The drums of war rumbled, the sailors under the command of Huang Gai hit the east city wall along the simple ladder, all of them were very brave, the Wei army desperately threw stones and trees under the city, the arrows continued to fly down, the Wu army that was shot by the arrows fell down one after another, many people rolled down from the ladder, a huge wooden suddenly fell into the surging soldiers under the city, a rain of blood swayed when it landed, and several Wu soldiers were smashed on the spot to the flesh and blood.

The onslaught from the city walls did not stop the Wu army, and the soldiers on both sides inevitably fell into a fierce hand-to-hand battle at the top of the city.

The soldiers on both sides roared, desperately slashing the weapons in their hands at each other, and the blood rained all over the sky.

Tai Shici, who was in charge of the defense of the city, kept throwing the reserves into the bloody battle at the head of the city, but the reserves thrown in were like stones thrown into the waterhole, and disappeared after stirring up a wave.

Just when the Wei army and the Wu army were stumbling at the head of the city, an alarm suddenly came from the direction of Xicheng, and a Wu army of 5,000 people suddenly launched a surprise attack on the western city wall.

Tai Shi Ci, who was commanding the battle on the East City Gate, was taken aback, and at the same time felt helpless, all the strength of the Wei army had been invested in the East City.

Tai Shi Ci turned his heart sideways, raised his sword and led a hundred personal soldiers to join the battle, Tai Shi Ci hoped to repel the enemy in front of him as soon as possible, and then deal with the enemy army in the west.

However, although Tai Shici's lead greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, the tenacity of the enemy army was extremely strong, although the front retreated under the fierce counterattack of the Wei army, but it held the bridgehead position at the head of the city, which made the Wei army unable to repel the Wu army for a long time.

Five thousand Wu troops carried a simple cloud ladder and braved the sparse arrows to carve under the city wall, and quickly set up the cloud ladder. Biting the ring head knife, he quickly climbed upward.

Hundreds of defenders tried to stop them, but due to the disparity in strength, the Wu army reached the top of the city a moment later, and the soldiers of both sides immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Amid the thrilling screams and screams, the number of Wei troops rapidly decreased. More and more Wu troops rushed to the city.

Seeing that the west city gate was about to be lost, at this moment, a team of men and horses rushed along the city wall, but the leading general was not Tai Shici, but a burly man wearing soldier armor and holding a big sword!

The burly man led nearly a thousand Wei troops behind him to enter the offensive and defensive battle of the West City Gate, and after that, the newly added new force effectively resisted the attack of the Wu army, and the burly man was also extraordinary. After rushing into the enemy formation of the Wu army, there was no opponent under the sword!

With the addition of the new force, the offensive of the Wu army was blocked, and the original momentum of breaking through the bamboo disappeared, and the battle entered a white heat.

At this time, Tai Shici and the others finally defeated the Wu army that stormed the east city gate, and nearly 2,000 bloodied soldiers roared and joined the battlefield. Suddenly, the unguarded Wei army was beaten back and back, after a bloody battle. Finally repelled this surprise attack of Sun Jian's army.

Tai Shi Ci came to the burly man, patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Good boy, yes, what is your name, any position in the army?!" ”

"General Hui, subordinate Wei Yan. The words are long, just an ordinary soldier! "Wei Yan hugged his fists,

"Soldier?!" Tai Shi Ci looked rather surprised.

"Exactly."

Tai Shi Ci asked Wei Yan with a surprised face: "I would have seen that you were good at martial arts, but why are you not just an ordinary soldier?" ”

Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh: "General Hui, it's all because his subordinates have not been in the army for a long time, even if they want to be loyal to Your Majesty." There is no way! ”

Tai Shi Ci suddenly said: "I see, but you don't have to worry, today you are trying to block the attack of the Wu army, this is a great achievement, and I will ask for credit to Your Majesty for you!" ”

Wei Yan was overjoyed, he resigned from his position in the Chen Capital School Palace and threw himself into the army, in order to make meritorious contributions and get Cao Cao's appreciation, he hugged his fists and said to Tai Shici: "Thank you, general!" ”

After letting Wei Yan follow him, Tai Shi Ci once again threw himself into the offensive and defensive battle, at this moment, Huang Gai, who failed in the attack on the West City Gate, once again urged his soldiers to launch a strong attack on the East City Gate again, but this time the morale of the soldiers under Huang Gai's command was obviously not as good as before, and they stormed for nearly half an hour, but there was no substantial progress.

Huang Gai flicked his horsewhip with a look of chagrin and ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

The alarm bell on behalf of the retired soldiers rang immediately.

Looking at the Wu army that receded like a tide, the Wei soldiers at the head of the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Huang Gai gathered all the departments, counted them, and found that nearly 5,000 soldiers had been lost in the siege battle in just a few hours, Huang Gai looked at the sky to the south, frowned and muttered: "I don't know what the situation is with the prince and General Zhou?" ”

A scout hurriedly rushed to Huang Gai and reported: "General, the flying pigeon of the prince has passed the book." ”

The scout said, handing over a short note with both hands, and Huang Gai hurriedly took it and looked at it, frowning slightly.

"What did the prince say?" The subordinate general on the side couldn't help but ask.

Huang Gai frowned and said: "The 50,000 elites of the prince failed to launch a surprise attack before Cao Ren reacted to the arrival of the country, and were repelled by the Third Army of the Wei Army a few miles in front of the Chibi camp, and the losses were not small. ”

The general was taken aback and asked urgently, "General, what should we do then?" ”

"The prince has failed to achieve the expected goal, and we are already alone! And the Gangneung City in front of you can be broken overnight! We can only retreat! Tell the order to go down and immediately spread it to the river! ”

"No!" The general agreed and immediately retreated.

Soon after, Wei Yan, who was carrying a big knife, saw tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city heading towards the Yangtze River in the east, Wei Yan hurriedly found Tai Shici and said urgently: "General, the enemy suddenly opened to the east!" ”

Tai Shi Ci was stunned, and hurriedly ran out of the city gate tower, leaning against the wall battlements and looking out, Tai Shi Ci muttered, "Look at this scene, the enemy army seems to be retreating!" ”

Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he excitedly proposed: "General, since this is the case, why don't we go out of the city and beat him!" ”

Tai Shici shook his head and said, "No! There are not enough troops in the city, and we don't know if it's an enemy plot! ”

Wei Yandeng was discouraged, and at this time, a herald hurriedly rushed to Tai Shici and reported: "General, General Cao's flying pigeon biography!" As he spoke, the herald handed a short note in both hands.

Tai Shici hurriedly took it and looked at it, and laughed excitedly: "Great! ”

Seeing this, Wei Yan hurriedly came over and couldn't wait to ask, "General, I don't know if General Cao has any good news?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "The 50,000 elites led by Sun Ce were repelled in front of the Jingzhou camp!" It seems that the reason why Huang Gai scattered the army was because of this situation. (To be continued.) )
