Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiujun only took three days to break through Wu County.

On the first day, the defenders of Wu County resisted fiercely, and the city did not give up any land.

On the second day, the powerful armed forces of that part of the tenacious clan suffered serious casualties, and the decline was already obvious!

On the third day, at the south gate of Wu County, when the siege battle entered the white heat, the Xiliang warriors who used the ladder to climb the city or the flying ladder rope were fiercely fighting with the Jiangdong army for control of the wall, and the mutation occurred.

A Wu County army that was sent to fight at the head of the city as a new force, after going to the city, under the orders of its leader, was behind the "own people" who were fighting on the front line!

It was Zhang Xiu himself who commanded the siege of the south gate. Since the army launched the siege of the city, Zhang Xiu's eyes have never left the city, and he has been observing the battle all the time. This piece has just made a difference, and Zhang Xiu immediately felt the opportunity to break the city.

Pointing to that section of the city wall, Zhang Xiu sent the general Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci originally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the West Gate, and after Zhang Xiu lifted the siege of the West Gate. He transferred 1,500 soldiers and horses from each of the 5,000 soldiers and horses to strengthen the army of Song Xian at the North Gate and the East Gate, and asked Tai Shici to bring the remaining 2,000 people to the South Gate under his command.

When Tai Shi Ci led an elite army to rush to the city, there was no longer a Jiangdong soldier in sight at the head of that section of the city wall, and the Xiliang soldiers in that area were jumping into the city wall one by one.

Opened the gap so quickly?

When Tai Shici led his troops to climb the ladder to the building, the green flag of the sun character in this section of the city wall had been cut off by the waist, and two other flags were re-erected.

One of the flags has Zhang Xiujun's totem logo, as well as the surname of Zhang Xiujun, an ordinary general. But on the other pole, it was a flag that did not bear any Zhang Xiujun logo. The surname embroidered on it is also a surname that Zhang Xiujun's wave of siege generals does not have - Yuan!

Seeing this extremely strange flag, Zhang Xiu's brain short-circuited for a full five seconds.

I don't think I've seen this flag before!

The familiar background color of the flag, the slightly familiar totem logo, and this familiar surname.

Could it really be Yuan Yao's straw bale prince? Was it he who broke the balance of offense and defense in this stalemate?

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu's face to show doubts, Li Feng, the personal general behind Zhang Xiu, stepped forward and stood up, and said, "General, this is Yuan ...... Yuan Yao, Yuan Gongzi's banner! ”

The doubts in Zhang Xiu's heart landed, and he squinted and continued to look at the battle situation on the city.

In just a moment, seeing the vigorous Tai Shici jumping on that section of the city wall first, Zhang Xiu's sword-stroking posture that Zhang Xiu's right hand had been maintaining finally moved.

Before drawing his sword, Zhang Xiu paused for another three seconds, but soon Zhang Xiu regained his resolute and resolute look, and his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword.

The sword was unsheathed, and then it slashed down!

All the war drums beat in unison for a while, and Li Feng and Cao Xing behind Zhang Xiu immediately jumped off the platform, and each led the elite soldiers to participate in the siege!

Go with the flow!

Yuan Yao and Xu Sheng, who had avoided Zhu Zhi's search for the assassins, did not give up their decision to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", in fact, Yuan Yao and Xu Sheng, who had witnessed Zhang Xiukeng's feat of killing and burying him alive at the head of the city, strengthened their determination to oppose the water.

For Yuan Yao, the reason why he turned against the water was because he was worried about his life. The reason why he turned his back on Zhang Xiu to vote for Sun Ce was because he was afraid that his life would fall into the hands of Cao Cao. At this time, the life and death of Wu County and even the entire Wu County is my business, when my family Huainan lost my master, I didn't run away, who wants to bury Zhu Zhi by himself!

For Xu Sheng, although he did not join the army, out of his good impression of Jiangdong and Sun, Xu Sheng initially stood on Jiangdong's position. But I'm sorry, Zhu Zhi and Jiangdong's wealthy families didn't give Xu Sheng a chance to serve Jiangdong and display his talents. Then there is no way, you have closed the door for me, and I can only go to Zhang Xiu.

Therefore, Xu Sheng's behavior cannot be called anti-water at all, Jiangdong does not tolerate me, so I can only do this.

Historically, Xu Sheng moved to Jiangdong very early, but throughout Sun Ce's period, Xu Sheng did not join Sun Wu. It wasn't until Sun Quan took over his brother's position that Xu Sheng was discovered and reused. But now, history has been inserted into the bar by Zhang Xiu.

Although he was also rejected by Zhang Xiu at first, after Xu Sheng thought about it, his senses for Zhang Xiu were diametrically opposed to those for Zhu Zhi.

Put yourself in your shoes, if Xu Sheng is Zhang Xiu, he will also not be able to trust Yuan Yao's surrender. Because if this is really a trap, Zhang Xiu will have to suffer a defeat similar to Cao Cao's Battle of Puyang.

What's more, as everyone knows, Yuan Yao is a person who has a gap with Zhang Xiu and betrayed Zhang Xiu once. For this kind of person, Xu Sheng himself will never believe it.

Since he can understand what Zhang Xiu did, Xu Sheng naturally will not change his original intention. Especially in the past few days, Xu Sheng has also seen the image of a decisive lord from Zhang Xiu, and this is exactly the type of lord that Xu Sheng hopes for as a person who excels in martial arts!

