"Archer Preparation"

On the castle tower, a small colonel spoke.

In an instant, the archers on the city tower quickly took place, standing on the female wall of the city tower, and the bows and arrows were aimed at the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city.

"Shoot the Arrow"

At the sound of an order, arrows rained down, and dense bows and arrows continued to shoot out.

"Catapult, ready"

The soldiers under Yuan Ye's command had already installed the catapults, and there were thirty catapults installed on them. Thirty fifty-pound stones were placed on the catapult and were ready.

Projection

Yuan Ye gave the order, and he heard the rumbling sound of catapults.

"Boom"

Large stones flew out from the castle tower.

Long-range attacking catapults and bows and arrows, constantly attacking.

The bows and arrows were dense, and the catapults were powerful, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were close to the city tower of Ai County were quickly blocked. However, this still could not stop the advance of the Jiangdong soldiers, and one by one the Jiangdong soldiers roared and rushed towards the city tower. When the Jiangdong soldiers set up the ladder and the cloud car, and even used various weapons to attack the city, there were sassholes on the city tower and smashed down and hit the attacking soldiers.

"Wow"

After boiling, the oil-mixed water was poured down and sprinkled on the Jiangdong soldiers.

When it was poured on his body, he immediately blistered.

Because of the adulteration of oil, the burns were even more serious, and the Jiangdong soldiers who were drenched screamed miserably, constantly struggling and jumping. There were countless injured Jiangdong soldiers, and more and more Jiangdong soldiers began to climb the ladder.

"Kill, kill, take back Ai County. ”

Lu Meng roared, and the people were on the ladder, constantly climbing up.

He carried a large knife on his back, and it was already at the last moment to climb the city wall. The moment he rushed to the city wall, a spear stabbed in the air, and Lu Meng dragged the ladder with one hand, and his body jerked to one side, avoiding the blow. Pedaling on the ladder of the ladder, he exerted his strength, borrowed his strength, climbed the female wall with both hands, and a harrier turned over and entered the city wall.

"Hahaha, Lao Tzu is here, kill"

Lu Meng took off the big knife on his back and slashed hard, slashing all the Jingzhou soldiers next to the cloud ladder.

The Jiangdong soldiers who rushed up immediately became more and more.

Huang Hu carried a drum urn and a golden hammer, running back and forth to kill. Wherever there are many Jiangdong soldiers, he will be there. When Huang Hu saw that a large number of Jiangdong soldiers had gathered in the direction where Lu Meng was, he rushed over with a drum urn and a golden hammer.

"Cloak hammer, kill"

The yellow tiger opened his bow left and right, and two drum urns and golden hammers swept across the city wall.

"Bang Bang"

The sound of hammering kept ringing.

All the Jiangdong soldiers who were swept by the golden hammer of the drum urn were either killed or wounded, and they had no strength to fight.

Lu Meng's eyes were cold, and he rushed towards Huang Hu with his knife, and the blade slashed down.

"Bell"

The weapon collided, and the sparks flew everywhere.

Lu Meng's face changed greatly, and when he stabbed down, the other party's drum urn and golden hammer were not affected at all, and the hand he held the big knife was trembling, and the tiger's mouth was in pain.

As soon as they fought, Lu Meng knew that he was not the opponent of the other party.

Without any hesitation, Lu Meng turned around and withdrew.

Huang Hu didn't take Lu Meng to heart, he kept hammering and killing the Jiangdong soldiers around him, like a big stone crushing, and all the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed up were killed one after another. In the end, Lu Meng was chased and beaten, and he had to retreat from the city tower to avoid the pursuit of the Yellow Tiger.

Compared with Lu Meng, Ling Tong rushed to the city tower and was fiercely attacked and killed by Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan's swordsmanship is incomparable, killing people without blinking. Ling Tong and Deng Zhan walked less than ten moves, and they were hit by three swords, but fortunately, they were all shoulders and back, and the injuries were not serious.

There is no doubt that Ling Tong's attack failed, and he eventually retreated from the tower.

Wave after wave of Jiangdong soldiers rushed to the top of the city, but they were finally suppressed again, unable to completely gain a foothold on the city tower.

Under the city tower, the city gate was constantly slammed.

The defending soldiers are also constantly pouring boiling water and sasswood to prevent the other side from attacking the city. The two armies used Ai County as the location of the battle and started a tug-of-war.

Liu Xiu's expression was calm, without a trace of panic.

In this battle, he defended, Zhou Yu attacked, and the 10,000 troops under his command were not afraid of Zhou Yu's attack.

Zhou Yu sat outside the city, watching the Jiangdong soldiers rush to the city in waves, but they were driven down again, and his heart was nervous. Breaking through Ai County, Liu Xiu will undoubtedly be defeated, he has now surrounded Ai County, and Liu Xiu will not be able to escape.

