On the city wall of Zhuyi City, Xu Sheng and the others were still throwing fierce fire oil, and they had already prepared for the haode archers to continue to shoot outward with rockets.

Immediately after, huge fireballs flew out of the city, and the fireballs flew over the city wall and directly towards Yuan Jun's well.

"Boom!"

The fireball hit the well, and immediately made a loud noise, the fireball shattered, sparks splashed everywhere, and a lot of liquid flowed out of it, which was stained with the well, and after encountering the fire, it quickly burned again.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

One fireball after another slammed into the wells, and ten huge wells burst into flames, and the archers standing on top were terrified and walked down the stairs.

"Kara!"

With a loud bang, the stairs on the well were directly trampled by the archers, and many archers fell directly to the bottom and fell to the ground.

Fireballs were still being hurled from within the city, and the inaccurate fireballs made it impossible to see his trajectory, and I don't know when a fireball would land next to him.

In a moment, there was a sea of fire outside the city wall, and the raging fire was ruthlessly burning Yuan Bing, and in an instant, Yuan Bing was suddenly in chaos and fled one after another.

When Yuan Shu saw this scene, the smile on his face became stiff, he never expected that he was about to attack the city, how could he be beaten and fled in an instant.

Sun Ce, Zhang Xun, Le Qiang, Liang Gang and others have not yet arrived, they were blocked by the soldiers who fled back, and saw a sea of fire in front of them, many Yuan soldiers were still carrying flames, shouting and rushing there, and there was a group of Xuzhou soldiers at the gate of the city who were taking advantage of the situation to cover up.

The defeat was like a mountain, and Sun Ce, Zhang Xun, Le Zhuo, Liang Gang and others had to retreat temporarily.

On the city wall of Zhuyi City, Zhang Yan stabbed to death Zuihou a Yuan soldier who climbed the city wall, kicked Yuan Bing off the city wall with one kick, saw a sea of fire outside the city, the raging fire was burning Yuan Bing, and the ten huge wells were all burned by the flames, Niu Jin and others were slaughtering Yuan Bing, and finally let out a long breath in their hearts.

A quarter of an hour later, the battle ended, and the first confrontation between Zhang Yan and Yuan Shu ended in the defeat of Yuan Shu.

In the army formation of the Yuan army, Yuan Shu was annoyed and angry when he saw the defeated soldiers, and gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhang Yan on the city wall, and said angrily: "It's just a small city, I don't believe that I can't attack it!" Send the order down, and after a quarter of an hour, launch a fierce attack on Zhuyi City! ”

After Yuan Shu's order was issued, the entire Yuan army redeployed, Yuan Shu asked Le Jie and Liang Gang to each take 5,000 people to attack Zhuyi City head-on, but let Zhang Xun and Sun Ce each bring 5,000 people to the upper reaches of Suishui and prepare to attack from the waterway.

After the order was issued, Zhang Xun and Sun Ce each led 5,000 people to the back of the military formation, and then carried the raft used to cross the river before, secretly galloped to the upper reaches of Suishui, preparing to go down the river and attack Zhuyi City.

In Zhuyi City, Zhang Yan stood on the city tower to look out, but saw that there had been great changes in the military formation of the Yuan army, and nearly 10,000 troops suddenly disappeared on the battlefield. He had already guessed Yuan Shu's intentions, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

In the confrontation just now, the two sides suffered casualties on each other, and after a temporary rest, Yuan's army once again beat the war drums of the attack.

As soon as the drums sounded, Leqiu and Liang Gang, who had already been prepared, commanded the soldiers to rush towards Zhuyi City.

"Kill!"

The shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth, and more than 10,000 Yuan soldiers rushed towards Zhuyi City like a torrent, fiercely rushing towards Zhuyi City, they carried cloud ladders, some held shields, and some held bows and arrows, and once again launched an attack on Zhuyi City.

