476, Dengcheng
Ling Tong Dong attacked the two of them, and Sun Ce commanded and dispatched in the rear, and the generals at all levels only needed to control their own subordinates, and the arrows rained down, but they couldn't stop the two Ling Tong Dong Raids who were already full of energy to achieve the first success.
Xiakou is built at the mouth of the river, the city is nearly thirty meters high, this height, in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, extremely rare, not to mention, the two sides of the city are also arranged with condescending commanding heights, from the height to the place overlook, the whereabouts of the Jiangdong soldiers and horses are unobstructed, the stones and arrows are like no money, under such a high-pressure blow, the number of casualties of the soldiers in Jiangdong can be imagined.
Sun Ce on the five-story ship squinted slightly, surrounded by Sun Quan and Lu Fan Buqi and a few strategists, all of whom were staring at the chaotic battlefield in front of them.
"Brother, will the casualties be a little bigger if you fight like this?" Sun Quan was a little worried, yesterday day, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong were killed, if it continues to attack hard, when the time comes, the casualties will be really not small.
"It doesn't matter"
Sun Ce waved his hand and said: "It's not for my brother and not to be considerate of the soldiers, it's just that this Xiakou is too important, and now that Liu Biao has just died, it is a good time, we have an innate advantage, if we can capture Jingzhou before others, what can these sacrifices be?" ”
"But there's no way to attack like this? Our army does have more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, but the defenders in the city also have 40,000 or 50,000. Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
When Sun Ce heard this, he was not dissatisfied with Sun Quan's questioning. just sighed lightly: "If there is really no way, the brother will not use the life of the soldier to fill it, can Zhongmou have other ways to teach the brother?" ”
Lu Fan Buqiu, a few strategists and a few other strategists suddenly looked at Sun Quan. Although Sun Quan is young, he has shown extremely extraordinary strategy in these four or five years, which may be slightly inferior to him as good at commanding troops as his father and brother, but in terms of strategic vision, he is far better than his father and brother, which even Sun Ce himself admitted in front of everyone.
Sun Quan heard this. shook his head, in the face of a fortified city like Xiakou, as long as the general defending the city was not kicked in the head by a donkey. Otherwise, there is no other way but to attack, and for now, the defenders on Xiakou are under the command of Wen Ping, not only do they not have a trace of turmoil. It is also a strong will to fight.
Everything is so well organized. didn't give Sun Ce any chance to take advantage of, if Huang Zu guarded Jiangxia, he might worry about logistics, but Huang Zu is dead, the new Taishou is Liu Qi, and the Sun and Liu families have long been enemies of life and death, which is beyond doubt. Based on this premise, Liu Qi would not surrender to Sun Ce even if he died. Not to mention that he will not have a chance to take advantage of, the resources under the city are constantly sent to the city, arrows and crossbows, boulders and rolling wood, all kinds of equipment to defend the city, all available, Sun Ce and Sun Quan and others do not know that Liu Qi has ordered someone to empty the entire Xiakou memory.
In the face of this situation, Jiangdong soldiers and horses pay huge casualties is only expected, Wen Ping is not an ordinary general, in Jingzhou, this acre of three points, compared to Huang Zhong Wei Yan who guarded Changsha with Liu Pan is not known for the time being, Wen Ping's reputation in recent years is extremely great, in the past few years he relied on killing the enemy to make Liu Biao favor, and in recent years, he has self-precipitation, towards the direction of Confucian generals to progress, if he is given another five or ten years of tempering, Wen Ping is definitely a first-class general who is not inferior to Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Ping's performance is too prominent, and the Jiangdong generals have locked their eyes on him, the so-called shooting people first shoot horses and capture thieves and capture the king first, and now Xia Kou's command power is in the hands of Wen Ping, as long as Wen Ping has an accident, Xia Kou will be chaotic, so Ling Tong and Dong Xi Huang Gai and others have targeted Wen Ping.
"Kill"
Ling Tong and Dong Xian were like spiders, their powerful limbs tightly clinging to the city wall, and with the strength of the eagle's hook, they quickly headed towards the city, and the less than two thousand dead soldiers left behind them also followed.
"Shoot them."
