Gan Ning couldn't help but smile when he saw the low morale of Chaisang City's soldiers. He then shouted to his men,"Listen to my order, everyone attack the city!"
"Kill them!"
Amidst a loud and clear battle cry, two thousand soldiers carried siege ladders and charged towards Chaisang City.
"Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows! If they break through the city, you and I will have no way out!”Gao Hong shouted anxiously. His words had some effect, and many soldiers perked up.
The archers in Chaisang City began to shoot arrows at the Jiangxia soldiers. The arrows rained down like rain, and many Jiangxia soldiers fell to the ground.
However, even more people braved the rain of arrows and quickly advanced toward the city. In the blink of an eye, they were less than a hundred meters away from the city wall.
Liu Jue had been staring at Chaisang City. Suddenly, he said to Su Fei,""General Su, tell your soldiers to shout in unison,'We will not kill those who surrender!”
Su Fei instantly understood and immediately ordered his soldiers to take action. For a moment, the words 'Surrender will not be killed' resounded around Chaisang City.
When the defenders of Chaisang City heard these words, the resistance that had just risen began to slowly collapse.
Jiang Xia's army had thousands of soldiers. Although Chaisang City was tall and heavy, looking at the current situation, it was impossible to defend it no matter what.
Rather than giving up his life for nothing, he might as well surrender to the other party. That way, he could still have a way out.
More and more people began to have such thoughts, and the morale of the Chaisang garrison was completely shattered.
"Don't listen to their nonsense. They are lying to you. If Chaisang City is broken, they will never let you go.”Gao Hong shouted in exasperation.
However, when he saw that the morale of the army had fallen apart, he began to regret it. If he had known earlier, he would have opened the city gates and surrendered. Why did he still want to be promoted and get rich?
If he lost his life, could he go to the King of Hell to get promoted and get rich?
At the same time, Gan Ning and his soldiers braved the rain of arrows to get fifty meters away from the city.
Gan Ning had already noticed Gao Hong. He unsheathed his longbow and nocked an arrow. His target was Gao Hong.
Gan Ning's archery wasn't as good as Huang Zhong's, but he could still shoot through the air. The arrow pierced through Gao Hong's neck.
"Uh…"
Gao Hong clutched his neck and widened his eyes in disbelief. His entire body swayed and then he fell down from the city wall.
Bang!
Gao Hong's corpse smashed heavily onto the ground, causing a loud bang. The guards of Chaisang City were all stunned.
Chaisang's defenders had no desire to continue fighting. Now that their general Gao Hong had been killed, they no longer had the desire to resist. The rain of arrows on the city wall also stopped.
Gan Ning didn't care. He led his soldiers to set up a long ladder and quickly reached Chaisang City.
All the defenders of Chaisang City surrendered. No one stood up to resist.
The city gates of Chaisang City were quickly opened. Liu Jue led the army into the city and immediately ordered Su Fei to control the other three gates. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers not to invade the people.
Now that Chaisang City was taken down, only Liling and Pengze were left. Taking down these two cities would not take much effort.
What Liu Jue wanted to know the most was how much grain and supplies there were in Chaisang City.
A moment later, Gan Ning arrived and said to Liu Jue,"Young General, the surrendered soldiers have been disarmed and taken care of. I didn't expect that this Chaisang City only has a little over a thousand soldiers.”
Liu Jue laughed and said," Zhou Yu's 15,000-strong army could be said to be all of Chaisang's wealth. He thought that he could successfully take Wuchang, but who knew that he would lose everything."”
Gan Ning's face lit up with joy."Young General, I received news from the surrendered soldiers that Zhou Yu's family is also in Chaisang City.”
"Family?"
Liu Jue was surprised, but then he remembered someone. It was Zhou Yu's wife, Xiao Qiao, one of the two Qiao brothers of River East.
Anyone who knew the history of the Three Kingdoms would know about the two Qiao brothers of Jiangdong. They were famous beauties in the Three Kingdoms. Liu Jue did not expect to get such a pleasant surprise after taking down Chaisang.
Liu Jue had Gan Ning lead the way, and the group soon arrived at Zhou Yu's residence.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's mansion was surrounded by Liu Jue's soldiers. The gate of the mansion had been pushed open, and the guard was none other than Zhang Sheng.
When Zhang Sheng saw Liu Jue arrive, he immediately went forward and said respectfully,"Young General, I have already taken control of Zhou Yu's family.”
"Bring me there!" Liu Jue did not waste any time. Under Zhang Sheng's lead, they quickly arrived at the main hall of the Zhou Residence.
The main hall of the Zhou Manor was also surrounded by Liu Jue's soldiers. In the middle of the main hall was an old woman, two women, and three children. They had all been frightened to the point that their faces had turned pale.
"Greetings, Young General!" When the soldiers saw Liu Jue arrive, they immediately shouted in unison.
Zhou Yu's family was shocked by this scene. One of the little girls was so frightened that she cried out, but her mouth was immediately covered by an extremely beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman was looking at Liu Jue in horror.
Liu Jue sized up this stunning woman. Her face was smooth and tender, and her eyes were like glass. Her delicate appearance would definitely arouse the desire of any man to protect her.
"Who are you to Zhou Yu?" Liu Jue could not help but ask. His intuition told him that this woman was Xiao Qiao.
"I am Zhou Yu's concubine, Madam Qiao." The stunning woman revealed her identity with a trembling voice. It was Xiao Qiao, one of the two Qiao brothers of River East.
"I've long heard that the two Qiao brothers of River East are extremely beautiful. Now that I've seen them today, they really live up to their reputation!”Liu Jue laughed as he continued to stare at Xiao Qiao.
He did not have any other thoughts at the moment. He was just curious. So this was what Xiao Qiao looked like. She was much prettier than those female celebrities in the future.
On the other hand, Xiao Qiao's pale face was filled with panic when she heard Liu Jue's words. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet Liu Jue's gaze.
Then, Liu Jue asked a few other people. The old woman was Zhou Yu's mother, and the other less beautiful woman was Zhou Yu's first wife, Qin Shi.
As for the three children, they were Zhou Yu's eldest son, Zhou Xun, his second son, Zhou Yin, and his daughter, Concubine Zhou.
