Chapter 165: Seeing Off (Part II)
Chapter 165: Sending Off (II)
After the city was broken, Sun Chang's army of 30,000 only lasted one night, collapsed, and 20,000 were captured.
Two thousand retreated to the inner city.
The Shu army quickly surrounded the inner city, and at this time, it was impossible for the people inside to break through and leave.
didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, Sun Chang was very tired up and down, and his eyes were red and swollen.
The generals under Wang Hongyi's account, although they also fought in the streets all night, but they were defeated and victorious, but they were much more divine.
In this case, Sun Chang didn't feel sleepy at all.
In the inner city, there is already a breath of despair everywhere at this moment, but staying here, they are all Sun Chang's lineage, and the soldiers are all armed with bows and crossbow weapons, carrying out the final counterattack.
Tian sè was already méngméng bright, and in the Taishou Mansion Council Hall in the inner city, Sun Chang sat on it, his face was blue without the slightest expression.
"What happened to General Wei at this time?" Sun Chang asked as he turned to one of his generals.
Wei Xin is his confidant general, even after the city is broken, he still resolutely resists, but he was hit by the Shu army god shè, even at this time, Sun Chang still found a doctor for his diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible, I don't know what the situation is.
"Marshal, General Wei is too seriously injured, and an arrow hurt his lungs, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive noon today......" said the partial general, who had just gone to see it.
"Isn't it going to work?" Sun Chang frowned, his expression did not move,
Wei Xin is a general under Sun Chang's account, and he has been loyal for more than ten years, but now he can't.
"Could it be that I, Sun Chang, am going to die here?" Sun Chang muttered,
Wang Hongyi's Shu army was already 20,000 more in terms of numbers, and defending the city was nothing more than the city was strong and the river was wide, which was the sustenance of morale.
Now the defense of the inner city, compared with the outer city, is not at all the same, now it is just that there is no official attack, once the attack is launched for half a day, it will not be able to support it.
Inside the city of Xiangyang, outside the inner city, the three thousand pro-army were advancing with a clear banner, and in the middle of the team, Wang Hongyi was on the frame, his face was solemn.
"Zhang Qing, (3) Z come here, the street fighting is over. The next clean-up of the city is up to you. Remember, don't disturb the people, don't plunder property, don't jiānyínnv, if there is a disobedient, you can punish the orphan!" Wang Hongyi glanced at Zhang You and said suddenly.
Zhang Youzhi has a hand in the reception after the surrender of the city, as well as in appeasing the people's hearts.
has status, ability, and patience, such a thing is for Zhang Yuzhi to do, and Wang Hongyi is very relieved.
Compared with Shudi, Xiangyang is naturally not a foundation place, and it is impossible for Wang Hongyi to personally garrison Xiangyang and attack Xiangyang, but he just takes a fancy to Xiangyang's danger.
Zhang Youzhi supervised this matter, and there was no worries.
"The minister obeyed. After listening to Wang Hongyi's words, Zhang Youzhi stroked his short beard lightly and nodded.
Later, Zhang Youzhi took his own soldiers and the sword given by Wang Hongyi to supervise the pacification of the people in the outer city.
When he arrived in the inner city, Wang Hongyi watched.
Sure enough, this inner city is not big, but it is all open land, there are no houses and trees, the city wall is tall and solid, like a castle, looking at the inner city in front of him, Wang Hongyi frowned slightly, thoughtful.
Sun Chang is a famous general, he has some skills, and he has a set of governance in the territory, and Wang Hongyi thought about recruiting this person in three months.
Sun Chang didn't think that he had lost a day, he was unwilling, I don't know if Sun Chang would be able to change his mind at this time?
Although he already had the intention of getting rid of this person, when it came to the end, Wang Hongyi hesitated a little.
The world is in urgent need of talents, and it is possible, Wang Hongyi does not want to slaughter all the talented people.
"I've seen the lord!" At this time, the general Zhang Yi hurriedly came over to pay a visit.
"General Zhang, are you sure that you can break the city before noon?" Wang Hongyi looked at the inner city wall in front of him and asked.
"My lord, it will not be a problem to transfer a thunderbolt and attack the inner city before noon. He Yi replied that the inner city would not be able to withstand the bombardment.
Wang Hongyi nodded and said, "Send an order to go down and send a messenger to persuade you to surrender." ”
In the inner city, there were still 2,000 people, almost all of them with knife wounds and arrow holes, covered in blood, but they did not dare to relax at all, and stood under the city with bloody knives, ready for the last fight.
Sun Chang's hair was unkempt, his face was full of melancholy, his eyes were staring straight into the distance, and the shouts and heralds outside were clearly heard, but he turned a deaf ear.
At this time, a personal soldier came in and said loudly: "Dashuai, the envoy of the Shu army wants to come in, and he wants to ask Dashuai to speak in person!"
Sun Chang got a haircut, straightened his clothes, stabilized himself, and said, "See, let him in!"
A moment later, a messenger came in, with a solemn face, bowed and said, "I've seen Sun Shuai!"
At this time, Sun Chang had put life and death aside, but his bearing was calm, he stared at the tall body of the person in front of him, glanced at the official uniform of the nine products and hundreds of households, and snorted: "What did the Duke of Shu send you to do?"
"Sun Shuai, the lord said, you are a famous predecessor, the name of the general is well-deserved, now the world is big, each for its master, since the city has been broken, you have done your best, why not leave a useful body and surrender?"
