Wei Yan wanted to cry, he was wronged. He also wanted to know where the cannons came from.
This was because Wei Yan was also hit by two cannons.
"Bang Bang Bang!" The sound of cannons was getting louder and louder. The intensity of the cannons was also getting bigger and bigger.
If Wei Yan's previous bullets were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, then the bullets thrown by these cannons were like the hammer of the Grim Reaper.
"3000 cannons, this is the power of 3000 cannons!" Only Zhang Zhao, who had been in Cheng De for a long time knew.
Wei Yan's cannons were 1000 small cannons.
The Red Coat Camp was also equipped with 3000 cannons. However, Wei Yan didn't bring the 3000 cannons because it was a long distance raid. He only brought small cannons for convenience.
But now, the cannons that were thrown out were the power of 3000 cannons.
Liu Mang had a Red Coat Camp near Cheng De? Xiahou Yuan was puzzled.
But looking at the direction where the cannons fell, it was above the Ying River. How could it be possible to bring the cannons to the water?
That's right, Liu Mang really did bring the cannons to the water.
Now, the one who was pouring cannons towards Cheng De was none other than the Admiral of the Great Han Navy, Gan Ning Xingba. He brought his two Sovereign Class Battleships and opened fire towards the city.
These two Sovereign Class Battleships were First-class Battleships. Each battleship had more than 100 cannons. These two battleships had 200 cannons.
Among them, 3000 cannons occupied the majority. This was bigger than the two Red Coat Camps.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must not have an accident!" When Gan Ning arrived above the Ying River and saw Cheng De City, Xiahou Yuan's flag was already on the city walls.
Gan Ning was angry and immediately let the two Sovereign Class Battleships open fire.
200 cannons poured down on Cheng De City.
"Hm? Red Coat Camp? " Gan Ning looked through his binoculars and saw a red clothed battalion. Gan Ning knew that both the army and the navy had cannons. The army was the red clothed battalion while the navy was their warship.
"But why is the Red Coat Camp flying Cao Jun's flag?" Gan Ning thought he had seen wrongly.
Wei Yan's Red Coat Battalion's cannons fired at Gan Ning's Sovereign class.
The accuracy of this shot was quite high. It actually landed on the deck of the second ship.
"Reporting! Ship No.2 has sent a signal. It's under attack. Two dead and three injured on the deck!"
"That's not our Red Coat Battalion!" Gan Ning was sure that Cheng De City was about to fall. Gan Ning was very clear about where Cheng De City was, it was the industrial zone of Yangzhou.
Eighty percent of the cannons in Yangzhou were made here.
If Cheng De City was lost, the cannons would fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Are you crazy?" Wei Yan was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Sovereign Class Battleship on the Ying River.
It must be known that in this era, naval battles were still fought on inland rivers. Even the most powerful ships were only 200 tons.
One Sovereign Class ship weighed more than a thousand tons, so one could imagine its size.
Wei Yan also saw the cannons of the Sovereign Class Battleship pouring down on Cheng De City.
He originally thought that the Red Coat Battalion was the strongest. He did not expect the Red Coat Battalion to be compared with the Sovereign Class Battleship. It was really funny.
Wei Yan originally wanted the Red Coat Battalion to retreat first because he could not afford to lose them.
But he did not expect that the cannons would fire.
"Your hand is too cheap!" Wei Yan wanted to die.
"Send the flag signal, all ships turn around!" Gan Ning ordered his men.
Cheng De had gone all out in the bombardment just now. The Monarch's side of the cannon was already red, and its cooldown was about to take some time. If the bombardment continued, the cannon might explode.
"Yes!"
The two Sovereign Class Battleships turned around again.
"General, they seem to be leaving?" Wei Yan had never seen a Sovereign Class Battleship before, so he thought that the two battleships were leaving.
In the beginning, Wei Yan felt a little lucky. If only the two warships had left. They must have seen that Cheng De City had fallen, so they decided to leave.
But before he could rejoice, he saw the battleships on the Ying River approaching the shore again.
"Not good!" Wei Yan subconsciously shouted. "Pass down the order, all cannons retreat!" Wei Yan's bad premonition became reality.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Sovereign Class Battleship on the other side roared again.
Under this round of cannons, Wei Yan's Red Coat Battalion was directly destroyed by half.
Wei Yan's heart was bleeding. He ordered his men to retreat.
However, the cannoneers of the Red Coat Battalion were also angered by the Sovereign Class Battleship. They were all cannoneers.
Many cannoneers stopped running and turned around to aim.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Wei Yan's Red Coat Battalion began to counterattack.
