Chapter 148: Guangling City Broken?

"Hahahaha!!"

Chen Deng saw that the morale of the defenders was high-spirited, and the army was excited, and he was immediately overjoyed, drew his sword, pointed directly at Sun Quan, and shouted: "Sun Quan Xiao'er, I don't want to deceive you when you are young and ignorant, if you have the courage, you will return to the army to attack the city, if you have no courage, you will quickly withdraw to Jiangdong, and replace your brother Sun Bofu to come and talk to me!" The child is arrogant and ignorant, and he does not retreat quickly!! ”

Sun Quan is what kind of person also, he since Sun Ce raised troops to cross the river, he has been following his brother to fight in the north and south, Sun Quan is open and cheerful, benevolent and decisive, advocating chivalry, like to support talents, and also has a reputation for virtue in Jiangdong, Sun Ce will often consult him when he encounters problems, Sun Quan shows talent, sometimes even Sun Ce sighs to himself.

In the land of Jiangdong, Sun Quan is the proud son of heaven, and no one can say a few good words after seeing him!

Sun Quan came to persuade Chen Deng to surrender this time, originally thinking that he wanted to take Guangling without blood, but who wanted to persuade Chen Deng not only failed to persuade Chen Deng, but also let Chen Deng use his words to improve the morale of the army, and by the way, he also sent it to let the family humiliate!

Sun Quan couldn't say that he was suffering, so he could only suffer a dull loss!

When had Sun Quan been so insulted, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and shouted:

"Ah!!h

"Thief, dare you insult me like this!!"

Sun Quan shouted angrily twice, but Chen Deng also knew the truth that if he said too much, he would no longer pay attention to Sun Quan after reaching the goal.

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng saw that Sun Quan suffered such a big loss in front of them, which made people humiliated like this, and they were also a little uneasy in their hearts, you must know that Sun Quan is Sun Ce's precious brother, if Sun Rangce learned about this, would the two of them still have good fruits to eat?

Fortunately, it is not too late to make amends, as long as you can capture Guangling City and capture Chen Deng, you can wash away the humiliation for Sun Quan, Chen Wu and the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said: "Do you want the second general to send troops to attack the city immediately?" ”

Sun Quan sneered twice and said, "Hmph! Chen Dengpifu doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he is really angry with me! Since he wants to die, then I will let him die! ”

"Pass the order, immediately send troops to attack the city, and those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, and the official will be promoted to two levels! Those who capture and kill Chen Deng will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan and promoted to three levels!! ”

"This battle will be under the full command of the two of you, and I will be waiting for your good news here!"

After hearing Sun Quan's reward, even Chen Wu and Xu Sheng were a little moved, and the two of them bowed together and said: "Nuo, I will wait for the order, and I will go here to pass the order, and it will be the general to capture Guangling and capture Chen Deng!" ”

"The general has an order, Chen Dengpifu deserves to die! The army will immediately attack the city, and those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, and the official will be promoted to two levels! Those who capture and kill Chen Deng will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan and promoted to three levels!! ”

"The general has an order, Chen Dengpifu deserves to die! The army will immediately attack the city, and those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, and the official will be promoted to two levels! Those who capture and kill Chen Deng will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan and promoted to three levels!! ”

"The general has an order, Chen Dengpifu deserves to die! The army will immediately attack the city, and those who climb the city wall first will be rewarded with a thousand dollars, and the official will be promoted to two levels! Those who capture and kill Chen Deng will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan and promoted to three levels!! ”

……

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward!

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army are a group of arrogant soldiers, and they don't look at the defenders in Guangling City at all, and now they hear the heavy reward given by Sun Quan, and the hearts of all the soldiers are even hotter, and they are all waiting for the order to attack the city, wanting to go to the city first and then behead Chen Dengbo to get a reward and get promoted!!

After discussing for a while, Chen Wu and Xu Sheng decided to send 6,000 troops to attack the three walls of Guangling County as a test, and when they found out the weak points of the defenders, or the former siege sergeants created an opportunity for them, they personally led the army to attack the city, and strive to break through Guangling City in one fell swoop!

