"Uh... Ahh

The soldiers who were besieging the city on Zhu Wei's side were finally injured, and the soldiers who climbed the ladder and rushed up to kill soon fell from the ladder one after another, some of them fell to the ground and lost their lives, and some of them broke their hands and feet, and they couldn't help but howl in pain.

But as long as more people felt that they were fine, they quickly looked for a ladder to rush to the city wall again, and they knew very well that only by killing the city wall could they really get through the current predicament.

Before the military order is issued, even if they retreat, they will also be beheaded in violation of the order, and at the same time, their previous exploits will be stripped away, and all their military achievements will be in vain.

Therefore, they would rather die than be wounded, and they would rather rush to the city wall to kill them.

However, the siege war was cruel, and in a short time there were already hundreds of siege soldiers killed or wounded, even if there were archers and crossbowmen on the siege towers to cover them, even if there were gravel throwing trucks throwing gravel on the city walls, even in the rear of them, a large number of crossbowmen came up, and when they climbed the siege city, they shot arrows covering the city walls.

But it is really not easy to storm the city wall, and from time to time there are still siege soldiers who fall from the top of the city wall.

At this time, Liu Xun's soldiers defending the city were also sharp, and naturally they were also in the rain of arrows and stones of Zhu Wei's army, maintaining the resilience of defending the city, so even if they had a lot of losses on their side, they still blocked this round of offensive by Zhu Wei's soldiers.

Pang Yan, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai, who were in charge of commanding in front of the battle, did not have any mercy on their lives at this moment, even if they knew that this was a feint, they would not be stingy with the lives of the siege soldiers.

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, how can there be immortals in war.

Even if it was a feint, if it didn't kill the lives of some soldiers, how could Liu Xun believe that this was a real siege instead of a feint.

Therefore, even though they watched the elite soldiers in front of them lose hundreds of lives during the siege, they still did not give the order to withdraw their troops, so the siege battle continued.

"Rush! Come on! ”

"Don't let them come up, shoot arrows, smash, smash!"

The shouts of the besieging party and the defender of the city resounded up and down the city wall, and at the same time, the cries of falling pain and the wail of the arrows also sounded everywhere, don't look at the losses of the siege soldiers on Zhu Wei's side, but the losses of Liu Xun's soldiers who defended the city on the city wall were also a lot.

The battle went on with time by moment, and the siege soldiers on Zhu Wei's side actually rushed to the city wall several times, but in the end they were driven back by Liu Xun's defenders on the city wall.

In the end, the sky gradually entered dusk, and the sound of "bells and bells" sounded in the rear of Zhu Wei's central army, and it was obvious that today's daytime siege battle was about to end.

Hearing the sound from the rear, Pang Yan, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, and Sun Quan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they also ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

So the remnants of the three or four thousand soldiers who went to attack the city in front also retreated back with their wounded and undead comrades, as well as the bodies of their dead comrades.

This scene can be regarded as sufficient.

Then, the various siege equipment that originally stood in front of the city wall slowly retreated under the protection of the surrounding soldiers, leaving only the scene of embarrassment under the city wall, all kinds of arrows, stones and rolling logs, and pools of blood and water gathered together.

Of course, it is also a mess on the city wall, many places are feathered arrows and crossbow arrows shot by Zhu Wei's army, and there are a lot of gravel scattered everywhere, and there are also rocks lying on their stomachs in some places, and there are flesh and blood under some rocks that cannot be distinguished from human shapes.

This time, the loss of Liu Xun's soldiers defending the city on the city wall was also more than 2,000, it can be said that in this siege battle, the losses of the besieging side and the defending side were about the same, but it was also a great violation of the normal siege loss ratio.

But Zhu Wei has prepared so many siege equipment here, which makes this ending a little more normal, in fact, if Zhu Wei really attacks at any cost, as long as there is a fierce general like Pang Yan to take the lead, he may also be able to attack the city wall when the soldiers rush to the city wall.

It's just that since Zhu Wei has arranged internal means in the city, of course he will not really waste his troops in vain, and forcibly attack the city at the risk of losing the general's life.

In this way, Zhu Wei's army ended today's siege, so the army slowly left the battlefield and returned to the direction of its own military camp.

The news that Liu Ye sent people out of the city before also made Zhu Wei have a little thought, which is much more convenient than the tactics of climbing the wall and stealing the city tonight, and Zhu Wei has actually discussed with Jia Xu and Zhou Yu, maybe he can capture Anhui County tonight.

Therefore, on the way back of the army, Zhu Wei quietly passed down the military order, so taking advantage of the gradually dim sky, many people from Zhu Wei's retreating army secretly dispersed.

Not to mention how Zhu Wei's side arranged, just say that Liu Xun on the Anhui County side saw that Zhu Wei's army had withdrawn, so he also let people count the losses of this battle.

After hearing the statistics of the losses on his side, Liu Xun's brows couldn't help but wrinkle again, and he looked at his civil and military subordinates and said with emotion, "Alas, our side has the advantage of defending the city, but I don't want to lose so many troops, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it won't take a few days, and our army's strength will be insufficient!" And Yuan Gongzhi's reinforcements don't know when they will come! ”

"Liu Gong, I see that the main forces of Zhu Wei's army are all at the south gate today, maybe I can transfer troops from the north gate to assist!"

One of Liu Xun's generals couldn't help but make suggestions to Liu Xun, and seeing the losses in today's battle, he was also worried that the troops defending the city were insufficient.

"No, Liu Gong, there is also a garrison of Zhu Wei's soldiers and horses outside the north gate, that Zhu Wei has always been resourceful with his soldiers, maybe he is a plan to attack the east and the west, deliberately attract our attention on the south gate, and suddenly attack the north gate, wouldn't it be bad! According to Ye's strategy, tonight and the soldiers of the outside fort will be brought into the city, and tomorrow when the city is defended, or a part of the people can be allocated to use, so that one of our soldiers can lead the people to five people, or it can also exert some combat power, so it can also reduce the loss of our soldiers! ”

Liu Ye actually knew that the main direction of attack on Zhu Wei's side was the south gate, so he guessed that Zhu Wei was the bait to attract Liu Xun's troops on the north gate, but he still deliberately exaggerated the threat of Lu Su's troops at this time.

"This ......, alas, Ziyang, let's follow your plan!"

Liu Xun couldn't pay attention for a while, but the gate of Wancheng on his side really didn't dare to open it easily during the day, so he still didn't dare to open the gate immediately to receive Jiang Qin's army from the fortress into Anhui County.

Because at this moment, Liu Xun could still see that Zhu Wei seemed to have left more than a thousand cavalry wandering outside Anhui County, obviously these cavalry were monitoring the movements of Anhui County.

In fact, this is also the movement that Zhu Wei deliberately sent the cavalry in the Bai Yu battalion to make here after receiving the news from Liu Ye, that is, he couldn't let Liu Xun open the city gate now and let Jiang Qin and his soldiers from outside the city enter the city.

At this time, a herald suddenly rushed over from the wall of Anhui County, and it seemed that something urgent had happened......
