Chapter 761

"Dong! Dong

All of a sudden, the mighty sound of war drums, like thunder, sounded in the distance.

The sound of the drum is like rain beating plantain, which is very urgent.

More and more urgent drum, let the city upstairs defense of Wu soldiers more nervous.

The soldiers clenched their weapons, their faces were taut, their eyes were uneasy, but they were also well prepared. They're afraid, but they're holding on.

Xu Sheng stood on the tower, his eyes burning.

Looking at the approaching Chu army, Xu Sheng's breathing becomes more and more urgent.

Finally!

After seeing it clearly, Xu Sheng ordered the soldiers on the upper floor of the city to be on guard and prepare all the equipment for guarding the city.

Since he knew that Tai Shici was coming, Xu Sheng was preparing.

He placed all the weapons of defense, such as wooden poles, rolling stones, kerosene and catapults, on the city tower and let the soldiers use them. As long as the Chu army launched an attack, Xu Sheng could immediately organize a counterattack.

The distance is getting closer.

When the Chu army was less than 100 steps away from the city, it stopped advancing and formed an array.

The Chu army was arrayed with soldiers and strict military laws.

The drums of war are as loud as thunder.

The soldiers roared and roared.

The whole Wanling county is shrouded in murderous atmosphere.

Taishici rode his horse in front of the battle. He was wearing a helmet and armor, holding a sword. He was majestic. Staring at the county seat of Wanling County, he pointed his sword to the front and ordered: "crossbow hand, prepare!"

Sound like a bell, make the flag shake.

Only the soldiers in the array moved their positions, and the array changed.

A group of bowmen came forward quickly. These bows were unique weapons of Chu state, which were developed by craftsmen led by Huang Yueying.

Both range and lethality are far superior to ordinary crossbows.

One by one, the soldiers took aim at Wanling county.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Give me an order.

In a flash, nearly a thousand crossbows broke out of the air.

"Whew! Whew

The air was filled with the sound of crossbows and arrows.

The arrows pierced the air, and the dense arrows blocked the sky and the sun, and went straight to the city tower.

"Yes! Yes

Some of them fell to the ground, but many of them went through the tower and shot into the city. In this round of crossbows and arrows, some garrisons died under the crossbows and arrows.

A round of crossbows and arrows passed, and a second round of crossbows and arrows.

Several rounds of crossbows swept through the air, and nearly ten thousand of them landed on the city floor.

"Look, there's a note on the crossbow."

All of a sudden, the soldiers on the tower yelled.

The news immediately spread.

One soldier after another yelled, and countless soldiers took down the note.

There are only eight words on the note.

Those who fall will not be killed!

The official position remains unchanged!

These eight words are not only to ensure the lives of soldiers, but also to ensure the official posts of officers and soldiers stationed in Wu state, and to win over the resistance officers and soldiers.

Eight words arouse the hearts of countless people.

The hearts of the soldiers are floating.

Each heart has its own thoughts.

The elite of the state of Chu drove straight in, and even the governor Zhou Yu couldn't stop them. What did they stop?

The morale of the soldiers stationed in the garrison building was greatly affected.

Seeing this scene, Xu Sheng secretly scolded Tai Shici for his cunning. He immediately dispatched soldiers and collected all the crossbows and notes.

"If you talk about it again, kill it!"

Xu Sheng gave an order, and the soldiers who were guarding the city shivered.

For a while, no one will talk about it.

But the news of Chu army's surrender spread, fermenting in the hearts of the soldiers guarding the city.

Looking out of the city, Xu Sheng was alert.

Taishici only sent bowmen, didn't he attack?

At this moment, Xu Sheng's heart is still very nervous. He is ready to fight to the death, but after all, he is the first time to preside over such a big battle.

After taishici fired the crossbow, he ordered the archer to shoot again.

This time, the arrow was also tied with a note.

But the content of the note has changed. It is no longer the previous surrender, but the attack time.

"Attack in the afternoon!"

Six words, that's all.

Although Xu Sheng suppressed the news on the note, it soon spread.

Xu Sheng's face became more dignified.

It seems that taishici arranged this time to bewitch the morale of the army, but there is another purpose, that is, to make an appointment with the people in the city. If there are surrenders in the city, they will follow this time.

Xu Sheng has his own judgment, but it is difficult to deal with it.

Facing his attack, he could not even resist, let alone divide his forces.

Xu Sheng dispatched a small group of soldiers to the street leading to the gate of the city to monitor the movement in the city.After all this, Xu Sheng was waiting on the top of the city.

Time went by, and soon it was noon.

At lunch time, the Chu army outside the city buried the pot to cook rice, cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, which was a lively scene.

From the tower, it seems that the situation outside the city is in a mess.

After careful observation, Xu Sheng found that the regular army of Chu was not in chaos. If he leads the troops out to attack, the other side can intercept immediately.

In order to be safe, Xu Sheng did not attack.

The Chu army outside the city had lunch and was waiting outside the city.

In the afternoon, the weather was a little gloomy, but the clouds were scattered and the sun was shining on the earth.

The golden sun is shining inside and outside the city.

Time is getting closer and closer to Shenshi.

Before he arrived, the sword in his hand gradually aimed at the tower.

The Chu army in the army is ready to go.

"Kill

Tess suddenly ordered.

In a flash, the drums and horns were singing together.

The soldiers of the state of Chu rushed forward to the county seat of Wanling county.

As many as ten thousand soldiers were involved in the attack.

In this attack, taishici sent out the strongest elite to win Wanling county.

Chu soldiers charged and soon approached the city.

Wave after wave of soldiers build the ladder, and some soldiers carry the car crash hit the gate. When the siege equipment was set up, countless Chu troops began to attack.

When the Chu army attacked, Xu Sheng sent his soldiers to resist.

When the two sides were at war, they were in the city, six li away from the gate.

The major families of Wanling County gather here.

The head of the group was a clear looking old man.

His name is Zheng Qiu. He is over sixty years old. He is the oldest person in Nanchang family.

Among all the great families, Zheng Qiu has the highest prestige.

Leaning on a crutch, he said in a deep voice, "you guys, it's Shenshi now, and the Chu army outside the city has begun to attack the city. The general situation of Wu is gone, and now is the opportunity for our family in Wanling county to make contributions. "

"Zheng Gong's words are reasonable, and the state of Wu should be destroyed."

A middle-aged man echoed, his eyes shining.

"Zheng Gong orders."

"Please give the order of Zheng Gong."

……

When they heard the words, they began to speak.

The state of Wu was the yellow flower of yesterday, and could not guarantee the interests of the aristocratic family, so they prepared to borrow flowers to offer Buddhas, and presented Xu Sheng as a flower to the state of Chu.

Zheng Qiu stood up, crutches hit the ground, said: "send troops, lead the Chu army into the city."

"Here it is

They all answered in unison, and then went to prepare.

Half an hour later, in Wanling County, troops from all directions converged towards the gate of the city.

Every great family has its own details.

The number of troops gathered together is so large that there are more than 8000.

The children of eight thousand families run to the gate of the city.

The news soon spread to Xu Sheng, who dispatched a team of soldiers to stop him. However, in front of the private soldiers of the aristocratic family, the soldiers who resisted did not work at all. Instead, they were easily defeated by the private soldiers of the aristocratic family.

Xu Sheng has no way at all. His troops are all restrained.

Under the attack of Chu army, Xu Sheng had no surplus troops.

Because of the addition of private soldiers from the aristocratic families in the city, Xu Sheng's last straw to defend the city was completely crushed.