"Catapult, attack !!"

"The front army dispatched 6,000 men to attack the eastern, southern, and northern walls of Guangling City respectively!"

"The general has an order, start the siege !!"

"Knock knock!! Knock knock knock!! Knock knock knock!! ”

……

With the order of Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, the trebuchets at the rear of the military array were launched together, and countless round stone bullets were overwhelmingly rushed towards the city wall of Guangling City, although most of the stone bullets were smashed on the city wall or thrown into the city, but under the huge number, there were still a lot of stone bullets that were smashed on the top of the city, and the bricks and stones at the head of Guangling City were immediately scattered, hitting a lot of defenders in the city, and the rest of the soldiers saw this tragic image and hurriedly dodged, and the defenders at the head of the city were suppressed for a while.

"Kill, !!"

"Brothers, follow me to kill !!"

"At this time, break through the city and capture Chen Deng!!"

……

When the Jiangdong soldiers saw the bearish appearance of the defenders in the city, their morale was immediately boosted, and everyone shouted loudly, and the six thousand Jiangdong soldiers took advantage of this rare gap to rush to Guangling City with shields and ladders!

Guangling City has a moat as a barrier, the narrowest place is also more than ten zhang wide, just by virtue of the ladder Jiangdong Army soldiers have no way to go under the city wall, fortunately, the Jiangdong Army Navy warship is nearby, Chen Wu ordered the Navy soldiers to transfer the Navy warship to park in the moat as an intermediary, and then used the cloud ladder to pave the wooden planks to build a simple pontoon bridge to arrive under Guangling City.

After the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army rushed to the city, the trebuchet in the army did not dare to use it again, after all, the accuracy of this thing is not very good, most of them smashed to the city wall and were catapulted under the city of Guangling, if you continue to fire stone bullets, maybe the killed and injured friendly troops will cause greater casualties than the defenders!

The defenders of the city saw that there were no stone projectiles, and hurriedly got up and looked outside the city, and the general of the city army saw that the Jiangdong sergeant had been killed, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "The archers listen to the order and shoot the enemy soldiers under the city freely!" The rest threw rolling wood and stones, and threw fire bombs to burn the pontoon bridges of enemy ships!! ”

With the order of the head of the city, the city immediately fired ten thousand arrows like a dark cloud and shrouded the head of the Jiangdong army, although the Jiangdong army officers and soldiers have tried their best to protect their bodies with shields, but there are too many feather arrows at the head of the city, and the endless feather arrows still shot a lot of Jiangdong army soldiers.

However, the Jiangdong Army soldiers are not afraid of life and death, although they were shot and killed by the defenders of the city, but the follow-up soldiers still went forward to Guangling City one after another, under the Jiangdong Army's hard work, soon there were white Jiangdong Army soldiers came to the city wall, Jiangdong Army soldiers arrived at the city, and quickly erected a ladder and began to climb the city wall.

"Bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang!! ……”

The defenders of the city finally transported the oil altar at this time, and the oil of a jar was thrown down, and it was smashed on the pontoon bridge and the warship of the Jiangdong Army, fortunately, the distance of the warship was relatively far, and it took a lot of arm strength and accuracy to throw the oil altar to the warship, so the warship was not hit by the oil altar.

"Boom!! Rumble!!! Rumble!!! ……”

One by one torches were thrown down from the city, the Jiangdong Army pontoon bridge under the city and many Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers were immediately ignited by the fire oil, the fire that rushed to the sky was blazing, the Jiangdong Army soldiers gathered here hurriedly ran around, these fleeing soldiers had no time to use shields to protect themselves when they fled, and soon they were shot to the ground by the feather arrows shot from all sides, and the rest of the Jiangdong Army soldiers saw this, and hurriedly returned to the opposite bank along the pontoon bridge, and the warships parked in the river also hurriedly turned to the shore, so as not to be ignited by the fire oil!

