Outside Yiling City,
The shouts of killing are endless, with the flash of swords and shadows.
After a simple exploratory attack by the Shu army, the generals of the Shu army had basically figured out the number of defenders in Yiling City.
It is estimated to be around 10,000.
"Woo!"
From the Shu army's position, there was a dull and rich horn sound.
Immediately afterwards,
Thousands of well-equipped soldiers of the Shu Army, holding shields in their left hands and leaning forward to protect their bodies, holding straight spears in their right hands, exposing the cold tip of their spears, were approaching the Yiling city wall at a steady pace.
then,
Among the Shu army,
Huge black shadows appeared. Looking up,
But there were more than a dozen tall ladder trucks, driven by a group of Shu army soldiers, rolling heavy gears and moving slowly through the yellow soil.
The wheels are rolling, the sand is flying, and the rocks are flying. It is so majestic and intimidating.
These ladder carts are about three feet long and nearly ten feet high. This height is almost the same as the height of the Yiling city wall. If the ladder cart is close to the city wall, as long as the soldiers climb the ladder, they can fight with the Soochow soldiers on the wall.
This is a powerful weapon for conquering cities and territories.
Although the Shu army is the one attacking the city, there will be archers shooting arrow clusters at the Soochow soldiers on the Yiling wall. Although the effect is minimal, it can also reduce the pressure on the siege soldiers and suppress the Soochow soldiers. attack.
Occasionally, a few unlucky Soochow soldiers were hit by arrows fired from the Shu army below. They fell from the tall city wall and were shattered to pieces.
Some of the lucky ones did not fall to death and were still struggling on the ground with a strong desire to survive. Unfortunately, the Shu army behind saw them and hacked them to death without mercy.
Although there were some casualties among the Soochow soldiers on the city wall, the impact was not significant. As long as the Shu army did not attack the city wall, the balance of victory would have stayed on Soochow's side.
With the advancement of the heavily armored soldiers, more than ten ladder trucks have successfully approached the bottom of the Yiling city wall.
The eyes of the Shu soldiers brightened up, and they began to board the ladder truck and climbed up quickly.
on the city wall,
When the Soochow soldiers saw that the Shu army had boarded the ladder truck, they fired arrows one after another to block the defense.
Countless black arrow clusters flew out with a whistling sound, directly killing the Shu soldiers on the ladder.
After a shower of arrows,
The Shu soldier who first climbed up the ladder was shot to death by a cluster of arrows, and his body fell heavily from the ladder, followed by a burst of blood and a burst of flying dust.
Although the first batch of soldiers of the Shu army to climb the ladder were shot to death by Soochow soldiers on the city wall, more than a hundred of them were shot dead, but it did not reduce the fighting spirit of any soldier.
They all climbed up the ladder without hesitation.
Lu Xun, who was standing on the tower, looked at everything here with cold eyes and an indifferent expression.
The screams, fighting, roaring, beating of drums, etc. around him did not affect any of his emotions.
because,
Lu Xun was waiting, waiting for the god Li Jie to take action.
Regardless of whether it was Zhuge Liang's magic that saved Liu Bei's army in the sky yesterday, or it was the real god coming.
In fact, Lu Xun was no longer afraid.
Rather than holding back and feeling timid, it is better to take risks and give it a try.
Maybe there is a glimmer of hope.
No big deal, it's just death.
However, even if you die, you must die well and have value.
Even if he, Lu Xun, dies, he will never return to Liu Bei's army.
"Send my military order and fire off rockets!"
A cold look flashed across Lu Xun's eyes, and his face was filled with suffocating murderous intent.
"The Grand Governor has an order to set off rockets."
The Soochow soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly, ran quickly on the city wall, and waved the command flags in their hands vigorously.
Following Lu Xun's order, a thousand archers who had been ambushing under the female wall lit their rockets and shot out towards the bottom of the city wall.
"Rocket!?"
Liu Bei, who was in charge of the central army, vaguely heard the voice on the city wall.
In a defensive battle, rockets were actually used?
Is this Lu Xun at the end of his rope and at his wits’ end?
As a counselor, Ma Liang also heard the sound on the city wall. He frowned and his expression changed drastically, as if he had an ominous premonition.
"Your Majesty, Lu Xun is very resourceful and has a cunning military strategy. To prevent any unexpected events, please move to the rear first, where I, Liao Hua and other generals can stay." Ma Liang's eyes were frightened and uneasy.
"Younger Lu Xun is very treacherous and has killed my sworn brothers Guan and Zhang. I have an sworn hatred with him. I will attack Yiling and cut Lu Xun into pieces with a thousand knives to resolve the blood feud." Liu Bei was already at this time. Blinded by hatred, he lost his basic reason.
Ma Liang shook his head and sighed softly, "Your Majesty, the revenge of the two generals Zhang can be postponed first and then avenged. Now Lu Xun suddenly changes his defense and changes occur. He must have a plan, or..."
Before Ma Liang finishes speaking,
There were screams from the Shu army under Yiling City, and there seemed to be a strong smell of oil in the air? Mixed with some pungent burning smell.
The Shu army generals followed the sound and couldn't help but look pale.
I saw,
Under the city wall,
A sea of fire and thick smoke billowed into the sky.
The soldiers of the Shu army who were attacking the city had been caught in the sea of fire, and their lives were worse than death. The ladder truck that was attacking the city was swallowed up by the raging flames and turned into ashes.
The soldiers of the Shu army who were still fierce just blinked their eyes and suddenly turned into charred corpses with bloody flesh and blood.
What happened?
When Liu Bei saw this, his face was horrified, and the Yuanyang knife in his hand almost fell off.
"Where are Guan Xing and Zhang Bao?" Liu Bei looked around, but they were nowhere to be seen, and he suddenly felt frightened and uneasy.
Among the Shu army, a young general wearing white clothes and silver armor cupped his fists towards Liu Bei and shouted, "Your Majesty, the two generals Guan Xing and Zhang Bao have already attacked the city, and I am afraid that it is already in a sea of fire."
"What!?" Liu Bei was frightened, frightened, and his face was pale, "Quick, hurry up and save them."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The young general in white clothes and silver armor held a silver spear with red tassels and galloped towards the outside of Yiling City.
at this time,
Just as the young general in white said just now, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were surrounded by blazing flames, and the Shu soldiers around them were all burned to death by the flames.
At this moment, outside Yiling City, it seemed like a shocking purgatory.
"Guan Xing, what should I do?" Zhang Bao was helpless. At this time, his and Guan Xing's clothes had been burned to pieces by the fire, and their faces were covered with a layer of dark smoke. They looked miserable.
The owner had been affected by the fire, and their horses were not spared. They were burned to death by the flames and lay not far away.
Guan Xing subconsciously looked up at the dusk sky where the sun had set. How he hoped that God would take action again.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time,
There was no movement from the gods. Could it be that they had given up on them?
When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were helpless,
Beyond the sea of fire, there was a loud sound of horse hooves,
Then,
A young man wearing white clothes and silver armor rushed in from the sea of fire.
"Two generals, don't panic, Lieutenant Li Jun of Baijie Military Academy is here to save you."
The young man in white clothes and silver armor, holding a silver spear with red tassels, galloped on his horse, looking heroic and menacing.
When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao saw his appearance, they had an illusion. Why did he look so like a god?
