Chapter 493: Sun 100,000 wants to attack the city
In the afternoon, the Jiangdong army outside the city really launched a large-scale attack, and all along, the attack outside the city was mainly tentative. This attack, with more than 20,000 troops invested in almost every direction, was a battle in which Sun Quan had made up his mind since the engagement. It seems that Sun Quanyi gave up his plans to build his family in the city.
This level of attack lacks soldiers, and Jianye is quite difficult to defend. If one soldier dies, there will be one less, and Jia Xu sent the children of the family as cannon fodder to consume the enemy's siege materials first. However, the situation is precarious!
"Kill!"
The city wall shouted to kill the heavens, and finally, regardless of the casualties, the Jiangdong army climbed to the top of the city in the firelight, and launched a battle for the head of the city.
"Let the Jiangdong soldiers go up the city wall. The heavy crossbowmen stepped back thirty paces slightly. The miscellaneous soldiers are ready to push the trebuchet and make a fault projectile, so that the Jiangdong army cannot be connected from end to end! ”
"No!"
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, a captain's shout sounded in the distance: "Military Division, the Dragon Guard has appeared on the west city wall, and now it can't be stopped over there, please send reinforcements quickly!" ”
"Dragon Guard?" Jia Xu asked repeatedly. Long Wei is the elite army by Sun Quan's side. Sun Quan was willing to throw these more than 1,000 treasures into the siege battle!
"Prepare the war horse!" Jia Xu said: "Drive the war horse to run over from the city wall!" ”
War horses are not as valuable as miscellaneous soldiers for defending the city. Hundreds of majestic horses, all in armor and equipped with ramming horns. Led from the side wall to the city wall, three horsemen side by side. The soldiers all put on round shields and guarded the sides of their horses.
"Rush!"
The crisp sound of horses' hooves resounded over the city walls.
"Drive!"
The war horses charged at the same time, crashing into the Jiangdong soldiers who had just killed the city. The Jiangdong soldiers were knocked to two sides, dodging the collision corners, and cutting the legs of horses. Countless soldiers who had just climbed the city wall were knocked off the city wall before they could stand firmly, knocking down the soldiers who had climbed the city on a cloud ladder.
Han Dang under the city naturally saw the matter of the horse race in the city clearly, and gritted his teeth with hatred. Chang'an doesn't take war horses as a matter at all! If Jiangdong can have an elite cavalry, how can it be like now, only water battles. There is not a single elite of the Marine Corps.
The city wall was only two or three miles long, and after a while, the war horse ran to the end. The soldiers who had just climbed the city wall were overturned, and the screams under the city wall continued.
However, this did not stop the Koto army from attacking the city. Cheng Pu raised his sword: "Advance, those who retreat die!" ”
"Bang dang." The Overseer struck the shield with the back of his sword, and shouted angrily at the Jiangdong soldiers who were screaming under the city: "Death to those who retreat!" ”
Under the pressure of the bright knives of the warlords, the Jiangdong soldiers once again continued to climb the ladder. Seeing this, Jia Xu's brows furrowed slightly. Quickly snatched a bow and arrow, and shot an enemy general who had just climbed into the city.
"The military advisor is mighty!" The soldiers' hearts were shaken.
"The sword and shield hand retreats, and the school knife hand steps forward, slash!"
Hundreds of school swordsmen who were waiting for the battle suddenly rushed forward, and their swords fell, blocking the waist and cutting off the fastest advancing enemy army. The soldiers, who had just climbed into the city, stepped back without thinking.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Han Dang couldn't stand it anymore, turned over and dismounted, and personally killed and attacked the city. Han Dang had rich experience on the battlefield, and when he saw that the materials for defending the city had almost been consumed, he lined up a dense formation and rushed to the city.
"Archer prepare!" Seeing that the enemy army was attacking again, Jia Xu frowned. After being harassed and consumed by the miscellaneous soldiers sent by Sun Quan for a long time, there are not many left, and Jianye can't withstand the onslaught!
The first to appear at the head of the city was a black spear. The iron spear seemed to slowly draw a large circle in front of him, and he saw that the arrows that flew towards him seemed to have been caught in a quagmire, and the speed suddenly slowed down, and gathered towards the middle, and then was picked up by the iron spear to the outside of the city wall.
"Veteran Han Dang is so fierce?" Jia Xu was frightened. Among the people that Lu Bu is afraid of, there is no Han Dang, is it because Lu Bu has lost his eyes?
The generals of the defense had already been prepared, and when they heard Jia Xu's shouts, the generals suddenly moved to both sides, leaving all the roads in the middle to Han Dang and the army behind him to give way.
"Boom!"
A small group of cavalry seemed to be a stream of iron, rushing up the tower and crashing into the battle formation that had just been put on the wall!
"Again?" Han Dang only smiled deeply: "Don't do the same method twice!" Spearmen, stand and reject horses! ”
The city wall is too narrow, and it is not easy for the horses to run, and it is impossible to turn the horse's head to avoid it. The two rows of improvised horses were like hell, and the running horses couldn't dodge. Suddenly, the horse neighed. One of the Shanyue barbarians held a shield in one hand and a huge mace in the other, and swept the horse's head violently.
The War Horse Formation collapsed in an instant.
The besieging army poured up, stabbing thorns, decapitating decapitations, approaching step by step. Han Dang also commanded the soldiers who attacked the city to advance in formation at this time.
The defenders were being forced back little by little towards the inner city, and the city gates were being opened little by little.
"The whole army retreated to the inner city. Push all the Sun Quan's family to the city! Jia Xu was forced to be anxious, and decided to use hostages to intimidate Sun Quan and see Sun Quan's attitude.
