Chapter 918: Tragic Deaths and Injuries

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye,

"Father, the army has all arrived, everything is ready!"

On this day, Yue Yun found Yue Fei.

"Have you arrived? Okay, it's time to act! After Yue Fei heard Yue Yun's words, he immediately stood up,

"Order all armies to attack the city before it happens!"

Yue Fei shouted.

"No!"

……

"The whole army obeys the order and attacks the city!"

Soon, the time was up, and the general of the four gates gave the order to attack the city.

The army did not rush out at the first time, and the reason why it was so was because tens of thousands of arrows appeared at the first time, but boulders flying all over the sky.

The boulder and arrow flew to the Jiangxia county at the first time, and at this time, in addition to tens of thousands of defenders, there were tens of thousands of people in the city.

"Ahhh......h

In just a moment, the arrows and boulders had landed, and at the same time, countless screams were heard.

Many houses in the city were also hit by boulders, some of which were smashed through, and some of which were directly destroyed.

"Put!"

Not long after, another round of arrows flew out, and a black oppressive patch appeared in the sky again, and countless arrows flew into the city again.

This was followed by countless screams, and this was just the beginning, you must know that Liu Wei's army, under the influence of Meng Tian, all used bows and arrows as the strongest weapons.

At this time, the army of the four gates, each of which had more than 10,000 archers, and hundreds of strong crossbows and bed crossbows, and each of them had plenty of arrows.

Attack the city with arrows and consume as much of the city's living force as possible, so as to minimize your casualties.

Because of this, the soldiers under Liu Wei even prefer siege warfare to a certain extent, after all, not everyone wants to die.

Rounds of arrow rain, and boulders that appeared from time to time, caused the people and defenders in Jiangxia County to suffer deeply.

Half an hour later (PS: you can think of it as half an hour), the rain of arrows finally stopped.

At this time, except for a few special archers, the rest of the archers had already shot out of the air, and during this time, each of them shot almost thirty arrows, and the four gates together shot more than a million arrows during this time, in addition to powerful crossbow arrows, and boulders thrown by catapults.

……

"Old general, there are heavy casualties! Now the city is full of corpses and wounded! ”

Wei Yan found Huang Zhong in a panic, his face was full of anxiety, and there was even fear in his eyes, because he had just commanded the army to defend the city at the head of the city, and the scene just now really shocked him.

"What the hell is going on?"

Huang Zhong hurriedly asked, he was also a little nervous at this time, although his current position was in the center of the city, he could still be clear about the movements nearby, and when he saw Wei Yan's appearance, he was even more nervous.

"Miserable, miserable!"

In less than half an hour, the enemy troops outside the city may have shot a million arrows, and that's not all, there are also strong crossbows, bed crossbows, and catapults are constantly attacking the city.

More than half of the defenders on the tower of the city died, and even the people and soldiers in the city were not much better, and thirty percent of the houses in the city were damaged.

"It's only been half an hour! Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is unimaginable, don't say that if you persist for half a month, if you persist for a month, I am afraid that everyone in the city will die in five days and seven days. ”

Wei Yan said in a panic, in less than half an hour, Jiangxia County City had injured tens of thousands of people, including dead and wounded.

"Report!"

Before Huang Zhong could speak, a soldier broke in.

"What happened?"

Wei Yan hurriedly asked.

"The enemy army is officially attacking the city!"

The soldier hurriedly replied.

"Damn it!"

Wei Yan was instantly anxious and hurriedly rushed out.

"The old man will go with you!"

Huang Zhong took the helmet and followed, and soon after, Huang Zhong also saw the tragic situation in Wei Yan's mouth, there were corpses everywhere, some were covered with arrows all over the body, and some were directly pierced through the corpses by the crossbow arrows of the strong crossbow, but what was even worse was the corpses that were hit by the boulders, there were no dead corpses, and the whole corpse was broken into pieces, and there was a disgusting feeling after watching it for a long time, even if he was a military general who was used to seeing life and death.

In addition to this, there were also those who were injured, some of whom were stuck with arrows in their hands and feet, and could not move on the ground, and some were smashed by boulders, and the breaking of their hands and feet was also horrific.

Soon after, Huang Zhong finally climbed the city wall, and there were arrows everywhere, corpses and wounded everywhere, countless soldiers were busy, some were stretching their bows and arrows to defend against the enemy, some were taking care of the wounded, some were carrying corpses, and some were carrying equipment.

And people are falling every moment, and countless soldiers are killing this side outside the city.

Huang Zhong found a position, took a bow and some arrows, and then silently unfolded the matter of pulling the bow and releasing the arrows.

A few hours later, at sunset, the soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally held on.

Huang Zhong sat on the ground tiredly, after all, he was older, although he did not go out of the city to meet the enemy, but it lasted for a few hours, during this time Huang Zhong has been standing here, constantly stretching his bow and arrows, swinging his sword to kill the enemy, longer than most soldiers have to hold on.

……

"Are the casualties counted?"

Huang Zhong looked at Wei Yan and the general in the city.

"More than 7,000 people were killed in the battle, more than 10,000 were wounded, and I don't know how many of the more than 10,000 people could survive." Wei Yan said with a sad face.

"In addition, the people in the city have also suffered a lot of losses, although they have not been investigated, but they must not be underestimated, and many houses in the city have been destroyed, which is also a trouble."

A middle-aged man dressed as a civil official said that he was the county magistrate in the city, and to a certain extent, the entire Jiangxia County was taken care of by him, after all, Guan Yu was not good at governance.

"If it goes on like this, how can we persist until the reinforcements from Jingzhou arrive, and how can we persist until His Majesty's class returns to the court!"

Huang Zhong said worriedly, Huang Zhong didn't know that Jingzhou didn't know what happened in Jiangxia at this time, but he didn't know that Liu Bei was bored because of dealing with Xiang Yu.

"Old general, break through!"

Wei Yan persuaded again.

"No, even if you die in battle, you must not break through, and you must not give up Jiangxia!"

Even after today's tragic war, Huang Zhong is still extremely stubborn.

"No matter what, no matter what, since the old general insists on doing so, then Wei Yan will accompany the old general to die here!" Wei Yan shook his head helplessly, and then got up and left.

……

Following

The battle continued, today as yesterday, arrows, boulders, and crossbow arrows entered the city again, and the black pressure covered the sky and the sun, and at the same time carried countless killing machines.

Although the people in the city are prepared, but this preparation is only like that, strong crossbows, boulders are not shields and other things can be blocked at all, and tens of thousands of arrows are not so easy to block, with the cooperation of catapults and strong crossbows, these arrows still cause great damage to the people and horses in the city.

Another day's siege is over, and the casualties in the city are better today, but that's all.

Of the more than 10,000 wounded last night, more than 2,000 were killed, and today more than 3,000 were killed in battle, and nearly all of them were wounded, and the people of the city were no better.

"More than 10,000 soldiers have died in the battle, and now there are less than 20,000 soldiers who are still intact, and there are thousands of seriously injured.

A military general said with a sad face, after the defense of the city, Wei Yan left alone, and did not come to see Huang Zhong at all.

"General Wei Yan?"

Huang Zhong couldn't help but ask when he saw that Wei Yan didn't come.

"General Wei Yan was also slightly injured, so he must have gone to treat his injuries." A military general at the rank of captain said.

"Is Wei Yan injured?"

Huang Zhong was a little worried.

"The old general can rest assured, General Wei Yan's injuries are not serious, and there will be no problem."

A military general hurriedly persuaded.

"That's good!"

Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
