Chapter 498: Precarious!

Thank you for the two monthly tickets cast by the children of the boat who drifted in the wind!

On the other hand, thousands of archers of the Wu army also relied on the cover of sword and shield men to fire arrows at the head of the city about thirty paces away from the city wall, and whenever the rain of arrows swept over the city, there would always be soldiers in the Wei army who were shot to the ground, and under the influence of this, the Wei soldiers on the head of the city could not deal a blow to the besieging Wu army.

The Wei army desperately threw stones and trees under the city, and a pot of boiling oil was dumped, and Wu soldiers continued to fall down from the ladder.

Arrows from both sides staggered in mid-air, whistling like a raging swarm of locusts, and the Wu assault troops climbed upwards against the stones, logs, and boiling oil above their heads, and kept approaching the city at a considerable cost.

Finally, a Wu soldier landed on the city, and then more and more Wu soldiers landed on the city, and the city immediately began to fight, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

The Wu army continued to hit the city wall like a surging wave, Zhang Liao and Cao Pi had already come to the city, constantly screaming to cheer up the soldiers, and the follow-up troops continued to pour into the city, all the soldiers were already red-eyed at the moment, and they were doing their best to block the offensive of the Wu army!

The city was crowded with people, the sword light was like snow, the blood was like a wolf, and the shouts of killing, screams and the sound of weapons were intertwined, which was earth-shattering.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the city gate, and in a frightening cloud of smoke and rubble, the strong city gate was reduced to debris, and the soldiers of both sides who were fighting on the city gate only felt a sudden shaking under their feet, and hundreds of soldiers from both sides fell to the ground when they boarded.

Sun Quan, who was watching the battle under the banner of the Chinese commander, saw that the city gate had finally been destroyed. I couldn't help but flick the horsewhip and shout, "Okay!! ”

"Second son!" Seeing that the gate of Shouchun City was breached, the generals of the Wu army hugged their fists together and asked Sun Quan for his life, with a fierce battle intent in their eyes.

Sun Quan glanced at the generals who asked for their lives. After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "General Wen, you lead three thousand light cavalry to break into the city immediately, and General Lu, you lead the Chinese army brigade into the city later!" ”

"Order!" The two generals who received Sun Quan's orders immediately responded excitedly in the envious and jealous eyes of the other generals.

"Remember! After entering the city, the most important thing is Zhang Liao and Cao Pi, if you can capture them alive, you will capture them alive, if you can't, bring their heads to me! ”

"Yes!". General Na Wen smiled proudly: "Please rest assured, the second prince will definitely tie them up and people under the second son's seat!" As the words fell, General Wen and General Lu turned their horses' heads together. With a loud bang, he ran down, but at this moment, the city gate suddenly burst into flames.

"Second son. You see! A lieutenant Wu pointed in the direction of the city gate and shouted at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan looked over. I couldn't help but be shocked, only to see that the entire city gate cave was surrounded by flames! The dozens of soldiers of the Wu Army who had just broken through the city gate were already in the sea of fire at this moment, struggling in the flames.

"What's going on? Why did the gates suddenly burst into flames! Sun Quan couldn't help frowning and exclaimed.

Pang Tong on the side pondered: "I don't see the sound of the fire oil tank breaking through the air, that name must be Zhang Liao or Cao Pi, they ordered someone to lay fire oil at the city gate in advance, and when he saw that our army broke through the city gate, he ordered someone to set fire!" ”

Pang Tong's speculation was correct, and the real situation was exactly as he expected. After two months of attack by the Wu army, the city gate has long been dilapidated. Whether it is Zhang Liao or Cao Pi, they have all thought about the day when the city gate will be breached, and therefore, as early as a month ago, Zhang Liao has already prepared for the response after the city gate is breached!

Of course, after Cao Pi arrived, it was even simpler, directly sprinkled fire oil near the city gate, as long as the city gate was breached, then directly set fire to the city gate, so that the Wu army had no way to further expand the results of the battle!

Before Pang Tong's words fell, General Wen and General Lu rode back, and General Wen hugged his fists and said, "Second son, there was a fire at the city gate!" General Wen, who said this, had a look of chagrin and unwillingness on his face.

Sun Quan frowned and nodded: "The two generals don't need to be annoyed, this just shows that the Wei army's skills are exhausted, the two generals temporarily stopped the assault and led the Chinese army to stand by!" Send the order to go down and order the soldiers to rush into the fire with sand and soil to extinguish the fire! As soon as the fire is extinguished, you two will march into the city with a large army!" ”

"Yes!" The two generals hugged their fists and promised, and then rode their horses down.

Sun Quan looked at the city where the battle was in full swing, his brows furrowed, and his lips pursed tightly: "Zhang Liao and Cao Pi, it seems that the general really underestimated them before, and there are so many tricks!" ”

After the words fell, Sun Quan turned his head and asked Pang Tong and asked, "Military Division, in today's situation, it should be possible for the partial divisions on the left and right sides to attack the city, right?" ”

Pang Tong looked at the head of the city - after a moment, he nodded to Sun Quan and said, "As the second prince said, now is the time!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan immediately yelled at the herald: "Immediately order the flag to pass the order, and the left and right divisions will attack immediately!" Give Ben a hard beating! ”

Immediately, the Wu army's order flag waved in the air, dancing, the left and right divisions who had been waiting impatiently immediately attacked, climbed to the top of the city in one breath, and the Wei army melee, the Wu army today seems to be like a battle against the water, its offensive is extremely fierce, the Wei army, which is not dominant, fell into a disadvantage in a short period of time, and the east and west sides of the city seem to be in danger suddenly.

"General, Second Prince, the Wu army attacked at the same time in Dongcheng and Xicheng!!" A scout panted and ran in front of Zhang Liao and Cao Pi to reply.

Zhang Liao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked urgently, "What's the situation now?" ”

"The offensive of the Wu army is extremely fierce, and the two generals Zhang Chang and Li Da are leading the way to resist! Now that the Wu army has captured the city, our army is fighting a bloody battle with it! ”

Zhang Liao frowned, and said angrily: "Zhang Chang and Li Da each have 20,000 foot soldiers in their hands!" How could the Wu army be allowed to attack the city so quickly? ”

A trace of doubt and unwillingness flashed in the scout's eyes, and he replied: "General, today's Wu army is too fierce and not at all the same as usual!" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the Wu army on the city wall in front of him, who was desperately resisting his own troops, and couldn't help but feel doubts and unwillingness in his heart!

"General, we must immediately send reinforcements to the east and west walls! As long as there are reinforcements, we will definitely be able to kill the Wu army! The scout snapped.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, pointed to the scout and said, "Reinforcements, the general also wants to have them, but where are the reinforcements now?" ”

"General, it's not good, it seems that the Wu army wants to send someone to extinguish the fire at the city gate!" A lieutenant hurriedly came to Zhang Liao and said. (To be continued......)