"Bell!! Clang!!! Clang!!! ”

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng saw that the defenders resisted resolutely, Guangling City could not go down with a drum, this time the temptation had failed, and hurriedly Mingjin collected troops to reduce the battle damage, and the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers quickly withdrew to the military formation, but although the Jiangdong Army withdrew in time, it still left two or three hundred corpses under Guangling City.

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng saw the failure of the tentative attack, and hurriedly went to the place where Sun Quan was stationed to ask for guilt, and the two of them beat their horses to Sun Quan's horse, and bowed together: "General, we can't take Guangling in one go, and please punish the general!" ”

Sun Quan also saw the scene of the siege just now, and knew that these soldiers had done their best, but the Guangling defenders were well prepared to resist resolutely, and their own soldiers and horses were in a hurry to attack, so the bloody city could not capture the city, Sun Quan understood in his heart, and naturally he would not punish Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, otherwise who else could he use to attack the city for him next?

Sun Quan stepped forward to help Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and said softly: "I have seen the battle of Fangcai, and the soldiers have not missed anything if they are desperately moving forward, but Chen Deng has already taken precautions so he couldn't go down in one go, this is not the fault of the two of you!" The defenders of Guangling are well prepared, I wonder if the two of you have any other good way to break the city? ”

Chen Wu pondered for a moment and said, "General, I have a plan to break the city, but I just want to lose some naval warships, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Sun Quan turned to look at Chen Wu and said, "I don't know what the general's good plan is?" ”

Chen Wu replied: "The moat of Guangling is wide, our army cannot directly attack the city, if we build a pontoon bridge, the enemy army has fire oil bombs that can burn our army's pontoon bridge, which is extremely unfavorable for our army to attack the city!" Therefore, if you want to attack Guangling City, you must first fill in the moat, but the Guangling moat is extremely wide and the water flow is urgent, it must not be easy to fill it, our army is in a hurry to attack the city, and there is not so much time to slowly fill the moat, which is the most important part of this battle! ”

"However, the last general may have a plan that can allow my army to quickly fill in the moat outside Guangling City. In the past, when Yuan Yao attacked Huangzhou, he used a warship to load boulders to block the river, and then asked the sergeants to go to fill the moat. ”

"The situation facing our army now is similar to that of Yuan Yaozhi against Huangzhou, and our army may be acting with its strategy! The general can order the naval warship to load the boulder and sink into the moat, and then use the trebuchet as a cover, and the army will go out to fill the moat, so that the moat outside Guangling City can be filled in the shortest time! ”

When Sun Quan heard Chen Wu's words, he also remembered Yuan Yao's example, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's just a few warships, as long as our army captures Guangling City, all losses can be recovered, so we will act according to the general's policy!" ”

Sun Quan said as he untied a token from his waist, then taught the token in Chen Wu's hand, and then said, "The general can take my token to dispatch the naval warship!" ”

When Chen Wu heard that Sun Quan had agreed to his plan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The last general has an order to capture this city as a general!! ”

Chen Wu came to the place where the naval army garrison, picked out more than ten old ships of all sizes, and then ordered the sergeant to find some boulders to load on the boat, after Chen Wu explained, these warships full of boulders immediately set off and drove straight to the moat outside Guangling City, the sailor sergeant with the help of the cover of the cabin and shield, quickly rowed the warship to the predetermined position, these soldiers chiseled the warship, and hurriedly swam to the opposite bank and returned to the military formation under the cover of the sergeant.

