Chapter 708: Cheng/Duping (Middle)
"Kill~"
For many days, Wen Ping and others have been attacking Jiangzhou for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will slacken.
A Ming army suddenly came out from behind, and the soldiers who were on the night vigil didn't have time to react before they burst into the camp, and the terrible roar instantly spread throughout the camp.
"Enemy Attack~"
Fortunately, Wen hired the army very strictly, and the Ming army was unable to charge and kill in the camp before gathering to resist.
However, Liu Ba was killed from Jiangzhou soon after, and although Wen Ping was brave, it was difficult to support it alone, and the camp was completely broken.
Breaking into the camp, Liu Ba decided to look for Wen Ping, but first found Xiang Lang who was protected, and immediately turned his horse to kill him.
Liu Ba broke through the surrounding guards, and Lang shouted: "Xiang Lang, if you don't surrender at this time, when will you stay?" ”
As Liu Bei's important minister, Xiang Lang had met Liu Ba, and seeing each other at this time was really a unique feeling.
"Is that you?"
Liu Ba was silent for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
"Why did you betray Your Majesty?" Xiang Lang said hatefully.
"Betrayal?"
Liu Ba was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Although Ba is already a Ming general, he also tried his best to defend the royal side, but unfortunately he was defeated and captured. ”
After a pause, he added, "Just like you are now!" ”
"Phew! Traitor, dare to speak like this! Xiang Lang shouted to himself.
If it weren't for Liu's previous mercy, you would have been defeated a long time ago!
Liu Ba was furious in his heart, and shouted: "Liu Bei prides himself on being benevolent and righteous, but he is like abandoning his duties when he is crowned king, what about us? ”
Xiang Lang was silent for a moment, when he heard about it, he immediately went to the court to advise, but in the end, Guan Yu refuted him on the grounds that he was not allowed to interfere in His Majesty's family affairs, and he was demoted to his official position and fined his salary. Although no other thoughts arose in my heart because of this, I always felt a little unkind.
Seeing this, Liu Ba's face softened, and said: "There are only 20,000 soldiers in Jiangzhou, and they still can't be defeated, what are the chances of winning?" Besides, Chengdu may have fallen now, so why not fall early? ”
"What?"
Xiang Lang still didn't believe it.
Liu Ba said: "When Guan Yu left, you thought we didn't know? It's just that you can let him go, otherwise, hehe! ”
smiled coldly, it was self-evident.
Xiang Lang sighed and threw away the only saber that could be used to kill himself.
Liu Ba smiled on his face, waved his hand, and said, "Protect the Xiang military division, remember, don't be rude." ”
"Yes, General."
Xiang Lang was surrounded by groups, but he was not taken away, but stood in place.
"Aren't you afraid that Xiang X will be rescued?"
"Rescued?"
Liu Ba smiled coldly and rode away, at this time, he had already discovered where Wen Ping was.
Although Xiang Lang has surrendered, he still can't help but be full of anger when he sees such a move: dare to look down on me like this!
Then Xiang Lang found that the Ming army had the ability to underestimate them. I saw dozens of Ming soldiers around him, and the shield formation surrounded him in the middle, and two soldiers "protected" him on the left and right.
Liu Ba killed Wen Ping, but did not do it immediately, but also opened his mouth to persuade him. It's just that Wen Ping is different from Xiang Lang, he doesn't listen to him at all, and he fights hard.
Liu Ba had to besiege it with all his might, and in the end Wen was captured with all his strength, but he also killed several more sergeants.
"General Wen, why bother?"
Liu Ba really wanted to ask him what he thought, but looking at Wen Ping, who had passed out, he just sighed in the end.
After that, in less than a quarter of an hour, the camp of Liu Jun in Jingzhou was flattened. Liu Ba took Xiang Lang and Wen Ping, who had passed out, back to Jiangzhou.
When I returned to Jiangzhou, the sky was already bright.
When Wen Ping saw Chu Yan, his face was very calm, and he was not disappointed that he was captured.
"Is General Wen willing to surrender?" Chu Yan asked directly.
Wen Ping was silent for a moment and said, "If the general is willing to treat those wounded soldiers in the camp, Wen Ping is willing to surrender." ”
Chu Yan shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, General Wen. ”
Wen Ping frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"Ben won't be able to lie to you."
Chu Yan said: "No matter whether General Wen surrenders or not, the general will treat the wounded soldiers." Before, it was just the master of each other, and it didn't affect any of that. In addition, if General Wen is unwilling to surrender, the general will not do anything to you, but just ask you to stay here for the time being, and when the war is completely over, he will let you go. ”
"Really?" Wen Ping was surprised.
Chu Yan said: "If you don't believe it, you can see the after-effects." Besides, Chengdu is also fast. ”
Wen Ping couldn't help but be shocked, the so-called "soon", he naturally knew what it was.
