Chen Wu heard Huang Ergou say this, and dissuaded: "The bed crossbow is a sharp weapon for our army to deter the enemy hundreds of steps away, what is the point of sacrificing range?" ”

Huang Ergou was about to explain again, but Han Xuan stopped and said: "The improvement of siege equipment will be discussed in the future, we have always only focused on siege and neglected to defend the city. It seems that some weapons for defending the city will be developed. ”

Yuan Shujun barracks, Sun Ce and Qiao Rui were still discussing how to attack the city, Qiao Rui said: "Pass the order, send soldiers to transport soil to build earth mountains, erect cloud ladders, build flying bridges, and approach the city wall of Anhui City." ”

Sun Ce persuaded and said: "General, this method is time-consuming and laborious, it is better to take advantage of the morale of our army and use bows and crossbows and stone cannons to attack, and you can win a quick battle." ”

Qiao Rui said angrily: "Sun Ce, a certain is the main general, why did you disobey the military order?" ”

Cheng Pu tried to persuade Sun Ce, but Sun Ce had to lead the army to prepare. Most of Sun Ce's soldiers were the old troops left by Sun Jian, and Qiao Rui was not distressed at all, so he let them be cannon fodder to attack the city first.

Sun Ce led the soldiers to push the ladder and rush to the city wall of Anhui City, Han Xuan's Zhang Zhao and Lu Fan had already prepared batches of bows and arrows and radium rolling wood, and the rain of arrows in the sky came quickly, and Sun Ce's army suffered heavy casualties before he rushed to the city.

Sergeant Sun Ce approached the city wall with two Linchong Lu chariots, a five-story siege tower with eight wheels. The lowest level is the soldiers who push the cart forward, and the other four layers are filled with siege soldiers. The vehicle is about 12 meters high, 6 meters wide and 8 meters long.

Sun Cejun's rushing car took advantage of its height to shoot arrows directly into the city from the car, and Han Xuanjun suffered heavy casualties. Han Xuan hurriedly asked the soldiers to break through the two rushing carts to prevent them from approaching the city wall, destroying the female wall, and directly attacking the defenders on the city wall.

Han Xuanjun's bed crossbow shot at Sun Ce's sergeant on the rushing tower at such a close distance, accurately penetrating several soldiers through his body and then taking them down and falling to his death.

Huang Zhong led the archers to light rockets and shoot rockets at the rushing soldiers, and the wood outside the rushing vehicles was covered with armor. The rocket couldn't light the two rushing cars at all, so Han Xuan asked the herald to tell Lu Fan to let him transport the oil over, but the oil didn't come after a long time.

Sun Cejun was about to climb the city wall, Huang Ergou and the soldiers of the Seven Killing Battalion pushed a few mini catapults on the city wall, although the power and range of this catapult were very limited, but the medium and short-range combat was acceptable, because it was rarely used, so it was not mass-produced.

A few mini catapults slightly blocked the approaching of the rushing car, and Han Xuan personally went to the logistics department to urge it, but it turned out that Zhang Zhao had deducted the oil from it. Han Xuan didn't care so much, and directly led someone to transport the oil away in front of Zhang Zhao, and the city was almost unable to hold it, so what kind of benevolence and righteousness did he care?

Huang Zhong's longbow was opened in succession, and two arrows, three arrows, and four arrows were continuously shot at Sun Cejun's army, and the arrows were not in vain to shock the enemy. However, not every soldier has as good archery as Huang Zhong.

In addition to being equipped with various spears and spears, Sun Cejun's chariot was also loaded with heavy weapons such as strong bows and crossbows. At this time, they all fought back, and the soldiers of Han Xuan on the city wall fell down like wheat.

Han Xuan led people to bring a large number of oil canisters, and asked the soldiers to throw them on the rushing car, and rows of rockets were fired, and there was a sea of fire on the rushing car. However, there was still Sun Cejun's death squad wearing heavy armor and rushing over, looking at the ignited rushing car, Chen Wu said to Han Xuan: "If you attack with water again, the heat will rise and shrink." ”

Han Xuan asked the soldiers to splash water on the rushing car, and Sun Ce's soldiers thought that Han Xuanjun was going to save them, so a large amount of cold water was poured on Sun Cejun's rushing car and the death squad soldiers wearing iron armor, and their iron armor began to crack.

And the rushing car gradually cracked, and Han Xuan's sergeant shot another rain of arrows, and the two rushing cars were successfully destroyed. The sergeant Sun Ce who rushed into the car fled back in terror, and Sun Ce killed several deserters before forcing them back to the battlefield.

Under the city of Anhui, there were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, but Sun Ce was unmoved, and he and Huang Gai and Han Dang led their own troops to block the back road of the siege soldiers. Sun Cejun had no choice but to continue to push the ladder to attack the city, and the two sides fought a fierce battle.