More than ten warships loaded with boulders slowly sank into the river, and after the flow of the moat was blocked, it immediately slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chen Wu saw that this method was effective, and immediately rejoiced in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Trebuchet preparation, target Guangling City!" All the soldiers received their own pockets, filled with sand and prepared to fill the moat! ”

The 20,000 troops moved in unison, and soon filled 100,000 bags of sand, Chen Wu saw that the soldiers were ready, and shouted loudly: "Trebuchet, launch, suppress the defenders of the city!" ”

"Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!! ”

"Bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang!! Bang bang bang!! ”

……

Countless stone bullets smashed into the head of Guangling City again, this time the defenders were already prepared, seeing the stone bullets coming, they quickly got up and leaned against the female wall, and then began to resign themselves to praying that the stone bullets would not hit their side! Countless stone bullets came in an instant, and the head of Guangling City was suddenly messy again, and the defenders were frightened by the power of the stone bullets, and they all shrank down and didn't dare to get up!

Chen Wu saw that the defenders of the city were once again suppressed by trebuchets, and hurriedly ordered again: "All the troops obey the order and immediately go to fill the moat, five bags per person, all of them must be thrown into the moat, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!! ”

After Chen Wu finished shouting, he set an example, he picked up a few bags of sand and ran towards the moat, the Jiangdong army soldiers saw that their generals were so brave, and they all shouted and lifted the sandbags around them and charged towards the moat, as the bags of sand and soil were thrown into the moat, the water flow of the moat became slower and slower, and the bottom of the river became shallower and shallower!

However, at this time, the defenders of the city also discovered the movement of the Jiangdong Army, and a captain of Guangling County saw that the Jiangdong Army was taking advantage of the situation to fill the moat, and hurriedly shouted: "The Jiangdong Army is filling the moat, and the archers listen to the order and rely on the female wall to shoot the enemy with all their might!! ”

Although the generals at the head of the city reacted, but he also overestimated the combat strength of his soldiers, to bend the bow to counterattack under the bombardment of trebuchets, which requires a very high degree of courage, it is obvious that the Guangling defenders who have not experienced a major war for several years can not do this, all the soldiers are not thinking of this person's words, still like quails under the female wall, only a few brave soldiers try to bend their bows to shoot the Jiangdong soldiers and horses under the city.

However, these sporadic counterattacks had no way to stop the offensive of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, 20,000 Jiangdong troops swarmed up, and soon threw 100,000 sandbags into the moat, and the moat outside Guangling City was filled into a pool of water by the sandbags thrown into the Eastern Army, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses could finally directly cross the moat and attack the walls of Guangling City!

Sun Quan stood at the back of the military formation, and when he saw that the moat had been filled in in such a short time, he was immediately overjoyed, laughed a few times, looked at Chen Wu and praised loudly: "Hahahaha, good!" General Chen is really brave and strategic, and now that the moat has been filled, it is easy to come to this Guangling City, right? ”

Chen Wu heard Sun Quan's praise, bowed down and said: "The last general thanked the general for his praise, Chen Deng relied on nothing more than the moat outside the city, and now that the moat has been filled, this Guangling City will be captured within half a day!" ”

Xu Sheng saw that Chen Wu had made meritorious deeds and he had not gained anything, he pondered for a moment, bowed forward, and said without showing weakness: "General, the last general is willing to lead the army to attack the city for the vanguard, and the general will break the city and capture Chen Deng!" ”

When Sun Quan heard Xu Sheng's words, he smiled slightly in his heart, the reason why he praised Chen Wu in front of Xu Sheng was to arouse Xu Sheng's good heart, and the two generals would compete for merit, which could also stimulate the morale and combat power of the army!

Sun Quan stepped forward and gently patted Xu Sheng's shoulder twice, and said: "Wen Xiang (Xu Sheng's words) don't worry, this time my army will attack with all its might, and we will definitely take Guangling City down!" Let's send the front army to test first, and when the fighters appear, you and General Chen are leading the army to attack its weak points, and then we will be able to break the city in one fell swoop! Don't worry, when you take Guangling City, I will definitely take credit for the two of you in front of my brother!" ”

Chen Wu and Xu Sheng arched their hands and said: "No, we will receive the order, and we will live up to the general's trust!" ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Okay, let's prepare to attack the city first, this time I will personally command!" ”

"General, please!"