What Xu Sheng didn't know was that there was another person in Wu County who wanted Zhu Zhi to concentrate his troops out of the city to fight when Zhang Xiu first arrived in Wu County, so as to consume Zhang Xiu's army and avoid Zhang Xiu's troops from attacking Lou County, Haiyan and other counties. But it's a pity that this person's identity is slightly special, unlike Xu Sheng, who still has the opportunity to meet Zhu Zhi.

After this person learned the news of Zhang Xiu's defeat of Song Xian, he immediately judged that this was Zhang Xiujun's plan to lure the enemy. However, Zhu Zhi, who was preparing for a larger-scale battle out of the city, was busy with military affairs, which made this person eat the closed door.

This person is one year younger than Zhu Zhi's adopted son Zhu Ran, and he has not yet reached the crown, and his name is Lu Xun.

Having said that, although Yuan Yao and Xu Sheng are two people with completely different circumstances and aspirations, they both have the same goal at this moment and are willing to use the same means to achieve this goal.

Unable to establish contact with Zhang Xiu, Yuan Yao and Xu Sheng could only give up the plan to cooperate with the outside world, and after assassinating Zhu Zhi to no avail, Yuan Yao and Zhu Zhi no longer dared to act rashly. waited until Zhang Xiu began to attack the city, and finally decided to defect directly in front of the battle!

Yuan Yao did not have many people under him, and there were only a dozen or so of his close henchmen he brought from Huainan. And Xu Sheng's side can only produce a dozen relatives and friends, and the two together have only thirty people. It was a little reluctant for such a few people to help Zhang Xiujun open the city gate, but it was more than enough to help Zhang Xiujun open a gap behind the city wall.

The one guarding the south gate was Zhu Zhi himself, the Taishou of Wu County. When he saw Yuan Yao suddenly defect without warning, and dozens of Xiliang soldiers jumped up to the city one after another, Zhu Zhi's face turned pale.

At this time, it is completely impossible to send troops to plug the gap. The Xiliang soldiers who have established themselves on the city wall will not take the initiative to jump off the city. But even though he knew it was useless, Zhu Zhi still sent the only elite under his command - the Taishou Mansion Guard.

But the actual combat effectiveness of this guard, which is all from the military, is only on par with ordinary Xiliang soldiers.

When Tai Shi Ci flew up to the city, he was slightly taken aback in his heart. The battle situation on the city wall was not as he thought, dozens of Xiliang soldiers were squeezed into a foothold by hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers on both sides. On the contrary, some strong men in cloth with red strips of cloth tied around their heads and arms, led by two strange young men in military uniform, assisted the Xiliang soldiers in dealing with the defenders on the city wall.

Tai Shi Ci was a little confused, and Zhang Xiu didn't tell him that there was still Neiying in the city from beginning to end. However, it is completely certain that these people are friends and foes, and the reason why this piece can open the gap must be because of these people's defections.

At present, although the main elite soldiers led by himself have not yet entered the city, but looking at the martial arts of the two young men in military uniform, Tai Shici immediately changed his booking tactics, took out the strong bow on his back, and faced the side of the city tower.

At this time, there were already a lot of archers on the castle tower for this situation, but these archers were limited by their own level and the situation of the mixed battle between the enemy and the enemy on the city wall, and they did not play much effect.

But in Tai Shici's opinion, these archers are too much of an eyesore. Besides, the core of the siege is to take the tower, and Tai Shici is determined to reduce the trouble of capturing the tower before his soldiers come up.

Just as Tai Shi Ci was standing in his position and had just mounted the first feather arrow, he saw a young archer on the castle tower aiming at him.

Tai Shi Ci could have released his arrows before the young man released the arrow, but Tai Shi Ziyi, whose archery skills had gradually improved, still waited for the young man to release the arrow, and first tilted his body slightly to avoid it, and then let go of the bowstring.

The young man with the bow was too young after all, like most beginners in archery, his first reaction after releasing the arrow was not to hide his body shape and position, but

Subconsciously look at whether the arrow shot has hit.

Tai Shi Ci was sure that he would dodge the young man's arrow after shooting his own arrow first, but that would be too bullying. So Tai Shici planned to let this young man die with more dignity.

There is no doubt that one of the boy's arrows missed. At the same time as seeing his arrow dodged by Tai Shi Ci, this young man was hit by Tai Shi Ci's first arrow shot since he opened the bow today!

Although there is mercy in archery, Tai Shi Ci does not have the slightest softness in terms of strength. This arrow can pierce armor. Within a distance of 30 paces, you can pass through your chest!

After Tai Shi Ci released the arrow, he didn't even look to see if the young man was killed with one arrow, not only because of the habit he had developed over the years, but also because he saw more Jiangdong archers aiming at him.

There is no way, in order to facilitate the bending of the bow and archery, Tai Shici's armor is specially made, which is very different from the ordinary armor of Zhang Xiujun's soldiers. Now it has attracted unwanted attention, and this is also something that cannot be helped.

Tai Shi Ci does not have the same rapid shooting skills as Cao Xing, but he is not slow to shoot arrows, especially in the high head of the accurate head, the strength is great, basically every arrow must be hit, and the arrow will take his life!

When a middle-aged man in general armor appeared on the city tower, Tai Shi Ci's sharp eyes and hands were quick, and he almost immediately found the aim, and when the middle-aged general noticed the ape-arm god Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci just let go of the full bowstring!

The only pillar of Wu County, Wu County Taishou Zhu Zhi Zhu Junli died in battle.

His death in battle undoubtedly announced the fall of Wu County.
