At two o'clock, the wind was cold and the night was cold, and it was the eve of the camp.

The Han army first towed two catapults to the West Gate and led 10,000 troops as the main attack; The rest of the south and north gates were only arranged with two or three thousand sergeants to feint and attack, thinking that they would be contained; The east gate was wide open, and there was not a single soldier or soldier, and another ambush was set up a few miles away, waiting for Sun Quan to break through.

Liu Bei couldn't stop coughing when he saw Fazheng, so he persuaded him to go back to the camp and wait for the result, after all, Wu Jun's camp had been laid a net around the camp, and Sun Quan could not fly.

Fa Zheng blew the wind for a day and night, and he really felt that his strength was not enough, so he had to slowly leave the field under the protection of a team of guards.

At four o'clock, everything was ready, Liu Bei waved his hand, and the Han army sharpened its knives and officially began to attack the camp.

The first round of attacks was launched by catapults.

Two catapults set up a position a hundred steps away from the west gate of the Wu camp, and under the heavy guard, they kept pouring mud bombs on the Wu army building.

In fact, there are many types of ammunition for catapults, but when it comes to lethality, the strongest is the stones.

It's just that the camp was hasty, and the Han army didn't have time to collect enough stones and use local materials to make mud balls, so it became the best choice.

The weather is cold and frozen, after the mud ball is taken out, it will freeze hard after a while, and at this moment it will continue to throw at the top of the Wuying wall, making a huge impact sound of "bang" and "bang", only to make the Wuying gate wall creak and crumble.

Previously, Lu Xun watched from the watchtower of the four gates of the camp, and had already seen the general layout of the Shu army and the location of the trebuchet.

He also knew that the wilderness camp was mainly made of wood, and could not stop the continuous attack of trebuchets. Taking advantage of the Han army's meal, the extra camp tents in the camp were demolished, and a huge amount of timber was slanted on the inside of the gate wall near the north gate for reinforcement.

In this case, even though the trebuchet fired continuously, causing great damage to the wall, the wall could barely remain broken because the foundation was still there.

If a trebuchet could hit the same place multiple times in a row, it would be able to crush that fortification—it was just that with the technology of the time, it was impossible to throw it with such precision.

However, in the eyes of the Han army, the power of their catapults was huge, and the Wu army camp was crumbling.

It is also true that the fortifications are limited in their fortifications, and the ammunition of catapults is unlimited, so it is only necessary to maintain and repair them, and continue to bombard, and within one night, they will indeed be able to make a gap.

Just when the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were taking a good time and watching with a smile, a herald suddenly came to report, saying that a large force of Wu troops appeared at the south gate and the east gate at the same time.

Guan Yu pondered for a while, stroked his beard and said: "It must be that the Wu thief saw that our army's catapult was sharp, and made a sound to attack the west, and wanted to thin out the strength of our army's west gate, so he sent dead soldiers to destroy my heavy weapons." ”

Liu Bei thought so, and immediately ordered all departments to stick to their own positions and stay put.

After about a meal, there was a commotion in the direction of the south gate.

After a while, another herald came to report, saying that the south gate of the Wu army was wide open, and thousands of foot soldiers came out of the camp to attack Zhang Nannan, who was stationed there. After showing off his might for a while, Wu Jun has now retreated into the camp.

Zhang Fei frowned and said: "This cavalry must have come from the unguarded East Gate, why did Sun Quan dare to take the initiative to attack at this time?" ”

Liu Bei was suspicious, so he summoned the herald and carefully interrogated the movements of the various doors of the Wu camp.

The herald replied: "There are heavy troops assembled at all gates, but the north gate is empty. ”

"The North Gate is empty?" Liu Bei frowned, pondered for a long time, and suddenly took the case:

"It's not good, three or five miles north of the Wu military camp is the Yangtze River, Sun Quan must have seen through our army's ambush strategy at the east gate, and instead wanted to use the other three gates as bait to escape north!"

Everyone said in their hearts, yes, the Wu army attacked the south gate first, so that their attention would inevitably be moved to the south gate; The Wu army had to repeat the old trick and force back the Han army stationed at the north gate, so that Sun Quan could escape to the bank of the Yangtze River under the escort of cavalry.

