Chapter 595
As these Yuzhang soldiers rang and shouted in Nanchang City, the news quickly spread throughout the city, and various soldiers in various departments stirred up trouble and mutiny.
You should know that there are about 20,000 defenders in Nanchang City, but most of them are soldiers from Yuzhang. The original 4,000 Liu Bei's regular soldiers were allocated to Huo Jun and more than 2,000 people. Previously, some small-scale battles with Zhao Yun lost nearly 1,000 people. Therefore, in Nanchang City, there are currently more than 1,000 soldiers in Linjiang Army, including Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's personal soldiers guarding Bai'er elite soldiers.
Among the nearly 20,000 Yuzhang soldiers, brave and brave people will always account for a certain proportion. Moreover, these soldiers and soldiers are even more mobs, and when the number of their own troops is nearly twenty times that of the other side, their courage will also increase a lot.
Previously, in order to prevent the Yuzhang Army from changing, Liu Bei and Xu Shu and others dismantled the few soldiers and sent them to key positions in the Yuzhang Army's divisions and battalions to monitor the latter. In this way, the Linjiang Army could not form a joint force, and it was easier to be defeated by each of them in such a mutiny in the whole city.
Therefore, in a short time, most of the soldiers in Linjiang in the city were killed like duckweed swept by the tide. Of course, those who were smart and not so loyal to Liu Bei also followed the trend and joined the mutiny of the Yuzhang soldiers. Most of the officials and generals of Linjiang in the city, such as Mi Zhu and Jianyong, died in the chaos of the soldiers. Huang Zhong, who was still recovering from the wounded, was tied up by many.
The same is true on the barriers and defense lines outside the city. Most of the Linjiang soldiers who act as generals of Yuzhang were killed by the mutiny of Yuzhang soldiers.
However, behind the barrier outside the north gate, two battalions of pure Linjiang soldiers were still fighting stubbornly under the command of their respective teams. They formed a shield formation, and swords, guns, swords and halberds kept calling the Yuzhang soldiers who were rushing up, and the crossbowmen behind them kept firing their bows and arrows. In a moment, hundreds of Yuzhang soldiers who were rushing around were knocked down. These Yuzhang soldiers retreated like rushing around, surrounding them from three sides.
One of the Linjiang Army's team leaders looked at these sheep-like opponents and increased their confidence in suppressing the mutiny. He shouted loudly, "If you don't put down your weapons, you will die!" But although the opponent was far away, no one put down the swords, guns, bows and crossbows in his hand. On the contrary, dozens of arrows rushed towards the Linjiang Army as a response to him. Pupu Pupu, most of the arrows were either shot in the air or shot on the shields of Linjiang Army soldiers.
The Linjiang army waved the knife in anger and said, "Brothers rushed forward and killed all these Yuzhang guys...ah!" Before he finished speaking, he screamed. In his sight, a spear blade emerged from under his chin. Screams and wails were heard one after another. It turned out that a large number of Liang's gun and shield soldiers quietly crossed the barrier and attacked them...
At the top of the city wall, sweat beads kept flowing down Liu Bei's face, and kept asking Xu Shu beside him: "Military advisor, what should we do now?"
At the moment, Liu Bei was not caught in the mutiny of Yuzhang soldiers and directly threatened them. On the contrary, he and Zhang Fei had 200 elite soldiers who could drive thousands of Yuzhang soldiers on the city like ducks to drive them. After a series of bloody battles, these Yuzhang soldiers only dared to shake their swords and guns at them from a distance, and also fire arrows.
But Liu Bei could not defeat them at all, let alone pacify the mutiny. According to common sense, even if the scale of the mutiny was large, with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's years of experience in leading troops and Xu Shu's wisdom, this mutiny was too special. It had no main organizational head, and pacifying it was like lifting several squares of water without any container. No matter how powerful the strong man could do it. What's more, there were Liang troops outside the city supporting him.
Xu Shu shook his head and replied to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do, we can't save the situation. The Yuzhang soldiers in the city must have rebelled. We can only die when we return to the city. Although these Yuzhang soldiers are all mobs, we have set up so many fortification traps specially used for street fighting in the city... Now, we can only rely on these less than two hundred elite soldiers to fight a way out. Escape from the west gate from the city. Fortunately, these Yuzhang soldiers and mobs cannot stop us. As long as we can rush through the Liang army's defense line, rush into the mountains to the west, and find an opportunity to join the Wei Kingdom, we may make a comeback!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a noise came from the north gate not far away. It turned out that the Yuzhang army above and below the city opened the north gate and let the Liang army enter the city.
Liu Bei laughed wildly: "We went to join the Wei Kingdom. The best ending was to be raised by Cao Cao's house, and we would like to talk about making a comeback. Let's just say, today is our last battle, and we will try our best to fight, either life or death!"
After saying that, he raised his two swords and led Zhang Fei, nearly two hundred elite soldiers to kill west along the corridor. After the Yuzhang soldiers in front of him set a random arrow, they ran back like frightened sheep. Xu Shubuxin, who was panting behind Liu Bei and others, was caught two arrows and fell on the top of the city.
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei ran along the city wall corridor to the west gate tower. The few Yuzhang soldiers who were slow to the ground were killed by them. When they rushed down the city, there were already dark Yuzhang soldiers under the stairs, and they shouted in a whisper:
"Hurry, I believe Liu Bei will escape from here. Everyone is ready."
"I heard that Liang Bing has entered the city from the north gate, so don't be afraid. There are not many people left by Liu Bei, and we can drown them even if we spit out."
"Kill Liu Bei, you can be granted the title of marquis! Take risks for this!"
While speaking, Liu Bei and others rushed over from the stairs like tigers going down the mountain. These Yuzhang soldiers rushed to the stairs with great force. The soldiers at the entrance of the stairs also raised their spears, spears, swords and shields to welcome Liu Bei and others.
Zhang Fei took the lead, shouted violently, and used eight spears to stab the left and right, and instantly separated the Yuzhang soldiers' spears. However, the other party's spears were too many and too dense, and the two personal soldiers on the left and right were still stabbed into funnels by random guns. Several white-eared elite soldiers behind him took the opportunity to rush into the Yuzhang soldiers from the gaps in the separate gun forest, slashing and slashing. After falling down five or six Yuzhang soldiers, the rest dispersed in awe of exclamations, making a large open space.
As soon as Liu Bei rushed to this open space, countless arrows shot towards them, as if the Yuzhang crossbowmen in the city were gathered here. In just a few breaths, most of the soldiers around Liu Bei and Zhang Fei fell in the dense rain of arrows.
"Kill Liu Bei, you can be a marquis! Kill!" Who led the way, thousands of Yuzhang soldiers under the Xicheng Gate shouted in unison. Under the group effect, each person's courage increased tenfold, and rushed towards Liu Bei and Zhang Fei like a tide...
