Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters do not accept failure
Many holes had been dug into the walls of this warehouse by Nanchen soldiers, from where the crossbowmen fired arrows, so the Shu Han army simply smashed the warehouse down without stopping!
After all, the gap was still too small, so only infantry rushed in. After all, the gate-closing knife cart was one of the most effective ways to deal with infantry. Therefore, the only way for the Shu Han soldiers to break through this line of defense was to pile up blood and flesh.
, causing the blade of the Semen Tool Car to curl, making it impossible for the Semen Tool Cart to take a step forward anymore.
"Push harder!" Commander Nan Chen, who was behind the gate-locking knife cart, had his eyes red with fear and his voice was a bit sharp. At this time, retreating was a death sentence!
The gate truck reluctantly moved forward, but soon stopped again. Everyone knew why. This heavy vehicle could not climb over the corpses piled in front, and the wheels were slipping because they were covered with flesh and blood.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, a gate-locked sword cart was pushed away by the Shu Han soldiers holding shields. The two Nanchen soldiers behind the cart screamed and fell to the ground. Soon, they themselves were also forcefully hit by the wheels.
of crushing.
The screams irritated everyone's eardrums, and the surrounding Nanchen soldiers had no time to step forward to rescue their companions, while the swordsmen and shieldmen were anxious to block the gap.
"Come in!" Of course the Shu Han soldiers knew how much they had to pay in order to push away the door-blocking knife cart, and they immediately rushed in like crazy.
However, a dense burst of arrows soon roared in. This small gap was really easy to aim at. The Shu Han soldiers who had just rushed in almost fell down at the same time. Of course, with them were Nan Nan who rushed to block the gap.
Chen DaoDunShou.
Obviously, General Nan Chen, who was in charge of the command, did not expect his own people to be able to stop the enemy, so he simply used this cruelest yet simplest method to end it.
Looking at the corpses that fell in the gap, Tang Xiao, the Shu Han general who led the team, couldn't help but secretly sighed. These guys were really a tough nut to crack. Although he knew that Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian were watching behind him, Tang Xiao had to
The order was given to prepare for a retreat. The damage to the army has reached a certain level. Retiring to rest and recuperate will certainly damage morale, but if they do not retreat to rest and recuperate, all these soldiers may die here.
Although the order to retreat was difficult to say, there was no choice now.
At this moment, a roar interrupted Tang Xiao's thoughts, and he saw a battle leader standing up from the corpses of fallen soldiers with difficulty. Although his body was covered with blood and the flag in his hand was broken,
Although he even had to rely on the flagpole to stand up, his voice was extremely loud:
"We never say never!"
The entire battlefield was surprisingly calm. It seemed that everyone above and below the city, inside and outside the warehouse, was frightened by the scene before them.
An arrow roared towards him and pierced his chest, but the warrior still maintained his posture facing forward, and his roar still echoed in everyone's ears.
"The King of Han is behind us, we will not accept defeat!" Countless Shu Han soldiers inside and outside the trench roared almost simultaneously.
So many of their companions have fallen, and they have no reason to retreat; His Highness the King of Han is watching from behind, and it would be a shame to retreat!
The Shu Han army would not accept such retreat!
This army, along the way, never retreats or accepts defeat!
"Kill!" The war leader and the generals roared, and continued to rush towards the gap that was almost filled with corpses. "Long live the King of Han!"
"Long live the King of Han!" Tang Xiao felt a rush of hot blood rushing to his head. All rationality and order had been thrown away. He picked up the knife, shield, and launched towards the gap with his bodyguards.
attack.
The arrows shot by the Nanchen crossbowmen kept passing by, but no one stopped. They ran forward like this, stepping over the corpses of their companions and crossing the gate-cart that had been knocked open by flesh and blood.
, keep moving forward!
This is a proud army that never gives up.
Standing on a small building not far away, Xiao Shilian watched the tide of Shu Han soldiers pouring into the warehouse shouting "Long Live". In fact, the armies of both sides were at the end of their fight at this point. While the Shu Han army was suffering huge losses
At the same time, the Nanchen army was not under the pressure of their companions dying in battle or even dying together.
When the Shu Han army once again launched a desperate charge, the Nanchen army finally could not hold on anymore. After all, they did not follow a commander to fight north and south with a sense of honor without losing. On the contrary, they were in a city that had been breached.
The stubborn resistance in the city itself has a big impact on morale.
"Chen Shujian's calculation was good, but he still failed to take into account the hearts of the people. Now the warehouse has been taken down." Xiao Shilian sighed, "But there is still an inner city, what are you going to do? After attacking this way, our losses are really huge.
It was so big that at least seven to eight hundred people fell in this warehouse alone."
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Let's negotiate."
"Negotiation?" Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment.
"This battle is almost over now," Li Xingchen waved his hand, "It's useless for Chen Shujian to be trapped in the isolated city. Send someone to tell him that as long as they withdraw from the inner city, we will not pursue them."
"Can Chen Shujian agree?" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows. The inner city was stronger than the outer city. If trebuchets and naval warships were launched to attack, although it would take a long time, it would not be impossible to break through, but the casualties would definitely be higher.
Today, it would not be a bad thing if war could be avoided.
"He will agree," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "Xiangzhou is still a long way from Jiankang Prefecture..."
Xiao Shilian immediately didn't understand what Li Xingchen meant, but looking at Li Xingchen's confident look, it seemed that Chen Shujian had already agreed.
——————————
"Soldier first, then courtesy." Chen Shujian stood on the wall of the inner city and looked at the warehouse below the city where the flames had not dissipated. He stood on the wall and saw the entire battle process. Naturally, he also knew that the soldiers guarding the warehouse had already
Tried my best.
Li Xingchen's army was obviously in trouble. It suffered repeated defeats and retreated steadily. It was considered good that the soldiers of Nanchen did not defect before the battle. In fact, Chen Shujian was very grateful to them for being able to defend to this point.
Unexpectedly, Li Xingchen did not directly order an attack on the inner city, the last line of defense in Xiangzhou, but sent envoys to negotiate peace.
Footsteps could be heard behind him, and Chen Shushen led a middle-aged man into the city. The middle-aged man looked quite haggard, and his face was a little pale. When he saw Chen Shujian, he finally couldn't help it anymore and knelt down with a "plop".

"I was humiliated by the enemy and deserved death. Please punish me, Your Highness!" (To be continued)
