Wei Yan aimed the mouth of the pot at Li Dian, who was halfway up the city, and poured it down suddenly. The hot golden juice with a strong stench rippled onto the Wei troops below the city. Li Dian was the first to bear the brunt of the wave and was covered all over his body.
Burning heat spread throughout his body, and Li Dian was suddenly trembling from the hot golden juice. The severe pain caused him to half-raise his fingers into claws, let out a lung-breaking scream, and fell down.
Wei Jun, who was burned underneath, was rolling on the ground in pain. It was so miserable that it made people feel sick.
Wei Yan seized the opportunity and immediately ordered: "Crossbowmen prepare! Fire arrows——!"
"Swish swish!"
Arrows shot like rain towards Wei Jun who was burning and in pain below. The Wei Jun who was tortured by the pain had no chance to defend themselves and they were all shot dead.
Li Dian was protected by the shield of his personal guard and pulled back.
At this time, the enemy's heavy crossbows and arrow towers hurriedly fired towards the city. Countless arrows were shot. Some Jingjun who were just about to pour the gold juice were shot and killed. As a result, the cauldron was unevenly stressed, and many of them were injured. The golden juice was sprinkled on the city, scalding many of our own people, the stench was overwhelming, and the screams continued. The ferocity of the battlefield was vividly reflected at this moment.
The fierce battle ahead attracted the attention of countless people, so that no one noticed that Xu Chu had moved the trebuchet a hundred steps forward, less than two hundred steps away from the wall blocking Yangcheng.
Loaded, everything is ready.
Looking at the tragic battle ahead, Cao Cao's face was as calm as water. Until he saw that Li Dian was scalded with gold juice and his life or death was unknown, the muscles on his face inadvertently twitched and he squeezed out two sinister words from between his teeth:
"Projection!"
The messenger on the side of the supervising platform immediately waved his flag.
After Xu Chu saw his comrade Li Dian being injured by Jin Zhibo and falling to the ground with no idea of his life or death, his anger instantly filled his chest. When he saw the order coming from the battle supervising platform, it was like the roaring flood had found an outlet. He waved his big hand towards Duyang City Gate Tower. He yelled: "Put it on me——!"
"Bang——!"
As the order was issued, dozens of trebuchets aimed at the gatehouse and fired volleys away.
Inside the gatehouse.
Zhang Xiu looked at the battle below the city coldly, and suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and his nerves skipped a beat. He looked up in surprise, and saw dozens of huge stone pavements blasting into the sky, and flying rocks roaring. Extraordinarily strong.
The moment he saw the flying stone, Zhang Xiu was stunned and stunned.
A thin stream of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
On top of the city.
Wei Yan and other generals suddenly felt that something was wrong. When they looked up, they saw huge rocks flying towards the gate tower above their heads. They were immediately frightened. At that moment, the generals even felt that their souls were flying out of their bodies.
When Pound saw the boulder flying up, his eyes were bloodshot, his face became ferocious, and he shouted towards the gate tower: "Flying stone——! Your Majesty, leave quickly!"
At this critical moment, Zhang Gan and Hu Jun reacted instantly. Zhang Gan rushed to Zhang Xiu, threw him down at the corner of the gate tower, blocked Zhang Xiu with his body, closed his eyes and waited for his life. Come and get it at the end.
Since Hu Jun was far away from Zhang Xiu, when he had just rushed halfway, the boulder had already flown straight in from the window and hit him.
Hu Jun turned his head suddenly, his whole body went numb for an instant, and his pupils instantly dilated to an unbearable degree.
The huge boulder that was about to enlarge was reflected in his pupils.
This moment.
Hu Jun thought of Zhang Xiu who needed protection, and of his newly married and pregnant wife Li Xiuju...
"boom!"
Hu Jun only felt a heavy force hitting his chest. His feet were knocked off the ground and flew out. His chest was instantly sunk in. The heavy force made him unable to breathe, but he looked at Zhang Xiu tightly.
This moment.
Zhang Xiu had already reacted, and through Zhang Qian's open arms, he happened to meet Hu Jun's concerned and desperate eyes, as if he was making the final farewell to him as king, subject, and brother.
