It was dark, and torches were already lit above the city.
Li Yan ordered the sergeant to cook three pots of pork in the city, and the aroma continued to waft towards the outside of the city, and the main camp was set up, and the sergeant Chen Zhi, who went to the nearby mountains and forests to cut wood, was hungry and exhausted, looking at the boiling heat under the fire at the city, he could only be full of envy.
"Array."
I don't know when, Chen Zhi had already led the army to the front of the battle, and the four thousand foot soldiers, commanded by Deng Fang and Zhuo Ying, were already standing in front of him.
"The two generals, the military division will order, we must not lose Fangling, today, only to fight to the death, after dawn, Jiangdong reinforcements will come, we only have these three hours tonight to break this city."
"We will fight to the death."
"Fight to the death."
"Fight to the death."
Thousands of sergeants shouted in unison, the momentum shook the heavens and the earth, and the Jiangdong sergeants who were still eating with dishes and chopsticks at the head of the city were also awakened, and they put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another, picked up swords and guns and gathered at the battlements of the city wall.
"General."
At this time, a sergeant brought the fried meat with bamboo shoots in the bowl to Li Yan, he took off a piece of cloth in the armor and covered the meal, "Tell all the sergeants to repel the enemy army, and then eat, don't lose the broth in the pot, give those guys outside the city a sip to drink while it is hot, and then you can boil the pot with hot oil, and then we will let the enemy troops outside the city roast the fire this big night." ” "Whoa."
When Li Yan walked to the battlement of the city wall with his long knife, the sergeant holding a shield and a ladder outside the city had already rushed towards it.
"Huhu" one by one the sergeants carrying sandbags threw sandbags into the moat, although Fangling City is small, but it also has the convenience of building water, and a moat is also a few steps wide.
"Roll the sasshole."
The rolling stone the size of a grinding plate, a strong man is still a little difficult to hold, and the rolling wood is as thick as a person hugging, and it is smashed down from the city head a few zhang high, and the power should not be underestimated.
The light ones broke off a few ribs, and the heavy ones broke their heads and bleed, and their brains burst on the spot.
"Kill."
But taking advantage of the attention of these soldiers carrying sandbags, the sergeants who stepped on the escalator to cross the bridge had already carried the escalator under the city wall.
The barbs of the ladder hung at the mouth of the battlements of the city wall, and soon the sergeants pushed it away with the hooks, and the rolling stone sassals were accompanied by a large spoonful of fragrant broth spilled on the city, and countless sergeants covered their faces and hands under their helmets while enjoying the fragrance and wailed, and their bodies were covered with large red and swollen burns.
Chen Zhi stared at the head of the city, and at the moment when the brigade of foot soldiers rushed across the moat, Li Yan ordered the arrows to be released, and the arrows were fired in unison, hundreds of arrows were aimed at the city, and the power of the oblique shot could be seen, almost a torrential rain in the summer wilderness, and there was nowhere to dodge.
Pieces of sergeants fell, like straw, and their lives were cut off by arrows.
But after all, someone had the audacity to rush to the bottom of the city wall.
They began to climb from the ladder, but before they arrived, the ladder was lifted away, and the whole person was knocked to the ground by the ladder, and when they just wanted to get up, a huge black shadow fell from the sky and smashed it into a blur of flesh and blood.
"Change the rocket."
Seeing that there were more and more sergeants climbing the ladder, Li Yan sneered, and a lit torch was immediately handed to the archers at the head of the city, igniting the oilcloth on their arrows.
Another wave of arrows fell outside the city, and many sergeants fell down again, but this time, there were more than a dozen sergeants directly pushing three large iron pots on the head of the city, pushing the boiling oil downward.
The soldiers in the city were moved by the smell of frying, but when they thought about what it was, they almost felt sick.
"Throw down all the torches from the city."
Seeing that the oil in the oil pot had touched the oilcloth on many rockets, and the flames were already burning under the city, Li Yan suddenly pulled out a torch at the battlement and threw it down.
The fire swept through the area from the moat to the city wall in an instant, and the hundreds of soldiers who were based in this vicinity were instantly plunged into a wave of fire.
"Ah, it's fire" "It's so hot, let's go" The screams came and went, and Chen Zhili was behind the army, as if he had expected this place for a long time, and with a wave of his hand, a large group of sergeants immediately stepped forward with sandbags and threw mud and sand across the moat towards the opposite bank.
