Chapter 1017

The stalls in the north are too big, Wang Xuan is not following the military route after all.

As someone who came from the Rabbit's family, an infrastructure madman, Wang Xuan is also a crazy advocate of infrastructure.

This led to the fact that after being ruled by the wealthy Yuan Shao and stationed by the more affluent Liu Bei, after several years of great development, instead of being able to support a long-term war, it became stretched after only a few months of fighting.

As for this, it is still because of the premise that there are railways and rivers for the transportation of grain and grass materials, otherwise...

After taking Guanzhong, you will stop.

As for the war in the later period, in fact, Qian Liang relied entirely on the support of those who "destroy the family and serve the country" in Hanzhong and Yizhou.

For this, Wang Xuan expressed his heartfelt thanks and sent his family on the westward journey.

Without these local incomes, Wang Xuan has already obediently retreated back to continue to develop dullly.

"No, no more money?" Gan Ning looked at Wang Xuan with a gaping mouth, with an expression of disbelief.

"Impossible!" Gan Ning shouted loudly: "Not to mention anything else, just because I raided seven cities this trip, I don't know how much gold, silver, jewelry and coins were looted, not to mention the entire Jingzhou. Yizhou, I know that place, everyone is so rich!"

Everyone also looked at Wang Xuan with puzzled faces.

"Do you think that as long as you have money in your hand, you can change materials with money?" Wang Xuan continued with a sneer, "Don't arrows need to be cast, and weapons and armor won't be damaged? You should think the components are blown by a strong wind!"

"Just the military rations we eat, do you think the same as what Cao Jun eats?"

"The food we carry with us is camellia noodles, which are high in oil and sugar, and we carry dried meat with us. What is Cao Jun eating? Otherwise, why is our logistics easier and more efficient than theirs!"

"No matter how much food and money you plunder, can it be turned into military supplies immediately?"

"How did you get here in front of the fighting power!"

Every time Wang Xuan spouted a word, Gan Ning became more honest, and in the end he could only show an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"In addition, you don't need to build Yizhou. It's so hard to walk in that broken place. All the roads have to be rebuilt, mountains and rocks have to be rebuilt, water conservancy facilities have to be built, and large-scale mining of well salt and various minerals has to be reintensified. To lure the barbarians from the mountains to Sinicize, everything needs money!"

"Hurry up and mobilize everyone after finishing your work there. It just so happens that the scaffolding here is about to be completed. When the time comes to take Xiangyang in one go, there can be no delay no matter what."

After the meeting, everyone mobilized, except for Guan Yu and Guan Ping who stayed with Wang Xuan outside Xiangyang City, everyone else went to help Gan Ning.

Sun Ce retreated hastily, and moved all the population in the southern part of Jiujiang County as he left. Cao Zhen was so frightened that he couldn't shrink back, and watched Gan Ning blatantly transport the population.

Half a month later, under the city of Xiangyang, the 20-meter-tall scaffolding was completed, and it was in the shape of an 'worker' as a whole. It crossed the moat, and one end faced the city head, and the distance was only about 20 meters away.

The top is covered with a large number of wooden boards, and the front part near the city wall is simply covered with iron boards to prevent Cao Jun's fire attack.

It is said that during this period of time, under the auspices of Xiahou Dun, I have tried various methods to destroy the scaffolding, such as boulders, fire attacks, surprise attacks... But all of them are useless. The scaffolding itself is hollow, and even if the boulder hits somewhere, it will hurt It's just an accessory, just replace it, and the fire attack is even more nonsense, it's all iron and can't burn at all.

The surprise attack, after being ambushed once by Guan Yu and others, Xiahou Dun reluctantly gave up the plan while clutching the wound on his stomach. If there is no way, if the city can resist with the help of the army, go out of the city, that is to deliver food.

At this moment, behind the female wall made of large steel plates on the scaffold are archers shooting at each other, and under the scaffold are fierce generals lined up.

Wang Xuan stood in front, and behind him were Guan Yu, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Wu Anguo, Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, Guan Ping, Pang De, Zhou Tai, and Huang Xu. The air rose, and behind them were neatly arranged infantry phalanxes.

Under Wang Xuan's instruction, the rumbling drum beat directly to the song "Jiang Jin Jiu". Wang Xuan believes that no one can beat me in my BGM.

Staring dumbfoundedly at Guan Yu's group of ten people below the city wall, Xiahou Dun's three men's lips trembled, their faces flushed, and there was a hint of crying in their voices, "Show face!"

"Six masters are not enough, and they even mobilized generals to support them."

"How can we fight this battle? Isn't it just that there are too many people bullying the few!"

"What shall we do?" Xu Chu asked in a deep voice.

Xiahou Dun's eyes flickered for a moment. He clearly understood the meaning of Xu Chu's words and wanted to run away. As for Cao Hong, his face turned pale at the moment. Obviously, he remembered the tragic experience of being attacked by four people last time.

It's not that Cao Hong is afraid of death, it's mainly because he's too aggrieved to die, and can't play a role at all.

The three of them looked at each other, and they could see what was going on in each other's hearts, Xiangyang couldn't hold on anymore!

Just as they were talking, the huge gantry crane started to run again, and iron ladders with a length of more than 20 meters were hoisted high towards the scaffolding.

Because of the defensive equipment such as rolling logs, stones, spikes, etc., it is impossible for scaffolding to be built directly on the city wall anyway. These are the last things that connect the city wall and scaffolding at a distance of 20 meters. Transported up, the siege battle is imminent.

Wang Xuan glanced at the top, it was not easy to build this thing in the end, Cao Jun at the top of the city would not just watch, he had to do something here.

"Brothers, there is no need to talk about these rebellious morals. Let's go together and kill me!" Wang Xuan suddenly pulled his neck and shouted.

Three people were separated to resist Xiahou Dun and the others, and the others simply threw off their arms and started killing wildly at the surrounding Cao soldiers. Dozens of people fell to the ground with one knife and one shot. Like Li in the middle, he vented all kinds of brutal 404 behaviors to his heart's content, and in an instant, the city was completely chaotic.

There is a critical point for everything. If Cao Jun can bear the damage caused by three generals of the level of qi release, then seven, it is really too frenzied.

The speed at which the soldiers climbed up the city wall through the horseway to replenish them was not as fast as killing them here!

In the chaos, the sound of "boom" and "boom" sounded continuously, and the 20-meter-long iron ladder completely connected the scaffolding and the city head.