On the city tower, Wang Wei's eyes widened angrily, he was very worthy of the name taken by his father, that face, there was really a charm of not being angry and arrogant, the direction where Ling Tong Dong attacked and led the dead soldiers to attack, it was the area that Wang Wei was responsible for, seeing that nearly two thousand enemy troops were like spiders, sticking to the city wall and quickly approaching the city, how could Wang Wei let them get their wish, the long sword in his hand suddenly fell, and waves of arrows shot down again.
It's just that this kind of angle can achieve the effect is not very ideal, the defenders of the city want to force Dong Raid Ling Tong and the wave of dead soldiers to retreat, and they paid two waves of arrow rain, but they only killed less than 300 people, this angle, Ling Tong and Dong Raid and others made their bodies close to the city wall, so that the threat of the archers in the city to them was reduced by five or six layers.
Dong Xi and Ling Tong glanced at each other, and their hearts were excited, this method was still what they suddenly remembered last night, Xiakou City is high, if it is a five-story ship, it is okay, but there are not many ships with them, and they cannot be easily lost, the value of a building ship is more precious than thousands of soldiers, and at present, under Sun Ce's command, it is only four or five ships, which are still snatched from the naval army of the original imperial court, and the princes of the Central Plains fight frequently on horse, but they rarely turn their attention to the Jiangdong area, This gave Sun Ce a good opportunity, not only to bring a group of Lou ship officials who were good at building official ships under his command, but also to collect the hundreds of years of ship savings of the Han family.
Five-story floors, at least ten zhang high, each can carry about 3,000 soldiers, but these ships in Sun Ce's hands have been in disrepair for a long time, and many functions have been lost, so they can only be taken out to vibrate the prestige, as well as for transportation, otherwise, with the height of the five-story floor, these tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses can directly kill Xiakou directly from the building ship, and now, these seemingly majestic building ships can no longer withstand the impact of large city defense equipment, otherwise Sun Ce would not have been so laborious to take Xiakou.
"A little faster"
Sun Ce's face was expressionless, but he was a little anxious in his heart, now the news of Liu Biao's illness and death, if nothing else, has been learned by the princes of all families, not to mention, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, these three families are not far from Jingzhou, and the transfer of troops and planning, at most two days, you will be able to garrison the border, and the waterway will be smooth, especially Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, Shouchun is also very close to Xiakou, however, Yuan Shu is not as decisive as Sun Ce, but it is not as fast as Jiangdong soldiers and horses, and he has paid such a price, and he can't go home empty-handed, this is Sun Ce's code of conduct, This Xia Kou, he is really going to decide.
seemed to feel Sun Ce's anxiety, but saw Sun Quan and said softly: "Big brother, the two generals Ling Tong and Dong Xi have already killed the city wall. ”
Sun Ce's eyesight is not bad, he naturally sees it, but he is not as optimistic as Sun Quan, he is also a person who has been in battle for a long time, how can he not know the danger of fighting alone.
"It's up to you."
Sun Ce's eyes swept to Han Dang, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and other generals who charged a little later, and now Ling Tong Dong Xi was only one step away from jumping onto the city wall of Xiakou, with their strength, even if the more than 1,000 dead soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they could only resist for a while, and the main force that could really capture Xiakou for Sun Ce was still Huang Gai Zhou Tai and other generals and the 50,000 elite Jiangdong soldiers.
"Shake it up"
Han Dang's face was resolute, he was riding a ship, the defense was much stronger than the clipper, although the board of the ship was full of arrows, but the casualties were not large, but the speed was a little slower, not as flexible and fast as the clipper.
The same situation also happened to Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang and others, at the moment, Ling Tong and Dong Xikan jumped up to the city tower, and there was not much time to buy for them, if they couldn't grasp the opportunity, when the more than 1,000 dead soldiers were not in battle, I am afraid that even Dong Ling's two generals would have to pay for their lives, which no one wants to see.
Ling Tong Dong attacked and the more than 1,500 people who dared to die at the end of the city jumped onto the city, and as everyone expected, they were greeted by arrows like black rain.
The arrows entered the body, and the crisp sound resounded one after another, and life was terrifyingly humble.
The long sword in Wang Wei's hand fell again, and four or five thousand defenders silently let go of the fingers of the twisted arrow, silently killing the machine, instantly enveloping Dong Xi Lingtong and the one thousand and five Ming people who dared to die, and the screams continued, no one had that time to sigh, in this sinister environment, it was extremely difficult to save their lives. (To be continued......)
