Nearly 100 people were killed and wounded, and Chen Zhi and his white-eared elite soldiers finally killed the city wall. At the same time, Liu Bei in the distance also stopped throwing stones, and Liu Beijun under the city surged up again.

On the city wall, the white-eared elite soldiers under Chen Zhi turned into dead soldiers, like crazy guarding the ladder behind them, protecting the comrades below and rushing up, while many soldiers led by Chen Zhi and Guan Zhang followed the main general and constantly rushed left and right, slaughtering the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall.

Xun Yu in the distance watched all this, although he felt a little hopeless and powerless in his heart, he still calmly commanded the soldiers under his command, gathered the crossbowmen to suppress Guan Zhang and Chen Zhi, the three killing gods, and let the soldiers under his command push the knife carts that had been prepared on the city wall to continuously rush to the soldiers guarding the ladder and plug the loopholes.

In an instant, the battlefield changed from under the city wall to above the city wall, and the situation fell directly to Liu Beijun, but Xun Yu did not panic at all and commanded the army to constantly entangle with Liu Bei's soldiers.

Most of the losses of the attackers in siege warfare occurred when attacking the city wall, and it often took thousands of lives to climb the city wall, while the loss of the defenders was no more than 100 people, occupying an absolute advantage. But once the besieging party kills the city wall, the situation is very different, and Liu Bei lost so much because it was too difficult to attack the city wall. And this time, because the catapult did not distinguish between the enemy and my suicide attack, Cao Jun was caught off guard, so that the elite knife of the Bai'er elite soldiers took the opportunity to kill the city wall and defend the ladder, and Liu Bei's army finally had the possibility of taking the city.

Although Xun Yu constantly commanded the army to block, Guan and Zhang, who had been holding back for a long time, were not easy to kill, and finally killed the city wall, exploded one after another, and slaughtered the defenders frantically. If it's just like this, Xun Yu can still accept it, and send crossbowmen to suppress it to force it back. But Chen's white-eared elite soldiers made Xun Yu feel powerless.

Although there are only a few hundred who rush to the city wall, they stand like a stubborn stone in front of the defenders of no more than 10,000 people, and it often takes four or five Cao soldiers to exchange for the life of a white-eared elite soldier. And the white-eared elite soldiers under the city continued to pour in, more and more, Xun Yu soon realized that the city wall could not be defended.

However, looking at the number of white-eared elite soldiers not far away, Xun Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light. Even if he is defeated, he will also break Liu Bei's arm, the white-eared elite soldiers are Liu Bei's trump card, although Xun Yu gradually lost control of the city wall at this time, but at present, he still firmly has the upper hand, in order to protect his comrades, the white-eared elite soldiers who rushed up did not form a formation at this time, and basically fought separately.

Commanding a large number of soldiers defending the city, Xun Yu ordered the crossbowmen to suppress Guan Zhang and others, and at the same time gathered heavy troops again and again to attack the Baier elite soldiers, which had the meaning of not destroying and not stopping. The bullying Cao army continued to besiege and kill the white-eared elite soldiers who were fighting separately, Chen Zhi saw this scene, his eyes were split, and he frantically led the soldiers to rush towards the besieged white-eared elite soldiers. But in the face of a large number of Cao Jun, there is nothing to do.

The white-eared elite soldiers fell one by one, but Liu Beijun on the city wall became more and more, slowly approaching thousands of people. Seeing this, Xun Yu knew that he had to retreat, and he did not flee in a hurry when he was ready to withdraw the army, but still continued to arrange the formation, shrinking the defense line step by step, and slowly and orderly retreating towards the city.

With the help of countless knife carts and other large instruments placed on the city wall, Xun Yu left behind the corpses of more than 2,000 soldiers, and led the army to successfully withdraw from the city wall and retreat towards the inner city. Just like the urn city, Xun Yu also built an inner city in Changyi City, the height of the city wall is not inferior to the outer city, half of Changyi City is included in it, and all ordnance, grain and grass barracks are placed here.

Liu Beijun finally captured the city wall, and looking at the white-eared elite soldiers around him who suffered heavy casualties, Chen Zhi's heart was extremely heavy. The white-eared elite soldiers under his command can be said to have suffered heavy injuries in this siege, and only more than 1,700 of the 3,000 white-eared elite soldiers can stand up, and many of them are seriously injured.

