Chapter seven hundred and seventy-eight of the noisy city
On the city wall, looking at the city from afar, shrill screams came with the wind. Zhu Huan looked at the battlements in shock, and occasionally fired in the courtyard of the house. When the black smoke rolled into the sky, a soldier came up from below to report the news in the city, informing him that it was the lord Zhuge Jin, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao's young and powerful family came to the city to assist in defense.
"Lord... is a loss of reason... destroying the city walls by oneself."
The soldier murmured: "I heard that the lord is drunk..."
Soon, Sun Ce and Taishi Ci came with more than 20,000 troops and prepared to start siege.
Far away, teams of soldiers spread by the streets in the city, scaring the passing pedestrians to look at it quickly and quickly disappeared into a street and alley. Soon after, the sound of booming footsteps stopped in front of a mansion. Before the guards on both sides of the mansion were asked, the guards were pressed to the ground by several soldiers and tied up.
The gate of the courtyard was kicked open with a bang.
With swords and swords, the crowd of people rushed in. The courtyard full of flowers and birds singing was broken by sudden movements. Someone from the guard house came forward to question: "This is the residence of the Zhonglang, who is your subordinate...." Before he finished speaking, a long spear penetrated the man's body and pulled it out. The body fell down with bloodlines. The bright red liquid soaked the ground. The guard house was surrounded by guards. The maid and the maid took a step back in fear, and even turned around and ran towards the backyard, causing riots.
A moment later, Yan Qi brought his wife and children to come over with several personal guards, looking at the blood-stained and twitching corpses of the household servants on the ground, and stared at a lieutenant colonel officer who led the team: "You are smashing the door and entering the hospital, but you have no words to kill someone first. What's the point?"
The lieutenant opened a simple silk letter and explained his purpose, "If you are in the military order, please don't let the generals do it hard. Send the young and strong family to the city wall to help the lord resist the invading enemy! If you don't follow, don't blame the generals and others for their actions."
"How dare you! It's not too late to decide if you have met your lord in person."
"This is the lord's order!" The captain bowed his hand, took a step back, and waved his hand suddenly: "Catch people! The rebels will kill them on the spot!"
The wind blew across the city, and in the soft sunlight, heart-wrenching crying came. It was not just Yan Yan's mansion. The soldiers who spread across the streets broke open the door one by one. Some people resisted, and almost the whole family was killed and obedient. All men over ten years old and under fifty were driven to the side of the city wall.
When the chaos spread, there were many swords and weapons on the southwest side. Two figures wearing armor walked up the stone steps and came to the eaves and glanced over the dense crowd. "My father served in the Sun family for three terms. He never was arrogant and helped him with all his heart. However, he was conspiring to die. Now Sun Thief has caused trouble to the families in Jiangdong. If there is such atrocities, how can we still be our lord? You are all my father's old subordinates and are also generous and loyal people. Instead of serving such despicable people, it is better to open the city gate in the chaos and welcome the new emperor into the city, and protect the old and young people in the city!"
In the sound of Huangdian, another figure was Cheng Pu's son. General Cheng Ji stood up with his sword: "Follow me." After that, he drew his sword and walked straight through the crowd. When he opened the mansion gate, he shouted: "Open the city gate and welcome the peace of Jiangdong."
Hundreds of soldiers entered the streets and rushed straight to the west gate. At the same time, resistance everywhere was intensifying. The soldiers of Sun Quan who were killed were running across the street with disheveled hair and screamed in horror: "Huang Bian, Cheng Zi was in chaos and headed towards the west gate."
"The people in the city are not allowed to go out to the streets at will to avoid accidental injury!"
"The enemy troops in the East Gate have siege!!!"
When the blood and the chaos of killing spread, the flames had already soared into the sky, and the black smoke and dust rushed straight into the sky clouds as the killing progressed. In the sudden chaos, the hasty siege battle had begun for a while. Arrows were nailed to the wooden beams of the city tower and spread left and right. Countless arrows fell densely on the city walls, or flew to the surging crowds under the city, splashing blood.
There were still 50,000 troops and more than 10,000 people in Jianye. Faced with an attack that was not high-intensity, the pressure was not too great, especially when the opponent's attack was not sufficient, Zhu Huan was still confident to hold on by relying solely on the number of people. The soldiers nearby rushed towards the most intense section of the offensive. From time to time, arrows fell down, nailed the people to the ground, and the undead were pulled back by his companions. Then more people made up, carried the pounding wood, pushed the rocks down from the walls, and smashed into the sea of people like bees.