The moist river sand fell on the opposite bank, and Chen Zhi's voice immediately sounded, "Cover your nose and cover your mouth, lie down." ” The mud and sand fell on the bodies of these soldiers, and the flames on many of the sergeants disappeared, as did the flames that had spread towards the moat.
"Continue the siege."
Chen ordered the sergeants carrying sandbags to rush to the city under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, and soon, a large area of river sand spread out, successfully extinguishing the fire waves, and many sergeants climbed the ladder again.
Gradually, many foot soldiers climbed the city, but after they landed in the city, they were stabbed down again by a few spears poking out of the battlements, and even if they could cross the battlements, they were thrown down as sassers after a while.
In two hours, there were 2,000 more corpses on and off the city.
Chen Zhi was still standing outside the city, watching the brigade of foot soldiers come forward, and as far as he could see, Zhuo Ying was still directing the battle with a bandage wrapped in one hand.
The sky gradually brightened, and Chen Zhi gritted his teeth, "Wait for the general to personally lead the soldiers and go to the city." ” As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him.
"Report to the general, I found a brigade of Jiangdong soldiers ten miles away."
"How is it possible" Chen Zhi's face changed greatly, how long has it been, there is still an hour before dawn, why did the Jiangdong Army arrive from the camp in Nanjun to Fangling, it would take at least one or two hours to arrive, could it be that they did not stop killing here "Withdraw."
Chen Zhi gritted his teeth and had to order the withdrawal of the army with a wave of his hand.
At the same time, according to this, there were sergeants of a brigade for dozens of miles, marching in a hurry in the night.
Peng Shi rode his horse to Zhuge Liang's side, "Join the army, why don't Lord Taishou go with us" After driving out of the Nanjun camp, Zhuge Liang changed his mind and asked his brother Zhuge Jin to follow Feng Xi's light horse, and now he has walked all night and one day, but he is missing.
"Wu Wei secretly reported that Lord Taishou still needs to ride to Zigui and lead an army to help Fangling first."
"Zigui also has reinforcements" "You can hear that in the past, Wu Hou joined the Huiji, and Dong, He and other generals welcomed the Guishi clan with the Huiji" "The lord is a clan relative of the Han family, benevolence and righteousness are all over the south of the Yangtze River, and my Jiangdong Erlang should follow, but this Zigui is local, there are many wealthy families, after our army captured Nanjun, Lu Sima also sent officials to recruit troops, but it was in vain, that is, Zigui County officials and officials appointed local wealthy scholars, how to come to reinforcements" Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head slightly, "But it is the soldiers of these wealthy clans." ” Peng Shize's horse was half a horse behind Zhuge Liang, "The intention of joining the army, these local wealthy families intend to return to our army" "Wu Hou ordered the rectification of the southern county, the county is jade, the first spring of the second class of Jinshi, since taking office, the southern counties led the garrison soldiers to start the field, and now the government is about to return to Zigui, these local wealthy families, if they are not willing to donate money and grain to add the lord, they can only see the fertile land reclaimed more and more, their tenants, also willing to rent the land for farming, then, their fertile land is no one to cultivate, it has become a wasteland, their generation may be worry-free, the money collected in the past is enough to need, but the wealthy family wants to become a wealthy family, must be passed on from generation to generation, their heirs, but they still have to be supported by these tenants, how not to hurry. ” Peng Shi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Zigui is close to Ba County, if the persecution is tight, I'm afraid" "You can know that Zhao Wei, the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang, is trying to stand on his own feet according to Ba County."

Peng Shi's eyes widened, and then he suddenly realized, "Liu Zhang's father and son have been in Yizhou for ten years, and they have long been deeply rooted, and Zhao Wei wants to rebel, when he is killing himself, the local wealthy family will inevitably refuse to follow, so he can only take refuge in Wu Jiangdong." ” Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, "Even if Fang Ling loses the enemy, there is a secret letter from Wu Wei to report at any time, how does General Peng know that among the wealthy clans, there is Wu Wei in Jiangdong" Peng Shi only felt a cold sweat on his back, "Wu Wei, really my Jiangdong sharp weapon." ” Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes and was noncommittal about this sentence, when the world is in turmoil, it must be a sharp weapon:
