There was panic in the city, and the situation outside the city was even worse.

Due to the relentless pursuit of the Jingzhou army, the news of the defeat of the main force of Eastern Wu did not reach Baqiu much earlier. Sun Yu, who was shocked by this news, rushed to Shuizhai as soon as possible, mobilized more than 8,000 sailors stationed in Baqiu, and less than 200 warships to leave the port, trying to block the pursuit of the Jingzhou army and cover the retreat of the defeated army into Shuizhai.

However, what Sun Yu didn't expect was that the main fleet, which he was so proud of, would be defeated so badly, not so much retreating, but rather fleeing.

As soon as Sun Yu's fleet sailed out of the water village, it met the chaotic rout ship coming from its back. The command system of the defeated army has completely collapsed, and the ships are not retreating in an orderly manner as before, but like rats crossing the street, you fight for each other, and each desperately rushes to the side of the water village.

Such a chaotic rout stunned Sun Yu on the spot, and the chaotic rout army rushed desperately, but instead disrupted the formation of his fleet.

Just as Sun Yu waved his flag and tried his best to stabilize the chaotic situation, suddenly, a stone projectile fell from the sky and smashed into the water less than three feet on the side of the ship, splashing a huge column of water that actually wet his clothes.

"What's going on?"

Sun Yu was taken aback, and when he was at a loss, more stone bullets poured down like an overwhelming land, and the ships on the left and right, whether they were ruptured or ships under his command, were immediately smashed to the point of crying wolf, and in the blink of an eye, three ships lost their combat effectiveness.

The stone rain in the sky became more and more dense, and the sentry on the mast exclaimed: "Governor, no, the enemy's naval army is coming!" ”

Sun Yu hurriedly climbed to the top floor of the building ship and looked into the distance, only to see that after the scattered rout, a fleet with the flag of Guan was following his own rout in a square formation, and it was only less than one hundred and fifty steps away from here. And on the deck directly in front of the enemy ship, there is a huge mechanical device, and it is that thing that is constantly firing terrifying stone bullets at them.

At this moment, Sun Yu seemed to suddenly wake up to why his own navy across the Yangtze River could be defeated so miserably, and it was mostly defeated by the terrifying machinery of the other party.

Sun Yu tried to meet the Jingzhou army, but soon found that it was in vain, because the other party followed the rout, and the momentum was amazing, and his fleet of 8,000 people had not yet arrived, and the route of the attack was all blocked by the rout ships coming from the opposite direction. In this way, not to mention waiting for the Jingzhou army to rush in for hand-to-hand combat, this stone rain attack alone was enough to destroy most of his fleet.

After his brain turned quickly, Sun Yu realized that facing the battle was a dead end, and if he followed the rout and retreated to the water village, he would inevitably be completely annihilated by Guan Yu, who was chasing after him. You must know that these are the most powerful main fleets of Eastern Wu, and if they are all annihilated here, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Baqiu can't hold it, send a signal quickly, and order the whole army to retreat with me at Lukou!" Sun Yu didn't have time to think, he hurriedly ordered, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "Send someone back to the city quickly, pick up Miss Sun first, and retreat to Hanchang County by land first." ”

Sun Yu's head turned quickly, and the first one abandoned Baqiu, looked downstream and fled, and many of the defeated troops saw this, and also turned around and fled downstream together.

At this moment, on the flagship, Guan Yu was commanding his fleet in high spirits, chasing the Dongwu group of water dogs, and when he was about to annihilate the Dongwu fleet in Baqiu, he suddenly saw that more than half of the Wu ships changed direction and slipped downstream.

Guan Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said: "It seems that there are still sober people among Wu dogs, so let's let them live for the time being." ”

Zhao Layjin, the deputy general beside him, said: "General, the Wu people are crushed for thousands of miles, why don't you chase and fight hard, and even take the land mouth." ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "Chasing from the mouth of the lake to this place, I estimate that the stone bullets carried with the ship will also be exhausted, there is no advantage of the Shenwei cannon, and it will not be much cheaper to chase it down, it is better to take down Baqiu first, and it is not too late to enter the land port east after resting and replenishing." What's more, there is still a Lu Meng's naval army in Xiangshui in the south, if our army pursues it with all its might, what if he takes the opportunity to copy the back road. ”

Guan Yu was not carried away by the huge victory, his thinking was still very clear, so, looking at the chaotic enemy from afar, Guan Yu said proudly: "Order my order, the whole army rushes forward, attack the shore in one fell swoop, and tonight the whole army will drink and celebrate in Baqiu City!" ”

At this time, the morale of the Jingzhou soldiers is flourishing, for many years, this Jingzhou people-based naval army, as early as the Liu Biao era and the Wu people have been repeatedly defeated, can be said to have suffered humiliation, and now, they can finally be ashamed, the resentment that has been held in their hearts for many years can finally be vented, and they can't wait to kill Jianye. So, the soldiers didn't need to urge, but when they saw Guan Yu's order, they desperately killed Baqiu.

