Chapter 119: The Death of a Famous General (Ten updates, first order please)
Originally, if the Jiangdong soldiers in Wengcheng could calm down and under orderly command, they could lift the heavy iron gates.
But unfortunately, the more than 3,000 Jiangdong soldiers in Wengcheng have fallen into madness on the verge of death.
Now even if Sun Quan is here, no one will listen to his command, let alone Jiang Qin?
After several rounds of rockets were released, the entire Wengcheng was engulfed in flames.
The flames in the city used life as nourishment and burned blazingly. The firelight reflected the twisted and painful faces of the more than 3,000 soldiers, making the barbican city feel like an eighteenth level of hell.
In this ghostly hell, a human life is not even worth as much as a weed.
In the light of the fire, Jiang Qin, who was already desperate, knelt on the ground.
He looked up at the figure on the city wall, his eyes filled with hatred.
Until now, he still doesn't understand that everything is a ruse, everything is a plan of the man in the city.
Grand Governor, Jiangdong has been harmed by you now!
I regret coming to Jingzhou!
At this time, Jiang Qin thought of Sun Huan's final fate. Not wanting to become a prisoner, Jiang Qin took out the long knife from his waist and threw it heavily towards the city wall.
Because the city wall was so high, his long sword lost all its power before it even reached half the height of the city wall, and quickly fell to the ground like a kite with its string broken.
After seeing this scene, Jiang Qin, who finally had no regrets and was willing to serve as Jiangdong's minister of death, resolutely walked into the boundless sea of fire.
A famous general from Jiangdong died in this way.
Wengcheng is the intermediate node connecting the more than a thousand soldiers outside the city and the more than a thousand soldiers in the inner city.
The scene that happened in the urn city instantly frightened the other Jiangdong soldiers.
More than three thousand comrades were gradually annihilated in the fire right in front of their eyes.
The grand flames brought full light to the urn city, so everyone could see this scene clearly.
I saw many Jiangdong soldiers in Wengcheng, who were still running towards the city gate before they died.
But blocked by those iron gates, they gradually lost their way out.
This scene made the more than two thousand Jiangdong soldiers still alive feel terrified in their hearts.
What's going on?
Nearly four thousand Danyang warriors had not yet engaged an enemy, but they were all surrounded by fire, and the entire army was almost wiped out!
Unlike before, most of the 6,000 soldiers led by Sun Huan were Shanyue soldiers, so Sun Quan would not feel bad even if all of them died.
Tonight, in order to be sure, Lu Meng sent Huang Gai and Jiang Qin, two generals directly from the Jiangdong Sun family. The people under their command were the Danyang infantry that the Jiangdong Sun family had relied on most for more than ten years.
Once the news comes out that these six thousand elites are trapped in the public security city, Sun Quan will definitely feel furious.
Not to mention that general Jiang Qin is now dead.
The soldiers of Jiangdong, who were blocked from the city gate by several iron gates, under the command of the general, wanted to lift the iron gates to rescue the soldiers in Wengcheng.
However, due to Zhuge Liang's previous design, there was no way for too many soldiers to pour in at the city gate at once.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city cave could not rely on their numerical advantage to lift the iron gate weighing several thousand kilograms.
And because the Jiangdong soldiers in the city cave were closest to the Wengcheng, the heat generated by the burning in the Wengcheng was forming waves of heat, which were blown towards them with the help of the wind.
In this cold winter, because of the heat wave, all Jiangdong soldiers felt extremely hot.
It seems that what they are facing now is a scorching summer.
In their ears, they heard the screams of their comrades in the urn city, which greatly affected their hearts and greatly slowed down their actions.
But not long after, the more than a thousand soldiers outside the city were unable to protect themselves.
After the Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall saw that the Jiangdong soldiers in Wengcheng had nothing to worry about, they quickly aimed their arrows at the more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers outside the city.
But they did not immediately shoot at the more than a thousand soldiers. Instead, under Mi Yang's command, they aimed the flaming arrows at the suspension bridge above the moat.
A moment later, thousands of meteors fell from the sky and quickly fell towards the suspension bridge above the moat.
Long before tonight, Mi Yang had placed a lot of tinder on the suspension bridge.
Most of these tinders are combustible materials made by ordinary people using weed wicks, etc. Although they can be seen everywhere, they are extremely flammable.
And it won't emit odor like ordinary combustibles.
When the rocket landed on the suspension bridge, it immediately ignited the flammable materials.
With the help of combustible materials and the fact that the suspension bridge was originally made of wood, the entire suspension bridge quickly began to burn.
The ground in the urn city was also covered with a large amount of combustible materials, otherwise it would not have caused such a big fire immediately.
When the suspension bridge started to catch fire, the more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers outside the city became increasingly panicked.
They had just seen clearly outside the city that the thousands of comrades in the Wengcheng were perished in the flames one by one after their retreat was cut off.
Now that their retreat is also burning, why don't they panic because they have learned from the past?
In panic, more than a thousand soldiers outside the city began to flee in all directions.
Without the pressure of the two powerful generals Jiang Qin and Huang Gai, the more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers whose retreat was cut off collapsed without a fight.
No one wants to end up like the thousands of comrades in Wengcheng.
This is why any art of war reminds the leader to ensure a retreat, because once the retreat is cut off, the blow to morale will be fatal.
Fighting against the odds and sinking the boat, not just anyone can do it.
At this time, Lu Meng, who was on the high platform in the distance, his face had changed from flushed to pale.
Just after he heard several loud noises, the word "bad" already appeared in his mind.
Then he saw thousands of rockets appearing in the sky above the Public Security City after several loud noises, which made his heart feel like a knife.
This scene is enough to prove that he fell into the trap.
At this time, the west gate of the police station was filled with flames, as if it were daytime.
Lu Meng could clearly see the figures of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers standing on the city wall in the firelight.
The fire was spreading, the meteors were flying, and the 6,000 troops he sent were immediately trapped in a desperate situation by Mi Yang's premeditated ambush.
Lu Meng felt that the blood in his body was rushing rapidly, and it would burst out in the next moment.
And just when he was about to send reinforcements to meet Jiang Qin and Huang Gai, the suspension bridge that represented the only retreat for Jiangdong's army also turned into a road full of flames.
Misfortunes never come singly, and at this time, another scout from outside the East City quickly came to report the incident.
It is said that there are thousands of barbarians outside the east city, rushing towards the west gate, and will arrive soon.
Barbarian soldiers are good at running. On the plains, their running speed will not be inferior to that of war horses in a short period of time.
Obviously, these thousands of barbarians received the news from Mi Yang in advance and came to Ximen to support him.
The purpose of these thousands of barbarians was to block Lu Meng's army from coming.
Now that the suspension bridge has been lost, Lü Meng must wade across the river if he wants to send reinforcements.
But then, even if we don't mention the thousands of Jingzhou soldiers on the city wall, they are holding bows and crossbows and watching eagerly.
Once thousands of barbarians arrive outside the west gate and they attack the reinforcements from the east of the Yangtze River, it will be a huge disaster for them.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Unfortunately, this time Lu Meng happened to fall into a tiger's den.
I wrote too late last night and fell asleep.
I have been working during the day and staying up late at night to write these past two days, so I feel sleepy.
I got up a little late, I'll post the rest tonight, please forgive me.