And their own cavalry were all ambushed five miles outside the east gate, and they were afraid that it would be too late to pursue; Moreover, at this time, the night was dark and unsightly, and the sentry ships on the river had already docked to rest, and it was difficult to guarantee that Sun Quan would not seize the opportunity to escape in one fell swoop.

When Liu Bei thought of this, he was immediately anxious, and immediately commanded: "Shu Zhi (Chen Zhizi), you lead 3,000 people to garrison here, Yun Chang and Yide, you rush to the north gate with Gu to set up defenses!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, the army suddenly moved.

All this is entering the Wu Ying Observatory, Lu Xun's Eye.

But seeing Lu Xun sneering, he turned around and said to Zhu Ran and Ding Feng, the two generals below:

"Cheng Yuan (Ding Fengzi), after a stick of incense, you led 3,000 foot soldiers out of the north gate to attract the attention of the Han army; Yifeng (Zhu Ranzi), you lead a hundred cavalry to kill from the south gate, go around to the west gate, and ignite the fish oil to destroy the siege weapons of the Shu army! Once the mission is completed, turn around quickly, and never fall in love! ”

Zhu Ran and Ding Feng glanced at each other, and they both bowed down and hugged their fists:

"The last will be ordered!"

After a stick of incense, Chen Dao, who was sticking to the north gate of the main formation, suddenly saw the Wuying gate wide open, and thousands of pace-marchers trotted and lined up, and stepped forward to fight.

Chen Zhixin said, as expected, Wu Jun really wanted to use Sanmen as bait to attract the attention of our army.

He had already given orders, and since Wu's army was strong, he ordered all his troops to go forward to meet him.

Not long after the two armies met, Chen heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves from the south, and then a cavalry of about 100 men rushed straight to the direction of the catapult in the rear.

There are only a dozen stone-hairers guarding the catapult, where can they withstand a round of cavalry charge?

Chen was in a hurry, but he had been entangled by Wu Jun's foot soldiers, and it was too late to support.

Only two crisp clay pots were heard, and then the general of the Wu cavalry lit the rocket and shot away in the direction of the catapult.

With a "boom", the two catapults burst into flames, and after a while, they were enveloped in flames and engulfed.

The speed of the Wu army's cavalry did not decrease, and they passed by the remaining siege equipment at a rapid pace, but the sound of crockpot breaking kept sounding as they went.

Zhu Ran couldn't stop shooting arrows and igniting fires, and in just a moment, the ladders and battering rams on the Han army's position ignited a raging fire.

Zhu Ran saw that his goal had been achieved, and after greeting him, he led the cavalry to gallop south.

All this shocked Chen Zhi's eyes and wanted to split, so he had to sprinkle his anger on the Wu army foot soldier in front of him.

The Han army won a new victory during the day, and its morale was flourishing, and at this time the battle was at this point, Ding Feng's troops were no longer supported, so they retreated while fighting and slowly retreated.

How could Chen allow him to get out so easily? Can't help but bully forward.

Kankan entered the Wuying gate wall fifty steps away, and countless archers poked out from the watchtower of the Wu camp, shooting in the direction of the Han army.

Seeing that many Han soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, Chen had no choice but to give up the pursuit and slowly retreat into the formation.

This period lasted less than a stick of incense, and by the time Liu Bei arrived when he heard the news, the siege equipment had already burned into piles of charcoal.

Liu Bei knew the plan, and in a fit of rage, he immediately ordered the tree to be cut down as a hammer and launched a sea offensive.

The Han army's attack on the camp lasted until dawn, but the loss of catapults and ladders greatly reduced its power, and it was finally resolved by Lu Xun's calm command.

Liu Bei finally gave up after killing and wounding hundreds of people.

Fortunately, the wounded and sick battalion was rescued in time, and these wounded soldiers were properly treated, and there were no major casualties.

Liu Bei immediately summoned the second department of Yulinwei and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion, and did not live around the camp to patrol and cruise; He also divided the 15,000 soldiers evenly among the four gates, strictly guarding against death, and beware of the Wu army breaking through.

After a short rest for half a day, the Han army regrouped and led the troops to attack again.

After all, there was no threat of heavy siege equipment, Lu Xun calmed down, did not mess up, saw the moves, and dismantled the Han army's offensive one by one.
