I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398 The boat goes off to Jingzhou

When the Wu troops near the collapsed city wall fled in large numbers, the panic in the city quickly spread through uncontrollable events.

Sun Jun himself was so frightened that his face turned pale, and some people around him were even so frightened that they fell to the ground and screamed.

How depressing can the atmosphere be when the two armies confront each other?
In ancient times, there were roars.

Camp roars usually occur the night before a game.

The reason why the camp roar happened is because the war was not fought in a certain year and month in the history books, fought in a certain place, and caused many casualties.

But every living person, facing the most unreasonable killing in the world, may die at any time.

Howling is a normal reaction of a creature facing possible death.

Then when we go to the battlefield the next day, the depressing feeling of death will be even stronger.

After both lines of defense were torn apart by the Han army, the morale of the Wu army was severely hit. Many people stood at the top of the city and were very nervous.

I was so nervous that my whole body was tense.

And with this loud noise, the tense people no longer tensed up, but collapsed.

Including the soldiers near Sun Jun.

Just like everything in history, everything collapsed.

From Zhuge Ke's point of view, he certainly thinks that Wu Jun was not like this, because Zhuge Ke knew that all 800 kilograms of gunpowder had to be used to achieve such great power.

And before the actual battle, Zhuge Ke had already seen gunpowder with Li Heng.

Of course he doesn't have to be afraid.

But Wu Jun had a completely different mentality.

After the first blow, the frightened person waits for the second and third blow in an emotional breakdown.

What's more, at this time, Zhuge Ke ordered the Han army to rush towards the blasted city wall.

"Run!"

Chengtou didn't know who it was, but the first one shouted out, and the others immediately turned around and ran away.

Next, more people ran away from the city.

Some people were even pushed and fell off the city wall.

"General, our army has entered the city." Du Yu said.

"Well, I saw it. Wuchang has no power to resist!" Li Heng said, "The main force does not need to stop, continue to advance eastward, and go straight to Jianye!"

Seeing that Wuchang was blasted away, the main force of the Han army set sail down the Yangtze River.

In history, when the Mongolian army used Huihu artillery to bombard Xiangyang City for the first time, the Xiangyang defenders surrendered in fear.

It's because the willpower has collapsed. Otherwise, with the style of the Song Army, there would still be street fighting.

Li Heng believed that the willpower of the Wu army in the city had collapsed after being exposed to eight hundred kilograms of gunpowder.

Zhuge Ke went to the city just to clean up the mess.

Next, the entire western front of Wu State just quickly regrouped and continued to hunt down the participating forces.

Li Heng's prediction was indeed correct, and Zhuge Ke himself felt incredible. He had never fought such a smooth battle in his life.

All of a sudden, the enemy army collapsed and our army entered the city forcefully.

The Han troops entering the city were like wolves entering the sheepfold. When they saw the Wu troops entering the city, they began to kill them.

The order in the city collapsed at the speed of the naked eye, starting with the North City. The collapse of the North City swept southward like a tide.

Soon widespread collapse occurred.

Wu Jun, who originally defended his position, heard countless screams of terror and saw countless people running away, so he also threw away his armor and fled.

Zhuge Ke sighed helplessly: "I failed to show off my talents!"

Sun Jun was escorted by the guards and forced his way out.

It is said that his soldiers cut down countless of his own people and led him out of the city.

By evening, those who could escape from the city had all escaped. Those who could not escape were trampled to death and killed.

The prosperous Wuchang has turned into a hell.

When order breaks down, ordinary people cease to be human. But Zhuge Ke was still muttering: "I still haven't been able to show off my talents!"

On the river, the one who stayed to provide material support to Zhuge Ke was his younger brother Zhuge Rong.

When it was dark, news of the Han army's raid on Wuchang reached Shiyang City in Cao Wei's Jiangxia County.

Wang Ji, the governor of Jiangxia County, was shocked: "Inform Luoyang quickly!"

At this time, Jianye did not know that Wuchang had been captured by the Han army.

At least the letter sent by Sun Jun during the day was still on its way.

Sima Yi didn't know that Li Heng had already made a lightning raid on Wuchang, and captured Wuchang in only half a day.

The soldiers were very fast, and Li Heng's main force never stopped for a moment.

On the morning of February 20th, Jianye City was as quiet as usual.

The calm surface of Xuanwu Lake is filled with soft spring light, and there are gorgeously dressed people admiring the brilliant cherry blossoms and peach blossoms by the lake.

At the Yangtze River ferry in the distance, trackers pulled merchant ships to the shore. Soon, a large number of civilians rushed up and began to carry goods.

There was leather transported from Hefei, grain transported from Yanzhou, salt transported from Xuzhou, and horses from Youzhou.

Jianye has become the commercial center of Southeast China.

When the peasants finish unloading the goods, the merchants will pay them on the spot.

After a night's work, some people went to the ferry restaurant to buy wine.

It is said that a high-strength wine was recently introduced from Gangneung and is very popular.

After a hard night of these manual labors, after drinking, I can go home and have a good night's sleep.

But at this moment, a hurried figure disrupted the order of the ferry.

After a man got off the boat, he hurried to the ferry station, then mounted a horse and ran quickly towards the city.

He knocked down several people in a row without stopping.

When the man rushed to the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards.

"Urgent report from Wuchang! Urgent report from Wuchang! Shu army attacks Wuchang!"

The messenger's mood was obviously a bit broken.

Then he was put in.

At this time, Sun Quan was still sleeping.

He didn't know why, but he had been dreaming about Lu Xun during this period.

He and Lu Xun had a good story of being a monarch and a minister, and he respected Lu Xun very much, just like Liu Bei respected Zhuge Liang back then.

He even placed the jade seal in Wuchang so that Lu Xun could use it himself.

He dreamed about a lot of his past with Lu Xun, and in his dream, he showed a gentle smile.

He dreamed of Lu Xun's battle at Yiling. Liu Bei personally led an elite army to attack. If Sun Wu did not handle it properly, he would be in danger of destroying the country.

It was Lu Xun who defeated Liu Bei with superb tactics at the critical moment, so that Ji Han could not get involved in Jingzhou from now on.

It was Lu Xun who, when Cao Pi's three armies went south to attack Wu, defeated Cao Xiu with a strategy and saved the crisis.

It was Lu Xun who built a solid defense line in Jingzhou, making it impossible for Ji Han and Cao Wei to enter.

But soon, he frowned.

There was an urgent knock on the door, and Sun Quan suddenly woke up from his dream, his forehead covered with fine sweat.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

There was an urgent sound outside the door.

Sun Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said impatiently: "Why bother me?"

After saying that, he stood up, put on a coat, opened the door and walked out.

"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! The Shu army is attacking Wuchang!"

Sun Quan's face instantly turned pale.