"The lord said, if you no longer have the heart of the career, the lord will ensure that you return to the field with the property of the mansion and enjoy your old age, and if you still have the heart to do your best for the peace of the world, you will also be guaranteed to be a commander. ”
When Baihu said this, he bowed again: "The lord said, if you don't miss yourself, don't you miss your relatives?" The lord is sincere, and please Sun Shuai Mingjian!"
Sun Chang looked up to the sky and laughed, which made people feel shocked, and the messenger couldn't help but ooze cold sweat from his back.
After a moment, the laughter stopped, and his voice was hoarse and deep: "What is the difference between surrendering and dying? I, Sun Chang, have been heroes all my life, will I still be humiliated when I am old? For the sake of you being the messenger, I will not kill you, step down, and tell your lord what I said today!"
The messenger did not dare to make a sound, but anyway, he agreed, bowed again, and said, "Yes!"
And he withdrew.
After a while, the messenger bowed down in front of Wang Hongyi, and said in a retributive voice: "Enlighten the Lord, Sun Chang has rejected the lord's order, and he wants to resist stubbornly!"
"At this time, do you still swear not to surrender?" Wang Hongyi's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth sneered.
"Since Sun Chang yù and Xiangyang coexisted and died, Gusuo Xìng fulfilled him!" Wang Hongyi's eyes had flashed a strong killing intent: "Pass the Gu order, use a trebuchet to break through, and after attacking, kill all the people inside, and leave no one behind!"
"No!"
The sound of "boom, boom!" is also very powerful, although it is not a thunderbolt, it is a xiǎo-type catapult.
Everyone is making the final defense, but the people inside know very well that it is a matter of time before this place is broken by the Shu army.
"My lord, this place can't be defended, and the minister will cover your evacuation here!" said Li Zinian, the general of the guards.
At this time, Sun Chang's eyes were red, and he didn't hear it. He took off the long sword at his waist, and chōu took out half a foot.
As before, a cold light, like autumn water, this long sword, named "Qinglu", was obtained from this sword and went to the battlefield.
For decades, this sword has never left his body, killed many enemies, and also used it to kill fugitive generals, recording his exploits and sorrows.
Chōu came out and slowly stood up.
At this time, the city wall in the distance had fallen with a bang, and the Shu army poured in in large numbers, and he suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahahaha...... I have killed countless people, how can I regret it today? I can't imagine that Sun Chang's life will end here!"
The sword in his hand flashed a snowy arc of light, and it wiped it towards his neck, and suddenly blood splattered, and he stood there for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
At this time, the general who rushed in ordered: "Release the arrow!"
"No!"
There is no need to step forward to kill, at this time the soldiers are killed and wounded, how good is it?
Directly on the archers, against the guards in front of them, although the guards are rare jīng soldiers, but they are all Sun Chang's die-hard soldiers, it is impossible to surrender to the Shu army, killing them is the only choice.
Suddenly, several screams came to an end, bringing the battle of Xiangyang to an end.
At the moment when Sun Chang committed suicide, a breath of anger appeared in Xiangyang.
The original breath of Xiangyang disappeared, and the red qi was misty, and a bōbōdàng rippled the void, circulating and flowing.
Looking at it from a high altitude, the red qi condensed in Shu officially spread from Hanzhong, until Shangyong, then to Xincheng, and finally concentrated in Xiangyang.
In the red qi, a dragon changed again, and dragon horns grew on the dragon's head, and claws were born.
Shangyong, Xincheng, and Xiangyang's red qi are connected, representing Wang Hongyi's dragon qi and pillars, soaring into the sky.
Although this scene is difficult for ordinary people to see, all ghosts, gods and cultivators, as well as some hermits who can see the dragon qi, are not shocked by this dragon qi.
On the hills, the hidden mén of the army passed through the Xuan, watching, only to see the red gas spiraling upward, never ending, not stopping for a moment, there is a red dragon flying in the air, showing the appearance of the king, the heart is quite excited, the moment of peace is really said.
"Senior brother, this dragon qi should be caused by the Duke of Shu attacking Xiangyang, right?" Ping Zhen asked: "It seems that it is really a wise move to assist the Duke of Shu to compete in the world, in just a few years, to have this achievement, the Duke of Shu is really a hero in the world!"
His words were agreed by Tong Xuan: "What you said is not wrong, but unfortunately, it is not the first time that we support the Duke of Shu, otherwise, the benefits will be greater." ”
The assistant of this person was helpless at first, but with the continuous development of this person, the benefits of the hidden mountain gradually increased, and in this case, he became more and more concerned about Wang Hongyi's hegemony.
"After capturing Xiangyang, it should be Nanjun's turn next. Tong Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "Pass on the secret order of the Hidden Mountain, so that the outer disciples who live in Nanjun will try their best to assist the Duke of Shu!"
Almost at the same time, a hill in Nanjun was also watching in the distance.
For a moment, he threw the teacup in his hand, and was silent for a moment, staring and contemplating.
After a moment, the Taoist slowly opened his eyes: "The dragon is surging to the sky, forming a pillar of heaven, and it already has the appearance of a king, but this must be a broken city...... Sun Chang is resolute and resolute, and will never surrender, hey, another general has died in the world. ”
"It's time to inform ****!" The Taoist slowly stood up, staring into the distance, motionless.
Under the hills, thousands of miles of fields, as far as the eye can see, silent.
