The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 57

Fu Shiren

The peaceful Jiangling City was frightened by the sudden arrival of the Han army and became extremely tense. Not only did the tension not disappear, it became even more tense as the Han army attacked the city.

There are more than a hundred ladders built on the city wall; the Han army stepped on the ladders and carried their shields, and kept marching towards the tower, and the Wu army on the tower kept throwing logs and The stones and arrows never stopped; the iron pot with boiling water was already boiling, but the Han soldiers under the iron pot still did not stop climbing. The mouth of the pot slowly overflowed and touched the Han army below the city.

The Han army who was touched by the boiling water immediately let out a scream and fell off the ladder, and then frantically fled from the siege position. After all, no one can withstand the power it transmits when boiling water touches the skin. It can completely separate the skin from the flesh, and it is also considered to be the most brutal defense of the defender, and such scenes are still happening.

The momentum of the Han army attacking the city was not stopped by a few pots of boiling water. Countless Han soldiers under the city wall stepped on the arrows that had just been pierced into the city wall by the three-bow bed crossbow, and began to climb up the wall. It seems that all Han soldiers are climbing, which also explains why the Han army chose to use the three-bow bed crossbow at close range; taking Jiangling City in one go is a military order they have been indoctrinated before they set off.

Time passed slowly, the setting sun was no longer there, and the night was about to cover the entire land.

The Han army attacked one after another on the city wall, but only the corpses remained in the tower; the Han army still did not give up. Although they were just ordinary soldiers, they also knew that if Jiangling was captured in this battle, the whole battle would be affected. impact.

With the approach of night, after nearly two hours of siege, the corpses of the Han army lying under the city wall are countless; however, the Han army has stabilized its position on the tower, and naturally there are more and more soldiers behind. Climbing up, Fu Tong saw that the city tower had finally changed. He drove his horse to the city gate excitedly, waiting for the elite Han army under him to open the city gate in front of him, with a look of victory on his face. With a smile, "I'm going to make up my mind."

The soldiers did not disappoint their general, they rushed desperately to the top of the city and lowered the suspension bridge. Just when Fu Tong was about to board the suspension bridge, something unexpected happened.

"General, there are a large number of troops behind our army!" A scout suddenly ran to Fu Tong's horse.

"What banner are they flying, how many people are there, and how far is it?" Fu Tong was also shocked by the words of the scouts. If there were really a large number of troops, and this was the territory of Soochow, it would naturally be Dongwu. Wu's reinforcements.

"It's too dark, I didn't see the flag clearly, it's no less than [-] people, and it's less than five miles away!" The scout replied in a panic, and he himself knew what it meant to have a large number of troops behind him.

If the moonlight could shine on Fu Tong's face at this time, he would definitely see his ferocious expression, how terrifying it would be!
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Quickly withdraw..." After struggling for a while, leaving behind countless regrets, Fu Tong still chose to retreat; because he knew that even if he could block the reinforcements behind, he would not be able to break through continuously during this period of time. Jingzhou Nine Gates.

The Han army on the tower must have been unwilling to hear the call to retreat, but they still chose to obey the order and retreat down the tower.Fu Tong opened the way ahead, all the endless anger and dissatisfaction gathered on the blade of his sword, and rushed to Wu Jun's camp, and the blood washing was inevitable when the sword was swung.

Another chaotic fight made Fu Tong see the flag with the word "Lu" fluttering in the wind, but he couldn't guess who the word "Lu" represented.Since Fu Tong's purpose was to break through the siege, and Lu Xun's purpose was only to save Jiangling City, so there was not too much entanglement, and Fu Tong walked away, leaving behind the greatest regret in his life.

Gong'an City; a group of remnants suddenly came out from nowhere, and ran straight to the gate of Gong'an City, only to see Zhuge Qiao and Liu A who had just surrendered in the lead; "Soldiers on the tower, quickly open the gate and let us wait." Entering the city, I am Liu Ah, the prefect of Wuling County," Liu Ah who was beside Zhuge Qiao shouted towards the tower.

"If you were the prefect of Wuling, how could you be so down and down?" A man who looked like a general on the tower asked the city.

"Wuling City was breached by the Han army a few days ago. I escaped from Wuling City. Open the door quickly! The Han army is chasing us," Liu Ah explained hastily.

"Please wait a moment, I will let the general know before I can open the city gate for you." The man disappeared on the tower after finishing speaking.

In less than a quarter of an hour, another obese man in military uniform appeared on the city tower, "General Fu, do you still remember, we have met several times?" Liu Ah saw the tower The general on board shouted excitedly.His shout surprised Zhuge Qiao, General Fu?Could it be that he is Fu Shiren, the Fu Shiren who once surrendered to the city without bloodshed, leading to Guan Yu's defeat; Zhuge Qiao only cared about the guards of Wuling before, but did not pay attention to the public security. I have come to end you unfaithful and unrighteous person.

"Oh! It's Taishou Liu, why did you come to my little brother's Public Security City today?" Fu Shiren glanced at Liu Ah, and asked him in a completely sarcastic tone.

"General Fu, Wuling City has been captured by the Han army. The troops of the Han army will come after them immediately. Please ask General Fu to open the city to save the next life." When Liu Ah said this, he still did not forget to look behind him A few glances to cover up his behavior.

"What did Taishou Liu say? You and I are both courtiers of the Eastern Wu, and we will try our best to defend one side for the Eastern Wu; although your Wuling City has been captured, there is still my police, and the Han army cannot attack." Fu Shiren He kept mocking Liu Ah, but Liu Ah was still humble, waiting for the city gate to open; he himself knew that after the city gate opened, Fu Shiren's soldiers would definitely not be opponents of the Han army. There is a dead end, and it is impossible for Shu Han to forgive him.

"The general, please open the door." Liu A continued his humble request.

"Unexpectedly, Taishou Liu has an order, so let's open the city gate." Fu Shiren said with another look at Liu Ah with contempt.

Following Fu Shiren's military order, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate was opened; Liu Ah stepped on the suspension bridge and walked towards the city. Ominous breath, but I can't tell what's wrong;
When Liu Ah entered the city, he walked straight to Fu Shiren on the tower, "Thank you, General Fu, for saving your life."

"Prefect Liu is polite." At the moment when Fu Shiren was proud, Zhuge Qiao and Qin Hong behind Liu Ah immediately rushed out. Zhuge Qiao drew out his dagger and swung it at the unsuspecting Fu Shiren's neck; Going down, but chose to stay on his neck, Qin Hong also blocked Fu Shiren's personal soldiers for Zhuge Qiao at this time.
