Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh final ravages
The flags covered the sky and the sun, and the blades were densely packed like a forest. The cold light reflected from the armor almost chilled the sky.
Yan Liang, dressed in black armor, stood proudly on his horse, looking at Yuhang City from a distance, with a look of disdain on his knife-like face.
"Your Majesty, the Thunderbolt chariots have been assembled. Please inform me." Pingdong General Huang Zhong rode his horse directly in front of Yan Liang's horse.
Yan Liang raised his whip and pointed it in the distance, shouting: "All the thunderbolt chariots fired, give Gu a hard beating!"
"No." The veteran's blood boiled and he galloped away on horseback.
When the order was passed, the sound of war drums soared into the sky, and the huge military flag moved like the wind.
Amidst the rumbling war drums, more than 300 thunderbolt vehicles made a creaking sound, and stone bullets the size of human heads were all installed.
When the sound of the war drums reached its peak, three hundred thunderbolt chariots fired simultaneously.
Amidst the roaring sounds like landslides and ground cracking, hundreds of stone bullets rose into the air, tearing through the air barrier and drawing graceful arcs, whizzing towards the enemy city like meteor showers falling from the sky.
Boom boom!!
Click!!
Amidst the sounds of collapse and fracture, dense stone bullets fell down, ravaging this small town in Wuzhong wantonly.
The earthen city wall was struck with countless craters in a blink of an eye, cracked everywhere, and countless debris flew in the air, raising a vast cloud of dust.
After the first round of bombardment, the originally intact line of Yuhang North City was like a ravaged girl, covered in bruises and miserable.
The ravage has just begun.
Those tiger-backed, bare-armed officers and soldiers of the Yan Army, adhering to Yan Liang's principle of "hit hard", spared no effort to load the stone bullets again and again, and repeatedly fired the stone bullets that weighed dozens of kilograms and filled them with anger.
Mercilessly bombarding the enemy at the top of the city.
The crashing sounds of landslides and ground cracks were louder than the waves, never stopping for a moment.
At the top of the city, the remaining few thousand Wu troops were like rats crossing the street, huddled under the battlements in fear, holding their heads and closing their eyes, not daring to face the tragedy around them.
These last Wu soldiers, how many Sun Quan fled all the way, and the county soldiers forcibly recruited from various counties, the enemies these people usually face are just bandits.
Soldiers with such low combat effectiveness have never experienced such a tragic scene. Just the horrific scene of hundreds of cannons firing was enough to destroy their fighting spirit.
All they could do at the moment was to huddle there tremblingly, begging for God's blessing and not to let any stone bullet with eyes hit their broken body.
Sun Quan was also trembling.
Although he was huddled in the city tower with more than a dozen strong soldiers holding high thick shields to protect his safety, Sun Quan was still in deep fear all the time.
Boo boo!!
From time to time, stone bullets penetrated the city tower and hit the large shield in front of him heavily. Although the bullets fell to the ground, the huge roar still made Sun Quan feel frightened again and again.
In addition, the screams one after another were also like knives, cutting into Sun Quan's fragile soul again and again.
While Sun Quan was struggling in the whirlpool of fear, Yan Liang was playing with his riding crop and admiring the grand scene of "thousands of cannons firing" with great interest.
"My lord, the small city of Yuhang has no need to mobilize troops like this. Please order the siege from the lord. In less than half an hour, the general will plant the lord's flag at the top of Yuhang City and sacrifice Sun Quan's head to the city."
Lord."
Gan Ning, who was beside him, was arrogant and disdainful, and asked Yan Liang for a fight.
Yan Liang only snorted coldly, "The reason why Gu mobilized his troops was not to capture Yuhang City, but to frighten the people of Sanwu, to let those who were lucky enough to know Gu's power, and to let those who surrendered to Gu, no longer
Dare to have other ideas."
Hearing Yan Liang's cold words, Gan Ning understood.
A desperate man like Sun Quan actually had no need for Yan Liang to personally lead an army of 30,000 to 40,000 men in a conquest. The reason why Yan Liang did this was to show off his vast military power to intimidate dissenters.
This is precisely the intention of using thunderbolt chariots to blast the enemy city to pieces, but not in a hurry to destroy the city.
The bombing continues.
From afternoon to dusk, the violent banging of the Thunderbolt Car continued for more than three hours. It was not until the setting sun set and the stone bullets were exhausted that the loud banging in the sky gradually subsided.
Looking at the devastated enemy city from a distance, Yan Liang nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"We will retreat temporarily today and the entire army will return to camp to rest. Tomorrow we will deploy an additional hundred Thunderbolt vehicles to continue the bombardment."
Yan Liang gave an even harsher order and then started riding away.
After watching the grand scene of bombardment of the city for a long time, tens of thousands of Yan Jun's officers and soldiers in formation slowly retreated with unsatisfied feelings.
The bombardment of the city was over, and for the Wu army at the head of the city, the nightmare was finally over.
The disgraced surviving Wu soldiers, the roaring in their ears gradually subsided, and they sneakily poked their heads out. After confirming that Yan Jun had indeed retreated, they dared to stand up boldly.
At the top of the city, people sighed and secretly rejoiced.
