Chapter 717: Sun Quan admits defeat

As soon as the dragon point entered the city, there was artillery fire behind him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Damn, I really don't give any face!" Looking for the dragon point, he returned to the city lord's mansion without a face, and casually found a secluded corner in the city and licked his wounds alone.

Sun Quan's face was also extremely ugly.

Artillery fire bombarded the walls, opening gaps one after another. The Jiangdong soldiers guarding the city wall were like grass mustard, mercilessly harvesting their lives, and fell one after another.

In particular, the trebuchets placed on the city walls have become a key target.

The only thing that can threaten a warship in Chaisan City is a trebuchet. As for the sailors stationed outside the city of Chaisang, they were completely paralyzed in the first blow and fled back to the city in a hurry.

As trebuchets were shattered, the defenders of the walls were in complete despair. Surrounded by water, Chai Sang suddenly became a clawless tiger, allowing the Shanhai City fleet to ravage.

The Chaisan garrison, who was powerless, had to withdraw from the city wall. According to the words of the generals, standing on the city wall is a light beating, purely giving away people's heads, and there is no meaning.

The artillery fire continued throughout the day and did not end until evening.

Shanhai City spent twenty or thirty thousand gold coins just for the consumption of cannonballs, which was enough for Ouyang Shuo to feel distressed.

After the bombardment, the city wall of Chaisang, like a ravaged little girl, became full of holes and dilapidated. Standing outside the city, you can see the scene inside the city.

If the shelling continues, it will be the people of the city who will suffer.

Although Chaisang is the Jiangdong Governor, Sun Quan is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, and he also thought about abandoning the city and fleeing. As long as Zhou Yu's army broke through Yiling, the enemy army in front of him would not have to worry.

The problem is that Chaisan is surrounded by water.

The fleet of Shanhai City was all over the river, surrounding Chaisang so much that not even a fly could fly out. At this time, Chaisan was like an island, isolated, unable to advance or retreat, and embarrassed.

As night fell, white smoke rose from the city.

It's the smoke from every household cooking, and no matter how worried you are, you have to feed your stomach.

It's just that the thought of being trapped for a long time unconsciously scooped a little less when the cook woman at home was scooping rice. During the day, the rice from the city's major rice shops was already sold out.

The prices of various materials in the city have risen wildly, and there are already signs of chaos.

Eating tasteless food, the people were terrified. This is the first time that the people of the three countries have truly felt the power and lethality of firearms.

Such a heavy weapon is simply a killing machine in troubled times.

This night, the people of Chaisang spent the night in fear.

……

The next day, the sun was rising.

The bright sunlight shines through the large and small holes in the city wall, shining into the city of Chaisang, casting spots of light. There was no one near the city walls, neither the streets nor the houses were empty, without a trace of life.

Occasionally, a stray dog passes by the street and burrows into the rubble in search of leftovers.

The people of the city did not sleep all night, but no one dared to sleep lazily, so they got up early and prepared for a new round of artillery fire. The people who lived near the city walls moved to the city overnight.

If you have relatives, you can also go to your relatives' house to spend the night. If you don't have relatives, you can only sleep on the street, or find an eaves and a bridge and cave cat to sleep.

The major temples in the city have become popular places to go.

In the cold winter season, the wind is cold.

Sleeping on the street, even if there is a futon to cover, I am afraid that I can't bear it if I am not in good health.

Interestingly, the people near the city walls were evacuated overnight. The people, who were still some distance away from the city wall, saw that there was no "shield", and their hearts were suddenly not calm, and they also retreated to the city one by two.

The herd mentality of the common people is very serious.

Someone took the lead, and soon a second wave of moving was triggered.

In this way, it makes people panic even more.

All night, Chaisang City never really lived in peace.

In the middle of the night, there are still children who are called by their parents in their sleep, and they move their families to the city overnight despite the cold wind. The barking of dogs, the crying of children, sounded intermittently for a night.

"What a sin!" The people were miserable.

The major temples in the city were suddenly overcrowded, and even the bridge cave became a popular place to go. In order to fight for a good position under the bridge, there are many fists and feet.

"It's all about survival!"

The worst is to sleep on the street.

The central street near the city lord's mansion was even more full of people, so dense that even horse-drawn carriages could not pass. In the eyes of the people, the City Lord's Mansion is the safest right now.

Sun Quan is ruthless, and he can't bear to drive away the people, and the depression in his heart is really no one to talk to.

On this night, no less than 1,000 people froze to death on the streets.

Chaisang under the sun is such a tragic situation in the world.

Even if it encounters rare good weather in winter, it cannot dispel the cold in the hearts of the people.

……

Strangely, by nine o'clock in the morning, the artillery fire did not arrive as expected.

However, the envoy of Shanhai City entered the city for the second time, conveying Ouyang Shuo's intention to persuade him to surrender: before noon, if Sun Quan does not go out of the city to surrender again, he will slaughter the city and will not be merciful.

Such a letter of persuasion is bloody.

And this time the letter of persuasion was no longer secretly sent to Sun Quan alone, Zheng He arranged for the sergeants to proclaim loudly on the city wall, shouting repeatedly, and countless letters of persuasion were directly shot into the city through the cannons.

