The order was laid, the drums of war roared again, and the horn of the attack sounded again, piercing the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soldiers of the Wei army, who were greatly encouraged, were like tigers and wolves out of the cage, carrying a meritorious fighting spirit and rushing towards the broken north gate of Jiangling like a tide.
Xiang Yu took the lead, leading 10,000 iron horsemen to roll up.
On the front line of the north gate, the Chu army was already in a state of panic and collapse.
The city gate was broken, and most of the city walls around the city gate were also collapsed, when the Chu soldiers got up from the ruins, when the dust and fog in the sky gradually fell, they were horrified to find that the huge city gate was gone, and outside the city, thousands of Wei troops were surging towards the open city gate.
The city gate has been lost, and the Wei army's iron cavalry will easily attack the city, what will they use to resist!
The morale of the army collapsed, and the surviving Chu army scattered violently, and those who could run immediately threw away their armor and looked at the city to flee, while the wounded and those who were desperate simply knelt on the ground, ready to surrender to the Wei army.
Xiang Yu was like a golden lightning, and when he first struck out of the open city gate, he tore the two enemy soldiers in front of him to pieces in an instant.
Ten thousand iron horsemen poured in like a tide, through the doorway, into the city of Gangneung, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out today, the iron hooves crushed, the blades slashed, mercilessly slashed at the fleeing enemies.
"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone......"
Huang Zhong shook his head and sighed bitterly, he didn't dare to fight again, so he had to turn over his horse and flee south.
From the open gate, the bloody road stretched all the way to the interior of Gangneung City, and the earth-shaking shouts of killing shook the entire Gangneung City.
The vanguard cavalry, tens of thousands of infantry troops, had poured into the city one after another, and the potters then led their own guards to kill them unhurriedly.
After passing through the city gate and climbing the half-damaged North Gate Tower, the potters immediately swept away, and the entire Gangneung City was in full view.
In the eagle's eyes, his soldiers chased and killed those fleeing enemies like wolves, and the streets of the bustling Gangneung City were full of swords and swords.
Jiangling City, the second largest city in the Chu State, was finally trampled under his feet.
As soon as Jiangling was lost, Liu Biao could be said to have lost the most core area of Jingzhou, and in addition to fleeing to the four counties of Jingnan, the only way to flee to Jiangxia was to meet Sun Ce.
And if the potters captured Jiangling in advance, they could wait for their work and concentrate all their efforts to deal with Sun Ce's Wu army who rushed to participate in the war.
"Happy, happy—" The potter was so excited that he laughed wildly and rode his horse into the city.
When the potters entered Jiangling, Liu Biao at this time was leading more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, running on the avenue to the north gate.
Originally, Liu Biao was taking a nap in the palace, and he originally thought that the veteran Huang Zhong was stationed at the head of the city, which was enough to resist the attack of the pottery merchants, and he could sit back and relax.
But halfway through sleep, Liu Biao still couldn't rest assured, so he had to put on his battle armor in person, hurriedly left the palace, and prepared to come to the north gate to take charge in person.
Just when Liu Biao hadn't gone out, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and the ground under his feet shook violently, as if something was suddenly broken.
Liu Biao's body was shocked, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he was in a hurry to stride out of the palace, and at this time, the scout rushed over, and reported in horror that the north gate had been broken.
"The North Gate is broken?" Liu Biao's body shook violently, his eyes were dazed, and he thought that his ears had heard it wrong.
How strong is the city wall of Gangneung, how many days of thunder bombardment by the pottery thief can't shake it even a bit, how can it suddenly break?
Of course, Liu Biao didn't believe it, so he hurriedly turned over and led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north gate to help.
Along the way, the shouts of killing rose like a tide, shaking the heavens and the earth, making Liu Biao's mood more and more uneasy, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
When he turned the corner and entered the avenue leading to the north gate, the old face was petrified in an instant, and his expression froze in a moment of stunnedness.
In the field of vision, the north gate has been opened, and a large number of Wei army iron cavalry poured in like a tide.
"How is it possible, how can the city gate be shattered, how is this possible!" Liu Biao fell into a state of panic, unable to understand everything in front of him at all.
You know, his city gate is made of iron bars, even if it is a heavenly thunder cannon, its strength is stronger than the city wall through earth and stone, how can it be broken?
Countless routs fled to this side, and Liu Biao shouted loudly, even if he killed a few people with his own hands, he couldn't stop the rout.
Behind Liu Biao, more than 10,000 Chu troops, seeing that the north gate was broken, were afraid of the arrival of the Wei army's iron cavalry, and they were all frightened and scattered.
In front of him, countless Wei troops were still pouring in, and at the other end of the street, the iron cavalry of the potters had swept in, and the red royal flag of the Great Wei was so stabbed that Liu Biao's heart was about to be broken.
"Potter, this dog thief, how did he do it......" Liu Biao's heart was dripping blood, and his mind was repeated, echoing with the unsolvable confusion.
No matter how confused he was, he had to accept the cruel fact that the North Gate was broken and the fall of Gangneung was a foregone conclusion.
The defeated Huang Zhong had already rushed over, and he was ashamed and shocked to tell Liu Biao how the potters had made an unprecedented giant city-breaking hammer and smashed the North Gate in one fell swoop.
