Before the evening of the same day, the main force of the Wei army's 100,000 troops approached the city of Niufu, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city listened to the rumbling footsteps in their ears, and couldn't help but feel a kind of breathless pressure.

That night, the soldiers and civilians of the city spent a sleepless night in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Early the next morning, the Wei army launched a strong attack on Niufu City, and the battle was quite fierce! The Wei army attacked the city several times, but was forced down by the Wu army several times. arrive

By the end of the day's fighting, the walls were filled with the corpses of soldiers from both sides, and the smell of gunsmoke and blood filled the air with suffocation.

"What are the losses of our army?" Huang Gai, who was mottled with blood all over his body, looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of him and asked.

The adjutant general replied with a solemn expression: "The offensive of the Wei army is fierce and abnormal! Our army lost more than 10,000 people, and the losses of the Wei army should not be less than ours! ”

Huang Gai frowned, and said in a deep voice with some anger and disbelief: "Our army is defending, the Wei army is attacking, and the battle loss ratio of the two sides is actually comparable!?" ”

The adjutant general sighed and said meaningfully: "General, it is not the ordinary army that is attacking us, but the elite army of the Wei army!" ”

At the same time, Ma Chao was giving orders to his generals in the big tent, "Did you all hear clearly?" ”

"Got it!" The ministers will clench their fists and promise.

In the following two days, the Wei army's offensive was high and high, although it caused considerable casualties to the Huang Gai department defending Niu Mi, but it was never able to achieve a breakthrough, although so, it was only a matter of time before Niu Mi was breached.

On the evening of the third day. A weapon was slowly pushed into the Wei army camp outside the city, which was the new weapon of the Wei army. Ballista!

Early the next morning, to the roaring drums of war. The Wei army once again lined up outside the city of Niufu, and although the soldiers of Huang Gai's department looked very tired, the soldiers were still very high-spirited, and they were waiting for the battle.

Immediately, the soldiers of Huang Gai's department couldn't help but be stunned, only to see more than a dozen objects they had never seen before appear in front of the Wei army's military array.

These were the ballistas that had only arrived last night, and compared to the same smaller ballistas used on the ships, this type of ballista was much larger, and it was free from the limitations of the ship's window size. Each of these land-based ballistas can hold up to five giant fire ballistae or shotgun arrows.

Although Huang Gai's department had already suffered its loss, the ballistas at that time were all installed in the cabin, and the soldiers of Huang Gai's department couldn't see it clearly, so they didn't know that the ballista in front of them was the weapon they feared yesterday.

"What's that?" Huang Gai asked in surprise, and the generals beside him all shook their heads blankly.

Huang Gai instinctively had a bad premonition, and immediately ordered the officers and men of the whole army to strengthen their vigilance.

Huang Gai saw that more than a dozen large crossbow-like objects were lined up in front of the Wei army's formation, while nearly 10,000 Wusun cavalry on both sides were slowly moving forward. It looks a little restless.

Huang Gai frowned, he had a bad premonition, but he couldn't grasp it all.

At this moment, Huang Gai saw the soldiers next to the dozen or so "big bows and crossbows" take out huge crossbow arrows from the side. It was placed on top of the "Great Bow Crossbow".

Huang Gai didn't know why, and looked at it in a daze, suddenly. The familiar loud bang rang out, and at the same time, the mournful voice like a ghost cry that Huang Gai had just heard yesterday sounded.

Huang Gai's complexion changed. Exclaimed: "It's a fire dragon!" ”

Before the words fell, I felt a strong wind blowing. He heard only a sharp whistling sound, followed by a loud bang, and a mess around him, a dozen soldiers were skewered to the ground, and flames were burning above the city gate.

Huang Gai came back to his senses, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered the captain of the city gate to strengthen the defense at the city gate, and ordered all the reserves to be in the city and prepare for battle.

As soon as this order was conveyed, the roar of the heavy ballista rang out again, and the soldiers on the city wall reflexively fell to the ground, but this time the target of the ballista was not the city gate, but

A burst of sawdust rose into the sky, and more than a dozen large holes were pierced on the originally very strong city gate, and the gas flames on it kept burning the city gate, not to mention, the Wu soldiers behind the city gate were even more killed and injured.

Immediately, the war drums of the Wei army rang out, and the 20,000 Wusun cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, shouted violently and rushed towards the city gate.

Huang Gai frowned, threw the defense on the city wall to the deputy general, and immediately led his own troops down the city wall.

The Wusun cavalry rushed open the gate of the city, which had lost its defense, and then swarmed in, killing back nearly a thousand Wu troops who had not yet recovered from their senses, but then met Huang Gai who came in a hurry.

The two sides fought in the narrow streets and alleys, and Huang Gai's side was more advantageous to fight in this kind of place because it was infantry, and Huang Gai's Xiaoyong inspired the soldiers under his command, so for a time he formed a tug-of-war with the Wuhuan cavalry in the streets.

At the same time, the infantry of the Fourth Legion of the Wei Army was not idle, some of them pushed the ladders and flew to the city wall under the cover of the crossbowmen, and the other part rushed towards the city gate.

Ladders and flying hugs are attached to the city wall one after another. In the process, some ladders and flying hugs were hit by boulders fired by the opponent's trebuchet, and they broke off and fell down.

The Wei soldiers shouted, and flew down the ladder to the city wall, at this time, in addition to the stones and trees pouring down like raindrops, there were also jars filled with fish oil were thrown down, as the flames rose, there were constantly Wei soldiers were engulfed in flames, and suddenly, a flying arm was also ignited, but these did not stop the Wei army's attack momentum.

The Wei army rushed to the city wall and engaged in a fierce and bloody battle with the Wu army. In the beginning, the Wei army at the top of the city was far outnumbered by the enemy defenders, but their fearless sacrifice of their lives caused the bridgehead on the city walls to be slowly expanded.

Wu Jun also burst out of the strongest will to fight at this time, their eyes were blood-red, they howled and fought back desperately, only to see blood splashing at the scene, the soldiers on both sides were still fighting bloodily under the condition of serious injuries, and the soldiers who died in the bloody battle fell into the muddy blood one after another.

The Wuhuan cavalry that attacked the city gate finally gradually took control of the initiative on the battlefield after being supported by the infantry of the Fourth Legion, but it was still impossible for them to break through the resistance of Huang Gai's troops in a short time.

Although the Wei army was unable to break through at the city gate for the time being, the Wei army that climbed the city wall from inside the city and the Wei army that attacked the city wall head-on formed a flanking attack on the Wu army on the city wall, and the Wu army, which was already very difficult to resist, was even more precarious.

Finally, the Wu army on the city wall could not resist the Wei army, which was becoming more and more courageous, and completely collapsed. (To be continued.) )
