The war once again began. Sun Ce was just about to reveal his smiling face when he saw the scene of slaughter. Sun Ce represented a new life, but unfortunately, it was the beginning of death for Wan Cheng.
"All troops attack!" Sun Ce waved his spear, and the war drums were once again beaten. Under the encirclement of tens of thousands of Sun Cejun's troops, four huge railings slowly moved towards Wan Cheng. The originally tall Wan Cheng became small in front of these railings.
"Liu Mang, seal the city gate, I want to see how you will break my railings!" Sun Ce's face was full of excitement. Railings, these were railings. Sun Ce had read some historical records about the might of railings, but he had never been able to make one. Railings were not siege vehicles, the technology required for siege vehicles was too low. As long as it was a siege vehicle, a giant log, and soldiers would be enough.
Railings were tens of feet high, and this was considered a high-altitude work. If you did not design it well, then a wrong plank could lead to death. The railings would not be able to support the weight of the soldiers. Once it fell, it would not be just one or two people who would die, but thousands of people. Even Sun Ce, a warlord of Jiangdong, could not afford to play this game.
Lu Su, who was recommended by Zhou Yu, actually took out a railing. With this thing, it would be much easier for Sun Cejun to attack the city. Sun Ce had already thought of capturing Wan Cheng and trapping Lü Bu in Lujiang. Then he would immediately send troops to Jiang Xia. With the railings, Jing Province would not be a problem for him. Take Xiangyang city for example. Xiangyang city was much higher than Wan Cheng, and its defense was also very strong. After all, Liu Biao had occupied Jing Province for many years, and Jing Province did not experience many wars. Therefore, Xiangyang city's defense was amazing. Sun Ce had also thought about how to capture Xiangyang.
It would take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers to take down such a strategic town. Only then would they be able to take down Xiangyang.
However, things were different with Jinglan. Liu Biao of Jing Province had many soldiers and horses, but how many valiant generals did he have? Each and every one of them were like clay chickens and pottery dogs. They were not a match for Sun Ce. It would be fine if he did not leave the city. Once he left the city, he would definitely not be able to return. Liu Biao's army could not leave the city, just like how Liu Mang was now. If they could not leave the city, they would naturally not be able to cause any harm to the well wall. Then, there was only one ending for them, and that was to be covered with corpses under the power of the well wall. In the end, they would collapse, open the city, and surrender. What Sun Ce wanted was the results, not the process.
"My lord, please destroy this blood vessel after this battle!" Lu Su bowed towards Sun Ce with dark circles under his eyes. In Lu Su's view, this was a killing machine, a killing machine that completely targeted people. Its appearance was too outrageous. Whether it was the defending side or the attacking side, tens of thousands of casualties were normal. The most terrible thing was that under the rain of arrows, there would be no survivors.
This time, Lu Su had no choice but to take out the well wall to attack Wan Cheng. Sun Cejun could not capture Wan Cheng, so he could only be defeated. Although Lu Su did not like Sun Ce, he could not watch Sun Ce lose, so he took out the well wall.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sun Ce quickly agreed, but Lu Su sighed. He knew that his words were nonsense in Sun Ce's eyes. Sun Ce may destroy the well wall after capturing Wan Cheng, but the method of making the well wall was already learned by Sun Ce. As long as there was wood, there was no place where the well wall could not be made.
Lu Su really regretted his decision. But since he had already done it, there was no point in regretting. He could only take one step at a time. Lu Su had already made up his mind to leave after this expedition. Sun Ce was not a wise master. Sun Ce was not a wise master.
"All troops attack. This time, Wan Cheng will be breached. Three days will be the day when the city is breached!" After two days of siege, Sun Ce also knew that his troops were tired and afraid. Today was the last day. In order to stimulate their fighting spirit and to prevent any accidents, Sun Ce set a big price.
What was the meaning of three days of indulgence? After Wan Cheng was breached, everything in Wan Cheng would be looted. Although Wan Cheng was once under Sun Ce's rule, it was now occupied by Lü Bu. Liu Mang also killed all the nobles in Wan Cheng. Originally, Sun Ce could not rob those nobles.
