The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 640 639 Thunderbolt

After hearing Sun Quan's words, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Sun Ben all knelt down in front of Sun Quan, with a hint of guilt on their faces, and said in unison: "My lord, this subordinate is waiting for you!" Incompetent, unable to preserve Jiangdong..."

"This has nothing to do with you, perhaps, all of this is God's will." Sun Quan said slowly, "Zhang Yan's army is overwhelming, and I, Jiangdong, can't resist it. If we just stick to it, I'm afraid none of them will escape from this place alive. I rejected Zhang Yan's surrender today, and Zhang Yan will definitely order a general attack tomorrow. The weapons of the Han army are so powerful that they cannot be resisted by flesh and blood. If the Han army keeps attacking, it will take less than two hours. , Nanchang City will inevitably be razed to the ground. Since our army is doomed, why do you have to fight fearlessly? The soldiers under your command are all good men from Jiangdong, and they shouldn’t just die in vain.”

Cheng Pu said: "My lord, even if we die, we are still willing to follow the lord. Instead of living with humiliation, it is better to die vigorously. If there is an afterlife, we will still be willing to follow the lord, and we will never leave!"

Han Dang and Huang Gai expressed their opinions one after another. They agreed with Cheng Pu. They were neither willing to break through the siege nor surrender. They only wanted to stick to the city with Sun Quan.

Sun Ben is a member of the Sun family and a senior general in the army. Instead of crying like Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai, he said to Sun Quan expressionlessly: "Your surname is Sun, and I am also surnamed Sun. We have the same root." Tongzu, since Brother Bofu handed over Jiangdong to you, he naturally recognized your ability. It is a pity that our Sun family was born at an untimely time, and we met Zhang Yan, a strong enemy. Since you can die for Sun family, I And I will never compromise for the sake of temporary stability. Most of my subordinates are soldiers of the Sun family, and they are brothers who have followed me through life and death. Even if I am willing to surrender, they will not agree. Therefore, my lord, please don’t mention the matter of surrender. It's time, since we dare to stay, we will never be greedy for life and fear death. It is true that the weapons of the Han army are very powerful, but this does not make us feel afraid. Moreover, Lu Fan went out to contact Shanyue and has not returned yet. Now the lord is talking about surrender. Is it too early to say what happened? If Lu Fan comes back and I surrender, but the lord dies, wouldn’t Jiangdong end like this?”

One word awakened the dreamer, Sun Quan trembled when he heard Sun Ben mentioning Lu Fan, he almost forgot about Lu Fan, if he could stick to it until Lu Fan arrived here with the Shanyue people, then what would happen in this battle? The war is not just as simple as between Sun and Zhang Yan.

At the same time, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai also echoed: "Yes, my lord, Lu Fan hasn't come back yet, how can my lord give up resistance like this?"

For a time, hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.But this hope, which was just ignited like a flame, was directly extinguished with the arrival of a soldier.

A soldier ran over in a hurry, it was Sun Quan's confidant, as soon as he entered the hall, he cupped his fists and said, "My lord, there is a rumor spreading in the city, saying...saying..."

"What?" Sun Quan asked hastily.

The soldier replied: "They said that when Master Lu went to Shanyue, instead of inviting Shanyue's rescuers, he even lost his own life because he assassinated the chief of Shanyue..."

"What did you say?" Sun Quan was taken aback, and immediately stood up, his eyes widened.

"Where did you hear the rumor?" Sun Quan asked hastily.

The soldier replied: "In the city...the news has spread all over the city. The soldiers were skeptical and panicked. Many soldiers even believed it. After hearing this, one of the subordinates immediately ran to tell the lord. .”

"Rumors! It must be rumors!" Sun Ben said, "My lord, don't pay attention to these. This must be a rumor deliberately spread by the Han army. They want to use this to destroy our defensive psychology so that we feel helpless and think that we are trapped in a In an isolated city."

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai also hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, this must be a rumor. Lu Fan has always been resourceful, and there are two hundred guards around him, so nothing will happen. What's more, the chief of Shanyue is the lord. Father-in-law, no matter how stupid Lu Fan is, he would not assassinate the great chief, this must be a story fabricated by someone to confuse our army, so that our army will feel relieved and collapse."

Sun Quan did not speak, but his face was not very good-looking. In his opinion, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and only a few people know about Lu Fan's going to Shanyue. It will not be groundless.From Nanchang to Nancheng, only a few hundred miles away, Lu Fan went there for seven or eight days without hearing anything. This is not Lu Fan's style.

