Chapter 764: The wall fell down and everyone pushed it
"Knock! knock!"
Suddenly, the sound of war drums like thunder sounded in the distance. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
The drums beat like rain on the plantains, and it was extremely fast.
The increasingly rapid drum beat made the soldiers of Wu defending on the city tower even more nervous.
The soldier clenched his weapon, his face stiffened, his eyes worried, but he was also ready for battle. They are afraid, but they are still persevering.
Xu Sheng stood on the city tower with burning eyes.
Looking at the Chu army that was gradually approaching, Xu Sheng's breathing became more and more rapid inadvertently.
It's finally here!
After Xu Sheng saw it clearly, he ordered the soldiers on the city tower to be on guard, and the soldiers prepared all the equipment to defend the city.
Ever since he knew that Tai Shi Ci was coming, Xu Sheng was preparing.
Wooden stalks, rolling stones, oil, catapults, and other defensive weapons were all placed on the castle tower for the soldiers to use. As long as the Chu army launched an attack, Xu Sheng would be able to organize a counterattack immediately.
The distance is getting closer a little bit.
When the Chu ** team was less than a hundred steps away from the city, it stopped advancing and the army lined up.
The Chu army was arrayed, the soldiers were like a forest, and the military law was strict.
The drums of war sounded like thunder.
The soldiers shouted and shouted.
The murderous aura in the sky shrouded the entire Wanling County.
Tai Shi Ci stood in front of the battle, he wore a helmet and armor, held a sword, and was majestic. He stared at the county seat of Wanling County, pointed the sword in his hand and pointed ahead, and ordered: "Crossbowman, prepare!"
The sound is like a bell, making the flag shake.
I saw the soldiers in the array move their positions, and the military formation changed.
A team of crossbowmen quickly stepped forward, and these bows and crossbows were all weapons unique to the Chu State, developed by craftsmen led by Huang Yueying.
Whether it is 'shooting' range or lethality, it is far beyond ordinary crossbow arrows.
One by one, the soldiers wound their crossbow arrows and aimed at Wanling County.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Order.
In an instant, nearly a thousand crossbow arrows burst out of the air.
"Whoa!!!"
The air was filled with the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air.
The crossbow arrows pierced through the air, and the dense crossbow arrows covered the sky and the sun, heading straight for the city tower.
"Duh!duh!!"
Crossbow arrows fell on the towers, and some of them fell to the ground, but many of them passed through the towers and went into the city. And in this round of crossbow arrows, there are also defenders who defend the city and die under the crossbow arrows.
One round of crossbow bolts passed, and a second round of crossbow bolts passed.
Several rounds of crossbow arrows swept through the air, and nearly 10,000 crossbow arrows landed on the city tower.
"Look, there's a note on the crossbow bolt. β
Suddenly, the soldiers on the tower shouted.
The news immediately spread.
One soldier after another shouted, and countless soldiers took down the note.
There were only eight words on the note.
Those who descend will not be killed!
The official position remains the same!
These eight characters are not only to ensure the 'life' of the soldiers, but also to ensure the official positions of the officers and men stationed in Wu, and to win over the officers and soldiers who resist.
Eight words have touched the hearts of countless people.
The hearts of the soldiers are fluctuating.
One by one, each with their own thoughts.
The 'elite' of the Chu State drove straight in, and even the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu couldn't stop it, what did they block?
The morale of the soldiers stationed in the city tower was greatly affected.
When Xu Sheng saw this scene, he secretly scolded Tai Shici for being cunning. He immediately dispatched his soldiers and collected all the bolts and notes.
"Whoever talks about it again, kill!"
Xu Sheng gave an order, and the soldiers defending the city were silent.
For a while, no one talked about it.
It's just that the news of the surrender of the Chu army spread, fermenting in the hearts of the soldiers defending the city.
Xu Sheng looked out of the city, vigilant in his heart.
Tai Shi Ci only sent crossbowmen, didn't he attack?
At this moment, Xu Sheng's heart was still very nervous. He was ready to fight to the death, but after all, it was the first time he had presided over such a big battle, and he had no bottom in his heart.
After Tai Shi Ci 'shot' with a crossbow arrow, he ordered the crossbowman to 'shoot' again.
This time, the crossbow arrows that were 'shot' were also tied to a note.
