~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wu County, Wu County, the base camp of Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army. Sun Ce in history, the base camp is located in Huiji, and he also understands that Ji Taishou himself. The reason why he did not choose Wu County, where the Sun clan is located, is that Gain will live in the six counties of Jiangdong and can take care of it from all sides. And in this time and space, due to various reasons (of course, the most important reason is Ma Han), Sun Ce only occupied the three counties of Wu County, Danyang, and Huiji, and the rest of the three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang, and Yuzhang did not belong to Wu. Moreover, its main threat came from the direction of Xuzhou, Huaibei, so the base camp was set up in Wu County and led by itself. In this way, it can not only take care of the two counties, but also prevent the enemy of Xuzhou Guangling, all in order to adapt to different situations.

Tai Shici's spying on the defense situation in Wuxian County naturally aroused the vigilance of the Jiangdong Army, and there was a commotion in the city, and soon the alarm was everywhere. There is a team of sentry posts in the four fields outside the city, but these sentry posts are all wearing bamboo hats, wearing clothes, and playing leggings, which are full of Jiangdong characteristics, and Hebei sentry must be completely different from cavalry. Seeing that Tai Shici and the others were all armored horses, with more than 100 people and horses, these sentries did not dare to approach.

Since he was already aware of the enemy, Tai Shici and his servants simply appeared generously and galloped to the city. They had already discovered that the main force of the Jiangdong Army was exhausted, Sun Ce went north, and Cheng Pu went south, at this time, the entire Wu County had only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Wu County only had 2,000 horses, and the horses were only 30. It's still reluctant to defend the city, and don't think about it in the field. As for the pursuit, huh......

After a while, a group of soldiers appeared at the head of the city, and the generals who surrounded the two people with filial piety bands approached the female wall, holding the battlements and looking down.

The first member of the general shouted: "A certain is Wu County Cheng Lu Fan is also, who is under the feet?" Why do you invade my territory? ”

Tai Shi Ci is engaged in reconnaissance, of course, he will not make a big fanfare, and there is no sign of the flag, so Lu Fan does not know. If it weren't for seeing this team of men and horses strong and well-equipped. It's almost as if the pirates from the north are attacking again. Why say "again"? In the past six months, his Yuzhou Mountain Army has landed and harassed in the guise of pirates, but in fact, they have spying on the military situation.

"A certain is to march to the southern general, Qingzhou assassin Shi Tai Shi Ci, on the order of the general, to recruit no ministers."

As soon as Tai Shici's words fell, there was a commotion in the city.

"Horseman! Tai Shi Ci! ”

Lu Fan's face was full of grief and indignation, and he gritted his teeth and said these two names. What a deception! The bones of the lord were not cold, and he knocked on the door silently. After the grief and indignation. But it's a chill, so fast! Before the coffin of the lord was transported back to Wu County, the enemy hit the door, and it was still killed from the east. I wasn't prepared at all.

At this time, Dong Xi, the governor beside him, said in a low voice: "Tai Shi Ci led the scout to come here, it is a good opportunity. Please give the order of the prince to give a subordinate group of men and horses to go around the north gate. If you attack it suddenly, you will be captured. ”

Lu Fan's heart jumped suddenly, not bad. It's a good idea. Dong Xian is a strong general in the Jiangdong army, and he allocated all the horses to him, and suddenly opened the city gate to raid, and the enemy will be unprepared...... Do you want to say yes?

At this moment, a sad and indignant voice came from overhead: "Tai Shi Ci, dog thief!" Go back and tell him to wash his neck. One day, my Sun Kuang will carry a quick knife in his hand and cut off his wolf head as a sacrifice to my brother! ”

Lu Fan lost his voice and said, "It's the fourth son." When I looked up, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy on the wooden pillar next to the gatehouse, holding the pillar in one hand and pointing at Tai Shici below with a halberd in the other, scolding him viciously.

Sun Kuang, Sun Ce's younger brother, looks white and pure, obviously spends more time studying than practicing martial arts on weekdays, such a little boy also wants to raise a knife to kill the dragon and wolf? It's just a mouthpiece.

Tai Shi Ci narrowed his eyes, suddenly picked up his bow and drew his arrow, and shot an arrow.

From Tai Shi Ci's horse station to the gate tower of the city, it is about one hundred and fifty or sixty steps, which has long exceeded the range of ordinary bows and arrows, and even some hard bows can't shoot that far, Yi Lu Fan, Dong Xian and others didn't care, but they never imagined that Tai Shi Ci's bow was a six-stone bow.

