The landing ships of the Cao army, which poured to the foot of the city wall, stretched out their ladders one after another.

Their ladder was drawn from the cabin.

The ladder is folded.

Little by little, climb to the top of the city.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion used logs against the ladders in an attempt to overturn them.

But the ladder was integrated with the hull of the ship, and with all their might, they only pushed the ladder away from the city.

"Oil!" Squatting behind the battlements, dodging the boulders and arrows flying outside, Yuan Xu shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion brought buckets of hot oil that were still turning over flowers.

After rushing to the city wall, they tilted their oil pockets down.

Cao Jun, who was climbing along the ladder, was scalded by the oil and fell into the sea wailing.

Cao Jun on the ladder fell like a dumpling.

The surging waves swallowed up the soldiers of the Cao Army who were scalded to the point that their skin and flesh fell into it.

The boulder fell from the city, pouring boiling oil, the Cao army under the city wailed, and the boulder hit it became a meat paste on the spot, and the boiling oil poured it, the hot skin and flesh bloomed into cooked meat.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion braved the oncoming boulders and arrows, and opened their bows and arrows to shoot feathered arrows at the Cao army ships crowded outside the city.

Nearby, Cao Jun held a shield to shield the arrows falling overhead.

Cao Jun in the distance took advantage of the baffle on the bow of the ship to avoid the shooting of the Tianhai battalion.

More and more boiling oil was poured on Cao Jun's head, and many ships were stained with oil.

"Rockets! Shoot rockets at them! Zhu Gongdao waved a cooked copper stick and roared loudly.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion drew arrows wrapped in sackcloth in advance, set them on fire and shot them at the city.

The arrows landed on the fuel-stained ship and quickly ignited a fierce fire.

Cao Jun, who was engulfed in flames, howled and jumped into the sea.

The flame is extinguished. But they were crushed into powder in the ships that collided with each other and sank to the bottom of the sea.

The flames raged under the walls. In the distance, the Cao warships were still projecting boulders and arrows.

Cao Jun, who rushed to the foot of the city wall, was still approaching the city.

The Penglai city wall was built only a year or two. Washed by the waves, it is more slippery than any inland wall.

Cao Jun, who climbed along the ladder, soon found that although the ships floating in the sea fixed the ladder, they could easily break away from the city wall because they had no roots to rely on.

The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion at the head of the city took their spears and stabbed Cao Jun from afar who climbed to the top of the cloud ladder but could not jump onto the city wall due to lack of distance.

Floating in the sea were burning ships and the corpses of Cao Jun.

The waves crashed against the hard Penglai city walls.

The head of the city shouted for a while, but Cao Jun never waited for half a step to climb the high wall.

Ships carrying Cao's army gathered under the city.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the huge ship of Cao's army in the distance began to retreat.

Drive to a distance beyond the reach of boulders and **** arrows. The huge ships stopped.

The deck was full of Cao Jun running around mending the warship.

Walking out of the cabin, looking at Penglai in the distance, thinking of the two sides shooting each other not long ago, Jia Xu still had palpitations.

Ten huge ships, one sank in the first round of attack.

The rest of the ships were also damaged, and the two serious ones, although they were not sunk, would not be far from sinking if they were not repaired in time.

At the foot of the city wall in the distance, Cao's army was still struggling to attack the city.

Coming to Guan Cheng's side and looking at the battlefield of killing gods, Jia Xu asked, "How?" ”

"Penglai City is strong. Although our army struggled to climb to the top, it was always difficult to reach the top of the city. ”

"Please General Mingjin withdraw his troops!"

Guan Cheng was stunned.

It was not easy for small boats to rush to the city wall, and there were more than a dozen ships that were sunk by the Tianhai camp and hit the reef in the middle of the road.

"What do you mean?" He asked blankly.

"The general can't see that the city is so sieged. Even if the soldiers die, they will definitely not be able to climb to the top of the city! ”

Looking at the battlefield unwillingly, Guan Cheng ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

Bursts of gold. Cao's army, which was attacking Penglai, retreated one after another.

They were sent away by a rain of arrows and boulders from the city.

Come in a hurry and go in a hurry. Cao's first offensive was aborted without success.

At the foot of the city walls, the remaining ships were still burning.

The waves that washed over the city walls. Roll up the corpse left behind by Cao Jun and slam it against the wall.

"Stop!" Cao Jun's ships were getting farther and farther away, and the boulder gradually couldn't hit them, and Yuan Xu gave the order to stop projecting.

"Childe!" Tian Feng, who was separated from Yuan Xu during the fight, came to his side: "Cao Jun must have a back hand when he retreats." ”

"How can an army attack without a staff?" Yuan Xu said: "This time it was in vain, and I am afraid that it will be a vicious battle when it comes again!" ”

"How long can Penglai grain and grass be eaten?" Yuan Xu asked.

"The population on the island is not large, and Dong Gong has bought several boats from all over the world before, and he only needs to wait until the autumn harvest, and the grain and grass will be inexhaustible."

"Cao's army besieged Penglai from the sea, and it was difficult to continue the supply, and it would not last long." Yuan Xu said: "They will definitely step up the siege of the city, but I don't know what method they will use!" ”

"I heard that Gongzi Guandu fought against Guo Jia's organ when he was crossing?" Tian Feng asked suddenly.

"Tian Gong is ......" Yuan Xu's eyes lit up.

"It is difficult to achieve anything by forcibly attacking the city, and the enemy army may come from the sky!"

"Although the crew mechanism can fly, it can't fly the city wall." Yuan Xu shook his head.

"Is it possible to turn up the catapult and project people like boulders?"

Yuan Xu didn't make a sound.

Tian Fengti's method is not impossible.

It's just extremely difficult to control.

The catapult is used to project people, the flight angle and landing point must be accurately calculated, and there must be equipment to slow down the fall speed when falling!

Acting like this, Yuan Xu was not at all sure.

The city of Penglai is difficult to break, and the Cao army has failed to attack, so it is difficult to say whether this method will be adopted.

Looking at the outside of the city, Yuan Xu ordered: "Pass the order, and the city will be strictly guarded!" ”

The first attack was thwarted, and Cao's army retreated.

On the warship, Jia Xu and Guan Cheng looked at Penglai side by side.

"There are many reefs around, the city walls are also high and difficult to attack, and there is not much grain and grass with them, so I am afraid that it will not take long for our army to evacuate." Guan Cheng said: "You can't storm it, and you can't besiege it!" Can Jia Gong have a way to break Penglai? ”

"The general used to be based on the sea, and there should be many people under his command who are familiar with water."

Guan Cheng said: "Seeking a livelihood at sea is not only familiar with water. A certain subordinate walks more smoothly in the sea than on land. ”

"If that's the case, there's a way!" Jia Xu said: "From here to Penglai, if you swim in the water, can you arrive?" ”

Looking at Penglai, Guan Cheng said: "The road is a little far, but there are people to reach!" ”

"Please choose fifty people who are proficient in water."

"Jia Gong already has a way to break the city?" Guan Cheng asked.

"Yes, yes!" Jia Xu said: "If you can hide from the enemy army defending the city, you may break through the city!" ”

Looking at him suspiciously, Guan Cheng asked, "Can you tell me what the method is?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Watergate! If it is a land city, the water gate will be closed in case of attack. Penglai Water Gate should be in the sea, Yuan Xianxin may not have thought that our army would dare to dive under the water! (To be continued.) )
