Chapter 161: The War Resumes
The successive gunshots in the city are enough to show Liu Hong's dangerous situation.
The musketeers reacted immediately, quickly placing the Dragon's Thunderbolt launcher on the ground.
Immediately, they began to adjust the firing angle in the direction in which the shots rang out.
The next moment.
Boom Boom!
A roar rang out to the sky.
A dragon roared and thundered into the city.
Then fly to the limit of the distance and fall quickly.
The route of Long Yin's thunderous flight happened to be the route of Liu Hong and Lu Bu's retreat.
A large number of Yangzhou soldiers are gathered on this route at the moment.
Caught off guard.
The dense battle array expands the dragon roaring thunder to the maximum lethality.
Countless soldiers died instantly.
"What's going on?"
"What's going on over there?"
Sun Quan and the others, who were in the palace, were startled by the sudden explosion.
"It's like... The sound of a dragon's thunder? ”
"Could it be that Liu Hong's army is coming?"
Sun Quan was taken aback.
Long Yin thundered and quickly cleared the way for Liu Hong and Lu Bu, and several people rushed to the city gate with the flesh and blood of Yangzhou soldiers.
It's just that when a few people came to the city gate, there were still dozens of guards guarding it.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
Lu Bu shouted violently, and he forcibly scared those guards away.
Immediately, he waved Fang Tian's halberd, and the heavy city gate was smashed out of a big hole by him.
Liu Hong ran out of the big hole.
"Quick! Fire freely and protect the emperor! ”
The captain of the musketeer unit immediately ordered.
In an instant, thousands of muskets erupted, killing the Yangzhou defenders who were chasing after them.
Then everyone quickly evacuated under the cover of Po Yongqi.
Just after a few people evacuated.
Sun Quan looked at the Yangzhou defenders who were killed and injured by the thunder of Longyin all over the ground, and then looked at the broken city gate not far away, and a nameless anger rose.
He was about to get angry.
There was a sudden whining sound in my ears.
Then came the sound of war drums.
Suddenly, the sound of killing in the distance was connected.
It's called!?
Sun Quan's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately organized a large army to defend.
Liu Hong's army in front of the formation.
Looking in the direction of the city, a flash of anger flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.
When he came out this time, he really didn't expect Sun Quan to attack him without hesitation.
If it weren't for Lu Bu's guards, maybe he would really die in Huangquan today.
Although it seems that Lu Bu is the one who provokes trouble.
But Liu Hong found that the reaction speed of those generals was extremely fast.
And it's like it's been honed, and it's besieged in formation.
The soldiers guarding the door also reacted extremely quickly and did not panic at all.
Obviously, after several drills, there were preparations.
It is likely that Sun Quan has long planned to kill himself.
It's just that this step of the plan was advanced by Lu Bu.
Thinking about it, Liu Hong suddenly sneered twice.
With the order given.
The army was soon in action and hurried in the direction of the city.
The movement of the army's attack naturally could not be concealed from Yuan Shang and the others.
"My lord! Liu Hong suddenly led a large army to attack the city! ”
Yan Liang hurriedly ran into the tent.
Hearing this, Yuan Shang and the generals in the tent suddenly looked stunned.
Liu Hong and Sun Quan went to war?
Didn't you say you'd attack tonight?
Yuan Shang suddenly fell into deep thought.
What would make Liu Hong put aside his plan and take the initiative to attack?
"My lord, do we need to lead troops to support?"
Yan Liang continued.
Yuan Shang thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Since Liu Hong sent troops to advance, there must be his reason. ”
"We will also lead a large army to attack at once."
"Remember, only five hundred dragons will be left to thunder, and all the rest will be sent out for me."
Yuan Shang commanded.
Hearing this, Yan Liang nodded, and then turned to leave.
Not long after, Yuan Shang's 150,000 army also quickly moved in the direction of Sun Quan.
The news of Liu Hong's army and Yuan Shang's army attacking one after the other was also quickly transmitted back by the spies in front.
When Sun Quan learned about this, his expression suddenly froze.
"Liu Hong and Yuan Shang are too deceitful! I led my troops to attack at the ceremony of my enthronement! ”
"Such a despicable heart, it should be killed!"
Sun Quan slammed his fist on the table in anger.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu on the side couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Are you embarrassed to say that people are despicable?
As soon as Zhou Yu thought of those very skilled generals and soldiers not long ago, he knew that this was planned by Sun Quan a long time ago.
But I don't know anything about it.
It's just that Sun Quan did it from him.
It's just that Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Now that the war is coming, looking at the 150,000 army, except for Pan Zhang, he is the only one left who can provoke the beam.
But Sun Quan was still wary of himself.
This made Zhou Yu really unacceptable.
"Gong Jin, now that Liu Hong and Yuan Shang's army is attacking, our army's heart has not yet been reorganized, what should we do?"
After being angry, Sun Quan gradually calmed down and asked Zhou Yu on the side.
The latter shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and sighed: "If the emperor had listened to my advice today, Liu Hong would not have sent troops to attack so quickly." ”
"Yuan Shang obviously discussed with Liu Hong to send troops together, but obviously he didn't know about Liu Hong leading the army to attack at this time, so he would act one step behind."
"It's a pity...... In just one day's work, the morale of our army can be reorganized. ”
Hearing the complaining meaning in Zhou Yu's words, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Sun Quan's eyes, but he immediately covered it up.
"Please also ask Gongjin to help me!"
Sun Quan said.
"Alas...... Now, the only way to do this is to hold the walls and wait for the army to come back. ”
"But in these days, the emperor must take the lead and lead his troops to resist the attack of the army on the city wall."
"Although there is a certain danger, it is the best way to stabilize the morale of the army."
Zhou Yu said.
But if Sun Quan listened to him today, it would be impossible for him to fall into such a passive position.
So far, I can only pray that Yuan Yao's army and the 100,000 allied troops of the princes will come as soon as possible.
If Liu Hong and Yuan Shang don't count the battle damage.
It is likely that Jijun will not last five or six days.
Liu Hong's army took the lead in killing the city.
Siege ladders slowly approached the city walls, and behind them were huge catapults throwing boulders.
Arrows obscured the sky and muskets spewed out.
The 100,000-strong army roared and rushed towards the Yangzhou defenders.
Shouts of killing, screams and roars mingled.
A vicious battle quickly began.
An hour after the battle began, Yuan Shang's army and Liu Hong's army converged and fought together against the Yangzhou defenders.
The strength of the 250,000 troops increased the pressure on the 150,000 defenders of Yangzhou.
The two sides are not just a numerical disparity.
Even the quality of the soldiers, whether it is Yuan Shang or Liu Hong's army, they have all gone through battles.
Where is the Yangzhou garrison with 100,000 reserve soldiers comparable.
It was the Yangzhou garrison who soon fell into a disadvantage and could only resist bravely.
Fortunately, Liu Hong and Yuan Shang couldn't attack it for a while.
