Li Wei attacked Lu Bu, but Li Wei attacked Lu Bu not so that he could live, but so that Lu Bu could live. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the sneak attack on Lu Bu, Li Wei quickly turned around and hugged Lu Bu's fallen body, and at the same time said to Lu Bu who had been knocked unconscious with an apologetic face: "General, I'm sorry, I, Li Wei, am living and dying with you in the next life, one row and two rows, protect the general to return to the city, and the rest, let's live and die together!"

After giving an order to his subordinates, Li Wei turned around and rushed towards the Yellow Turban soldiers with a resolute face, and after hearing his order, the second platoon of the first platoon, which suffered the heaviest casualties, immediately rushed back with Lu Bu, but the squad leader, deputy squad leader and platoon leader and deputy platoon commander of each squad in the first and second platoons all stayed, and they stayed for nothing else, just to die with their own soldiers.

Under the desperate cover of Li Wei and the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company, Lu Bu gradually retreated to the city gate hole, and saw Lu Bu retreat to the city gate hole, Li Wei immediately shouted, let the equation throw the fire thunder bag, but at this time, there are still soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company at the city gate, who are fighting with the Yellow Turban soldiers, if they throw down the fire and thunder bag at this time, they will inevitably kill their own people.

Just when the equation hesitated, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company at the city gate shouted in unison, asking the equation to throw the fire thunder bag and cover Lu Bu to retreat into the city, after hearing the shout of the Sharp Knife Company, the equation gritted his teeth and took the lead in throwing down the first fire thunder bag, and as soon as he threw it, the soldiers of the Hundred Beast Battalion around him naturally did not hesitate, and lit the fire and thunder bag and threw it down.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In a series of explosions, many Yellow Turban soldiers were blown away, but at the same time, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company who were still fighting with them just now were also gone, and several large craters were blown out in front of the city gate.

Looking at the big pit of black smoke still emitting from the city, Equation only felt that his heart was dripping blood, but he couldn't do anything.

Under the cover of the fire thunder bag, Lu Bu and several soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company retreated to the city gate, but the remaining soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company never had a chance to return.

After Lu Bu retreated into the city, the Yellow Turban soldiers saw that Lu Bu had slipped away in their hands, so they began to attack the remnants of the Sharp Knife Company even more frantically, and it didn't take long for the last Sharp Knife Company soldier in the city, the company commander Li Wei was also killed.

When Li Wei died, he was standing with his back against the city wall, covered in blood and scarred, and a spear stuck in his chest was a fatal blow that took his life, although he was already dead, his eyes were still open, his left hand held the neck of a Yellow Turban soldier, and the Miao knife in his right hand pierced through the body of the Yellow Turban soldier.

After the Yellow Turban Army's storming car was desperately destroyed by the Dingping Army, the Yellow Turban Army pushed a new rushing car towards the city gate. However, this time, the Dingping army did not make the same mistake again, and the firepower on the tower of the city gate focused on the Yellow Turban Army's city-charging vehicles, and the remaining five taels of the Yellow Turban Army's city-charging vehicles were destroyed one after another.

While the battle at the city gate was in full swing, the desperate fight on the southern city wall was still going on.

Originally, because Guan Yu personally led the Sharp Knife Company to support the southern city wall, the Yellow Turban Army had gradually been pressed down from the city wall. However, due to the addition of the new force of the Yellow Turban Army, the situation was gradually reversed by the Yellow Turban Army. However, the Yellow Turban Army did not take advantage of anything, and as the Dingping Army continued to throw its strength into the southern city wall, the two sides formed a stalemate on the southern city wall.

At this time, the situation on the southern city wall is like two bulls in a fierce battle, and whoever can hold out to the end will win. However, if the situation continues like this, it is impossible for the Dingping Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, to achieve a final victory.

Guan Yu brandished the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, roaring again and again, covered in blood, that appearance was really hideous and terrifying. The Sharp Knife Company and other officers and soldiers of the Dingping Army all fought bravely to be the first to sacrifice their lives.