"The general has an order, prepare to attack the city, and the army will form a formation!"

"Trebuchet ready, siege machine ready!"

……

With the issuance of military orders, the Jiangdong army was quickly ready to attack the city, Sun Ce saw that the soldiers and horses were ready, and shouted: "Order, siege!" Nine thousand soldiers and horses were dispatched to attack the three walls!! ”

"The general has an order, the army will attack the city, kill !!"

"Knock knock!! Knock knock knock!! Knock knock knock!! ”

"Meritorious service is at this time, kill, break through Guangling City, capture and kill Chen Deng!"

……

The shouting and killing sound and war drums in the sky roared, nine thousand Jiangdong Army soldiers pushed all kinds of siege equipment towards Guangling City, as the distance slowly approached, the Jiangdong Army soldiers soon reached the range of bow and arrow shooting, the trebuchet in the rear also stopped in order to avoid accidental injury, and the defenders at the head of the city hurriedly got up and wanted to counterattack!

However, at this time, the Jiangdong Army had already prepared, and the Jiangdong Army archers on the well car saw the defenders showing their heads, and immediately a rain of arrows splashed away, and dozens of defenders were caught off guard and were immediately shot to the ground!

"Shield cover, archers rely on shields and female walls to counter !!"

"Fight back, fight back quickly, think about the family behind you, do you want the Jiangdong army to enter the city and then burn the jade!!

"Brothers, we have killed and injured countless Jiangdong Army soldiers, if the city is broken, we will definitely die, and all the soldiers will kill the enemy with me!!"

……

Fortunately, although the damage caused by the bow and arrow was very large, the momentum it carried was far less powerful than the stone bullets, and the defenders quickly calmed down and began to shoot with the help of shields and the cover of the female wall and the Jiangdong Army archers on the well cart.

The archers of the defending army want to suppress the archers of the Jiangdong Army, and the care of the rest of the Jiangdong Army will be much less, and then this rare gap, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army quickly pushed the ladder to the city of Guangling, and the ladders took advantage of the situation to set up the city wall, and countless Jiangdong Army soldiers began to risk death to climb the city, wanting to fight the reward of the first city!

"Roll wood and stone ready, fire oil, ready!"

"Throwing !!"

……

Countless rolling wood and stones and fire oil were splashed down, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were smashed down in an instant, one by one the torches were thrown down, and the ladders and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were ignited, and the wails and screams of the soldiers suddenly sounded together, and the surrounding soldiers of the Jiangdong Army saw this, and could only hold back their tears to relieve the pain of their comrades!

Fortunately, this time the Jiangdong soldiers filled in the moat before attacking the city, although there are a lot of fire oil altars of the defenders, but it is impossible to cover the entire city wall, the Jiangdong soldiers have a lot of space to move, and after the soldiers dodge the place where the fire started, they will soon start the siege again!

Under the life-and-death struggle of both sides, the battle between the two armies around the city wall of Guangling City soon came to a white-hot stage!

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army are not afraid of life and death to climb the city, the combat power of the Guangling defenders is slightly inferior after all, and soon there are Jiangdong Army soldiers along the ladder to the head of the city, but after all, there are too few soldiers on the city wall, outnumbered, the Jiangdong Army soldiers who climbed to the head of the city were soon strangled again!

However, there are constantly Jiangdong Army soldiers on the top of the city, which also brings great casualties and pressure to the defenders of the city, and the days of the Guangling defenders are becoming more and more difficult!

Sun Quan and Chen Wu and Xu Sheng were sitting in the rear of the military formation, and when they saw that there were constantly sergeants rushing to the city, and the defense of the Guangling garrison inevitably appeared a few gaps under the messy scheduling, the three of them were suddenly overjoyed!!

"Hahahaha, our army is brave, and the fighter plane has finally arrived!!"

Sun Quan looked at Chen Wu and Xu Sheng, and shouted: "The fighter plane has appeared, you two will quickly attack the city, and this time you will definitely capture Guangling City!! ”