"Fire the cannons. Everyone get off the deck and prepare to collide!" The soldiers of the Yangzhou Navy on the Sovereign Class Battleship were already prepared. Except for the cannoneers, everyone else was ready to collide.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The cannoneers still landed on the Sovereign Class Battleship.
However, they were not able to break the deck of the Sovereign Class Battleship.
"Exploding shells?" On the Sovereign Class Battleship, Gan Ning and Ling Chao looked at each other. The exploding shells were used to kill people on a large scale.
When the shells exploded in mid-air, the barbs inside could clean up a large area of enemies.
You should have used solid shells against ships and buildings.
If you had used solid shells, the Sovereign Class Battleship would have been injured for the first time.
In fact, Wei Yan also wanted solid shells. However, he did not have any solid shells left. These exploding shells were the only ones he had left.
The exploding shells were very useful against people. However, they were not as effective against warships. Except for those exploding shells that could cause damage to warships, the rest of the exploding shells could only tickle the Sovereign Class Battleship.
Gan Ning's Yangzhou Navy was not someone who would not fight back. On the other side, Wei Yan's Red Coat Battalion had just sent the cannoneers to the Sovereign Class Battleship.
The Sovereign Class Battleship's cannoneers came to return the favor.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The cannoneers were still in mid-air. Wei Yan knew that his Red Coat Battalion was finished.
"Boom! Boom!
Boom! "The place where the Red Coat Battalion was originally located was simply too horrible to look at. There were pits everywhere. There were cannoneers everywhere. Corpses were also lying on the ground.
The worst was the cannoneers. The cannoneers on the Sovereign Class Battleship had exploded along with their exploding shells.
"Extend the cannoneers! Support the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! "Gan Ning also saw the Ferocious Cavalry chasing after the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"Yes!" The two Sovereign Class Battleships extended the cannoneers once again and poured the cannoneers on the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
Suddenly, the Ferocious Cavalry soldiers were thrown off their horses. This time, the Sovereign Class Battleship used exploding shells. When the exploding shells landed in the middle of the Ferocious Cavalry soldiers, not to mention the soldiers, even the horses were directly torn apart.
"Is Wei Yan crazy?" Xia Houba also thought that this was Wei Yan's doing. He was already very dissatisfied with Wei Yan and became even more dissatisfied.
"Young General, Young General! This does not look like Wei Yan's cannoneers! " When they rushed to Wei Yan's camp, the Red Coat Battalion was nowhere to be seen. It was a scene of hell.
The Red Coat Battalion that Wei Yan had worked so hard for so many years was directly destroyed by Gan Ning.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry also rushed into Cheng De City.
"General Ling Chao, the rest is up to you! Release the boats! "Gan Ning said to Ling Chao.
"Go!" Ling Chao went to the deck of the Sovereign Class Battleship. There were already more than a thousand people on the deck of the Sovereign Class Battleship, and two thousand soldiers and horses. They all boarded the boats of the Sovereign Class Battleship and headed towards Cheng De City.
Do not underestimate these two thousand people. The first time they went out to sea, they relied on these two thousand people and almost destroyed a small country.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The whole situation was like a drama. There was a complete reversal. Previously, it was Liu Mang's last struggle, but now, it was Xiahou Yuan who was surrounded.
In front of him was the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, behind him was the Yangzhou Marine Corps.
Under the pincer attack from both sides, Xiahou Yuan could only retreat.
Now, Gan Ning did not know what was going on in the city. He was worried about Liu Mang's safety. When he saw the situation clearly, he was afraid that the cannons would come again.
"Your Majesty!" Ling Chao and the others finally found Liu Mang.
"Ling Chao?" Liu Mang's memory was not bad. Even if Ling Chao had become like an African, Liu Mang still recognized him.
"You are finally here!" Liu Mang said with a wry smile. If they were a step late, he was afraid that Liu Mang's soul would have returned to his hometown.
Liu Mang's reinforcements were Gan Ning's Navy and Wei Yan's Artillery Battalion. They were the biggest threat. The other soldiers and horses were not of much use to the Red Coat Battalion. They could only use the cannons to deal with the cannons.
As for Liu Mang's other Red Coat Battalion, one of them was defending Shouchun, while the other one was crossing the Yangtze River. There was no time to mobilize them.
After thinking about it, Liu Mang could only mobilize the Navy. That was why three Sovereign Class ships went from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the White Horse Lake, Hongze Lake, and Yingshui.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and killed their way into Chengde City.
Now that the two armies have met, Liu Mang can be considered to be completely safe.