That gaze made Zhang Xiu's whole body tremble as if he was electrified. His heart seemed to have been cut out by a cold knife. His eyes instantly turned red. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists...
The boulder ruthlessly and senselessly relied on its heavy strength to instantly lead Hu Jun towards the stone wall behind.
"boom--!"
The stone wall was instantly smashed and exploded, with rubble flying.
At that moment, Hu Jun's body was ground into pieces by the huge force from the front and back. Blood splashed out along with the gravel and splashed onto Zhang Xiu's face.
Then, dozens of flying stones all smashed into the gatehouse, which was riddled with holes and collapsed suddenly.
Fortunately, Fazheng and Pang Tong had just stepped down from the gatehouse to convey Zhang Xiu's order and escaped. However, when they saw the gatehouse in such a condition, they were so frightened that they froze in place.
The gate tower collapsed.
Generals Wei Yan, Pang De and others rushed toward the destroyed gatehouse while crawling, desperately tearing apart huge rocks and wooden rafters, looking for Zhang Xiu's figure.
"Defend the city—!"
Suddenly, Zhang Xiu's command came from the collapsed gate tower. The voice was cold, icy, and filled with unquestionable majesty.
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then became ecstatic.
Pang De immediately ordered: "Ma Ming, Ma Dai, and Liu Bao listen to the order! Pour all the golden juice for me, shoot all the crossbow arrows, and kill these stupid beasts!"
"Here!" the three of them almost shouted in response.
Pang De and Wei Yan organized people to clean up the things in the gatehouse. Soon, when the debris in the corner was cleared, the first thing they saw was Zhang Qian's stubborn and hard body that turned to stone. Zhang Xiu was firmly protected by Zhang Qian. Down.
At this moment, Zhang Gan was holding on to the windows on both sides of the corner wall with both hands, and his body stood tall and majestic. Even if countless wooden rafters and stones fell from the gate tower, they were all blocked by his body.
As for Zhang Qian, blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his body was already cold.
Pang De was eager to save Zhang Xiu, and was about to move Zhang Gan away to get out of Zhang Xiu, but when he tried to move, he was shocked to find that he could not move Zhang Gan at all with his own strength.
Being able to become Zhang Xiu's personal bodyguard, Zhang Qian's abilities needless to say are very strong, but he is not as strong as a first-class general. Pang De's strength is very great, and he didn't expect that he couldn't move Zhang Qian.
Wei Yan joined hands and worked together to move Zhang Qian's arm. He tried his best, but his arm was as hard as steel and did not move at all.
This is no longer the size of his strength, but the transcendent Savior’s will that inspired his body’s maximum strength.
Zhang Xiu's heart trembled suddenly. She looked at Zhang Qian who lowered his head and closed his eyes safely. His eyes were red. He stretched out his hand and put it on Zhang Qian's arm. He shouted: "Zhang Qian, I am safe." , you...can rest in peace."
"Bang!"
As soon as Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Zhang Qian's body miraculously softened, and he knelt in front of Zhang Xiu with his back straight.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu's heart was stabbed hard again.
Pang De, Wei Yan and other generals were in awe when they saw Zhang Qian's loyalty. Their hearts trembled as they looked at Zhang Qian's steel-like body.
Zhang Xiu carefully removed the dust from Zhang Gan's hair, but tears dripped on Zhang Gan's hair. His throat was choked and he remained silent for a long time.
The Wei army below began to prepare for the second reload.
Pang De said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous here..."
"Cao Cao!" Before Pang De could finish his words, a chilling murderous aura suddenly appeared on Zhang Xiu's body, and he gritted his teeth, "For such a bloody battle with deep hatred, I will order you to fight with blood to pay for it! The law will be rectified!"
Fazheng: "Here!"
"Didn't Zhang Liao and the others capture Cao Cao's second son Cao Zhang alive?" Zhang Xiu's eyes shot out a murderous cold light, "Send him to me. I will kill his beloved son in front of Cao Cao's eyes. I will use Cao's family to kill him." Blood to honor my beloved general!"
"Here!" Fazheng promised loudly.
The generals next to him suddenly felt a surge of excitement from the emperor's grace.
