Sun Ce was really high-spirited along the way. He captured the huge Jiangxia County so easily. To be honest, this was something he never dared to think about before he sent out troops.
After all, he had seen the combat power of the Han army under Xiquyang.
Jiangxia County is very wealthy, with a population of no less than 400,000. You must know that the total population controlled by Jiangdong is less than three million, of which Sun Ce actually controls less than one million.
This Jiangxia is not Jiangdong, and there are no four major families. The original aristocratic families, such as the Huang family, were either killed by Wang Xuan or ran away on their own.
We are now in a power vacuum period. After being occupied by Sun Ce this time, I believe that he will be firmly in his hands soon. When the power is greatly enhanced, it will play a more positive role in the stability of the regime.
Of course, the four major families are not idle either. They will take the land route from Yichun to Changsha County, but no matter what, the benefits they get will not be as big as Sun Ce's.
Standing on the ship building of the flagship and looking at the walls of Yueyang City, Sun Ce's eyes were full of pride and ambition. He pointed towards Yueyang in the distance and shouted, "After today, half of the southeastern half of the country will be in my jar!"
As he said that, he grabbed the ancient ingot knife standing next to him and knocked it down on the wall of Yueyang City. A loud roar echoed across the entire river, "Beat the drum, attack the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the trebuchets on the five huge building ships were launched with a roar. As the huge rocks fell one by one on the head of Yueyang City, and the bricks and stones were splashed, the slightly smaller Mengchong battleship also quickly moved towards it.
As Yueyang City leaned against the city wall along the river, the archers hid behind the female wall and shot a dense rain of arrows towards the city head.
At the moment when the archers and catapults at the top of the city were suppressed, the small boats that had been prepared for landing also rushed towards the tidal flats of the river and ran aground directly on the shore. The soldiers on the boats swarmed down, carrying the siege ladder.
Shouting neat chants, they ran straight towards the city wall.
After all, Yueyang City is still a city built by the Cui family of Qinghe. The financial and material resources they can use are limited. Even if cement is available in the future, the height of the city wall is only a little more than ten meters. It is indeed not a strong city.
As for the defenders, there were not many. Wang Xuan knew the importance of Yueyang City, but it was a fact that the troops were limited. The entire Jingzhou, excluding the heavily deployed Nanyang defense line, only had about 30,000 troops in total.
Moreover, these were all drawn from the north. They were tired from fighting all the way from Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Shuzhong to Jingzhou, and they were immediately withdrawn for training after the war. Therefore, the total number of people who stayed in Yueyang to garrison was only two thousand.
Of course, Yueyang City is not that big. With the two thousand soldiers of the Cui family, the defense of four thousand people is not a big problem. However, this premise is that there are generals in charge. But the actual situation is that even if Liu Bei has more than twenty generals, it is still impossible to defend every place.
All get one.
This is also the reason why Sun Ce was so unstoppable along the way.
At this moment, in order to capture Yueyang City in one fell swoop, Sun Ce and Han Dang stood on a stern and rushed toward the water gate when the defenders' attention was drawn to the city wall.
He wanted to imitate Guan Yu's method of capturing Jiangling, break through the water gate and attack the city directly.
This is indeed a good idea. Sun Ce, who was standing on the bow of the ship, was filled with aura that was rising like a blazing flame. He raised the ancient ingot sword in his hand high. With Sun Ce's roar, the condensed sword aura hit Shuimen heavily.
On top of thick steel bars.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the entire Yueyang City Wall trembled, causing waves of exclamations.
Then Sun Ce struck down with his sword, and Han Dang's blow also came. The deformed Shuimen, who had been slashed by Sun Ce, was once again dented into a large piece.
Seeing that the effect was good, Sun Ce looked even more excited. He laughed and began to mobilize the army's cloud energy to prepare to increase the intensity of the attack.
This was the reason why he dared to learn Guan Yu's tactics. Even though his combat power was not as good as Guan Yu's, and he was not as luxurious as Guan Yu's lineup at Jiangling City, he had the Yangtze River Navy as his backing and sailed his ship directly to Sun Ce in front of the water gate.
It can mobilize the condensed cloud energy of the entire Yangtze River Navy. In this way, both the attack power and the destructive power are completely justified!
The two men roared angrily, waving their weapons like old blacksmiths, and smashed at the water gate. The huge water gate fence was constantly denting and deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With a combined attack from the two of them, Minato finally reached its limit and was completely shattered. The broken fragments swept directly across the water, setting off a bloody storm amidst the frightened screams of the defenders, and directly smashed the defenders behind Minato.
The army was defeated.
These soldiers of the Cui family cannot withstand such heavy casualties.
At the same time, the situation above the city also took a turn for the worse.