"Get out of the way, look at your timid looks, what's there to be afraid of!"
When Sun Quan saw Yan Jun's retreat, he put away his fear and regained some confidence on his face. He pushed aside his own soldiers who were trying to block the stone bullets for him, and strode out of the ruined city tower with his head held high.
When Sun Quan walked to the top of the city and looked around, he couldn't help but gasped.
The entire north gate of Yuhang has been changed beyond recognition. At the southeast corner, a part of the city wall has even collapsed by 30%.
The city head was littered with gravel and broken wooden beams, and corpses whose brains were cracked and limbs were shattered by stone bullets lay scattered on the ground.
The front line of the city is already as terrifying as Shura Hell.
Sun Quan's heart began to tremble again, and the confidence he had just regained disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yan Jun destroyed Yuhang City in just one attack. If the bombardment continued for a few more days, I'm afraid the entire city would be razed to the ground.
By that time, I'm afraid that without Yan's army attacking the city, this last foothold will have been reduced to nothing.
"Yan Jun's attack power is so strong. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until Zijing convinces Liu Bei to come to the rescue. What should I do?"
In his heart, Sun Quan still had a wishful thinking that Lu Su's departure from Wu Jin was just to bring him reinforcements.
After experiencing today's violent bombardment, Sun Quan realized in despair that he would not be able to wait for that day no matter what.
With such despair, Sun Quan returned to the county government.
At this moment, his mother Wu was already sitting in the lobby, waiting uneasily for a long time.
Seeing Sun Quan enter dejectedly, Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both happy and worried.
Fortunately, Sun Quan is still alive.
What is worrying is that the dejected look on Sun Quan's face proves that he has lost the confidence to resist.
Wu wanted to comfort and encourage Sun Quan, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Wu is also a smart person. With her knowledge, she can't see that the Sun family has reached the point where only one city of Yuhang is left with thousands of remaining soldiers. Even if the gods descend to earth, it will be difficult to restore the situation of destruction.
At the same moment, Wu thought of the scene when Sun Quan used her to block the knife, and a feeling of heartache and anger arose spontaneously.
The nagging anger prompted Wu to shut up.
There was silence in the lobby.
Footsteps sounded, but a man with an equally disgraced face limped into the lobby.
The person who came was none other than Zhuge Jin.
Zhuge Jin was beaten thirty times by Yan Liang that day. His injuries have not healed yet and he can only walk with such difficulty.
When the Qianfanmoling Mausoleum was besieged, Zhuge Jin followed Sun Quan's order to go to Wu County to train a new army. It was Zhuge Jin who gathered a force of 2,000 soldiers and horses, which became the core of Sun Quan's final resistance.
However, before Zhuge Jin could lead his troops to help, Sun Quan had already fled to Wu Commandery in embarrassment.
Zhuge Jin, as a loyal minister of Sun Quan, fled with Sun Quan all the way to Yuhang.
"Lord, today during Yan's bombardment of the city, one hundred of our troops were killed, three hundred injured, and a total of more than four hundred people lost their ability to fight."
Zhuge Jin lowered his head and weakly reported the bad news.
Sun Quan's desperate and fragile heart was hit again.
Originally, he had less than 4,000 remaining soldiers, but today he lost one-tenth of his force without fighting. This was a heavy loss for the impoverished Sun Quan.
"There are no reinforcements outside and no soldiers inside, what should we do..."
Sun Quan sighed weakly, his deeply happy brows filled with despair and helplessness.
Zhuge Jin also lowered his head and remained silent. All he could do at this moment was to be loyal to Sun Quan and there was nothing else.
In the lobby, there was deathly silence.
Sun Quan, Wu, and Zhuge Jin each remained silent.
After a long time, Mrs. Wu let out a long sigh and faintly said three words:
"Surrender."
Sun Quan suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother with a surprised expression.
The grace and calmness on Wu's face that still retains charm are completely gone, leaving only disappointment and sadness.
That was the disappointment with Sun Quan and the fate of the Sun family. The Wu family had already given up.
Sun Quan sighed bitterly, feeling so sad in his heart, and murmured: "If I had known this, I should not have offended Yan Liang in the first place and coveted the land of Jingxiang. I am really asking for my own destruction."
Sun Quan's sigh was full of regretful sadness.
"My lord, Yan Liang is extremely cruel. I heard that after he conquered Moling, he massacred my lord's people. If my lord surrenders to Yan Liang today, I may not be able to escape the disaster of killing."
Zhuge Jin became excited and clearly opposed Sun Quan's surrender.
Sun Quan's figure trembled. Hearing Yan Liang massacre his own people, Sun Quan could no longer feel any hatred at this time. All he had left was fear and terror.
He was afraid that the cruel Yan Liang would not let him go even after he surrendered.
At this time, Sun Quan couldn't help but hesitate again.
But at this time, Wu snorted coldly, "Surrender, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don't surrender, you will die. Zhongmou, make your own choice."
Wu's cold words shattered Sun Quan's hesitation in an instant.
"Surrender, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don't surrender, you will die..."
Sun Quan's mind flashed over and over again with his mother's cold words.
After weighing and hesitating for a long time, Sun Quan finally let out a long sigh.
"That's all, surrender." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
