Chapter 99: Wancheng
Seeing that one thunderbolt after another in the city was slowly rolled out, Sun Yi counted them, and there were at least more than ten of them, because the thunderbolt frame was heavy, so it moved very slowly.
Sun Yi was so anxious that he asked again, "Hasn't the sound of the Ming Di yet?" ”
Xu Yi reassured him unhurriedly, "Don't worry, it's fast." ”
Sun Yi frowned, and Bian Hong shook his head at him beside him, "Gongzi must not be in a hurry, think about the position of marquis promised by the prince." ”
Sun Yi had no choice but to endure it.
The reason why he endured in front of Xu Yi was for the position of this marquis. Xu Yi told him that Sun Ce wanted to ask Sun Quan and Sun Yi to be made marquis, but he still hesitated when he thought of Sun Yi's young and impulsive talents. If Sun Yixiao can't bear to mess with Sun Ce's big plan, I'm afraid that this marquis really doesn't have to think about it.
Sun Yi is arrogant, if Sun Quan gets the marquis, then he is the only one left among the four brothers of the Sun family without the marquis, he can kill himself alive.
Xu Yi informed him of this, which was equivalent to holding his lifeline, so that he had to temporarily bow his head and obey Xu Yi's command.
Xu Yi also knew that the third son of the Sun family did not really obey his command, and when this matter was over, he would definitely give himself a little color to take a look at so that he could get back to the field.
But he didn't bother to think about it at this time, just waited intently for the sound of the chirping in the city.
Seeing that the last thunderbolt was slowly pushed out of the city, just as the city gate was about to close, the sound of the chirp that Xu Yi had been waiting for finally sounded.
Sun Yi was the first to react, picked up the silver gun, turned over and got on the horse, "Rush!" ”
Before Xu Yi could say a word, Sun Yi led three hundred light horsemen, armed with a clever crossbow, and killed Cao Jun at the bottom of the slope.
The Thunderbolt is an indiscriminate attack from a long distance, but it doesn't do much for a close-range attack.
The escort soldiers who protected the ordnance also reacted immediately, drew out their weapons and immediately met the battle, and the escort officer led by the escort immediately waved the order flag and shouted a warning, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Get ready for battle! ”
Obviously, the spies sent out yesterday searched outside the city and found no trace of the enemy, how could they come so quickly today? Before the escort officer had time to think about the tricks, he ordered the archers to prepare to meet the enemy.
But the archers had just finished shooting the first round of arrows when they were greeted by a frenzied suppression of thousands of arrows from Karakuri repeaters.
I only heard the sound of breaking through the air and then piercing the body. More than 100 escort soldiers fell to the ground one after another, but one person was spared, and with the protection of the shield, Sun Yi only used a round of clever crossbow firing to directly wipe out this escort team of more than 100 people.
The escort officer's eyes widened as he looked at the several arrows that had pierced through the shield and shot straight into his chest, and before he could even react, he vomited blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, losing his breath.
He hadn't even figured out how he had died.
Sun Yi walked to his corpse, raised his knife in his hand, and directly cut off his left ear as a proof of his military exploits, and then directly ordered the siege of the city.
The soldiers under Xu Yi's command held their shields and marched towards the city gate in an orderly manner according to the formation, resisting countless stones and arrows along the way, even if someone was injured, the substitute soldiers in the formation immediately made up for it.
The guards on the walls immediately ordered, "Close the gates!" Close the gates! ”
The gate of Wancheng is very strong, even if it comes to hit the wood and the ladder, it may not be able to attack it for a while, not to mention that Xu Yi and Sun Yi did not bring any siege weapons.
"Get on the catapult! Go to town, get on the crossbow! ”
The general defending the city commanded the soldiers under his command very calmly, although he was not very qualified, but Wancheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as he carried the offensive of the Jiangdong army, he could turn defeat into victory.
But Xu Yi wouldn't let him get his wish so easily.
The fine work that blended into Wancheng was just at the door frame of the city gate, and a few stones were stuck when people were unprepared, which could cause the city gate latch to be completely stuck, and the city gate could not be completely closed.
The Jiangdong army was full of strength, and a group of soldiers carried the stones and arrows smashed from the city wall with shields, and finally hid under the city, pushing the city gate forward with manpower.
A group of soldiers covered Sun Yi's light cavalry and fired arrows at the city wall.
When the two sides were at a stalemate, another person in Wancheng City ran from afar, pretending to be a soldier guarding the south gate, and when everyone was already panicking, he shouted and spread false news that "the Jiangdong Army is coming, and it has led its troops to attack the south gate, everyone run".
The soldiers defending the city did not know the truth, and they were even more confused for a while, and their fighting spirit was lost by half. In a moment of panic, I didn't know whether I should stick to the city gate or not.
Some cowardly, seeing that there was no hope of victory, fled directly from the battle, and did not forget to take off their armor.
Under the cooperation of Xu Yi and Xizuo, the Jiangdong army finally invaded the city of Wancheng, Xu Yi controlled the generals defending the city, and Sun Yi counted the dozens of wounded soldiers under his command, and cut people down in a fit of anger.
After the cut, he was still angry and slashed dozens of knives on the corpse before he would stop, and all the dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction in the past few days were vented on this corpse at this time.
If it weren't for Xu Yi's persuasion to leave soldiers to supplement Jiangdong's troops and defend Wancheng to prevent Cao Ren's army from coming to capture the city again, Sun Yi would have planned to slaughter all these soldiers together.
"Since Captain Xu has spoken, then I will sell Captain Xu a face." Sun Yi said that it was to save face, but the arrogance in his tone was not like this at all.
Xu Yi smiled and said, "Thank you to the third prince, let the thunderbolt cart be pushed back to the city first, and the guards of the rest of the gates, please go and subdue the third prince." ”
The meritorious work was given to Sun Yi, which could be regarded as appeasing the anger of this son.
Sun Yi thought to himself, this Xu Yi was still a little eye-catching, "Then the captain will count slowly, I will speak well for the captain in front of my brother." ”
"Thank you, Childe." Xu Yi is still good-natured.
When Sun Yi walked away, the deputy general beside Xu Yi dared to complain, "Captain, this credit has been taken away by the family!" We're going to do these thankless things. ”
It's not a big deal, they are all brothers in the barracks, today you let me, tomorrow I let you, it's also common.
But in the past few days, Sun Yi has always lost his temper at every turn, and the deputy general is also a little dissatisfied with the arrogant appearance of the soldiers under Xu Yi's command.
Obviously, they were able to capture Wancheng, which was the credit of their Xu Zibu brothers for more than half a month, and the brothers who mixed into Wancheng as a meticulous work almost lost their lives.
But the appearance of Sun Yi and the soldiers under his command seemed to think that they were the heroes.
Xu Yi comforted his lieutenant general, "Don't worry, the prince knows it, I will also write a letter to explain the matter to the prince, and the prince will not treat our brothers in the Xu character department badly." ”
The lieutenant general was a little unconvinced, "Really? ”
On weekdays, there are some contradictions with other parts, Wu Hou can still hold the judgment, but now he is Wu Hou's own brother!
"We have been born and died for the prince for many years, when will we not be given military merits?" Xu Yi showed a mouthful of white teeth and patted the deputy general's shoulder, "Go ahead, transport the thunderbolt back to the city first, tell a few brothers to be on guard, don't relax, and continue to explore the way." ”
Even if Wancheng was captured, Xu Yi still didn't dare to relax for a moment.
