Following the indiscriminate bombardment of catapults, there was a dense rain of arrows from three-bow crossbows. On the west gate tower of Yiling City, there was almost no Wu army standing.
Xu Sheng, the general of the Wu army who was hiding in the city gate tower, was trembling with fear. He had been fighting for decades and had never seen such a scene before. This isn't a war, it's obviously a one-sided massacre! No wonder Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and others who had rushed to fight in the past were completely silent when they heard about the task of guarding Ximen. I bet this is a trap!
The Han army's siege troops took the opportunity to rush down the city. The vanguard Han Zong rushed to the front with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
Looking at this scene, Li Xian can swallow an egg in his mouth, how violent is it! I feel relieved when I think about the Han army in the late Ming Dynasty.
Xu Sheng hurriedly asked the soldiers hiding in the gatehouse to come out quickly, and asked the reserve team below the city to come up quickly.
Zhao Tong looked at the Wu army running on the tower, smiled coldly, and waved his hand, "Each cannon is fired freely, and the crossbows are used to clear the Wu army on the tower."
Following his order, the catapults and three-bow crossbows made a roaring sound and smashed hard towards the city head.
Xu Sheng felt bad and hurried to the gatehouse. Wu Jun was not so lucky. Suddenly there was a mass of casualties.
Han Zong rushed to the moat with his assault vehicle, and the soldiers with long ladders next to him quickly laid the ladders on the moat. Han Zong shouted and asked the soldiers to push the cart up the long ladder and rush towards the city gate slowly.
Xu Sheng braved the rain of arrows and picked up bows and arrows with the remaining Wu troops to shoot at Han Zong and the others. Immediately attracted crazy revenge from the Han army's crossbows. A crossbow arrow flew Xu Sheng away. This is the end of a generation of famous generals.
Wu Jun suddenly became confused, abandoned the city wall and ran down. Under the city wall, Wu General Ling Tong hurriedly led his troops to stop the defeated troops, and personally led them to the tower. A burst of crossbow arrows scared them back. Dongwu Tiger General Ling Tong looked at Xu who was leading the army next to him, with a crossbow arrow still inserted in his body. Sheng, the shrimp made cold sweat break out on the forehead.
Wu Jun no longer dared to charge up the city wall, and Ling Tong was so anxious that he went crazy. He kept urging the soldiers to rush towards the city wall.
There was a heavy bang at the city gate. Ma Zhong, the Wu general who was guarding the city gate, called on the soldiers to block the city gate with stones packed in sacks. Several Wu soldiers who blocked the door with their bodies were so shocked that they vomited blood. Ma Zhong hurriedly ordered the soldiers behind him to replace them.
Lu Xun looked at all this with a confused look in his eyes. He didn't understand why the Wu army soldiers, who had always been good at fighting, looked so embarrassed when facing Li Xian. The once high-spirited generals are no longer what they used to be. Even though he was familiar with military literature, he seemed so at a loss. It turns out that all the tricks are a joke in the face of absolute strength.
He kept mobilizing various troops, and the soldiers around him kept cheering. Secretly ordered Quanzong to escort Sun Deng and quietly go out from the east gate.
Lu Xun asked Kan Ze to follow them. Kan Ze shook his head, "Li Xian, in order to avenge Liu Bei, Guan Yu will not let you and me go. If we escape today, Lord Wu will still hand us over to Li Xian tomorrow. If we don't fight today, Damn your reputation."
After hearing this, Lu Xun was silent for a long time: "I regret that I caused this disaster of killing my family and exterminating my clan."
Kan Ze said sarcastically: "I'm tired of Boyan." Lu Xun shook his head, "It has nothing to do with the public. After the plan was revealed, it will be difficult for me to live. Li Xian admired Guan Yunchang very much and would obviously not let anyone go in the battle of Jingzhou. "
"Look at how he wanted to kill Ziyu and his two sons regardless of Kong Ming's feelings. It shows his resentment for participating in the battle of Jingzhou."
