Overnight, Fancheng became a mess.
The 60,000 to 70,000 defenders of Jingzhou fought each other for the escape boats, and in the end only 5,000 to 6,000 people escaped.
Originally, if they had followed the method of Huang Zu and Pang Shanmin, they could have retained nearly half of the troops.
The reason why it caused such a big impact was more because the morale of the soldiers in Jingzhou collapsed.
The soldiers who escaped never brought the boats back, which turned the boats that were originally used to transport soldiers back and forth into disposable means of transportation.
Even the Jingzhou soldiers who escaped to the other side of the river did not return to Xiangyang, but slipped away at night and disappeared.
襄阳
Kuai Liang was woken up early in the morning. He had been busy until very late last night and had spent a lot of energy to appease the gentry in Xiangyang City.
He felt like he had only slept for an hour or two.
"What happened?"
Kuai Liang looked at Kuai Yue who came hurriedly and asked with some displeasure.
"Something serious has happened."
"Liu Bei fled with his men. We don't know where they went."
"Before leaving, this fellow spread rumors of a naval attack in Fancheng. The soldiers in Fancheng mutinied, General Huang Zu was killed, the people of Pangshan disappeared, and the soldiers attacked each other and seized the boats."
"I sent someone to investigate this morning, and they said there are still over 30,000 soldiers trapped in Fancheng."
Kuai Yue looked extremely panicked. The situation before him had evolved to a point where no one could control it.
No one knew what was happening to the more than 30,000 soldiers in the city, and the people sent to investigate did not even dare to go ashore.
The soldiers who escaped never returned to Xiangyang.
It can be said that there are currently only more than 3,000 defenders in Xiangyang City to maintain public order.
They did not dare to rescue the 30,000 people in Fancheng.
At this time, the trapped soldiers were like wild beasts that would prey on anyone they saw. As long as a ship passed by, they would pounce on it.
How to save?
In the past, I was afraid that I would get involved too.
"Liu Bei!"
"Ah, a man!"
"I told you long ago that this thief is harming the master, but Liu Jingsheng just doesn't believe it!"
Kuai Liang's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
"What should we do now?"
Kuai Yue looked at Kuai Liang with concern, hoping that the other party could come up with a countermeasure.
"surrender."
"Surrender to Dong Jun."
Kuai Liang spoke without hesitation.
"what!"
"Then...the King of Chu!"
Kuai Yue looked at his brother in disbelief.
"Idiot, why are you still concerned about the King of Chu?"
"While Xiangyang still has some value, I can protect myself by joining the Dong army."
"If we wait for them to come and take it in person, what leverage will the Kuai family have?"
"Kuai Yue, I'm telling you, don't do anything from now on. Just stay at home."
"I will take care of Jingzhou's problems. From now on, the Kuai family will rely on you."
"Liu Bei, you have such a dark heart!"
Kuai Liang cursed, got up from the bed, put on his robe, reminded Kuai Yue, and ran out quickly regardless of the drizzle outside.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
Kuai Yue hurried to the door and asked loudly.
"I killed Liu Biao to pave the way for you!"
Kuai Liang's eyes were fierce, and he decided to sacrifice himself to save Kuai Yue.
Even if the Kuai family is no longer as powerful as it used to be, it will not collapse completely.
Killing Liu Biao was his token of loyalty to the Kuai family.
Killing Liu Biao would inevitably add the infamy of lord-killing to Kuai Liang's head.
All the glory of his life will come to an end today.
puff-
"Brother!"
Kuai Yue's knees went weak and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to his brother who was gradually walking away.
...
Fancheng
The city was flooded with blood, and even a night of heavy rain could not wash away the blood on the ground.
Corpses were scattered all over the ground, and countless bodies lay on the river bank.
As many as 20,000 to 30,000 people died in that one night.
The remaining 30,000 people were all exhausted and waiting for death.
"No, I don't want to die."
"Brothers, hurry up and open the city gates. The water attack will stop."
"Why are we killing each other?"
"Just open the city gate!"
Some clever ones came to their senses and immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
"correct."
"Hurry up!"
"Hurry up and open the gates of Fancheng, let the enemy enter the city, and we will survive."
Everyone felt enlightened. What were they fighting for all night?