Zhang Yan stood on the city wall, and when he saw Yuan Bing rushing over again, he immediately ordered: "Archers prepare!" ”

More than 1,000 archers stood inside the city wall, squatting down and pointing their bows and arrows at the sky, drawing their bowstrings, just waiting for an order.

Zhang Yan measured the movement speed of Yuan Jun, and when he saw that Yuan Jun was getting closer and closer, he hurriedly shouted to the archers below the city wall: "Release the arrow!" ”

At the sound of the order, thousands of arrows were shot out of the city, and the arrows flew into the air, crossed the city wall, drew a graceful arc in the air, and began to fall, landing right in the camp of the Yuan soldiers who rushed over.

A cluster of arrows fell, and Yuan Bing screamed again and again, and hundreds of people were shot down.

Inside the city wall, as soon as the defenders finished shooting this wave of arrows, they quickly retreated, and another group of more than a thousand archers hurriedly filled the vacant space and fired a cluster of arrows again.

The two thousand archers fired alternately, forming a dense rain of arrows, scattering towards Yuan's soldiers.

The archers standing on the city wall fired accurately and confronted the archers of the Yuan army who rushed over.

The arrows were like locusts, constantly flying around in the air, and many of the archers on the city wall were killed by arrows, but in comparison, the casualties of Yuan's army were even heavier.

Clusters of arrows were intertwined into a dense defensive net, and before the soldiers of the Yuan army could rush to the city, more than a thousand people had been shot dead, and countless others were wounded.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately turned around and shouted to the people inside the city wall: "Xu Sheng! Start attacking! ”

When Xu Sheng heard the order, he immediately commanded the soldiers and began to ignite the ball in the stone thrower, then pulled the stone thrower and threw the fireball out with all his might.

Several catapults repeated the same action over and over again, throwing fireballs filled with fierce fire oil.

The fireball shattered outside the city again, and the fire burned again, and the soldiers of the Yuan army were afraid to move forward.

"Rush! Rush, dare to not move forward, there is no forgiveness! When Le saw that his subordinates had stopped, he was furious.

Liang Gang shouted over there: "The lord has an order, those who go to the city first will be rewarded with a thousand gold, promoted to three levels in a row, and the bereavement of the dead will be doubled!" Rush forward for me, and you must take this city! ”

Yuan Jun used both grace and power, Yuan Bing raised his spirit again, began to rush forward, and soon came to the bottom of the city wall, before he could erect the ladder, he was attacked by rolling stones thrown down from the city wall.

At the same time, the gate of Zhuyi City was opened, and Niu Jin rushed out again with the brave people, these people were all brave and incomparable, like a sharp knife, like a broken bamboo, unstoppable.

At this moment, Yuan Shu, who was far away in the military array, saw that Zhuyi City was more tightly defended, and his subordinates were stubbornly resisted, and his brows furrowed.

"Ji Ling!" Yuan Shu shouted.

"The last general!" Ji Ling responded.

Yuan Shu instructed: "Immediately order 10,000 soldiers and horses, prepare for the siege, and strictly defend the defensive line, without my order, who dares to retreat without a fight, behead!" ”

Ji Ling frowned, this sentence even reflected Yuan Shu's attitude, it seems that Yuan Shu wants to conquer this city at all costs!

"Whoa!" Ji Ling responded, rode out, gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses, and came to the front line, where he was ready to fill the vacancy at any time.

The rain of arrows, the fire, the dead soldiers, the defense of Zhuyi City is integrated, the soldiers of the Yuan army besieging the city can't deal with it, and the ladder has never been erected at all!

Seeing this, Le Jie and Liang Gang could only keep shouting and shouting to boost morale. But in the face of this ironclad defense, Yuan Bing was also powerless.

Soon, the falling fireballs formed a raging fire, they were connected to each other, intertwined, and formed a scorching wall of fire, the people behind could not rush away, and the people in front could not retreat.

