Chapter 464: Bloody Battle Under Wancheng
The Jingzhou army, which had stormed for a day, suffered heavy casualties, but the camp was brightly lit. Faced with the arrival of 20,000 reinforcements, several families were happy and some were sad.
"Mr. Zhuge , my two brothers are taken in by Liu Muzhou, and there is nothing to reciprocate! I heard that Mr. is attacking Wancheng, and we have brought a siege weapon casually! In the big tent of the Chinese army, two burly generals bowed to Zhuge Liang.
"It's a great blessing to have two generals to help!"
After half a pillar of incense, all the generals of the Jingzhou Army were present, but when they saw the extra two people in the camp, they were shocked and silent for a long time!
"Xiahoudun? Xiahou Yuan? Cai Mao couldn't believe her eyes when she entered the big tent.
"I've heard of General Cai's name for a long time, and it's a blessing to see it today!" Xiahoudun stood up and saluted.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the two originally planned to take their families to Jiangdong and take refuge under Sun Quan's account. It's a pity that they were discovered by the soldiers patrolling the river when they passed through Jingzhou, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, the two temporarily agreed to Liu Biao's request.
This time they came to support, and in addition to their own personal guards, only the five newly built trebuchets belonged to the two of them. What was originally intended to be dedicated to Sun Quan had to be revealed in advance.
"Now that everyone knows each other, Ben won't say anything more! Since it is a robe, I should be closer and closer, and come to a banquet to catch the wind for the two Xiahou generals! ”
After a wine banquet, everyone's hearts were mixed. And Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan also have their own hearts. During the day, everyone lost the battle, and there was not much interest in drinking this banquet, so they all dealt with things in a hurry.
Early the next morning, five trebuchets were pushed out of the Jingzhou military camp. After surveying the shooting boundary, the craftsmen brought by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan became busy.
An hour later, the trebuchet was assembled, which attracted cheers from the soldiers of Jingzhou!
"Wen Hou, the trebuchet of the Jingzhou Army has been assembled!" Just when Lu Bu was drowsy, Zhang Liao's report woke him up completely.
In fact, in the face of such a big threat, during the assembly of the trebuchet, Lu Bu did not attack. It's just that Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Wenpin entangled Lu Bu so that he couldn't do it at all, and in the end, Zhang Liao led the army to pick up Lu Bu back to the city.
The battle has reached this point, and the state army has been completely lost. The last three thousand cavalry left were already the last hole cards in Lu Bu's hand.
"Pass the order, do a good job of defense, protect the oil of fire, and use it only as a last resort." Lu Bu gave the order, then closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Zhang Liao saluted and retreated, these days Lu Bu did not return to the mansion to rest, but followed the generals to stick to the city. Even a fierce general like Lu Bu can't withstand such consumption, and recuperating is the top priority at present.
"Knock knock!" The drums of war sounded, and the Jingzhou army was once again preparing to attack the city after being replenished.
However, this time the siege was launched by trebuchets. Huge stones roared and flew towards the city wall of Wancheng, followed by a terrifying crashing sound, which attracted the applause of the Jingzhou soldiers again and again.
"Get down! Don't show your head! Zhang Liao shouted loudly, and after a few days of fierce fighting, the grassroots generals and school gates were almost lost.
"Ahh I can't stand it! One of the recruits shouted and got up and ran towards the city, but before he had gone far, he was struck by a roaring boulder, and died in such a terrible condition that he cannot describe in words.
"Alas!" Seeing the whole passing Lu Bu smashed his fist on the battlements, such an aggrieved way of playing made it difficult for those who were not firm in mind to bear it.
"Knock knock!" The war drums of the Jingzhou army were loud, and a large number of soldiers under the cover of trebuchets once again held ladders to attack Wancheng.
"Bang!" A loud bang came, and several soldiers in front of Lu Bu were shocked to the point that their mouths and noses were bleeding, and they were not very comfortable, but fortunately, the walls of Wancheng were thick and could withstand the impact.
"The enemy is coming!" Seeing that the Jingzhou army was approaching, the trebuchet began to change direction so as not to injure his own people by mistake.
The trebuchet stopped attacking, and the state soldiers instantly entered the defensive position, ready to meet the enemy!
"Thunderstone Rolling Wood!" At the sound of an order, the tragic offensive and defensive battle was staged again.
However, the disaster is not a single line, in less than half a pillar of incense time, the thunder stone rolling wood is consumed, and some of the weak points of the defense have been put on the head of the city by the Jingzhou soldiers.
"Fire oil! Pour the oil quickly! Lu Bu slashed to death the Jingzhou soldier who had just emerged with a halberd and shouted loudly.
In an instant, barrels of boiling oil fell into the sky, and the Jingzhou soldiers who were climbing had no time to dodge and were drenched all over their heads.
"Ahh A heart-rending shout came, and it was clear that the soldier had no chance of living.
"Rockets! Rocket! "The fire oil fell, and then the fire arrows came, and everyone under Wancheng instantly raged, successfully blocking this offensive.
"Whew!" Lu Bu gasped, he didn't know how long this kind of battle would last.
The fire burned for most of the day, and the smell of meat came one by one, causing everyone to retch!
With the addition of trebuchets, although the Jingzhou army has the upper hand, Wancheng is still towering. In the face of such casualties, Zhuge Liang had to order to stop the attack, but the trebuchet did not stop, hitting the last psychological defense line of the soldiers of the Bingzhou army again and again.
To the west of Wancheng, the cavalry has been quietly coming. This is the reinforcement led by Zhang Fei. Looking at the Luzi banner at the head of the city, Zhang Fei finally felt a lot more relieved, at least Wancheng had not been lost.
"Order, the whole army is hidden and resting!" Rushing all the way, Zhang Fei must let his cavalry have a good rest, otherwise joining the battle like this is no different from committing suicide!
Chen Liucheng, after several days of cleaning by Feiyu Ride, finally buried the stumps and severed arms in one place. There were very few survivors, including a seven-month-old baby, and Huo Yu was furious with the actions of the city slaughterer.
"Lord, the subordinates have found the survivors, the old man of the bureau has described it, and it has finally been clarified!" Just as Huo Yu was meditating, Shi A appeared.
"Oh?" Huo Yu took the paper, ten lines at a glance, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became!
"Bastard Brother Xiahou! Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Huo if he doesn't break your corpses into thousands of pieces! Huo Yu was furious.
"Shi A, immediately send more people to find the whereabouts of Brother Xiahou!"
"No!"
"Dian Wei, order the whole army to set off to attack Xuchang tomorrow!"
"No!"
The two orders were issued, Huo Yu looked up at the night sky, the battle of Wancheng was related to the overall situation, and he hoped that Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei could arrive in time.
However, at this time, Wancheng's meat grinder had exhausted the Jingzhou army. On the night of Zhang Fei's arrival, the Youzhou army, which had taken a short rest, launched a night attack on the Jingzhou army camp in the middle of the night.
For a while, the flames were in the sky, and there was a wail in the Jingzhou military camp. The Youzhou cavalry are all like wolves in the night, and the Jingzhou army that killed them has nowhere to hide.
"Wen Hou, the Jingzhou military camp has been attacked!" In fact, there is no need for Zhang Liao to report, Lu Bu also knows that reinforcements have arrived. Night raids are the housekeeping skills of the Youzhou army.
"It's finally here!" After finishing speaking, Lu Bu actually fell asleep.
Zhang Liao was stunned for a long time, he could fall asleep like this, no one could really stand out!
