"Boom~"

Huge stone projectiles slashed through the void, and with a violent roar, they shattered the walls and shattered into the sky.

Burst~

With a muffled sound, the helmet of one of the generals next to him was smashed into it by flying rubble, and the helmet made of metal was dented by a large section, and the tooth-aching sound of bone cracking could be heard, and no matter how strong the helmet was, it could not provide any protection in the face of this force.

Zhang Liao's expression was indifferent, on such a battlefield, if you want to survive, sometimes you have to rely on luck, and even if you attack him, you may not be able to take it.

The battle of Hefei City has begun since the morning, and it has been more than an hour now, the other party's siege troops have not come up, but they are using the huge catapult to continuously bombard the city wall, Rao is the Hefei city wall is strong, it is difficult for three hundred catapults to turn their strength, and they can still make people feel that the city wall under their feet is trembling.

When did Koto have such a powerful siege machine?

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and looked at the catapult that was attacking this side from afar, the other party's catapult could reach the city wall on this side, but it was difficult for the thunderbolt in Hefei City to fall on the enemy's military formation!

Although the casualties were not large, most of the time they were injured or directly killed by flying rubble, but this kind of attack was a fatal blow to morale.

The well in the rear finally began to move, but this small action made Cao Jun who was defending the city feel a sense of relief, after all, the feeling of being beaten passively was not good, even if it did not cause them too many casualties.

The feeling of confusion and nervousness that is not sure which piece of gravel will fall on his head or body at any time, not to mention ordinary soldiers, is Zhang Liao, and he also feels that today's physical consumption is many times that of the past.

"Can a bed crossbow hit those catapults?" Zhang Liao brought in a craftsman in charge of the city's defense equipment, and his voice was a little impatient, and he had to find a way to destroy those trebuchets.

"Back to the general, the bed crossbow can indeed be shot, but I think that I should shoot the well first at this time!" The craftsman bowed.

"Hand over to the Thunderbolts to attack, and immediately aim all the bed crossbows at the catapult designs." Zhang Liao shook his head, this kind of deterrent weapon is sometimes more dangerous than substantial damage.

Zhang Liao roughly estimated that the height of the chariot was very high, even higher than the city wall, and the rushing car, the ladder and the well below were also a little different from the siege equipment in the Central Plains.

In the ensuing battle, Zhang Liao understood the horror of these siege equipment, and he never dreamed that the Jiangdong Army, which was powerless to attack in the face of the defense of Hefei City, would burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness this time.

Or it's not that they're strong, but that those siege weapons, both in terms of solidity and blocking function, far surpass those siege weapons used in Jiangdong before.

This is Jingzhou's siege weapon!

Zhang Liao had some speculation in his heart, the appearance of Zhao Yun and the siege of Jiangdong suddenly became so sharp, even if Liu Bei did not directly support Sun Quan's soldiers and horses, but these weapons must also come from Liu Bei.

There is no evidence, but Zhang Liao is basically sure in his heart that if Sun Quan had such a sharp siege weapon before, he would not have to end it hastily after only half a month.

"Buzz~"

Boom boom boom~

As soon as the well was within range, the catapults that had been prepared on the city walls began to wield, and the stone projectiles continued to bombard the huge target that could barely move, while the bed crossbows also aimed at the catapults farther away.

"Woo woo woo~"

The roaring sound of trumpets and drums sounded in the rear, the soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong Army began to move forward, and the archers on both sides began to pour rain of arrows into the other side's camp.

Liu Beijun's archers have an ultra-long range, which has been verified in several frictions between the two sides before, although Cao Cao has also been ordering craftsmen to find the secret, but unfortunately although it has been improved several times, the range of Cao Jun's bow and arrow has never reached the height of Liu Beijun, but now against the Jiangdong Army, Cao Jun's improved bow and arrow range advantage is reflected, although the gap is not very large, but then the condescending advantage, can still prevail in the bow and arrow confrontation.

Just when Zhang Liao was about to give full play to this advantage, the Wu army above the well also began to release arrows, but their range was farther than that of Cao's army, which made Zhang Liao a little troubled, so he could only order the thunderbolt to speed up the attack and put down these wells.

It's just that the accuracy of the thunderbolt is not high, and the enemy's wells are unusually strong, and it is useless to be hit by stone bullets, although the speed is not fast, but it also protects the Wu army in the rear.

The smell of blood began to permeate the city wall, and it was not something difficult to accept for Zhang Liao, who had long been familiar with this smell, but the current situation was indeed a little unfavorable for Cao Jun, and this was the first time that there was an unspeakable sense of powerlessness in the battle with Jiangdong.

As the shaft was approaching the city wall, the planks in front of it, which had been folded with bearings, suddenly opened, and it seemed to match each other.

