"The whole army is attacking the city!" As soon as the sky dawned, under Sun Ce's order, Sun Cejun moved the whole way.
"Kill!" Although the teams were dressed in clothes of the same color, but the banners were different, the armor was different, and even the weapons were different, Sun Cejun drove the ladder and swooped towards Wancheng.
"This is?!" Liu Mang frowned and looked at the group of Sun Cejun below who was about to approach the city wall, among these charging Sun Cejun, there were all one battalion as a unit, a battalion of thousands of people, and there were more than a dozen kinds of banners in them.
Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu Zheng, Wang, Sun Ce, does Sun Ce have so many generals? Liu Mang really couldn't stand it, if these people under the banner were all generals under Sun Ce, Anhui City would really not be able to hold it this time.
A general who can play the banner must at least be second-rate or above, and he is also the chief general of the first army, even if the military Sima like Cheng Yu reaches the strength, he can't directly play the banner of Chengzi.
This is really going to serve Wancheng in a pot! Although Liu Mang was uneasy in his heart, he was still settled, he was the military soul of all the defenders of Anhui City, if he was afraid, this city would not have to be defended, everyone should surrender directly!
"Come on, come on!" Liu Mang took a deep breath, no matter how many generals you have, this time I will dig out a piece of meat from you to make you feel distressed.
"Young lord, the enemy army has crossed the moat!" Xu Sheng stood beside Liu Mang and reported to Liu Mang that Huang Zhong was put on another city wall by Liu Mang, and he had a task given by Liu Mang.
"Moat!" Liu Mang closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Huh?!" Xu Sheng had never worked with Liu Mang, and he didn't know how Liu Mang used his troops. The moat is a natural barrier for a city, and enemies can throw arrows when crossing it. This can cause great damage to the enemy, and it can also stop the enemy's advance, or at least stop the enemy's advance.
Supporting Sun Cejun is Lu Bujun's task now. But looking at Liu Mang's appearance, he didn't react at all.
In Xu Sheng's gaze, one team after another of Sun Cejun crossed the moat, and after crossing the moat, they were about to pass the city wall, as long as they put down the ladder and climbed up, they could go up to the city wall.
"Slow!" Compared with the radical of the Shaozhuang faction, the middle-aged faction in the Jiangdong Shi clan is much calmer, and they are too smooth. The moat is like flat ground, and it just passes, is there a fraud? Middle-aged and old-school people think more about problems and doubt more things.
The middle and old faction slowed down, and the soldiers under his command also slowed down, and the young Zhuang faction looked at the movements of the middle and old faction, and his face was happy. In their opinion, how can they have so many concerns, rushing over is that as long as they climb the city wall, the credit will be theirs, let those old men eat ashes behind.
"Young lord, they are already less than a hundred steps closer to the city wall!" Xu Sheng continued to report, but Liu Mang still didn't react at all.
"Fifty steps!" Liu Mang opened his eyes. But there was still no movement.
"Forty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps!" Liu Mang finally moved, but he issued an order that Xu Sheng couldn't understand: "The Chengguan army draws the bow and throws, and the black chess army is not allowed to move without my order!" ”
"Yes!" The Chengguan army directly carried out Liu Mang's order. Only more than 900 men and horses drew their longbows one by one and threw arrows out.
"Young lord. You are! Xu Sheng was a little angry, what was he trying to do? Look down on the black chess army! If one-on-one Xu Sheng has full confidence to take this group of chengguan troops down, what does this young lord think, now that the enemy is close to the city wall, it is possible to put down the cloud ladder and enter the city at any time, if it was because of the range problem in the moat before, then now, the arrows thrown out do not need to be aimed at all and will definitely hit the enemy.
However, Liu Mang only let the Chengguan army move, and the black chess army forbade action, Xu Sheng raised his hand, he wanted the black chess army to do the same.
"Xu Sheng, have I ever sued you, you can question me! You can be unhappy with me, but once I give the order, you have to do it! Liu Mang looked at Xu Sheng deadly, he knew that Xu Sheng's martial arts were very strong, and he could only be unlucky to get close to Xu Sheng and have a conflict, not to mention that these three thousand black chess troops listened to Xu Sheng better than Liu Mang.
Under Liu Mang's eyes, Xu Sheng succumbed, if this new master didn't know how to soldier, then what was the defeated himself.
"Boom!" More than 900 chengguan troops threw out the arrows in their hands in unison, and each arrow did not need to be deliberately aimed, as long as they found a general direction, they could all shoot people.
All of a sudden, there was a scream below, "Rolling logs, falling rocks!" Liu Mang continued to give orders, and the less than 1,000 Chengguan troops were doing things, and the 3,000 black chess troops were like spectators, and they didn't have anything to do at all.
What the hell is he trying to do? Didn't he know that to defend the city was to keep the enemy at bay? Although the 1,000 Chengguan army can also bring damage to Sun Cejun below, the damage is limited, especially those enemies who go forward and follow each other are like chicken blood.
"Hahahaha!" Standing on the side of the moat, Zhang De suddenly laughed, the dead and wounded in front were all his subordinates, but he still laughed happily, why, because from this rain of arrows, rolling stones, and falling trees, he finally determined an important information, that is, the defenders of this Anhui city are really not good.
This kind of rain of arrows is completely drizzle for the entire siege force, the scale of a thousand people.
