The Chu army under the city wall suffered heavy casualties. People kept falling from the ladders. Seeing that if this continued, the losses of his own people would increase. Mo Wentian was very anxious. At this moment, a soldier came to report, Their catapults have been built and are ready for use on the battlefield.
In order to save time, Mo Wentian wanted to capture Jiangxia County as soon as possible, so he launched an attack rashly without completing the construction of the catapult. He did not expect to cause such a huge loss.
Mo Wentian immediately ordered: "Let all the soldiers withdraw and prepare the catapults to attack."
After the Chu army withdrew, more than a dozen catapults began to throw stones and fire altars into the city. Many soldiers on the city wall were smashed into a piece of flesh, and some were shot away. Even many soldiers were shot out of the city wall. dented.
Those fire altars were made of fire oil and sulfur. Once broken, the oil inside would be instantly ignited by the fire source outside and splash around. Many soldiers were burned alive in this way.
Those fire altars were thrown into the city, and the people's houses were immediately ignited and plunged into a sea of fire.
Erdan waved his sleeves and knocked away the attacking boulder. He immediately ordered all the soldiers to lie down and use the city wall as a blocker, so that their casualties would be smaller.
At the same time, Erdan sent people into the city to organize people to put out the fire. The fire could not continue to spread, otherwise many people would be killed in the flames.
After dozens of rounds of attacks, the soldiers on Erdan's side suffered heavy losses.
Mo Wentian saw that the time was ripe and immediately asked his soldiers to attack.
When the Chu army came under the city wall, there was still no movement. When they started to climb up the city wall with ladders, there was still no movement. When they climbed halfway, suddenly all the soldiers guarding the city came out. Because their bows and arrows had been exhausted, They all lifted up stones, wood and other heavy objects and threw them down.
A shocking scene appeared. Many soldiers whose bodies were on fire used their flesh and blood as heavy objects to hit the enemy troops below. Although the Chu army was large in number, there was nothing they could do for a while.
When Mo Wentian saw this scene, he was shocked and also felt particularly puzzled. As far as he knew, these soldiers were all surrendered by Wang Xuan. Why didn't they show such strength in the previous battle with Wang Qizhi? Combat power?
As the saying goes, one soldier is a raging enemy, and a general is raging in a den. This does not mean that Wang Xuan's command of the army is useless, but that the courage shown by Erdan now deeply affects every soldier, coupled with the training and military discipline during this period. Without the constraints, they have long since changed their appearance and become an invincible force.
Holding a long sword, Erdan and several generals took the lead and fought with the enemy. The enemy's blood stained his entire body red.
After more than ten days of fighting, there were still more than a thousand soldiers guarding the city, and nearly 60% of the enemy troops had suffered casualties. If Wang Qizhi had not come to support them, they might have been completely wiped out.
All the remaining soldiers, led by Wang Yidan and several other generals, dragged their injured bodies and stood on the city wall, looking resolutely ahead. There was no fear in their eyes, only the determination to regard death as home.
When the soldiers under the city saw this scene, they stood undecided under the city wall and did not dare to move forward.
When Mo Wentian saw this scene, he was very shocked. These 40,000 people were able to withstand the attack of more than 100,000 of them. If they faced equal enemies, wouldn't they have no chance of winning?
He sighed and said: "Wang Qizhi, have you been a terrible person for many years?"
Erdan looked into the distance, why didn't this guy Wang Qizhi come? We really couldn't hold on any longer.
Mo Wentian ordered the army to attack again. The soldiers of the Chu army had to climb up the city wall again under the military order. At this moment, a large number of figures suddenly appeared not far from the south, numbering fifty thousand. Although these people did not ride horses, , but the speed is extremely fast, and he looks like a martial arts practitioner at first glance.
Wang Yidan saw this scene and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, we have hope!"
Jiang Yiyi divided the fifty thousand people into two waves. One wave was led by Sima Hui and flew to the top of the city to resist the Chu army's attack. The other wave blocked the enemy's retreat and prepared to destroy the enemy here.
When Mo Wentian saw the enemy's reinforcements arriving, he knew in his heart that his exhausted troops were no match for the more than 50,000 masters, so he immediately paid for the troops and retreated. However, it was too late, the retreat had been cut off, and he became a turtle in the urn.
Mo Wentian had no choice but to lead his men to escape, but not long after they ran out, they saw two familiar figures in front of them. They turned out to be Wu Yazi and Chen Shuyi.
Mo Wentian stopped his horse, looked at the two of them, and said, "Chen Shuyi, why aren't you dead yet?"
Chen Shuyi snorted coldly and said: "Thanks to the help of noble people, I survived the disaster so that I can take revenge on you."
Mo Wentian looked at Chen Shuyi who had not changed and laughed loudly: "It's a pity, it's a pity. It's a pity that I couldn't kiss Fangze."
Wu Yazi said to his wife: "Don't talk nonsense with him, just do it directly."
Mo Wentian looked at his subordinates and said, "You retreat first and meet at the old place. These two will be handed over to me."
Several of their men glanced at each other, then immediately waved their whips and drove the horses away from here.
Wu Yazi said: "It seems that you don't plan to go back to resume your life?"
Mo Wentian said coldly: "Don't forget, my biggest characteristic is that I am ruthless and unrighteous. What does the life and death of King Chu have to do with me?"
Wu Yazi laughed and said: "You are really ruthless and ruthless, you can do anything."
Hearing this, Mo Wentian laughed loudly and said, "In today's troubled times, can friendship be enough to survive?"
Say it! Mo Wentian burst out with powerful internal energy. This guy was actually a master in the middle heaven position. Wu Yazi heard from Wang Qizhi that this guy was only a master in the lower heaven position. How could his strength increase so much in a short time?
Naturally, Wang Qizhi would not deceive Wu Yazi. There was only one reason. This guy had been pretending, but he had been pretending for so many years, and outsiders had not noticed it, which showed how deep his scheming was.
Wu Yazi pushed his wife aside and said, "You can't interfere in this duel, just watch from the sidelines."
Immediately, he also pulled out his weapon and started fighting with Mo Wentian.
Besides, on the other side of the city wall, Jiang Yiyi and Erdan did not rush to take action. Instead, they said to the besieged Chu army: "You have been surrounded by groups, and the general has fled. It is better to surrender obediently, so that there is a way out."
These soldiers had long heard that Wang Qizhi's army was waiting for prisoners, and they were hanging out with them. It was not a dream to get promoted to an official position. They put down their weapons without thinking. As ordinary soldiers, they could hang out with anyone, as long as they had enough food. Just drink enough.
