Chapter 1021: The Jiangzhou defense line collapsed


Under the command of Zhao Yu, although there were only three thunder crossbow spears, all the Wei troops in the city were sealed.If Zhang Liao led many Wei troops to rush out at all costs at this moment, he would definitely suffer a serious blow, and the power of the thunder crossbow spear was self-evident.If there are only a few people and horses, if they use the thunder crossbow spear, it will seem that there is a feeling of anti-aircraft guns shooting mosquitoes, and it is in the case of many dense crowds that the penetration of the thunder crossbow spear shows its absolute advantage.As the general of the Wei army, Zhang Liao, although he didn't see what this thing was, and he didn't know what this divine weapon was, but Zhang Liao clearly knew the power of this super divine weapon.Even if he can't complete this task, Zhang Liao is not willing to let his soldiers die in vain, not that Zhang Liao is not afraid of sacrifice, but he is afraid that after sacrifice, he will still not be able to complete the task.Seeing that the thunder crossbows of the Zhao army were constantly attacking, Zhang Liao hurriedly shouted at the soldiers behind him: "The enemy's siege weapons are too powerful, everyone retreats, hurry up and close the city gate." ”As soon as Zhang Liao said this, all the soldiers behind him immediately rushed up and began to close the city gate and tried to block it.But at this moment, Zhao Jun's three crossbow arrows attacked again, and instantly hit the heavy gate with a salvo, making a slamming sound, and the Wei soldiers behind the city gate trembled.However, the three crossbow arrows fired this time were different from the past, and each of these three crossbow arrows ignited a source of fire, and after hitting the city gate, it slowly ignited.Although the fire was not big, it was also burning from the outside little by little, feeling the burning of the city gate outside, and the Wei army inside the city gate didn't know what to do.If the city gate is opened at this moment to extinguish the fire, it will definitely be plotted by the cold arrows of the Zhao army again, and even the Zhao army besieging the city on both sides of the city wall will be likely to surround it.But if you just watch the fire ignite, even a small fire will burn the city gates, and the heavy city gates will become vulnerable.Just when the soldiers were panicking, they suddenly heard Zhang Liao shouting: "Hurry up and bring some water and splash the city gate wet from the inside, so that even if you can't break the fire, you can still stop the burning of the fire." ”As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers immediately woke up, and many people immediately began to run away.In a few moments, he came running with buckets or tanks, and threw them directly at the gates.One hundred and ten people splashed a little, and Xiang Da's city gate was splashed into a moist water gate in an instant, although it failed to directly extinguish the burning place, but it successfully ignited the fire that wanted to continue burning.After extinguishing the fire at the city gate, Zhang Liao gathered a team of men and horses and began to guard the city gate, tightening the defense of the city gate.Then he led the other horses back to the city wall and replied to Sima Yi.And Sima Yi and the others couldn't help but show a burst of surprise when they saw Zhang Liao who went to perform the mission, but suddenly returned, Sima Yi immediately asked: "Didn't General Zhang Liao go to lead the soldiers and horses to kill the enemy troops attacking the city, why did he suddenly turn back, isn't there something wrong" Zhang Liao immediately bowed to Sima Yi, and said quite decadently: "Prime Minister Qi, the Zhao army has a team of men and horses manipulating the strange crossbow, when the soldiers of our army opened the city gate and did not rush out, those crossbow arrows were concentrated in the fire, directly blocked the location of the city gate.I didn't want the enemy's divine crossbow to be so powerful, even the war horse under Zhang Liao's crotch was directly killed by the divine crossbow with an arrow.If the soldiers were hit, they would be directly one arrow through two lives, which was too cruel, and the soldiers expected to rush several times, but they all ended in failure.Zhang Liao was afraid that under the suppression of the enemy's crossbows, the enemy troops besieging the city on both sides would take the opportunity to rush out and break into the city, so he ordered the soldiers to close the city gate again, and sent more men and horses to defend the city gate.Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Sima Yi and all the Wei soldiers on the scene all looked decadent and sad, and they didn't think of it no matter how they thought about it.This time, Zhang Liao, the general in the army, was ordered by the prime minister to lead the iron cavalry to go out of the city to raid the enemy's siege soldiers and horses.Not only did he not succeed, but he didn't even have a chance to get out of the city, and he was directly sealed at the door of his house by a few crossbows from the enemy, which is really too embarrassing.Now even the general Zhang Liao is incompetent, and he is easily defeated in the hands of Zhao Jun.The rest of the people lost their self-confidence even more, and the morale of the whole city plummeted sharply for a while, and the Zhao army outside the city seemed to be attacking the city faster and faster at the moment, and the intensity of the attack was becoming more and more fierce.From time to time, a few Zhao troops have begun to attack the city gate tower, if it were not for a general of the Wei army personally commanded the town, running back and forth in various weak places, and repelled the Zhao army that climbed up, I am afraid that the city gate tower has already been covered with a lot of Zhao troops.Seeing more and more Zhao troops climbing the city wall, Cao Zhang couldn't help but say to Sima Yi: "Prime Minister, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that in a moment, the city gate will be lost."

