At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Page 403

Zhu Zhi was shocked: "Wei's army went deep alone, there can't be too many people! If there are too many, how can we not be discovered? This is absolutely impossible!"

But the fact is that, not long after, someone came to report that the east gate was also captured by the Wei army, and the south gate was breached early in the morning, and now only one of the four gates, the north gate, is still in contention.

"It's broken, this time it's really broken!"

Zhu Zhi fell into a panic, and the team that was still advancing also stopped.

Mrs. Wu stepped forward immediately.

"General Zhu, what's wrong?"

"Madame..."

Zhu Zhi said with a panicked expression: "The big thing is not right. There is a problem with the number of this Wei army. They are besieging the city on all sides. All three city gates have been breached, and only the north gate is still in contention!"

"Siege the city on all sides?"

Mrs. Wu has never fought a war, but at least she knows what it means to besieged a city on all sides.

The siege on all sides meant that Wu County was completely surrounded, and their way out was cut off. Even if they were lucky enough to get out of the city, they would have to face another group of Wei troops, and they would have to go through field battles before they could escape.

Chapter 726. 730 Five staunch Mrs. Wu

Fighting a field battle with Wei Jun on the plain?

Thinking of this option, Zhu Zhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He knew exactly what happened to Sun Ce.

He doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes at all.

But in the current situation, he...

Gritting his teeth, looking at Mrs. Wu with a serious face, Zhu Zhi said: "Mrs. Tai, please Mrs. Tai follow our army. Even if Zhu Zhi risked his life, he would escort Mrs. Tai out of Wu County!"

As Zhu Zhi said, he was about to rush forward, Madam Wu hurriedly asked: "General Zhu, how do you plan to go?"

"We can only go through the north gate. Before the north gate is completely fallen, we can go straight out. Madam Tai, please follow closely!"

Zhu Zhi made up his mind, took his own soldiers all the way to the north gate, desperately protecting Mrs. Wu and Sun's relatives, and rushed all the way without stopping. Anyone who stood in the way would be killed, so as to speed up advance pace.

Even so, Wei Jun's footsteps approached step by step.

Soon, some soldiers came to report that a Wei army seemed to be following them and was chasing them, and the people behind the palace had already fought that Wei army, and the situation was very bad.

"Take another group of people to block it, and stop Wei Jun no matter what! Don't let them rush over! We are protecting almost all the relatives of the general, so we must not lose anything!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately took the order, and Zhu Zhi continued to lead his troops forward, opening the way in front, and soon, they killed close to the north gate.

But at this moment, the north gate has been knocked open by the soldiers of the Wei army with rams. A large number of Wu troops were killed in battle, and the only ones left were fleeing. The Wei army was quickly taking control of the north gate.

Zhu Zhi didn't like it, so he immediately swung his knife and took his own soldiers to kill him, and fought bloody with the Wei soldiers who were occupying the north gate.

This Wu army is very elite, but this Wei army is not inelite. Once touched, it entered a fierce battle.

"Kill me!"

Zhu Zhi's eyes were shattered, he shouted loudly, and led his troops forward desperately.

And the Wei army did not show any weakness, maintaining the army formation with red eyes and desperately counterattacking, the spearmen stabbed desperately with their spears upright, and the sword and shield hand slashed desperately with the ring-sword, desperately resisting the assault of this Wu army.

It was difficult to tell the winner for a while, the two armies fought each other, the corpses gradually piled up, and the battlefield was full of bloody breath.

At this time, Tai Shici led his army to kill him.

He wiped out Zhu Zhi's rear troops, and broke a bloody path. According to the information he received, Zhu Zhi's troops came after him.

He knew that Zhu Zhi was protecting Sun's relatives and fleeing all the way north, how could he let these people go?

Without further ado, Tai Shici personally led his men in pursuit, broke through three defense lines of the Wu army in a row, caught up with Zhu Zhi's rear troops, and immediately formed a two-sided attack under the north gate.

Madam Wu was in a hurry when suddenly Tai Shici killed them and attacked the end of their escape team. The Wu army in charge of guarding the rear rushed to fight, and those who were beaten by the Wei army led by Tai Shici were turned on their backs.