When Tai Shici was a ranger in Liaodong in his early years, he always used a four-stone riding bow and a five-stone foot bow, which was already a rare strong archer in the world. After joining the Dragon Wolf Army, Ma Jun made a six-stone pulley bow specially for him. The range and lethality of this bow are equivalent to the leopard bow used by Ma Han in his early years, one hundred and fifty or sixty steps, which is the most powerful range of this bow.

Who is Tai Shi Ci? The top five marksmen of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Han once asked him for advice on archery. Strong bow plus divine shooting, Sun Kuang is pregnant.

Phew-

The arrow was like lightning, and it swept away.

Ahh

The screams were heard throughout the city.

Lu Fan, Dong Xian, and the guards raised their heads, and their souls were almost frightened. But seeing that Sun Kuang's palm was pierced by an arrow, and he was nailed to the wooden pillar, and the blood flow was not much, but the pain was unspeakable.

"Four sons! Four sons! The servants were panicked, shielded again, and struggled to draw arrows.

As a stream of blood arrows marked out from the palm hole, Sun Kuang screamed and fell soft, almost fainting in pain.

Under the city, Tai Shici's cold voice came: "Nian'er is young and ignorant, temporarily spare your life, and punish you with a big precaution." If you don't know what to do, the next arrow will pull out your tongue! ”

Sun Kuang was already sweating profusely in pain, and he couldn't even breathe, where could he still scold?

A hundred steps away, an arrow pierces the palm, what a miracle shot? Dong Xun, who still wanted to raid, didn't dare to say anything.

The guards at the head of the city were stupid, until Dong Xi roared and scolded: "Bastard! Why don't you fire your arrows and shoot these thieves to death! ”

The archers in the guard woke up like a dream, hurriedly scrambled, and drew their bows and arrows.

It's just that before they could aim, Tai Shici and more than a hundred wolves rode away, laughing and riding away. The arrows sneered in the air, and they were all submerged in the smoke and dust that rolled up in the air......

Lu Fan looked at the figure of the people and horses in the distance, and muttered: "The dragon and wolf have invaded, the children of Jiangdong have not yet returned, a bloody battle is inevitable......

……

Rumble! A boulder the size of a millstone fell, and a Yuzhou Mountain soldier's head exploded like a watermelon, and he fell from the ladder to the city with his hands and feet, and fell on the layers of corpses below the city, his hands and legs twitched......

Wow! A basin of boiling water poured down his head, and another soldier who only wrapped his head in a cloth towel covered his face and screamed, and where his fingers couldn't cover it, it was obvious that bubbles were bulging like blowing. Loss of both hands. Naturally, there is only a way to roll down the ladder.

The worst thing was a soldier who had been doused with boiling oil, and his skin was peeled off in large swaths, revealing the steaming bright red tender meat; His eyes were burned blind, like a scalded lobster, and he rolled on the ground with his body bowed, and his screams were not like human voices.

This tragic situation was more terrible than the other, and finally the third group of siege teams were depressed and retreated in panic.

There were bursts of cheers from the top of the city, and all the ladders, hook ladders, and cloud ladders were knocked down, but they couldn't be pushed. Then he poured fire oil on it. The raging fire reflected the joy of the defenders and the frustration of the attackers very clearly.

The main attack commander Guan Cheng jumped like thunder, holding a big axe, rolled up his sleeves and rushed up, ready to cut off a few heads to boost the morale of the army.

At this time, a herald came galloping: "General, the general has an order, let your army withdraw." ”

Guan Cheng slashed at the dirt with an axe, sand and gravel splashed everywhere, and rushed away in anger.

Guan Cheng, who was unconvinced, rushed to the front of the Chinese army's tent on a small hill a hundred feet away from the front army. took off his helmet, saluted Tai Shici in the tent, and said indignantly: "General, why don't you let me be in military justice?" Take me down? My army can charge again. No, twice ......"

Tai Shi Ci said calmly: "You have rushed three times, how much have you lost?" ”

"Two hundred, or three hundred. It's just a force of troops, and the morale of the army is still there, and they can fight again. ”

Tai Shici waved his hand: "Let's take a break for the time being." Rotate Xu Linjun to fight, and if necessary, Ben will give you an order. ”

Guan Chengqi is not smooth, but he can't, who let him attack three times in a row to no avail, and he replied in frustration: "Oh." ”

This was the fifth day after the successful landing and capture of Lou County. Tai Shici left the main book, Li Fu led 3,000 soldiers to guard Lou County, and the Bohai Navy was led by Guan Hai and went up the Yangtze River estuary. After joining up with Chen Deng's troops and horses in Guangling, he launched an attack on Dantu (present-day Zhenjiang, Jiangsu).

On August 23, Tai Shici and Guan Chengqin led 5,000 dragon wolves Xu Lin and 2,000 Yuzhou mountain troops to launch a strong attack on Wu County.

