When Wen Chou was walking from the county yamen to the city wall with his own soldiers, outside the city, Taishi Ciji rushed over with an army of 100,000. At this point, the number of troops surrounding Fuyang reached 140,000.

Under the city walls, Wen Chou looked down and saw countless torches, and it seemed that there were at least a hundred thousand people surrounding him. This made him gasp, it seemed that he was surrounded by himself.

"What about the general?" The soldiers on the city wall on the side also saw this scene and couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

"What can I do? The soldiers will come to block, everyone can rest assured, we can resist the city, we only need to hold the first wave of enemy attacks, and then our reinforcements arrive, it is time to counterattack with all our strength. Although Wen Chou's heart was also shocked by the scene in front of him, but he still had to comfort his subordinates like this, otherwise, once the army's spirit was dissipated, most of the city would be difficult to defend.

Wen Chou's words gave confidence to the soldiers in the city, and now they have no choice but to hope that the reinforcements can arrive sooner.

It's just that how do they know that the reinforcements have been wiped out, and only the wounded General Chun Yuqiong with 80,000 soldiers is left, and they can only hold Nanpi City and dare not come out.

The current war situation is completely unfavorable to them, but these people are not aware of it.

Wen Chou saw Zhang Chao's army outside, and at the same time, he began to walk around the four city towers in fear, and what he wanted to do at this time was to boost the morale of the soldiers below.

Under the city tower, with the arrival of Tai Shici with an army of 100,000, the siege will begin.

Jia Xu, the military advisor, looked at the 30,000 troops of Gan Ning, who had already eaten and drunk well on the side, and was ready with bows and arrows, and said, "Xingba, it's up to you next." ”

"Hehe, the military advisor will look at it." Gan Ning laughed, and then personally took out a bow and arrow stained with fire oil, and lit it with the torch beside him.

As soon as Gan Ning did this, the 30,000 troops behind him all did the same, and suddenly bursts of fire dragons spread out under the city, which made it look down from the city tower to a sea of fire.

The changes under the city also attracted the attention of Yuan Shao's soldiers in the city, and the main general Wen Chou noticed these very early, and immediately said with a shocked expression: "What are they going to do?" Ready to attack with fire? It's just that what can they do with our stone walls? ”

Wen Chou said this, and the Yuan Shao soldiers, who were still a little nervous about Zhang Chaojun's actions before, couldn't help laughing. They are not in the mountains and forests, where they have dead wood to burn, but they are on the walls, so what good is the fire attack for them?

Just when the soldiers were still looking at the city from the city wall, with Gan Ning's shout, a series of fiery bows and arrows shot straight towards the city, and the ten thousand arrows fired in unison like rockets, like gorgeous fireworks in the dark night, colorful.

Seeing the rockets under the city shooting towards the city, many soldiers involuntarily lowered their heads, they were preventing those rockets from shooting at their bodies, but to their surprise, the rockets did not stop on the city wall, but swept past them and flew straight towards Fuyang City.

Seeing the fire-filled arrows flying above their heads shooting into the city like this, Wen Chou was still puzzled, and when the arrows fell, the city behind him suddenly burst into flames.

It's like a house full of gas, suddenly ignited by an open flame, and then unleashed its great power.

The sudden flash of fire, the houses that had long been stained with fire oil in the room, encountered the open flames, and the pressure increased sharply at this moment, and then they exploded together.

This explosion first produced a powerful heat flow, and then this high-temperature air flow rushed outward, first destroying the houses, and then bursting towards the city gate, and then I saw some Yuan Shao's army that was preparing for the replacement under the city was swallowed up by the fire wave.

"Ahh

A very miserable shout sounded in the silent night, and the sound gave people a heart-rending feeling, which made people feel numb all over their bodies after hearing it.

At this moment, Wen Chou's face also changed drastically, when he first entered the city, he also seemed to smell the smell of fire oil, thinking that there were soldiers preparing to defend the city, and he was still thinking about other important things in his heart at that time and did not pay attention to it, that is, there were soldiers to report, and he also pressed it down with an understatement that there was no major matter, but now he knows that this is a dish of wisdom that Zhang Chaoda has prepared for himself a long time ago.

It's just that this is too frightening, but as soon as the peak of the fire wave surges, he lost at least 5,000 soldiers at once.

This was just the beginning, after the fire was ignited, this heat wave did not have time to stop, and it was still burning majestically, slowly coming towards the edge of the city wall.

