Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 525 Fierce battle in Chengdu

The guards on both sides rushed up and tied Zhang Ren up. Zhang Ren shouted: "Subordinate crime!"

Liu Xun said coldly: "Do you think I'm blind? Zhao Yun picked up your gun, he could kill you, why didn't he kill you?"

He approached Zhang Ren again, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "And your two marksmanship is so similar, how can you explain it to me?"

Zhang Ren lowered his head and said for a while, "We were originally taught by a master, so we naturally have the same marksmanship."

"It turns out that you are brothers from the same school. I understand. No wonder you refused to 'shoot' Liu Jing's second arrow. That's what happened."

"wrong!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly: "Although we are from the same family, we have never met each other. We are separated by decades, and each of us is our master. There is no personal relationship in this. You must not wrong me!"

At this time, Wu Yi walked up to Liu Xun and persuaded him in a low voice, "Now is the time for employing people, so please forgive him, my lord! General Zhang should be fine."

Liu Xun looked at Zhang Ren coldly for a while, then waved his hand, "Let him go!"

The soldiers untied him, and Zhang Ren clasped his fists in gratitude, "Thank you, Young Master, for your forgiveness."

"Although I let you go, I'm not letting you go. I'll lower you to General Ya, and hand over your subordinates to General Wu. You are not allowed to lead a single soldier!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xun got on his horse, beat the horse and drove away. Zhang Ren watched him go away, and couldn't help but sighed. Let's go! I'll persuade you again when I have a chance."

Zhang Ren smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Thank you General for your comfort, but he can't even tolerate his own brother, can he tolerate me?"

Zhang Ren stood up and left, Wu Yi was stunned, he always thought that Liu Wei died in the "rebel" army, but Zhang Ren had something to say, could it be that Liu Wei was killed by Liu Xun?He was a little confused.

. . . . . . . .

Liu Xun returned to the state government worriedly. He entered his official room, and his staff Yin Mo greeted him with a smile: "I have checked the accounts clearly. There are 54 shi of grain in the treasury, 1 million in money, and [-] jin of gold, which is enough for us Support for more than a year."

"Thanks for your hard work, sir." Liu Xun agreed casually, returned to his seat and sat down, staring blankly at the outside of the hall, appearing absent-minded.

"My lord, what happened?" Yin Mo asked cautiously.

Liu Xun shook his head, "It's Zhang Ren, it bothers me!"

"Zhang Ren?" Yin Mo was a little strange, "Hasn't he always been loyal to the young master?"

"Knowing people, knowing the face, but not knowing the heart, I used to think that he was loyal to me, but today I found out that he and Zhao Yun are brothers from the same school."

Liu Xun raised his head, stared at Yin Mo and said, "I heard that Liu Jing's martial art is also in the same line as Zhao Yun, so Zhang Ren should also be in the same school as Liu Jing, so he shot Liu Jing with one arrow today, but he refused to shoot the second arrow. "Shot", how can you hide these subtleties from me?"

Yin Mo has been with Liu Xun for three years and knows him very well. Liu Xun is not as vicious and insidious as Liu Wei. In his heart, Xun is narrow-minded, can't tolerate others, and has a strong hatred, but he usually hides it very well, even his father can't see it.

Moreover, the cause of Liu Zhang's death is unknown. Liu Xun has always accused his brother Liu Wei of buying off the guards, but Yin Mo has a feeling that Liu Zhang is very likely to be Liu Xun's hand, because Liu Zhang gave Liu Wei the military power in Hanzhong, which made Liu Xun feel There was panic, and he had a motive for killing his father. [

Of course, it is also possible that Jingzhou did it, but they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find where Jingzhou did it.Liu Zhang's death is still a mystery.

Yin Mo persuaded him: "Zhang Ren learned art from his master 40 years ago, and Zhao Yun is not yet 40 years old, let alone Liu Jing, even if he is from the same school, it doesn't make much sense. Zhang Ren has no need to betray the lord."

"You are wrong!"

Liu Xun shook his head and said: "If Zhang Ren didn't need to betray me, then why did Zhang Song betray my father and want to dedicate Yizhou to Liu Bei? In the final analysis, it was for the interests of the family, and the interests of the Zhang family are the object of their allegiance. It is not our father and son, once Liu Jing promises to protect the interests of the Zhang family, Zhang Ren will definitely betray me, not to mention that I am not a state pastor appointed by the imperial court, so far no one is willing to call me a state pastor."

Yin Mo agreed, pondered for a moment and said: "If you really can't keep Chengdu, surrender is actually an option, at least you can keep your son and family."

Liu Xun turned his head and glared at Yin Mo, "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, I will let you out of the city right now!"

Yin Mo was so frightened that he knelt down, "This subordinate didn't mean that, the young master misunderstood."

"Humph!"

Liu Xun snorted heavily, "Go! I don't want to see anyone now, so let me be quiet for a while."

Yin Ming got up and saluted, then slowly retreated, and walked out of the room. He heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head. At this moment, there was a sound of 'Bang! There was a crisp sound, only to hear Liu Xun yelling hoarsely in the room: "They are all a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, unfaithful bastards!"

