Chapter 193: Siege
"Gong Jin, what do you see?" Sun Jian asked.
Zhou Yu looked at the heavily walled city in front of him, and frowned: "Lu Bu took the initiative to give up Nanyang by retreating to improve his strategic situation!" Lu Bu will definitely defend this city, and he will never collapse without a fight like before! Lord, our army must be prepared for a vicious battle, this battle will not be easy! β
Sun Ce sneered: "Gong Jin is too worried! Our army will surely fall in this city! β
Sun Jian laughed, "My son is brave, you will lead the army to attack the city!" β
Sun Ce responded to the promise, turned the reins of the horse, and led 30,000 foot soldiers forward. The drums of war rumbled, and 30,000 foot soldiers rushed towards the city like waves, and the shouts shook the sky.
Yan Yan pulled out his sword and swung it forward, and the arrows on the city wall rained down, and the sky darkened in an instant. The crackling sound sounded one after another, and Sun Jianjun's wave was stirred up with ripples! Sun Jianjun suffered a lot of losses, so he quickly slowed down, took the shield hand as the lead, and slowly rushed towards the city with various siege equipment.
Hundreds of heavy bed crossbows were rolled out of the city walls, and the angles were adjusted. With Yan Yan's order, ten thousand crossbows were fired in unison, and huge spears and arrows roared out, instantly breaking through the shield defense line and knocking several soldiers away! As far as the eye could see, the 30,000 Sun Jianjun were beaten to pieces by the powerful bed crossbow, and the screams rang out!
Sun Ce was greatly annoyed and urged his soldiers to continue to advance.
Zhou Yu whispered to Sun Jian: "Lord, Lu Bu's army is well prepared, and in a hurry, it is difficult for our army to break through this city. You should retreat for a while, build siege equipment, and find a way to learn about the local situation from the local population before making plans. Sun Jian nodded and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
The golden bell rang loudly.
Sun Ce glanced back, very unwilling, but still gave the order to retreat.
A battle ended, and Sun Jian's army lost hundreds of men, but he hadn't even touched the city walls.
In the governance office, Yan Yan and the others laughed. Lei Tong smiled: "It is said that Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger, and I don't think that's it!" The generals nodded in agreement. Lei Tong clenched his fists and asked for his life: "General, the last general is willing to take advantage of the night to raid Sun Jian's camp with three thousand strong soldiers!" Yan Yan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay!" If General Lei Tong can succeed, I will ask the general for General Lei Tong! Lei Tong was overjoyed, and said confidently: "General rest assured, tonight will definitely succeed!" β
Dead.
Lei Tong led three thousand soldiers out of the city quietly and touched Sun Jian's military camp. Sun Jian's military camp was lying there far away, quietly, and the sound of a change came down at once, echoing in the wilderness, looking so empty and lonely.
Lei Tong led 3,000 strong soldiers to the front of the gate and lurked. Lei Tong observed for a moment, and when he saw that the other party was completely defenseless, he couldn't help but get excited. With a wave of his hand. More than a dozen archers immediately stepped forward and released an arrow, and the sentry at the gate of the fortress fell. Lei Tong waved the big knife in his hand, and three thousand strong soldiers rushed in. They rushed into the tents one after another, ready to kill. However, the tent was empty.
"No one!" "There's no one here either!" β¦β¦
Lei Tong immediately realized that something was wrong, and his face changed, "It's not good!" Evacuate! β
Before the words fell, countless torches suddenly lit up around them, and at the same time, the sound of killing suddenly rose. Lei Tong hurriedly looked around, only to see that countless Sun Jianjun had already surrounded them!
Sun Ce came out of the horse and sneered: "Little thief, you actually came to steal the camp!" He pointed his spear at Lei Tong, "Dismount and surrender!" Otherwise, there will be no dead body!"
Lei Tong shouted: "Brothers, rush out with me!" The three thousand soldiers shouted violently and rushed forward at Sun Ce's army.
Sun Ce sneered, and for a moment held the spear in his hand. In an instant, arrows rained down, and three thousand strong soldiers were shot to the ground! Sun Jian's army came up from all sides! Lu Bu's army fell into the boundless and endless tide, fought desperately, and died one after another! These soldiers of the Lu Bu army are not brave, but in the boundless tide of the enemy, they are like drowning people, desperately struggling but to no avail! The shouts and screams were intertwined, making the originally silent night extremely noisy!
Yan Yan, who was on the city wall, was taken aback when he saw that Lei Tong's department was surrounded, and hurriedly led 5,000 men and horses out of the city to rescue. However, not far out of the city, Sun Jianjun, who was ambushed on both sides, suddenly killed. Yan Yan hurriedly met the battle, and under the blow of the opponent's superior forces, he suffered heavy losses and had to retreat into the city.
At this time, the battle on Lei Tong's side was in full swing. LΓΌ Bu's army struggled desperately in a desperate situation, and some soldiers broke out of the encirclement, but many more were still besieged to the death, and the soldiers fell in pools of blood one by one. Lei Tong stared at Sun Ce with blood-red eyes and rushed forward, "I want your life!" "Swing your broadsword and slash down in the air!
Sun Ce led the reins of the horse to dodge, and then carried the gun with both hands, and the spear stabbed towards Lei Tong's chest. Lei Tong was unavoidable and shocked. Burst! The spear pierced through Lei Copper's chest!
Yan Yan stood on the city wall and saw that the battle in the distance gradually stopped, and slapped the wall battlements heavily, "Damn! β
"General, some of our people have stepped back." Adjutant General Wu Yi pointed out of the city and shouted.
Yan Yan hurriedly looked down, only to see that hundreds of his own soldiers had already rushed to the city gate. Immediately shouted: "Open the gates!" β
The gates were opened, hundreds of routs rushed into the city, and the gates were closed again.
Yan Yan glanced at Sun Jianjun's military camp outside the city, frowned, and said to Wu Yi beside him: "Something is wrong!" Wu Yi asked puzzledly, "What?" β
β¦β¦
Time slipped into the middle of the night, and the world became silent again.
"General, no one pays attention to us." A soldier said. The leading officer nodded and ordered, "Everyone immediately raid the East City Gate!" Act fast and signal as soon as it's done! "No!"
The hundreds of routs who had fled into the city not long ago left their garrisons and hurried towards the gates.
When I came to the vicinity of the city gate, I saw that the city gate tower in front of me was pitch black, and the city gate below seemed to be defenseless. Hundreds of people couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Suddenly, the originally dark scene suddenly lit up, and countless Lu Bu soldiers appeared around, and for the first time, the torch blades surrounded them, and the roofs around were all Lu Bu soldiers armed with offensive crossbows. These hundreds of people were shocked!
Yan Yan appeared on the city gate tower and sneered: "You guys really have a good idea!" Do you really think I'm stupid? Under such a siege, how can anyone be able to break through! Shoot the arrows! β
Before the words were settled, arrows rained down all around, and hundreds of elites of Sun Jian's army who were surrounded in the center were shot down one after another. I rushed towards the city gate tower like crazy without being shot, and I wanted to fight hard! However, the ensuing rain of arrows shattered their attempts completely, and they fell to the ground like the wind blowing seedlings!
