of the stone, it always hits over the sky! Some hits the ground, some hits the ground, but some hits the walls of the beacon tower. It is a small pit. If the damage caused by large stones is even greater. Especially if dozens of stones hit the beacon tower at the same time, it feels like the earth is shaking and dizzy.

But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the part of the stones falling from the sky. The beacon tower is very high, which is to prevent the Shu army from siegeing ashore. It is the advantage of the beacon tower. There are very few places in the beacon tower that can block the stones falling from a high place.

The condescending ones turned into stones, where did the soldiers in the beacon tower hide? Some people moved slowly, they were smashed into meat paste on the spot, and the rest hid in the mezzanine of the stairs and dared not show up. When to throw them, the Shu army has no fixed time period. It would be too late to hide when you find that the stone fell down...

Curled up in the mezzanine, he could only sneak a glance outside through the shooting hole. Seeing the beacon towers collapsed one after another, it was his turn. How could the Wei army have the heart to hold on? He couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only quickly throw the beacon tower and escape while the Shu army stopped attacking.

But the Shu army did not take this trick and was still throwing it overwhelmingly. If the spirit did not destroy all the beacon towers, they would never give up.

After such a big disturbance, the Wei army in Huyang and Xinye had been alarmed. They investigated the situation along the coast more than a dozen times a day, but the news they got was the same. The Shu army threw stones every day, and they were very happy. Chen Bing was waiting for the beacon tower to be destroyed.

There was no beacon tower to curb the coast, but the mountain villages in the valleys were not enough to resist the Shu army. What's more, after the Wei army was transferred by Ma Long, they did not have enough ability to fight the Shu army in field battles.

What does it mean to have thousands of warships?

During the heyday of the Wei navy, this number could probably be reached...

Huyang is the barrier of Xinye. Huyang's defense line was built by Wei's general Ma Long, and it can be regarded as the most solid line of defense of Wei. Yang Hu led the Shu army to the north and returned here in a desperate situation. This line of defense is difficult to break on the front.

Therefore, Zhuge Shang proposed to open a gap from Wancheng and capture Huyang from the flanks, Xinye. But Liu Chan changed his mind and paid attention to the fact that the guardian of Wancheng was Du Yu, which should not be underestimated. The Shu army concentrated its troops in Wancheng, and the Wei army would do the same, so that if the two countries launched a decisive battle in Wancheng.

If you give it a try, the outcome is difficult to decide, not to mention that the Wei army can take a defensive momentum and avoid fighting. Could it be that the Shu army abandoned the main force of the Wei army in front of us and bypassed Wancheng to Xinye or Huyang? Obviously, this is a way to kill yourself.

At this time, Yang Hu made a suggestion about Huyang’s defense line, attacking head-on!

With the strength and supplies of the entire Jingzhou and even Jiangnan and some areas of Liangchuan, the Huyang defense line was completely destroyed on the front. This is a tactical consideration and a strategic consideration. It not only affects the military, but also expands to the entire world!

The Shu Han used the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty to attack Cao Wei, which was naturally open and upright. If the Wei army turned to another path because of the tenacious resistance, it would lose an opportunity to show the strong strength of Shu Han to the world.

To pacify the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty, what we need to recover is not only the land, but also the hearts of the people.

Liu Chan was very pleased with Yang Hu's proposal, and immediately launched a general attack according to Yang Hu's plan and vowed to break through the Huyang defense line and shock the people in the Central Plains!

In the small valley behind the ruins of the beacon tower, the most common sound that the Wei army in the mountain village heard every day was the faint rumbling sound. The soldiers of the beacon tower retreated, but the Shu army continued to attack. This was cautious, but wasn't it scared by the Wei army?

Fortunately, the attacks of the Shu army usually occur during the day, and there is no movement at night. After all, the 100,000 Shu army on the Yangtze River need to rest, and the Wei army in the mountain village can take advantage of this to have a safe sleep.

I suddenly heard a scream while sleeping soundly!

The Wei general stood up suddenly, but found that the sharp blade had cut into his body, and the familiar faces rolled down on the ground...

There were fires on several places on this side of the mountain, and there were no one to be outdone. There were more and more places to catch fire, and the fire became bigger and bigger. The shouts of killing were only a short moment. Then everything returned to tranquility, and only the fire burned continuously in the night wind.

"No, this is a mountain village that was attacked by the Shu army at night!" Wei general Liu Xiang led three thousand troops to the closest, ran out of the camp barefoot and looked at it, and was shocked!

After putting on his clothes and armor, Liu Xiang led his troops to rush to the nearest hamlet, preparing to support his own troops. There were a lot of troops everywhere, and although there were only a few hundred people alone, there were 10,000 or 20,000 people in one place. Even if the Wei army was generous, it would not have ruined so many troops in vain...

The Wei army ran for less than ten miles at night, and suddenly a fire broke out in the camp behind him! Liu Xiang hurriedly stopped seeing this, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh no, I'm trapped! Oh... Come back to help!"

"Dang!" With a gong, countless Shu troops emerged from all over the dark night, and greeted the Wei army like a storm, sword, short bow and hard crossbow. The Wei army was unable to defend, and was not sure about the enemy's situation. They immediately shouted bitterly, and they were killed and injured.

Liu Xiang waved his sword and bravely opened the way. He didn't expect that a general from Shu came to attack. He shot Liu Xiang on his horse with one shot!

As soon as the commander died, the Wei army had no leader. At this time, the Shu army lit torches around. But they saw countless dense armors of Shu army, and the flags were conspicuous. The swords and axes in their hands reflected the fire, and the murderous aura was full of murderous auras, which surrounded the remaining two thousand Wei troops!

The young general who assassinated Liu Xiang was wearing black armor, pointed the spear in his hand at the ground, and shouted coldly: "I am Liu Dong, the King of Xiang of the Han Dynasty! The entire Shu Han army is here, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

If you want to survive in this formation, you have to put down your weapons and surrender to the Shu army. The dozens of fireheads at the distance were obviously the Wei army's village, and the camp behind you also had the same experience. The Shu army rushed to the shore silently, but the Wei army was still assuming that the Shu army was struggling to attack the beacon tower.

With such a gap and situation, the two thousand Wei troops immediately abandoned their weapons and knelt down and surrendered.

"King Xiang, the Wei army is dealt with here, and we can turn to Huyang." A young scholar sat on the horse calmly, with a bookish look on his face, but a spear in his hand protecting him, looking at King Xiang Liu Dong and said.