However, the Yellow Turban Army did not show weakness, although their casualties were much higher than that of the Dingping Army, but their strength advantage was more obvious, and the Yellow Turban Army relied on the strength advantage to form a stalemate with the Dingping Army on the southern city wall.

Just when the two sides were fighting bloodily, a special unit of the Dingping Army came to reinforce them, they did not wear armor, did not hold weapons, only held a fire and thunder bag, they were the soldiers of the Hundred Beast Battalion who were urgently sent by the equation.

The soldiers on both sides who had already killed the red eyes didn't pay any attention to the warriors of the Hundred Beast Battalion coming from the city wall, they were still fighting endlessly.

A moment later, more than a dozen fire and thunder bags were thrown off the city wall, and then a dozen terrifying red flames rose up in the crowded Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army suddenly screamed and fell in large pieces, and at the same time, six of the eight ladders erected here were destroyed.

The Yellow Turban Army killed more than 500 people in this attack of the Dingping Army, and the astonishing power of the fire and thunder bag shocked all the people on both sides.

Zhang Mancheng couldn't help but be anxious and angry when he saw the scene of the bombing of the fire and thunder bag, only to hear him roar angrily: "Where did Zhang Yi get this 'monster'!" Let our soldiers suffer such heavy casualties! ”

At this time, Du Xiang, who had been frowning, spoke, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Mancheng and said, "Qu Shuai, this thunderous thing is made of gunpowder. ”

"Gunpowder!"

Zhang Mancheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a questioning face: "Strategist, I have also seen this gunpowder, although gunpowder is much more flammable than other things, it does not seem to have such amazing power!" ”

Shaking his head, Du Xiang explained: "Qu Shuai, the reason why I think it is gunpowder is completely inferred from the characteristics of the burning of that object, and the gunpowder is also that red flame when it burns, but whether it is or not, I am not sure!" ”

Although he knew the explosion principle of gunpowder, Du Xiang didn't know how to explain it to Zhang Mancheng, so he could only cover it up with vague statements.

Zhang Mancheng frowned and thought for a moment, and then said, "Let this matter go for the time being." ”

Then turn your attention back to the battlefield in full swing.

The attack of the fire and thunder bag played a crucial role, and the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army's ascent to the city was fiercely contained, most of the eight climbing ladders here were destroyed, and the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who gathered near the cloud ladder to prepare to ascend the city were hit hard by the fire and thunder bags, and the speed of the Yellow Turban Army to replenish the troops at the head of the city plummeted tenfold.

The Dingping Army took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Yellow Turban Army soon fell into decline due to the lack of timely support.

The Yellow Turbans under the city desperately tried to rush back to the city, but under the double blow of Dingping's arms and thunder packs and sassal wood and stones, they still failed to achieve their goal after paying a heavy price.

Guan Yu led the soldiers of the Dingping Army to sweep the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city like a storm. After a fierce fight, the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city was finally cleared.

At this point, the battle for this piece of the city is temporarily over, leaving only a tragic scene on the city, full of corpses of soldiers on both sides, blood stained this piece of city bricks into dark red, Guan Yu and the surviving Dingping army soldiers stood panting in this piece of blood.

Next, the Yellow Turban Army launched several more attacks, but the intensity of the attack was far less fierce than just now, Zhang Mancheng changed the attack force several times in a row, and it was still the same.

At this moment, Zhang Mancheng understood that the morale of the army had begun to fall, and if he continued to fight, there would be no result except for increasing casualties.

In desperation, Zhang Mancheng had to order the troops to be withdrawn.

As a piercing golden bell rang, both sides couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Yellow Turban Army, which was besieging the city, retreated like a tide in the setting sun.

The bloody battle of the day is finally over. In this day's battle, the Yellow Turban Army has invested 70,000 troops to attack the city, and the defenders of the Dingping Army have basically all been on the field, the Dingping Army has paid a heavy price of 7,000 casualties, and the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army have reached nearly 40,000, and the total number of casualties on both sides has reached an astonishing more than 50,000 in one day, which is absolutely unprecedented! This also shows how tragic this battle was!
