Chapter 282 Sun Quan dies and Soochow is destroyed
With the appearance of catapults, the Soochow army all showed pale faces for a while. Facing the terrifying catapults, how could they resist?
Even the strongest warrior will be smashed into minced meat, right?
Sun Quan's face also turned pale, "Am I really going to die here today?"
The originally neat battle formation of Soochow has now become extremely scattered, and the corners of Sun Quan's mouth are trembling slightly. This is far from the picture he imagined.
They took this opportunity to attack Xuchang, but they did not expect that they would be completely defeated by Cao's army despite their numerical advantage.
The huge chariot behind Cao Jun made a huge roar every time it was launched.
Is this the thunder chariot among Cao's army?
Sun Quan showed a wry smile. No wonder Cao Jun had never used the Thunderbolt Chariot in battle. Such terrifying lethality was simply indescribable in words.
The morale of the 250,000-strong army was shattered by this thunderous vehicle.
Sun Quan looked at Cao's army in front with a deep sense of defeat on his face. In the end, they lost tens of thousands of troops and killed more than 10,000 Cao's troops.
Although Soochow had always been at an advantage in the early stages of the battle, it was now difficult to continue the battle, and the morale of the troops was gone.
At this moment, Sun Quan looked at the sword in his hand, should he continue his dream of imperial hegemony?
Then I closed my eyes, at least to finish this dream.
The noisy environment around him seemed to have nothing to do with him. He didn't seem to hear the roaring thunderbolt chariots or the screams of the soldiers.
Now in this battle, the outcome is not that important to him.
Sun Quan slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be firmer again, and then he actually rode his horse directly to kill forward.
"kill!"
As he roared, the surrounding soldiers seemed to have returned.
At this time, Sun Quan's eyes revealed an incomparable belief. Even if he died in this battle, he would be famous throughout the ages!
Since his military morale is gone, I will personally encourage him back!
At this time, Sun Quan's aura exuded more and more like an emperor. However, although Sun Quan came from the Jiangdong family, his military power was not very good.
Countless soldiers also rushed over, and there were not many of the three thousand Lujiang soldiers left.
At this moment, Sun Quan alone mobilized the entire army of Soochow Wu.
Lu Xun also showed admiration, looked at it with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, in this battle, you will definitely become famous throughout the ages!"
At the same time, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and others all showed a smile. Although they had regrets, they would never regret being Soochow people in this life.
"I want to see how hard Cao Jun's bastard shell is!"
Looking at the heavy armored soldiers charging towards them, countless people faced the challenge despite wearing leather armor.
The improvement in morale did not give Soochow an advantage. On the contrary, under the attack of the Thunderbolt Chariot and the pressing in of Cao's army, Soochow's casualties became even more heavy.
What is truly admirable is the spirit of Soochow. The battle between the two armies was ebbing and flowing, and four hours had passed unknowingly.
Cao Jun's thunder chariots were no longer loaded with boulders, but Soochow only had more than 100,000 soldiers left.
There is no longer any suspense in this battle.
Cao Cao turned around when he saw this scene and started to prepare to leave.
He said calmly: "Although Sun Zhongmou is stupid, he can be regarded as a ghost hero. Let's give him a decent death."
Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao leaving, bowed his head and said, "No!"
In the center of the battlefield, Zhou Tai's head had been kicked by a passing soldier, and Xu Sheng's whole body was covered with arrows.
Even Sun Quan's arm was hit by an arrow.
At this moment, his eyes were beginning to blur, and this battle might really end like this.
He looked at Cao Jun, who seemed to have not changed before him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition."
Then Sun Quan's vision became increasingly blurred, and the surrounding soldiers guarded him tightly. However, he had been hit by an arrow and could not hold on for long.
Originally, I should be able to feel severe pain in my left hand, but now I don't feel anything at all, and it seems to have become numb.
Just when everyone was still worried, a fierce general from the enemy camp suddenly came over to kill them.
Dian Wei held a huge double halberd, and these soldiers were unable to resist. Sun Quan was knocked off his horse by Dian Wei rudely.
Sun Quan, who was already injured, may not be able to die at this time.
With the death of Sun Quan, the morale of the surrounding soldiers also disappeared instantly. When Lu Xun saw this scene, he also coughed violently.
Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He knew that he was suffering from an old disease. Although he would not live long, he wanted to leave the last glimmer of hope for Soochow.
Then Lu Xun shouted loudly: "The army listens to the order and retreats!"
But when he turned around, nearly 50,000 troops behind him had surrounded them.
Is this also Cao Jun?
Lu Xun's mouth showed a hint of bitterness, he looked up at the sky and gave up any resistance.
A thought appears in everyone's heart.
Soochow was finished, completely destroyed.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although there has been no victory, it is still unforgettable.
Xi Zhicai sighed: "I only sigh that heroes live in troubled times."
Then he looked at the messenger and said calmly: "Send my order, and those who surrender will not be killed."
After finishing speaking, Xi Zhicai also left the battlefield. At this time, the battle situation no longer required any command.
The remaining soldiers of Soochow are already in pieces, without any vitality. In other words, Soochow has long ceased to exist.
As Cao Jun shouted loudly that those who surrendered would not be killed, these Soochow soldiers all abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Now that Soochow has been destroyed, what left do they have to continue fighting?
No more, no more!
The battle that lasted for five hours finally came to an end at this moment. Cao's army also lost more than 50,000 people in this battle.
While Gao Lan was still on the battlefield, Xia Houyuan and others organized soldiers to start cleaning up the battlefield. The corpses of nearly 200,000 people fell in a mess outside Xuchang City.
These people are all respectable people. Gao Lan sighed, Soochow was destroyed.
The entire nation's effort to attack Xuchang dissipated in just one day, like a flash in the pan.
Everyone looked in disbelief. Although this move was too aggressive for Soochow, they all admired Sun Quan.
It was not because of the demise of Soochow, but also because of the demise of Soochow.
Everyone looked towards Xuchang, all showing curiosity. Soochow was destroyed, and it seemed that the world was unified.
What will he do?
Everyone showed a look of expectation.
Yangzhou, Yuhang, and Soochow did not leave any soldiers here at all, and Zhao Feng occupied Yangzhou easily.
The frost in the morning mist is just a flash in the pan. When the sky gets brighter, the white frost will melt and the dew will hang on the tips of the branches and leaves.
At this time, a bronze bird showed a happy face, looked at Zhao Feng and said: "My lord, the latest battle report of Xuchang."