"Kerose!" Zhang Liao didn't say a word, grabbed a fire oil tank and threw it at the opposite well, and at the same time took the torch that boiled the fire oil and threw it over, in an instant, a sea of fire appeared on the well, and the Jiangdong army hiding in the well could not continue to fight, in a terrible howl, some people jumped directly from the well more than three zhang high, and some people wanted to force up and were shot one by one by the crossbowmen arranged everywhere.

But this is only one, more wells are getting closer, and not everyone has the ability of Zhang Liao to throw the oil tank two feet away.

One by one, the wells caught fire and were gradually engulfed in flames, but there were also wells on the city wall, and those Jiangdong soldiers pounced on them like wolves and tigers, and fought with the Cao army on the city wall.

The ladder also leaned up at this time, and the ladder that seemed to be broken was extremely stable.

Zhang Liao constantly walked on the city wall, commanded the soldiers to fight, and when he encountered fierce places, he personally killed the Wu army.

The soldiers of the Wu army who saw Zhang Liao flew up and were slashed to the ground by Zhang Liao's backhand.

Siege warfare, to put it bluntly, is still added with human lives, even if there are siege equipment provided by Jingzhou, and even let the Jingzhou army fight, put aside some strange tricks, return to the regular battle mode, all of them use their own human lives to continuously consume the enemy's defense, until the enemy's defense limit is broken with human lives.

So under normal circumstances, the gap between the losses of the two sides will be very large, at this time consciousness, mentality and fighting spirit are the most important, in this regard, in fact, Jiangdong's army is generally inferior to Cao's army, which is manifested on the battlefield, that is, in the case of obviously there has been an opportunity to tear open a gap, it is still killed by Cao Jun several times, Jiangdong Army, which is good at water warfare, even if it begins to pay attention to the training of the army during this time, but it still can't be compared with Cao Jun, who has fought for many years.

In one day, more than 200 Jiangdong troops died in the hands of the rear overseers, and finally in the evening sunshine, accompanied by the sound of gold from the rear, they stepped on the corpses of their own soldiers and retreated to the camp.

Although the city was not breached, at least this time, the Jiangdong army saw hope, just a little bit, they were able to break through the city, and in today's siege battle, although the loss is not small, but it is always the Jiangdong army that presses the other party to fight, which makes the Jiangdong generals inspired, maybe tomorrow, it will also take the day after tomorrow to break through this strong city.

"I don't know how many siege weapons there are in Jingzhou?" When Sun Quan invited Zhao Yun to a banquet, he seemed to inadvertently ask about such a topic, Jingzhou's siege equipment made Sun Quan a little greedy, and at the same time felt threatened, his own siege equipment was destroyed by one less one, and Liu Bei's side was constantly made by energy, if Liu Bei attacked Wu in the future, in the face of such siege weapons, could Jiangdong defend it?

Zhao Yun smiled when he heard this: "Yun Jiu is in Changsha, and he is not very clear about this. ”

This is already Liu Beijun's secret, how can it be easily revealed to others? Even if the two sides are allies now, it can't be.

Somehow in my mind, I remembered Liu Yi's original words, the so-called allies are enemies who cannot be eliminated for the time being and have common enemies.

At that time, I felt a little funny when I heard this, Liu Yi was somewhat uninhibited in his private conversations, but now Zhao Yun couldn't help but agree with Liu Yi's words, in the past two days, how many times has Sun Quan obtained information about Jingzhou with himself?

After all, he is no longer the stunned young man he was when he was young, and Zhao Yun's answer is also leaky, even if the information about Jingzhou is a bad street, it must not be passed out of his mouth.

Sun Quan was a little helpless, he had already determined that Zhao Yun was Liu Bei's diehard faction, such a person could not be dug up in a short period of time, but he was still extremely friendly to Zhao Yun, he couldn't now, it didn't mean he couldn't in the future.

After thinking about it, Sun Quan smiled and said, "But I don't know if Uncle Huang can give some more ladders and wells?" Today, it was damaged a lot by that Liao, of course, Lone will not be in vain, you can buy it. ”

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "King Wu can personally write to my lord, these things cannot be given privately." ”

Sun Quan nodded, this time it was not a cliché, he really had the intention to carry out some military cooperation with Liu Bei, not only these siege equipment, weapons and armor, as long as Liu Bei was willing to sell, Sun Quan wanted to buy, seeing that Zhao Yun was difficult to negotiate here, Sun Quan personally wrote to Liu Bei after preparing for this battle, to see if the two sides could reach long-term cooperation through this layer of alliance relationship.

Next, Jiangdong's offensive was more fierce, for ten days in a row, the strong city defense of Hefei City was even blasted open a few cracks, Hefei's defense has reached the limit, and finally in the morning of the thirteenth day of Sun Quan's siege, the city gate that has been sealed was knocked open by a rushing car, even if Zhang Liao and Man Pet tried their best to block, in the end it was difficult to reverse the end of the city break, so they had to protect Man Pet to fight out of the encirclement, retreat to Shouchun to re-garrison!
