Cheng Lian led five hundred iron pagodas and Xia Houyuan led an army to rush into the city.
Lu Bu only gave them one task, which was to capture the granary and protect it.
In addition to the rations for Chengdu civilians, the granary also contained enough rations for three thousand Shu soldiers to last for a year and a half.
In other words, these rations were enough to feed the thirty thousand troops conquering Shu on the west route for two months.
If the granary and the food inside were burned, not only would Lu Bu's army not be able to get enough food for the past two months, but the more than 20,000 people, women and children in the city would also become a burden.
Hundreds of iron cavalry galloped quickly on the vast bluestone road, and the deafening sound of thousands of iron hooves trampling on the stone slabs made people tremble with fear.
Almost no Shu soldiers dared to intercept along the way.
Only occasional cold arrows were fired, but they had little effect on the heavily armored Iron Buddha.
They quickly reached the vicinity of the granary.
At this time, Li Yan also came with a large group of soldiers and horses.
Military advisor Zhuge Liang had given him instructions that if Chengdu City could not be defended, the granary must be set on fire.
The two armies faced each other at two intersections of a bluestone road, and in the middle of this road was the gate of the granary.
There was only silence for two or three seconds.
Xia Houyuan took the lead and shouted loudly, pointing his gun to kill the opponent.
Then the killing sound became louder, and both groups of people rushed towards the granary gate.
Xia Houyuan's big spear was swung impervious to wind and rain, and he was immediately shrouded in the shadow of the blade's light.
All the Shu soldiers who entered this range were beheaded and killed, and their blood was spilled on the battlefield.
His subordinates and Tiefutu also fought bravely.
The Shu army could not withstand this kind of offensive, and was driven back more than a hundred meters in one fell swoop.
Li Yan became anxious and shouted loudly into the granary courtyard: "Burn the granary, burn the granary, send my military order, burn" Xia Houyuan suddenly galloped towards him.
No one in the Shu army, which was about to collapse, stopped him, and they all fled to both sides.
With one shot, Li Yan's body fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, dozens of Tiefutu jumped off their horses and rushed into the granary with knives in hand.
The more than twenty old and weak soldiers in the granary didn't dare to fight these iron men, so they abandoned their swords and surrendered.
At this time, eight or nine thousand soldiers of Lu Bu's army had entered Chengdu and gradually spread to various streets and alleys.
The sand and stones accumulated at each city gate were also removed.
At dawn, after a night of fierce fighting, Chengdu was finally captured.
Lu Bu, escorted by his own soldiers, rode into Chengdu City.
Soldiers in the city escorted the prisoners to clean the battlefield, and some soldiers posted notices to calm the people everywhere.
When he arrived at the granary, Cheng Lian, who was waiting at the door of the granary, kowtowed to him and said, "Please tell me, my lord, that the grain and grass in Chengdu's granary are in good condition.
Please inspect it."
Lu Bu said approvingly: "Thank you for your hard work, Cheng Lian.
This is a great achievement."
As he said that, he entered the granary and saw mountains of rice.
But this food is only enough to last 30,000 people for two months, and production must be resumed immediately.
With Lu Bu's capture of Chengdu, the ban on land reclamation issued by Liu Bei was naturally lifted.
However, there are not many young people who can actually engage in farming.
Lu Bu had no choice but to reorganize the captured Shu army and colonize the area around Chengdu together with his county soldiers.
Of course, reclamation alone will not be enough to supply the future Jiangzhou war.
Along the Jinniu Road and the Jialing River Waterway, Hanzhong grain and grass are still continuously transported to Bashu.
These grains and grass are scattered and hoarded in the fortified city that has been captured by Lu Bu's army. .
With the conquest of Chengdu, the surrounding counties and counties surrendered to Lu Bu one after another.
Of course, there were also many counties whose commanders were close to Liu Bei and refused to surrender, so they were conquered by Lu Bu one by one.
