There was a sound of killing under the city, and the defenders at the head of the city were even more miserable, and there was a mess everywhere, and many defensive facilities were destroyed before they could be used, which made Cheng Yu and Cao Hong's faces extremely ugly.

Guan Yu's face was calm, watching the battle from a distance, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Pang Tong and Tian Feng coming.

"Sergeant, Mr. Yuan Hao!"

"General Yun Chang, is the battle going well? What about the dead and wounded? Pang Tong looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he wanted to see through Cheng Yu's face in the city.

Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Fortunately, the siege of the city has only been three hours, but there have been three or four thousand dead and wounded, but the war has just begun, the Cao army is still tenacious, our army has been repelled several times when it is about to climb the city wall, military division, but continue to attack?" ”

Pang Tong: "Yun Chang was a general at that time, and he was also proficient in strategy, what do you think?" ”

Guan Yu said decisively: "Since the battle has begun, of course we have to attack!" If you don't break this city, you won't withdraw your troops! ”

Pang Tong nodded: "Yes, since it has begun, you can only attack the city until it is breached." ”

Pang Tong paused and said: "However, our army launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and such a fierce attack failed to land the city in one fell swoop, it seems that Xuchang's defensive strength is indeed not weak, but it is also expected." In this case, it is not a matter of a day or two to break through Xuchang. The catapult can be paused to see what fortifications are being made, which can be cleared to further discourage the defenders. Temptation also reveals something. ”

Guan Yu nodded: "It's okay, knowing yourself and knowing that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" So-and-so will order! ”

After a while, the stone throwing cart stopped, and the pressure on the defenders at the head of the city suddenly decreased, and they rushed up to the battlements with howls, and smashed the besiegers with heavy objects such as preparations.

The siege is still continuing, after the stone-throwing truck attack just now, many battlements have been destroyed, and half of the defense facilities have been destroyed, obviously the materials have been left slightly insufficient, Cao Hong stood at the head of the city and shouted: "Mullet, on the mulch, bomb them down for me!" ”

Huge pieces of sassafras were lifted up and pushed out of the wall.

"Ah, no!"

A Jingzhou sergeant who was climbing along the ladder suddenly saw a huge sassafra above his head appear, and immediately screamed and stepped back. But his speed can't catch up with the speed of the giant tree's fall. I only heard a "release", and a dark cloud shrouded me, and I no longer knew everything.

When the giant tree slammed down on the ladder, it was destroyed, along with more than a dozen other sergeants and a ladder not far away. The giant tree smashed to the ground and rolled up and down the moat. Along the way, anyone who encountered and could not dodge rolled over with a huge log, and there was nothing left, leaving only blood and broken flesh and rags all over the ground.

At the same time, a large number of archers were quickly shot at the head of the city, shooting at the bottom of the city.

The city is full of people, and they don't aim at all, just take the arrow, draw the bow, and let go, as for who they hit, it depends on whose luck they bear.

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly ordered: "At this time, the herald, the stone-throwing cart immediately attacked, aimed at those places where there are sassholes and archers, and kill them fiercely!" ”

Pang Tong suddenly interjected: "Use fire oil!" ”

The herald looked at Guan Yu, saw that Guan Yu also nodded, and said abruptly: "No! ”

The command flag waved its flag, and countless fireballs suddenly flew up from a place in the battlefield, heading straight for the city. Blazing flames roared through the sky, bringing up long flames, like dozens of comets, rushing down in anger.

"Get out of the way, stupid!" Cao Hong was killing refreshmently, and suddenly saw a fireball flying in the distance, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted.

The archers could immediately collect their bows and dodge, but the rest of the city and the defenders who were carrying the logs were too late. Hearing Cao Hong's shout, one of the defenders saw the fireball that was about to fly in the air, his face turned pale, and he let go of his hand and turned to flee. One person let go, and the sassagne suddenly fell, and the others had time to dodge, and they were immediately smashed by the sassalwood. The wood suddenly turned red.

Cao Hong was furious, snatched the bow of the archer next to him, and drew an arrow, which was aimed at the soldier who let go and escape. The man was escaped fast enough and still safe, but he didn't expect a feathered arrow to fly in front of him, right in the chest. And the person who shot himself with an arrow was his own coach Cao Hong.

"The boss killed his own people, and the boss surrendered to the enemy...... "The defender shouted to death, and he died. However, this sentence was firmly engraved in the hearts of the surrounding people. Everyone's faces changed visibly.

"General be careful!" One of Cao Hong's own soldiers suddenly pounced and slammed Cao Hong into the front. This collision was indeed hard enough, so that Cao Hong threw himself directly to the ground, and a dog came to gnaw on it.

Cao Hong was about to get angry, but before he could get up, he heard something whistling behind him, and he also felt the fiery temperature approaching.

There was a "boom", and the hot rubble and other smashed debris fell to the head and face, and the smell of burning something came from the face.

"Save the General!"

As soon as he heard this, Cao Hong felt that his two arms were grabbed and dragged forward for a while before stopping.

When Cao Hong finally stood firm, he saw a big fireball bouncing off the city wall, smashing through the battlements again and falling into the city. At the same time, there were sounds of houses collapsing and women screaming.

Looking back behind him, where he was pushed away just now, a guard in iron armor had been smashed and died tragically, and there was still a fire burning on his body, and he couldn't tell who it was. Cao Hong's back suddenly became cold.

In other places, those who did not have time to flee died tragically, and there was fire oil on the boulders, but everything that could be burned was ignited, and the city was full of fire, and corpses were strewn all over the ground!

Although the speed of the archers was fast, not all of them had such good luck to avoid the pursuit of death, and those who escaped in time and were not so lucky, there were still two or three hundred people who died on the spot.

When Cao Hong looked over, the people next to him all moved out in unison, Cao Hong knew that it was the consequence of the dying words of the deserter he shot just now, but it was useless to say anything at the moment, as long as he could hold Xuchang, he didn't need to explain anything to these lowly untouchables at all.

Cao Hong's face was covered with ashes, and there were bruises and blood marks, and he roared angrily: "Why are you still stunned, go and save people and put out the fire!" ”

Only one wave of attacks caused countless casualties to the defenders of Xuchang, and the Jingzhou army also took advantage of the panic at the head of the city to attack again!