Half an hour later, the battle on a certain section of the city wall suddenly became fierce. Zhu Huan led the soldiers to chase over there. The sticky blood on the ground almost made him fall, and his vision moved forward. The soldiers crowded with formations were torn a gap. Several people with flesh and blood all over killed the blockade and pushed them away and rushed towards him.
"Zhu Huan! Give me one last chance!"
The two halberds tore a soldier into two pieces. The tall Taishi Ci shook the edge of the halberd, the blood beads shook open, and he strided in the blood, "Sun Quan is finished, will you surrender or not?"
Not far away, Chen Wu, Han Dang and Han Zong also came to fight here.
Around the surroundings, the enemy kept standing on the city wall, and the corpses of the under his command were spreading. Zhu Huan pushed away the personal soldiers who wanted to protect him, held the sword in the ring and raised them high: "Ah" let out a long roar of sadness, and then... slammed hard on the ground, "I'm surrender!"
The battle gradually subsided, and the city gate opened after a while. Sun Ce took Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to the city on a horse.
In the distant city, flames burned, blood, and broken corpses were still sweeping forward with the killing. The west city gate was caught by the sudden yellow handle. Cheng Zi and his two men led their troops to kill. The moment the city gate opened, they were hovering in Bingzhou, which had been wandering outside the city. Seeing this, the two white wolf cavalry were confused for a moment, but then they rushed in.
The woman wearing the head of Linglong beast, carrying a halberd and rushed into the city gate first. When someone waved his sword to rush towards her, the horse's hair and the bright red cloak spread out. The soldiers of Jiangdong who rushed out dragged out a long bloodline and flew backwards and smashed on the wall of the doorway. The round crescent halberd was crossed and he shouted: "Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, push"
The iron cavalry spread out from both sides of her like a tide, surging into the street.

A scream from afar, a vague scream came, and the drunkenness gradually faded from his mind. Sun Quan was sitting on the desk with a white rainbow sword and woke up a little, but he was still a little confused and indignant. However, heavy footsteps sounded outside alarmed him. Zhou Tai came in from outside with a bloody smell, "Lord, something is wrong."
"Has Gongsun Zhi entered?"
"Yes... there is Huang Bing, Cheng Zi and the others took advantage of the situation to make trouble. They led more than a thousand people to sneak attack the Xicheng Gate, let the cavalry in the north enter the city, and... there is also..."
Sun Quan raised his head and looked at him: "Who else?"
"And... Zhuge Jin, Gu Yong, Zhang Zhao brought the home guards, and the servants also participated. The East Gate Guard Zhu Huan also surrendered." Zhou Tai said here, his head lowered, he took a breath and patted his chest: "But don't worry, lord, with Tai here, he will definitely be able to protect lord from the city. Please leave immediately with the last general."
"Half of Jiangdong is gone, where can I escape?"
Sitting on the desk, he stood up, held the Baihong sword in his hand, and passed Zhou Tai opposite him. He saw more than 500 guards and soldiers gathered outside to break through. After a moment, he said, "Let me go back to the house first, there is one thing that has not been done."
When he walked out of the government office, he exclaimed and screamed, cried and howled, and the sound of fighting became clear. The chaos and fighting in some places gradually stabilized, but the crying continued to sound. After Sun Ce entered the city, he sent troops to curb the chaos and took the opportunity to rob, rape and evil people and killed them on the spot. However, most of the streets he walked past had traces of damage, and several buildings were still burning. The residents and soldiers nearby were helping to put out the fire, and the people pulled out from it had already been charred.
When he came to the door of an official's house who could not name him, the door plaque broke on the stone steps, and there were corpses placed on the roadside, all of which were the officials' family members. Some people who were lucky enough to die sat next to the corpse and cried loudly. A woman cried with her son's body without a sound. The child's head was lonely at the woman's feet and still maintained a look of fear.
Sun Ce only glanced at it and was reluctant to look any further. Cheng Pu behind him, Zhou Yu sighed and sent some soldiers to various parts of the city to clear out the rioters and help the people. Then, cavalrymen came to this side, and Sun Cele ceased to fight his horse, and suddenly had the illusion of frighteningness. He heard the scout say, "Mr. Wu, the government office is empty, and the person who caught said that he went to the mansion, it seems... it seems that Wu's wife and children are there."
The next second, Sun Ce directly rode his horse and shouted: "Lead the way!"
On the street, the sound of horse hooves exploded, and cavalrymen followed behind and ran wildly.

On the other side, Gongsun Zhi brought a group of generals into the city.
