Ji Ling held the buttress in his hand and stood on the south pass of the nest, with a solemn expression.

Ji Ling followed Yuan Shu to conquer the Yellow Turban in the first year of Zhongping, and it has been a full thirteen years now, during which he has experienced many wars and vicious battles, and he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles.

When it comes to the scale of the war, this one is nothing at all.

I think that back then, when the princes of the eighteen towns were discussing Dong Zhuo, 500,000 Kwantung troops gathered outside Bishui Pass, and the scene was big, and the 30,000 Jiangdong troops living under the nest city at this time were really insignificant compared to the Kwantung Army of that year.

If you want to talk about the degree of danger, the battle of Shouchun a few months ago is really dangerous, the combat effectiveness of the Cao army is better than that of Sun Ce's Jiangdong army, and the strength of the Cao army is 150,000, which is much greater than today's Jiangdong army.

But for some reason, Ji Ling's mood at this moment was even more solemn than during the Battle of Shouchun.

Looking back, a thousand archers were already waiting at the head of the city, and the nest was a small city, with a radius of only ten miles, and it was already a little crowded to put a thousand archers on the south pass.

But then again, Yuan Jun didn't have any more archers.

Most of these thousand archers were soldiers of Lujiang, and they had basically never participated in decent battles.

Not far from Ji Ling's side, an archer was even so nervous that his teeth were fighting.

Ji Ling subconsciously shook his head, a recruit is a recruit, and he was already so nervous that he was about to suffocate before the battle began.

Fortunately, this is a defensive battle, and if it is replaced by a field battle, the Jiangdong Army only needs one charge to collapse them!

In the city pass, more than a dozen catapults of Yuan Jun have been set up, and the strong men selected from the displaced people have also been in place, waiting for Ji Ling's order, just waiting for Ji Ling's order, these hundreds of strong men will work hard to start the catapult under the guidance of the trumpeter, and throw the boulders weighing dozens of catties to the outside of the city.

It's a pity that it's a rainy day, otherwise you can replace the stones with a fierce fire oil tank wrapped in straw rope, which will fall into the enemy's infantry formation after being ignited, and the lethality is especially great!

Further back, five hundred hoplites were resting against the base of the wall with their eyes closed.

These 500 armored infantry are the old department of the Yuan family, and they have participated in the battle of Shouchun, the battle of Xia Cai and the battle of Longkang, one by one can be said to have crawled out of the pile of dead, at this moment of the war, they are expressionless, and many veterans seem to be asleep, and the heavy rain can not affect their sleepiness at all.

As a battle-hardened veteran, I know better than anyone what it means to have plenty of physical strength.

More stamina means you'll have a better chance of killing your enemies, and you'll have a better chance of surviving the battlefield.

Therefore, the veteran will take advantage of all the gaps to sleep and hurry up to recover his strength.

Ji Ling turned around again, and the Jiangdong Army was surging like a tide, rolling and crushing.

In just a few moments, the advance of the Jiangdong Army had already entered within two hundred paces.

The catapults on both sides took the lead in starting to bombard, but the infantry array in Jiangdong did not slow down in the slightest.

Seeing that Jiang Dongjun showed no signs of slowing down, the corners of Ji Ling's mouth immediately twitched.

What do you mean? Isn't Sun Ce'er crazy? Aren't you going to send light troops to clear the pits and ditches outside the city? Could it be that Sun Ce was actually ready to use the corpse of Jiangdong Army to fill the trench?

The Jiangdong Army was like a big tide surging, rolling towards Juchao City.

The first to inflict casualties on the Jiangdong army was the pit dug by Yuan Junjun.

Yuan Jun dug hundreds of trenches and pits outside the southern pass of Juchao, and the pits were full of bamboo nails and thistles.

In an instant, the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed to the front fell into the trap one after another, or fell into the trench, and then were pierced by the trap and the iron thistle and bamboo nails in the trench and were bruised all over the place, and some unlucky Jiangdong soldiers even fell sideways into the pit, and were pierced through the body by bamboo nails and iron thistles, and fell into the pit screaming and screaming.

The formation of the Jiangdong Army immediately became chaotic.

However, it is unbelievable that the Jiangdong Army still did not slow down, let alone stop, and sent light soldiers to fill the traps and trenches, but instead sent hundreds of light soldiers to jump into the traps and trenches, and then each of them carried wooden planks on their shoulders, paving a smooth road for the follow-up robes and siege equipment.

Stepping on the passage paved with life and blood, the follow-up Jiangdong Army gritted its teeth and pushed the siege equipment to continue to approach the Juchao City Pass, approaching quickly.