After escaping from death, Liu Mang's heart was filled with anger.
"Wei Yan!" Liu Mang immediately became furious. All of this was caused by Wei Yan.
"Zhang Liao, carry the horse for me!" Liu Mang shouted at Zhang Liao.
"Your Majesty?"
"I want to kill him with my own hands!" Liu Mang said fiercely.
"Hyah!" Liu Mang rode his horse and rushed out. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry also chased after him. Ling Chao's Navy had to clean up Chengde City and protect the warehouse, so they stayed behind.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Xiahou Yuan could only grit his teeth and said.
Xiahou Yuan's army was retreating step by step.
The Divine March Army could not withstand the pincer attack of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Marine Corps.
In addition, they were bombarded just now. Their morale was already low.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"General Xiahou, since you are here, there is no need to leave!" Liu Mang said coldly to Xiahou Yuan.
"Who dares to hurt my father!" Xiahou Ba also rushed out.
The Tiger Leopard Cavalry had suffered heavy losses. Now there were less than a thousand people following Xiahou Ba. However, Xiahou Ba was worried about his father's safety.
"Ba 'er, hurry up and leave!" Xiahou Yuan suddenly roared at Xiahou Ba.
"Father, I am here to save you!"
"What a good father-son relationship! Since both of you are here, then neither of you can leave! "Liu Mang was embarrassed by the Xiahou father and son today.
"Kill!" Without needing Liu Mang to say anything, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry charged out.
They had been disgusted by the Tiger Leopard Cavalry for the past few days. Now was the time for revenge.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry chased after the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. The Tiger Leopard Cavalry was already exhausted.
The final outcome was obvious.
Soon, the Xiahou father and son were surrounded, just like Liu Mang and Liu Ye.
"Surrender!" Liu Mang said to the Xiahou father and son.
"Pei!" Xiahou Ba spat at Liu Mang, "Bullying with numbers, what kind of hero are you?!"
"Haha!" Liu Mang laughed. Why didn't Xiahou Ba say anything when the Tiger Leopard Cavalry was bullying the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?
"Liu Mang, little brat, if you have the ability, then fight me one-on-one. Do you dare!" Xiahou Ba scolded.
"Haha!" Zhang Liao and the others beside Liu Mang laughed.
"What? Are you scared? "Xiahou Ba looked at Liu Mang and said with disdain.
"Yes, I am scared. I am scared that if I accidentally use too much strength, I will kill you!"
"Liu Mang, little brat, how dare you humiliate me. Give me your life!" Xiahou Ba said as he charged at Liu Mang.
This time, no one stopped Xiahou Ba. The stun gun in Xiahou Ba's hand was aimed at Liu Mang.
"Ba 'er!" Xiahou Yuan wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Liu Mang didn't move at all. This is a good opportunity! Xiahou Ba's eyes were filled with joy. As long as he killed Liu Mang, they could still turn the tables.
Unfortunately, this was only Xiahou Ba's thought.
Liu Mang didn't even use a weapon. He directly grabbed the stun gun in Xiahou Ba's hand and said, "Come down!" With a sudden force, Xiahou Ba couldn't defend himself. The stun gun was taken away and he fell from his horse.
His face was covered in dust. When he raised his head again, the stun gun was already pointed at his neck.
A few Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry went forward and captured Xiahou Ba.
Liu Mang walked towards Xiahou Yuan and said, "General Xiahou!"
"If you want to kill me, then kill me. The Xiahou family doesn't surrender!" Xiahou Yuan was very straightforward.
The Divine Marching Corps and the second battalion of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry were gone. Xiahou Yuan was now useless to Liu Mang.
"General Xiahou, as long as you tell me where Wei Yan is, I will let you and your father go!"
Xiahou Yuan didn't speak. He was disdainful. However, Xiahou Ba, who was on the other side, spoke.
"Are you serious?"
"A monarch's words are not a joke!" Liu Mang said to Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Yuan alone was useless in the war. He and Cao Cao were now in a white-hot situation.
Cao Cao had deployed nearly 200,000 soldiers in Hefei and Lujiang. These soldiers couldn't be defeated by Xiahou Yuan alone.
As long as Cheng De didn't fall into the hands of Cao Cao, Liu Mang had the possibility to turn the tables. Not to mention, Wei Yan's Red Coat Battalion had been completely sent to hell by Liu Mang.
"Wei Yan left towards the west gate of Cheng De half an hour ago!" Xiahou Ba said to Liu Mang.
"West gate, someone come and chase after him!" Liu Mang was about to chase after Wei Yan.