"Giant ram?" Liu Biao woke up suddenly, but his mind was still stuck, imagining that it wasn't a huge city-breaking hammer to break through his north gate.
Liu Biao's will to resist also collapsed at this moment.
"King, the Wei army's iron cavalry has poured into the city, Jiangling City can't hold it anyway, while the Wei army has not yet entered the city in a big way, let's quickly retreat to the south gate, and retreat to the Yangtze River by boat." Huang Zhong shouted urgently.
Liu Biao, who was lost and depressed, had no intention of resisting, so he could only turn his horse's head gloomily and flee south with the current of the rout.
Before escaping, Liu Biao remembered that Princess Cai Rou was still in the palace, so he ordered his eldest son Liu Qi to take a team of soldiers and horses back to the palace first, rescued Cai Rou out, and went to meet on the water.
A group of defeated Chu troops were defeated in two and left in a hurry.
Behind him, Da Wei's iron cavalry was already rolling and chasing.
Liu Biao didn't dare to turn back all the way, and fled to the South Gate Wharf non-stop, boarded the warship in a hurry, and fled to the Yangtze River with a group of routs.
While Liu Biao fled to the south gate, Liu Qi led a team of soldiers and horses and hurried to the palace.
Just when he was about to enter the palace, he found behind him that a large number of Wei troops were about to catch up.
"Cai's slut, always speak ill of me, and want to marry her niece to the second brother, obviously trying to support the second brother, but now I am desperate to save her, am I stupid, just through the hand of the pottery thief......"
As soon as his thoughts turned, a trace of coldness flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, so he ordered the deputy general to lead the army into the palace, close the palace gate to keep the princess, and he himself did not enter the palace, but fled towards the south gate.
Liu Qi walked first on the front foot, and the potter on the back foot had already slaughtered the horses.
The pottery merchant estimated that Liu Biao should not have expected that he broke his north gate, maybe he was still in the palace, and if it was timely, maybe he could kill Liu Biao.
Just when the potters arrived, the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses who were thrown into the palace by Liu Qi hurriedly closed the palace gate.
How could the potter give them a chance, with a long roar, the prancing horse ascended the high steps, and the long knife was handed out, slashing through the gap in the gate that was about to close.
Click!
The knife fell, and several enemy soldiers who wanted to close the door were instantly cut into several pieces by the potter, and blood clots flew wildly.
Immediately afterwards, the potter's war knife was pulled, and the palace gate, which had been half closed, was easily opened.
The king of Great Wei, whose blood-soaked body was like a demon god, stood impressively in front of the palace gate, instantly shattering the dog gall of the defenders, and frightened them into a busy wind.
"The women stay, and those who bring the children are all killed." The potter's sword was crossed, and he shouted sharply.
Behind him, Jing Ke gave an order, and hundreds of personal guards poured into the palace like tigers and wolves, but when they saw those eunuchs and guards, they were all killed.
The pottery merchant led the team on horseback, led a team of soldiers and horses, and went straight to the inner palace of Liu Biao's puppet palace.
Click!
With a loud bang, the potter kicked the closed door to pieces.
"Ahh
In the dim hall, the frightened cries of women immediately sounded, and when they looked up, they saw a group of maidservants, who were surrounding a richly dressed noblewoman, and a group of women shrank in a corner of the hall, all trembling.
"The king, that noble lady is Liu Biao's stepwife, Princess Cai." Wei Yan, who followed in, pointed to the noble lady and said.
Cai's?
Historically, she is also a famous woman, of course the potter knows that she was originally the daughter of the Cai family, because Liu Biao married this woman in order to marry the Cai family.
As a result, the Cai family married his niece to Liu Biao's second son, Liu Cong, causing the Cai family to support Liu Qi and snub the eldest son Liu Qi, which eventually divided Jingzhou.
The potter walked forward slowly, and the eagle eyes looked at Cai Rou, only to see that nervous and restless face, which also looked quite beautiful, the figure was slender but plump, and there was a mature charm all over the body, looking at the age, in fact, he was in his early thirties.
"Liu Biao, you are very lucky......"
A sneer rose at the corner of the potter's mouth, and he shouted: "What are you doing here, this king will let you live, get out." ”
As if they had been pardoned, the maidservants hurriedly bowed their heads and fled from both sides of the potter.
In the end, only Cai Rou was left, standing in the corner tremblingly, looking at a loss.
"No wonder you can't help but be fascinated by Liu Biao, and even forget the reason that the country is restless...... "The pottery merchant sneered at the general, his fingers picked up Cai Rou's pointed chin, and he wantonly admired her face.
Cai Rou's delicate body trembled, her face changed, and her face suddenly became ashamed and angry.
The dignified concubine of the King of Chu, the daughter of the Cai family, what a favor, how noble, but now, she is so frivolous by the potter, like a prostitute, picking her chin and appreciating it wantonly, how can Cai Rou not feel unprecedented shame.
"Despicable martial artist, take away your dirty hands, Hugh has to be rude to this palace, and ask your king to come to see this palace!" Cai Rou scolded sharply and moved her head away.
Obviously, Cai Rou didn't know that what was standing in front of her was the king of Great Wei.
Moreover, she thought that with her identity, as a potter of the King of Wei, she would definitely treat her with courtesy.
