The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 43
The bloody battle at Xiaoting was baptized by the torrential rain. Even if the tower of the blood station was being unfolded, there was not a trace of blood left. It all flowed into the moat with the rain.

When Zhuge Qiao approached the battlefield in the north, the Wu army retreated; when he walked in, he found that most of the fallen corpses were left by the Wu army, and the guards were also beheaded, which also showed the strength of the white-eared elite soldiers. brave.

At this moment, there was a loud screaming from outside the city gate; Zhuge Qiao closed his eyes and turned his head to the outside of the city. How much he wished to see the big flag of Shu Han when he opened his eyes, but his ears heard the words "Open!" The words "City Gate" made my heart sink; I opened my eyes decisively and said, "The one who should come is still here."

"Defend the city gates, they don't have siege equipment and won't attack the city." Zhuge Qiao swallowed as he looked at the tens of thousands of Wu troops outside the city. An army of 480 marched against Greece. King Leonidas led 30 elite soldiers to guard the city of Thermopylae for two days. His entire army was wiped out, and the Persian army lost 2 people. It is exactly the same He also led three hundred elite soldiers, but he didn't know if he could hold this section of the city wall.

The army of Wu under the city had already reached the moat. Sun Heng yelled at the gate tower to open the door, but no one answered him; but three heads were left behind. Sun Heng wanted to fly to the city immediately and behead Zhuge Qiao and others when he saw it, but the fact is that He could only stare at Zhuge Qiao under the city tower and was at a loss.

"Listen, general, there seems to be fighting in the city. It seems that the Han army only occupied this section of the city wall and not the entire city," Sun Heng's deputy general reminded.

At this time, a large number of Wu troops poured out from the direction of the city corner, "General, wait a moment, I will put down the suspension bridge and let the general enter the city."

Sun Heng's tense nerves also calmed down a little.
"Follow me" shouted loudly, and then walked towards the south gate.The soldiers who were at the corner of the city just now rushed to the center of the city gate; the soldiers attacking the city under the inner city also heard the movement outside the city and knew that this must be their own army, otherwise the Han army would not have opened the city gate, so they immediately Changed the offensive and attacked towards the city gate, began to move the stones and rolling logs there, and prepared to open the city gate and cut off the suspension bridge.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Qiao immediately decided, "Go and stop the Wu army on the city wall" and pointed to the dozens of imperial forest troops beside him.But he led Qin Hong and Qin Shan to approach the stairs of the inner city wall, ready to rush down to prevent Wu Jun from opening the city gate;

More than [-] Yulin troops were summoned and began to go down the stairs on the left, but Wu Jun blocked the stairs, making it difficult for Zhuge Qiao to break through; The corpse of Wu Jun below got up and rushed towards the city gate, Qin Hong and Qin Shan followed closely behind, and the Yulin Army also jumped down the city without hesitation; Chen Dao, who was standing on the tower commanding, saw this scene, It was also a long time since he could not let go, Zhuge Qiao had brought him too much shock, which made him a little unwilling to believe it.

Zhuge Qiao rushed to the front, and the Qin brothers guarded him. The long spear in his hand had long been discarded, but he was holding a simple knife to chop and stab endlessly. Staying at the city gate made it impossible for Zhuge Qiao to attack, but Zhuge Qiao still did not give up. The Wu army lineup was constantly attacking, with fewer and fewer soldiers around him, but more and more enemies surrounded him. A sense of powerlessness, "Are you really going to admit defeat like this?"

When there were less than ten imperial guards around him, and Qin Hong and Qin Shan were also injured, Wu Jun finally cleared all the obstacles piled up at the gate of the city, and was about to open the gate to welcome the army; an imperial guard rushed in suddenly Zhuge Qiao also looked over there, and it turned out that it was Chen Dao who left his command position and ventured into the enemy formation;

Although Wu Jun's army formation was able to resist Zhuge Qiao, it seemed a bit reluctant to resist Chen Dao. Chen Dao entered the formation and charged towards the city gate. He waved his spear and there were no generals around him, but Wu Jun still did not retreat. In the second half step, he desperately resisted Chen Dao's killing; and the city gate was instantly brighter. Zhuge Qiao looked up and saw that the city gate had been opened. It was up to Chen Dao to control the city gate before Wu Jun cut off the suspension bridge. Otherwise everything will turn into bubbles.

The soldiers of the Wu army outside the city shouted "Enter the city, enter the city,

Chen Dao also had a serious look on his face, he also knew the result after putting down the suspension bridge; he desperately rushed towards the city gate, how could the soldiers of the Wu army resist, Chen Dao, who was already mad, had already cut down a suspension bridge before the Wu army Chen Dao finally came to the door, grabbed a spear and threw it at the strong man who was cutting the chains of the suspension bridge with an axe. The strong man fell down in response, and Chen Dao killed the people at the door again. General of the Wu army; but at this time all the imperial guards beside him had stayed on the way of charging, and he was the only one standing under the west gate of Xiaoting.

He raised his spear above his head and challenged Wu Jun, and his silver-white armor and helmet stood there like a living god of war.

Suddenly there was chaos outside the city, as if they were fighting; Chen Dao knew that His Majesty was coming when he heard the voice, and even stood there tall, but Wu Jun didn't dare to move a bit. Maybe after this, today This scene will be remembered by the soldiers of the two armies, and it will never be forgotten.

Before the time for a stick of incense sticks, the suspension bridge was put down by the people on the tower. Could it be that the tower has fallen? Standing on the bridge was not Wu Jun soldiers, but Zhang Fei!The joy on the faces of the soldiers of the Wu army disappeared in an instant, and they began to flee crazily into the city instead.

Zhang Fei couldn't believe it when he learned that Zhuge Qiao led the [-] Imperial Forest Army to take Xiaoting, but Zhuge Qiao and him had the grace to save lives, and he was still a general under his tent, so he personally led Langzhong as the former army Desperately rushed to Xiaoting.

When the suspension bridge was lowered, Zhang Fei was stunned to see the scene in front of him. Chen Dao actually blocked hundreds of Wu troops by himself, preventing them from taking half a step forward. This also reminded Zhang Fei of his Changbanpo back then. The scene before the bridge.

"General Chariot, please enter the city quickly to kill the enemy." When Chen Dao saw Zhang Fei, he was very pleased.

"Uncle Zhihao is brave, and I will have a good drink with you after the celebration wine." After that, Zhang Fei led his army into the city to accept the city defense; but when they just entered the city, they met Sun Heng;

When Sun Heng saw that the Han army had taken control of the west gate, and there were still voices of resistance in Chengcheng, he knew that the Han army had not completely controlled the city gate, so he led his soldiers to enter from the south gate, but time did not favor him; When Zhang Fei had already entered the city, he knew that the situation was over, so he left the city with his soldiers.

Zhang Fei also didn't chase after him, and only cared about strangling the soldiers of the Wu army who were still in the city and controlling the various city gates, waiting for Liu Bei's army to arrive.
