The sound of killing in the city reached the city, shaking everyone who watched and prepared to participate in the battle.

Li Xinchen stood silently under the nest car, watching the flags on the city's head.

The Bashu soldiers are retreating from the city wall in an orderly manner, and the ladders they once desperately climbed have become their tools to push back, and I have to say that sometimes fate likes to play tricks on people.

Not everyone is Chen Zhishen, so it is difficult for the Bashu army to gain a foothold on the city, after all, they are going up through the ladder, and the enemy can quickly rush up to the city wall through the wide upper city trail, and the gap in the middle means that when Cao Xiaoda led the reinforcements to arrive, Li Xinchen had to order a retreat, otherwise the consequences would inevitably be serious.

Rather than blindly holding on to the death and finally discarding nearly 1,000 soldiers on the city, Li Xinchen was more inclined to hurry up and withdraw all the living forces when the enemy's reinforcements had not yet fully arrived. Demoralization can be improved, but the heavy losses of the army are not completely replenished in a short time.

"Chen Zhishen, none of them came down." Pei Zilie stood beside Li Xinchen, looked at the battlefield in front of him, and couldn't help but say worriedly.

As more and more soldiers and horses retreated, it will inevitably be more difficult to break off the city, and Cao Xiaoda will not let people go so generously.

"They'll step down." Li Xinchen said lightly, "The soldiers who went to the city first were all soldiers who went early in the morning, so they were even more tired and almost all of them were injured, which means that those who stayed were the ones who went to the city later." ”

When Li Xinchen said this, Pei Zilie already understood what he meant.

The soldiers of the long-term battle should be at the forefront of the city, after all, there are not many opportunities for formation and substitution on the narrow city wall, and they can only wait for the people in front to fall, and the people behind can rush up, and now these soldiers who are tired of fighting for a long time can go down the city first, which shows that the retreat of the Bashu army on the city wall is still orderly.

Otherwise, it will definitely not be these soldiers who were originally at the forefront who came down first.

At this time, the general flag representing Lu Qing was carried down from the city by a soldier, and the original four flags were reduced to three, although they were all full of holes, but they were still flying proudly on the city.

Compared to the east city wall, which did not break through after a day of hard fighting, the west city wall was able to enter the city in the first attack, which was already very successful, after all, no one had the luxury of taking Xiangyang City in the first attack.

Lu Qing was covered in blood and quickly ran to Li Xinchen's side, and gave his hand directly: "If you fail to break through the city, please forgive the general!" ”

Li Xinchen held him up and said in a cold voice: "Xiangyang can be broken in one day, so I have to think about what is fancy." Don't talk nonsense here, go get the people from the city down! ”

"No!" Lu Qing turned around and went.

And Li Xinchen looked at Pei Zilie, who was eager to try beside him, and bowed slightly: "Dashi, you go to the front to suppress the formation, the retreat is almost over, it is estimated that there are still one or two hundred people in the city, and the three main generals are there, Cao Xiaoda is estimated that he will not let them leave easily." ”

Pei Zilie was not ambiguous, and immediately waved his hand, and a team of crossbowmen quickly followed.

"Thunderbolt, aim at the city gate, three shots!" Li Xinchen immediately ordered.

The Thunderbolt had to temporarily cease fire for fear of injuring friendly troops, and the soldiers around the Thunderbolt once again ran fast, and huge stones roared towards the city gates.

The Bashu soldiers in the city had shrunk and were some distance from the city gate, so as long as they didn't throw bombs with their eyes closed, they would definitely not be injured by mistake.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a stone bullet just swept over Cao Xiaoda's head and crashed into the city gate tower behind him, and the stone bullet rushed in from the second floor of the city gate tower, destroying all the way, and the entire city gate tower shook violently. Because of the huge power of the thunderbolt attack, the gate tower that could be used as a garrison tower during the war was not used, otherwise I don't know how many people would be killed or injured at this time.

Cao Xiaoda pushed away the guards who pounced on him, gasped and looked back at the city gate tower where a big hole had appeared.

And more rocks are still whistling.

At the same time, on the city wall in the distance, Wei Chishun's counterattack was once again forced back, and immediately bursts of arrows shot up from under the city, making it difficult for Yu Chishun to move forward directly for a while.

When Wei Chishun stretched out his hand and pushed away the shield in front of him, there were only corpses left on the city wall, including the Bashu army, the Northern Zhou defenders, and many people in Xiangyang City.

Seven horizontal and eight vertical, a mess.

As for Chen Zhishen's department, where is there still a figure of Chen Zhishen, who only has more than ten people left just now?

Wei Chishun stomped his feet, a little helpless, the arrows shot by the enemy from under the city just now were scattered, but they also made the Northern Zhou soldiers who were advancing a little flustered, and more importantly, the sudden stone bullets completely disrupted the Northern Zhou soldiers who were condescending to shoot arrows on the city gate.

This naturally gave Chen Zhishen and the others the last chance to escape.

The dense arrows once again swooped down on the city, and after all their own people retreated, the crossbowmen of the Bashu army were no longer tied.

"Shield!" Wei Chi Shun picked up the shield on the ground, and more soldiers were suddenly attacked by this arrow, and they all fell down screaming.

And Cao Xiaoda was not affected by the arrows here, he squinted slightly at the Bashu army that was slowly retreating under the city, and sighed softly.

The first attack was to fill in a few trenches and then attack the city walls, the invasion was like fire, the retreat was like the wind, the advance and retreat were well-founded, and more importantly, when the army retreated, all the generals were in the rear of the army and personally broke the rear, which was almost difficult to see in the rest of the army.

After all, the lives of generals are much more important than soldiers.

But this doesn't seem to be the case in this army, after the generals are broken, they can make the soldiers leave more easily and calmly, after all, the generals are their backbone, and their own generals are still behind, what's so terrible?

Obviously, the generals of this army, in such a dangerous and easily defeated situation, did not choose to take the first step, but to do their best to keep the army in order and retreat in turn.

The battle-hardened Cao Xiaoda knows very well that such enemies are the most terrifying, which means that they will expose fewer flaws and be more like a sophisticated war machine, just to be able to send more enemies to hell.

Although Li Xinchen's large-scale attack did not finally break through Xiangyang City, it still caused heavy losses to the entire Xiangyang defenders, and more importantly, the first attack allowed the enemy to land the city for so long, and the morale of any army was a blow to imagination.

At the same time, Li Xinchen also told Cao Xiaoda with evidence of the army's advance and retreat.

This army is not easy to deal with, and for Xiangyang City, Li Xinchen not only wants, but also has this qualification.