This was the second day of the assault, and the attackers suffered hundreds of casualties with little success.

Hey, let's see how your Xu Linjun attacked the city. With such thoughts, Guan Cheng entered the Zhongjun tent and sat on his knees, looking like he had learned from the scriptures.

I saw Tai Shi Ci take out an arrow, but instead of recruiting troops, he summoned Sima of the Raid Camp and asked, "Are the siege weapons ready?" ”

Sima of the baggage battalion replied: "Yes, it is all ready. ”

Tai Shici's eyes were cold: "Go to war." ”

Knock knock knock, war drums sounded again, and there was no attacking army on the battlefield, only shouts and rolling vibrations louder than the war drums.

Under the stunned gaze of the defenders at the head of the city, ten giant wooden siege engines, under the vigorous push of thousands of soldiers, advanced towards the east gate of Wu County.

This siege machine is more than a foot higher than the city wall, with eight wheels under it, a hanging ladder in front, and it is closed on all sides, so that the inner condition cannot be seen; Covered in cowhide and coated with mortar, it is boxy, like a moving giant house. And after each siege machine, it was followed by a hundred armor soldiers.

The defenders of Wu County had never seen such a thing, and when they saw it at first sight, they were inevitably frightened, and they shot out the arrows in their hands without waiting for the order. But there was a crackling sound, and the arrows were shot at the siege engines, or bounced off or inserted into the mortar, and many of them were fire-bolts, and as a result, there was not even a trace of smoke, and there was no effect at all.

"What is this?" Lu Fan blurted out.

No one could answer, but in the next moment, the answer came its own.

When the siege engines had reached a hundred paces, the defenders turned their attack on the men who were pushing the wheels. Although there is a baffle in front of the wheel, it is still inevitable to be hit. A wave of arrows brought up patches of blood, the servants fell one by one, and the progress of the siege engines slowed down.

At this moment, a sharp drum sound sounded from the Chinese army, and the baffles on both sides of the ten siege engines suddenly slid downward. Snort! Twenty canopies of arrows rained out, and a large number of guards at the head of the city fell from the head of the city one after another.

"There are enemies in the cabin!"

"Hide...... Yes! ”

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the servants shouted in unison, and worked together to pile up the siege weapons dozens of steps forward. In the process, a large number of arrows were continuously fired from the siege engine, suppressing the city guards. It wasn't until they were more than ten steps away from the city wall that the servants let go, turned around and ran wildly with their heads in their hands, glad that they had finally picked up a life.

And the more than ten siege engines - to be precise, the dragon wolf army's new siege weapon "siege wooden tower", the long ladder hanging in front of it was suddenly lowered and smashed heavily on the city wall. Suddenly, the walls cracked and mud splattered.

In the rain of arrows intertwined in the sky, the baffle in front of the siege wooden tower slid down sharply, and one by one the soldiers armed with leather shields, broadswords, and spears rushed out of the building, stepped on the long ladder, and screamed to kill the guards of Wu County.

The defenders didn't even have time to cut the iron hook of the hanging ladder before they were chopped to the ground by Xu Linjun, who jumped down from mid-air.

Dong Xi held a halberd in his hand, personally led the Hu from the top, and started a bloody battle with Xu Linjun, who attacked the city.

It was only at this time that Dong Xi was shocked to realize that these Xu Linjun's equipment was obviously higher than his own. Needless to say, everyone is wearing armor, and the machete they use is as wide as a palm, and the spear shaft is broken as soon as it is split, and only two fingers wide of the ring head knife and one of them will collapse, and after a few rounds of slashing each other, the machete is also curled up, but the ring head knife is broken into two. Many Jiangdong soldiers died tragically under the enemy's sword because of broken weapons.

In the end of the battle, Dong Xi even threw away the halberd in his hand, knocked down a pawn with a fist, and grabbed the opponent's machete. This use, hey, it feels very cool.

It's just that no matter how brave Dong Raid is, it can't make up for the weapon gap, and the twenty archers in each siege tower provide assistance in the rear, which has completely wiped out the defenders' superiority in height, defense and other aspects.

Half an hour later, the defenders were falling more and more, and the counterattack was getting weaker and weaker.

Dong attacked two knives, his armor was shattered, and his arms, face and neck were scarred.

Seeing that there was nothing to defend, Lu Fan, who was supervising the battle on the gatehouse, had to be ruthless: "Abandon the outer city and retreat into the inner city!" ”

With the help of the siege wooden building, the army of a thousand dragons and wolves Xu Lin captured the outer city of Wu County in just one hour.

At this time, Tai Shi Ci smiled lightly and said to Guan Cheng, who was open and couldn't close his mouth: "Now, the Guan Governor will be able to go up." (To be continued......)