The Wu people had long lost the will to resist, and once the rout landed on the shore, they fled from the ship, desperately escaped from the water village, and swarmed into Baqiu City, which was less than a few hundred steps offshore. When Guan Yu's army went ashore, the water village was actually empty, and the ships could calmly dock, and the army reached the city of Baqiu.

This Baqiu city was built when Lu Su took over as the commander of the Western Front, although the city is small, but the city wall is extremely high, and now the defenders who have fled into the city have at least five or six thousand people, if the city is fortified and defended, it is really difficult to conquer for a while.

Just when Guan Yu was about to give the order to attack, Fang Shao, who had landed on the shore, led his Yizhou army and transported more than 30 Shenwei cannons on the ship to Baqiu City.

After seeing Guan Yu, Fang Shao said: "Why does General Guan let the soldiers go to danger and attack, with the divine power cannon in hand, why not worry about a Baqiu city." ”

Guan Yu saw that he actually transported the Shenwei cannon from the ship to the shore, and couldn't help but wonder: "I thought your Shenwei cannon was fixed on the ship, but I didn't expect it to be able to disassemble it and go ashore." ”

Fang Shao said with a smile: "It's a pity that such an artifact is only used in water warfare, so when Shao first designed it, he designed it to be used both amphibious." It's just that the stone shells are almost exhausted at the moment, and there are less than a few hundred left, but if you concentrate a little bit of attack, you should be able to blast a gap. ”

Guan Yu then said proudly: "Okay, then hurry up and open fire, let the Wu people taste the taste of broken liver and gall again!" ”

So, thirty Shenwei cannons were distributed directly opposite the West Gate of Baqiu, Fang Shao gave an order, and more than thirty stone bullets were fired in a salvo.

At this moment, the chaos in Baqiu City has ended, the streets are empty, everyone flees back to their homes, and closes their doors and prays that their army can hold the city, or that when the Jingzhou army breaks through the city, they can show kindness and not bully their defenseless people.――――――

Of course, there are also many people who look forward to the Jingzhou army breaking the city, because this Baqiu land has belonged to Jingzhou since ancient times, and many people have regarded themselves as Jingzhou people for generations, but in troubled times, this place was occupied by the Wu people, and they were forced to become Wu people, but in their bones they still hope that one day they can return to their old hometown. Now, they have finally waited for this opportunity.

On the street, Sun Shangxiang walked around the empty street alone.

A group of soldiers hurried by, apparently rushing to the west gate to help, and one of the leading squads shouted at her: "Whose girl is so desperate, hurry up and go home, it's dangerous here." ”

The team was also motivated by kindness, but Sun Shangxiang didn't appreciate it, he didn't even look at him, he just looked up at the street in a daze, and the figure was moving at the West Gate.

"This girl must be scared silly." The leader of the team was nosy, and he was busy with his men to Simon.

"How can this be, isn't my Jiangdong sailor invincible in the world, how can he be defeated by the people of Jingzhou, and given ...... Give him ...... defeat"

At this time, Sun Shangxiang was still immersed in confusion and shock, because since her father Sun Jian died under Xiakou City, her Jiangdong naval army had never lost once in countless battles with the Jing people, perhaps she was used to hearing the news of victory, so this defeat made her feel incredible.

"How should I go to see him, if I see him at this time, won't I be a head shorter than him, and what if he looks down on me."

In such a situation, she can still think about such a boring question, but it is no wonder that she has always held a lofty posture when she got along with him before, even if she went to Jingzhou that time, she also had a psychology of stooping down. But this time is different, at the moment, Dongwu is the defeated side, and the defeat has wiped out her psychological advantage, so she can't adjust her mentality for a while.

"Zijing's defeat must be a fluke from Jingzhou. When I come back, I will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory, and I will wait in Baqiu City, and it will not be too late to see him after my victory in Jiangdong. ”

Sun Shangxiang had a good calculation in her heart, but she didn't know that the defeat of the Wu army must not be accidental, but her sweetheart had planned it as early as when she was in Yizhou.

Just as she was still thinking for a while, suddenly, there was a faint buzzing sound in her ears, and the sound came from far and near, as if the air had been torn, and in an instant it was already straight to her eardrums.

The voice seemed to come from the sky, and she instinctively raised her head, and before she could react, something flew down, right in the middle of a shop next to her.

Boom - the pillars supporting the eaves of the shop immediately broke, and the rubble of the beams fell suddenly, Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, and hurriedly jumped to the side, avoiding the pressure of the heavy beams, but the moment he fell to the ground, the sawdust and stones fell to his body one after another.

The roar in his ears was endless, like the ground shaking the mountain, Sun Shangxiang was frightened, he just held his head and lay on the ground, not daring to move, and after a while, half of his body was buried in ashes.

I don't know how long it took for the roar to finally end. Sun Shangxiang finally came to her senses, and when she struggled to get up from the ashes, she was horrified by what she saw.

The West Gate City Tower in front of it actually collapsed in half, and in the gray fog, countless Jingzhou soldiers poured into Baqiu City from the breach like a tide.