Yin Mo frowned, and his heart tightened suddenly

In Jingzhou camp, a group of soldiers rushed Lei Tong into the tent of the Chinese army. Lei Tong glared at Liu Jing, raised his head, and looked at the top of the tent, ignoring anyone at all.

Liu Jing looked at him, waved his hand, "Untie him!"

The soldiers untied Lei Tong, he gently rubbed his numb arms, and said angrily: "You don't need to be so hypocritical, I won't surrender, if you want to kill or cut, I will never frown .”

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "I won't kill you, nor will I force you to surrender. If you don't want to stay, then go!"

Lei Tong was taken aback, then looked sideways at Liu Jing, "What did you say?"

"I said, if you refuse to surrender, then go! I'll let you go."

Lei Tong was speechless for a while, "You... really let me go?"

Liu Jing waved his hand, "Give him back his horse and weapons, and let him out of the camp!"

The soldiers stepped forward and called Lei Tong to go out. Lei Tong bowed his head and said nothing. He finally sighed, turned and left the big tent. Watching him walk away, Sima Yi smiled and said, "He has already wavered in the end. Why doesn't the state shepherd go?" Persuade him again?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "This person was loyal to Liu Wei first, and then surrendered to Liu Xun. He refused to surrender to me because of face, so I let him go. He will surrender heartily next time, so let's not worry."

Sima Yi gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Zhou Mu really has insight into people's hearts!"

Liu Jing narrowed his eyes, if he doesn't know people's hearts, can he be a state shepherd?He glanced at Sima Yi again, couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to flatter me, it's disgusting."

"The humble minister is sincerely admiring, not flattering!"

Liu Jing waved his hand and smiled again: "Let's talk about the plan to break the city! I want to hear your plan, how are you preparing?"

Sima Yi nodded, waved his hand and ordered to the soldiers: "Bring it up!"

Soon, several soldiers brought in a wooden city, which was a miniature model of Chengdu City, eight feet long and three feet wide, and three feet high. The city walls, city gates, suspension bridges, urns, and moats were all available, including Jinhe River. This is the blueprint drawn by Sima Yi himself. A few days ago, he ordered the carpenters in the army to start making it. After inspecting the city on site this morning, it was finally made.

Liu Jing was quite interested, and stepped forward to examine the wooden city carefully, it was exactly the same as the city he saw today, and said with a smile: "It's really hard to be a military adviser, with this wooden city, why worry that the real city will not be destroyed?"

At this time, Xu Jing also came in. He bowed to Liu Jing, stood aside and looked at the wooden city curiously. It was also the first time he had heard that the wooden city was used to study the strategy of breaking the city, which made him admire.

Sima Yi stepped forward, picked up a wooden pole, pointed at the city wall and said, "The height of the city wall is the same as that of Luoyang City, three or four feet high. Our tallest siege ladder is only three feet high, so it cannot be used. Although the ladder can be used to build the city, the ladder is only Twenty, the number is still insufficient, so it is not wise to attack the city wall."

Sima Yi pointed the wooden pole at the water gate again: "The second is the water gate, because we have a large number of warships, attacking the water gate is a shortcut, but I don't know how strong the iron fence of the water gate is."

Sima Yi looked back at Xu Jing, Xu Jing bowed slightly and said, "Shuimen is exactly the same as Luoyang, with two iron gates inside and outside, about the thickness of two fingers."

"That's exactly the same as Chaisang Minato."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "At the beginning, Ling Cao captured Chaisang City through the water gate. I still remember it vividly."

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Weichen's idea is to break through from the water city, and from the water city gate you can go straight to the bottom of the city, but Zhou Mu said it should be a siege ship. We don't have one yet, and it will take time to build it."

"How long will it take to create?" Liu Jing asked.

"It will take three days at the earliest."

Liu Jing made a decisive decision, "Okay, I'll wait another three days!"

Although Liu Jing finally decided to attack the city six days later, he still needed to put pressure on Chengdu before that.

At night, hundreds of ox carts stopped by the Jin River in the east of the city, and more than a thousand soldiers unloaded barrels of kerosene from the carts. This place is about [-] steps away from the water gate, and the Jin River flows into the city from here, winding in the city. After twists and turns, it flows out from Beishuimen, flows all the way to the northwest, and finally flows into the Minjiang River.

The soldiers poured barrels of kerosene into the river, and soon, a thick layer of kerosene was spread on the river, and it floated down the river to the city. A soldier lit the kerosene on the river with a torch, 'Boom! The surface of the river began to burn, and spread rapidly forward, rushed through the water gate, and continued to burn into the city. After a while, the entire east of Jinhe River became a fire dragon.

The Jingzhou army poured [-] barrels of kerosene into the river one after another. Thick smoke billowed on the river and flames burned, and the whole city was shrouded in thick smoke.

Above and below the city, the soldiers were terrified and rushed to tell each other that this was the first time they saw the surface of the water burning. This panic quickly spread throughout the city.

People from every household ran out of their homes and stood by the Jin River far away, watching the raging fire on the river. People discussed in horror. Many wizards even thought that it was the Jingzhou army performing witchcraft.

The people of the whole city began to panic, and many civilian husbands who applied for the defense of the city also slipped back home one after another, refusing to work for Liu Xun, their morale was low, and people panicked, even some famous families began to waver.
