Ten large "Yam Luo Divine Thunder" fell from the sky, hissing and sparking, and they looked like ordinary large iron balls with strange shapes.
Trebuchets are not uncommon in the Three Kingdoms. In the previous Battle of Guandu in the north, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both made a large number of trebuchets and put them on the battlefield. However, the trebuchets were all fired. Iron is used like this.
This was the first time I saw the scene of the ball being consumed.
"Haha! This group of thieves and thieves in the Blood Flag Army are so prodigal. It's obvious that they are all a bunch of brainless fools. Everyone, hide, wait until these iron balls fall to the ground, and send them to the city so that you can get some weapons for everyone!"
A centurion on the city wall looked at the ten big iron balls flying over with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule. Throwing iron balls as if they were stones, what else could he be but a fool?
But facts have proven that generally when you treat others as fools, you yourself are really stupid.
Ten iron balls flew to the top of the city wall and exploded three meters away from the wall stacks. The huge explosions merged together, making Gao Shun, who was standing three miles away from the city wall, feel deafening.
The screams were heard but they could not be heard. The unprepared defenders within 500 meters were basically deafened. But the Blood Flag Army who fought with them were well prepared and had linen stuffed in their ears. Look.
When the iron ball came flying, they all huddled up and hid under the wall, holding their heads, closing their eyes, and covering their ears.
"kill!"
Taking advantage of the silence caused by the thunder of Yama on the city wall, three ladders were set up on the city wall. Behind them, groups of elite Blood Flag Army soldiers carrying daggers and arm shields climbed up the wall along the ladders like monkeys.
When they stepped onto the 50-meter section of the city wall that was ravaged by ten Yama divine thunders, the fierce soldiers of the Blood Flag Army couldn't help but their throats trembled and they almost vomited.
Fragmented! The first word that came to the minds of the elite Blood Banner Army who stepped onto the city wall was "broken."
The stumps and broken arms were like crushed clay dolls, spread in tatters on the ground and stuck to the walls. The ground was full of minced meat, organs and blood. In addition to the smell of blood, the smell in the nose was
A strong burning smell.
Remember, there were at least a hundred defenders on this section of the city wall, right? Now it's empty and not a single living person has been seen.
The three ladders, without intervention, can send fifty people up every minute. It would take at least five minutes for the defenders elsewhere on the city wall or the defenders behind the city wall to support them. But the huge one just now
The explosion has caused the defenders to fall into shock and fear. If they want to support this place, they don't know how long it will take to come back to their senses.
Not long after, the Blood Flag Army who discovered the fighter plane immediately added two more ladders to this section of the city wall. In just six or seven minutes, the number of Blood Flag Army who climbed the city wall reached more than 300!
Defending a city is different from fighting in the wild. The defending side has an absolute advantage and relies on the city wall to dominate. It is common for one to fight ten. But once the enemy forces climb the city wall and gain a firm foothold, it will be troublesome. Because the width of the city wall is only two meters.
It is three feet wide and cannot accommodate many people. It will be too difficult to drive down the enemies who have been killed.
Gao Shun saw the sudden change in the situation in the distance, and the corners of his mouth turned upward. He did not expect that the "Yam Luo Divine Thunder" would be so effective. If he fired a few more on other city walls, it would probably be easier to take down Jianwei City.
.But when he thought of the high cost, Gao Shun still resisted such thoughts and couldn't bear it.
Once the first loophole appears, it is like a dam with a surge of pipes. It is extremely difficult to plug it again. This is especially true when facing the Blood Flag Army, which already has an absolute advantage in terms of individual strength.
Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters. The Blood Banner Army captured more and more city walls. Even if the defending generals recovered from the shock of "Yam Luo Divine Thunder", they were unable to recover.
When the Blood Banner Army captured the city gate and led troops into the city, Jianwei completely jumped from Liu Zhang's territory to Liu Xie's embrace.
Of the 10,000 defenders, less than 3,000 were captured, and the rest had already taken advantage of the chaos. However, it was because they were too unprepared that the large amounts of food and grass stored in the city were not taken away or burned. They were all cheap and lightly packed.
Blood Banner Army. At least the food and grass in Qianwei City is high enough so that this partial army can have no worries for two months.
The news of the fall of Jianwei and the arrival of the main force of the Blood Banner Army in Guanghan City reached Liu Zhang's hands. After a few glances, Liu Zhang felt his eyes blurred, and he fainted with a groan.