Seeing that Sun Ce's army was about to attack the city wall, Qiao Rui ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Qiao Rui thought to himself that although Sun Jian's old department was loyal to the Sun family, they were all elites after all, and if they were all broken, he would definitely be blamed by Yuan Shu when he went back.

Sun Ce walked into the big tent and threw his helmet to the ground angrily, and shouted angrily at Qiao Rui: "Qiao Rui, why did you suddenly order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops? I will lead my army to capture the city, and you will give orders indiscriminately, causing our army to fall short! ”

Sun Ce's ancient ingot knife was about to be pulled out, and Qiao Rui also asked the guards to enter the camp tent and point their spears at Sun Ce, but Cheng Pu and Han Dang tried their best to dissuade them. Sun Ce threw his robe and turned around angrily and walked out of the tent.

Sun Ce said to Cheng Pu: "Cheng Gong, this battle is aggrieved, I want to lead my troops to return to Shouchun and meet the crime of Yuan Shu Chen Qiaorui." ”

Cheng Pu had no choice but to agree, and Sun Ce led the remnants of his subordinates to return to Shouchun alone. Qiao Rui learned that Sun Ce was angry and left, and knew that it was not good, if he captured Wancheng, it would be fine, but if he couldn't capture it, he would be unpredictable after he went back.

Qiao Rui waved his army and began to attack Anhui City again, Han Xuan took advantage of his Ming Jin to collect his troops, he had already let the soldiers rest, and also cleaned and strengthened the city wall, Zhang Zhao also led the reserve team and even organized the people to defend the city.

Yuan Shu's army was not as elite as Sun Ce's corporal soldiers, and this time it encountered stubborn resistance, and Qiao Rui couldn't stop Yuan Shu's army from fleeing. Jiang Qin Zhoutai stepped forward and said to Han Xuan: "Lord, the enemy army has been defeated, and the two of us ask to lead a cavalry out of the city to pursue!" ”

Han Xuan hesitated for a while but agreed, the army under the city was very different from the combat strength of Sun Ce's army that had fought before, it should be that Sun Ce was not in the enemy camp. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the cavalry to pursue them, like a tiger driving a group, killing Yuan Shujun to lose his armor and abandon his armor, and Han Xuan's soldiers captured countless baggage.

Qiaorui's army withdrew to the camp, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin stopped the pursuit. Qiao Rui sat on the ground and sighed, "How is this good? ”

He hesitated for a long time or withdrew to Shouchun with his subordinates, and after Yuan Shu listened to Sun Ce's account telling Qiao Rui, he was furious: "Qiao Rui Pifu, if you mistake me, I will be killed!" ”

When Qiao Rui returned, Yuan Shu summoned him, and although Qiao Rui was sweating in fright, he still defended that he had done this to cut off Sun Ce's wings for Yuan Shu so that Sun Ce could continue to work for him.

Yuan Shu was moved by Qiao Rui's words and pardoned him. After Sun Ce learned about it, he and Huang Gai sighed: "People who have repeated Yuan Shu often do not believe in their words. At first, he promised to appoint me as the Taishou of Jiujiang, but he changed to his confidant Danyang Chen Ji. Later, I led my troops to capture Lujiang for him, and he also promised to let me be the Taishou of Lujiang, and then he reverted to Liu Xun as the Taishou of Lujiang. Now his foreword cut the bridge and then regretted it, I am ashamed of it. ”

Sun Ce's disappointment with Yuan Shu again and again finally made him die for Yuan Shu, and he decided to set up his own door. But he was afraid that Yuan Shu would not give him soldiers and horses, so he hesitated to take out a wooden box from the house and opened it for Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to see.

Cheng Pu exclaimed: "Inherit the jade seal of the country!" This treasure was taken by the father with his life, and the Bo Fu should not be easily taken out to show to the public. ”

Sun Ce waved his hand and said: "This treasure has harmed my father, and now I borrow soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu as a hostage in order to establish himself in Jiangdong." The jade seal is just a plaything in the hands of Yuan Shu, but the soldiers and horses can make contributions in my hands! ”

A person outside the door said with a smile: "With this as a hostage, Yuan Shu is willing to borrow troops from Bofu." ”

Sun Ce and the others saw that it was Zhu Zhi, the word Junli, and it was Sun Jian's old department. Cheng Pu was overjoyed: "With Zhu Gong's help, great things can be accomplished." ”

Zhu Zhi said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu can first recruit his father's old department, and your uncle Wu Jing and cousin Sun Ben both have soldiers and horses in their hands, which can help." ”

Sun Ce nodded and said, "If you want to achieve great things, you must first get talents." I have a relationship with Jiangdong Zhang Hong, and I will definitely ask him to help me this time! ”