In this way, the hearts of the people in the city were surging.

The people of the Three Kingdoms are no strangers to the slaughter of the city, and they are naturally convinced. The thought of the impending slaughter of the city made the people shudder.

In the face of the crisis of slaughtering the city, the eyes of the people looking at the city lord's mansion were already full of strangeness, hidden worry and resentment. In fact, it is not only the people in the city who are strange, but also the eyes of the soldiers are also flickering.

After all, most of the soldiers' families lived in Chaisang, and once Chaisan fell, they would be ruined.

The will of the whole city was shaken by a letter of persuasion.

To live or to die, for the people, this is a simple choice question.

……

"Bastard!"

Sun Quan's face was pale, he just wanted to block the news, but he couldn't.

"Lord, accept the other party's conditions, we have no other choice." Zhang Zhao once again firmly became a surrender faction, and then said: "Resisting hard can only increase casualties, surrender is a small matter, if you lose the hearts of the people of Jiangdong, then everything is really over!" ”

In good conscience, Zhang Zhao is still very knowledgeable. Compared with Zhou Yu, what Zhang Zhao lacks may be an unparalleled view of the overall situation and keen insight.

"That's all there is to it!"

Sun Quan sighed, his heart full of unwillingness.

In addition to worrying about losing the hearts of the people, Sun Quan was even more worried about the mutiny of the soldiers, which was a more terrifying thing than losing the hearts of the people, and the Sun family could be sent to hell in minutes, and there would be no return.

Before the war, Sun Quan never imagined that the "copper wall and iron wall" of the general red cliff would fall. There were 50,000 or 60,000 troops stationed inside, and the Lu Su army and Huang Gai's army responded externally, but they were still defeated.

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

"Heroes and other aliens are really rubbish! Before the start of the war, he vowed to defeat the Shanhai City fleet in one fell swoop. It's coming to an end, but it's a shame to be served by someone else! "Sun Quan is already a resentful woman.

It's just that no matter how much he complains, he can't escape the humiliating fate of surrendering out of the city.

************

At noon, Sun Quan was dressed in white, holding a sealed letter, and led a cadre of civil and military ministers to go out of the city and surrender.

Ouyang Shuo did not deliberately make things difficult for Sun Quan, let alone do anything to insult Sun Quan, and respectfully invited Sun Quan to Longshou to "live temporarily", which was very courteous.

Don't forget, Ouyang Shuo is still thinking about subduing Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong generals.

Isn't insulting Sun Quan self-deprecating?!

"Please also ask the general to write a letter to Zhou Yu, and Zhang Zhao will personally send it to Yiling." In the reception room, Ouyang Shuo made his request.

While speaking, someone has already presented pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Sun Quan is also a generation of heroes, since he surrendered, he didn't plan to play tricks, he simply picked up the pen neatly, and wrote a letter in an instant.

and put on his great seal.

Ouyang Shuo smiled with satisfaction, took the letter and looked at it, and saw that there was no problem, so he immediately ordered someone to put it in a wooden box. In addition to Zhang Zhao, the person who sent the letter was accompanied by a partial general of the City Guard Division.

With Zhang Zhao coming forward, Ouyang Shuo was not worried about Zhou Yu's fraud. Zhang Zhao was a smart man and never dared to joke with Sun Quan's life.

In addition to Sun Quan's letter, Ouyang Shuo himself wrote a letter to Zhou Yu. It not only expressed his admiration for Zhou Yu, but also expounded the purpose of the battle of Chaisang.

added a sentence: "General Sun's life is tied to the public and a thought, think twice!" ”

I think Zhou Yu will cry and laugh when he sees this letter, how can there be such a talent in the world, and the threat of kidnapping the former master is unheard of.

It's just a bandit!

……

Sending off the messenger, the Shanhaicheng fleet did not stay in Chaisang for a long time, and set off for Chibi the next day. When the people of Chaisan saw this, they breathed a long sigh of relief, but they had walked on the edge of hell.

Ouyang Shuo decided to go back to Chibi, a Chibi has enough grain and grass, convenient supplies, and a water village has been built to facilitate the fleet to dock and repair.

The second is also because Chibi is relatively close to Yiling, and you can return to Yiling at any time when necessary.

Ouyang Shuo expected that even if Zhou Yu withdrew his troops, Di Chen and the others were afraid that they would make some trouble. Therefore, the Shanhai City fleet must be ready to provoke a big war again.

This battle of Chibi can be regarded as a thousand twists and turns.

Ouyang Shuo was not worried that Emperor Chen would detain Zhou Yu or simply kill Zhou Yu. Because according to the rules of the campaign, the Inhuman Legion of the same faction cannot do anything to the natives of the same faction.

Especially for historical figures of the same camp, Gaia has special protection measures.

This is also to prevent some lords from harboring the dark psychology of "what I can't get, others can't think of it", otherwise, the historical figures of the battle map will not suffer.

In the same way, Ouyang Shuo naturally had no way to instruct the siege lion to kill Liu Bei, who had already escaped.

At this point, both sides are fair.