"Hey, Liu Mang, you said you would let us go!" Xiahou Ba was still shouting.
"When I confirm the news, I will let you go!" Liu Mang gradually went away.
…
Cao Chong's carriage arrived at Xu Du.
As soon as his carriage arrived at the gate of Xu Du, someone sent a message to Cao Pi.
"Cao Chong is back!" Cao Pi was playing chess with a purple-haired and blue-eyed youth.
"Cao Chong is indeed intelligent, but he is soft-hearted. With this, he won't be able to achieve great things!" The purple-haired and blue-eyed youth said to Cao Pi.
"En!" Cao Pi nodded.
Using Madam Huan to threaten Cao Chong was the first step of Cao Pi's plan. The second step was to seize the provisions that were sent to Liaodong and send them to Woodcutter County's Xiang City and Nan Dun to deal with Cheng Yu's inquiry.
That was why Zhou Buyi saw a warehouse full of rations.
"Xiang City's provisions have been moved by Cheng Yu!" Cao Pi said. Cheng Yu took the initiative to send Xiang City's provisions to Cao Jun's camp.
Cao Pi was tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall. At least one side of the wall had to be repaired. This way, no one would be able to find out. Now that Xiang City's provisions were in a passive position, even if the remaining provisions were sent to Liaodong, it was inevitable that there would be problems.
"Liaodong's provisions can be obtained from the nobles in Liaodong!" Sun Quan said to Cao Pi.
Those nobles in Liaodong had always wanted to integrate into Cao Jun's camp.
After all, they had followed Yuan Shao to fight Cao Cao. This hatred was not small.
Now, it was a good time to take advantage of them.
"En!" Cao Pi nodded, "Since those nobles of Liaodong are willing to pay, then let's have them pay!"
Cao Pi's heart was really black. The amount of provisions in Liaodong was not a small number.
Sun Quan did not speak. "Second Young Master, now that Cao Chong is back, it's time to make a move!"
Cao Pi's hand that was about to place a chess piece stiffened. "Now that Cao Chong is back and Zhou Buyi has offended Cheng Yu, he will definitely lose face in front of father. Our goal has been achieved. Why do we have to go to that step?"
"Second Young Master, you can't do it?" Sun Quan asked Cao Pi.
Cao Pi stopped placing his chess piece and stared at Sun Quan. "Who the hell are you?"
Sun Quan also stopped playing and looked at Cao Pi. "Nothing else. I'm just a loser!"
A loser? Cao Pi had also inquired about Sun Quan. He knew that Sun Quan lost in the struggle for power with his brother. If Sun Ce did not plead for mercy, Sun Quan would have been executed by Liu Mang. Later, Liu Mang sent Sun Quan to Xu Du. Step by step, Sun Quan came to Cao Pi's side.
Cao Pi still looked at Sun Quan coldly. "Come and teach me how to do things!"
A cold light appeared in Cao Pi's eyes.
"I don't dare!" Sun Quan lowered his head and said humbly to Cao Pi.
"You have to remember that a dog should do what a dog should do. If you overstep your authority, then you can only eat dog meat!" Cao Pi said very indifferently.
"I understand!" Sun Quan lowered his head and said in fear. His eyes revealed a kind of haze. He knew that Cao Pi really wanted to kill him.
"Alright, you can leave now!" Cao Pi waved his hand at Sun Quan.
"I'll take my leave!"
Seeing that Sun Quan had left, Cao Pi said, "You really found out that he has connections with Yangzhou?"
"Every word is true!" A person came out from the courtyard. If Sun Quan was here, he would definitely recognize this person. Wasn't it Sima Yi?
"Second Young Master, do you want to make a move on him?" Sima Yi asked.
"No, he's still useful. Let's keep him for now!"
After leaving Cao Pi's residence, Sun Quan recovered. Looking at the huge Cao Residence, Sun Quan was no longer the humble person from before. "Things have already come to this. It's no longer something that you, Cao Pi, can stop! Imperial hegemony! I, Sun Quan, also want a share! "
… …
Prince Wei's Residence
When Cao Chong arrived at Xudu, the first place he went was Prince Wei's Residence because his mother, Madam Huan, lived there.
With ease, Cao Chong found Madam Huan.
Madam Huan was lying on the bed. It seemed that she was really sick.
"Mother, mother!" Madam Huan seemed to hear her son's voice in a daze. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. She was really sick and confused. Chong 'er was now in Runan. How could he come back?
"Mother!" Until Madam Huan's hand was held by another pair of small hands.
Only then did he react and slowly open his eyes. "Chong 'er?!"
