Cao Jun was constantly suppressed by Liu Jun. Liu Jun was very immoral and burned the stones red and then threw them, but Cao Jun was tormented.

The stones smashed on the ground and turned into a large pile of gravel, which was still very hot, and even some of them fell directly on the bodies of Cao Jun's soldiers.

Cao Jun stored some fire oil on the city wall, and some stones were smashed so that he could not die. The city wall of Shouchun exploded all at once.

This is something that Cao Jun did not expect.

"Quick! Take away all the oil! Put out the fire! Cao Jun soldiers chanted incessantly.

There were fires on all three walls, and Cao Cao calmly commanded the soldiers to extinguish the fire.

The crossbow machine was smashed by the trebuchet and completely lost its value. It's not that Cao Jun didn't work hard to defend, but that Liu Jun's trebuchet attacks were too dense.

Xu Huang and other generals were distressed to see it. These crossbow machines were the technology provided by Sun Ce's side to support Cao Cao, and Cao Cao spent a lot of effort to build them. Sun Ce wanted to protect himself, but if Cao Cao really couldn't stop it, Sun Ce didn't recover, Liu Jun went straight to Jiangdong, and Sun Ce would have to pay a lot of price even if he wanted to block it. So Sun Ce and Zhou Yu discussed for a while, and decided to give the weakened version of the strong crossbow machine technology to Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could rely on to fight against Liu Jun.

Why is it a weakened version? This is Sun Ce's own consideration. Jiangdong was able to compete with other naval forces on the Yangtze River with a minimum of troops, relying on powerful warships and powerful crossbows with a long range. This strong crossbow is a sharp weapon that Jiangdong has spent many years researching since Sun Jian's generation, and it is impossible to give it all to Cao Cao. Assuming that Cao Cao succeeded in resisting Liu's army, he would turn around and deal with Jiangdong in the future, and use Jiangdong's technology to suppress Jiangdong, and Sun Ce would be in trouble. Moreover, if Cao Cao fails, this powerful crossbow machine will not fall into Liu Jun's hands.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have a good abacus.

Cao Cao knew that Sun Ce would not be so generous, but if he could have a little more capital to fight against Liu Jun, Cao Cao would accept it. After experimenting, Cao Cao found that the strong crossbow machine given by Sun Ce was very terrifying, with a longer range than ordinary strong crossbows and greater strength. Cao Cao spent a lot of effort to build it, and kept it to prepare to guard Shouchun. Sure enough, Liu Jun's first attack on Shouchun was under the blow of a strong crossbow, and he suffered heavy casualties.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia and the others were a little happy, but Jia Xu reacted the fastest, and immediately used a trebuchet to restrain Cao Jun's strong crossbow. Moreover, the range and height of Liu Jun's trebuchet greatly exceeded Cao Cao's expectations, and now a considerable part of the strong crossbow machine has been smashed by Liu Jun's trebuchet.

Xu Huang and others were distressed as military generals, and Cao Cao was even more distressed, which cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Lord, Liu Jun has built a pontoon bridge!" Guo Jia discovered a bad thing.

Cao Cao looked down the city and really saw a large number of Liu Jun's shield soldiers walking in front, while behind were infantry carrying various branches and planks following closely behind.

If the pontoon bridge is built by Liu Jun, the defensive pressure on Cao Cao's side will be greater.

"The strong crossbow machine and the archers are aimed at the Liu army's infantry who are building a pontoon bridge and stop them!" Cao Cao quickly ordered.

Cao Jun's archers stiffened, picked up their bows and arrows, and began to wield their might. Many of Cao's shield soldiers were guarded by archers and crossbows.

Feathered arrows were constantly being shot on the city wall, which made Liu Jun's casualties slowly expand, but it did not stop Liu Jun's advance. Jia Xu had already given Liu Jun a death order, and when the trebuchet attacked the city wall, the infantry must take advantage of this best cover opportunity to build the pontoon bridge and prepare for the next battle of the city.

Huang Zhong and Jia Xu both knew that Cao Cao would definitely block the city gate, and Liu Jun had no need to storm the city gate, so he simply went directly to the city to fight.

Jia Xu was a little anxious, as the most important ammunition for trebuchets, the stones were slowly running out. There weren't many stones around Shouchun's side that could be used, the red-hot stones just now had been used up, and the remaining stones couldn't sustain the fierce attack just now.

The number of stones decreased, and the trebuchet's attack was much weaker, not as dense as before, Cao Cao keenly noticed this, and ordered loudly: "Liu Jun's trebuchet has no stones, and they are all guarded to death!" ”

There was a deafening shout from Cao Jun's side.

Jia Xu and Huang Zhong both heard it.