Everyone on the city wall could clearly feel the shock caused by Sun Ce and Han Dang's violent attack on the water gate just now. However, this did not bring any harm to the defenders above the city, but it had a profound impact on the hearts of the defenders.
The impact is indeed extremely huge.
Once the water gate is breached, the consequences will be that the Jiangdong navy can seize the ship and drive straight in. This will be an irreversible defeat. Who can not be afraid of this?
The worst thing is that we have no generals who can resist, which means that it is only a matter of time before the water gate is breached.
For the soldiers attacking from Jiangdong, it was great news. The city was about to be breached. This boosted morale greatly, causing every Jiangdong soldier to fight bravely to take the lead.
Just when the Han army was on tenterhooks and the Jiangdong soldiers were at their peak, the deafening loud noise brought about a moment of silence.
Feeling the violent earthquake under their feet, everyone on the battlefield understood that the water gate had been broken and the countdown to the Battle of Yueyang had begun.
The last chord in the hearts of the defenders was suddenly broken, and any trace of luck was completely wiped out. The morale dropped visibly to the naked eye, and the clouds almost disappeared.
In contrast, the morale of the soldiers in Jiangdong was greatly boosted. However, the Han army was firmly at a disadvantage, and the casualties of the Han army increased sharply.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The whole army attacks!" Sun Ce's excited roar spread throughout the battlefield with the blessing of Gang Qi. It was like a charge horn was sounded, and every Jiangdong soldier was
Then they shouted in unison.
The oarsmen shook the oars to the beat of drums, and the water waves started to rush towards the city at a faster speed.
"The invincible Han army is nothing compared to our navy!" Sun Ce shouted excitedly as he rushed into Yueyang City and imagined his happy life after occupying the southeastern half of the city.
"Congratulations, lord, you are so powerful in the world!" Han Dang also gave timely compliments.
With one hand on the ground and an ancient knife on the ground, and one hand on his hips, Sun Ce stood on the bow of the ship, laughing to the sky, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
"Hey, here we come, brother!" Wang Xuan stood on the shore with his hands behind his hands, looking at Sun Ce with a smile full of kindness and kindness.
Of course, what would have happened if there weren't thirteen murderous burly men standing in a row behind Wang Xuan with a friendly smile.
At this moment, what Sun Ce felt was not the kindness like a spring breeze, but a head of cold water poured on him for three-nine days, which was bone-chilling, because the thirteen big men were all looking at him with ferocious smiles on their faces, and all kinds of auras were rising from their bodies.
"Why don't you say anything? Didn't you roar just now that half of the southeast wall fell into my jar?" Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to imitate Sun Ce's movements and voice just now, "The invincible Han army is nothing in front of my navy.
!”
It was originally an impassioned sentence, but it sounded so harsh at the moment, but Sun Ce didn't have time to think about whether he was embarrassed. What he was thinking about now was how to survive.
"Be happy, why are you looking like you're going to die?" Wang Xuan raised his chin.
Who the hell can be happy in this situation? The corners of Sun Ce's mouth twitched and his eyes looked around.
There are only two people on my side, so what if there is a large army? There are thirteen on the opposite side, and both sides are still close at hand. How can we defeat them?
Waiting online, quite urgent.
"It's really boring." Wang Xuan pursed his lips and shook his head. He waved his hand like a villain, "Send him to see his father!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei and others swung their weapons and jumped up, rushing towards Sun Ce. With the combined force of the thirteen top masters in the world, the overwhelming aura intertwined with each other and covered half of the sky.
, dark clouds shrouded Sun Ce who was standing on top of the boat.
"My lord, hurry up..."
There was a loud noise of "Boom!"
With the combined force of thirteen people, the entire ship was enveloped in the intertwining aura. Not to mention that Sun Cehan was fooled, the entire ship was directly hit and exploded, and was smashed out of the water.
Through the huge pothole, you can clearly see the mud at the bottom of the river.
"Hey!" Wang Xuan kicked off his feet and suddenly rose into the sky. He saw fragments of ships all over the sky with a loud bang, mixed with rolling water waves, surging past Wang Xuan's feet, and quilts were also rolled up in the waves.
The beaten body was so torn into pieces that no one could tell which piece belonged to Sun Ce.
"What a pity. The majestic overlord of one party and the powerful little overlord is gone like this. He can never be found again. How to bury him is a problem."
Wang Xuan looked at the mess at his feet, held his chin in his hand, and smashed and smashed his mouth, "Could it be that the word "overlord" had something to do with the river? The last overlord committed suicide by the river, and the little one's body was also broken into pieces on the river.
"
"Will the next overlord be beaten to pieces on his back?!"
