Chapter 271, Take the City
The offensive of the Xuzhou soldiers, wave after wave, no matter how many times they were repulsed, the offensive was still like a sea of tides, without any signs of stopping.
An Hour...... Two hours, unconsciously, it was noon, Kong Rong had the courage to climb the city tower again, the earth-shaking shout, as if all the brains were drilled into his ears, buzzing, deafening, if it were not for leaning on the battlements, Kong Rong was afraid that he would not be able to stand steadily.
On poetry and lyrics, he is in line, on splashing ink, he is also outstanding, Kong Rong is a great Confucian in the world, rich in learning, full of economy, mentioning his name, no one knows, no one knows, can be on the commander of the soldiers and horses to command the three armies, on the battlefield to fight and strategize, Kong Rong is not good at it.
People have long, and rulers have short.
Once on the battlefield, Kong Rong's role was very limited, and after only staying on the city wall for a while, Kong Rong's body was already shaking uncontrollably.
The sound of killing outside the city shook the sky, the blood-stained ditches under the city, the corpses were all over the field, the choking bloody atmosphere was suffocating, and there were fights everywhere.
The swords and guns flickered, the swords and halberds were ruthless, the dazzling cold light made people almost unable to open their eyes, the sonorous sound of the collision of soldiers almost shattered people's eardrums, the city wall was densely hung with people, the blades were shining, the arrows were flying, one after another dead corpses were like dumplings, falling off the city wall from time to time, screams came and went, and the whole world felt completely chaotic.
Kong Rong was dizzy, his ears were ringing, and he couldn't wait to leave here immediately, so it was best to find a place to hide.
"Whoosh..."
I don't know who released an arrow, and it almost wiped Kong Rong's hair and flew over, startling Kong Rong into a cold sweat.
Kong Rong didn't dare to stay for a long time, and under the protection of the soldiers, he hurriedly went down the city wall, and when he reached out to touch it, his back was soaked.
The fierce battle lasted until dark, and then gradually stopped, but after the turn of the day, the Xuzhou soldiers tirelessly launched a madness, although the city of Xixian was thick and the grain and grass were sufficient, but the morale was getting lower and lower, and the people in the city were panicked, and they were all worried, and Liu Manjiang and others also seized the time to constantly incite and lobby the soldiers who were being detained around them.
For Liu Manjiang and these people, Kong Rong wanted to transfer them to help defend the city, but was persuaded by Wang Zifa, the more critical the time, the more Wang Zifa did not dare to be careless, he has always been wary of Liu Manjiang and these people, once they are free, the consequences are unpredictable, but it is not a good way to take care of them all.
Liu Manjiang and these people wanted to persuade the people who were watching them with just one mouth, but the effect was not obvious, but at this time, Lu Zhuo rewarded each of them with a hundred dollars, but it played a key role.
Money can be channeled, not to mention, Lu Zhuo's offensive is getting more and more fierce, these people are also worried that Lu Zhuo will not let them go when the city is broken, and under the persuasion of Liu Manjiang and others, on the second night of Lu Zhuo's siege, something happened.
"Lord, lord..."
Not long after Lu Zhuo fell asleep, Zhuge Jin hurriedly ran into his handsome tent, "Lord, someone in the city shot out a letter, agreeing to take the city at the fourth watch." ”
"Well... It's just wonderful. ”
As soon as he turned around, Lu Zhuo stood up from the ground excitedly, excitedly he clenched his fists with both hands, and hammered them together, "God really helps me, it is finally in vain for my hard work." ”
The letter was made by Liu Manjiang to secretly shoot out of the city, which shows that Liu Manjiang is still a bit of a brain.
If he didn't say anything, Liu Manjiang would rush out in one go, and he wouldn't even respond, so he might not be able to succeed.
Lu Zhuo hurriedly called Tai Shici and the others to the tent, everyone was happy, and Chen Deng's tightly knit brows were relaxed.
Lu Zhuo divided the troops and sent generals to make everyone ready, and then, every minute and every second, everyone felt that it was very long, not only them, but also Liu Manjiang and those in the city were no exception.
Just after the third watch, Lu Zhuo was neatly dressed, he has always been like a fire, he is a quick temper, and he can't wait to take the drama county over immediately.
"My lord, it's still early."
Zhuge Jin had been following Lu Zhuo's side inch by inch, turning his head to look at him, seeing that his face was still pale and his body was trembling, Lu Zhuo asked, "Ziyu, you're not used to fighting, are you?" ”
Zhuge Jin didn't refute, and nodded self-deprecatingly, "My second brother is much better than me, every time he sees me, he asks if he has no fun, he is very interested in everything that happens on the battlefield, and his courage is also unexpectedly great." ”
"Ziyu, everyone has their own strengths, don't be arrogant, you have already performed very well."
Lu Zhuo stretched out his hand and patted him on the trembling shoulder, and repeatedly admonished, "Remember, once you go to the battlefield, you must follow me." ”
"No"
If someone else is changed, who would agree so happily? But Zhuge Jin will!
He was not willing to hide behind Lu Zhuo with peace of mind, but this was Lu Zhuo's order, and he had to agree, as for whether he would obey it, it was not necessarily.
Because, this man who is most afraid of going to the battlefield, one day, will also stand up to defend Lu Zhuo against knives and arrows!
Time was anxiously waiting, and finally on the fourth watch, there was a sudden chaos at the east gate, followed by a fire in the night sky, Lu Zhuo hurriedly led people to rush out of the gate, and waved his troops straight to the east gate to kill.
Liu Manjiang led people to take the city, thousands of people together to exert power, momentum like a tiger, momentum like a rainbow, when Kong Rong and others woke up, the east gate has been opened by Liu Manjiang and others, but unfortunately, Liu Manjiang himself, but was shot in the heart by a cold arrow.
The Xuzhou soldiers rushed in, and everyone was like wolves and tigers, and they went straight into the city, and no one paid attention to Liu Manjiang, who turned over and fell off the horse.
When Tai Shici and Guan Hai completely controlled the city gate, Lu Zhuo found Liu Manjiang, who was surrounded by several Beihai soldiers.
These soldiers were all surrendered with Liu Manjiang, and they were afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou soldiers would step past Liu Manjiang's body, so they used their bodies to voluntarily protect Liu Manjiang's side.
Lu Zhuo asked Chen Deng to lead people into the city to clear the remnants of resistance, and he took the initiative to dismount and come to Liu Manjiang's side.
These soldiers were all wounded, and there were two leg bones that were crushed by the war horse.
Why not hide? Why don't you move Liu Manjiang to a safe place?
Because, it can't be done.
There are too many people, especially after the city gate is opened, the Xuzhou soldiers are crazy, like wild horses that have escaped, like a torrent that opens the gates, these Beihai soldiers can't enter or retreat.
Especially if you go backwards, it is easy to be killed by soldiers who mistake it for Kong Rong.
If you want to rush out of the city gate, you can't do it, Liu Manjiang is a strong man of several hundred catties after all, and it is difficult to move.
What's more, the momentum of the Xuzhou soldiers is too fierce, it is difficult to move an inch at all, there is no way, they can only use their bodies to protect Liu Manjiang's side.
It is inevitable to be stepped on by a war horse, but these people do not regret it, and they are not all Liu Manjiang's personal soldiers, there are two people in them, Douding and Sixi.
They did this completely because they respected Liu Manjiang, at first Liu Manjiang didn't want to help Lu Zhuo, but in the end, it was he who led people to open the city gate, Sixi and Douding, these people, were moved in their hearts, and they didn't want Liu Manjiang to die without leaving a whole corpse.