"Mother, this child is unfilial. I couldn't take care of you when you were sick!" Cao Chong said to Madam Huan.
Madam Huan's heart warmed at first, but then she became anxious. "Chong 'er, who told you to come back? You, quickly leave this place!"
Madam Huan wasn't stupid. She had just fallen sick and Cao Chong came to her. Someone must have informed him.
"This child won't leave. This child wants to take care of mother!" Cao Chong also knew that Madam Huan had implicated him, but she was his mother.
"Silly child!" Madam Huan smiled bitterly.
"Madam, it's time to take your medicine!" Just as the mother and son were talking, a maid came over and said to Madam Huan.
"Mother, let me feed you!" Cao Chong took the medicine from the maid's hand. When no one was looking, he pierced a silver needle into Madam Huan's body.
The silver needle was still silver. Only then did he pass it to Madam Huan. "Mother, take your medicine!"
Madam Huan frowned after taking the first sip.
"Mother, is it bitter?" Cao Chong asked.
"It's not bitter, not bitter!" Madam Huan shook her head.
"Hmm?" Cao Chong sighed softly. "Pah, pah, pah!" His mouth was dry and uncomfortable.
"What medicine is this? Why is it so bitter?" Cao Chong usually treated people with gentleness and elegance. However, when it came to matters concerning his mother, he couldn't tolerate the slightest bit of carelessness.
He couldn't help but glare angrily.
"Young Master, please forgive me. Young Master, please forgive me. This is the medicine that the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital prescribed for Madam. They said that it would nourish Madam's body!" There were all kinds of tonics in the medicine, so the taste was naturally bad.
"Mother, how can you endure such bitterness?"
"As long as you are here, it doesn't matter how bitter it is." Madam Huan smiled at her son.
"Second Young Master has arrived!" Just as the mother and son were still reminiscing, Cao Pi arrived outside the courtyard.
"Is Madam's body better?" Cao Pi hadn't entered the room when his voice came from outside.
"Much better. Many thanks for Second Young Master's concern!" Madam Huan said to Cao Pi.
"What are you talking about? Madam can also be considered half my mother! Yi, Brother Chong, when did you come back? "Cao Pi pretended to be very surprised as he asked Cao Chong who was in the room.
Cao Chong's heart turned cold. Wasn't it you, Cao Pi, who called him back? However, on the surface, Cao Chong still respectfully greeted Cao Pi. "Chong greets Second Brother!"
"You and I are brothers. There's no need to be so distant!" Cao Pi looked at Cao Chong with a smile. If one didn't know, they would think that the relationship between the two brothers was very good.
After chatting for a while, Cao Pi asked about Madam Huan's health. Cao Pi found an excuse. "Madam is unwell, so I won't disturb you. Brother Chong, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you want to go out and catch up? I can give you a welcome dinner!"
Cao Chong looked at Madam Huan who was lying on the bed.
"Go, Chong-er!" Madam Huan waved her hand at Cao Chong.
"Then Mother, you should rest first!" Cao Chong nodded and walked out of the gatehouse with Cao Pi.
In the Wei King's residence, the two were really respectful to each other. Slowly, they arrived at Cao Pi's residence.
"Brother Chong, look at me. Don't you feel a sense of familiarity? When you were young … "Cao Pi was still in a state of reminiscing.
"Second brother, there's no one here now. You and I don't need to act anymore!" Cao Chong said to Cao Pi on the side.
"Brother Chong, what are you talking about!" Cao Pi was still laughing.
Seeing that Cao Pi was still pretending, Cao Chong coldly said: "If second brother is still like this, then Cao Chong will leave!"
"Wait!" Cao Pi stopped Cao Chong.
"Second brother is finally willing to talk to Cao Chong?" Cao Chong ridiculed.
"Brother Chong, there is no gap between you and me. Why are you so distant?" Cao Pi asked.
"Second brother, what is my mother's illness?" Cao Chong asked Cao Pi.
"She's not sick!" Cao Pi shook his head and said.
"She's not sick?" Cao Chong frowned. If Madam Huan was fine, why was she still so weak?
"Imperial Doctor Xu said that Madam Huan's body is weak. She needs to use electric medicinal cuisine to repair her body. This medicinal cuisine is thirty percent poisonous. It will nourish her body, so naturally she is weak!" Cao Pi said.
Cao Chong nodded his head. If Madam Huan's illness was caused by Cao Pi, Cao Chong will naturally not spare him.
"Second brother, I don't want the position you want. I just want second brother to stop disturbing us mother and son!" Cao Chong looked straight at Cao Pi and said.