Looking at it, I am afraid that it will not burn out for a while and a half, and it will not be extinguished. Wen Chou had no choice but to order all the soldiers to come to the city wall, so that the city wall, which was not very big, was crowded with soldiers.

"Put!" Gan Ning, who was watching the fire in the city outside the city, had a fine light in his eyes at this time, and when he saw the crowds surging on the city wall through the firelight, he gave another order, and his 30,000 soldiers with bows and arrows shot over again.

This time, the bow and arrow did not bring fire, and the target of the attack was not in the city, but on the city wall, those Yuan Shao soldiers who could not hide.

"Ahh Ahh

Where the bow and arrow passed, one howl after another sounded, and one after another Yuan Shao soldiers were shot by the bow and arrow, and let out a miserable sound.

"Quick, find a wall and squat down. All the soldiers drew their shields to resist. Seeing the soldiers fall in front of him one after another, Wen Chou felt that his heart was bleeding. The 30,000 people he brought with him this time were elite divisions that had been fighting with him for many years.

I thought that it should be no problem to hold a county town for a few days with these people, but now it seems that he still underestimated the preparation of Zhang Chao's army, and they had already dug a pit just waiting for him to jump down, but the hateful thing is that he hasn't found it yet, so he fell into the trap.

After this fire wave attack and bow and arrow attack, Wen Chou's troops were at least one-third less, so that if he wanted to defend the city, it would undoubtedly become a lot more troublesome, and it was also full of variables, and now he could only put his greatest expectations on the reinforcements from Nanpi City.

Although Wen Chou also knew that the other party had made so many preparations, there would probably be no reinforcements, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Shoot the arrows." Gan Ning under the city continued to command an army of 30,000 to do the act of releasing arrows, these bows and arrows were all transferred by Jia Xu from the entire 200,000 army, the number is very large, but there is no need to worry about the problem of not enough. As long as you can win at the lowest cost, it is not a big deal to lose a few bows and arrows.

Arrows continued to flutter above the walls, and every now and then a soldier could be heard screaming after being hit by an arrow.

There were too many people, and the space in the walls was too small, and although everyone was looking for cover, and some even found shields, there were soldiers who were unlucky to be hit by arrows in the face of bows and arrows falling like a torrential rain, and then there were miserable screams.

Seeing that every moment, the army is being reduced, and Wen Chou's heart is dripping blood. But there was really no way to deal with it, and even he himself needed to be protected by his own soldiers holding shields to be safe and sound. As for rushing out and commanding the army, that is absolutely not to be done.

In front of the city, countless bows and arrows were shooting, and behind the city was a majestic fire still burning, Wen Chou and his elite were scorched in this environment, like a goose in an iron pot, making the last struggle.

Time passed slowly, and for a whole night, Wen Chou and the army survived.

When the sky was completely bright, Wen Chou couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the miserable outfit on the city wall.

There are 30,000 elite troops, but now there are not even half of them who can fight. Moreover, they have not eaten for more than a day, and most of the soldiers' physical strength has dropped significantly.

Of course, this is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that I haven't drunk water for more than a day.

The most indispensable thing in the human body is water. People can go days without eating, but they must not be able to stand without drinking water for a day. Not to mention that last night it was roasted by the scorching fire all night, and everyone felt as if there was smoke in their throats.

The army was exhausted, without any food or water, and surrounded by clusters of county seats, which clearly looked like they were in a desperate situation.

Wen Chou looked at the embarrassed state of the army, and knew in his heart that the situation was not good. He stretched out his arm to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and glanced at the city casually, and immediately lost his color. Tai Shici's army, which had rested all night under the city gate, had already eaten breakfast, and was preparing for the siege at the moment.

"Everyone stand up, the enemy is going to attack the city, defend it for me." Knowing that none of this was over, and that he would have to face a brutal siege battle next, Wen Chou hurriedly shouted.

Under the shouting, soldiers continued to stand up one after another, but it could be seen that even if these people could stand up, their own combat effectiveness was afraid that they would not even be able to exert half of their usual combat effectiveness.

Under the city wall, noticing that the soldiers in the city began to move, the military advisor Jia Xu smiled, and then looked at General Gan Ning on the side and said, "Xingba, you can start." ”

"Okay." Gan Ning, who had already been excited, immediately agreed, and then rode a few steps forward from the group, and then his powerful voice sounded in the air.