Chengdu.
An afternoon passed quickly, and Huang Xu collected his troops and returned to the camp.
Liu Bei hurriedly sent people to the city to investigate the situation, and when he learned that the Ming army had really withdrawn, he also went to the city to take a look, and couldn't help but gasp: "Yuan Zhi, the Ming army really wants to destroy Chengdu City." ”
Xu Shu's face was heavy, and he said: "Your Majesty, the city wall is seriously damaged, and the ministers will repair it overnight to delay as much time as possible, and the rest can only look at General Chen." ”
Liu Bei nodded, didn't say anything more, just hurried back to the palace.
Night.
Xu Shu supervised the repair of the damaged city wall at the head of the city, but a small rumor quietly spread among the people in the city.
"Have you heard?"
"How could I not have heard that there was such a big formation during the day, and I thought that the heavenly gods were fighting, but I didn't expect that it was the Ming army attacking the city, and it was inevitable to destroy the city."
At the head of the wall, neighbors whispered to each other on wooden ladders.
"So what do we do?"
"We? Hey, the city wall is far away, what are you afraid of? Wait, when the Ming army comes in, we are all the people of Emperor Ming. ”
"You...... Do you want to be a traitor? ”
"Traitor? Bah! Emperor Ming needs us to be traitors? Not at all! ”
…… It's not that these actions haven't been discovered, it's just that the soldiers are also from ordinary people, how can they be too ruthless, after all, no one has come out. Moreover, it seems that it is also ...... Quite makes sense!
Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others also got the news, and they all felt depressed, but they were afraid of causing a civil uprising, so they didn't take any action in the end.
The next day, it was still early, and Liu Bei came to the city.
"Your Majesty!"
Where did Liu Bei care about these at this time, and then the faint firelight swept over the city, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”
Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "It took most of the night to clean up the city, and the repair has only been carried out less than halfway now. ”
"Less than half?"
Liu Bei was furious, but looking at Xu Shu in front of him, whose eyes were full of red silk, he couldn't say the words of reproach.
"That's it!"
Liu Bei's face was bitter and asked, "How long does Yuan Zhi think he can hold on?" ”
Xu Shu stepped on the city wall under his feet and said, "If the Ming army is still like yesterday, it will not be a problem for two more days." ”
Liu Bei heard the meaning of the words and said, "Could there be other changes?" ”
Xu Shu said: "Why did the Ming army give us time to repair the city wall? Except for other preparations, the minister couldn't think of what the reason was. ”
Without waiting for Liu Bei to think deeply, the soldiers on guard at the head of the city shouted: "Your Majesty, the Ming army has arrived." ”
Xu Shu looked out of the city, looked at the behemoth that was gradually approaching, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, just retreat!" ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's see what changes have happened to the Ming army, I don't think they will do it immediately." ”
Xu Shu thought about it for a while, felt that it was the same, and agreed. It's just that he was worried about an accident, so he motioned to the accompanying guards to form a defensive formation, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, dare to ask General Chen how he is preparing?" ”
Liu Bei glanced at him before replying, "Don't worry, it's today." ”
Xu Shu bowed slightly, then stopped speaking and looked out of the city.
Then in the early morning light, Liu Bei and Xu Shu both saw the difference between the Ming army and yesterday, and their faces couldn't help but change.
"This ......"
"Your Majesty......"
Both of them had doubts and asked questions at the same time.
Outside the city.
Gongsun Du looked at the extra behemoth, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad!" Those guys did a good job, and they waited in vain. ”
This new thing is called Thor's hammer. The reason why it didn't appear yesterday was because it had not been completely completed, and there was also a reason why Liu Bei thought.
After the formation, Huang Xu asked for orders: "Your Majesty, do you want to attack the city immediately?" ”
"Do it!"
Gongsun Du waved his hand very arrogantly and said, "Let me see if I can make a contribution in one fell swoop." ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the order was given, the hive and the missile immediately became powerful. Liu Bei and the others at the head of the city could only hurriedly go down to the city to hide, just like yesterday.
The difference is that after driving Liu Bei and the others down today, the attack spread three feet away from the city, which caused a large number of stone bullets and crossbow arrows to fly into the city. So that Liu Bei and others all changed color!
Especially Xu Shu, he shouted: "It's not good! ”
"Your Majesty, the Ming army asked us to relocate the people, and deliberately drove us out of the city, just for this moment! They're going to destroy the city with that new thing. ”
Liu Bei was also shocked, but he still had doubts in his heart: "That thing can really destroy the city?" ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you'll find out in a moment." Xu Shu replied quickly.
Liu Bei pointed to the falling stone bullets and said, "What can you do if you believe it or not?" Can we still go up to the city now to defend it? ”
Xu Shu choked, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Gongsun Du's guy is really insidious, one ring after another, it's really a last resort!" ”
