The soldiers who had been sent to the city had fought for a long time but did not climb the city walls, and the soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, and he saw the impermeable defenders on the city walls, with the big shield soldiers in front and the pikemen protecting the left and right.

Every time the first dead soldier climbed to the top of the ladder, he was smashed and picked up by the three people who cooperated with the defenders, and he saw the dead soldiers under his command fall off the ladder one by one, and his heart ached, and he was more worried about Guo Fengxiao's preset conspiracy.

When the sword and shield soldiers under his command pushed the siege vehicle and the siege tower to the Bohai city wall, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw tens of thousands of soldiers climbing the Bohai city together to capture Guo Jia.

His pride did not last long, for he saw hundreds of clay pots fly out of the city wall in an instant after the siege equipment moved to the city wall, and the defenders kept throwing it down the city.

"Not good! Order the vanguard to retreat! Exclaimed, he hurriedly struck his horse back a few hundred paces, for he had already guessed what was in the pot.

The heralds under his command rushed to the city, and before they could speak, they saw a little red light arrive first, and then arrows rained down!

Woohoohoo, hiss!

The wind blows, the fire rises!

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire spread to the city in an instant, and almost none of those soldiers were spared, and they were engulfed in the fire in an instant, and the sound of wailing and screaming was endless.

After all, those siege vehicles and siege towers were the most important targets in Guo Jia's heart, and they were even more \1\book\read\novelxt xstxt ordered the soldiers to aim at these siege equipment and throw them.

The siege engines and siege towers bore the brunt of the fire, and the wooden structure crackled with fire.

The soldiers trying to protect the siege engine did not struggle for a few minutes before they stopped breathing.

There was a sea of fire under the city, arrows rained down on the city, and the thousands of pioneers who attacked the city under his command were instantly thrown into a mess by this fierce offensive, and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

A north wind blew, Guo Jia subconsciously raised his hand to protect his face, and quickly took a few steps back, the fire was fierce, the north wind was full of fire, and Guo Jia's face was slightly painful with the scorching temperature.

A fishy and sour smell of barbecue blew into Guo Jia's nose with the north wind, and his stomach tumbled, almost vomiting.

"Wow!" Yuan Tan's concentration was insufficient, and when he was blown by the north wind, and witnessed such a tragic scene under the city, he instantly vomited on the ground, and glanced at the city a few times while spitting back.

The reaction of all the soldiers on the city wall was about the same, this fire burned back the enemy's onslaught, but everyone did not cheer happily, but quietly watched the tragic scene under the city.

"What if I'm the one in the fire?" One of the veterans shook his head, putting these thoughts behind him, not daring to think about how much damage the flames that burst out of the ground half a battle high on the ground.

He only saw that the enemy soldier who had been eroded by the fire had not struggled for a moment before his body fell to the ground and convulsed, and then, and then he stopped breathing.

Guo Jia saw such a tragic scene, and felt compassion in his heart, if there was no war, how good the world would be, no sacrifice, no death, and no such a tragic battle.

"Maybe if I lead the soldiers and civilians in Bohai City to surrender, this scene will not be staged, and many people will not have to be sacrificed." Guo Jia's thoughts fluttered, and he knew better that he wanted to surrender, maybe the first person to die would be himself.

Guo Jia took a deep breath and put away his compassion.

"War is so cruel, either you die, or I die, I don't care if you are the father of the child, the son of the parents, or the husband of the wife who has not passed the door, sorry, I can't be a virgin in this troubled world." Guo Jia looked at the screaming and wailing under the city, and the enemy troops who were burning in all directions by the raging fire sighed in his heart.

Because he knows better that unless the world is unified, there will be constant wars, and he can save the people of Bohai, or he can prevent the soldiers of Youzhou from sacrificing, and he is not able to turn the tide and save the people of the world.

In troubled times, not the power of one person can turn the tide.

He knew that perhaps because of the people of this city and one place, the war would last for decades or even centuries, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Whether it's Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan, which one is the one who has lived under the people for a long time? Only when one of them calms the world can this troubled world end.

All he can do is to make this cannibalistic chaotic world end quickly.

Gongsun Zhan stood on the hillside and looked at the raging fire, his heart was dripping blood, it was his thousands of soldiers in Youzhou, and these soldiers could not follow him back to Youzhou.

He saw that the few siege vehicles and siege towers in his hands were engulfed in flames, and the raging flames rose several battles high, and he knew that he could not rely on siege equipment to capture Bohai City.

If he wanted to break the city, he could only build a cloud ladder before Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrived, and the lives of the soldiers had been set up to attack the cloud ladder, but the cost of such casualties would be several times heavier.

"The order is single, the vanguard will retreat for the time being, wait for the fire to be extinguished, and the three armies will attack the Bohai Sea!" After Gongsun Chan gave this general order, it seemed that he had aged a few years in an instant, because he knew that the consequences of doing so would cause heavy casualties among the soldiers under his command.

But he had to do this, for his ambition, for his hegemony, he knew better that if he couldn't break through Bohai City, there was no hope of annexing Jizhou.

Because he knows that Yuan Shao has just led Jizhou, and the control of the soldiers and horses under his command is not so perfect, this is his only chance, if Yuan Shao controls Jizhou, there is a gap between Jizhou and Youzhou to produce soldiers and horses, money and food, I am afraid that he will no longer have the strength to wave his army south.

Shan Jing wanted to cry without tears, they were all his comrades in Youzhou, but he had no ability to save them, he thought that Guo Jia might attack with fire, but he didn't expect such a fierce fire attack.

"Maybe my lord Sun Zan didn't think of it, right?" After a single word of self-comfort, seeing that the fire was gradually extinguished, some surviving soldiers were carried out one after another.

He knew that these soldiers who were burned by the fire might not survive today, and it was better to give them a good time than to let them be hurt to death.

"Send your badly wounded brother on his way!" Shan Jing choked up and shouted, turned around and ran towards the barracks, he was going to arrange the next general attack, and he didn't want to see that sad scene.

"Retreat, the enemy retreats!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in Bohai City, holding a spear, pointed at the city with a trembling right hand and shouted excitedly.

He is just an ordinary person in Bohai City, and he is also a child, and he still hasn't figured out why he wants to fight, let alone why the people of Youzhou want to attack Bohai City.

He only knew that if the city was broken, he might lose everything, so in order to protect the people he wanted to protect, he picked up a spear and put on a leather armor with very low defense to stand on Bohai City to resist the enemy army.

Because, he has no choice, he doesn't want to lose everything.

When the people in the city saw the defeat of the enemy army, they shouted excitedly, as if they had not seen the tragic scene under the city just now, or perhaps they had survived the menacing enemy army.

Some cried, some laughed, some cried with laughter, at least, they kept Bohai City.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and looked at the soldiers and horses under Gongsun Zan from a distance, although his morale was low, he had no intention of withdrawing his troops, he knew that this was just the beginning.

Because he knows that the decisive battle is today!
