When Ma Weixin saw the big boat being pulled into the moat, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly shouted, "Quick, quickly bring in some artillery and trebuchets." ”

There are too many Wei soldiers and horses, the wanderers from the north city are surrounded by ants, and on the city wall for several miles, each stack must be defended, which contains most of the defenders' troops, and the Wei army also feints in the direction of the south city, and now there are soldiers and horses coming over in the east city, and the defenders' strength is very nervous.

Seeing a large ship at the level of the city, being pulled into the moat, the defenders fell into a panic.

At this time, a group of soldiers at the head of the city, running rapidly, men and horses armed with bows and arrows, ran to the battlements and began to release arrows.

Rockets from the top of the city were shooting at the big ship, and the arrows were nailed to the side of the ship, trying to set the ship on fire.

The Wei soldiers on the boat hid behind the plank, raised the fire gun, and the sound of "bang" rang out, causing the archers on the city to fall off the city wall, and the soldiers on the big ship were also hit by rockets, jumped from the boat into the river, and splashed water columns.

Looking at the tower in the distance, Gao Yihuan saw that the big ship was pulled into the canal, and the sound of killing in Dongcheng shook the sky, so he waved his hand, "Order Zhao Zhuzi to attack immediately and capture Dongcheng within an hour!" ”

Gao Yihuan ordered, the flag of the Chinese army waved, the war drums sounded, Zhao Zhuzi immediately drew his sword and roared, "Wei Wujun, kill!" ”

The three thousand Wei troops, who had been raising their sharps for a long time, hugged the flying bridge, the long ladder, and the shield, and marched to the head of the city.

At this time, the big ships in the dense rockets, have moved closer to the city, nearly 100 defenders behind the city wall, hurriedly moved the stone thrower, adjusted the position of the stone thrower, and loaded the cannon, and then squeaked apart, throwing a piece of artillery outside the city, but the ships in the moat are close to the city wall, which is equivalent to entering the dead end, but the thrown cannon is difficult to hit the big ship in the moat.

The cannon roared in the city, the smoke of gunpowder rose, and an iron bullet smashed through, but even this could not prevent the ship from approaching the city walls.

Seeing the ship approaching, Ma Weixin put the planks on the city wall, sweating on his forehead, waved his knife and shouted, "Burn them with fire oil." ”

The rockets were fired at the cowhide and wet quilts, but the effect was very limited, and only one or two large ships were ignited, and the rest of the ships slowly approached the city walls.

The defenders listened to the order and hurriedly smashed out the oil tank, and a fire suddenly broke out on the ship's board.

Li Hu was furious when he saw this, "Earthquake thunder, vote for me!" ”

A few soldiers with a few black balls hanging behind their buttocks hurriedly lit a sky-shattering thunderbolt and quickly threw it on the city.

A few explosions of "boom" blew up the defenders who threw the fire canisters and the oil canisters on the city, and the canisters shattered, and the city immediately burst into flames.

Compared with the earth-shaking thunder thrown by the catapult, this kind of earth-shaking thunder is much smaller, after all, it is thrown by manpower, but on the basis of the earth-shaking thunder of the Ming Dynasty, it has been improved a little, and the power is not too great, but it is also a sharp weapon.

At this time, a big ship approached the city wall, the big hook at the front of the board firmly hooked the city bricks, the baffle on the ship had just been put down, a Wei army colonel roared angrily, rushed up with a war knife in his hand, and more than ten double-armored soldiers behind him rushed to the head of the city.

Ma Weixin saw that many soldiers were killed by the bombing, and when he saw the enemy soldiers going to the city, he was horrified, "Kill!" Don't let them get to the city! ”

With a roar, Ma Weixin led his guards to fill the gap, and almost at the same time, the Wei soldiers on the big ships actually stepped on the burning planks and rushed to the city.

Ma Weixin gasped, realizing that he couldn't hold it, and the enemy soldiers didn't say anything, and they were still fierce one by one, and they couldn't do it at all.