Wei Jun directly threatened the rear of the fleeing team, threatened the relatives of the Sun family and other high-ranking Wu officials, and immediately caused a strong panic among them, screaming in horror, and pushing forward one after another. The fleeing team was still somewhat organized just now It suddenly became chaotic.

This frightened Zhu Zhi, who was still fighting ahead.

He was flanked back and forth!

Damn!

Zhu Zhi immediately retreated from the front line and found Mrs. Wu who was trying her best to appease the crowd and let the Sun's sons around him take up weapons to fight back against the enemy.

"Mrs. Tai! Please follow me immediately! I will protect Mrs. Tai and fight out!"

"What about the others here?"

Madam Wu frowned.

"It's too late to think about it. Mrs. Tai is the most important thing. As long as Mrs. Tai is still there, the country of Wu can still be maintained! Mr. Wu and Governor Zhou can continue to maintain the country of Wu! Please Mrs. Tai put Wu as the most important thing!"

"I'm old! It's useless! If you let a young child die, what if you keep me an old woman!"

Mrs. Wu showed a sad look on her face: "Since the people of Wei are chasing us so hard, they must be coming for me, so let me deal with Wei Jun! General Zhu! You have to protect the children and leave here together! As long as the children If you are still here, there is still hope for Wu! Let's go!"

"No! Ma'am! How can I do this?!"

Zhu Zhi was very anxious.

"This is my order! If you are still a subject of the Sun family, you must obey the order!"

Mrs. Wu shouted decisively, leaving Zhu Zhi speechless.

"Take the children and get out of here immediately! I'm here to serve as the queen for General Zhu!"

Mrs. Wu pushed the two children, a boy and a girl, into Zhu Zhi's arms: "General Zhu, the blood of the Sun family is entrusted to General Zhu!"

"Mrs. too!"

Zhu Zhi shouted.

But Mrs. Wu ignored him, but quickly searched for the crying children and handed them to Zhu Zhi one by one.

"If Mrs. Tai doesn't leave, I won't leave!"

Zhu Zhi was very sad and indignant.

"If you don't leave, I'll die right here!"

Mrs. Wu picked up a ring-headed knife from the ground and put it across her neck, staring at Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi was shocked.

"Mrs. too! No!"

"Come on!"

Mrs. Wu's face was cold, without the slightest hesitation, as if she really wanted to spill blood on the spot in the next second.

Zhu Zhi bit his lip so hard that it oozes blood, and then knelt down on the ground.

"The last will live up to the mission!"

"Come on!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Zhi called his own soldiers, and each of them carried a child and followed him to the north gate.

This time it was really desperate, Zhu Zhi was at the front with a spear, pierced the chests of two Wei soldiers in a row, and rushed out against them, and the soldiers around him rushed out together.

For a while, Wei Jun at the city gate really couldn't stop his charge, and he forced a gap.

Seeing that he had killed a bloody road, Zhu Zhi was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately rushed out of Wuxian County with a group of children on his shoulders, shouting and crazily, with a greatly reduced number of his own soldiers.

Wei Jun immediately sent people to pursue him.

However, the main force of the Wei army was still placed in the city, besieging other members of the relatives' team, and harvesting the lives of the rest of the Wu army soldiers. The battle situation was still very tragic.

Mrs. Wu encouraged the members of the Sun clan to fight with swords, which did not insult the prestige of the Sun clan, but there were not many members of the Sun clan who really dared to fight with swords.

Tai Shici led the army to kill a large number of Wu soldiers, whose corpses were almost piled up into a hill, and finally annihilated the Wu army blocking the way.

At this moment, the enemies Tai Shici was facing were the family members of the high-ranking officials and generals of the Wu Kingdom.

Their way of retreat was cut off, and their way of going forward was as if there was no way out. A group of men and women kept crying, and occasionally a few tougher ones came to fight with knives, but were directly killed by Tai Shici.

The rest had nothing to do but cry and kneel and beg for mercy.

The Wei army quickly encircled them, passed over the corpses of the Wu army soldiers, and surrounded these relatives together.

Almost everyone knelt down because of timidity and fear, begging for mercy, and crying, but only one person wore a helmet and held a ring-headed knife, and he was determined not to kneel.

Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a man, because he doesn't have a beard, and his face is a bit old, he doesn't look like a young man.

"They are all kneeling, why don't you kneel?"

"Who are you? How can you make the old man kneel down?"

As soon as the voice came out, it turned out to be a woman's voice, and Tai Shici and Wei Jun soldiers were very surprised.

"you……"

"Lao Shen is the person you are looking for, the wife of Yuzhou Mu Sun Jian, the first Wu Gong Sun Ce and the current Wu Gong Sun Quan's mother!"

Madam Wu didn't have the slightest timidity when facing the surrounding Wei soldiers.

The soldiers of the Wei army who surrounded her showed expressions of astonishment, and Tai Shici was no exception, his face was full of astonishment.

Sun Jian's wife?The mother of Sun Ce and Sun Quan?How could she be so brave?

Seeing Mrs. Wu standing with a knife in the face of the heavy siege of the Wei army without showing any panic, Tai Shici seemed to see his mother in a daze.

Because they were too surprised, the soldiers of the Wei army did not dare to step forward, so there was a little silence on the battlefield.

Tai Shici was not too surprised, he still knew his mission and knew how to be polite.

So he put down the knife and saluted Mrs. Wu.

"Taishi Ciziyi, the general of Wei State Louchuan, has seen the old lady. Ci has never seen the bravery of the old lady. Therefore, Ci does not want to be rough on the old lady, and I ask the old lady not to resist."

Tai Shici signaled the soldiers around him to go forward and arrest Mrs. Wu.

That's the big game.

Lady Wu, wife of Sun Jian, mother of Sun Ce and Sun Quan.

With her in hand, are you afraid that Sun Quan will catch her without a fight?

Tai Shici thought very well.

But it seems Mrs. Wu doesn't think so.

"Wait a moment!"

Mrs. Wu said: "Taishi Ziyi, I would like to know how you came to Wu County and how many people are there? Are my Zhongmou and Zhou Dudu all right?"

Tai Shici felt that the overall situation was settled, so it would be no harm to tell her these questions.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei built a naval force and handed it over to my subordinates. We passed through the sea and landed in Wu County directly from the east of Wu County. We did not encounter any resistance from the army. Come to attack Wu County, the number of people is about [-]."

"Twenty thousand? Landing from the open sea? You...that is to say, Zhongmou and Zhou Dudu are still along the river?"

"Yes, our army is divided into two groups, one is to attack from the riverside, attracting the main force of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and the other is to attack from the sea, to catch them by surprise!"

Tai Shici was quite proud, and said: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang started to build a navy four years ago in order to conquer Jiangdong, and it has not been used until now. We and other naval officers and soldiers are also looking forward to making contributions and rewarding His Highness Wei Wang. Thanks to your kindness, now I am waiting to capture Wu County and come to visit the old lady, this merit is enough."

"It turned out to be like this, from the sea..."

Mrs. Wu showed a sad look on her face: "Gongjin is diligent and diligent. She worries about the country of Wu day and night. She has calculated everything and prepared everything, but she can't figure out this matter. Zhongmou and Gongjin, what is it? Lost, lost..."

Mrs. Wu shook her head again and again.

"Yes, old lady, the death of Wu is a foregone conclusion. If we continue to struggle, it will only increase the casualties, which is meaningless."

Tai Shici said: "Back when Sun Bofu went northward for no reason to attack His Royal Highness the King of Wei, when he used swords without the emperor's edict, he had already planted disasters for today's defeat. The defeat of Wu today is a matter of course. His Royal Highness will sweep away the world and unify our Hanzhou County, just around the corner.

At this moment, the most important thing for the old lady to do is to surrender, and go to Moling with our army, persuade Sun Zhongmou and Zhou Gongjin to surrender, stop unnecessary resistance, and avoid too much damage to the army and civilians. His Royal Highness Wei Wang is kind and will never harm Innocent people, in this way, the Sun family can be preserved. "

"Then is my son Zhongmou an innocent person? Is the governor Zhou Gongjin also an innocent person? Will His Royal Highness King Wei hurt them?"
