Chapter 115: The Water Army Mutiny

After Xiao Tianjian knocked his head three times, the city had already transferred archers, and began to shoot arrows at him like rain, and he turned over and got on his horse, drew his knife and shot at him one after another, and in an instant, he was hit by several arrows, and after a muffled snort, he rushed towards his own formation, and his war horse was also shot at the same time with more than a dozen arrows, and he neighed in pain, but he still desperately carried Xiao Tianjian away from the city wall.

It was not until this time that the sound of guns and cannons in the city began to make a big noise, and the cannonballs fell on the periphery of Xiao Tianjian outside the city, but the cannons of this era wanted to directly bombard a high-speed galloping target, and they simply relied on their luck, so Xiao Tianjian rushed back to the army without danger.

And Xiao Tianjian endured the pain, stabilized his mount, led the horse to rush to his general, carried his waist knife, and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "The husband does something and doesn't do anything!" Although there is an order in the army not to kill innocents indiscriminately, I Xiao is responsible for this crime alone! Just attack the city, don't think about it anymore, only by killing Zuo Liangyu can you save more innocent people! Besiege! ”

Xiao Tianjian did such a thing unexpectedly today, which shocked all the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army, they looked at Xiao Tianjian and his mount, and even the men and horses were full of arrows shot by the left army, but he still stood proudly in front of the army, like a statue of the god of war, and everyone was once again impressed by Xiao Tianjian.

Even Li Dingguo and his old subordinates Zhang Xianzhong were completely convinced, what Zhang Xianzhong is at this time, it is all in the past, and now in their eyes, there is only Xiao Tianjian left in their hearts, including Li Dingguo, they all feel that their blood is boiling, and they can be said to be full of tears, and then Xiao Tianjian roared: "Kill the left thief!" Kill! ”

And the women in the city who were used as human shields by the left army also heard Xiao Tianjian's roar, and saw Xiao Tianjian's approach, they never thought that heroes like Xiao Xingtian, the handsome commander of the dignified Xingtian Army, actually came to the city in danger for them, just to give them a promise, and did not hesitate to kneel down in condescension, kowtow to them and confess their guilt, and also counted arrows for the left army in their bodies, and suddenly many people cried loudly, and some women didn't want to live anymore when they arrived here. Suddenly, they desperately snatched the knives and guns in the hands of the left army generals who were guarding them, and fought with them, and many people were hacked and killed in an instant, and there were even more desperate women who hugged the left army generals around them, dragged them down the city wall together, and fell to death under the city wall in an instant, and many women shouted outside the city regardless of it: "The heroes of the Xingtian Army, don't worry about us!" Siege the city, kill Zuo Liangyu, this bastard! ”

The left army panicked at this moment, just because of this Xiao Xingtian's words, these women who were originally like sheep in their eyes, and were wantonly disposed of by them, suddenly turned into female leopards one by one, so fierce that they couldn't believe it, they were still women played with by them a moment ago, and suddenly there was a big chaos on the city wall.

At this time, some young women didn't even want their own children, so they jumped off the city wall with their children and fell to their deaths under the city wall.

And the soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army outside the city also turned into mad tigers at this time, roaring like a flood, rushing towards the city wall, and the officers in the artillery array shouted frantically with tears in their eyes: "Ignite the cannon!" Kill those bastards in the city! Avenge the sisters in the city! ”

The artillery of the Heavenly Army began to roar one after another in an instant, flashes of light flashed in the sky, the artillery array was filled with gunsmoke, and countless cannonballs flew towards the city wall like hailstones, regardless of the officers and soldiers or those women, indiscriminately began to bombard every active target in the city, and several artillery pieces of the left army that had just been arrogant for a long time rolled into the city in an instant, and the people in the city were suddenly bombarded one by one.

The firecrackers of the Xingtian army approached the city, braved the cold arrows shot from the city wall, and fired at the city wall in rows, and many people fell down with each row of gunfire, and more of the sword players and pikemen of the Xingtian army leaned against the city wall again, erected a long ladder, and then shouted to kill the earth-shattering sky and climbed towards the city wall.

Zuo Liangyu's face became pale, looking at the chaos in the city, including the commotion of the women and children who were concentrated at the foot of the city wall, he knew that his plan was useless, this Xiao Xingtian was really a terrible person, it can be said that he had courage and knowledge, and he could actually use this method to crack his plan, and now these women and children who were gathered also knew what was happening outside the city wall, and began to become agitated.

Even the officers and soldiers in the city who were forced by him to be soldiers slowly retreated, staring at those Zuo Liangyu's old subordinates with hateful eyes, their eyes were full of chilling divine light, and these Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers did not dare to dictate to them for a while, let alone cut and kill and scold these forced soldiers.