In the depths of Sun Quan's heart, he had faintly felt something was wrong, but he just held back and didn't say anything, and with a little luck, he hoped that his guess was wrong.

"Okay, today you all go back to rest. If there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow morning, and watch the night at night." Sun Quan said.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Sun Ben resigned one after another. After the four left the hall, they went back to their respective city gates. They reasonably arranged the time and location of the night patrol, and ordered the soldiers to sleep. Don't take off your battle armor, lest the enemy attack at night and don't know what to do when you are in a hurry.

After the four generals dispersed, Sun Quan fell into extreme anxiety. Lu Fan's problem also became his worry.In addition, Sun Quan strictly ordered that whoever dares to speak falsely again will be shot to death.

After half an hour, the rumors stopped, but the soldiers in the city were extremely uneasy. Everyone was discussing the truth of Lu Fan's story in private, which made people panic, and the soldiers didn't know what to do.

Zhang Yan's scheming of rumors seemed to be very successful. In the early morning of the next day, according to Zhang Yan's instructions, the various departments of the Han army began to gather the troops outside the four city gates again, and still attacked in the same way as yesterday.

However, this time, the defenders in Nanchang became smarter. When they saw that the Han army was about to launch yesterday's attack again, they hurriedly ran down the tower and hid far away.

After a symbolic sound for a period of time, the thunder of the Han army stopped firing, and the attack came suddenly, as if nothing had happened.

But for the soldiers in Nanchang City, this kind of attack is simply fatal. What's more, they are always worried and look outside the city from time to time, for fear that they will be confused by a sudden burst of bombing by the Han army. died.

However, the Han army did not stop attacking, but adopted very regular attacks. Every once in a while, they would launch an attack. After a wild bombardment, they immediately retreated. Make the defenders in Nanchang City look like frightened birds.

The city walls of Nanchang City were devastated by the bombing, with holes everywhere, and the city walls were even more dilapidated. The originally majestic Nanchang City has become a dangerous city.

However, due to proper defense, the soldiers in the city ran away when they saw the Han army attacking. After the Han army left, they climbed to the top of the city. After a while, the soldiers in the city also figured out the law of the Han army's attack. Attack every other stick of incense.

In one morning, they attacked almost a dozen times.

In the afternoon, the soldiers in the city had just had lunch and were still lazily lying there to rest. They had already figured out the attack pattern of the Han army, and they were also pinching the time.

However, when the time was just over half a stick of incense, the Han army suddenly launched an attack. After a lot of bombing, the soldiers in the city were unable to leave, and each of the four city gates was killed. More than 200 people.

As a result, the defenders in the city became panicked. Before the incense stick was over, the Han army launched an attack. Hong Tianlei was thrown into the city from the four city gates. A series of explosions shook the ground here, and the walls of Nanchang City were blown half short.

After a burst of attacks, the Han army did not retreat, and the front was still guarded by shield soldiers, while the rest rested in place and stopped running back and forth.

In this way, the Jiangdong army in the city cannot predict when the Han army will attack, and the attitude given to them is that the Han army may launch an attack at any time. In this way, people have to pay attention to the actions of the Han army at all times. .

Because there are shield soldiers there, even if the Jiangdong army shoots with bows and arrows, it can't hurt it at all. On the contrary, once the Han army launches a counterattack, the Jiangdong army will suffer serious losses.

Therefore, the Jiangdong Army only left a few people guarding on the tower, and the rest were under the tower. As long as the enemy did not approach the city wall, they would not go upstairs to avoid being attacked by thunder.

After half a stick of incense, the Han army launched an attack again at the original attacking place. The explosion of Hong Tianlei sounded again, and they continued to attack for a while. The place, the focus is on the city gate.

Although the east, south, and west gates of Nanchang City have been sealed with blue bricks, they can't stand the bombardment of Hong Tianlei. As long as Hong Tianlei is launched near the city gate, it won't take long. Amidst the powerful explosion of Hong Tianlei, the original city gate could be blown open.

An hour later, all the city gates once again launched a unified attack, this time the target of the attack was aimed at the city gates, thunder with sparks flying all over the sky, and landed near the city gates one after another.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Hong Tianlei really lived up to everyone's expectations, and directly blasted open the city gate that had just been sealed. The blue bricks were blown apart, stone chips flew, and a burst of dust flew up at the gate of the city. When the dust settled, The original city gate was displayed in front of everyone.

The Han army was overjoyed when they saw this, and then fired more thunderbolts near the city gates. After a series of explosions, the four city gates were blown to pieces, revealing a large door opening, which could be vaguely seen through. Passing through the gate, I saw the Jiangdong army hiding inside the city gate.
