Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 276 Fighting with Zi

Just when Qingji defeated Shen Zhuliang's Chu army and captured Juchao by means of reducing stoves, Wu Zixu was about to break through Zhaoguan and enter.

With a sound of "shua", the blood-stained Chu general Shen Baoxu swung the bronze sword in his hand, sealed his throat with one sword, and killed a Wu soldier who rushed up.

After kicking the enemy away, the red-eyed Shen Baoxu saw a Chu soldier about to be killed by the enemy not far away. The situation was critical. He immediately threw the sharp sword in his hand, piercing through the opponent's body. His chest was suddenly bleeding profusely.

Shen Baoxu's bravery is beyond doubt.

Although he was born in an aristocrat, Shen Baoxu has mastered the six arts of a gentleman since elementary school, with both civil and military skills, which is not comparable to those pampered aristocrats!
"kill!"

Shen Baoxu roared, like a tiger surrounded by wolves, grabbed another spear, and continued to fight with the charging enemy.

Even the chief general went to battle in person, and his robes were stained with blood. It is conceivable that Zhaoguan has reached a critical moment of life and death!

As the guard of Zhaoguan, Shen Baoxu had been guarding Zhaoguan for ten days. He had three arrow wounds on his body, and was accidentally stabbed in the abdomen by an enemy's spear.

The blood on his face and body, whether dry or fresh, could no longer distinguish whether it was his own or the enemy's.

"General!"

After repelling the invading enemy again, Shen Baoxu finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

Nearby soldiers of the Chu army hurried over and raised their shields to protect Shen Baoxu in the middle.

"General, you haven't closed your eyes for several days. Why don't you rest for a while and fight again later?"

"No, you can't."

Shen Baoxu waved his hand, rejecting the general's persuasion.

He was afraid that if he fell asleep, Zhaoguan would be completely unable to hold on!

These days, if Shen Baoxu hadn't personally gone to the top of the city to supervise the battle and commanded the soldiers to repel the invading enemy dozens of times, Zhaoguan might have been lost to the enemy.

So, even if Shen Baoxu stared at the panda's eyes and died of exhaustion, what's the matter?
He vowed to live and die with Zhaoguan!

"Over there in the Nest, is there any reinforcements or news?"

"No."

"Ugh!"

When Shen Baoxu heard the words, he could only let out a long sigh.

He knew that he and Zhaoguan might have become Shen Zhuliang's abandoned sons!

At this moment, Wu Jun, who had stopped attacking, suddenly shouted under the city.

"Listen to the Chu army in the pass! Juchao City has been conquered by our Wu army!"

"You have no reinforcements! Why don't you quickly put down your weapons and surrender to Wu?"

"My king has an order that anyone who surrenders will be released to his hometown after the war!"

"Chu Jun in the pass, listen..."

Outside Zhaoguan, under Wu Zixu's instruction, dozens of soldiers with loud voices shouted in unison, trying to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Zhaoguan defenders.

In fact, Wu Zixu's approach has indeed achieved some results.

At least, the soldiers of the Chu army who haven't seen reinforcements coming to Zhaoguan for a long time can't help feeling suspicious.

"Juchao City has really fallen?"

"It's absolutely impossible! Juchao has [-] of our Chu army, and the main force of the Wu people is in Zhaoguan. How can we conquer Juchao?"

"That's not certain. I have been fighting hard at Zhaoguan for ten days, but no reinforcements have arrived..."

Hearing Wu Jun shouting outside, the soldiers of the Chu Army on the top of the city couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing this, Shen Baoxu could only appease the morale of the army by himself, so as to avoid the mutiny of the soldiers.

In fact, Wu Zixu didn't know that Juchao City had really been conquered by the Wu army.

He just wanted to use this method to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Zhaoguan defenders.

More or less, it has some effect!
After all, Wu Jun attacked Zhaoguan day and night, and as the offensive side, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, let alone the defensive side?
The mental torture alone is enough to make the Chu army collapse!
As for Wu Zixu, he was acutely aware that the soldiers of the Chu army in Zhaoguan were on the verge of collapse.

"Xiong Zidan!"

"The end is here!"

"Immediately dispatch another [-] siege soldiers and [-] supervisor soldiers! The siege soldiers are killed, and the supervisor soldiers will go up again!"

Wu Zixu looked at Zhaoguan, which was already riddled with holes, and said in a deep voice, "Today, before sunset, Zhaoguan must be captured!"

"promise!"

Xiong Zidan immediately took orders and left.

He tied a crimson cloth belt on his forehead, then held a bronze sword and stood at the front of the team.

With a sound of "Duo", Xiong Zidan stuck the sharp sword on the ground, and then shouted loudly at the team: "My lords! Use this sword as a boundary, and anyone who takes a step back from this sword, the supervising soldiers, will be shot and killed!"

"For the Great Wu Kingdom! For the Great King! Kill—"

"kill!"

Xiong Zidan grabbed a spear and rushed to Zhaoguan in the lead.

The soldiers of the Wu army behind him were also inspired by Xiong Zidan's fearless courage, and once again glowed with blood in the depths of their hearts, and rushed towards Zhaoguan like a howling hungry wolf.

Seeing this scene, the Wu army supervising soldiers behind couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, and then sang loudly——

"Wear iron armor, carry a long sword..."

Hei Fu took the lead in humming.

"Wear iron armor and carry a long sword. Fight with me, the road is long!"

"Together with the enemy, to live and die together. To fight with the son, never let up!"

"Bring Wu hooks, all the robes are worn. Fight with the son, you are not old!
"Tread the wilderness, chase the bandits. Fight with your son, sing fearlessly!"

This is the battle song of Great Wu——"Conquering the Son"!
Long before the coronation ceremony of Jiji, it had been popularized in the army to ensure that every soldier could sing it, and it gradually became popular all over the country of Wu.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zixu, who was standing on the military chariot, couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

With such a bloody and powerful iron army, why would the country of Wu not be able to prosper?

Why should Wu Jun not be imperiled in a hundred battles?

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Chu army, who were on the verge of collapse, fought desperately against the swarming enemies without losing their blood.

However, such a battle of trapped beasts cannot last for too long after all.

Xiong Zidan took the lead, climbed to the top of the city along the ladder, fought with a group of enemies, and killed a bloody path, allowing more soldiers of the Wu army to rush up.

Under such circumstances, the brave Xiong Zidan was also seriously injured.

"Ow!"

After a Chu soldier was pierced through the abdomen, he still howled like a wolf, and then he hugged the enemy and bit him, and finally rolled down the wall together and fell into meatloaf!
The Chu people's will to resist is beyond doubt.

The feud between Wu and Chu, this fight, is also the meeting of enemies, and they are extremely jealous!

With a sound of "clang", Xiong Zidan was already holding out a spear, and charged towards Shen Baoxu.

Shen Baoxu was unable to fight any more at this time, but fortunately the guards around him tried their best to protect him and rushed towards Xiong Zidan one after another, which gave Shen Baoxu a chance to breathe.

However, Zhaoguan could not escape the fate of being conquered after all!

At sunset, Wu Jun's crimson banner was planted on the urn city of Zhaoguan.

Zhaoguan officially declared its fall!
