Zhou Yu of the horse couldn't help but be stunned, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said abruptly: "Block the door!?" ”
According to common sense, even in the battle to defend the city, they will not feel that they will block the door with a boulder, because this is a double-edged sword, if the enemy wants to easily capture the city, he is afraid that he will pay a heavy price, but in the same way, the enemy does not have to worry that he has no way back, even if he is left alone, he can still evacuate safely.
Block the door with boulders! He also buried his way to victory over the enemy.
But for Liu Bei, as long as he can hold the city and hold Zhou Yu's strongest offensive, then he will be victorious.
Zhou Yu still didn't believe that Liu Bei could be so cruel to him, so he waved his hand to summon a small official and ordered: "Send a few people to ask the other two doors, is Liu Bei blocking the door?" ”
The little official arched his hand, answered, and immediately beckoned one person to run left and right.
*********
Above the city, Liu Bei's army was very chaotic, not only the Jiangxia elite, but also the Eastern Wu prisoners, and the ace forces mixed in Liu Bei's army.
The ladder, suddenly erected, clinging to the city wall.
At this time, there was a signal, a signal for the Eastern Wu army to storm Chaisang.
Crossbowmen prepare!
Shoot the arrows!
Prepare for the stone!
Put!
Roll Wood Ready!
Put!
Liu Bei was already familiar with the slogans, his voice was basically hoarse, and the sharp swords wielding in the air didn't seem to last.
In a word, it's really tiring!
But Liu Bei can't take it lightly, this is the most critical time!
"Give me arrows, and I must not let this gang of thieves climb up to the top of the city."
Liu Bei held a sharp sword and shouted again, his voice was obviously hoarse.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
A rain of arrows turned sharply.
The Dongwu soldiers who were rapidly climbing up did not even come at all, and an arrow penetrated the leather armor and sank into the shoulder, and the Dongwu soldiers were overwhelmed. Ah screamed, one hand broke away from the ladder, and the other hand suddenly covered his arm, and the ladder trembled. The Dongwu soldier stumbled under his feet, unconsciously leaned back, and fell straight down from the cloud ladder several feet high.
The two-foot-thick rolling log was thrown down the city wall, and it struck the head of the Soochow soldiers, who lost consciousness without even feeling the pain. The body was stunned, and the ladder trembled slightly, his footing was unstable, and he fell to the ground with a sigh.
Rao is like this, the soldiers of Eastern Wu are still one after another, like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, and crawl towards the city frantically.
Liu Bei looked around, and the city walls were full of Eastern Wu soldiers.
"Jinghui! Take the oil from the fire. ”
Liu Bei shouted sharply.
Hu Che'er nodded, and immediately beckoned the guards to take a few pours of fire oil, and poured them down along the city wall.
Oil trickled down the walls. Even the ladder and the soldiers of the Eastern Wu under the city were stained with fire oil.
Burst! Burst! Burst!
For a time, more than a dozen torches were erected above the city, and Liu Bei waved his sword and shouted: "Release!" ”
The torches ignited the oil and burst into flames, flying along the city walls, followed by a dozen torches all thrown beyond the city walls.
"Rocket ready!"
Liu Bei shouted.
Arrows wrapped in oilcloth burned violently, and arrows rained with arrows, with fire oil. In an instant, the city of Chaisang was turned into a sea of fire.
"Tank ready!"
"Put!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dozens of oil canisters smashed all under the city of Chaisang.
"Rocket ready!"
"Put!"
Sou! Sou! Sou!
A rain of fire turned sharply, like a spark in the sky, and it was exhilarating to watch.
Under the city of Chaisang, it has now become a sea of fire. Zhou Yu was not a person who did not know how to advance or retreat, and immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Looking at the Eastern Wu soldiers who were receding like a tide, Liu Bei gasped heavily, secretly glad that Zhou Yu's offensive was even more serious than he had expected, and originally thought that the fire attack should be used at least after Zhou Yu's third wave of attacks. But now the first wave of attacks has been forced to use fire.
Liu Bei waved his hand and greeted Hu Che'er: "Jinghui! Send someone to inquire about the other three. ”
Hu Che'er arched his hand: "No." With that, he turned and walked away.
Kong Ming led a group of sergeants to carry a large basket of dry food up and distribute it to the soldiers defending the city, and at the same time ordered people to carry down those who were seriously injured and could no longer fight for rapid treatment, and replaced them with a group of new soldiers.
Coming to Liu Bei, Kong Ming took out a water bag and handed it to Liu Bei: "Lord!" Let's take a sip of water. ”
Liu Bei took a sip of water, took a deep breath, soothed his tense nerves, and glanced at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming! Zhou Yu is so reckless of losses, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to hold on. ”
Kong Ming smiled lightly: "Don't panic, the more anxious Zhou Yu is, the more it proves the necessity of our perseverance, as long as we survive for a while, with Yuanzhi's incorruptible tongue, we will be able to persuade Liu Biao to send troops to Jiangdong!" ”
"But Jingzhou Cai Mao" Liu Bei still has concerns.
Kong Ming said calmly: "Don't worry, lord! In fact, Cai Mao wanted to cross the river to pacify Eastern Wu, but after Liu Biao settled Jingzhou, he restrained this person's hands and feet, and now Liu Biao has a long grudge with Jiangdong Sun, if he does not completely eradicate Jiangdong Sun, Liu Biao will not be at ease, as long as Liu Biao makes up his mind, Cai Mao will inevitably lead the army to the expedition. ”
"Pick up the grass and hit the rabbit! I'm afraid that Cai Mao's ambition is even more victorious, and he wants to annex Zhou Yu and me in one fell swoop! Liu Bei sighed.
