Chapter 528 Fighting in Chengdu Part 5

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Wu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. They did not have this training in siege in the city at night, and they didn't know whether they could defend him, but he did not reveal it and said to Liu Xun: "We have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and we have sufficient food and supplies, so we should be able to defend it, but we have no eyes on the sword and arrow. The man is in danger in the outer city. Please go to the inner city to supervise the battle."

Like other big cities, Chengdu is divided into inner and outer cities, but after all, Chengdu has not encountered any wars for many years, and the defenders do not have the experience of Jingzhou Army in fighting the enemy.

In fact, it was only after the first time Chaisang lost that Liu Jing realized the serious consequences of the connection between the inner and outer cities and rebuilt it. However, there had never been any war in Chengdu, so he naturally did not realize that the inner and outer cities should be separated.

Seeing that the war was approaching, Liu Xun did not dare to stay in the outer city, so he bowed and bowed, "It's all for the time being General Wu."

"I will do my best to do my best."

Wu Yi looked at Liu Xun's back and hurried away. He couldn't help but sigh softly. The biggest problem they had now was not that they lacked military strength and food, but that the people were not in favor of the people. They wanted to recruit people, but in ten days they only recruited thousands of people. The people in Chengdu were not willing to work hard for Liu Xun. After all, it was because Liu Xun's name was not justified and the people did not recognize him as the lord of Yizhou.

Since Liu Zhang's death, the people of Yizhou have been in chaos, and all counties have been waiting and watching the situation develop. Even the ten thousand troops in the city have not worked for Liu Xun, but because the prestige of Wu Yi, Zhang Ren and others is still there. Once the situation is clear, the army may fall apart.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden loud bang, and Wu Yi felt his feet shake violently and almost fell down. He held the battlements and looked back and saw that many soldiers above the water gate fell to the ground. A Jingzhou military warship hit the water gate and the city wall cracked.

Wu Yi immediately realized that the Jingzhou army was going to use warships to board the city. He shouted loudly: "Shoot me the arrows and block them from climbing the city."

Crossbowmen on the top of the city shot arrows at the big ship, but they had no targets. There were no soldiers on the ship. They could only shoot countless arrows from the shooting hole of the arrow tower toward the city. Soldiers were constantly being shot down on the top of the city, and screams came one after another.

At this moment, the staircase that was originally erected on the bow of the ship began to slowly lower it and thrust on the head of the city. According to the initial combat plan, the next step was to throw a large amount of turmeric oil into the city to form a fire area, and then the eagle attack army climbed the city.

But today the plan was temporarily revised, and the Eagle Strike Army was changed to heavy armored infantry to climb the city, so there was no need to throw tinder oil anymore, which would instead cause huge obstacles for heavy armored infantry to climb the city.

As the city ladder slowly lowered, ten heavily armored infantrymen appeared on the wooden platform behind the ladder. They were the first wave of impact, and the tallest figure was Liu Hu.

When the city ladder had just been put on the top of the city, Liu Hu roared and waved the saber to rush to the top of the city. The long sword slashed out violently. The heads of the two guards were chopped out, and the sword flew away and the sword flew back. The other soldier was chopped into two sections. The other nine soldiers followed him to kill the city.

The ten heavily armored infantrymen were selected with elite troops, all of whom were over eight feet tall, with wide arms and round waists and extremely powerful strength. In an instant, they opened a space of meter in the city.

At this time, more than a dozen large ships were already connected one after another, and two thousand heavily armored infantry ran in line, with the scabbards in their hands shining coldly. The soldiers were full of murderous aura and rushed up the city platform and rushed towards the city heading along the city ladder.

Wu Yi's eyes were red with anger and shouted: "Shoot the arrows"

The overwhelming arrows shot towards the heavy armored infantry, but the defenders saw a terrifying scene. The arrows shot on the enemy, but they had no effect at all, bounced away, as if they were invulnerable to swords and guns.

At this time, the famous heavily armored infantry rushed to the city. The city they occupied was getting wider and wider. They lined up to fight, and they lined up in two groups, strangling left and right on the city. Wherever they went, they were unstoppable. The ground was covered with broken corpses, flesh and blood flying, and their heads and limbs were piled up on the city.

In fact, heavy armor infantry is mainly used to deal with cavalry. They are at great risk of fighting alone. For example, their biggest weakness is that they are inconvenient to walk and it is difficult to stand up once they fall. The enemy can be covered with traps and obstacles on the ground. Secondly, their heavy armor is not inseparable from swords and guns. They can be shot through with the powerful iron arrows of the ten-stone yellow crossbow.

But the reason why heavy armored infantry succeeded repeatedly was their surprise. The other party had no idea that there was such an army, and there was no preparation in advance. At least the Yizhou army was not prepared. It would be different if it was Cao's army or Jiangdong army. The Cao's army and Jiangdong army had suffered great losses in their hands and were prepared to deal with it in advance.

The Yizhou army was not prepared. They watched their teammates slaughtered like chopping melons and vegetables, and died miserably. Half of their heads were cut off, their arms and thighs were cut into two pieces, and their internal organs flowed out of the broken body. The bloody smell of the air was vomited. The soldiers were scared to death, their fighting spirit disappeared, and they turned around and fled to death.

