Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Therefore, Ruo Rong was designated as a traitor by the court of Wancheng.Sun Ce originally intended to take Yuzhang County, how could he let go of such a justifiable and great opportunity, and put Yuan Shu aside first.First go to Yuzhang to destroy the rebel Ruo Rong.

On the western front, Feng Yu, who contributed the most troops, was elected as the leader of the alliance.He knew that if troops were not sent to attack Yuan Shu in time, it would be difficult for Xuzhou on the eastern front to withstand Yuan Shu's onslaught alone.So in August of that year, Wuyang was used as the logistics supply distribution center.Lead the army of princes gathered in Xinye to kill Runan.

The troops under his command were the entire army of Zhao Yun, nearly 5000 troops from Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Shi Xie, and [-] reclamation soldiers from Wuyang City, plus personal scout guards, and a few special forces.A total of nearly ten thousand people.

The battle in the Guanzhong Plain is drawing to a close.Although the Guanzhong Plain in Hexi is sparsely populated, Feng Yu has not completely controlled the cities and villages.However, the remnants of the Xiliang rebels were basically surrendered, wiped out, or driven out by Hua Xiong.

The safety of Chang'an is no longer in danger.Therefore, Feng Yu transferred Gao Shun's trap camp from Chang'an to Wuyang to prevent the enemy's surprise attack on the granary after the Eastern Expeditionary Army penetrated deep into the hinterland.

……

On a clear autumn day, outside Pingyu City, two hundred miles southeast of Wuyang City, a large group of soldiers and horses marched.This soldier and horse is very peculiar, and there are several kinds of livery.Armor is also various.Soldiers are also of different heights, the gap is huge, and some soldiers are even several feet tall, like giants.

Even the mounts are very strange, there are tall horses with a shoulder height of nearly six feet, and war elephants with a tall back.Naturally, it was Feng Yu's Eastern Expeditionary Army.

Yuan Shu has a total force of nearly 10, and most of the mobile forces have been transferred to the front line of Xuzhou.The remaining 3 people are the garrison troops guarding the various cities.

Therefore, in the face of Feng Yu's attack, he can only use the tactics of defending each city to defend.Instead of maneuvering against the Han army in the wilderness.

It's just that Pingyu City is the city closest to the western frontier, and it is also the seat of Runan County, so it is Yuan Shu's key defensive city.

There are as many as [-] troops stationed in Pingyu City, much higher than the garrison strength of other cities, and a large amount of food and grass are stored.In addition, Yuan Shu sent his confidant general Zhang Xun to guard Pingyu.

At this time, Zhang Xun, who was standing on the top of the city, looked at the endless army below the city with flags and flags everywhere, his eyelids twitched.My heart was already in a state of panic.

Two hours ago, Zhang Xun had obtained information about the Han army's attack, and knew that the opponent's army was powerful.Who dared to confront the opponent outside the city, and hastily ordered the four gates to be closed and sealed.Even a strong fort set up outside the city as a support was abandoned, allowing the soldiers to withdraw into the city.Made a gesture of sticking to the city to the end.

The defenders at the top of Pingyu City were also panicked.Most of them had never seen an elephant. When they saw the ten elephants in the Han army's formation, they thought they were some monsters.

Under the city, soldiers with loud voices began to yell to persuade them to surrender, and arrows carrying letters of persuasion were also shot at the city head by strong crossbows and hard bows.At the same time, the Han army divided into several groups and besieged Pingyu on all sides.But the head of Pingyu City did not respond.Inside the city, civilian husbands and soldiers picked up earth and stones and hurriedly blocked the city gate.

Zhao Yun looked up at the sky, and the sun was gradually sinking to the west.He then asked Feng Yu: "Master, it's getting late, should we set up camp first?"

A system task panel flashed before Feng Yu's eyes:

[Mission: Defeat the city; Mission content: Conquer Pingyu City today and annihilate Yuan Jun's defenders.Mission completion reward: Ballista Workshop building card x1, unlocked for ballista training. 】

So he replied in a godlike way: "You don't need to spend time setting up camp, you can take Pingyu today. The main force of the army will enter the city to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers came to report, "Report! General Chariot and Cavalry, the siege equipment has been assembled and ready to go."