He hesitated, and then fell behind his own soldiers, and at that moment a strong man climbed up the ladder to the top of the city, jumped down, and killed two defenders in succession.

But it was Zhao Zhuzi who took advantage of the defenders to deal with the big ship and climbed up the city from the ladder.

"Thief, death!" Zhao Zhuzi jumped on the head of the city, and saw a general of the Western Army with sharp eyes, and came straight to his head with a knife.

A strong wind blew "woo", which frightened Ma Weixin to come back to his senses in an instant and hurriedly blocked a knife.

Zhao Zhuzi's arms struggled, and with a sound of 'dangchang', Ma Weixin not only blocked the blow with a knife, but then pushed hard, pushing Zhao Zhuzi back two steps.

This made Zhao Zhuzi surprised, his mother was split, his idea was hard, and he was not an opponent.

"Look for death!" Ma Weixin was startled by Zhao Zhuzi, blocked the attack with a knife, and suddenly roared angrily.

Zhao Zhuzi's heart was in a daze, and he hurriedly jumped away, wanting to distance himself, but when he retreated, and when he looked up again, he only saw Ma Weixin's back, and the two had opened a large distance in an instant.

"Turtle Sun, don't go!" Zhao Zhuzi was instantly furious and rushed towards Ma Weixin.

At this time, a large number of Wei troops had already climbed the city wall at the head of the city, and once the Wei army went to the city, the strength of the defenders could not resist at all, and the Wei army gradually occupied the city wall.

Ma Weixin rushed to the West Gate with hundreds of soldiers and horses, sighed softly, lost Jingzhou, and Daxi Guo wanted to go out of Sichuan again, I am afraid that it will not be easy, and I can only be like Shu Han, trapped in Sichuan.

At this time, the city gate had been opened by the soldiers, Ma Weixin glanced back at Jingzhou, then turned his horse's head and ran outside the city, and the defenders of Xicheng followed behind to retreat outside the city, throwing Yiling away.

In the eastern city, after the Wei army occupied the city wall, they quickly opened the city gate, and the Wei soldiers swarmed in.

Mighty roars such as "disarm and don't kill, surrender and avoid death" resounded throughout the city for a while. After the Wei army entered the city, they rushed in all directions and occupied the treasury of the Yamen, except for the non-commissioned officers of the Western Army who knelt on the ground and surrendered, all those who did not abandon their weapons and knelt on the ground and held weapons were killed on the spot.

After the Wei army entered the city from Dongcheng, although there were sporadic battles in the city, the general trend had been decided, and Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Wei army, which was already ironclad.

At this time, Ma Weixin led nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses, rushed out of the West City Gate in a hurry, and headed west, preparing to join Sun Kewang.

The men and horses galloped for thirty miles in one go, and seeing that no one was chasing behind them, the Western Army was a little calmer.

"General, what should we do now?" A member of the military academy asked with a bitter face.

Ma Weixin also had a bitter face, Jingzhou was lost by him, which made him a little unsure of how to face Sun Kewang.

He remembered that Sun Kewang once said to him that Jingzhou was very important to Daxi, and if Jingzhou was in hand, Daxi could fight for the world, and once Jingzhou was lost, Daxi would lose the possibility of seizing the world.

Today he is equivalent to Guan Yu losing Jingzhou, but there is one thing that still makes him very glad that Guan Yu died, but he survived and escaped from Ascension.

Ma Weixin was silent for a while, and pointed to a forest in front of him, "Go and rest first, and then send someone to check in the direction of Yiling, and contact King Pingdong as soon as possible." ”

The soldiers of the Western Army, who had fled all the way, were already tired and hurriedly walked forward when they heard the order, but at this moment, the earth suddenly shook, and a black line had appeared in front of them.

"It's not good, there is a horse army!" The officers and men of the Western Army suddenly let out a series of exclamations.

When Ma Weixin saw the cavalry coming, his face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled, it was too bad, he was in the footsteps of the second child.
