Chapter 814: The Shu people lure the wolf into the house
"Kill!"
On the periphery of Piyi, the capital of Shu Kingdom, the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of horns echoed in the valley.
The Wu army and the Shu army fought fiercely from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.
Suddenly, a cloud of dust and smoke rose from the far end of the road, like a whirlwind, and gradually heard the sound of horses' hooves like a torrential rain, and a group of Wu cavalry galloped forward.
The soldiers of the Shu army, who were attacked on their backs, were defeated after all, and they fled one after another, or knelt down and begged for mercy.
After once again defeating a camp of the Shu army, tens of thousands of Wu troops, under the leadership of Sun Wu, finally approached the city of Piyi!
Sun Wu's attack on Shu this time can be described as overwhelming, and he did not encounter too strong resistance.
Because, the previous Shu State had already been in civil strife, and with the support of Wu State, the former Shu Jun Duhu united his old department, which should be combined with the outside and the outside, and caught the Shu army off guard.
So much so that Sun Wu didn't even use the "earth-shaking thunder", and he had already led his troops all the way to Piyi, which can be described as smooth sailing.
At this moment, in front of the phalanx of the Wu army, Du Hu, who was riding in the chariot, said to Sun Wu with an embarrassed look: "Captain, Du Nai, this guy has carried out a big purge in Piyi. The widow's old army was killed and wounded, and it was no longer possible to unite with the outside and capture this Piyi......"
The implication is that the Wu army needs to fight desperately to conquer Piyi.
This Piyi is the capital of Shu State.
For more than 600 years now, the fortifications of the capital city have naturally been built extremely strongly.
If you rely on conventional tactics, even if the Wu army has siege equipment such as trebuchets, it will be difficult to conquer Piyi for a while, and even pay a lot of price.
Fortunately, Sun Wu brought a lot of earth-shattering thunder with him this time.
"The order was given, and the army was encamped on the spot. After a night's rest, take the siege! ”
"No!"
The tired army is not available, and Sun Wu knows this.
After a night of recuperation, the Wu army finally launched an attack on Piyi.
Because of the steep Shu road and the impassable waterway, the large siege equipment of the Wu army could not be brought to Shu.
Still, it doesn't hurt.
I saw that under Sun Wu's orders, the arrow array of the Wu army, thousands of crossbowmen, had already advanced in the direction of the city wall of Piyi, step by step.
After the Wu army's arrow array entered the range of the Shu army's arrows at the head of the city, they were subjected to round after round of arrow rain attacks.
It's just that in front of the arrow array, there are still a lot of shield players to block, so the damage that the Shu army can do to the Wu army's crossbowmen is minimal.
The bows and arrows of the Shu people were still in the previous era, and their range was much smaller than that of the Wu army's strong crossbows......
"Ignition! Get ready! ”
What is a little surprising is that next to each Wu army's crossbowman is a soldier with a torch.
What's going on?
The soldiers of the Shu army at the head of the city were quite puzzled.
It's not night, so why do you need torches?
I saw that the crossbowmen had opened their bows and arrows, and a "lump of iron" was tied to the arrows, and the fuse had been lit by torches, making a sound like a snake spitting out letters.
The smell of gunpowder smoke spreads through the air.
"Put!"
With the order of the captain of the capital, all the crossbowmen suddenly threw a rain of arrows in the direction of Piyi.
If it was just a few thousand arrows, it might not do much damage to the Shu army defending the city.
However, the earth-shattering thunder that the arrow helped was not a silver-like pewter spear head......
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the fire soared into the sky, and the smoke filled the air.
The rammed earth walls were smashed out of one gap after another.
In addition to the splash of rubble, the shrednel blasted by the earth-shattering thunder was directly embedded in the human body, killing many Shu soldiers who could not be prevented.
Even if you use a shield to block, you can only block the shock wave, and the shield hand will inevitably be injured by shrapnel, either dead or injured!
For a time, on the head of the city of Piyi, the screams were endless.
There were flying limbs everywhere, and wet intestines were scattered all over the ground, mixed with countless amounts of blood, so that the whole city was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
"Attack!"
With Sun Wu's order, the soldiers of the Wu army, who had long been ready to attack, immediately launched an attack on Piyi in an orderly manner.
On the ladder stand, the crossbowman changed to a foot soldier, carrying a broadsword, and climbed up.
Many officers and soldiers of the Shu army wanted to be replaced, but they could no longer stop the fierce offensive momentum of the Wu army.
What's more, they have been frightened by the sound of explosions like thunder in the sky, and they have lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.
Half an hour later, after an almost one-sided massacre, the Wu army had conquered Piyi and found Dunai, who had been burned alive in the Shu Palace.
Du Nai is still a bloody man, knowing that the country is about to die, and he doesn't want to be insulted by the Wu people, so he set himself on fire......
"Bury him."
"No!"
Sun Wu commanded, and then immediately set his eyes on Du Hu's body.
Sun Wu's meaningful eyes made Du Hu's heart chuckle and feel bad.
"Someone!"
Following Sun Wu's order, the two armor soldiers immediately came to the palace and waited for orders.
"Invite Duhu down and take care of it. Send him to Jinling tomorrow! ”
"No!"
Duhu was immediately held up by two armor soldiers, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free.
Under the shame and indignation, Du Hu said angrily: "Sun Wu! What are you doing! ”
"Didn't the Ru Wu army come to help the widow set things right? Why do you treat widows like this? ”
Hearing this, Sun Wu said lightly: "Duhu, a person like you is also worthy of being the king of a country?" Hold on! ”
Du Hu reacted, and when he was forked out by the armor, he couldn't help but scold: "Sun Wu! You old horseman! You Wu Guojun is really a nest of snakes and rats, and you have no faith in your words! ”
"I regret that I shouldn't lead the wolf into the house and help you destroy the Wu Kingdom!"
"How can the widow have face in the future, and goodbye to the ancestors and ancestors of my Shu Kingdom......"
In fact, at this time, whether Duhu lives or dies is no longer important.
Generally speaking, the state of Wu adheres to the fine tradition of treating the king of the dead country well.
For example, the previous Yue Wang Yunchang, Chu King Xiong Zhen, Yun Jun and others, after the death of the country, although they did not get the preferential treatment of "destroying the country without extinction", they could still be given 500 food towns by Qingji, hereditary replacement, to ensure that they can live without worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, and the title can also be inherited......
This is already preferential treatment.
Shujun Duhu is different.
Whether it is Du Hu or Du Nai, they are all incompetent and incompetent, and some brutal monarchs are not popular with the people in Shu.
After this toss, the Shu clan lost the hearts of the people.
In this case, it is logical that Wu wants to destroy Shu.
As for the Shu people who resisted, there must be very few!
With the fall of Piyi, it means that the Shu State has fallen and become a part of the Wu State.
The next thing Sun Wu had to consider was how to start a war against Qin.
