Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 812

"kill!"

On the outskirts of Piyi, the capital of Shu, the sound of killing and horns echoed in the valley.

Wu Jun and Shu Jun fought fiercely from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.

Suddenly, dust and smoke rose from the far end of the road like a whirlwind, and gradually the sound of horseshoes was heard like a torrential rain, and a group of Wu cavalry came galloping.

The generals and soldiers of the Shu army who were attacked by the enemy were defeated in the end. They fled one after another, or knelt down and begged for mercy.

After defeating a camp of the Shu army again, tens of thousands of Wu's army, led by Sun Wu, finally approached the city of Piyi!

Sun Wu's attack on Shu this time can be said to be as powerful as a bamboo, and he did not encounter too strong resistance.

Because the Shu State had already been in civil strife before, with the support of Wu State, the former Shu Lord Du Hu joined forces with his old troops to cooperate with the inside and outside, and caught the Shu army by surprise.

As a result, Sun Wu led his troops all the way to Piyi without even using the "Shocking Thunder", which can be described as smooth sailing.

At this moment, in front of Wu Jun's phalanx, Du Hu, who was riding in a military chariot, said to Sun Wu with an embarrassed look on his face: "Guowei, Du Nai, this guy has carried out a big cleansing in Piyi. The widow's old troops were killed and injured. Exhausted, it is already impossible to cooperate with the inside and outside to capture this Piyi..."

The implication is that Wu Jun needs to fight desperately to conquer Piyi.

After all, Piyi is the capital of the Shu Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Shu has been established for more than 600 years, and the fortifications of the capital are naturally extremely strong.

If relying on conventional tactics, even if the Wu army had siege equipment such as trebuchets, it would be difficult to conquer Piyi for a while, and it would even cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, Sun Tzu brought a lot of thunder this time.

"Send the order, the army will set up camp on the spot. After a night's rest, attack the city!"

"promise!"

A tired teacher cannot be used, and Sun Tzu knows this well.

After a night of recuperating, Wu Jun finally launched an attack on Piyi.

Because of the steep roads to Shu and the impassability of waterways, Wu Jun's large siege equipment could not be brought to Shu.

However, innocuous.

I saw that under Sun Wu's orders, Wu Jun's arrow array, thousands of crossbowmen, had already advanced step by step towards the city wall of Piyi.

After the Wu army's arrow array entered the range of the Shu army's arrows at the top of the city, they suffered round after round of arrow rain attacks.

It's just that in front of the arrow formation, there are still many shield players blocking, so the damage that the Shu army can cause to the Wu army's crossbowmen is very small.

The bows and arrows of the Shu people are still in the previous era, and their range is far less than that of Wu Jun's crossbow...

"Light it up! Get ready!"

What is a little surprising is that next to each crossbowman of the Wu army, there is a soldier holding a torch.

what happened?

The soldiers of the Shu army on the top of the city were quite puzzled.

This is not the night, why do we need torches for lighting?
All the crossbowmen raised their bows and set up their arrows. There was an "iron lump" tied to the arrow, and the lead wire had been lit by a torch, making a sound like a snake spitting out a letter.

The smell of gunpowder diffused in the air.

"put!"

Following Wei Capital Captain's order, all the crossbowmen immediately shot a wave of arrows in the direction of Piyi.

If there are only a few thousand arrows, it may not cause much damage to the Shu army defending the city.

However, the Zhentianlei on the arrow is not a silver-like pewter tip...

"Boom!"

Accompanied by bursts of loud noises, the flames soared into the sky, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.

The rammed earth solidified city wall was smashed into gaps one after another.

As the gravel splattered, the shrapnel from Zhentianlei's explosion directly embedded themselves in the human body, killing many of the defenseless soldiers of the Shu army.

Even if you use a shield to block, you can only block the shock wave, and the shield hand will inevitably be injured by shrapnel, either dead or injured!
For a while, screams could be heard from the top of the city of Piyi.

Limbs were flying everywhere, and wet intestines were scattered all over the ground, mixed with countless blood, making the whole city permeated with a pungent bloody smell.

"attack!"

Following Sun Wu's order, the generals of the Wu army, who had been ready to go, immediately launched an attack on Piyi in an orderly manner.

On the ladder frame, the crossbowman was replaced by a pawn, and he climbed up with a broadsword in hand.

Many soldiers of the Shu army wanted to replace them, but they couldn't stop the fierce offensive momentum of the Wu army.

What's more, they were already frightened by the thunder-like explosion just now, they lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another.

Half an hour later, after an almost one-sided massacre, the Wu army had conquered Piyi, and found Du Nai who had been burned alive in the Shu palace.

Du Nai is still a bloody man, knowing that the country will die soon, and he doesn't want to be insulted by the Wu people, so he set himself on fire...

"Bury him honorably."

"promise!"

Sun Wu gave an order, and immediately set his sights on Du Hu.

Sun Wu's meaningful eyes made Du Hu couldn't help but thump in his heart, feeling very bad.

"Come on!"

Following Sun Wu's order, two soldiers came to the palace immediately, waiting for orders.

"Invite Duhu down, so he can take care of him. Send him to Jinling tomorrow!"

"promise!"

Du Hu was held up by two soldiers immediately, no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.

In shame and indignation, Du Hu said angrily: "Sun Wu! What are you doing!"

"Didn't Ru Wu Jun come to help the widow to set things right? Why do you treat the widow like this?"

Hearing this, Sun Wu said indifferently: "Du Hu, a person like you is also worthy to be the king of a country? Detain him!"

Du Hu reacted, and when he was forked out by the soldiers, he couldn't help yelling: "Sun Wu! You old man! You Wu Guojun and his ministers are really a nest of snakes and rats, and you don't believe what you say!"

"I regret that I should have led the wolf into the house, and helped you to destroy Shu in the kingdom of Wu!"

"How can I have face in the future, see the ancestors of our Shu Kingdom..."

In fact, at this time, whether Duhu is alive or dead is irrelevant.

Generally speaking, the state of Wu is adhering to the fine tradition of treating subjugated kings kindly.

For example, Yunchang, King of Yue, Xiong Zhen, King of Chu, and Jun Jun, etc., after their subjugation, although they did not receive the preferential treatment of "destruction of the country without cessation of worship", they were still given five hundred households by Qingji. It is guaranteed that they can live without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and the title can also be passed on...

This is already a privilege.

Shujun Duhu is different.

Whether it is Du Hu or Du Nai, they are all incompetent, some brutal monarchs, and they are not popular in Shu.

After all these troubles, the people of Shu State lost their hearts even more.

Under such circumstances, it was only logical that Wu would destroy Shu.

As for the Shu people who resisted, there must be very few!
With the fall of Piyi, it means that the Kingdom of Shu has been destroyed and has become a part of the Kingdom of Wu.

The next thing Sun Wu has to consider is how to start a war against Qin.
