The soldiers on both sides, who had already completely killed the red eyes, did not pay any attention to the fire oil grenadiers coming from the city walls, they were still fighting endlessly.

A moment later, more than a dozen oil canisters were thrown off the city wall, and then more than a dozen terrifying red and yellow flames rose up in the crowded Wu army, and the Wu army suddenly screamed and fell in large pieces, and at the same time, six of the eight ladders erected here were destroyed.

More than 200 people died in this attack of the Wei army, and the amazing power of the fire oil canister thrown at close range shocked all the people on both sides, and even he didn't expect that his unintentional thoughts could cause such great damage!

However, if Cao Cao, who was far away in Nanyang, saw this scene, he would definitely be disappointed and said; "If it is an explosive in later generations, even if it is the most primitive artillery, a close-range scatter bomb may result in the lives of hundreds of people!"

Sun Quan in the rear couldn't help but be anxious and angry when he saw the scene of the fire oil tank exploding at close range, the fire oil tank is another fire oil tank, last time because of it, this time it's because of it!

I only heard Sun Quan roar angrily: "Wei State, where did Cao Cao get this 'monster' from!" Let our soldiers suffer such heavy casualties! ”

Sun Quan is not angry, no, the last time it was because of this, the good form that led to the opening of the Wu army did not last long, this time it was because of this, the Wei army has such a cheating thing, and this battle is still like this!

At this time, Pang Tong, who had been silent, spoke, and saw him clasp his fists at Sun Quan and said: "Second son, don't be upset, the manufacturing method of this fire-burning thing should be quite easy, as long as you put fire oil in the wine jar." Put a little fire on its periphery, and it should be able to be made. ”

Pang Tong's tone was uncertain. After all, this kind of thing, he had only seen one of them from Zhuge Liang, fire oil. As for whether it can be made, he can't guarantee it.

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a questioning face: "Military Master, can this really be made?" ”

It is normal for Sun Quan to have this doubt, after all, in his opinion, how could such a "divine object" be made so easily as Pang Tong said.

Pang Tong hurriedly explained: "Second son, the reason why I think that can be made like that. It was completely inferred from the characteristics of the burning object of the Wei army, but whether it could succeed or not, the subordinates were not sure! ”

Sun Quan frowned and thought for a moment, and then said, "Forget it, let this matter go for the time being." Then he returned his attention to the battlefield in full swing.

The attack of the fire oil canisters of the fire oil grenadiers played a crucial role, and the momentum of the Wu army's ascent to the city was fiercely contained, most of the eight climbing ladders here were destroyed, and the soldiers of the Wu army who gathered near the cloud ladders to prepare to ascend the city were hit hard by the fire oil canisters. The rate at which the Wu army replenished the forces at the head of the city plummeted tenfold.

The Wei soldiers on the city wall took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Wu army was soon in decline under the strong attack of the Wei soldiers because they could not get timely support.

The Wu army under the city desperately wanted to rush back to the city. However, under the double blow of the Wei army's oil tanks and sassal wood and stones, they still did not achieve their goal after paying a heavy price.

Zhang Liao led the Wei soldiers to sweep the Wu soldiers at the head of the city like a violent wind, after a fierce fight. The Wu army at the head of the city was finally cleared.

At this point, the battle for the head of this city is temporarily over. The city was left with only a miserable scene, littered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides. The blood stained this piece of city bricks a dark red, and Zhang Liao and the surviving Wei generals stood panting in this piece of blood.

Next, Wu Jun moved a few more attacks, but the intensity of the attack was far less fierce than just now, and Sun Quan changed the attack force several times, and it was still the same.

At this moment, Sun Quan understood that the morale of the army had begun to fall, and if he continued to fight, there would be no result except for increasing casualties.

In desperation, Sun Quan had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn.

As a piercing golden bell rang, both sides couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Wu army, which was besieging the city, retreated like a tide in the setting sun.

This day's bloody battle finally ended, in this day's battle, the Wu army can be said to have put all the troops into the siege, successively invested more than 70,000 troops to attack the city, and the Wei army's more than 60,000 defenders have basically all been on the field!

Today, the Wei army has paid a terrible price of more than 10,000 people, while the Wu army's casualties have reached nearly 20,000, and the total number of casualties on both sides has reached an astonishing 30,000 to nearly 40,000 in one day, which is absolutely unprecedented! This also shows how tragic this battle was!

In the following time, Wu's army attacked Shouchun day by day. It's a pity that, as said in the past, the encouragement brought by Sun Quan's presence in the battle array has disappeared, and the Wu army, which has experienced a drum of strength and then three times and exhausted, returned to the beginning again in the following days, which can be described as a lack of effort, and after a few days, the casualties of the Wei army were only a few hundred, which can be described as a "miracle".

After midnight, Shouchun City seemed very quiet, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the quiet moonlight sprinkled on the city land, like a hazy light veil. The night here is so beautiful that it's hard to imagine that not so long ago it was a hellish place like a place of death and death.

In the mountains and forests near Shouchun, a team was advancing in the direction of Xiquyang with a rapid march, led by a young and handsome young general with a cold and almost gloomy face, who was Cao Cao's second son, Cao Pi, the second prince of Great Wei.

Before dawn, the team led by Cao Pi came to the south gate of Xiquyang City, and at this moment, the team was all out of breath and looked exhausted.

Because Xiquyang is only a county seat, there is no moat, and the city wall is made of mud, and the height is only a little more than a zhang.

"General, this is Xiquyang!" A lieutenant reported to Cao Picha

I have to say one thing here, originally the title of the Wei sergeant for Cao Pi was His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but he was sternly rejected by Cao Pi, and let the Wei Sergeant only call him a general on the battlefield in the future, not His Royal Highness the Second Prince!

Cao Pi looked at Xiquyang, who was exposed to the light of dawn not far away, and asked the captain, "Do you know the deployment of troops in the city?" ”

Captain Wei shook his head a little frustratedly and said, "I don't know!" Since a group of Wu troops entered the city a few days ago, the inspection of the Wu army in the city has become stronger, and no one is allowed to enter Xiquyang at all! (To be continued......)