Kan Ze: "Let's fight to the death with Li Xian here today." After saying that, he led a group of soldiers and rushed to the city gate.
Lu Xun looked at Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong: "For the sake of long-term peace between the two countries, please die here with Xun." Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong looked at each other and said blindly: "I will obey the governor's order."
Lu Xunbian led his soldiers to the west wall, but Ling Tong still could not lead his men to the wall. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Ling Tong, but Ling Tong had no choice but to lead his troops to charge against the city wall. As a result, a crossbow arrow brought him down from the city wall and hit Lu Xun hard.
Lu Xun's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he shouted and rushed towards the city wall. The guard was so frightened that he hugged him tightly.
The city gate finally fell down with a dull "clang" sound. Han Zong jumped over the obstacle and chopped down several Wu soldiers guarding the city gate with his sword. The Han army pushing the ram cart also took out the swords and shields on the ram cart, and charged like a city gate.
Seeing that the situation was over, Ma Zhong and Pan Zhang hurriedly led people out of the east gate to Jiangling and went to Mi Fang.
The vanguard of the Han army took the opportunity to rush into the city. Kan Ze fought with Han Zong with his sword, beating and cursing at the same time. Han Zong ignored him and took advantage of the opportunity to capture him.
Lu Xun personally led an army to come to the rescue, and for a time he drove Han Zong's troops back to the city gate. At this time, Zhao Tong's crossbow arrows arrived at the city gate, and the Wu army was frightened and fled in all directions. Han Zong took advantage of the situation and occupied the city gate.
Large groups of Han troops entered the city one after another, and the remaining Wu troops surrendered. Those who were unwilling to surrender fled frantically from various city gates.
Lu Xun was surrounded by Han troops. The hatred in the eyes of every Han soldier made him feel terrified. The remaining Soochow soldiers gathered tightly around him. He shouted to the Han army on the opposite side: "Please come forward and speak to Li Hanxing."
The Han general opposite looked at him contemptuously, "Are you worthy?" After speaking, he raised the repeating crossbow in his hand and shouted, "Shoot..."
A cloud of crossbow arrows flew past, Wu Jun fell to the ground one after another, and Lu Xun looked at the crossbow arrows on his chest in disbelief. The look in his eyes slowly disappeared. A generation of military gods passed away.
After Li Xian arrived at the scene, he took a riding crop and was about to whip the Han soldier. He saw that the young general looked stubborn and had tears in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart. "What's your name?" he asked warmly.
"Junhou, his name is Zhou You, and he is the son of the old Zhou general Cang." The sergeant next to him hurriedly replied.
"Ah." Li Xian hurriedly threw the riding whip out. "It turns out to be Queen Zhongliang." He also understood why Zhou You wanted to kill Lu Xun. It's just a pity that he originally wanted to hand over Lu Xun and Kan Ze to Chengdu. Now he finally realized what Yang Gu said: "Nine times out of ten things will go wrong as you wish."
Li Xian ordered the generals to clean up the battlefield and ordered Lu Xun's body to be packed up and escorted to Chengdu together with Kan Ze.
As soon as he turned around, he found that Xu Zhi was holding Tai Shiheng in front of him. Li Xian was overjoyed and quickly asked Xu Zhi to open Tai Shiheng's shackles. Apologize continuously.
Tai Shiheng didn't say a word, and Li Xian didn't care about him and pulled him away. I walked all the way and explained to him the situation in the army. This made Shi Heng extremely depressed.
When he arrived at the commander's camp, Li Xian asked Tai Shiheng to help him write a statement and battle report. Tai Shiheng wanted to refuse, but looking at Li Xian's long knife that was still bleeding, he didn't dare to resist.
After capturing Yiling, Li Xian organized his army in Yiling City to prepare for war, waiting for the peace envoy from Soochow. Based on his understanding of Soochow, the leader of the Sun Wu regime would agree to his peace terms. Because these are a group of shameless people.
Sure enough, a few days later, Zhao Tong came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Soochow wants to see you!"