Feng Yu ordered in a cold voice: "Pass on my military order and attack the city immediately!"

After a while, boulders weighing hundreds of catties were thrown towards Pingyu City by the counterweight trebuchet.Every time the boulder hit the city wall, the defenders at the top of the city could feel a wave of shaking.A pit appeared immediately where the rammed earth wall was hit, splashing countless muck.

At the same time, dozens of bed crossbows projected crossbow guns into the city.Although not very accurate, the huge killing effect also shocked the defenders.A lieutenant of Yuan Jun was unfortunately shot by a crossbow spear. The spear pierced obliquely from above the chest, pierced through the buttocks, and nailed the whole person to the ground.

A huge boulder happened to hit the city gate, and the wooden city gate was instantly torn apart. A soldier who was piling up soil to block the gate was stuck in his throat by flying thick sawdust.

With the continuous bombardment of the Han army, the cracks on the rammed earth walls became more and more wide.Zhang Xun's face also became paler and paler.

Chapter 148 Kecheng

The afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the shirtless soldiers.They spun the capstan with all their might, pulling down the lever arm of the catapult.At one end of the cantilever is a large basket of gravel weighing tons.The rubble was pulled up and suspended in the air.

Then the boulder to be launched was placed, and the leader in charge gave an order, and the machine button was pulled open.The ton-heavy gravel fell against the cantilever, and the boulder at the long end of the lever was thrown out at a speed several times faster than that of a free-falling body.

The boulder hit the rammed earth wall of Pingyu City again.Accompanied by exclamations from the top of the city, the front half of the city wall, which was about ten battles long, collapsed in an instant, and dust billowed into the sky.Many defenders were unable to dodge in time and were crushed under the ruins.

There were also some who retreated swiftly to the remaining corridors at the top of the city that were only a few feet wide.They were worried that the second half of the city wall under their feet would not last long, so they ran away frantically.

Sure enough, under the continuous heavy impact of the boulder, the second half of the incomplete city wall also collapsed.There is a gap in the entire city wall that is more than ten battles wide and only a few battles high.

When the dust fell to the ground a little, a large group of soldiers of the Han army rushed towards the gap.The heavy soldiers pushed more than a dozen specially-made bridge carts into the moat, and "covered" the moat at the gap in a blink of an eye.

Wearing light rattan armor, Jiaozhou soldiers who are good at climbing are responsible for the main attack.At this time, they quickly rushed across the moat and began to climb up the ruins of Zhan Yugao.

Behind them, a large number of crossbowmen threw arrows into the city to provide them with cover. The strong arrows drew a parabola on the ruins like a summer rainstorm, and fell behind the ruins.

In Pingyu City, amidst the hoarse shouts of the generals, Yuan Jun soldiers gathered towards the gap with arrows all over the sky.When the Jiaozhou soldiers climbed to the top of the ruins, the arrows thrown by the Han army stopped abruptly.

"Kill! Push them back!" Zhang Xun, who was present at the scene, pulled out his sword, pointed at the sky, and shouted.More than a thousand Yuan soldiers who had gathered near the ruins of Kuokou shouted in unison, and charged towards the ruins with guns and knives.The two sides immediately fought hand-to-hand on the ruins.

With a sound of "Suddenly", the steel knife in the sword shield hand of a certain Yuan Bing slashed away, and made a muffled sound when it hit the opponent's rattan shield, only a white trace was cut, and there was no other effect.The other party had already stabbed the steel knife in his belly. It was a steel knife with a shape quite different from that of the Central Plains Fist Knife.

But with a loud shout, a heavy spear struck.The Jiaozhou soldier raised his shield to block it, and with a muffled sound of metal piercing into wood, the rattan shield was pierced by the opponent's heavy spear in an instant, and the spear blade pierced the Jiaozhou soldier's rattan armor and pierced his heart.