But now, he did not have so many scruples. Kill them all! Just like last time when Sun Ce breached Wan Cheng, Wan Cheng was massacred from top to bottom. In the end, Wan Cheng slowly recuperated.
What's more, Liu Mang's government still had the wealth of the nobles. Most of the wealth of the city was in the hands of the nobles. When Liu Mang raided the houses of the nobles, Sun Ce raided the government. It was equivalent to borrowing Liu Mang's hand to seize the wealth of the nobles. These ownerless things were not snatched by Sun Ce.
Therefore, if Wan Cheng was destroyed, then so be it. At worst, the people from Jiangdong would be moved here. It just so happened that Sun Ce was troubled by the issue of Shanyue. Moving the Shanyue people to Wan Cheng was not a good thing.
The reason why the Shanyue people fought with the Han people was because of the issue of land. The Han people knew that the land was fertile and dry. They occupied most of the fertile land and gave most of the dry land to the Shanyue people. The Shanyue people did not understand this. They could not see it before the spring planting, but they could see it during the autumn harvest. They worked hard for a year, sweating and working hard. In the end, the Shanyue people would get several times more than the Shanyue people. The Shanyue people could eat and wear warm clothes, but the Shanyue people had to starve and sometimes even starve to death.
Especially after Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, the Han people bred well and the Han people's population increased substantially. This intensified the hatred of the Shanyue people towards the Han people. Originally, there were so many of them who robbed the rice bowl of the Han people. Now that there were so many of them, how could the Han people live?
The Shanyue people attached great importance to the mountains, they revered the mountains and regarded the mountains as their mother god. However, the Han people did not have any concept of mountain gods. They only knew that cutting trees and burning the mountains could open up fertile land. Under the leadership of the nobles, countless Shanyue people were cut down and turned into fertile land that was swallowed by the nobles. The more the nobles ate, the more the Shanyue people's living space became smaller and smaller. Under this situation, the Shanyue people could not stand it. If they did not resist, even their hometown would be destroyed. How could they continue to live? The Shanyue people were very aggressive and had good fighting strength. Originally, Sun Ce was not afraid of the plains. A group of 5000 people was enough to pacify the Shanyue people. However, the Shanyue people were sitting in the mountains. From time to time, they would rebel. When Sun Ce's army arrived, they would immediately escape into the mountains and attack the cities. They were not stupid. If they could not take down the big cities, they would specifically look for the small cities and attack them. Once they attacked, they would plunder, making Sun Ce miserable.
Therefore, the problem that Sun Ce hated the most in Jiangdong was the Shanyue people.
Now that he had slaughtered Wan Cheng, he could move some of the Shanyue people here and solve the dispute.
"Indulge for three days!" Lu Su was even more terrified. This was Wan Cheng, Sun Ce's city. Even if it was occupied by Lü Bu, the people under his rule would not be able to choose.
"Indulge for three days?!" Sun Ce's roar was not only heard by Sun Cejun, but also by the Lvbu's army. Liu Mang was stunned. This Sun Ce was crazy! He wants to massacre the whole city?
Liu Mang dared to kill the Wan Cheng people because those people participated in the tragedy of Wan Cheng. They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil things. That was why they were slaughtered by Liu Mang. But now, Sun Ce only wanted to motivate the people to take down Wan Cheng. He actually wants to massacre the whole city!
"Indulge for three days? General Sun Ce actually said that he will indulge for three days?! " Liu Mang also arranged for the people in Wan Cheng to cook for them. They panicked. General Sun Ce, a very respected figure in their eyes, actually said such words. Without Sun Ce's army, the people of Wan Cheng would not be able to live in peace for so long. They have been expecting General Sun Ce to come back and let them continue to live like men ploughing and women weaving. But today, General Sun Ce actually said such words!
Massacre the whole city! They were afraid. A few days ago, the turmoil had destroyed many families. But that was only the turmoil of the nobles. But now, Sun Ce brought tens of thousands of troops. Once the city was massacred, not even a blade of grass would be left alive!
The people rushed to inform each other. For a time, Wan Cheng was filled with fear!