Wu Yi was so anxious that he shouted, not allowing the soldiers to escape. He killed more than a dozen deserters in a row, but could not stop the soldiers from escaping.

At this time, he suddenly found that tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers boarded the ship on the shore, and using the open upper city passage to kill the city. The Jingzhou army on the top of the city had exceeded the number of Yizhou army. Wu Yi felt a little desperate.

"General, retreat to the inner city soon, otherwise it would be too late."

Wu Yi's personal soldiers shouted loudly. Regardless of whether Wu Yi was willing or not, they lifted him up and ran towards the inner city. The Yizhou army was defeated in the outer city. The outer city gate had been opened, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and tens of thousands of troops lying outside the city rushed into the outer city...

The inner city and the outer city were about two steps apart, without a moat or a suspension bridge, the army rushed directly to the city gate. Several soldiers held huge city hammers and violently hit the inner city gate. The dull and huge sound spread throughout the city. The city walls were shaking, and the soldiers stood unsteadily.

Liu Xun on the inner city was so scared that he trembled all over. He watched the dark enemy troops enter the inner city. He felt his feet shaking violently. The city gate made a thrust sound that was about to be knocked open. Liu Xun's legs were frightened and he helped the guards to escape into the city. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards surrounded him and fled to the city and fled in panic to the provincial governor's mansion.

Zhang Ren and Wu Yi each led a thousand people to fight to the death on the city heads on the east and west sides to the heavy armored infantry attacked the inner city. There was no partition in the middle, and they could only rely on their flesh and blood to resist the enemy.

At this time, the inner city defenders also knew that the inner city gate was about to be broken, and Chengdu was about to fall, and everyone was desperate. Even Liu Xun escaped, and no one was willing to work hard. The soldiers took off their armor, threw away their weapons, left the city and fled into the city.

At this moment, the fire suddenly shone brightly on the outer city. Thousands of soldiers raised their torches and shone the outer city as if it were daytime. The dull drum sound of the drum sounded like an order. All the attacks of the Jingzhou army suddenly stopped. The heavy armored soldiers stopped sprinting, and the soldiers who hit the door stopped hitting and quickly retreated.

The defenders were at a loss and looked up at the outer city. They saw a cavalry of more than a thousand people surrounded by a general with a golden helmet and armor on the top of the city. The flag was waving. Under the fierce firelight, a big word Liu appeared clearly on the banner. The soldiers of Yizhou on the inner city became slightly turbulent. This was the arrival of Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou.

Liu Jing stopped above the main gate, and he held up his halberd high. The whole city suddenly became quiet. He shouted: "Listen, brothers guarding the city, I am Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou. I don't want to kill you. I will give you a chance to put down your weapons and surrender. The Jingzhou army will not violate the situation. All the property of all military officials will be protected. Before noon tomorrow, if Chengdu has not surrendered, the Jingzhou army will massacre the city and establish its authority."

His voice was low and clear, echoing on the inside and outside the city. Everyone could hear it clearly. The defenders all lowered their heads. Even Zhang Ren felt extremely tired, no fighting spirit in his heart, and sighed softly.

Liu Jing immediately ordered to "retreat the troops"

The Jingzhou army retreated like a receding tide. A quarter of an hour later, the Wanjingzhou army retreated cleanly. Even the soldiers and wounded soldiers of the fallen soldiers were carried away. The ladder of the city was pulled up by a hinge, and the fleet began to slowly retreat.

Wu Yi looked at the empty outer city and couldn't help but sigh, saying to himself: "The situation is over."

.........

This night, Chengdu City was destined to be a sleepless night. The Jingzhou army retreated at the last moment of breaking through the city. It was not a retreat, but a chance to surrender. The people no longer supported the Liu Zhang family. More than 8,000 recruited civilians fled overnight, and even the soldiers who trained them ran away.

The morale of the army also disintegrated. From the fourth update, the soldiers of the entire battalion took off their armor, discarded their weapons and fled to the people to hide. By dawn, there were only more than 10,000 troops left.

The sky in the east gradually turned white, and the sky was already bright, and you could see the mountains and rivers in the distance. Wu Yi was alone, patrolling the outer city alone. The remaining soldiers who had not escaped were busy cleaning up the bodies in the outer city and carrying water to wash the blood all over the ground.

At this time, an officer rushed to Wu Yi and pointed at the outer city gate: "General Wu, the outer city gate has been destroyed, and the iron chains of the outer city suspension bridge have also been cut off. At least it will take a god to repair it."

Wu Yi sighed and shook his head and said, "Don't repair it, let it go."

The officer was stunned for a moment and left hesitantly. Wu Yi looked at the soldiers beside him again. The soldiers stopped their work and looked at him blankly. Wu Yi smiled reluctantly and asked, "Do you still want to fight again?"

All the soldiers shook their heads, and an older veteran said, "We don't want to fight again, but we don't want to abandon the old general and run away."

"I know"

Wu Yi's nose was a little sore, and he nodded and said, "I won't let you die in vain, and I won't let your family be massacred."