Ha ha
Kong Ming laughed: "The lord is wonderful! But Cai Mao is just a mediocre talent, so why be afraid! Even if there are millions of male soldiers in hand, they are just local chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable. The lord doesn't have to worry, he will deal with Zhou Yu with all his might. ”
At this time, Hu Che'er returned to Liu Bei, hugged his fists and said, "Lord! More than half of the ordnance was lost there, and there were no casualties; General Guan also lost more than half of his ordnance, and there were no casualties; The three generals have not yet seen a single person come to attack the city. ”
Liu Bei nodded, in this way, only he is in a more serious situation here.
"Pass the order, hold on! Stop the enemy at all costs. ”
Hu Che'er answered, and then turned around and left.
"Kong Ming! It is very likely that Zhou Yu already knew about the huge stone blocking the city gate, which gate do you say he will master next? ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but ask.
Kong Ming shook the feather fan lightly: "It must be the South Gate!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Bei asked: "Why are you so sure?" ”
"First, the south gate is far away from the water military camp; Second, the east and west gates have been feinted for a long time, and forcibly becoming the lord at this time is inevitably a bit of a sense of grabbing credit, Zhou Gongjin has a good name. How can it be? ”
After saying that, Liu Bei and Kong Ming looked at each other and laughed.
"In this case, then I will prepare to change the house in the south of the city." Liu Bei said sharply.
Kong Ming arched his hand: "The north of the city will be handed over to General Zhou Cang to guard." ”
Liu Bei nodded: "I also have this intention." ”
In fact, Zhuge Liang was just reminding Liu Bei that although Zhou Yu would abandon the north of the city. But the heart of guarding people is indispensable, and there is still a need for someone to guard it more or less.
*********
"How!?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, only one gate has blocked the boulder, and the other three have not been blocked!" The little official hugged his fists.
Zhou Yu snorted: "The big-eared thief is not confused!" If all four gates are blocked, I will set up a water army camp under his nose! ”
"The Grand Duke! What should I do next? Gan Ning asked with a fist clenched.
Zhou Yu paused: "Ziming! ”
"The end will be."
"Go to the east of the city to supervise the battle. Be sure to attack the city with all your might, and the first to enter the city will be rewarded with 100 gold. ”
"No."
"Xingba!"
"The end will be."
"You go to the west of the city to supervise the battle, you must go all out to attack the city, and those who are the first to enter the city will be rewarded with 100 gold."
"No!"
Zhou Yu instructed: "The two of you must remember to place an infantry camp outside the army, and use the thief cavalry to sneak attack your rear. ”
The two shouted in unison: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
"Go ahead." Zhou Yu waved his hand.
*********
Outside the city of Chaisang, the water army camp is in the village.
"Sir! When will I strike? ”
Zhao Yun was very flustered, in the next battle in the city today, he had already been gearing up, and he was going to wave his army to cover up the killing when he gave an order.
Judging from Zhou Yu's arrangement, Zhou Yu is indeed guarding against Tian Feng. And the defense was extremely tight, and there was no chance of getting off at all, so Tian Feng still didn't give an order until Zhou Yu retreated.
Tian Feng has his own considerations, but the soldiers under his command can't understand, the boss is in prison, and it is already a big crime for the soldiers under the command of the commander to not be able to protect it, but now they are watching their own lords being beaten, how can they stand it?
Zhao Yun! It's also under a certain amount of pressure!
Tian Feng sighed: "Zilong, don't worry, I'll attack sooner or later, but the time hasn't come yet." ”
"But sir. The officers and men in the army have already complained, but they are afraid that they will not fight again."
Zhao Yun was a little helpless.
"Hmmm! I know that. ”
Tian Feng was very indifferent: "If anyone dares to talk nonsense, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
Zhao Yun was stunned and silent.
**********
Jingzhou. Xiangyang.
"Father! This time, the emperor's uncle raised troops to attack Chaisang, and fought with Zhou Yu, how could we stand idly by, according to the child's opinion, my father could send General Huang Zu to lead an army of 20,000 to cross the river and fight, attacking Zhou Yu's rear. In this way, Zhou Yu can't take care of each other, and he will inevitably be defeated. ”
Liu Qi arched his hand and said excitedly.
"Yes! Lord! That Liu Bei is only 5,000 people, the lord can order General Huang Zu to lead the army to raid the Lujiang River, and the last general can lead the army to rescue and go straight to Chaisang, and Liu Bei joined forces to break Zhou Yu, and then swept the entire Jiangdong, at that time, the lord had become the first prince in the world, and even Cao Cao, who coerced the princes of the Son of Heaven, was not the opponent of the lord. ”
Cai Mao stood up and clasped her fists with both hands.
Liu Biao snorted coldly: "Why are you two so unanimous today?" Could it be that it has been discussed in private? ”
Childe Liu Qi said: "Father! This is a God-given opportunity for my father, and my father can borrow the power of Uncle Liu Huang to level the Eastern Wu, which is really fortunate for the Han family and the Son of Heaven! Why do you need to negotiate such a great achievement? ”
Liu Biao got up silently, dusted off his clothes, and said unceremoniously: "Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of troops coerced Chai Sang, and the outcome is unknown. (To be continued.) )
