Phew!"

"boom!"

A stone crossed Danshui and fell to the wetland on the shore, making a dull sound.

Apart from throwing up some mud and water, not even a shrimp was hit.

Some of the Wei troops on Guan City stretched their necks out of the city to see where the stone fell, and then curled their lips in disapproval.

Judging from the reaction of the defenders, they must have been used to it for a long time.

In the past two days, the Han army began to throw stones here.

At first, it caused a commotion among the defenders.

Later it was discovered that these stones were basically scattered and their accuracy was extremely poor.

After two days, except for the occasional two or three pieces that hit the city wall.

The rest basically fell to the bank of Danshui without even touching the base of the wall.

It seems that the Han army's thunder chariots were not only inaccurate, but also not as powerful as the legend said.

What is like thunder coming to the world, its sound shakes the heaven and the earth, and it destroys everything it strikes...

Now it seems that it may be more reliable to "shock the world".

There is a strip of Danshui, and even the roar of Danshui can't cover up its loud sound.

If you are not prepared, you can naturally scare people.

But now that Wei is prepared, he will not be easily fooled.

"Guess how many stones the thief will throw today?"

Someone looked at the other side and asked with a playful smile.

"I bet ten dollars, no more."

Someone picked up the topic and his tone was relaxed and freehand.

At first, many people in Guancheng were panicked when they heard that Thief Feng had personally brought him here.

It wasn't until Wu Cishi arrived with reinforcements that people reluctantly calmed down.

But what people didn't expect was that the thieves from the other side had been here for almost a month. They were just stationed on the other side and had not even made a symbolic crossing.

If Feng Thief's commanding flag hadn't been stationary on the other side, there might have been someone in the Wei army at Caoqiao Pass who wanted to counterattack and test the situation.

Wei Bing, who was responsible for observing the situation on the other side of the city, was joking when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, someone spotted someone walking towards this side.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and saw that it was Wu Cishi patrolling the city. He was so frightened that he quickly reminded the other people to be silent.

Unlike Wei Bing who was in a relaxed mood below, Guanqiu Jian's face was very serious.

If you look carefully, you will find a trace of anxiety and worry hidden in his eyes.

He stood on the top of the city, looked at the other side, and asked:

"Is there any movement on the other side today?"

"General, it's the same as yesterday, just throwing a few stones."

While he was talking, he saw another stone flying in the air.

"boom"!

Passing by the border wall of Guancheng.

Guanqiu Jian looked towards the direction where the stone fell and remained silent.

Seeing the general's appearance, the people below were very eye-catching:

"General, there is no need to worry. In the past two days, the bandits have just wanted to scare us."

"Most of these stones fell on the shore. In the past two days, only three or four of them have reached the city."

"The piece just now is already the farthest one. Looking back, if the elixir water hadn't receded a little, they might have thrown it away from the shore..."

Before he finished speaking, another piece flew over.

"boom!"

This time, it landed on the city wall.

Even Guanqiu Jian felt a slight vibration under his feet.

The general who was about to say "I'm afraid they won't even be able to throw it to the shore" felt as if his throat was being strangled.

Everyone was silent for a while, then the general smiled and said:

"The bandit army was very lucky today. They were able to throw two pieces into the city..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another "bang" sound.

Another piece hit the city wall.

Guan Qiujian subconsciously looked at the general, focusing on his mouth.

The general had shut up a long time ago, and shut it tightly.

Sure enough, after waiting with bated breath for a long time, the next stone hit the wetland on the shore after the water receded.

Someone breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Guanqiu Jian finally spoke again:

"Don't despise the other side just because there is no big movement among the bandits. Since Thief Feng came out of the mountain, anyone who despises him will not end well."

Moreover, even those who did not despise him were still defeated.

This sentence is Guanqiu Jian's inner warning to himself.

The soldiers below can be ignorant, not ignorant, or self-deceived.

But as a general, you must not relax at all.

On the contrary, the longer the Han army remained quiet on the other side, the more worried he became.

Legend has it that Thief Feng was cunning and unpredictable in his tactics. He would either stay still or move to catch people off guard.

Not to mention that behind him, there was an equally famous Lu Xun, who personally led his troops to float on the Han River, blocking the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang.

Don't look at Guan Qiu Jian's extremely calm appearance now, that's because as a general, he must have an attitude.

But a few days ago, after receiving news about Lu Xun and Xiangyang.

Guanqiu Jian, who originally thought he had expected it, realized that he had imagined Feng Yong and Lu Xun too simply.

The Feng thief did not move his troops, but Lu Xun used lightning speed to surround Xiangyang.

Lu Xun's move was ruthless and unique. He took advantage of the Wu Kou navy and turned Xiangyang into an isolated city south of the Han River.

I don’t know if Peizhong can stop Wu Kou’s attack from the south.

If the defenders in Piaozhong are unable to defend Manshui and are eventually forced to retreat to Xiangyang, then Xiangyang will really have no room for maneuver.

Guanqiu Jian stood at the top of the city, looking at the other side, with his back to everyone, the worry in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

Just at this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind, and at the same time, someone shouted urgently:

"General!"

Guanqiu Jian turned around and looked at the person who came. When his eyes fell on the official document in the other person's hand, his eyes suddenly shrank.

For some reason, his heart suddenly sank.

The visitor came to Guanqiu Jian, handed over the official document, and deliberately lowered his voice:

"General, urgent message from Wancheng!"

Guanqiu Jian took it and paused for a few seconds on the official document. He did not open it on the spot, but just nodded.

The expression on his face did not change at all. He remained calm as he slowly put away the official documents.

Then he led people to patrol the city for a while before leaving.

When he returned to the handsome manor in the city, he suddenly walked a few steps quickly and didn't even know he had kicked over the threshold.

As he walked, he took out the official document, hurriedly opened it, and began to read it before he could sit down.

Before he finished reading, Guanqiu Jian's expression changed drastically and he sat down with his hands on the table.

Looking around, he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern:

"General?"

Guanqiu Jian closed his eyes, handed over the official document, and uttered a difficult sentence:

"The outskirts of Xiangyang have been breached by Lu Xun."

Fancheng and Xiangyang are only separated by a river. Even if Lu Xun surrounded Xiangyang, even if Fancheng could only watch, he could still watch anyway.

At least by looking and guessing, you can know the general situation of Xiangyang at any time.
