Chapter 853: Overwhelming (part 4). [919]



Summary

The collapse of the grand building shocked many during a critical period in the Wu Dynasty's eleventh year of Wu Jian Shuo. The battle in Jiangning intensified as defending troops in Xiangfan struggled against Wan Yan Zong Han's forces. Despite facing defeats, the Wu Dynasty maintained strength through a robust economic system and continuous soldier influx. However, internal contradictions emerged, with influential figures increasingly connected to the Jurchens. The battle in Zhenjiang became a fierce clash of strengths, marked by espionage and strategic maneuvers. On April 19, preparations for the siege began, with Xi Yin sowing discord among defenders. A full-scale assault commenced on April 22, leading to chaos within the city. A rebellion by a young general on April 25 allowed Jurchen forces to breach Zhenjiang's defenses, resulting in flames and destruction. Jun Wu led a desperate counterattack, attempting to organize an evacuation for citizens. Despite the overwhelming odds, the defenders fought fiercely, but the city ultimately fell to the Jurchens, marking a critical point in the ongoing conflict.