Zuo Liangyu didn't dare to slack off anymore, turned around and ran towards the south of the city with his own soldiers, on the dock in the south of the city, a lot of ships had already been assembled, which were full of the property and food he had collected over the years, and his relatives had already boarded the boat, waiting for him to escape by boat down the river at any time, Jingzhou City was over, and he could no longer defend it.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu had only one thought, that is, to escape from this place quickly, as long as he fell into the hands of the Xingtian Army, he would have to be cut by the people of the Xingtian Army, even if it fell into the hands of the mutinous soldiers in the city, I am afraid that his fate would not be much better.

So Zuo Liangyu is a very smart person, he never thought about being a loyal minister, more often than not, he thinks about supporting the army and self-respect, anyway, as long as his title of this thief general is there, there is money, and there is a boat, he can pull up people and horses wherever he goes, and start over, Jingzhou will be lost if he loses it, he can escape to Yuezhou and continue to be powerful on Dongting Lake!

However, just as he led his family to the south of the city, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in the south of the city, and after a while, he saw that smoke began to rise above the pier, and then the flames were mixed with the thick smoke rolling up and went straight to the sky.

Zuo Liangyu chuckled in his heart, grabbed the reins of the horse, and asked in surprise, "What happened on the dock?" ”

Not long after, a small number of soldiers rushed towards the city in the direction of the wharf, ran into Zuo Liangyu who rushed to the wharf, and cried: "Military gate! Big things are wrong! A large number of soldiers in the water camp suddenly mutinied, set fire to the dock, and drove the ships away from the dock, and killed many of the old military guards guarding the dock, and now a large number of ships are leaving the dock and heading into the river, and the dock has become a sea of fire! ”

After Zuo Liangyu heard this, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell under the war horse, and was quickly held by the family, and he asked in surprise: "What about Meng Geng?" What is he going to eat, can he just sit back and watch his subordinates mutiny? ”

The soldiers who fled into the city hurriedly replied: "The young general was on a boat when the soldiers mutinied, and the major general could not be found in this chaos!" The marshal hurriedly dispatched troops to rush over to seize the ship! It's too late! ”

Zuo Liangyu was really angry, and scolded his son Zuo Mengeng in his heart for being an incompetent thing, actually at this time, let the water camp out of such a big basket, but the soldiers did not mutiny a little earlier and a little later, and had to mutiny at this juncture, after thinking about it carefully, he immediately figured out the reason, this must be the fine work of the Xingtian Army mixed in the water camp, which provoked the newly recruited soldiers in the water camp to mutiny, and took advantage of his attention to focus on the war in the north of the city, so he rebelled at this juncture, This time it's going to kill him!

Although Zuo Liangyu was angry to death, he didn't dare to slack off, and he rushed towards the dock with his family in a dizzy way, but when he arrived at the dock, what he saw was a sea of fire, and he could see from a distance that dozens of big ships concentrated in the nearest dock were all ignited, including the houses around the pier, and the whole was burned into a piece, and you could feel the heat wave blowing on your face from a long distance, and when you got a little closer, your hair was curled up by the high temperature, where can you still go to take the boat!

Looking towards the river, I saw a large number of boats, moving towards the river, some boats were still shouting and killing, obviously the soldiers who were loyal to him on the ship were not dead, and were fighting with the counter-soldiers who controlled the boat, trying to regain control of the ship, the whole river was in chaos, and from time to time there were ships colliding together, and more ships were knocked over on the spot and capsized on the river, and many people fell into the water, struggling on the water and trying to swim back to the riverbank.

At this time, a group of subordinates loyal to Zuo Liangyu were also gathered on the shore, shouting and staring at the river, but there was no way, some people took rockets and fired arrows at the boats near the river on the river, many boats had been ignited, and some mutinous officers and soldiers had to jump into the water and swim towards nearby ships, and some ships were placed on the river and fired at the shore with small cannons on the boat, obviously these ships must have been controlled by the mutinous generals, and it was impossible to recapture them again.

Zuo Liangyu arrived at this time, his heart was pulling out the cold, the water camp was in chaos, his back road was cut off, his family and many cronies were arranged to the boat in advance, looking at the messy river at this time, it was estimated that it was more auspicious and less, and the wealth he had amassed was mostly on the boat at this time, and it was either burning at this time, or the mutinous rebels sailed to the river.

At the moment, there are only a few dozen ships, and they are still under the control of his men, how can these dozens of ships be enough to accommodate so many of his men! Zuo Liangyu sighed, and wanted to pull out his waist knife and kill himself, but he was immediately stopped by his cronies, and ran towards a big boat with him, persuading him not to kill himself, with his age, it is a big deal to change places and start again, the wife and concubine are gone, remarry, the son is gone, just give birth to a few, and it will be revived in a blink of an eye.
