Chapter 264: Falling Short
Fa Zheng appeared under the corridor of the back hall, surrounded by all the troops, and Zhang Song followed him. Fang Shicheng saw Zhang Song and was shocked: "Zhang Song?!" How? ”
Fa Zheng shouted angrily: "Bold rebellion, you are looking for death!" With a wave of his hand: "Release the arrow!" When the arrows rained down, the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out, and the panicked six thousand private soldiers were shot to the ground.
Seeing this, Fang Shicheng became desperate and shouted: "Brothers, only by working hard can you live!" Rush with me! Immediately, he led hundreds of people and rushed towards the Fa Zheng under the corridor in the back hall. Zhang Song saw that the other party was desperately stance, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, but Fa Zheng's face did not change.
Hundreds of people rushed to the front. Dozens of armorers armed with strong bows suddenly appeared on the roof, and a round of powerful arrows fell, when even a dozen people were shot to the ground. Everyone was frightened and hurriedly stopped the charge. At this time, arrows continued to fly from all sides, and people in the crowd were constantly shot to the ground.
All the private soldiers panicked, scurrying around like headless flies, and the arrows flew all over the sky, only to see that people were constantly being shot to the ground. Some of the private soldiers rushed to the edge of the encirclement, brandishing broadswords and desperately rushed to the defense line of the city defense army, which defended with a shield wall and stabbed with spears, and the private soldiers who rushed up were stabbed to the ground one after another, and no one could rush out at all. These private soldiers are simply not vulnerable in the face of a real army.
The sound of killing in the Assassin's Mansion shook the sky, and outside the Assassin's Mansion, the people were terrified and discussed, and the people of the various clans were excited, they thought that their soldiers and horses were slaughtering the people in the Assassin's Mansion again!
The killing sound lasted for more than half an hour before it gradually subsided, and finally became a dead silence. The people around them were anxious to know what was going on, but they didn't dare to approach it.
Suddenly, the heavily armed soldiers of the city defense army poured out of the Assassin's Mansion, and rushed to several locations in the city in several teams in full view of everyone, looking murderous. Although the people didn't know what was going on, they subconsciously felt that someone might be unlucky! Those scholars were looking in the attic of the Fang family, and they were all taken aback when they saw a large number of soldiers of the city defense army rushing out of the Assassin's Mansion, and then they panicked.
What made them even more frightened was still to come, and the soldiers of the city defense army did not go anywhere else, but ran towards several Dashi clans.
Crashing open the gate and surging in, the soldiers of the city defense army shouted: "Everyone is on their knees!" "While rushing inside. The servants and maidservants were already frightened to death when they saw such a posture, and they knelt down one after another, trembling all over.
……
Soon after, the people in the city were surprised to see that all the extravagant old men in the city had been arrested, and a string of people were escorted to the yamen of the Assassin's Mansion. At this time, rumors spread: these masters plotted to rebel, and everyone was raided! There was a lot of talk, and a huge part of the people were gloating there.
……
The gaze turned to Fuling.
Sun Jian received a report from Chengdu in the big tent that the rebellion of the scholars had failed and that all the participants had been arrested.
Sun Jian scolded in annoyance: "A bunch of waste! I can't even do such a thing! ”
Zhou Tai hugged his fists and said: "Lord, it is better to rely on those people than on ourselves!" ”
Sun Jian nodded and glanced at the generals under his tent, "Order all the armies to continue to attack the city for me!" ”
Sun Jian's land and water army continued to attack Fuling, and Huang Zhong and Zhu Rong struggled to support it.
At the same time, Meng Shu came to a guest, a guest from Jiangdong, who was still in Chengdu not long ago, surnamed Lu Mingsu, and the word Zijing.
Meng Huo glanced at the person who came, and asked tigerishly, "Who are you?" See me what's the matter? ”
Lu Su smiled and clenched his fists and said: "The king, under the tent of Jiangdong Wucheng Marquis, joined the army, Lu Su." Meng Yu's heart moved, "What are you looking for me?" Lu Su smiled and asked, "Does the king know the current situation?" Meng Shu leaned back, "I don't know." Lu Su smiled and said: "If the king doesn't know, I'll talk to the king below!" After a pause, "Now my Jiangdong 500,000 troops are divided into two routes to attack Xichuan in the north and south, the North Route Army has also entered the city of Hanzhong, and the South Route Army has reached Fuling, and Fuling will be captured in the near future." Xichuan can be described as precarious! Didn't the king think this was a great opportunity? ”
Meng Shu sneered: "I have already learned your skills!" Came to attack in a big way before, but returned with a feather, causing Lao Tzu to fight alone! What's wrong? This time, you want to instigate Lao Tzu to send troops? Lao Tzu will not be fooled! ”
Lu Su smiled: "It's just different from the past!" Now there are only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses on Lujin Pass, and I believe that the soldiers and horses under the king can be captured without difficulty! And the military strength around Chengdu has already been emptied, as long as Lujin Pass is captured, the entire Xichuan will be in the king's pocket! ”
Meng Shu couldn't help but be moved, and glanced at Lu Su suspiciously, "Why do you want to give such a cheap thing to Lao Tzu?" ”
Lu Su smiled and asked, "Is the king unwilling?" It's good for both parties! ”
Meng Shu thought for a while and asked, "Afterwards, how will Xichuan be divided?" ”
Lu Su smiled, "The king is really fast!" My lord said that after the matter is completed, all the land south of the Minjiang River will be owned by the king! ”
Meng Shu sneered: "What if I attack Chengdu first? ”
Lu Su said with a smile: "The king of the treasury materials can take them all, but the king must promise not to kill a person indiscriminately and not to destroy the city, otherwise the people of Xichuan will be angry, and it is impossible for my lord to make friends with the king!" I believe that the king is not willing to meet my lord and the soldiers! ”
Meng Shu glared and shouted, "You threaten me? ”
"No, I'm just telling the truth, I believe the king knows the severity!"
Meng Shu narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I promise you!" ”
Lu Su was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "That is the case, I have said goodbye, I hope we will see each other again in Chengdu City." Meng Huo laughed.
Under the onslaught of Sun Jian's army, Fuling City finally could not be held, and Huang Zhong and Zhu Rong led their troops to retreat to Ba County in the west. Ba County, also called Jiangzhou, is located at the confluence of the Dianjiang River and the Yangtze River, on the west bank of the Dianjiang River and the north bank of the Yangtze River, which can be said to be the last line of defense to block Sun Jian's army from entering the core area of Xichuan.
Sun Jian's army of land and water marched together, and a few days later, he reached the vicinity of Ba County. The army relied on the mountains on the east bank of the Dianjiang River and the north bank of the Yangtze River, looking at the Bajun City opposite; The navy is in the north of the river, and more than 1,000 large and small warships are magnificent! At this time, in Bajun City, Huang Zhong and Zhu Rong were actively arranged, preparing to fight a fierce battle here. However, the morale of these troops under the command of Huang Zhong and Zhu Rong was a little low.
