Chapter 937 City Fall
"College Lieutenant, we are already in the second section of Zishi. It's time." Zhu Huan's personal soldiers reminded him.
"Okay!" Zhu Huan ordered: "Give me the order to burn down the tunnel!"
"Here!"
The Xiliang Army started from the military camp long ago and started a huge project underground, digging a long tunnel that covered the entire western city wall of Bin County.
I can only see that in this tunnel, there is a thick wooden pillar supporting it every five steps. Digging a tunnel will inevitably lead to an empty underground. In order to prevent the top from falling, there must be supports. These pillars are the supports. .
Next to the pillars, there were soldiers standing one after another, holding bright torches in their hands. As long as these torches were thrown down and the pillars supporting the ground were burned, the entire city wall would collapse.
"Throw!"
Whoosh whoosh! The torches in the hands of countless Xiliang soldiers were thrown onto the pillars, and then they quickly withdrew from the tunnel. The torch was thrown next to the pillar and burned naturally. The pillars supporting the ground burned one after another.
The wood naturally burned very quickly, especially those pillars close to the city wall. Strong fire oil was specially poured on them. The oil helped the fire, and it burned very fiercely and out of control. These pillars soon burned to ashes, and the tunnel was naturally unsustainable after losing the support of the pillars.
As a result, in the eyes of Zhu Huan and tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, they saw that the western city wall of Binxian County, which was standing on the ground, collapsed! An entire city wall collapsed in an instant, exposing the entire Bin County without any cover.
"Haha, everyone, kill me and defeat the Jiangdong Army!"
Zhu Huan was overjoyed and immediately raised his arms and shouted. Naturally, the morale of the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops was greatly boosted. They followed Zhu Huan one after another and swarmed into the west city wall, shouting and killing loudly.
At the east gate of Bin County, the Jiangdong soldiers and Xiliang soldiers who were fighting heard a huge shock and countless shouts of killing.
"Haha, the reinforcements have entered through the west gate. Brothers, hold on, our army will win!"
"Haha, our army will win!"
The Xiliang soldiers, who were already locked in a bitter battle, were naturally boosted in morale upon hearing the news. The formation, which was about to be broken through by the three-way Jiangdong Army, abruptly stopped the defense line.
"Don't worry, quickly annihilate the enemy forces in front of you, quickly!"
Taishi Ci's expression changed greatly. Although he didn't know what happened, it was obvious that there was a huge change in the west. Maybe a large group of Xiliang troops came in. They must quickly annihilate the Ganning army in front of them, and then rush to the west gate to help.
Although the Third Route Jiangdong Army was still fighting fiercely, the morale of the Xiliang Army was naturally boosted after they heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements. Fighting is all about morale. In the Battle of Kunyang at the turn of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang sent an army of 420,000, while the coalition army led by Liu Xiu did not exceed 20,000. However, with the help of meteorites falling from the sky, Wang Mang's army all thought that destiny was favoring them. Liu Xiu was defeated in the end.
The Xiliang Army boosted their morale and withstood the fierce attack of Jiangdong Army.
At this time, Zhou Yu was leading two thousand people to rush to Ximen's aid.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that Gao Chong would attack the east and west!" Zhou Yu looked serious. His condition was already quite serious, but at this moment he had to personally lead the remaining army to rescue Ximen. If the enemy army came into the city, Jiangdong's army would not be able to do anything. There is no hope.
"Kill!"
The oncoming shouts of killing were loud and powerful, as if they were real, rushing towards them like the Yangtze River. The tens of thousands of Xiliang troops rushing towards the gap were like a torrent of steel.
"Arrange on the spot, form on the spot, snipe the Xiliang army!" Zhou Yu shouted.
Lu Meng, who was beside Zhou Yu, shouted hurriedly: "Arrange on the spot, quickly!"
The two thousand Jiangdong Army stood still, and then formed a formation on the spot, preparing to meet the surging Xiliang Army.
"Zhou Yu?"
Zhu Huan's eyes lit up and he saw Zhou Yu at a glance.
"The whole army attacks and captures Zhou Yu!"
"Catch Zhou Yu!"
The morale of tens of thousands of Xiliang troops was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards Jiangdong's army, while Lu Meng shouted angrily: "Hold it, you must hold it!"
The two armies were fighting together. The Xiliang Army was so powerful that it attacked the Jiangdong Army's weak front line. It suddenly opened several gaps in the Jiangdong Army's line. After all, the difference in numbers between the two armies was really too big. , and morale is not at the same level.
The Xiliang army broke through the city wall of Binxian County and took advantage of the situation with great strength, and their morale was high. The Jiangdong Army was attacked by the Xiliang Army, and its morale was not high. With this gap, it was naturally difficult to withstand the enemy's onslaught.
Damn it, is this the end? I haven't yet been able to defeat the enemy and revive Jiangdong!
Strong unwillingness suddenly surged into Zhou Yu's heart. The deteriorating battle situation in front of him seemed to have explained everything. Zhou Yu's originally pale complexion suddenly turned red, but it was not a healthy white face, but a sickly flush.
"Wow! What a pity, what a pity!"
Zhou Yu suddenly vomited out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body was teetering on the horse. Then he fell directly to the ground and fell unconscious.
"The Governor, the Governor!"
Seeing Zhou Yu suddenly vomiting blood and fainting, Lu Meng was shocked and turned pale. He didn't care about commanding the battle and hurriedly helped Zhou Yu up, but he didn't move.
"Grand Governor, Grand Governor?"
"Haha, Zhou Yu is dead, kill me, soldiers!"
When Zhu Huan saw Zhou Yu vomiting blood and falling from his horse, he was naturally overjoyed and immediately commanded the Xiliang army to advance wildly. The weak front line of the two thousand Jiangdong Army was already struggling. Now that Zhou Yu, the soul of the Jiangdong Army, vomited blood and fell from his horse. Naturally, they could no longer hold on and collapsed.
"Damn Xiliang Army!"
Lu Meng gritted his teeth. He saved Zhou Yu's body, mounted his horse and ran towards the center of the city. The remaining Jiangdong soldiers were in a mess, some followed Lu Meng, some knelt down and surrendered, and some ran around.
"Wang Jun, you lead three thousand men and horses to rush to the east gate quickly to support General Gan. The rest of the men will follow me to the city and capture Sun Quan!"
After Zhu Huan sent a military commander to lead the army to rescue Gan Ning, he led the army towards the center of the city.
Lu Meng escorted Zhou Yu on horseback and rushed all the way back to the city center.
"My lord, my lord!"
Lu Meng shouted loudly, and Sun Quan hurriedly came out. Seeing Zhou Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Ziming, what's wrong with Gong Jin?"
After Sun Ce died, Sun Quan was too young to obey the crowd, so Zhou Yu could be called the pillar of Jiangdong Army. Sun Quan usually obeyed his words, but why was he unconscious now?
"Now is not the time to talk about this! The enemy has already entered the city. My lord, please quickly retreat with me and retreat to Lingling County before we talk about anything else!" Lu Meng yelled.
