Chapter 954: Defend or Escape

Wei army array.

Ma Yunlu had already galloped on his horse, and under the surprised gaze of the Wei soldiers, he returned to his own formation.

"Your Majesty, not only did Liu Bei not surrender, but also shot Liu Yong with an arrow, Yun Lu tried his best, but he still couldn't save that kid." Ma Yunlu said regretfully.

Su Zhe sneered: "I just want everyone to witness with their own eyes, how Liu Bei is a beast-hearted disciple, you have done your best, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Ma Yunlu suddenly realized that Su Zhe had long expected that Liu Bei would kill his son.

"So, what do we do now?" After sighing, Ma Yunlu asked again.

Su Zhe's whip pointed at the enemy city, and said coldly: "What else can I do, of course, it is to bombard the city for me, and it will be dark for him!" ”

The order was handed down, and in the middle of the Chinese army, the flag shook like the wind.

The four hundred divine thunder cannons in the front row had already been loaded with stone bullets, just waiting for Su Zhe's order.

With the sound of war drums, the divine thunder cannons were launched in unison, and more than 400 stone bullets were closed in the air, roaring towards the east gate of Yucheng.

Along the front line of the city, the Han soldiers saw the Wei army's divine thunder cannon launched, and immediately retreated under the battlements to hide.

Liu Bei had not yet recovered from his anger, and was still standing there, to show his fearless emperor's courage.

"Your Majesty, watch out for stone bullets!" Guan Yu shouted, pulled Liu Bei down, and picked up the big shield to block it above his head.

Stone bullets rained down.

Boom Boom Boom –

The loud sound of the sky cracking suddenly sounded, and the city wall under his feet shook violently, and the flying dust and debris rushed into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the entire city wall was enveloped.

In an instant, the battlements were smashed one after another, the shields were shattered, countless Han soldiers were smashed into meat cakes, and the fierce howls like killing pigs resounded throughout the city

Yuzhong City is not a strong city in the end, the city walls are all made of earth, and it was only after Liu Bei led the army to settle in that it was hastily reinforced.

Such a city wall, how could it withstand the bombardment of the Wei army's divine thunder artillery, and in the blink of an eye, it was bombarded beyond recognition, and it was unmatched.

Nearly 200 enemy soldiers were either killed on the spot by the stone bullets, or they were missing arms and legs, lost their combat effectiveness, and lay in a pool of blood screaming.

After the first wave of salvos, the four hundred divine thunder cannons began to aim at each other and bombard at will.

In the sky above the city head on the east gate of Yuzhong City, the stone bullets in the sky were like falling meteors, falling from the sky in a steady stream, mercilessly bombarding the panicked Han soldiers.

The entire city wall, as if the end had come, turned into a hell on earth that made the Han army suffer so much.

The bombardment lasted for more than half an hour, and the Wei army shot out tens of thousands of stone bullets in one go, and even a thick layer was piled up under the city wall.

Under the strong bombardment, the first-line city wall of the east gate has been cracked everywhere, the main city wall has suffered great damage, it is already crumbling, and the top of the city wall can not bear to look directly, and it has almost been razed to the ground.

Even the city tower was bombarded to a thousand points and collapsed by a third.

The soldiers of the Wei army stood leisurely more than 100 steps away, enjoying the pitiful picture of the enemy being ravaged, and they were all fascinated.

The loud sound of the sky cracking finally calmed down, the dust settled, and the enemy city became clear again.

Under such a frenzied bombardment, Yuzhong City unexpectedly stood still standing, although a few city walls had been tilted and cracked, but still supported.

This result somewhat surprised Su Zhe.

He originally wanted to collapse the enemy city in one go, but the army poured into the city, killed all the stubborn enemies, and brought the battle of Han to a close today.

Unfortunately, he was only a little short of able to destroy the enemy city.

"It seems that Liu Bei's hasty reinforcement still has some effect, pass the order, the army will temporarily collect troops and return to the camp, collect enough stones, and destroy the enemy city tomorrow!"

Su Zhe chose to retreat wisely.

After all, Liu Bei still has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are fierce generals like Guan Yu Zhang Fei, in the absence of obvious gaps in the enemy city, he forcibly bombarded the city, and there was little hope of directly breaking the city, but it was just a waste of the lives of the soldiers.

The sound of gold sounded, and more than 100,000 Wei soldiers slowly retreated to the camp, leaving only the devastation of the enemy city.

Along the front line of the city, the frightened Han soldiers and soldiers all let out a long breath when they saw the Wei army retreating, as if they had returned from the ghost gate, and they all had palpitations.

Liu Bei also opened his shield, beat the dust on his face, and stood up tremblingly.

He swept around, gasping.

As far as the eye could see, I saw that the buildings on the surface of the entire city wall had almost been destroyed, the blood stained the city wall red, and there were corpses lying everywhere.

The surviving soldiers, one by one sighed, there is no fighting spirit at all, if the city wall is collapsed today, the Wei army kills in, I am afraid that these soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit will directly disarm and surrender.

"What to do? What should I do......" Looking at the tragedy around him, Liu Bei said to himself in a trembling voice, Shicai's anger had long since disappeared, leaving only deep helplessness.

"Your Majesty, the power of the divine thunder cannon is too great, if the Wei army bombards it again tomorrow, the city wall will have to be bombarded! This Yuzhong City is impossible to hold, before the Wei army bombards the city tomorrow, let's abandon the breakout! ”

In a sigh, Sima Yi finally said what everyone wanted to say, but didn't dare to say.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Pang De, all eyes looked at Liu Bei, and there was no doubt that they all agreed with Sima Yi's proposal.

Liu Bei clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyebrows were filled with unwillingness again.

At this time, Yang Fu explained: "The four counties of Liangbei are remote everywhere, and they are close to the Gobi Desert, if we retreat there, the Su thieves may not be in pursuit, maybe we can get rid of the pursuit of the Wei army and get a respite." ”

"As long as we survive, the Su thieves will definitely go north to clean up the Xianbei people, and there we will have a chance to make a comeback and regain the lost territory."

"But if you insist on sticking to Yuzhong City, as soon as this city is broken, everything will be over."

It's all over!

These five words, like a scoop of cold water, poured on Liu Bei's heart, extinguishing all his unwillingness and all his anger.

After looking up to the sky and letting out a long sigh, Liu Bei waved his hand weakly and said bitterly: "That's it, let's break through tonight." ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bei made a decision, but the soldiers became excited and saw the hope of life, they didn't need any mobilization, and they quickly packed up.

Before you know it, the sky is dark, and the city of Yuzhong is shrouded in night.

Nearly 30,000 Han soldiers, with the hope of survival, silently converged to the north gate.

Breaking through from the north gate was the closest route to escape to Wuwei County, where the Wei army's siege was also the weakest, and it was the most promising breakthrough.

The soldiers and horses have been gathered, but Liu Bei is not at the north gate.

At this moment, Liu Bei and his generals were all standing at the head of the West Gate, looking at Wei Ying in the night with a solemn expression.

Inside the city, 5,000 Han soldiers were also waiting to break through.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time, it's time to go." Sima Yi reminded.

Liu Bei's expression was slightly shocked, his eyes looked at the generals, and he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and had to look at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi had to cough dryly, and said: "Your Majesty will break through tonight, the Wei army will definitely besiege and kill, in order to confuse the enemy and strive for a greater opportunity for Your Majesty to lead the main force to break through, there must be a general, lead the army out of the city from the West Gate, pretending that we want to break through from the West Gate, in order to attract the Wei army, I don't know which general is willing to take on this heavy responsibility." ”

The generals looked awe-inspiring, and no one asked for a while.
