The walls of Kuaiji City have been bombarded for six days.
"General, get out of the way!" Lu Xun, with quick eyes and quick hands, threw down Sun Jing who was commanding at the top of the city. A stone bullet flew over the two men's heads with great difficulty!
"Boom!" The stone bullets flew into the city, and the houses that were hit collapsed instantly.
Sun Jing stood up and looked at the scattered houses for the rest of her life, "My lord wrote to me saying that Jingchu has a powerful catapult. I haven't taken it seriously yet, but now I finally see it. Jiangdong's defeat was not unjust."
."
Then he looked at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, thanks to you, otherwise I would have died here."
Lu Xun held up his helmet and said, "Old general, you don't have to be polite. This is my responsibility."
"Are there no people near the city wall?"
"Don't worry, old general, the people near the city wall have been evacuated."
"No more fighting! I surrender!" Suddenly some soldiers on top of the city couldn't bear it anymore and ran towards the bottom of the city.
"No fight! This is Tianwei! There is no way to resist!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, but Sun Jing's prestige in Kuaiji could not stop the soldiers' fear.
"Come back! Come back here!" Lu Xun wanted to chase after him and stop him.
Sun Jing grabbed him and said, "Bo Yan, forget it, just surrender. The morale of the army has been unstable for a long time, and we can't stop it."
"Old General!"
Sun Jing kicked Lu Xun to the ground and shouted angrily, "As a descendant of the Sun family, do you think I want to see the destruction of Jiangdong? Only by ending the war as soon as possible can the people have a way to survive. Boyan, go ahead, go ahead and kill Jiangdong."
If the flag is lowered and raised, fewer people will die and it will be better for everyone."
"Alas!" Lu Xun sighed, got up and went to do it.
"Zhongmou, unless I am disloyal, there is really nothing I can do to save him." Sun Jing sighed as she looked at Lu Xun walking away.
In front of Liu Jun's position, a knight came on horseback. He dismounted and reported to Pang Tong, "This is to inform the military advisor. The enemy has raised its flag and surrendered to our army!"
Pang Tong perked up and said, "Send the order, stop throwing stones. Gan Ning, you lead the troops into the city. Huang Zu, you lead the troops behind and plunder the formation for Gan Ning. If the enemy is deceitful, you can directly lead the troops to attack the city!"
"promise!"
"Shield-bearers, step forward and raise your shield! The crossbowmen are behind and prepare. The rest of the people have taken up the ladders and are ready to climb the city!" Gan Ning continued to give orders while leading the army forward.
"Squeak!"
The resistance that worried Gan Ning did not occur. When Liu Jun approached Wu Jun's crossbow range, the defenders on the city did not fire arrows. Instead, the city gate opened!
Gan Ning was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Hurry into the city! Control the city and the defenders in the city!"
After hearing the order, Sergeant Liu rushed up to the city gate. Because there were too many people to squeeze in, some people even set up ladders and climbed up the city wall!
"Military advisor, the enemy has opened the city gate. They have really surrendered!" A general next to Pang Tong pointed at Pang Tong and said.
Pang Tong smiled and said, "I saw it, don't worry, we will enter the city after the army takes control of the city."
As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he must always be on top of the situation, let alone put himself in danger. Pang Tong is so wise. At this moment, it is natural to be more cautious!
Until dusk, Gan Ning and Huang Zu led Sun Jing and Lu Xun out of the city. They stood at the city gate, preparing to greet the commander-in-chief of this army-Feng Chu Pang Tong!
"The defeated general Sun Jing/Lu Xun met with General Pingbei."
After several wars, Pang Tong was promoted from General Anbei to General Pingbei.
Pang Tong dismounted his horse and stepped forward, holding their arms and saying, "Please get up quickly."
"Thank you, General."
Huang Zu trotted up to Pang Tong and whispered in his ear, "Military advisor, that Sun Jing is Sun Jian's biological brother and Sun Quan's uncle."
Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and said, "Pang Tong, Jingchu, has met Mr. Sun."
This time Pang Tong did not claim his official position, nor did he call Sun Jing general.
Sun Jing was a little flattered, and Pang Tong continued with a smile, "You are the younger brother of the late General Wentai. My lord married the daughter of General Wentai, so you are naturally my lord's uncle."
Sun Jing returned the courtesy and said, "How dare a defeated general act so arrogantly in front of Feng Chu?"
Pang Tong chuckled, stepped forward and took Sun Jing's arm, "We are all one of our own, Mr. Sun, you don't have to be polite, just call me by name. Besides, you have done a good job in dedicating the city, we will go to the city first, and I will write to you later."
One letter to report to the Lord what happened here."
Sun Jing did not follow Pang Tong into the city. In Pang Tong's doubtful eyes, she pointed at the neglected Lu Xun and said, "Shi Yuan, this is Lu Xun from Wu County. Lu Boyan is also a young talent from Jiangdong. I hope you can follow the example of Chu."
Please tell me, don’t let the thousand-mile horse be covered in dust.”
After speaking to Pang Tong, Sun Jing said to Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, why don't you thank Shiyuan quickly?"
These words finalized the matter and forced Pang Tong to help handle the matter. Pang Tong smiled bitterly, this Sun Jing is not simple.
He smiled and waved to Lu Xun who was thanking him and said, "You don't have to be polite, Boyan. If you are really talented, my lord will definitely use you."
"Thank you, Military Advisor." Lu Xun did not dare to be as proud as Sun Jing, so he respectfully called Pang Tong general.
"Haha, enter the city!"
On the third day of September, Sun Jing and Lu Xun left the city and surrendered, and Pang Tong captured Kuaiji.
After a banquet, both sides enjoyed themselves happily. General Liu Jun was happy to capture the city, and Jiangdong officials did not have to worry about losing their lives or even the ruin of their families due to the war.
After the banquet, Pang Tong was not drunk. He, Huang Zu and Gan Ning were sitting in the hall, discussing the follow-up matters.
Huang Zu reported to Pang Tong, "Military advisor, there are still more than 9,000 people in the city. Our army's catapults bombarded the city for six days, and the enemy troops killed and injured nearly 2,000 people. A large part of them were Sun Jing's soldiers."
Temporarily recruited by Kuaiji."
"The general has disarmed them all. Please let the military advisor know whether they should be returned to their hometown."
Gan Ning continued, "Military advisor, there are many aristocratic families in Kuaiji who want to cooperate with us, and they have been whispering with the general for a long time, asking whether the general will implement policies such as allotment, land measurement, and population census in Jiangdong.
"
Huang Zu frowned and said, "We have just pacified the place, so we should try not to irritate these aristocratic families. My lord took over Yuzhang, Jianye and other places, but did not implement these policies. He should wait until Jiangdong is completely pacified. After all, these things,
Really dig into the foundation of the family.”
Gan Ning sneered, "Do they still dare to raise troops to resist?"
"Xingba, we can't rush this kind of thing." Huang Zu said helplessly.
Gan Ning curled his lips and said, "I'm just a general, I only care about fighting. The rest is the business of the literati."
Huang Zu said with a smile, "The military advisor is capable of both literary and military skills, so he can be considered a scholar."
Only then did the two of them remember that Pang Tong was present. They looked at Pang Tong and saw that he kept mumbling in his mouth.
"Lu Xun of Wu County and Lu Kang of Lujiang were his great-grandfathers. He had an enmity with the Sun family, but he could serve the Sun family. Unexpectedly, there is such a talent in Kuaiji. He must be used by the Lord. Otherwise, we can only get rid of him...
....”
"military adviser?"
"military adviser?"
"Ah?" Pang Tong came back to his senses and looked at the two of them, "What's wrong with you? You've been tired all day today, why don't you go and rest?"
The two looked at each other, and Huang Zu said, "Military advisor, we just reported the affairs of Kuaiji to you, didn't you hear it?"
