I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 252 It’s Master Wang!

The burning stone cannon hit the gap in the city wall. After smashing down a large piece of debris, it changed its trajectory and tilted a bit, but when it hit it, it also hit the crowd.

A Wu Army soldier was hit in the head on the spot.

His head exploded like a ripe watermelon. At that moment, the brain was scorched and blackened by the high temperature, like a ball of cinders flying in the air.

The broken head shot into the eyes of the person next to him, and the eyeballs exploded.

The burning stone cannon still maintained its impact, knocking down five or six people.

All this happened so fast that no one could react. Dozens of identical fireballs appeared in the sky instantly.

Like the eyes of death, looking down at all living beings.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of burning stone cannons hit the crowded place in the gap.

Boom boom boom...

It was like hitting the soft soil, plowing all the way down, splashing a lot of blood, and plowing out a blurry blood mark.

The armor twisted, and the flesh and blood shattered.

Screams were heard everywhere.

Many people died, and some had their legs broken and struggled desperately among the dead.

"Help me quickly..."

While the team was still stunned, more than thirty pellets flew into the air again.

At this time, everyone's faces showed panic and despair.

Many people turned around and ran away. The crowd was instantly confused. Many people were pushed and pushed, and many people fell to the ground.

There were more than thirty pellets, some hit the city wall, a few went over the wall, and a dozen or so hit the gap.

When Wu Jun on the city wall saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and some were so frightened that they ran away.

Pan Zhu and Gan Chang were also dumbfounded.

"Run!"

The entire team was in chaos, and the crowd was rolling and crawling.

Seeing that the Wu army collapsed at the gap, Li Heng ordered to stop the attack.

It was smoother than expected, and even the goose cart was not needed to fill the river.

Li Heng said: "Build the bridge!"

His order was conveyed quickly, and the engineer battalion advanced to the moat without any resistance and began to lay the pontoon bridge.

The moat of Jiangling City is about 20 to 30 meters wide. With this width, it is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge.

A large number of engineers who were familiar with water properties jumped into the river and began to work in the water.

There are still Wu troops who have not retreated on the top of the city. They are too scared to fire arrows for fear of exposing their position.

Pan Zhu and Gan Chang, who fled in panic, led the guards and hurriedly fled to the north gate. They were told that the outside of the north gate had been blocked.

Then he fled towards the east gate.

Many people fled toward the east gate. Later, they were told that the outside of the east gate was also blocked.

When they fled towards the west gate, they were told that there was no way outside the west gate.

By noon the pontoon bridge was paved.

The Han army began to cross the river.

The first group of forwards to cross the river were wearing iron armor and were led by Luo Xian as the forwards. They entered through the gap, where there was no resistance.

Wu Jun's corpses and burnt flesh and blood were everywhere on the ground.

The stone cannon was in the pile of corpses. The cloth on it had been burned and the surface of the stone was black.

Luo Xian glanced around and saw that there were still a few Wu troops at the top of the city.

"Surrender without killing!"

The man above hesitated for a moment, then immediately threw down his weapon, raised his hand, and walked down.

Luo Xian picked a commander and asked, "How many Wu troops are there?"

"I'm just a commander, we are all here to garrison under orders."

Luo Xian didn't ask any more questions and led the people towards the city.

After walking for some distance, a bow and arrow suddenly shot from in front.

The Han army immediately raised their shields to block.

"Array up!"

After Luo Xian gave the order, the Han army began to form formation in an orderly manner. This is the first time this Han army has actually faced the enemy on the battlefield. They were all on the training ground before, so some people are inevitably a little nervous.

But they all have full confidence. Each one of them wears infantry armor weighing sixty kilograms, and is equipped from their hair to their feet.

Just like an iron man.

Seeing that the opponent was not coming to kill him, Luo Xian put down his shield and glanced ahead, saying, "Follow me!"

They held knives and walked forward.

Wu Jun also rushed over with a spear in hand.

The two sides immediately started fighting in the street.

In narrow streets, the numerical advantage is not reflected, but in close combat, the equipment advantage is immediately reflected.

Although they lacked fighting skills, the Wu troops defending the city were not elite. After a few rounds, the Han army repelled these Wu troops.

The Han troops behind them came up one after another and began to walk quickly towards the streets of the city.

The people in the city were so frightened that they hid in their homes, closed their doors, and shivered.

Especially when hearing footsteps outside, children will cry in fright, and parents have to cover their children's mouths.

The whole city was extremely nervous.

There were still some people crowding at the east, west and north city gates. The city gates there had been opened and people hurried out, but what they saw was the Han army arrayed neatly.

"We are waiting here under the orders of the general. No one is allowed to leave!"

"Please return to the city immediately!"

"The general has an order that all those who surrender will be pardoned, and anyone who dares to oppress the people will be dealt with according to military law!"

A loud voice resounded at the city gate.

The crowd at the back was still moving forward anxiously, while the crowd at the front was already moving back happily. The gate of the city fell into a mixture of joy and sorrow for a while.

When Wu Jun at the top of the city heard this, he hurriedly threw his weapons down the city.

As batch after batch of Han troops entered the city, sporadic resistance in the city was suppressed.

Generally speaking, the great chaos gradually subsided.

Moreover, as the Han army came in, some thugs who took advantage of the chaos to rob were controlled by the Han army, which in turn accelerated the restoration of order.

The people originally thought that the Han army was ruthless and would kill people everywhere when they came.

As a result, looking at it now, not only did he not kill anyone, but he also helped punish the evil, I didn't know what to say for a while.

This incident also further illustrates that public opinion in ancient times was controlled by local scholars. They said that the enemy would massacre the city, and of course the people believed that the enemy would massacre the city.

Later, Lu Zhi led people in. He personally inspected some places. After finally confirming that all Wu Jun's resistance had been quelled, he left the city to report.

"General, everything has been reorganized. Our army has controlled every street."

"Where is the city guard?"

"Already captured."

Lu Zhi turned around and shouted: "Bring it up."

Pan Zhu and Ganchang were brought up.

Lu Zhi said: "The great general of the Han Dynasty is here. Please introduce yourselves."

"Pan Zhu, please see the general."

"I'm in Ganchang, see the general."

Li Heng looked at Pan Zhu in surprise and said, "Are you Pan Jun's son?"

"Father Chengming!" Pan Zhu was a little scared, but he still said it.

Because Pan Jun was Liu Bei's man, when Guan Yu was still there, Pan Jun was engaged in the political affairs of Jingzhou, and his relationship with Guan Yu was very bad.

After Sun Quan made a surprise attack on Jingzhou, Mi Fang surrendered, followed by Pan Jun.

That is, at the beginning of this year, Pan Jun passed away.

Pan Jun was very much used by Sun Quan in Wu State because he was a very talented person.

"Where's your father?"

"My father passed away in the first month of this year."

"Oh, I thought he went north to Jiangxia with Lu Boyan." Li Heng asked one after another, "How many troops did Zhuge Ziyu bring?"