(Dividing Line)

The head of the nest city.

The corners of Ji Ling's mouth twitched violently.

Crazy, Sun Ce must be crazy!

Filling in the pit trench is just a few hours, and it will only take half a day to die, and Sun Ce'er can't even wait for half a day? Sun Ce'er is so impatient?

Come on, Sun Ce, just let the horses come.

Last time in Shouchun, we didn't have a good fight.

Today, here, let's have a good time!

Sun Ce, Ji may not be as good as you in field battles, but defending the city, you are far behind!

Come on, Sun Ce, even if you let the horses come, just filling the pits and trenches outside the city is not enough, unless you can fill the walls of Juchao City with the corpses of the Jiangdong Army, otherwise, you don't want to take Juchao City!

Come on, Sun Ce, let the horse come, I'm waiting for you!

(Dividing Line)

The Jiangdong Army is in the main formation, and the nest is on the car.

Sun Ce's hands were clutching the guardrail, and his knuckles were already slightly white because of excessive force.

Although they were far away, Sun Ce seemed to be able to see the painful expressions on the faces of the Jiangdong soldiers who jumped into the pits and trenches, and their feet had been pierced by thistles, but they didn't cry out in pain, but just clenched their teeth tightly, but just carried the wooden planks tightly, and used their blood to pave a passage for the robes!

At this moment, Sun Ce's heart is dripping blood, these are all his soldiers, but they are all his Sun Ce's soldiers!

Sun Ce turned his head suddenly, stared at Zhou Yu deadly, and asked through gritted teeth: "Gongjin, is it worth it?" ”

Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the outline of the city in front of him through the vast rain curtain, and said in a dull tone: "Bo Fu, a long pain is better than a short pain, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" ”

(Dividing Line)

The Jiangdong Army was like a big wave, rolling forward.

There are constantly traps and trenches blocking the way, and there are also constantly Jiangdong soldiers who are not afraid of death and jump into the traps and trenches, paving the way for the follow-up robes and siege equipment with their lives and blood.

There are still a hundred steps from the moat, but the Jiangdong Army has paid the price of hundreds of casualties!

However, the casualties of the Jiangdong Army were not without cost, and the siege equipment of the Jiangdong Army finally approached less than 100 paces away from Juchao Pass.

However, the last remaining hundred paces was the most dangerous and difficult.

The real test for the Jiangdong Army has just begun.

The casualties just now were just hors d'oeuvres before the main meal.

(Dividing Line)

The head of the nest city.

Seeing that the Jiangdong army was finally approaching within a hundred steps of the city wall, Ji Ling suddenly pulled out the ring head knife and roared hoarsely.

"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"

"Shoot them, shoot them!"

"Don't be afraid to get your bow and arrows wet, release them at full speed!"

"Catapults continue to attack and smash them to death!"

"Put on bigger rocks and stone them to death!"

Ji Ling roared almost morbidly, because he knew very well that this last hundred paces distance was the most difficult for the attacking Jiangdong army, except for counterattacking with catapults, they had almost no power to fight back, and for the defending side, this short less than half a meal was the most precious opportunity to kill the enemy.

During this time, the defenders can reap the lives of the attackers with impunity!

"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"

"Shoot them!"

"Shoot them!"

After getting through the initial tension, the archers of the Yuan army at the head of the city gradually eased up, roaring hysterically one by one, while frantically pulling their bows and releasing arrows, and then pulling their bows, and releasing arrows......

The dense arrows poured down towards the Jiangdong Army like a torrential rain.

The Jiangdong Army had to beware of the pit under its feet, and also beware of the arrows pouring down from the sky, and the casualties began to increase sharply, especially in the last fifty steps, almost filling it with their lives!

The Jiangdong Army held its head on its head, gritted its teeth, struggled in the sea of blood, and struggled forward.

However, as long as you are determined enough, there will always be a time when the journey will be over, no matter how difficult it is.

Finally, the vanguard of the Jiangdong army has approached the front of the moat, with the order of the veteran general Cheng Pu, the hoplites wearing heavy armor and carrying the shield on their shoulders quickly stepped forward and set up a shield wall on the outside of the moat.

Although the archers of the Jiangdong Army were still at a disadvantage, they at least had the strength to fight back.

At the same time, six or seven trench bridges were also pushed out and quickly erected onto the moat.

Almost as soon as the moat bridge was erected, siege towers, ladders, pointed poles, wooden ox carts and other siege equipment began to rush to the moat bridge and prepare to cross the river.
