Early the next morning, when Liu Qi led the 5,000 soldiers of the Huben battalion to line up outside the south gate, behind them, there were 500 catapults, which spread outward in an arc, 300 steps away from the city wall, and there were more than a dozen dilapidated catapults at the head of the city, and they could not attack outside the city.
"Lord, Liu Qi'er's general flag is outside the city, we will open the city gate and kill it, as long as we capture and kill Liu Qi'er, we can break the enemy in one fell swoop."
Chen Wu looked at the banner outside the city with excitement on his face, he never forgot how miserable they were defeated in the battle of Moling last year, the loss of troops and the defeat of generals, and the old department under his command did not survive one out of ten, how miserable.
Sun Ce's eyes were also a little moved, his gaze was staring at the silver armor figure under the word "Liu", and the murderous aura in his eyes became more and more vigorous.
"General Zilie don't be impatient, although there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, but Tai Shi Ci Jing cavalry is on one side, if our army goes out of the city, Tai Shi Ci leads the army to sneak attack from the flank, our army will be defeated, this is the enemy's plan to lure the enemy."
Beside him, a white-shirted scribe immediately spoke out to dissuade him.
"Ziheng is reasonable, my lord, don't rush in."
On the side, Song Qian also spoke and persuaded him.
"Not only that, looking at the enemy army outside the city, there are few soldiers in the south gate, but they are all Jiangdong soldiers, there will be Tai Shici, Dong attack, there are also crossbows, archers lurking in it, and the remaining three gates are to attack the city with a large army, the lord, there are not many soldiers and horses in my city, and the four gates are guarded, and the strength is not enough, so it is better to guard the remaining three gates, waiting for the opportunity to break through."
Lu Fan glanced worriedly at the catapult waiting outside the city, and stroked his beard with one hand.
Sun Ce's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "If the south gate is abandoned, thousands of elite horsemen under Tai Shi Ci can drive straight in, and we will break through and we will not be able to escape." ” "If he doesn't enter the city, if he does, it should be an opportunity for us to break through."
Lu Fan laughed, the lord can collect the city board car, cotton wool, poured tung oil, pine resin, when our army retreated, ignited in the city, Liu Qi child is known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, must first put out the fire, so, our army can take advantage of the situation to break through.
"Break through to the north" Sun Ce's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"The lord can see Xu Shu's banner today," Lu Fan said with a smile.
Sun Ce shook his head slightly, and then suddenly thought of something.
"If what I expected is right, Xu Yuanzhi must have led the army north to capture Xiquyang, Yinling and other places."
Sun Ce's face changed slightly, "In this way, the Shouchun camp, the flanks are lost, and Gongjin is located" Lu Fan smiled and took out a secret letter from his sleeve, "This is a letter sent back from the north by a scout before I landed in the city. ” Sun Ce opened the Wu paper, glanced at it, and looked overjoyed, "It is worthy of Gong Jin, but he has a good strategy to break the enemy." ” "In this way, our army only needs to defend the city for one day, and then we can withdraw our troops to the north, and there will be no loss if Chengde has General Ling Cao."
After Sun Ce collected the letter, he saw that a large number of people outside the city had come to the vicinity of the catapult, and his face changed slightly, "Ziheng, we should retreat into the city." ” "Whoa."
Lu Fan followed behind Sun Ce, looking at the already somewhat dilapidated city walls everywhere, with a little sadness on his face.
In the past half a month, Xu Shu has not ordered the whole army to attack the city, but he has been bombarding the southern gate with catapults "Siege the city", Sun Ce took Lu Fan along the city wall road to the back of the city gate, the city gates on all sides, almost at the same time came the sound of war drums, and then, the earth began to tremble, shouting and killing, from all directions.
When Sun Ce and the others rode their horses away, as soon as they turned around, they could see dense, hail-like stone bullets, directly covering the South Gate City Gate.
With a loud "boom", Sun Ce reined in suddenly, and on the stone slab of the street in front of him, a small pit was smashed out by a stone the size of a grinding plate, and the stone shattered, and he was also so frightened that his face turned blue.
"Boom" When he led the people to retreat a few hundred steps away, Le Ma stood on the long street, Sun Ce looked at the head of the city, "I don't know, the soldiers in the city will be fine" "Report to the lord, the city gate on three sides, the enemy army has launched an attack on the city, and thousands of Jiangdong soldiers have climbed the city wall along the ladder and well cart."
Sun Ce's face was bitter, "Ziheng, in your opinion, you can still keep a day" "After nightfall, our army must break through."
Lu Fan looked at the city gate tower that had collapsed under the bombardment of stone bullets in the distance, and even glanced at the houses destroyed by stone bullets not far away, such a harsh offensive, no wonder the enemy army did not need to send people to attack the city, these stone bullets were the best siege weapons.
Sun Ce glanced at Lu Fan, "Ziheng, there are still 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, I give you 1,000 soldiers and horses, gallop to the north gate, I lead an army of 1,000 to gallop to the west gate." ” "My lord, why don't you let me rush to the aid of Simon."
Lu Fan hesitated.
"The north gate is the breakthrough of our army, the only place to live, Ziheng can't shirk it."
Sun Ce took a deep look at Lu Fan, patted him on the shoulder, and placed the spear across the reins, "I'll go." ” "Driving", on the long street, the war horse's hooves were flying, stepping on the dust and smoke in the sky, Sun Ce's burly figure made Lu Fan look a little teary-eyed.
"Siege."
When Lu Fan arrived at the north gate city wall and walked to the top few stone steps, he had already seen the scene on the city.
Mountains of corpses were piled up, and countless people stepped forward to pull the corpses away, and then there were healers bandaging the wounded sergeants.
"Lord of the prefectural order, don't come forward."
Lu Fan was about to ascend to the city to command the battle, but was stopped by the guards on the side.
"What is the situation on the city walls?"
"General Bohai is leading the army to clear the enemy in the city, the enemy has climbed the city wall three times, each time with thousands of troops to attack, with the well cart, bed crossbow, our army, heavy casualties."
Lu Fan fell into deep thought, Sun He's ability, he was not worried, but the north city gate was only 3,000 troops with his old department, and outside the city, there were 20,000 troops waiting for him.
Moreover, the person who commanded the army was Lü Meng, the famous general of Hirayama Echichuro in Jiangdong.
He knew very well that although this person was young, he was not an ordinary person, and it was the sequence of this siege, so he led the sword and shield soldiers, and after escorting the ladder to the bottom of the city wall, he was desperate to storm the city wall with the strength of the mountain.
Under the escort of his personal guards, he glanced at the edge of the city wall, densely packed, countless black-armored soldiers, climbing towards the city wall, the Jiangdong soldiers on the well car, did not take advantage of the situation to enter the city, but condescendingly, shooting the soldiers defending the city with bows and arrows.
"Regardless of the loss, Wu Hou Liu Qi used troops, unlike Xu Yuanzhi's use of soldiers, he regarded the lord as his confidant, this battle, he did not want to break the city, but to damage the elite of our army" Lu Fan's heart sank, although Sun Ce was brave, if he had no soldiers in his hands, he was only a horse.
On the other hand, Liu Qi lacks his own bravery, but he knows how to make good use of others, and any one of the major generals under his command can be in charge alone.
"If all three doors are like this, Hefei, should be abandoned."
Lu Fan looked at the wounded soldiers and reinforcements coming and going around him, running on the road of the city wall, pressing the long sword at his waist, once the city wall was nearly half lost, he had to go to the city to fight in person