Not far away, another Yuan soldier stabbed the opponent's rattan armor with a steel knife.But the opponent's slightly curved weapon also cut a fatal wound on his throat.

The Yuan Jun general with a heavy spear pierced through a rattan armor again.He drew out his bloody heavy spear, cursed, and aimed at another Jiaozhou soldier who was fighting fiercely, ready to stab him.

At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a huge figure rising in front of the ruins, and then a white light and shadow swept towards his neck with lightning speed.

It was a long knife with a long knife shaft and a three-foot-long straight and sharp blade.General Yuan Jun's head fell off in an instant, and the headless body stood upright for a while before collapsing into a pile on the ground like a puppet with broken strings.

More than a dozen giant ape warriors boarded the ruins, and there were a large number of elite spear-throwing and shield soldiers behind and around them.The battle at the top of the ruins immediately became one-sided.Yuan Jun's soldiers were massacred and began to collapse under the ruins.

On the streets of the city behind the ruins, a large number of city defenders continued to pour in, including a large number of crossbowmen, and arrows began to shoot at the Han soldiers on the ruins one after another.

The arrows ding-ding-dong-dong shot on the shield, vine armor, scale armor, and ring armor, making different impact sounds.But it did not cause too much trouble to the heavily guarded Han army.

Suddenly, flying spears and javelins poured down on Yuan Jun's head like torrential rain.These Yuan Jun soldiers were already weak in armor, how could they resist the powerful javelin flying spears projected at close range.Amidst the screams and wailing, pieces fell down in pieces.

Captain Feng Yujun, who commanded the battle, pointed his saber at the city and shouted: "Kill the thief!"Behind them followed a large number of Jingzhou army and Yizhou army infantry...

At the beginning, Zhang Xun tried his best to stabilize the situation, slashing and killing with his saber, not only cutting down the infantry of the Han army rushing down, but also killing his own defeated soldiers.

But soon he found that the situation was completely out of control, and if he didn't escape, he would have to lose his life here.So, under the escort of several personal soldiers, he fled among the defeated army and fled to the south city, where there was the only city gate that was not completely sealed...

The suspension bridge at the south gate was lowered, and the gate was wide open.The piles of sand and soil that had been piled up in the city gate were smashed away again, and the defeated army poured out of the city gate one after another, fleeing to the south.Suddenly, from the other side of the moat, a large number of Han soldiers with super long spears poured in from both sides of the other end of the suspension bridge.

Rulin's long spears shot at Yuan Bing who was pouring out of the city gate.Amidst the wailing and bloody wind, the chaotic Yuan Bing was stabbed into honeycombs one by one.

Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers and guards, Zhang Xun got out of the south gate, rushed along the suspension bridge to the other side of the moat, trying to kill a bloody road.Puff chick, with a wave of random gunshots, dozens of guards in front of Zhang Xun were stabbed to the ground.

Several brave Zhang Xun's personal guards held shields and knives, stepped on the corpses of their companions, jumped up, and jumped into the forest of guns.The first two were pierced by several spears in mid-air, and the one following them took advantage of the gap, holding two short knives, and jumped into the formation of spearmen.

The two short knives in his hand danced in a ball of light, frantically stabbing and slashing the spearmen of the nearby Han army.Within a few breaths, five or six spearmen fell into a pool of blood, and a slight gap appeared in the entire dense spear array.

At this moment, the spearmen in the last row took a few steps back, and stabbed at the mass of swords with several spears.Suddenly, there was the sound of sharp scraping between the blade and the barrel of the gun, followed by a scream.The left hand of Zhang Xun's personal guard had been pierced by the blade of the gun, and the short knife fell to the ground, and then a spear pierced his forehead.

At this time, under the attack of spears from three sides, Zhang Xun's more than [-] personal guards were left very few.

With a strange cry, Zhang Xun led a few personal guards and attacked the gap in the previous spear formation with swords. Dozens of long spears rushed in densely, and more than a dozen long spears pierced Zhang Xun's body, and then pushed him high. He lifted it into the air and fell heavily to the ground.The rest of Zhang Xun's personal guards were already terrified, and they all knelt down and begged for surrender...

