Chapter 180: Hold on to help
"Catapult, aim at the opponent's catapult to attack!" Lin Sen saw that the other party had once again sent a catapult to attack, so he immediately gave an order, and the catapults collectively adjusted their targets and launched an attack.
It was another artillery battle, a large stone was thrown at each other, shooting at both sides at a rapid pace, some boulders collided with each other in the air, and the stone slag that was broken into pieces fell down, Lin Sen occupied a favorable position, the loss of the ballista was not very large, but the rate of attack was reduced a lot, Bian Zhang was not so lucky, his catapult lost nearly half, and he would be reimbursed for it after a while, he and Han Sui were angry and kept scolding Lin Sen for being shameless, and it looked ridiculous!
Under the cover of artillery fire, the players finally have the opportunity to get close to the city wall, they are still very happy, close to the city wall is the first step to victory, they are numerous, they can set up more ladders, rush to the city wall in one go, the ignorant are fearless, maybe they don't know the cruelty of ancient warfare, and they don't know that the most difficult thing in siege warfare is to climb the city wall, they will know, and they will understand it immediately!
"Archer Battalion, cover shooting!" Lin Sen issued the first attack order to the Divine Arrow Battalion, the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion had been impatient to wait for a long time, they were fearless, since the first time they went to the battlefield, they have been playing an important role, and there has been no major damage, the lowest of them have more than 40 points of force, and the high ones have more than 50 points, and 30,000 arrows were shot in an instant, turning into a rain of arrows directly covering the forefront of the rebels.
"Ahh Yes! Yes! Oops! Oops! Oops......"
The rebels who rushed to the front immediately suffered a fatal blow, their equipment could not stop the attack of these arrows at all, the soldiers fell one by one like cutting wheat, and the most depressing thing was that many of these arrows were pierced through the body, and the spears shot by the ballista could shoot through several people in a row, they did not expect this archer to be so powerful.
From the beginning of the war to the present, the rebels have suffered more than 500,000 casualties, which shows the tragedy of the battle, and it is tragic enough that so many people have been killed and wounded without even touching the hair of the city wall, which shows how strong the firepower of Lin Sen's army is.
Bian Zhang was completely anxious, he has also experienced dozens of battles, and he has never been so frustrated, although he has not been able to capture Yixian, that is because Dong Zhuo's army is not much less than him, and the fighting quality of the soldiers under his command is much higher than him, but now facing Lin Sen, who has only 500,000 troops, the ratio of numbers is 1 to 40, and he lost 500,000 people not long after the start of the first battle, how can he accept it.
Crazy, completely crazy, he sent all the generals under his command to the front line, mobilized tens of millions of troops, did not want casualties, no matter how many siege equipment was lost, vowed to take Chencang City, but he and Han Sui walked far away, far away from the attack range of the ballista, and leisurely waited for the news of the victory of the army in the rear.
Just like that, one day, two days passed, and on the third day, Lin Sen began to worry, the poor were afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal were afraid of being stunned, and the stunned were afraid of dying, this sentence was not wrong at all, Lin Sen was facing this situation at this time, in the past two days, his army had annihilated millions of rebels, and his own damage was not much, and the siege equipment of the rebels was all destroyed, but his remaining garrison materials could only last for about a day, and he could use it for two days at most, and there was still no news about the reinforcements, if there were no reinforcements tomorrow, He'll have to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the damage will be unpredictable!
"Kill!"
In the morning, the rebels continued to attack the city, shouting and killing shook the earth, Lin Sen heard this sound more than once, and he was shocked in his heart, standing on the city wall, Yulin Shenwei and Thunder Daoist guarded on both sides, and the rate of catapult and ballista attacks slowed down a lot, the reason was the reduction of materials, and he had to save some use, this time he really didn't know how long he had to hold on to the city.
As always, defend the city, but today the rebels have more people attacking the city wall, and Lin Sen's army has to carry out hand-to-hand combat, fortunately, the elite degree is beyond imagination, and there are Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals, every time it is very easy to kill the enemy army, but this is not a way, in the long run, when the materials for defending the city are exhausted, it will not be far from the city break.
Lin Sen secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that the reinforcements would arrive sooner, otherwise this once-in-a-lifetime fighter plane would no longer exist, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui would be able to continue to wreak havoc in Sanfu, and even defeat the official army, take Chang'an, and enter Luoyang, and the Han court would be in danger at that time!
