Chapter 2137 Attacking Shangyu
Kuaiji County has always been a rich town of fish and rice, and the previous Yellow Turban Rebellion caused a large number of people in the Central Plains to migrate here from their hometowns. Therefore, Kuaiji County has now become an important county with a dense population and a developed economy.
Kuaiji County is centered on Kuaiji County, and there are a large number of dense county towns scattered around it, which is in sharp contrast to the sparse situation of northwest cities.
This Shangyu County is one of these many counties, located more than fifty miles east of Kuaiji County. It is the only way to land from Hangzhou Bay to attack Kuaiji County. It is definitely an important throat key.
The navy led by Wenpin and Wei Yan crossed Hangzhou Bay in one fell swoop and landed in Shangyu County. Thirty thousand naval troops went ashore to launch an attack on Shangyu County, which was more than ten miles away from the coast.
At this moment, the five thousand civilians guarding Shangyu County were guarding the Wu army, and the leading general was just an unknown figure named Wu Chen.
Since the Lingtong troops discovered the movements of Liu Xianjun in time, the news of Liu Xianjun's naval army landing and attacking had spread throughout the cities along the coast of Hangzhou Bay, and Wu Chen, who was responsible for guarding Shangyu County, was no exception.
Wu Chen did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the whole city of soldiers and civilians to climb the city to guard the city. He himself even put on his clothes and climbed the city wall to prepare for the battle.
At the night that should have been silent, the atmosphere was tense. Five thousand civilians and nearly ten thousand people mobilized by Wu Chen were all standing quietly on the top of the city waiting for the upcoming enemy troops.
"Liu Xianjun is coming, can we hold on?" A young man in his twenties couldn't help but ask the middle-aged man in his forties beside him.
The man said angrily: "If we can't keep it, our parents, wife and children will have to die! So if we can't keep it, we have to keep it!"
A man next to him who was obviously dark-skinned because of fishing all year round frowned and said, "I heard that many cities in the north, including Wujun, were killed by those evil thieves! Countless bodies filled in the estuary of the Yangtze River almost blocked the estuary of the Yangtze River!
It's a terrible sight!
If we fail, we ourselves, our wives, children, and young people will have the same fate! We are all men with the help of our wives, and at this time we can only fight against those evil thieves! For nothing else, we are our wives, children, and young people!"
The people around agreed, and the panic-like atmosphere that originally permeated among the crowd suddenly dissipated a lot.
"The enemy is coming!" someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone was shocked and quickly looked outside the city. With the light of the stars and moon, countless figures were surging out of the darkness outside the city! Everyone felt nervous and couldn't help but hold the weapons in their hands!
"Prepare for the battle!" Wu Chen drew out his sword and shouted fiercely.
Wei Yan led a large army to approach Shangyu quickly and soon arrived at the foot of Shangyu County. Seeing that there were shadows on the top of the city and the enemy was ready, he felt a little surprised.
"General, there are all civilian troops and the people above. Can people send people to persuade them to surrender?" A general suggested to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan looked at the opponents on the top of the city who were all dressed in the costumes of the people, felt the other party's hatred atmosphere as if it were substance, and frowned: "These guys must be like the people before, and they all regard us as demons! It's useless to persuade them to surrender!"
He turned his head and shouted, "The whole army obeys the order and prepares for attack!"
Several generals immediately rushed into the middle of each team and shouted loudly. The Liu Xianjun troops quickly arranged in an attack formation under the city.
Wei Yan raised his sword and shouted: "Bow and crossbow shooting!"
Thousands of crossbowmen holding divine arm bows immediately raised their divine arm bows and shot at the top of the city! A strong roar of wind suddenly sounded in the air, and then countless black shadows flew up to the top of the city. The Wu army officers and soldiers standing on the top of the city were shot down before they could react!
The screams and screams sounded loudly, and the defenders who were originally waiting for the battle suddenly became in chaos! "Don't be confused! Don't be confused!" Wu Chen roared anxiously, trying to stabilize his position.
While Liu Xianjun's crossbowmen were shooting, Liu Xianjun officers and soldiers rushed towards the city wall with simple ladders!
"No! The enemy is coming!" someone exclaimed on the top of the city.
Wu Chen quickly looked out of the city and saw that his opponent was rushing like a tide. In shock, he quickly ordered his crossbowman to shoot.
The crossbowmen of the civilian army hurriedly shot arrows outside the city, and the arrows fell into Liu Xian's army, but it seemed to have no effect. In a blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers of Liu Xian who were carrying the ladder rushed under the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, countless simple ladders were put on the top of the city, and Liu Xianjun's fierce soldier bit his steel knife and began to climb the city!
"Quick! Throw the rolling stones and wood! Dump the boiling water for me!" Wu Chen roared anxiously.
The civilian army and the people on the city hurriedly threw the rolling stone wood placed on the city. In an instant, the rolling stone wood rushed down and hit Liu Xianjun who was climbing the city, falling like rain!
At the same time, a pot of boiling boiling water was poured down, and the boiling water that emitted smoke was like a devil's saliva. Once the Liu Xian army officers and soldiers who were climbing the city were touched by him, they would immediately have a tragic result of their skin and flesh blooming!
The civilian army and the people on the city wall tried their best to block the battlefield, and the battlefield was noisy.
However, this failed to prevent the brave Liu Xianjun from climbing to the top of the city. In just a blink of an eye, Liu Xianjun's warriors actually broke through from many places and climbed to the top of the city.
The fierce soldiers of Liu Xianjun who had climbed to the city immediately waved their ring-headed swords and rushed into the crowd. Whether it was the civilian army or the people, they were like lambs facing tigers and wolves in front of these fierce warriors, and were killed in an instant!
The city was in chaos, and Wu Chen hurriedly mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized to reinforce various battlefields. Liu Xianjun's follow-up troops continued to climb up to the city and join the battle along the gap torn by his companions in front!
At the beginning, the Wu army on the city wall was able to withstand the opponent's fierce attack with an absolute advantage of numbers, but as the opponents climbed to the city wall increased rapidly, they only felt the positive pressure rising rapidly at an unimaginable speed!
It seemed that in just a moment, Liu Xianjun had occupied several bridgehead positions on the city and began to quickly expand the scope of occupation!
"Don't be afraid, everyone! They are just naval troops, not real elite Liu Xianjun! Let's go together and kill them!" someone shouted loudly.
Such a roar immediately boosted the morale of the Wu army. The Wu army shouted wildly and waved swords and guns to counterattack the opponent on the city!
Fierce collisions came one after another, and the flying cold light raised countless flesh and blood. The Wu army, who had aroused fighting spirit, rushed towards the opponent wildly, trying to destroy the opponent!
However, the reality was completely different from their expectations. Wu Jun, who kept shouting and rushing forward, was successively cut down in a pool of blood by his opponent's big sword and spear!