At this time, the sky was dark, and the soldiers of the Han army who had entered Pingyu City had controlled the whole city.The streets and alleys in the city are full of soldiers of the Han army walking around with torches, illuminating the whole city with bright lights.

Chapter 149 Swept

Under the gate of Xincai County, more than a dozen armored warriors with long knives and large shields, as high as a battle, came rushing forward with slightly hunched backs.From time to time, it makes a roar like a wild beast.

In their hands, several heavy axes were easily thrown like small halberds for ordinary throwing.With a few crisp sounds from Pengpeng, the thick rope pulling the suspension bridge was chopped off by the spinning battle axe.With a bang, the suspension bridge fell heavily.Xincai is a small city, and the suspension bridge is suspended with ropes, not iron cables.

Several giant ape warriors rushed down the city gate with their scull shields on their hands.Arrows from the top of the city shot at them crazily, and when they approached, rolling wood and rocks fell like raindrops, but it didn't seem to have the slightest effect on them.

"Boom! Boom!...Boom", the city gate of Xincai County seemed to be hammered by a heavy weight.Two giant ape warriors, wielding huge iron hammers, bombarded the gate of the city with each hammer, each hammer made the soldiers of Yuan Jun standing at the gate tremble.

With the sound of the door panel cracking, a huge crack appeared in the city gate of Xincai County.More than a hundred soldiers were fighting against the city gate, and the last few people suddenly ran away.Immediately afterwards, more people fled the battle, and fled to the city one by one.

When a general who was supervising the battle at the rear was about to shout and curse, there was a bang, and the gate of the city was smashed open by a heavy hammer.The soldiers blocking the door fell down.

The tall figures of giant ape warriors in heavy armor appeared in their line of sight. The strange thing is that these giant ape warriors did not rush into the city, but flashed to both sides with a few shouts and howls.

In the city, when nearly a thousand defenders lined up and behind the city gate were wondering, there was suddenly the sound of iron hooves running, and the bluestone slabs under their feet began to tremble violently.

Then, rows of iron cavalry with shoulder heights appeared before their eyes. They were real iron cavalry covered in iron armor, and the horses in the hands of the knights on the iron cavalry stood densely in the air.

When this iron wall rolled over to the defenders' formation, the latter collapsed before they even touched it, running wildly while yelling. Where the "iron wall" passed, only death and blood remained...

After the Han army captured Pingyu City, they continued to sweep around Runan.For the remaining cities in Runan, each city has an average of only a thousand defenders, and Yuan Shu is reluctant to part with the crops, population, and land in the fields waiting to be harvested.So he didn't shrink his defenses, and he couldn't bear to give up a city.

This led to the remaining cities in Runan, either being breached as easily as Xincai, or surrendering without a fight.In just over a month, the Han army led by Feng Yu swept across the entire territory of Runan like a broken bamboo, and the former army had entered Jiujiang County.

……

Yuzhang County, Nanchang City.The corpses of soldiers were all over the city and the streets, and the shouts of killing gradually subsided.In the mansion, Sun Ce, who was covered in blood, swung the epee in his hand and slashed down fiercely. With the sound of the knife cutting through flesh and blood, Sun Ce chopped off the head of a corpse with his own hands.

Sun Ce grabbed the head, looked at it a few times, laughed and said, "You're done!" Then he threw the head to the guards beside him, and said, "Go, nitrate this melted head with lime. It is passed on to the court of Wandu to receive the merit!"

Then, he wiped the big sword clean with Ruo Rong's clothes, and said to himself: "Yuan Shu, it's your turn." Then he ordered the soldiers: "Pass my military order and call all the generals to the mansion hall Discuss the matter and discuss the strategy of attacking Huainan!"

……

In Shouchun City, Yuan Shu leaned on the dragon couch with a sad face.In the past two months, he has not received any good news.At this time, Feng Yu has captured the entire Runan.Although the [-] troops who went to conquer Xuzhou won consecutive battles, they were still unable to win a decisive victory.

