Chapter 57: Fu Shiren

Fu Shiren

The calm Jiangling City was frightened by the sudden arrival of the Han army, and this tension not only did not disappear, but became more nervous with the siege of the Han army.

A number of ladders were erected on the city wall, and there were more than 100 of them; The Han army stepped on the ladder and held the shield, and kept moving towards the city tower, and the Wu army on the city tower kept throwing logs and stones down, and the arrows did not stop; The iron pot with boiling water was already boiling, but the Han army under the iron pot still did not stop climbing, the iron pot slowly tilted with the movement of the support, and the boiling water slowly overflowed with the inclined pot mouth, and got on the body of the Han army under the city.

The Han army that was touched by the boiling water suddenly let out a scream and fell down the ladder, and then frantically fled from the siege position, after all, the boiling water is no one can withstand the power it transmits, and it can completely separate the skin from the flesh when it gets on the skin, and it is also considered to be the most cruel defender of the city, and such scenes are still happening.

The momentum of the Han army's siege of the city was not blocked by a few pots of boiling water, and countless Han soldiers under the city wall stepped on the arrows that had just been pierced into the city wall by the three-bow bed crossbow, and began to climb up along the wall. Taking Gangneung City in one fell swoop was a military order that they had been instilled before they set off.

Time is slowly passing, the sun is gone, and the night is about to spread over the land.

The Han army attacked the city wall one after another, but only the corpses remained in the city tower; The Han army still did not give up, although they were just ordinary soldiers, but they also knew the impact that would be on the entire battle if they captured Jiangling.

As the night approached, after nearly two hours of siege, the corpses of the Han army under the city walls were countless; But the Han army stabilized its position in the city tower, and the soldiers behind naturally climbed up more and more, Fu Tong saw that the city tower had finally changed, and drove his horse to the city gate excitedly, waiting for the elite of the Han army under his command to open the city gate in front of him, and a victorious smile appeared on his face, "I want to make up my mind."

The soldiers did not disappoint their generals, and desperately rushed to the head of the city to lower the drawbridge, and just as Fu Tong was about to board the drawbridge, something unexpected happened.

"General, there are a large number of troops in the rear of our army" A scout suddenly ran in front of Fu Tong's horse.

"What banner are they flying, how many are there, and how far are they from here?" Fu Tong was also stunned by the scout's words, if there really was a large number of troops, and this was the territory of Dongwu, it would naturally be the reinforcements of Dongwu.

"It's too dark, I didn't see the flag clearly, it won't be less than 10,000 people, less than five miles away!" The scout replied in a panic, he himself knew what it meant to have a large army behind him.

If the moonlight could shine on Fu Tong's face at this time, he would definitely see his hideous expression, how terrifying it would be!

"Withdraw! Remove! Quickly retreat 、、、" struggled for a while, leaving countless regrets, Fu Tong still chose to retreat; Because he knew that even if he could block the reinforcements behind, it would be impossible to break through the nine gates of Jingzhou in a row during this time.

When the Han army on the city tower heard the horn of retreat, they must have been unwilling, but they still chose to obey the order and fight and retreat down the city tower. Fu Tong opened the way in front, and all the endless anger and dissatisfaction gathered on the blade of his big sword, rushing towards the camp of Wu Jun, and the big knife was naturally indispensable for the washing of blood.

Another chaotic battle also made Fu Tong see the banner of the word 'Lu' fluttering in the wind, but he didn't guess who the word Lu represented. Since Fu Tong's purpose was to break through, and Lu Xun's purpose was only to save Jiangling City, he didn't dwell too much, and Fu Tong walked away, leaving his biggest regret in this life.

Public Security City; A remnant soldier suddenly came out of nowhere and ran straight towards the public security gate, only to see that the leaders were Zhuge Qiao and Liu A, who had just surrendered; "The soldiers on the city tower, quickly open the city gate and let me enter the city, I am Liu A, the Taishou of Wuling County," Liu A, who was beside Zhuge Qiao, shouted towards the city tower.

"If you were the Taishou of Wuling, how could you be so downcast," a man who looked like a general on the tower of the city asked the city below.

"Wuling City has been broken by the Han army a few days ago, I escaped from Wuling City, hurry up and open the door! The Han army is chasing after us," Liu Ah explained hurriedly.

"Please wait a moment, I will tell the general to know before I can open the gate for you," the man said and disappeared from the tower.

In less than a quarter of an hour, another obese man in military uniform appeared on the city tower, "General Fu, but you still remember that we have had several faces" Liu A saw the general on the city tower and shouted excitedly. His shout surprised Zhuge Qiao, General Fu? Could it be that he is Fu Shiren, Fu Shiren, who once surrendered and sacrificed the city without blood, resulting in Guan Yu's defeat; Before, Zhuge Qiao only cared about the guards of Wuling and did not pay attention to the public security, but he didn't expect that the public security guards were still Fu Shiren, and the sky had eyes, so let me end you, a disloyal and unrighteous person.

"Oh! It's Liu Taishou, how did you think of coming to the junior brother's public security city today" Fu Shiren glanced at Liu Ah and asked him in a completely sarcastic tone.

"General Fu, Wuling City has been captured by the Han army, and the men and horses of the Han army will chase after them immediately, and ask General Fu to open the city to save his next life" When Liu A said this, he didn't forget to look behind him a few times to hide his behavior.

"What did Liu Taishou say, you and I are both courtiers of Eastern Wu, and we will try our best to defend one side for Eastern Wu; Although your Wuling City has been captured, but there is still my public security, it is impossible for the Han army to attack it" Fu Shiren kept taunting Liu A, but Liu A was still humble, waiting for the city gate to open; He himself knew that after the city gate was opened, Fu Shiren's soldiers would definitely not be the opponents of the Han army, and if Fu Shiren was unfortunately captured, there would be only one way to die, and it would be impossible for Shu Han to forgive him.

"Please also ask the general to open the door," Liu Ah continued to humble.

"Actually, Mrs. Liu has an order, then open the city gate," Fu Shiren said with a disdainful look at Liu A again.

With Fu Shiren's military order, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was opened; Liu Ah stepped on the drawbridge and walked straight towards the city, Fu Shiren watched him enter the city with this remnant army, but he felt a hint of ominous aura, but he couldn't tell what was wrong;

When Liu A entered the city, he walked straight to Fu Shiren on the city tower, "Thank you General Fu for saving your life"

"Liu is too polite" At the moment when Fu Shiren was proud, Zhuge Qiao and Qin Hong behind Liu A immediately rushed out, Zhuge Qiao took out his dagger and swung it at the neck of the unsuspecting Fu Shiren; But he didn't swing it, but chose to stay on his neck, and Qin Hong also blocked Fu Shiren's personal soldiers for Zhuge Qiao at this time.