The methods of conquering were almost all a combination of counterweighted trebuchets destroying the city walls and heavy infantry charges.
It was a full week before news of Chengdu's fall reached Jiangzhou.

Zhuge Liang felt like he was hit hard when he heard the news, and his plan was destroyed by Lu Bu again.
Liu Bei was indifferent after hearing this.
After Lu Bu conquered Chengdu, he did not rush to the southeastern Bashu region centered on Jiangzhou.
Instead, he settled on the plains in central Sichuan and built a city.
This is exactly what Zhuge Liang least wants to see.
But Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei soon stopped caring about this matter.
An even more distressing news for Zhuge Liang came from Jingzhou thousands of miles away.
Guan Yu took matters into his own hands and sent troops to attack Xiangyang, which Cao Cao was defending.
Guan Yu said in the letter that the purpose of attacking Xiangyang was to open up the passage from Jingzhou to Gucheng.
After Xiangyang is captured, they can attack Zhugu and flank Lu Bu.
On the one hand, this will reduce the pressure on the eldest brother Liu Bei's war in Shu, and on the other hand, he may be able to rescue his third brother Zhang Fei.
Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei with an almost crying expression: "At the moment, Jingzhou is the foundation of our lord.
If Jingzhou is lost, we will have no retreat at all.
Besides, even if we take Xiangyang, how can the two cities of Zhugu be so easy to fight?
When Cao Cao gathered the army from six states and went south, he failed to harm Zhugu at all.
Before leaving, Liang repeatedly confessed that he must stick to the five counties of Jingzhou at all times, so why not?
Liu Bei was not as nervous as Zhuge Liang.
He just sighed and said, "Maybe we made the wrong move when we entered Shu and didn't consider Lu Bu.
It's time and destiny."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang's face straightened and he responded: "My lord, I plan to give up Bashu Yizhou."
In fact, Zhuge Liang really hopes Liu Bei thinks this way now, because he no longer has confidence in Bashu.
If he is the one who makes the decision, he will definitely They will abandon Yizhou and shrink their limited troops to Jingzhou for another opportunity.
But when Liu Bei entered the army, the plan he gave was to occupy Bashu and cross Jingyi.
When he marched into Bashu, Pang Tong took the lead, but he also agreed with it.
Now if he persuades Liu Bei to abandon Yizhou, no matter how good the reasons are, it will be a slap in the face.
Liu Bei glanced at Zhuge Liang, then sighed and said: "You have paid too much and it is not easy to let go.
For this Yizhou Bashu, I sacrificed my reputation, defeated Pang Tong, lost Huang Zhong and his third brother, and spent several years Time.
Do you think I can still let go?"
Zhuge Liang was speechless, and the two of them were silent for a moment.
Zhuge Liang said: "No matter what, my lord wants to stop Yunchang's adventure first.
He must be allowed to return to Jingzhou to protect the foundation for the lord.
As for the war in Shu, Liang will devote himself to death.
He will do his best to defeat Lu Bu.
Drive them out of Yizhou."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "I will write a letter in handwriting and send it to Yunchang immediately, telling him to retreat to Jingzhou and not to take risks on his own initiative again."
At this time, Guan Yu had led 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers out of Qingni Pass and stationed troops in Yicheng, fifty miles south of Xiangyang.
After Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army stationed in Xiangyang, received the report, he immediately asked Cao Cao for help in Yecheng.
A few days later, Yu Jin led 20,000 reinforcements to Fancheng opposite Xiangyang.
The two armies faced each other for more than a month, calling each other's formations to attack each other, and fought more than ten times, each with its own victory or defeat.
At this time, Liu Bei's letter was also sent to Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou.
Jiangling's letter troops rushed to the front line of Xiangyang.
After reading it, Guan Yu put it aside and said to himself: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your life.
I will break the law immediately."
How can we retreat like this when the enemy is right around the corner?"