Bian Zhang and Han Sui retreated for two days, Zhang Wen saw that Dong Zhuo was still not ready to go out to pursue, he was anxious, to talk about it, whether it was an official position or a military position, he was much higher than Lin Sen, but in terms of strength, Lin Sen was stronger than him, Lin Sen really grasped the power of a state, and its backer was still the first Zhang Rang of the Ten Standing Servants, if Lin Sen was defeated because of no reinforcements, not only Lin Sen would have hatred for him, Zhang Rang would definitely take the opportunity to overthrow him, and then he would not know who was the meal on the plate.
He also knew that Dong Zhuo was deliberately delayed, he had already learned about Dong Zhuo's dominance, Sun Jian once looked down on Dong Zhuo's behavior, and suggested that he kill Dong Zhuo, but he was a civilian official, not so bold, and he also took into account Dong Zhuo's identity in Xiliang Haoqiang, so he didn't do it, but now it's different, the opportunity to defeat the rebels is close at hand, and he also wants to make this immortal feat, so he summoned Dong Zhuo, Yuan Peng and Zhou Shen to reprimand Dong Zhuo in person.
"Dong Gong, what are you waiting for, why don't you attack yet?"
Dong Zhuo still goes his own way, and he just doesn't want to send troops, and the image of a scoundrel is fully revealed.
Yuan Peng and Zhou Shen also had a lot of criticism of Dong Zhuo, they were very clear about the character of the Son of Heaven, if they couldn't win this battle, they would all be affected, and they also strongly persuaded Dong Zhuo to send troops quickly, and Zhou Shen was also willing to lead the army to cooperate with the battle.
Seeing this, Zhang Wen had to give a death order, and said: "Dong Gong, this general is now in the position of a chariot general, and orders you to immediately lead all the soldiers and horses out of the city to support Chen Cang, if you disobey the order and disrespect, Ben will remove you from all official positions and let you go back to your hometown in Longxi!" ”
Dong Zhuo is only a broken general, and his official position is far lower than that of Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen is the commander of the army, he gave a death order, Dong Zhuo must obey it, although he is very reluctant, but he also has to lead the army to the battle, otherwise he will be completely out of touch with the imperial court.
There was no way, Dong Zhuo could only lead the army to the battle, and at the same time there was also the general Zhou Shen, who led the army led by Dong Zhuo, and Zhou Shen followed, and marched towards Chen Cang.
It was originally a two-to-three-day journey, and the cavalry had to arrive in less than a day, but Dong Zhuo deliberately slowed down the march, stopped and stopped, and after three days, the army was still two hundred miles away from Chencang.
Sun Jian had already arrived at Chencang, observing the battlefield situation from a distance, he only had more than one million people, he was afraid that he would not be able to train the rebels, so he did not dare to fight, and waited for Dong Zhuo to arrive and attack together, but there has been no news of Dong Zhuo for two days, he was also anxious, Lin Sen had been holding on for two days, he saw in the distance that although Lin Sen defended very easily, but the consumption of materials to defend the city was very serious, I am afraid that he would not last long, this is Lin Sen's soldiers, if he came to defend the city, the city might be broken today.
Sun Jian secretly made up his mind that no matter whether Dong Zhuo came or not tomorrow, he must lead the army to the rescue, even if he couldn't defeat the rebels, he would transport the supplies into the Chen Cang and defend the city with Lin Sen.
Today is the fourth day of defending the city, and there is still no news of reinforcements, Lin Sen is very surprised, even if it is slow, it should arrive today, even if Dong Zhuo does not come, Sun Jian will rescue him when he hears the news, why is there no news at all?
Could it be that his first defeat will happen in Chen Cang? He is unwilling, unwilling to waste a great opportunity, the stones and spears are about to run out, the arrows are only enough for two days, the crisis is in front of Lin Sen, he needs to make a trade-off, whether to persevere, or give up!
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to hold on for another day, if the reinforcements didn't come today, he would have to find a way to break through and retreat, but this lot of grain and grass and city defense equipment were blind, in order not to leave it to the rebels, they could only be burned down, distressed, this is all piled up with money!
The offensive and defensive war is still going on, shouting and killing, screaming, endlessly, Lin Sen's army has long been accustomed to hearing it, this war is the most difficult one they fought, the difficulty is not that the enemy is strong, but that there are too many, they will annihilate countless enemy troops every day, but there will be a group of people and then let them kill, as if they can't kill anything, if it were other armies, they would have fallen into despair, but they didn't, because their lord, Lin Sen has been standing on the city wall, with a cold expression, calm and calm, There was no sign of panic at all, Ermao, Wang Geng, and Lao Gen were also commanding the defense everywhere, and they also calmed down!
