Cheng Pu was completely stunned, looking at Cao Wei's army, one after another heavy catapults, constantly approaching their own city walls, although they were constantly smashed by the catapults on their own city, but they were still so firm and fearless to approach themselves, closer.

The power of these bulky catapults is obvious to all, and the one step closer they get to the city wall, its lethality increases, but no matter how crazy the catapults on your walls are, you can't stop the enemy's catapults from approaching you.

With a burst of sounds, the huge boulders that came from all over the world, with the roar of death, rushed to his city wall, and in Cheng Pu's frightened eyes, the huge stones almost fell on the city wall.

The loud sound made people's ears unbearable, and then the ancient city wall under their feet shook violently, and the wall bricks wrapped outside the city were broken like powder, and after a round of down, a large area of city bricks began to collapse, revealing the rammed earth inside.

In the face of such a situation, Cheng Pu was afraid, he was really afraid, in fact, he was not afraid that the city was about to be broken, he was the first veteran on the line of life and death who had been fighting for many years, and he had already ignored life and death. What he feared was that at this time he understood one thing, after two months of city battles, it was not his stubborn resistance that deterred the enemy, but that the enemy did not attack sincerely at all, and now it showed the true ability of the northerners to defend and attack, feelings, as long as they want to take their own city, it will not take long at all, they are indeed using themselves as bait to consume the military strength of their own families around them.

The funny thing is that he is still cooperating with them. Especially through this battle, Cheng Pu suddenly understood one thing, that is, he had no reinforcements at all, and the sudden attack launched by the enemy was not because his reinforcements were about to arrive, but because they had already made a decision, and they had their own decision, from this point of view, from beginning to end, the initiative of the war has always been in the hands of Cao Wei, not on their own side at all.

But now regret is useless, the only thing that can be done is to fight desperately.

Batch after batch of boulders were thrown out by catapults and smashed on the ancient city walls, the bricks were broken, the rammed earth was loosened, and the entire city walls began to crumble.

A group of soldiers ran in fear over the city like headless flies, trying to escape from the walls that were about to collapse.

Cheng Pu drew his sword, slashed a few on the spot, and yelled at them with blood-red eyes: "Do we still have a place to escape?" There are enemies all around, they just want to occupy our homeland, occupy the place where our ancestors have survived for generations, as long as we retreat, we will no longer have a homeland, now Cao Wei has no way to retreat, we have no way to retreat, now we must defend to the death, only to hold here, block them, in order to let our Jiangdong fathers have land to plant, fish to fight. ”

Cheng Pu said that this is the truth, and Cao Wei's arrival this time is no longer the same as other conquerors.

The other conquerors occupy a place, they just want to enslave the people here, collect taxes from the households of the people here, and let the people here work for them, in fact, this situation is staged every day, changing the dynasty, but the top of the ruling class is the real touch, the rulers of the original dynasty, because it may threaten the foundation of the new ruler, so they must be eliminated from above, in exchange for the stability of the new ruler.

But this kind of change of dynasty, for the common people, is just a change of the owner who collects taxes from themselves, sometimes, the tax collector is still the officials of the previous dynasty, as for who is above, the people are not very clear, and no one really cares about him. It's the same for everyone, is there any difference? Not at all, everyone is the same, the sun rises and the sun sets, everyone wants to see the officials to kneel, the same with the numbers they say, carry their own taxes, and participate in the conscription that they should participate.

Therefore, there is often such a situation, the central officials are desperately resisting, and the people who are ruled are actually watching from the wall, watching the excitement, and their personal feeling is that their sons and husbands will be arrested as soldiers, and those old men will be used as cannon fodder, and they don't know where they will die.

It is precisely because everyone rules the same, so all the soldiers, except for those who were rewarded by those old men to become family members, the others will be scattered in a hurry when the war is urgent.

But this time it is really different, Cao Wei no longer has a foothold in the north, they millions of people are rumbling to the south, these people also need to survive, they also need land and houses, they also need mountains and forests, they need all the things that should be in life.

So where do these things come from? It's that you have to plunder from the hands of the aborigines, this is the real matter of life and death, if you survive, then I must die.

So now the people in Jiangnan, in fact, they have no way back, no way out.

In the face of the bloody facts, those panicked soldiers also saw that they had no way out, so they clenched the swords and guns in their hands, and ran back to the crumbling city wall again, ready to use their lives to defend their homeland that had been passed down for thousands of years.

In this face-to-face collision war, its nature has changed completely, no longer for conquest, but for survival.

The city wall was trembling, and finally under the crazy smashing of endless boulders, a section of the city wall could no longer bear it, and it collapsed, just in the dust, the defenders on that section of the city wall were buried with the collapsed city wall, and there was a huge hole in the entire defense system.

With the collapse of the city wall, the Cao Wei army outside the city let out a burst of earth-shattering cheers, and then the phalanx of Cao Wei's army, which was neatly lined up behind it, suddenly started, like a torrent, and began to rush madly towards this collapsed city wall.

There was no place to collapse, and he desperately shot down the rolling wood thunder stones and bows and arrows, and shot batch after batch of Cao Wei's soldiers on the way to charge.

But no one flinched or hesitated, a group of people fell, and the soldiers behind them still charged upwards desperately, trampling on the corpses of their brothers, and rushed up again and again like waves without hesitation.

Batch after batch of soldiers of Eastern Wu launched a counterattack on the collapsed section of the city wall, and on this small gap, the two sides have been completely mixed together. It's become hell on earth, a mill of flesh and blood.

Cheng Pu looked at the soldiers who kept filling in, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, Huang Gai, for the old brother, when will your reinforcements arrive. I'll not be able to do it until it gets dark.