This is not the most desperate, looking at the inner city in the distance where the height of the city wall is not inferior to the city wall at his feet, Chen Zhi only feels a cold heart. Guan Zhang and the others also felt powerless. With great effort and countless bones, even the white-eared elite soldiers suffered a lot of losses, and the result was that only half of Changyi City was captured.

.....

After breaking through the outer city, Liu Bei did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, because at this time, the army under his command was indeed suffering a lot of losses and low morale, and Liu Bei was silent in the face of an inner city that was also difficult to conquer.

"My lord, we lost more than 6,000 soldiers in this battle, including more than 1,200 white-eared elite soldiers. But fortunately, the Cao army also lost a lot in this battle, definitely no less than 5,000 people, the Cao army stationed in the inner city was less than 10,000 people, and our army still had 40,000 troops. Moreover, the inner city of Changyi did not have as many defensive equipment as the outer city, and we took advantage of the outer city walls, so we could use catapults to continuously attack and consume. Feeling the heavy mood of everyone, Liu Ye stood up and said with a solemn gaze: "Lord, we don't have no chance to win!" ”

Chen Qun also stood up and said, "Lord, what Ziyang said is good. At this point, we have no possibility of turning back, half of the white-eared elite soldiers have been put in, if we withdraw at this time, it is tantamount to digging our own grave! Only by sacrificing one's life can there be a way to live! ”

"Big brother, you give me 10,000 horses! I will take the inner city today! Zhang Fei said irritablely.

"Big brother, a certain wish to be a pioneer!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and said firmly.

"My lord! The white-eared elite soldiers are willing to die to achieve the hegemony of the lord! Chen Zhi, who had been extremely sad and expressionless, knelt on one knee and said loudly with a firm gaze.

"Good! Good! Liu Bei looked moved, and hurriedly helped Chen Zhi up gently, and said with tears in his eyes: "You are very grateful." In that case, let's give up our lives! Let's see if this destiny is mine, or if it's in his Cao Mengde! Rest today, tomorrow we will attack the city again! ”

"No!" Everyone said in unison.

......

"How's it going?" Xun Yu, who led the army to retreat to the inner city, asked the captain who was defending the city.

"Military advisor, the lord has received the news, General Miaocai has led the army to gallop in the starry night, hold on for four more days, and General Miaocai will arrive." The lieutenant said respectfully.

"Four days?" Xun Yu looked at Liu Beijun, who had not retreated in the distance, and the whole army was ready, and muttered.

"Strategist, why don't we just lead the army to withdraw! The enemy is so strong that we can't hold it at all! The lieutenant suggested.

"Withdraw?" Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "Our army has few soldiers, and most of them are foot soldiers. Liu Bei has thousands of cavalry under his command, and there are fierce generals like Guan Zhang, and there is still a glimmer of life in defending the city. If we were to face each other on the plains, how would we resist? I don't care about my life, but what about the Son of Heaven? I must not let it fall into Liu Bei's hands, I must hold on until Miaocai arrives! ”

Xun Yu deeply regretted his carelessness in his heart at this time, he never thought that Liu Bei, who had always been indecisive, was now as if he had changed as a person, and he was so ruthless. I thought that it would not be a problem to garrison Changyi for a month with 20,000 troops, but I never thought that the outer city had been breached in less than ten days, and it was unknown how long the inner city could be defended.

Liu Bei's rapid change caught Xun Yu off guard, and he could only make up for it at this time. Fortunately, Cao Cao's battle in Qingzhou is progressing smoothly, and the overall situation has been laid, and it is no problem to send a support army back to defense, otherwise if Lu Bu and Liu Bei attack from both sides, Cao Cao's fun will be really great.

Whether it was out of loyalty to Cao Cao or loyalty to the Han family, Xun Yu could not hand over the Son of Heaven to Liu Bei. Because Liu Bei is also surnamed Liu, if the Son of Heaven falls on him, with the current situation that all the heroes in the world are ready to be called emperors, Liu Bei will definitely force the Son of Heaven to give in and justifiably call himself the Emperor of Han.