So far, there are still three or four cities in the north of Xuzhou that have not been captured, and one or two cities in the south have been lost and lost, and the lost and recovered cities have been repeatedly seen several times.Moreover, although the Xuzhou Army suffered huge losses, it has not wiped out its main force.Has been doing effective resistance to Yuan Shu's army.

"Report!..." Hearing this voice, Yuan Shu was startled.He was already terrified of this natural voice, because as soon as this voice sounded, there must be some bad news.

Before the guard who came to report could open his mouth, he frowned and said, "Don't yell in the future, write something in a letter and submit it."

Seeing that the other party was stunned, Yuan Shu said angrily, "You should tell me about this now!"

Only then did the guard come to his senses, and he promised, "No! Please tell me, the vanguard of the Feng Yu Division of the Han Army has entered Jiujiang from Runan! The traitor Sun Ce's [-] troops have landed in Lujiang!"

Yuan Shu's heart twitched after hearing these words.After staying for a while, he ordered: "Go, quickly call the group of ministers to the court meeting in the main hall to discuss countermeasures!"

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.Beyond the hundreds of battles around the city, there were endless Yuan Jun camps, encircling the entire Pengcheng.

At the head of the city, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei looked down at the city with haggard faces, observing the enemy's situation.The garrison soldiers at the top of the city looked exhausted, covered in blood and wounds.Many seriously injured soldiers still insisted on staying at the top of the city after simple treatment and bandaging, which shows how tense the troops in the city are.

After many days of Yuan Jun's catapult bombardment, the city wall has produced fine cracks.Fortunately, these trebuchets are not heavy counterweight trebuchets like Feng Yu, but are launched by manpower, not ordinary trebuchets used to destroy city walls.Otherwise, the walls of Pengcheng would have collapsed long ago.

From below the city came the dense and loud sound of drums and horns.Liu Guanzhang and the others frowned slightly, knowing that Yuan Jun was about to launch a new round of attack.

Sure enough, Yuan Jun's trebuchets began to throw stones at the top of the city again, and the crossbowmen also shot at the top of the city.Nearly ten large building vehicles approached the city wall, and a large number of Yuan Jun soldiers carrying ladders rushed down the city like a tide.

"Attention all ministries, when the bandit army is not approaching, do not shoot arrows, throw rolling wood and rocks, and save these defense materials." Liu Bei shouted hoarsely.

The ladders were erected densely along the city wall, and the building carts also leaned up.Endless Yuan Jun soldiers braved arrows, rolled trees and beat stones, endured huge casualties and rushed to the top of the city, and once again fought with the defenders into a group.

Guan Yu dragged the big knife in his hand, and ran along the corridor at the top of the city. The big blade splashed a stream of sparks on the bluestone strip.Every time he encountered Yuan Jun soldiers who climbed to the top of the city, he would slash away with a single knife, beheading the opponent's head or cutting him in two.

Zhang Fei rushed to a building car that was close to the city wall and put down the springboard. He raised his spear and together with the defenders, sealed the exit of the building car. The spear in his hand shot seven or eight times in an instant.

Although the defenders are brave, the attacking forces seem to be endless, and the offensive continues continuously.

At this time in Pengcheng City, the sound of head killings shook the sky, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly, and the flesh and blood of severed limbs flew everywhere.The two sides are already red-eyed.

Chapter 150 Breaking the Siege of Pengcheng

A drizzle of rain fell from the sky.At the head of Pengcheng City, the corpses of soldiers from both sides, the attackers and defenders, can be seen everywhere.As the number of soldiers defending the city decreased, more and more Yuan Jun soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the city.

Under the city, in Yuan Jun's camp, a large number of soldiers continued to pour out, wave after wave, rushing towards the city.Pengcheng is already in danger, and the fall seems to have happened in an instant.

A soldier defending the army used his last strength to insert the spear in his hand into the back of the neck of a certain Yuan Jun who ascended the city, but another Yuan Jun soldier chopped off his head.With a whoosh, Guan Yu's broadsword struck and slashed half of his head.

