ah In the five hundred meters between the two armies, screams and shouts of death could be heard, and people fell every moment.
The defenders on the city wall were also suppressed by the archers of the Jingzhou army.
Some of the defenders fell on the city wall with arrows, and some fell directly from the city wall.
"Build a ladder and attack the city wall," Dian Wei shouted.
At a distance of five hundred meters, even with the obstruction of the defenders on the city wall, he still led the army to rush over.
Of course, he did not lead the blood-clad guards this time, and all three hundred blood-clad guards stayed with Liu Qi.
The Bloody Guards are a personal guard camp, not used to attack the city.
This time he led the army to attack the city, and it was just a guest appearance.
The soldiers carrying the ladder did not hesitate.
They raised the ladder and set it up beside the Jiangxia city wall.
Two soldiers held down the ladder and stabilized it.
Some soldiers held weapons and quickly climbed up the ladder to climb up the city wall. go.
"Hold on, we must not let the enemy climb up the city wall," Han Dang shouted.
Before the Jingzhou army attacked the city, he knew that Liu Qi had not surrounded Jiangxia City, but only surrounded three gates, leaving the city gates that fled to Jiangdong without soldiers and horses.
But he also knew that Liu Qi had no good intentions.
Leaving a city gate meant that there was still a way to survive, so the defenders would not have the intention of fighting to the death.
In this way, if a critical situation occurred, they would definitely flee. , but I know there is no way.
He took out the spear of a dead defender, inserted it on the ladder set up beside the city wall, and pushed it out hard.
The soldiers holding spears in the defenders also used their spears to push the ladders out like Han Dang; some of the defenders threw some prepared stones and so on, and the archers in the defenders no longer moved far away.
Instead of shooting arrows everywhere, he leaned against the city wall and shot arrows down the city. ah Some of the Jingzhou soldiers who were pushed out of the ladder also fell backwards following the ladder.
The soldiers who had not climbed very high were only slightly injured.
The soldiers who had climbed very high were not so well.
Fortunately, if you fall from a high altitude, even those who survive will be seriously injured.
There were also some Jingzhou soldiers who had just climbed up the city wall, but before they even waved their weapons, they were pierced by several sharp blades and fell from the city wall.
But even so, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the Jingzhou soldiers to attack the city.
The fallen ladder fell down, continued to be set up, and continued to climb toward the top of the city wall, one after another.
The city wall is like a meat grinder, soldiers are dying every moment, both the enemy and ourselves.
Time passed little by little.
But for the Jingzhou soldiers who were attacking the city and the defenders who were defending the city, it was like a long century had passed.
Every minute and every second seemed so long.
However, as the battle continued, the resistance on the city wall was not as fierce as before.
After all, the defenders also lost a lot in the process of defending the city, not to mention that there were only 5,000 defenders who had to be dispersed to three city gates.
Liu Qi looked at the battle ahead with an expressionless face.
Although there were not many soldiers defending the city, relying on the strength of the city wall, he could still cause great losses to his soldiers and horses.
But if there were other ways, he would not be willing to launch a strong attack and use human lives to fill the gap.
But if he could not capture Jiangxia quickly and wait until Jiangdong's reinforcements arrived, then everything would be meaningless.
And after failing to capture Jiangxia City this time, Sun Ce will definitely strengthen his defense.
If he wants to capture Jiangxia in the future, the price he may pay will be even greater.
"Lord, why not let the soldiers in front withdraw first and let the remaining soldiers attack the city?"
Kuai Yue suggested.
Hearing this, Liu Qi also came to his senses, shook his head, and said: "It's not necessary.
Although the former army had a lot of casualties, it was a time when morale was high and it was not suitable to withdraw.
And no matter which city gate was captured, Jiangxia The city must be destroyed.
Han Dang has only one way to withdraw from Jiangxia City, otherwise he will have to stay in Jiangxia City forever."
"But" Kuai Yue was a little worried.

"Now we can only attack by force.
It just depends on who falls first.
As for some casualties, it is inevitable.
The defenders of Jiangxia City are about to be unable to support it.
Moreover, I have left a way for them to survive.
So...
It is not possible to think of a last-ditch battle.
It is still possible to capture Jiangxia City in one battle, so some things are still acceptable," Liu Qi said.
Hearing this, Kuai Yue stopped talking, and he also understood that there was no time to fight a protracted war, and a quick victory was the most suitable for the current situation.
However, seeing the tragic battle situation, he still couldn't bear it.
Nowadays, the battle at the city wall has also become intense.
Jingzhou soldiers often attack the city wall, but they are beaten back again after Han Dang leads the defenders to stop them. puff Han Dang slashed the throat of a Jingzhou soldier who had just climbed the city wall with his sword.
Blood sprayed out and stained his face, and the dead soldier also fell from the city wall.
However, he, who had a worried face to begin with, was even more worried now because he saw the general he had sent to guard the North City Gate before running towards him in a panic, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
"General Han, the enemy has already attacked the northern city wall and cannot be stopped anymore," the general said in panic.
Sure enough, Han Dang secretly said that the north city wall had been breached, so the outcome of this battle had already been decided.
Looking far outside the city, where Liu Qi was, there were still defenders who had consumed most of their energy and left less than half.
He didn't expect Liu Qi to be so capable, even if he sacrificed his life, he would capture Jiangxia City where he was stationed in one battle.
"General Han, let's withdraw.
Jiangxia City cannot be defended without reinforcements.
If we don't leave, it will be too late when the north city gate is opened," the general advised.
"Damn it!"
Han Dang struck the city wall with his sword.
If he could have known that Liu Qi was coming to attack and made arrangements earlier, the current situation would not have happened.
He looked outside the city and shouted with gritted teeth: "Gather the troops and send people."
Report to the south city gate and ask him to lead the troops to retreat, withdraw from the east city gate, and meet outside the east city gate."
"promise" There was also joy in the general's eyes.
He was not a loyal person, and he didn't want to die here.
As Han Dang's order to retreat was given, the defenders immediately gave up their resistance and followed Han Dang toward the city.
The generals were preparing to leave, so how could they stay and wait to die.
As the defenders retreated, the Jingzhou soldiers who ascended the city no longer encountered any effective obstruction.
They climbed onto the city wall and swarmed down the city.
They still needed to open the city gate to welcome the army into the city and completely take over the city.
"It's over," Liu Qi, who was outside the city, sighed when he saw the situation on the city wall.
If Han Dang retreats, then the people who attacked the other two city gates must have attacked the city wall, otherwise Han Dang will definitely continue to block them.
After all, they have not taken any advantage
