Standing on the earth city wall.
Zhang Xiu was wearing a golden chainmail with a piece of soft gold silk armor added inside. He had a sword hanging on his waist and stood on the wall of the earth city. He looked at the Wei army rushing down from Duyang City with a sneer on his lips.
Killing Cao Zhang in front of the Wei army was to completely anger Cao Cao and push them into the grave he had prepared long ago.
This fifty-foot-wide trench is the tomb of the Wei army.
There are two finger-wide holes all on the inside of the earthen wall, with the openings facing downwards.
There is no need to aim or look out. The space below is small. If you shoot downwards with your eyes closed, you can hit Wei Jun 100% of the time. At the same time, there were countless spearmen standing ready on the top of the earth wall, always ready to thrust out with their spears.
Under the leadership of Dian Wei, countless Wei troops crossed Duyang City and fought towards the earth city wall.
The rage just now has not disappeared, Cao Zhang's head is hanging on the earth city wall again.
When Dian Wei saw Cao Zhang's head, he went berserk and rushed towards the earth city wall with red eyes to take back Cao Zhang's head. Zhang Xiu's tactics are despicable, but they are indeed very effective. They arouse the bottomless hatred of the Wei army and jump into the grave he prepared for them.
"emperor!"
Wei Yan bowed respectfully and clasped his fists, "The Wei army has entered the firing range. Please give me your permission, Your Majesty."
"There's no rush," Zhang Xiu looked down at the densely packed Wei army rushing down from Duyang City, and said calmly, "When they get on the ladder, they are attacking. Also, are the fire materials ready?"
Wei Yan: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are sulfur, flames, saltpeter and grass igniting things hidden under their feet. As long as they are ignited, the pit will turn into purgatory in an instant."
Zhang Xiu didn't speak, just nodded.
Although he is kind but not a soldier, the human heart is fleshy. Seeing with your own eyes that the living lives below are about to be shattered by the cruel battlefield, who can be as calm as water without any ripples?
In anger, the Wei army quickly attacked the earth city wall.
As the front troops of the Wei army arrived at the earth city wall, there were still densely packed and numerous Wei troops rushing down the Duyang City in the rear. The fifty-foot-wide trench was packed with Wei troops, about thirty to forty thousand people.
Zhang Xiu tensed his face and uttered two words expressionlessly:
"Fire the arrow!"
Then, thousands of arrows were fired.
The flower-edged armor-piercing crossbow relied on its powerful penetrating power to shoot out an arrow, instantly piercing through three Wei soldiers, and did not stop until the fourth. Dozens of flower-bladed armor-piercing crossbows, coupled with countless archers, fired wildly downwards.
Wei Jun quickly climbed up the ladder, carrying his shield and braving the rain of arrows and climbed up as fast as possible.
Pang De looked coldly at Wei Jun who was climbing up quickly, with a sneer on his lips, and waved his hand: "Pikemen, prepare! Thrust!"
Countless spears suddenly protruded from the flat front.
Wei Jun held a shield in one hand and climbed up the ladder with the other, holding the back of the knife in his mouth. He was completely unprepared for a spear poking out of the wall, and was pierced without warning.
Countless Wei troops were all killed by spears.
Less than half an hour after the battle began, rivers of blood flowed under the earthen city wall, corpses piled up, and countless Wei soldiers were killed by spears and arrows. Dian Wei's eyes were already stained red with blood when he saw such a brutal battle.
At this time, Xia Houchun, Cao Hong and others also rushed to the top of Duyang City.
When they saw the tragic scene behind them, they suddenly felt numb all over. This was simply a one-sided massacre. The Jing army hid in the perfect fortifications and used sharp arrows and spears to ruthlessly claim the life of the Wei army.
Cao Hong glanced at Jingjun's earth wall and hurriedly shouted to Dian Wei below: "General Dian Wei, dig the wall! Dig this earth wall through!"
Dian Wei suddenly understood and hurriedly ordered his army to dig the wall.
Zhang Xiu stood on the top of the city and looked at the battle below through the small observation hole. At the same time, he heard Cao Hong's voice. He sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth and said to Tuli Chen next to him: "Send the order to Wei Yan, prepare to set fire." Bar!"
"Here!"
Tu Lichen ran down quickly.
Then, all the arrows turned into rockets and shot downward.
Everything under Wei Jun's feet was flammable and would burn when exposed to fire. When the rocket shot down, a blue flame burst out instantly after the two came into contact. The surroundings were surrounded by sulfur, saltpeter, and other flammable materials, and the flames spread out from under their feet like a tide.
Then, Jingjun on the earthen wall threw bundles of round hay balls downwards, fueling the fire and becoming more arrogant. The temperature in the trench rose rapidly, and coupled with the scorching sun, the densely packed Wei army was immediately burned to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and the screams penetrated the hearts of the people.
When the Wei troops behind saw the fire in the pit, they hurriedly climbed up toward Duyang City. However, there was a steady stream of Wei troops climbing up from the other side of Duyang City, and the top of Duyang City was filled up in a matter of seconds. The Wei army in the trench tried their best to escape the sea of fire and squeezed towards Duyang City.
Many Wei troops crowded down the city.
When Xia Houchun and Cao Hong saw the fire below, they were frightened.
When a fire breaks out in such a narrow space, it instantly becomes a hell on earth. Countless Wei soldiers are crawling and rolling screaming. The merciless flames are like a majestic forest, dancing wildly on the human body like thousands of macaques and thousands of elves, demanding for Live life.
Dian Wei was surrounded by a sea of fire.
When Jingjun fired the rockets, Dianwei reacted as if his whole body was numb. He looked down mechanically with horrified eyes and found that he was stepping on dead grass and smelled a strange smell, but it was too late. .
Dian Wei's guards seized the soldiers' tools with their bare hands and began digging into the wall with all their might. Earth overcomes fire, so as long as you dig a hole and hide in it, you have a chance to survive. The guards began digging frantically, but the fire outran them.
When they had just dug a small hole, the fire had already surrounded them, and the scorching heat stung their whole bodies.
The guards pulled Dian Wei into this small pit. The captain of the guards said to Dian Wei with red eyes: "General! We have nothing else to ask for. If you can survive, please... take care of our family. "As he said that, several tall men's eyes turned red.
Dian Wei struggled and shouted: "Fuck you! We will die together!"
More than a dozen personal guards worked together to forcefully block Dian Wei in the pit. They looked at Dian Wei with eyes that were more scorching than the fire outside. The captain of the personal guards said with tears in his eyes: "General, you are the emperor's beloved general. , we tried our best to save you, the emperor will definitely reward our family. If we all die, our family will probably starve to death. If you and us both die, our family will not survive. I have hope, General! Please stay alive..."
Dian Wei gritted his teeth and looked at them, his eyes red with unexpressable emotions. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't express the complicated feelings, so he could only look at them with tears in his eyes.
The fire spread from behind them.
Dian Wei's tearful eyes watched as their familiar faces were gradually engulfed by the flames. They did not cry miserably or roll on the ground. They kept staring at him with fiery eyes until they were completely consumed by the ruthless flames. engulfed...