Guan Yu stood on the top of the city with a horizontal sword, narrowed his Danfeng eyes slightly, and glanced around with his stern eyes.There were only two city defenders holding trembling swords beside them, surrounded by six or seven Yuan Jun soldiers, eager to try with knives and guns, but they were afraid of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu yelled loudly and became violent again.With the momentum of thunder, he quickly flew the sword, drawing an obvious arc in the air.Where the light of the knife passed, the head and body fell to the ground, and when the knife finally stopped, it was like a shovel before, cutting another person's throat.Instantly beheaded four people.

The other two defenders took advantage of the momentum and stepped forward quickly, and also killed two Yuan soldiers.The last surviving soldier of Yuan Jun was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and accidentally slipped from the broken battlements and fell to the bottom of the city.

But on another section of the city wall, there are more than a dozen Yuan Jun soldiers who are about to climb to the top of the city from the ladder...

On the other side, Zhang Fei, who was covered in blood, shook vigorously, shaking off the corpse at the snake spear.Seeing that the building car in front of him had been ignited by kerosene and firewood, he took a dozen remaining soldiers around him and rushed to the next Yuan Jun's building car.

Liu Bei, who was standing on the towers and pavilions to supervise the battle, had a serious expression on his face. He knew that Pengcheng would not be able to hold on for long if this continued.He drew out his double-pronged sword with a clang, and shouted: "Follow me to kill!" He led dozens of soldiers around him and rushed to the top of the city below the pavilion, intending to make a final fight.

At this extremely critical moment, under Pengcheng City, dust rose from the rear of Yuan Jun's barracks.The soldiers of Yuan Jun who rushed towards Pengcheng one after another also stopped.And there was a faint cry of killing, Liu Bei was overjoyed, guessing that there must be reinforcements coming...

At this very moment, Lu Bu was leading his two thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry into Yuan Jun's camp.In the gap between camps and camps, rampage, blocking east and west.

The red rabbit and horse flew with all four hooves, as if riding against the wind, and the halberd in Lu Bu's hand danced like flowing clouds and flowing water, making a whirring sound of piercing through the air.From time to time, there was a sound of chopping flesh and blood.

A general of the Yuan Army led a hundred horses and rushed straight at Lu Bu, piercing the chest of the red rabbit horse with a spear in his hand. This man knew that he was not Lu Bu's opponent, so he attacked the opponent's horse.

At this time, Lu Bu's halberd had just killed one person, and it was not yet time to take it back.Seeing that General Yuan Jun was about to succeed, Chitu Ma neighed neighingly, leaped half a battle high, and jumped over the opponent's spear.

At this moment, Lu Bu's halberd had already been withdrawn, and it swept away, hitting the head of General Yuan Jun, knocking his helmet away, splitting his head horizontally, and splashing blood from his brain.

At the same time, the Bingzhou wolf riders behind Lu Bu had rushed forward, stabbing with their horses and chopping their sabers.The hundred Yuan Jun cavalry who came to intercept were wiped out in an instant.

A Yuan Jun soldier who fell off his horse but was lucky enough to be uninjured, ran back in a daze, but was knocked down by the chasing wolf horse. The iron hoof stepped on his back, and suddenly his whole back collapsed, and his heart burst out. The blood arrows are several feet high.

"Dang Dang Dang", Yuan Jun sounded the sound of gongs.Yuan Jun, who was attacking the city, receded like a tide.

Yuan Jun's soldiers who were still at the top of the city panicked and tried to escape.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took this opportunity to lead the defenders at the top of the city to counterattack quickly, beheading them all.Liu Bei immediately issued an order: "Pass on our military order, and the Baier camp will follow me out of the city to make an assault and receive reinforcements!"

Accompanied by the sound of war drums, the gate of Pengcheng suddenly opened.Liu Guanzhang and the others led the eight hundred white-er battalion elites out of Pengcheng and charged towards Yuan Jun who was retreating.Finally, Liu Bei met Lu Bu who passed through Yuan Jun's camp.