The first thing he said after waking up was: "Send fast horses to Jingzhou to ask for help. No matter what Liu Biao asks for, you will agree to it! Go quickly!"
"My lord, the most urgent thing now is to seek peace talks!"
"Lord, if you continue to delay, once Guanghan also falls into the hands of the other party, you will lose any bargaining chips!"
Liu Zhang was furious. He ordered the counselors who advocated peace talks with the Blood Banner Army to be beaten out with sticks. Although he was not smart enough, he was not stupid either! Now that the army is approaching the city, why talk? People can spit out the meat in their mouths.
Will I give it back to you? If it were him, he would never talk to you a word. What difficulties would there be in winning Guanghan and then Chengdu?
In such a situation, Fazheng in Chengdu seemed extremely busy. There were many guests at the door. They all came in through the back door in disguise in the middle of the night. All of them were Liu Zhang's bosses. Because Fazheng had made rumors before
, there were many people in the circle. At that time, they did not express their position or report anything, they were just waiting for the situation to become clear.
But no one expected that the Blood Banner Army would be so ferocious. In less than two months, Liu Zhang had been beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back. Now they are all extending olive branches to Fazheng, hoping to keep their own troops after Liu Zhang's defeat.
root.
For those who want to surrender, Fazheng's attitude has become ambiguous. The implication is: Want to surrender? Yes, but you have to show some sincerity, right? For example, kill Liu Zhang secretly? Or directly contact various companies in the country?
The connections in Guanghan persuade the defenders of Guanghan to surrender? Just want to surrender with empty words? It's not that easy.
The big guys in Chengdu have different ideas and don't know what they are planning. No one is willing to give a clear reply to Fa Zheng's request. They are all a bunch of wastes who are looking forward and looking back. No wonder they can thrive under Liu Zhang.
"Huh! I'm still thinking about it now. If you want to please both front and back, just go ahead and dream about it. When Guanghan City is destroyed, there won't even be a way for you to seek refuge!" Fazheng looked at the spread on the table with a smile.
All kinds of property, but there was a gloomy sneer on the corner of his mouth.
In Guanghan, which is hundreds of miles away from Chengdu, there is also an undercurrent in the city at this time. After receiving the news that Jianwei has been lost and Chengdu is in danger, the circle of mid-level officers in the city is also full of worries. Among them is a child of a noble family, Zhang Song.
This fellow was a close friend of Fazheng, and both had long been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. At this time, Zhang Song had also followed Fazheng and defected to the Blood Banner Army.
Faced with the critical situation, Zhang Song secretly lobbied and soon gathered nearly half of the mid-level officers. While the garrison general was organizing countermeasures overnight, he immediately launched a mutiny. Not only did he kill one of the garrison generals, but he also quietly
Open the city gate and let the Blood Flag Army's forward battalion, which has been lurking for a long time, enter the city.
At dawn, Guanghan, which had been shouting for kill for most of the night, finally returned to relative peace. However, when the people carefully looked at the flag hanging high on the city head, they found that the owner had changed overnight.
In less than two months since the Blood Banner Army started this winter offensive, Liu Zhang's forces in Sichuan had been compressed into the small area of Chengdu and Wenshan, and were destroyed in a matter of seconds.
After receiving the news, Liu Biao's army wanted to cut into the Blood Banner Army base camp from the Xinggu line in the south to support Liu Zhang. However, after crossing the mountains and ridges, they were blocked at a fortress a hundred miles away from Xinggu. Wu was responsible for the blocking task.
Yi and the five thousand sergeants who surrendered with him, plus three thousand militiamen.
But if he wanted to fight hard, Liu Biao knew that there would be no chance within a month or two. Because once the main force of the Blood Banner Army captured Chengdu, there was no need to turn back, and they could directly cross the Danqu and Badong lines and attack the Jingzhou Fortress.
Earth. Instead of fighting like this and ending up in a bad battle, it is better to retreat and wait quietly to see what happens.
As a result, Wu Yi and Liu Biao's army, which did not fight fiercely, faced off for several days, and then Liu Biao's army retreated to their own territory.
At this point, Chengdu became an isolated city. Ten days after the siege by the Blood Banner Army, Liu Biao was assassinated on his bed by his cronies, and all his family members, old and young, died with him. On that day, the city gates of Chengdu were opened wide, and the Blood Banner Army entered the city, completely declaring Liu Zhang's power.
Withdrew from the chessboard of the Central Plains and was replaced by a scarlet-mottled blood flag without words.
