Su Yan didn't know that his radical methods against the traitor caused Kong Youde to not dare to surrender to him easily, but even if he knew, he would only laugh it off.

He didn't regret his methods against those rare traitors, if he really wanted to say that he regretted it, he still regretted that he didn't let Zhu Chenggong send Geng Jimao to him, if Geng Jimao was sent to him, he would have to let him taste the torture of Shang Ke Xi.

In early August, the Chu army launched another onslaught on the city of Changsha, the city of Changsha was almost completely devastated under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Chu army, the city wall collapsed to varying degrees in many places, the morale of the Qin army in the city was shaken, and the defenders of each gate also appeared more or less desertion.

Before the siege of the city, the Chu army carried out an artillery bombardment of the city as usual for an hour, and after the shelling, the collapse of the Changsha city wall was even more serious, and a section of the city wall of Liuyangmen, the main target of the shelling, even collapsed directly, forming a large gap three meters wide, and the collapsed masonry and stone ruins were piled up to form a slope, allowing the army outside the city to enter directly.

The commanders on both sides knew that this gap would be the core of the rest of the battle, and the gains and losses of the gap would directly affect the change of hands of the city.

"Attack!"

With the passionate attack horn, the second siege of the Chu army started again, and countless foot soldiers stepped on neat steps and rushed towards the city wall one after another.

On the battlefield of Liuyangmen, eight rocket launchers did not rest, and launched a terrifying roar aimed at the gap, and 32 rockets fell around the gap with a scream like a grim smile.

After the rocket landed, the inside and outside of the gap suddenly turned into a raging sea of fire, and the Qin army who was waiting behind the gap was dealt a heavy blow, and the fire caused by the rocket engulfed the defense line they organized, and the heart-rending screams of the Qin soldiers echoed in the sea of fire.

After the last retaliatory artillery bombardment by the Chu army, the city artillery deployed by the Qin army on the city walls was basically destroyed, so the defenders could only hide behind the battlements that were still intact, and shoot at the enemy troops who came into their range with bows and crossbows.

As a result, their firepower became much thinner, and the Chu army advanced under the city walls with only minor casualties.

What followed was a fierce fight.

The Chu army launched an extremely fierce attack on the gap after being bombarded by rocket artillery, and the Qin army behind the gap had not yet come out of the shelling just now, and the onslaught on the Chu army could not be parried, so it could only retreat step by step.

In order to plug the gap, Zhang Hu, the chief general of the Qin army, was also ruthless, and mobilized all the reserves in the city and deployed them behind Liuyang Gate, but what he didn't expect was that this was self-defeating.

The Chu army's rocket artillery turned to shell behind the city wall after the friendly forces attacked the gap, hitting the Qin reserves assembled behind, causing more casualties and making the Qin army's morale more and more shaken.

After the gap, the Qin army was defeated and retreated, and the city wall was also in decline, and the Chu army only invested the cheapest cloud ladder, and attacked the city wall with the most primitive ant attachment, and the Qin army on the city wall had no intention of resisting, they only resisted for a while to show their loyalty to the king of Qin, and then gave up the city wall.

The Chu army then took over the city wall, and condescendingly poured fire on the Qin army under the city wall, the Qin army could not defeat the enemy in close combat, and suffered from the fire of the Chu army, and finally was overwhelmed and fled in a hurry.

Seeing that the city wall had been occupied, and continuing to fight here would only increase casualties, Zhang Hu could only order to abandon the Liuyang Gate, withdraw the army into the city, and rely on the complex terrain in Changsha City to start street battles with the Chu army.

He also encouraged the officers and men in the army: "Continue to hold on, the lord of the country has sent a large army to relieve the siege of Changsha, as long as we can hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, the reward of the lord of the country is indispensable, glory, wealth and women have everything!" ”

Although his encouragement was somewhat perfunctory, it still had some effect, and the defenders were fantasizing that the reinforcements of the King of Qin were coming to this side, so that they could continue to hold on after the gap in the wall fell into the hands of the enemy.

Except for the Liuyang Gate, the rest of the gates were also fiercely attacked, and the gates were gradually lost, and the Qin army was almost completely defeated, so they could only retreat into the city.

The reinforcements that the Qin army was expecting did not come, to be precise, in the case of the three horses passively facing the battle, Zhang Sheng, the only one who was loyal to Sun Kewang and obeyed orders, was also worried that he would be alone and be made dumplings by the enemy.

Therefore, he also followed the three horses (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 267: The Fall of Changsha

Slow down the speed of the march, it has just passed Baoqing Mansion at the moment, and even if it is a rapid march, it will take several days to cross the Xiangjiang River.

Therefore, the Changsha Qin army was destined to not wait for their reinforcements.

After the fall of the gates of Changsha, the Chu army continued to advance into the city, and the Qin army launched a more bloody and tragic street battle, the Qin army relied on the complex terrain in the city and the streets and alleys extending in all directions to continuously attack and intercept the Chu army, the Chu army had to take every step of the camp, block by block and the Qin army to fight.

The battle of Changsha lasted for two days and two nights, and the Qin army in the city finally announced its surrender, and the main general Zhang Hu killed himself in despair.

After a fierce battle, the city of Changsha was seriously damaged, and the soldiers and civilians in the city also suffered heavy losses, and the residential buildings near the city wall were affected by the shelling, or were hit by rocket artillery and destroyed in the sea of fire.

In the street battle after the city was broken, the two sides fought more fiercely, the Chu army invested grenadiers in the street battle, and the Qin army also sacrificed thunder, so that most of the buildings in the city were affected, but fortunately, the Chu army Ji Qiu did not commit any crimes, so as to avoid the people in the city being poisoned by more serious military disasters.

The news of the destruction of Changsha City soon came out, and Zhang Sheng, who led his troops into Xiangxiang County, heard that the provincial capital had fallen and Zhang Hu had killed himself.

He and Zhang Hu are brothers of the same mother, they joined the army together, were born and died, and were knighted together, thinking that they could return to their hometown together, but they didn't expect Zhang Hu to die before him like this.

(Because I didn't find the information of these two people, I set myself as brothers, so it's not clear in history)

After Zhang Sheng woke up, he gritted his teeth and the mage must avenge Zhang Hu, urging his soldiers and horses to speed up the march, although he was full of hatred for the Chu army in his heart, but he also knew that for the death of his brother, the three horses were also responsible, if it wasn't for their passive battle, forcing themselves not to dare to advance alone, how could they not catch up with the fall of Changsha?

Therefore, it is not surprising that the hatred of Sanma in his heart also arises spontaneously.

However, he still retained a little reason in his heart, so that he would not lead the army to attack and kill the army of the three horses, he decided to borrow a knife to kill, seize the handle of the three horses and report to Sun Kewang, borrow Sun Kewang's knife to get rid of these three people, and avenge his brother!