By the time Jia Xu had taken all the hostages in the royal city to the inner city, the entire urn city had completely fallen. The Urn City itself does not have much defensive power, it only exists for the main city gate. At this time, the entire urn city was full of Jiangdong troops with feathered armor, and there were crowds of people above and below the city.
Breaking the urn city, the morale of the Jiangdong army was great, and those soldiers fiercely pulled out the arrows on their bodies and shouted as beasts.
"In Xiabeidi, I am too guarded by Jia Xu, please come out and talk to King Wu." Jia Xu arched his hand over the city.
Sun Quan's throne swayed, and several beautiful maids stood left and right, and in the battle, such luxury also opened Jia Xu's eyes. Sun Quan was lying on the throne frame, and pointed at Jia Xu angrily: "Your Excellency has committed a crime, and you should have violated my boundary." If Kaesong surrenders now, you will be acquitted. ”
"King Wu is so domineering. Now I will knock on your royal city, and King Wu actually doesn't have a trace of danger? Someone came, and invited the old mother of King Wu to come up. ”
Several soldiers escorted Mrs. Wu to the city, and looked at Jia Xu with crossed eyebrows: "Shameless villain, attack the old and weak, is this the majesty of the great general Lu Bu?" ”
As if he hadn't heard, Jia Xu looked down at Sun Quan below: "My request is very simple, you withdraw from the army, and I will keep your family safe." ”
"Jia Xu really wants to kill my family!" Sun Quanhuo stood up and grabbed Lu Su's hand not far away. He can no longer sit like a mountain, his wife and children can be sacrificed, but his old mother can't ignore it. In this era of ruling the world with filial piety, if he ignores it, his hegemony will come to an end.
"Don't be alarmed, my lord. Do you still remember the allusion of the father of the great ancestor? ”
"Humph! How could I be Liu Bang, ignoring my mother! Sun Quan said very angrily.
"The king has misunderstood. Jia Xu's contemporary celebrities will never do such a dirty thing about the lives of bad people. This is also the best of both worlds to protect the whole country and Yecheng. "Anyway, it wasn't his mother who died, Lu Su persuaded bitterly.
"It's hard to talk about." Sun Quan said.
"I'll answer below." Lu Su was very willing to be this good person, and took two steps forward: "I heard that those who rule the world with filial piety do not harm people's relatives." Those who govern the world benevolently will not be worshipped. The survival of the young lord of the country also lies in the public ear. Jianye is related to the safety of the people in more than 80 counties in six counties in Jiangdong, and personal life and death are not enough to worry about. ”
"Well said!" Wu Guotai applauded and praised in the city: "Wu'er Xiu will be paralyzed by the dirty tricks of thieves, and he should judge right and wrong." Millions of people in my Jiangdong are all in your thoughts. ”
"King Wu, you are determined to attack Jianye, right? The name of a certain poisoner is by no means groundless, and anything can be done. Jia Xu hurriedly thought about countermeasures. Sun Quan really wants to attack the city, and it is useless to kill Wu Guotai, it will only annoy him.
"Wu'er, don't worry about attacking the city, don't be restrained!" After Wu Guotai finished speaking, he turned over and wanted to crash down the city wall. Jia Xu grabbed it and scolded angrily at the soldiers who were guarding Wu Guotai beside him:
"Good life! If you go on a business trip, you will be punished! ”
Several soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, and one person on the left and right sandwiched Wu Guotai in the middle. Sun Quan under the city was shocked, and said to Lu Su beside him: "Governor, I don't think it's early today, it's better to use troops in the future!" ”
"The king thinks twice. Today, the urn city has been broken, so as not to have many dreams at night, or to go all out and capture Jianye. Besides, Zhang Liao's army is approaching, so don't delay! ”
"But the old mother is on the other hand......"
"If you can't conquer Jianye for a day, the king can't reunite with the old lady for a day. Could it be that the king naively thought that Jia Xu would take the initiative to send the old lady out of the city? Lu Su took a slight breath: "The king thinks about it carefully, if Jia Xu really has the intention to use hostages to force our army back, how can the old lady stand in the city intact now?" ”
"Then let's have a good fight!"
Sun Quan sat back on the throne again, not glancing at the old mother in the city. Quietly watched the training of the generals in front of the formation.
"It seems that Sun Quan doesn't eat this." Jia Xu frowned: "The war horses in the camp outside the city don't have to harass Sun Quan's flanks." There were too many enemy troops and too dense, and such a small number of cavalry could not break through the large formation. All moved outside the east gate, ready to receive the soldiers defending the city. The order went down, and everyone was ready to move out of the city. ”
Han Dang roared, and the siege army was divided into several formations, storming the inner city gate for a while, climbing the city with a cloud ladder all the way, and grabbing the urn city overpass all the way on the left and right.
The last log on the city fell to the ground, officially announcing the exhaustion of materials to defend the city. The Jiangdong army crawled towards the inner wall from afar, and the two armies entered hand-to-hand combat. When Jia Xu was about to give the order to retreat, a Jiangdong cavalry flew over in the distance:
"Report! reported to King Wu, and found a brigade of unknown cavalry five miles away killing us. ”
"What!" Sun Quan was taken aback, and immediately led the generals to the city wall of Jianye Urn City, and put his hand on the pergola to look into the distance.
What caught my eye was a group of black dots, black pressed one piece, splashing all over the city. Lu Su hesitated: "The cavalry from there? Zhang Liao also attacked the western defense line in the Jiujiang area. Could it be ...... Jia Xu is making a fool of himself? ”
