The forty-sixth chapter steals the city and retakes Shouchun
When Sun Ce brought his troops to the city of Shouchun the next afternoon, only a unlucky captain left on the city. As Shouchun's temporary supreme commander, he led a thousand old and weak soldiers to defend the city, with the purpose of dragging Sun Ce's pursuers for two days.
This time, because the Jiangdong Army brought two thousand infantrymen and some siege equipment, it was naturally impossible for him to go quickly. He did not consider that Chen Yuhui had abandoned the city so decisively and fled, but he underestimated his importance to his life.
Therefore, it was already afternoon when I arrived at Shouchun City. I had to camp on the spot and rest for a night to let the soldiers maintain their strength and prepare to attack the city tomorrow morning.
That night, an arrow with a secret letter shot at the gate of the temporary camp of the Jiangdong Army.
It was Xu Yi's letter, which explained the details of the city. It also agreed that at midnight, several Liangzhou soldiers who had mixed in Chen Yu's army all looked for various excuses to stay, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to work at night to cooperate with the army to open the city gate.
When everyone is running for life, who cares about whether you are willing to stay and wait for death? Do you have any intention? I wish you had a few more people to leave behind and buy a moment of time for your escape.
After reading the letter, Sun Ce knew that the city was empty, so he immediately arranged the arrangements. The entire army immediately took action, secretly preparing to steal the city in the middle of the night.
It was soon midnight, and the gate of Shouchun City was indeed opened on time. The rumbling sound of the door opening was particularly loud in the quiet night.
It seemed as if the footsteps of the god of death suddenly rang in the heavy night, and I don’t know where it came from and where it would stop.
At first, a guard on the wall on the night wall discovered an abnormality. But as soon as he let out a shout, he was shot through his throat by a sharp arrow flying out of some corner. But his scream before his death still alarmed the other guards.
The chaos started from the city walls without stopping, and then the vicinity of the city gate quickly spread towards the entire city. All the people who were still in Shouchun City seemed to be panicked and shouted irresistible. The calm man just woke up and continued to hide at home, just strengthening the door with various movable things, so as not to rush into the house.
More people who have not experienced the chaos, hurriedly rushed out of the house and rushed to the street with their families and few property, and rushed towards the other three quieter city gates. They wanted to escape from this chaotic city in the dark in order to find a glimmer of life. However, they often encountered chaos troops who exploded the camp, and immediately cut off their hopes of escape.
Han Dang first led his personal guards and cavalry toward the city gate and rushed into the city smoothly. On the street inside the city gate, dozens of Liangzhou elite soldiers wearing various industry costumes were fighting bloody with a large group of rioters. Some people kept falling under the swords of the rioters.
At the forefront of them was their general Xu Yi. He saw him wielding two swords that he had snatched from somewhere and wielding them wildly. Each enemy approaching him was almost swung by him. It was his hard battle that made the already crazy riot army unable to rush through the seemingly extremely weak defense line composed of dozens of them.
However, the chaotic troops in the city had already lost control due to excessive fear. They believed that every official had abandoned them and allowed them to die in this cage. Their highest commander, the left-behind captain, wanted to stop his soldiers at the beginning of the chaos, but they were immediately chopped into meat paste by the crazy soldiers. He could only watch his body be wiped out by the knife with the regret of not being able to surrender.
Now the group of rioters had only a simple belief in their minds. They must kill all the people who opened and guarded the city gate. As long as the city gate is closed, the enemy of the brigade will not be able to enter, and that will be safe.
Crazy people are irrational. They seem to have no sense of pain and are bursting out with several times the power they usually have. Even if someone in front is constantly slashed into two pieces by Xu Yi, the God of Killing, swings his sword. Some people behind them are still constantly rushing towards Xu Yi with the blood spurted out of the fallen comrade in front. They no longer care about their own lives, let alone the lives of their comrades.
As their impact was about to succeed, the embankment that blocked their progress was about to be washed away, a continuous rumbling sound of hooves rushed into the city gate.
Three sharp arrows flew across a short distance and accurately penetrated into the eyes of the three storm soldiers who rushed in the front.
Suddenly, three tragic roars woke up the battlefield where the dull fighting was happening. The soldiers who were charging wildly seemed to be awakened from their dreams. The entire battlefield seemed to have a brief pause. In an instant, the soldiers dispersed, leaving behind the dead and wounded people all over the ground and the broken limbs scattered everywhere.
Except for some of the slow-running rioters who were nailed to the ground by the arrows they chased and were caught by the cavalry and cut into two sections, the remaining remaining troops disappeared into the streets and alleys of Shouchun City.
After rushing into the city, Cheng Pu's team was shocked by the bloody battlefield. However, after being used to war, they quickly adapted and immediately began to attack and advance to the city.
Whenever someone is found, they will shout the slogan "The surrender will not die". Those who surrender will let them squat down on the spot and wait for the subsequent troops to follow up and accept it. If there is any resistance, they will be eliminated on the spot, and they will never show mercy.
As the troops entered, the resistance in the city weakened rapidly. There were only about a thousand old, weak and disabled soldiers, and not many people had the will to fight to the end. When the battle between the Dicheng Gate just now, their desire to fight was completely destroyed.
By the time the Jiangdong Army's last besieged troops also entered the city, the battle had been completely over. The Jiangdong Army soldiers took over the four city gates, and all the street intersections had been blocked and martial law were blocked. The people who were running around were ordered to stand on the spot, waiting for screening and inspection to prevent deserters from mingling among the civilians and taking the opportunity to make trouble.
When the sky was just bright, the city had completely returned to its calm state. However, the whole city seemed quiet, and there was no noise in the streets.
The street intersection was full of soldiers holding guns and knives. Only a certain street corner and the beach at the city gate had not been washed away, and the slightly black blood stains showed signs of the cruel battle last night.
The result after the war surprised the generals. When the city gate opened and the Jiangdong army attacked the city in less than a cup of tea. Xu Yi's Liangzhou elite soldiers were left, which means that nearly fifty people died under the crazy sabre of the chaos. Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little sad.
In a crazy war, human life is always as low as grass. The most important thing is human life, and the least valuable thing is human life.
Looking at Xu Yi with a sad face, Sun Ce could only pat his broad shoulders heavily.
These dead soldiers should be brothers who have been with him for many years. These people did not die in the past battles, but unexpectedly died in this city that had nothing to do with them before, and died in a crazy way by some abandoned soldiers who were originally the weak, sick and disabled who were originally despised by no one.
Who would not be heartbroken or sad?