More than 5,000 soldiers and horses, including Le Qiao and Liang Gang, were blocked by the wall of fire and could not pass, while Zhang Yan commanded the soldiers to work together to kill all the Yuan soldiers inside the wall of fire.

Yuan Bing screamed again and again, and Le Gang and Liang Gang could only make a detour to advance, avoid the wall of fire, and rush to Zhuyi City.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan ordered Xu Sheng to change the direction of the stone thrower and throw it to both sides, and the scorching wall of fire expanded more and more, directly blocking the advance path of Le Zhuo, Liang Gang and others.

Le Jie and Liang Gang couldn't get by, so they asked the soldiers to bury the fire with soil on the spot, and Yuan soldiers worked together to quickly extinguish the fire wall, but what was shown in front of them was a mountain of corpses and a blood-colored mire gathered on the ground. In the distance from the wall of fire to the city wall, there was not a single Yuan soldier.

Le Gang and Liang Gang saw that the attack was hopeless, and just wanted to retreat, but when they saw Ji Ling leading the troops coming, they said to Le Gang and Liang Gang: "The lord has an order, only advance, not retreat, and those who dare to retreat will be killed!" ”

Le Gang and Liang Gang had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead their troops to attack again, while Ji Ling commanded the soldiers to follow behind Le Gang and Liang Gang. The Yuan army, which numbered about 15,000 people, was once again congested together and launched a new round of attacks on Zhuyi City!

"Niu Jin, lead the crowd to retreat into the city and strictly guard the city gate!" Zhang Yan saw that Yuan Shu did not achieve his goal, and he did not give up, and Yuan soldiers had a lot of troops, and they fought for nearly two hours, but they only killed six or seven thousand Yuan soldiers, in order to preserve their strength, they shouted to Niu Jin outside the city.

Niu Jin listened to the order, immediately led the troops to retreat, and soon withdrew into the city, closing the city gate firmly.

Zhang Yan faced this dense Yuan soldiers, and once again ordered the archers to release their arrows, those archers shot many times in a row, and their physical strength was not as good as before, and after a cluster of arrows were released, the range was obviously much smaller.

Zhang Yan immediately called a military Sima and asked them to change the archers and take turns shooting.

This time the attack was under the full command of Ji Ling, and Ji Ling changed his previous strong attack strategy, specially ordered 10,000 archers, divided into two groups, respectively on the left and right flanks of the army, and began to use bows and arrows to suppress the defense in Zhuyi City.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Ji Ling's order, Yuan Bing fired thousands of arrows, demonstrating the amazing strength of Yuan Jun.

The dense arrows attacked Zhuyi City like flying locusts, and Zhang Yan hurriedly danced the iron spear and kept blocking it.

A cluster of arrows fell, and a large number of the defenders on the walls were knocked down, and not only that, but most of the archers behind the walls were also shot down.

The arrows on this side had just fallen, and another cluster of arrows came over there, and again, thousands of arrows were fired in unison, and there was no clear target for shooting, just kept shooting, and the guards couldn't even raise their heads!

Seeing this, Le Jie and Liang Gang had to admire Ji Linglai, and also created more space for them.

"The Xuzhou soldiers have been completely suppressed by me, if you don't attack yet, when will you wait?" Ji Ling Chong and Liang Gang shouted loudly.

Le Jie and Liang Gang were in good spirits, and the rest of the Yuan soldiers were also inspired, and they swarmed towards Zhuyi City, and under the strong blows of their own archers, Yuan soldiers set up ladders one after another and began to climb towards the city wall.

And on the city of Zhuyi, in the face of the strong attack of Yuan Bing, but there was no power to fight back, seeing that Yuan Bing was about to climb the city wall, Niu Jin and other people who dared to die, suddenly climbed the city wall, risked being shot through the body by arrows, stood on the head of the city and fought with Yuan Bing, and overturned a ladder.