The offensive of the Zhao army outside the city became more and more fierce, and the officers and men of our army have been holding on for half a day, many of them have been empty and weak, coupled with the great drop in morale, they are unable to resist at all."

In fact, there is no need for Cao Zhang to speak, everyone knows about it, but because of the military orders, Jiangzhou is the only station of the Wei army in Yizhou.If Jiangzhou is lost, then the Wei army will really become a country outcast, but if it continues to hold on, everyone will become prisoners of the Zhao army.Suddenly, Sima Yi turned his heart to the several generals in front of him and said: "The generals are ready to gather the soldiers and horses, divide all the ordinary soldiers and horses into several roads, and guard them at several passes in the city, so as to prevent the Zhao army from entering the city.And after the elite of our army immediately gathered, they sent His Majesty and the ministers of the army to each other and began to go out from the south gate.As soon as Sima Yi's voice fell, Xiahoudun couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that the prime minister wants to abandon the land of Jiangzhou and lose Jiangzhou, where else can we go" Hearing Xiahoudun's surprise, Sima Yi couldn't help but say: "General Xiahoudun, although Jiangzhou is reluctant to abandon it, the Zhao army is powerful and has the help of artifacts.If we stay here, it will only become the merit of Zhao Jun, and it will be a matter of time before the city is destroyed and people die.Even if the general wants to lead the troops to stick to the last moment, even if it is to the last second of the battle or even die on the battlefield, but what can it be, who will integrate the will of the Wei State, and who will protect His Majesty the Wei State" After Sima Yi's sharp reprimand, Xiahoudun suddenly woke up a lot, looking at the Zhao army that came densely outside the city, he also gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.If it weren't for Sima Yi's words, he reminded himself that Xiahoudun would really stay and fight to the death with those Zhao troops until he died on the battlefield.However, thinking of the entire Wei army, after losing Liangzhou, they finally fled to Yizhou and lived in this Jiangzhou, which gave the remaining soldiers and families of Wei a place to rest.But I didn't expect that the Zhao army would take the entire Hanzhong with a thunderous momentum, and then rest for a period of time and go south directly to defeat the Shu Wei coalition army in Baishui City.If the Zhao army had moved south little by little with hundreds of thousands of troops after capturing Baishuichi, the Wei army would not have been so panicked.But what the Wei army and the entire Wei army did not expect was that this Zhao army actually took advantage of hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops and came from the army.Directly attacking many cities in Yizhou at the same time, so that the Shu army and the Wei army could not deal with it at all, if the division of troops to block, it would be to disperse the existing forces, undoubtedly to hit the stone with eggs, and it was very likely to be delayed by the Zhao army.Therefore, the two armies of Shu and Wei chose to gather people to defend it, and the Shu army focused on defending Yizhou Chengdu, that is, the capital of Shu.The Wei army was stationed in Jiangzhou, Yizhou, and soon the armies of Zhao Can, the prince of Zhao, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, successively broke through many towns in the southeast of Yizhou, and converged in Hanchang to capture the last place, Jiangzhou.Originally, the Wei army wanted to rely on the persistence of Jiangzhou and the unity of tens of thousands of Wei troops to have a good confrontation with the Zhao army.But I didn't expect that in the first battle, Zhao Jun would not leave all the morale and armor of the blow.I had to consider the plan to abandon Jiangzhou and withdraw the army.I only heard Xiahoudun say to Sima Yi: "Prime Minister, I, a soldier of the Wei State, if I leave Jiangzhou, where else can I go, is it difficult to ask my Xiahoudun to protect Your Majesty and wander away from the wilderness" Xiahoudun's words were obviously the meaning of the other soldiers, and they were asked in the face of everyone's expectations.I saw Sima Yi smile slightly: "Chengdu, let's go to Chengdu, although the Zhao army that attacked my Jiangzhou this time is brave, and there are Zhao Yu, the son of Zhao Guo, Zhao Can, the crown prince, and the general Zhao Yun here."

But this is not the main force of the Zhao army, with the current strength of our Wei State, there is no need for the Zhao State to send the main force to come, this can only be said to be a trump card of the Zhao Army at most. ”Presumably, the main force of the Zhao army is coming down from the southwest, and the target is directly aimed at Chengdu, the capital of the Yizhou Shu army, once this Jiangzhou is broken by the Zhao army, then this Zhao army will also take advantage of the situation, detour to the rear of Chengdu, and the main force of the Zhao army to encircle Chengdu.Even if all the Shu troops in Yizhou gather in Chengdu, as long as the Zhao army besieges it with all its might, Chengdu will face a dilemma sooner or later, if we can enter Chengdu to give assistance, then Shu still has a chance to survive. ”"It can be said that at this moment, our Wei State and Shu State belong to the same boat, and whether we can survive this difficulty depends on the battle with Zhao Jun's Chengdu battle.Otherwise, even if the remnants of my Wei State flee, we will have to start all over again after all, so it is better to fight. ”Although Sima Yi's words sounded desperate, they also gave everyone a faint glimmer of hope invisibly.At that moment, Xiahoudun began to lead the army to evacuate, but Zhang Liao still left behind with his own troops and horses, and when the army retreated, he was retreating
