Chapter 143: Jiangzhou Sima Qing's shirt is wet

The river murmured to the northeast, and several wooden boats came to the turbulent water, because the wind direction was north at this time, so the sails were not raised, but there was a long bow in the stern of the boat that was constantly shaking, and the soldiers at the head of the city became nervous when they saw that the boats were about to approach the city of Huankou.

The Chen army fort in the upper reaches of the turbulent water has been attacked by the Zhou army yesterday, and the crew of the ships coming from there at this time must be Zhou soldiers, and the defenders are speculating that there is a Zhou general who will take a boat to observe the city defense of Huangkou?

It is very likely that the river is located in the southeast of the city, and its river is very close to the city, especially in the southeast corner of the city, and the river flows not far from the corner of the city wall.

"You say, will there be a general Zhou Jun on the ship?"

"Why don't we rush out and stop the warship?"

A soldier suddenly came up with a tempting guess, if there was really a general of the Zhou army on the boat, and his own side shot him with a flurry of arrows, it would be a great achievement.

However, the other soldiers did not have any heartfelt expressions when they heard this, if this proposal had been changed a few days ago, many people might have been eager to try, but now everyone has been frightened and dare not go out of the city to fight with the Zhou soldiers.

The Zhou army attacked Caishan one day, broke the Jiangzhou naval army and captured Sangluozhou one day, regardless of the rain, one day to attack Xunyang Village in the west of Huangkou City, and then one day to attack the fortress on the south of Huangkou City and on the edge of Huangshui, the officers and soldiers who went out to reinforce suffered heavy casualties, and the officers and soldiers of the Chen army were already frightened, and no one dared to speak out of the city to fight.

The soldiers under the one-legged bronze man are the evil ghosts drilled out of the underworld, and they can fight on rainy days.

In the face of the ships getting closer and closer, no one has the courage to go out of the city to fight, now that the Zhou army has come to the city, Huangkou City is afraid that it will not last long, if he kills the Zhou general, in case the one-legged bronze man wants to settle the account after the city is broken, he will really be killed by the whole family!

The city of Huangkou can not be defended, this idea is not only one person, the murderous record of the Zhou army in every battle is placed there, yesterday the Zhou army shot into the city, it is said that the letter in addition to persuading surrender, but also stamped with the seal of the new Cai Taishou.

What does this mean? Jiangbei Xincai is also finished!

When the Zhou army attacked Caishan, Xincai was still in the hands of Chen Guo, but the other party had not yet attacked Xincai, and the main force of the navy army marched eastward, indicating that the well-defended Xincai was nothing to them.

Xin Cai really didn't last a few days and it was over, which is in stark contrast to the government's pre-war statement that "Xin Cai is solid, and there is no problem in guarding the last month", Xin Cai fell, and there was no threat to the flank of the Zhou army, and the mouth would be far from the city?

As long as you are not a fool, no one will risk their lives to attack for a reward, and even if they are rewarded for meritorious service, they will not be able to escape the revenge of the one-legged bronze man.

Who is the one-legged bronze man? Who else can there be, the governor of Huangzhou in the Zhou State, and now the commander of the Zhou army under the city, Yu Wenwen!

The atmosphere in the city began to become depressing, the soldiers were just ready to shoot arrows, no one brought up the topic of going out of the city to fight, and the reward for meritorious service was no longer attractive to everyone, and even the focus of concern was how to save their lives and their families after the city was broken.

As the boats drew nearer and nearer, the soldiers at the head of the city began to bend their bows and arrows, and at that moment they saw the situation on board and began to make an uproar.

"It's... It's your own people! ”

"Don't let go of the arrows, it's your own people!"

The people on the boat were the defenders of the Chen State in the upper fortress, and there were many people in the city who knew each other, and they could recognize each other.

It is not good to not let the defeated soldiers enter the city, although they have lost the battle, but they have contributed to the country, if they are rejected like this, it will chill the hearts of the majority of soldiers.

It is not possible to open the city gate and let people in, in case there are Zhou soldiers mixed in it, and then the city gate will be opened and it will be over, so you can only let the other party enter the city one by one in a hanging basket, and after screening, it is determined that they are all their own talents.

There are a lot of hanging baskets, these defeated soldiers quickly went to the city, after identification, screening, it is determined that they are the defenders of the upper fortress, now they are bloodstained, one by one dull eyes, sitting on the ground in a daze, as if frightened, even a little trembling.

The soldiers gathered around and asked, "How did you come back?" ”

"Didn't the Beiyu kill you?"

"How's the fortress?"

"Is there anyone else alive?"

The defeated soldiers replied dejectedly, after the Zhou army conquered the fortress, let them clean the battlefield, dig pits and bury the corpses, and then let them come back to spread the word.

Seeing this, the general on the side secretly said that it was not good, he was afraid that the words of the defeated soldiers would affect the hearts of the defenders, so he hurriedly shouted the order and ordered people to take the defeated soldiers away.

"Let them speak, let them finish talking!"

The crowd was furious, and the general made concessions, and one of the defeated soldiers plucked up his courage and said to his comrades: "The northern captives... Beiyu said that if you surrender, you won't kill, and if you defend it..."

"What will happen to the guard?"

"Tell me about it!"

The defeated soldier looked at his companions, and then spoke, "Beiyu said... Surrender without killing, hold on... Slaughter the city. ”

"Ahh

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the general's face turned pale: it is said that the one-legged bronze man is very cruel, and he must be able to do it!

The defenders of Huangkou, many soldiers' families are in the city, seeing that there is little hope of defending Huangkou City, everyone is most worried about the safety of their own family after the city is broken, and now that the other party has spoken, what should I do next?

Now that the rain has passed, the sun is shining on the body, but there is no trace of warmth, and the soldiers are thinking about "surrender and don't kill, and slaughter the city if you defend it", and their morale is becoming more and more sluggish.

"Beiyu, it's Beiyu who is coming!"

The shouts rang out, startling many people like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the soldiers flocked behind the women's wall and looked out of the city in horror.

A large number of cavalry of the Zhou army roared by the turbulent water outside the city, and from time to time shot arrows tied with paper into the city, although the killing range of the bow during the battle was only more than 50 steps, but if it was only thrown regardless of the killing, the arrows it shot could still shoot farther.

Many arrows were fired at the top of the city, and the governors struggled to stop the soldiers from removing the paper tied to the arrows without permission, but the shouts of the soldiers outside the city made them cover their ears and steal the bell:

"Surrender or kill! Home security!"

"If you refuse to surrender, the whole family will die!!"

Not only in the south of the city, but also in the west of the city, there were also Zhou cavalry shouting to the city, and even on the river north of the city, there were also Zhou warships as close to the shore as possible, and the soldiers on board shouted the same words.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrow!! ”

In the west of the city, Chen Yan, the assassin of Jiangzhou and the king of Yongjia, roared and asked the defenders to release arrows to disperse the cavalry of the Zhou army galloping outside the city, and looked at the soldiers around him whose eyes flashed, his thoughts were in turmoil.

The enemy soldiers approached the city, and the mouth was in danger, all this was not a nightmare but had turned into a reality, and the defense line he had tried his best to organize was easily broken through by the Zhou army.

What to do, what to do? If Huangkou is lost, Jiangzhou will be finished...

"Huang Sima, you immediately send people everywhere to supervise the battle! No rumors, no one is allowed to surrender! ”

"Yes, the subordinate will receive the order."

Jiangzhou Sima Huang Xi took the order and turned to leave, he was not wearing armor but a green shirt at this time, and his back was gradually soaked with sweat.