At the end of the day, at nightfall, Zhou Yu finally called in to withdraw his troops.

After dark, it is not conducive to the siege.

The Jiangdong soldiers withdrew like a tide, and the Jingzhou soldiers stationed on the city tower also breathed a sigh of relief.

On the tower of the city, the soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and all the Jiangdong soldiers who were killed were built up and burned on fire. The dead Jingzhou soldiers need to be registered one by one.

In the room, Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu, Deng Ai and others sat down.

Compared with Deng Zhan and Huang Hu, Deng Ai's martial arts are not strong, but he participated in this battle and killed I don't know how many people. This was the first time Deng Ai had personally experienced a tragic battle, and after experiencing a fight, he quickly adapted to it, and there was a trace of sharpness in his eyes.

Liu Xiu asked: "Deng Zhan, what are the losses of the 1,500 soldiers stationed there?"

Deng Zhan replied: "My lord, there are 200 soldiers killed in the battle, and more than 160 people who are seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness. The rest of the soldiers were able to fight again. ”

Huang Hu smiled and said, "Third brother, in today's battle, the losses of Zhou Yu's army are definitely greater than ours. ”

Liu Xiu said: "We occupy the advantage of the city, in this case, our losses are greater, then there is no need to fight this battle." ”

Huang Hu touched his head innocently, and then stopped talking.

Liu Xiu instructed: "Change the guard early tomorrow morning and send another group of soldiers to garrison." ”

In the defense of Ai County, Liu Xiu was divided into six armies, each with 1,500 people, and a total of 9,000 soldiers participated in the battle. Each army was responsible for defending for one day, taking turns.

In this way, it is possible to ensure not only the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also the ability of the soldiers to rest.

Deng Zhan said: "Don't worry, the humble post has been arranged. ”

Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Be careful tonight, you must strengthen your defense to avoid Zhou Yu's attack." Now is a critical time, and Zhou Yu cannot be given a chance. ”

Deng Zhan nodded, discussed other government affairs with Liu Xiu, and then went down to patrol.

Outside the city, the Jiangdong military camp.

Zhou Yu Ling commanded Lu Meng and the rest of the generals all sat in the camp tent. After a day's attack, Ling Tong and Lu Meng and other generals were very tired, and Lu Meng and Ling Tong were both slightly injured.

Zhou Yu looked at Ling Tong and said, "Gongji, how is the injury on your body?"

Ling Tong smiled, with an expression of indifference, and said with a fist clenched: "Don't worry, the last general's body is fine." It's just a few swords, it's not a big deal, it's going to be fine soon. ”

Zhou Yu bowed slightly, looked at Lu Meng again, and said, "What about Ziming?"

Lu Meng said: "Thank you for your concern, the last general will have no impact." When I was fighting on the tower today, the last general found that there was a tiger general under Liu Xiu's command, and I joined forces with Gongji, I'm afraid they are not his opponents. ”

Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "Who?"

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know the name, but the weapon he uses is a two-handled drum urn golden hammer." The last general slashed at his golden hammer, and he was not affected in the slightest, but the last general was numb. His power is staggering. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu's face was also quite solemn.

Although Lu Meng's martial arts are not top-notch, they are also quite powerful. To make Lu Meng like this, the other party is not simple.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard that there is this person under Liu Xiu's command" Speaking of this, Zhou Yu said: "It seems that our grasp of Liu Xiu's intelligence is not accurate, and it needs to be strengthened." ”

Lu Meng said: "The last general estimates that there are at least hundreds of people who are hammered by him. ”

Referring to the lost soldiers, Zhou Yu sighed lightly and said in a solemn tone: "In today's battle, we killed more than 600 soldiers. The wounded soldiers are even more numerous, and the loss of combat effectiveness is at least nearly a thousand. ”

The huge loss made Zhou Yu's eyes solemn.

Lu Meng thought for a moment and said, "Grand Governor, there are great difficulties in storming Ai County. Storming the city is the next strategy. In this case, the siege of the city and the fight of Liu Xiu's face were too great. The Admiral believes that a change of tactics is necessary. ”

After a pause, Lu Meng said again: "After rushing up to the city tower, I also found a problem. There were not too many garrisons on the city tower, which meant that Liu Xiu only sent some soldiers to garrison them. Tomorrow, another soldier will definitely be stationed. In this way, what we encounter every day in the siege of the city are the elites who are recuperating. Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult to capture Ai County. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, his eyes also showed a solemn look, and he muttered: "In this way, we must adjust our strategy, and we can no longer adopt the method of strong attack." ”