Zhang De rushed forward, so he knew that these thousand people were not to worry about at all, he was not a fool, his Zhang family had already formed an alliance with the Bao family and the Ling family. The credit for winning the city this time is shared by several families, otherwise each family of 1,000 people can really climb the city wall like this, and the casualties must be very large, these are all characters cultivated by the major families since childhood.
"Rush, rush, the whole army is attacking the city!" Zhang De has no scruples, but there are less than a thousand people, and they are all tired troops, and the three of them have three thousand coalition troops, and they can't take the entire Anhui City!
"Let's rush too!" Not only Zhang De saw it, but other families also saw it, those old foxes were not stupid at all, there were only less than a thousand people on the city wall. This is completely a war feat, if you take the city, you can not only get the siege merit. It is also possible to kill the enemy general, and even His Royal Highness the King of Shu is also a credit.
"Kill, kill, kill!" One by one, they rushed towards the city wall of Anhui City, and one by one the ladders were set up on the city wall, and those Sun Cejun were full of excitement.
The soldiers are not stupid, and the enemies are naturally happy, so not only will their own masters be rewarded, but their own families will also be indispensable.
"The first to climb the city wall will be rewarded with ten acres of fertile land!" Some of the nobles were in a hurry. Their soldiers and horses are behind, and now it is slow to get to the city first, so they can only grit their teeth and shout, hoping that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and some of the soldiers of the warrior clan are crazy when they see their masters so generous.
This is ten acres of fertile land, and these fields move the hearts of these private soldiers more than gold and silver, and there are ten acres of fertile land. Their mother-in-law, their children will be able to live, although the annual rent is heavy, but one or two acres of ten acres can still be left as rations, which is enough, at least eat and drink without worry.
And those who didn't have a family. These good fields can help him get a good wife, with a big butt and a strong one, so that he can work better and give birth to dolls. One by one is full of energy, and the Lu Bujun on the city wall seems to them to be fish on the chopping board.
"Lord, you look at Wancheng and are about to be taken!" Lu Su looked at Sun Ce with a smile. He saw a rare smile on Sun Ce's face, and the two of them had been watching the movement of Wancheng below. The ability to attack that arrow rain is really as strong as the end.
An hour at most? Two hours? Sun Ce can afford it, and now it's only bright, according to this progress, I'm afraid that he will be able to enter Wancheng in the middle of the day!
Sun Ce is also under pressure, judging from the information of the scouts, the wolf rider in Bingzhou is not far away, Sun Ce has put the scout a hundred miles away in order to guard against the wolf rider in Bingzhou, and immediately reports any movement.
The wolf rider in Bingzhou is the king of the field, even if Sun Ce is conceited, he also knows that it is Sun Ce who suffers in the field with the wolf cavalry in the field, not to mention countless casualties, and it is possible to tear the hole directly in the big array, how much can this 100,000 army save at that time.
The most important point is that the main force brought by Sun Ce is only 30,000, 10,000 are guarding the naval army camp in Anhui City, and now there are only 20,000 in his hands, and he lost 5,000 yesterday in the siege, only 15,000, and those scholars on the side, don't look at the large number of people, but they are all waste, at least Sun Ce is sure that he can use his 30,000 people to destroy these 70,000 miscellaneous soldiers.
The most important thing is that none of these soldiers have ever seen a cavalry group!
Jiangdong has few horses, and many waterways are mainly based on water warfare, 6 battles are few, sometimes the naval army is both a naval army and a siege city, and the cavalry, especially the large-scale cavalry, has really not encountered, let alone the heavy armored cavalry like the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou.
Sun Ce had worry on his face, but then he disappeared, he could enter Anhui City at noon according to this, as long as he entered Anhui City, even if the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou was doubled, what if the cavalry was stronger, he could attack the city?
"Let me go first!" A private soldier of the Wang family rushed to the city, but when he arrived at the city, he found that the ladder was not enough. So he said very savagely to a private soldier of another scholar clan on the side.
"I'm going to go first!" Others ignore him, there are ten acres of fertile land on the city wall, this is a wife, how can you let it.
"Why for you!" But as soon as he stepped on the ladder, he was pulled.
"We are the servants of the Wang family, you get out of here!" The private soldiers of the Wang family are very barbaric, no wonder the Wang family was originally a smuggler of salt, and the private salt was forbidden when the Han Dynasty was still ruled, and if it was caught, it was to be killed, so most of these private soldiers of the Wang family had human lives in their hands.
"I'm still the Li family's private soldier, why should I give you the first time!" What about the Wang family, he may be afraid of ordinary soldiers, but he is also a private soldier of the scholar clan, how can this soldier let him.
"me here!" Seeing that it was useless to speak, the private soldiers of the Wang family made a direct move, and with a sudden force, the private soldiers of the Li family were directly dragged down and fell to the ground, stumbling over the land under the city wall, and half of their faces were spent.
"How dare you hit me! Lao Tzu, kill you! The Li family's private soldiers were also angry, and he went up with a knife.
"Ahhh The soldiers of the two sides immediately fought fiercely.
"The mud can't hold up the wall!" Sun Ce looked at the private soldiers of the warrior clan who were fighting there and said disdainfully, he dared to make black hands against friendly troops on the battlefield, and he was really not afraid of death. Don't you be afraid of mutiny! If there were such soldiers, Sun Ce would have cleaned up the portal by himself.
Fortunately, the two heads of the family still exercised restraint and prevented the situation from further unfolding, and even formed an alliance under the city.
"Quick! Come on! Wang Li and the two principals panicked, because someone had already climbed the city tower.