Huang Zhong said hatefully, "Can we still find stones here?" ”

A partial general replied with a bitter face: "Back to the general's words, our soldiers have long been carrying stones, and they have moved all the stones that can be used around them. If you want to have it again, you may have to walk five miles. ”

Huang Zhong is helpless, there are so many stones around this Shouchun that can be used to attack the city wall, and the rest are thousands of catties of boulders, let alone moving over, and the trebuchet can't throw it. Carrying stones five miles away, Huang Zhong felt that it was unrealistic.

In fact, what Huang Zhong didn't know was that there were a lot of mountains and rocks on Shouchun's side. However, during the Yuan Shu period, in order to expand Shouchun, Yuan Shu's subordinates used most of the stones on the spot. When Cao Cao used Shouchun as his base camp, he also used local materials to heighten and strengthen the walls of Shouchun City. After the actions of these two guys, Shouchun City has expanded a lot, and the surrounding area has also become a flat land, which is suitable for planting.

Without stones, then Liu Jun's trebuchet is like a gun without bullets, which can't scare Cao Jun at all.

Not only is there a shortage of stones on Huang Zhong's side, but Lu Bu and Ma Chao are the same.

Ma Chao is a little better, he is in the north, there are relatively more stones, and it can still be obtained with a little effort.

Li Tong, the guard of the Cao army at the north gate, was even more beaten and couldn't raise his head.

On Lu Bu's side, he forgot about the number of stones, and was commanding the trebuchet to attack the east gate of Shouchun.

"Come, see that the strong crossbow machine is not there, and smash it for Ben General! There are also a lot of Cao soldiers there, how can you let go of such a good opportunity, don't be stingy with the general, smash it hard! Looking at Cao Cao's passive beating, Ben Jiang felt indescribably comfortable in his heart! Lu Bu saw the power of the trebuchet and got a little carried away.

But the trebuchet on Lu Bu's side no longer has stones, and there is no way to do what Lu Bu instructs.

Seeing that the attack had stopped, Lu Bu was greatly dissatisfied, turned around and scolded, "Didn't you hear the words of this general? Actually gave Ben back to stop the attack? ”

Hou Cheng said weakly beside Lu Bu: "General, our stones are just gone. ”

"None? What are you eating? Don't you know that this trebuchet has no stones and firewood? Hou Cheng, how many years have you been in the army, and you don't understand this common sense? Lu Bu angrily pointed at Hou Cheng and scolded, and his saliva was about to spray on Hou Cheng's face.

Hou Cheng wanted to say a word: Boss, just now you were constantly directing and shooting, of course you used too many stones, and now you have to blame others, how do you want others to live.

Hou Cheng didn't dare to say this, otherwise Lu Bu would be angry and give him a halberd, and Hou Cheng would be finished. Who doesn't know that Lu Bu is among Liu Jun, and no one is afraid except Liu Yu and Huang Zhong.

Lu Bu scolded a few words and then lost his anger. He had just woken up to the fact that he had run out of stones. But Lu Bu will not admit it at this time. He can admit his mistakes in front of Liu Yu, Huang Zhong, and Diao Chan, and he will definitely not admit his mistakes in front of soldiers and subordinates. Lu Bu is a person who wants face.

"No trebuchet, forget it. The archers take cover, and the infantry step forward to build a pontoon bridge! Lu Bu ordered.

Lu Bu seems to have missed the opportunity a little, and now to build a pontoon bridge, this casualty will be a bit big. But Lu Bu had no other choice.

Liu Jun at the east gate approached the moat with a plank.

Xu Huang immediately ordered the archers and crossbows to shoot wildly to eliminate Liu Jun's intentions.

Lü Bu personally led the archers to cover the infantry of the Liu army, and even took out his bow and arrows himself to prepare to shoot Xu Huang on the city wall.

Xu Huang is very smart, he understood Lu Bu's horror a long time ago, in order to prevent being shot by Lu Bu, he hid from a distance and commanded, and at the same time there was a team of pro-soldiers in front of him.

This made Lu Bu have no idea where to start.

The situation on the east side of the gate is in a state of anxiety.

The trebuchet at the south gate was devoid of stones. The trebuchet could not continue to attack Shouchun City. Cao Jun can breathe a sigh of relief and don't have to worry about being stoned to death. There were a lot of stones on the city wall, and some of Cao Jun were stoned to death.

Cao Cao did not ask the soldiers to remove the stones, because they were kept for defending the city. Similarly, Cao Cao's side is nervously preparing for the next round of the big battle.

Liu Jun took advantage of the cover of the trebuchet attack, and after paying a lot of sacrifices, finally built several pontoon bridges.

Huang Zhong watched so many soldiers being shot to death by Cao Jun, and his heart was already numb, and he didn't regret the casualties of the soldiers.

