Chapter 422 A Tragic War, Sun Quan Was Terrified

This time, even more Shu troops joined the battle. Zhang Bao took the lead, charging ahead and being the first to scale the city wall.

He thrust out his eighteen-foot spear, piercing through a Jiangdong soldier. Then, he pulled out the spear, turned around, and swept across the battlefield, directly cleaving two soldiers away.

The remaining Shu soldiers also rushed up the city wall.

On the city wall, the Jiangdong defenders suffered repeated defeats and were unable to stop the Shu army.

Finally, in a fierce offensive, the Shu soldiers broke through the city wall's defenses, rushed into the city, and engaged in street fighting with the defenders.

The fighting became even more brutal, with every street and every corner turning into a battlefield of life and death.

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared below the horizon, the battle finally came to an end.

The banners of the Shu army fluttered on the city walls of Yuzhang County, but the price of this victory was heavy.

The entire city was already soaked in blood, with countless corpses piled up at the foot of the city walls, and limbs and pieces of flesh scattered all over the land.

"Do any of you ministers have any good ideas?" Sun Quan asked.

The people looked at each other, speechless.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we must now seek help from Cao Cao!"