It's just that the content of the note has changed, no longer the words of the previous surrender, but the time of the attack.
"Attack in the afternoon!"
Six words, it says it all.
The news on the note, even though Xu Sheng suppressed it, soon spread.
Xu Sheng's face became more and more solemn.
The time arranged by Tai Shici seems to be to 'confuse' the army's heart, but there is another purpose, that is, to make an appointment with the people in the city. If there are surrenderers in the city, they will act according to this time.
Xu Sheng has judgment, but it is difficult to respond.
In the face of Tai Shici's attack, it was difficult for him to even resist, let alone divide his troops.
Xu Sheng dispatched a small group of soldiers and arranged them on the streets leading to the city gate, responsible for monitoring the movements in the city.
After doing all this, Xu Sheng waited on the city tower.
Time passed gradually, and soon it was noon.
At lunchtime, the Chu army outside the city buried the pot to make rice, and even cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, a lively scene.
From the castle tower, the situation outside the city seems to be a bit 'chaotic'.
Xu Sheng observed carefully, but found that the regular army of Chu was not 'chaotic'. If he leads his troops out to attack, the opponent will be able to volley immediately.
In order to be safe, Xu Sheng did not attack.
The Chu army outside the city had lunch and waited outside the city.
In the afternoon, the weather that was originally a little 'gloomy' turned out to be clouds and fog, and the sun shone on the earth.
The golden sun shines inside and outside the city.
Time is getting closer and closer to Shenshi.
Tai Shi Ci rode his horse to the front of the battle, and the sword in his hand gradually aimed at the city tower.
The Chu army in the army formation is also ready to go.
"Kill!"
Tai Shi Ci suddenly ordered.
In an instant, the drums of war and the sound of trumpets sounded in unison.
The soldiers of the Chu State rushed forward and rushed straight to the county seat of Wanling County.
This group of attacking soldiers amounted to 10,000 people.
Tai Shici's attack this time sent the strongest 'elite' to take Wanling County in one go.
The soldiers of the Chu State charged, and soon 'pressed' close to the city.
A 'wave' and a 'wave' of soldiers built a ladder, and some soldiers carried a crash car to hit the city gate. The siege equipment was set up, and countless Chu troops began to attack.
The Chu army attacked, and Xu Sheng dispatched soldiers to resist.
When the two sides were 'fighting', somewhere in the city, six miles away from the 'gate' of the city.
The major families of Wanling County gather here.
The leader is an old man with a clear appearance.
This person's name is Zheng Qiu, who is over sixty years old and is the oldest person among the heads of the Nanchang family.
Among the major families, Zheng Qiu has the highest prestige.
He leaned on a cane and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it is now Shen Shi, and the Chu army outside the city has also begun to attack the city. The general trend of Wu has gone, and now is the opportunity for our Wanling County family to make meritorious contributions. β
"Zheng Gong is reasonable, and the state of Wu should be destroyed. β
A middle-aged man echoed, his eyes flashing with a 'fine' light.
"Zheng Gong ordered. β
"Please give an order from Gong Zheng. β
......
When everyone heard this, they spoke one after another.
Wu Guo was yesterday's yellow 'flower', and they couldn't guarantee the interests of the family, so they were ready to borrow 'flowers' to offer Buddha and Xu Sheng to Chu as a 'flower'.
Zheng Qiu stood up, hit the ground with a clatter, and said, "Send troops and lead the Chu army into the city." β
"Whoa!"
The crowd replied in unison, and then went to prepare.
Half an hour later, in Wanling County, troops from all directions converged towards the city's 'gate'.
The major families, the heritage is exhausted.
The number of troops gathered was huge, and there were more than 8,000 people.
The children of the 8,000 families rushed towards the 'gate' of the city.
The news quickly reached Xu Sheng's ears, and Xu Sheng dispatched a team of soldiers to stop it. However, the soldiers who resisted did not play a role at all in front of the family's 'private' soldiers, but were easily crushed by the family's 'private' soldiers.
Xu Sheng couldn't help it at all, his forces were all pinned.
Under the onslaught of the Chu army, Xu Sheng had no extra troops.
Because of the addition of the 'private' soldiers of the family in the city, it completely collapsed the last straw for Xu Sheng to defend the city.