"The siege troops are on this general! Beat the drums! "Now is not the time for Huang Zhongxin to be soft-hearted.

"Kill!"

All the way! With a murderous look on one's face!

Liu's infantry carried the ladder and stepped on the pontoon bridge built by their comrades who sacrificed their lives and went straight to Shouchun.

"Archers shoot them!" Guo Jia commanded. "Pour oil on me, and shoot rockets at me."

Cao Jun's archers came out, and the bows and arrows in their hands were unceremoniously shot towards Liu Jun. At the same time, a large amount of fire oil was poured out directly, sprinkled directly on the ground under the city, and several rockets immediately ignited the ground, igniting a fire.

Guo Jia put a lot of thought into defending the city, and he prepared a large amount of fire oil in Shouchun City, and used the fire to isolate the opportunity for Liu Jun's army to approach the city wall. People are afraid of fire, the ladder to the city is also made of wood, there is a fire ignited by fire oil on the ground, Liu Jun can not lean the ladder against the edge of the city wall at all, even if he insists on leaning, it will be burned by the fire in the end, and Liu Jun's battle to the city cannot be carried out at all.

The fire blocked Liu's approach to the city walls. Liu Jun under the city was dumbfounded on the spot, it was difficult for them to get close.

The snare drums in the rear were still beating, which meant that Liu Jun could not stop attacking. Without the order to retreat, the soldiers could not stop, otherwise the retreat would be dealt with by military law, Liu Jun gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the city wall one by one carrying the ladder. However, after all, they have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they will not be stupid to send them to death, but let the shield soldiers throw their shields on the ground to temporarily block the fire, and the soldiers carrying the ladder step on the shields close to the city wall.

Not only did the Liu soldiers in front have brains, but the Liu soldiers who had not yet stepped on the pontoon bridge behind saw a fire ignited, and quickly raised sand on the ground one by one.

A fire started by oil cannot be extinguished with water, but sand is the best weapon to restrain this fire. After so many years of fighting, Liu Jun's soldiers have this common sense.

"Hurry up and give way to the brothers behind you!" The soldiers without sand and soil constantly greeted their comrades.

The sand was sprinkled on the fire by Liu Jun, and it did extinguish a lot of the fire.

Guo Jia and Cao Cao's eyes widened, there would be such an operation. Did the soldiers of Liu Jun react too quickly, and immediately thought of a solution without the command of the general.

"Fire oil continues! Archers don't stop! Guo Jia did not hesitate to increase his efforts.

Cao soldiers did the same. But Liu Jun's ladder had already leaned against the edge of the city wall, and one by one Liu Jun's soldiers began to run quickly along the ladder to the city wall.

"Push the ladder out of the way! Zhongkang! You don't have to worry about being alone, come forward and kill the enemy! "Cao Cao arranged Xu Chu out.

Xu Chu took Cao Cao's order as the top, and began to enter the queue of killing the enemy with a loud shout.

Cao Jun kept pushing the ladder out.

The soldiers of Liu Jun under the city wall held on to prevent the ladder from falling. It's a pity that they couldn't hold out for long, and the hot oil was splashed down by Cao Jun again, as well as a steady stream of feather arrows. Liu's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Cao Jun's strong crossbow was specifically aimed at the follow-up troops of Liu Jun.

In the end, all the ladders of Liu Jun's cloud at the south gate were destroyed by Cao's army, and the first wave of Liu Jun's attack on the city was disintegrated.

Huang Zhong immediately ordered the second wave of Dengcheng troops to step forward, not to cut off the strength of the attack, and to take Shouchun City.

Not long after the first wave of Liu Jun's attack was disintegrated, the second wave of attacks arrived.

"Knock the wood! The stones are all smashed down! "Cao Cao constantly commanded the battle.

Cao Jun lifted the wood and stones and smashed them into the Liu soldiers. Many Liu soldiers were smashed on their heads and bled out, and even died on the spot.

Siege warfare is so tragic.

Jia Xu's eyes kept staring at the battlefield, feeling that this siege battle was slowly turning into a fueling battle. If it becomes like that, it will definitely be very detrimental to Liu Jun, and Cao Cao wants such a result.

"It is estimated that Kong Ming and Zhongda's plan will be realized. Although I don't know what their plan is, I always feel that this Shouchun City will be broken soon! Jia Xu had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"And Your Majesty! I guess he's going to do it too! Jia Xu asserted.

Jia Xu said to Huang Zhong solemnly: "General, please increase the intensity of the attack!" ”

Huang Zhong listened to Jia Xu's opinion and ordered: "The siege troops continue to go up!" Archers don't stop attacking! ”

Liu Jun intensified, and Cao Cao also put a part of the reserve troops on the city wall to strengthen the defense.
