Chapter 496: Counterattack!

Thank you Situ Shangxuan V Gongzi for the reward! Thanks to Childe zhuffaa for the two monthly passes!

The generals who followed Zhang Liao's side, except for Cao Pi, also looked heavy and dignified, and the Wei soldiers at the head of the city looked a little indifferent, perhaps because of the tragic battle yesterday, so that their hearts could no longer rise a little wave.

It didn't take long for the generals of the Wei army to see that the army of Wu was slowly pressing up was divided into three parts, of which the left and right armies were moving in the direction of the west and east of the city respectively, and the size of these two armies was about 15,000 people.

"The soldiers are divided into two ways, it seems that the Wu army is planning to attack on three sides today!!" Cao Pi frowned and said coldly.

"Zhang Chang and Li Da, you two immediately lead your troops to reinforce the east and west city walls! Be careful! Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.

Zhang Chang and Li Da agreed in unison and left in a hurry, and at this moment, the war drums of the Wu army suddenly sounded, and the Wei soldiers on the city wall were all startled and hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see that more than 40,000 people in the Wu army had stopped two hundred steps away, and then Zhang Liao The kind of catapult they had seen yesterday was pushed forward.

There was some commotion among the generals of the Wei army at the head of the city, and even Cao Pi couldn't help but be moved, and said: "General Zhang, at this time, we must let the soldiers temporarily avoid it, otherwise, it will only bring unnecessary casualties to our army!" ”

Zhang Liao came back to his senses, heard Cao Pi's words, nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly ordered: "Leave a thousand foot soldiers to monitor the city wall, and the rest of the soldiers immediately retreat from the city!" ”

After Zhang Liao's order was issued, the Wei soldiers above the city head suddenly moved, and there were more than 30,000 Wei soldiers on the city wall. Methodically retreated from the city wall, leaving only more than a thousand people to watch. And these Wei soldiers who were left behind had nervousness in their eyes. There is a trace of reluctance, but there is only no fear and timidity!

It's just that when the Wei soldiers have not completely retreated from the city wall, the terrifying whistling sound has reached everyone's ears, and the wail like a ghost crying makes all the Wei soldiers can't help but stand on end.

Immediately afterwards, the rain of stones suddenly swept over the city, and some of the Wei soldiers who had not had time to retreat from the city were flying in the rain of stones, screaming and making a huge dull crash, which made people tremble.

The reason why Zhang Liao did not scatter most of his military power under the city at the beginning. It is because if the Wu army adopts the means of light troops and quick attack, the Wei army will be caught off guard!

The so-called light army fast attack, is by the elite soldiers carrying ropes under the cover of strong crossbowmen to carry out a whirlwind raid on the weakly defended city, this means of attack first appeared in the Qin army in the Warring States Period, the so-called kamikaze commando of the later small Japan, in fact, is also borrowed from the first appeared in the Warring States Period, the tactics invented by the Qin army!

After a quick and brief rain of stones, every soldier could hear the clear and heavy wheezing of his comrades around him. The soldiers looked up at the city, waiting for the second wave of stone rain to arrive.

"What's going on with the enemy?" Zhang Liao raised his head and shouted

The voice of a Wei soldier at the head of the city replied: "The enemy army is reloading the stones, and the assault force has not moved!" ”

As soon as the words ended, everyone heard the familiar whistling sound from far and near. Everyone couldn't help but tense their nerves. Waiting for the moment when the stone rain falls!

Another wave of stone rain came, and fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Wei army at this time had already retreated under the city walls. The casualties caused by this are not as high as last time, but that doesn't mean that those stone rains have failed!

At this time, within the spring of Shouchun. Everywhere you can see the scene after being attacked by the stone rain, and the thatched hut of a family was directly crushed by a huge stone. Blood slowly flowed out of it, and it was obvious that the people of this family did not have time to escape, and they died directly!

"General Zhang, if the Wu army can throw Shi Yu into Shouchun, it means that their catapult troops must have advanced more than a hundred steps, and they are already within the range of our army's catapults!"

If you want to say that at this time, who still says the most calm person, it is Cao Pi, Zhang Liao and they all feel a little irritable because of the grievances and the casualties in Shouchun, only Cao Pi still calmly calculated whether the Wu army's catapult troops had entered the range of their own catapult troops!

Catapult, as the first Wei army to put it into the battlefield, of course, it is impossible not to have it, but it is a pity that the previous Wu army was too smart, and its catapults were placed within the range of the Wei army's catapults, resulting in the Wei army's catapult troops could only watch, without the slightest way!

But now, obviously the form is different, Zhang Liao also thought of this, and in the same way, Zhang Liao also thought of another secret weapon, which Cao Pi brought, which belongs to the latest product in the Daliang Royal Arsenal!

"Order, catapult troops to give Ben a hard beat!"

After Zhang Liao's order was conveyed, the catapult soldiers who had been aggrieved for a long time and didn't know how long, everyone's faces were red and excited, and one catapult after another was ready to launch under their operation, and then a Wei army soldier put something like a wine tank on it and retreated, and another Wei soldier stepped forward, and the torch in his hand hit the top of the wine tank, and a flame ignited on it, and at this time, the Wei army's catapult opposition was ready!

And this issue was completed in just three or four seconds, with the order of the general of the catapult troops, in Shouchun City, nearly forty catapults made a banging sound, one by one burning wine jars, rushing to the sky and landing on the camp of the Wu army!

In the camp of the Wu army, the soldiers of the Wu army, who were unable to raise their heads under the pressure of the Wei army, were really high-spirited, and it seemed that when they broke through Shouchun today, they suddenly saw small dark dots appear in the sky!

When they trembled in their hearts, they thought in fear that it was the stone rain launched by the Wei army, but they found again that the stone rain that was gradually falling was not at all, but a wine jar with flames burning at the top!

What can a small wine jug do!

As soon as he thought of this, all the Wu soldiers were not worried, and there was even one Wu soldier, as if in order to show his strength and courage, courage, he actually picked up the ring knife in his hand and slashed it at the wine jar that was about to land!

With a flash of the sword, the wine jar split, and the oil stored in it was poured on the body of this Wu soldier in an instant, and the flames burning on the wine jar, a little bit of the flame, splashed down on his body!

"Ah!!!!h

A terrifying scream sounded, and the soldier Wu just now had completely become a burning man at this time, wailing and screaming in the flames. (To be continued......)
