Chapter 856: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

In Luoyang City, Liu Wei was dealing with crises in all aspects, but Shouchun's offense and defense were even more tragic.

In the area of Xiangling outside the city, the battle flags of the Qin army were fluttering all over the mountains, and the Cao army also strengthened its defense against the rear formation.

At first, the Cao army did not attack the city wall, but the Qin army in the city never moved, and Cao Ren, who was responsible for commanding the siege, was a little unable to hold back, and ordered the Cao army to storm Shouchun City.

The Cao army rushed to the Shouchun city wall like a wave, and countless Cao troops crowded under the city wall, put the cloud ladder on the city wall, and struggled to climb towards the city.

The Qin army picked up the boulder and smashed it at the Cao army who climbed the city wall, and every time the boulder fell, one or several Cao Jun's smashed brains burst and the corpse was on the spot.

A pot of boiling oil poured into the city, and Cao Jun, who was scalded or scalded to death by the boiling oil, also fell in pieces.

The Cao army that was besieging the city suffered more casualties than in the previous days, but the Qin army was also under strong pressure.

"General, the oil is gone!" Just as he was directing the Qin army to resist the siege of Cao's army, a soldier ran behind Lu Bu and shouted to him.

Boiling oil is one of the most effective weapons to defend against the Cao army, hearing that the oil is gone, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted to the soldier: "Order the soldiers under the city to prevent the Cao army from breaking through the city gate!" ”

"No!" The cries of the besieging Cao army came and went, and in the midst of the loud noise, the soldier answered and ran down the city wall as quickly as possible.

The soldier who told Lu Bu that he had run out of fuel had just run down the city wall, and before Lu Bu could turn around and face out of the city, another soldier also ran over in a panic.

Seeing that the soldier was a little flustered, Lu Bu frowned and whispered to him: "Why are you so flustered? ”

"General Qiqi!" After being questioned by Lu Bu, the soldier hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "The stones in the city have run out!" ”

The fuel was gone, the stones were used up, and relying only on arrows could not cause much damage to the besieging Cao army.

Hearing this news, Lu Bu was also stunned.

"Tell the soldiers to defend the city wall and drive all the Cao troops who attacked the city!" Knowing that the oil and stones were running out, it was impossible to stop Cao's army from landing on the city, so Lu Bu gave a loud order to the soldier.

The soldier answered, turned around and ran along the city wall, and as he ran, he shouted loudly: "The general has an order, drive all the Cao troops who have attacked the city!" ”

Just when Lu Bu was worried about running out of fuel and stones, a Qin army crossbowman beside him reached out and touched a quiver after shooting an arrow, only to find that there was not even an arrow in it.

Cao's army attacked the city, and the defenders had exhausted all the materials for defense.

The crossbowmen beside Lu Bu looked at the empty quiver with a stunned expression, and the crossbowmen who fired arrows everywhere also stopped shooting arrows.

Many crossbowmen have found that they have run out of arrows.

The only weapon that a strong crossbowman can fight without arrows is the sword hanging from his waist!

The fight with Cao Jun is about to be staged in the city!

Turning his head to look at the strong crossbowman who had used up all the arrows, Lu Bu felt a sense of sadness in his heart that Shouchun was about to be broken.

In the battle of Xuzhou that day, he also defended to the point of running out of ammunition and food, and now guarding Shouchun, history repeats itself on him again!

Carrying Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and shouted to the nearby Qin army soldiers: "Soldiers! Our army is out of fuel, out of stones, out of arrows! Cao Jun ascended to the top of the city, but it was only a matter of moments, are you willing to be captured by Cao Jun? ”

"I don't want to!" As soon as Lu Bu's shout fell, the nearby Qin army responded loudly.

"Together with General Ben, fight hard against Cao's army!" Raising the halberd in his hand, Lu Bu shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army in the city: "On the top of the mountain, the battle flag of our army is fluttering, and the reinforcements have arrived!" Just defend the city, and the reinforcements will come to the rescue when they get the best fighters! ”

The reinforcements were undoubtedly the lifesaver for the Qin army at the head of the city, and when they heard Lu Bu shouting that the reinforcements had arrived, all the Qin troops let out a shout in unison.

The crossbowman dropped the crossbow to the ground, drew his sword from his waist, and removed the round shield from his back, ready to fight the enemy in close combat like the heavy infantry.

The heavy infantry held shields one by one, carrying Pu knives or Mo knives, quietly waiting for Cao's army to ascend to the top of the city.

Everyone's face was filled with fortitude, and everyone's eyes were shining with bloodthirsty brilliance!

The number of Mo sword soldiers was not very large, holding the hilt of the sword in both hands, standing at the front of the Qin army's column.

The Mo knife has a longer handle, and compared to the Pu knife, it is more suitable for stabbing the Cao army who climbed the city wall, and all the Mo knife soldiers knew very well that once the Cao army climbed the city wall, they would fall into a tragic fight.

The best way to stop Cao's army from landing in the city is to poke them under the city before they can gain a firm foothold.

A pair of eyes stared at the battlements, and at this moment, the first Cao Jun poked his head out from under the battlements.

"Kill!" As soon as Cao Jun wanted to jump onto the city wall with his hands supporting the battlements, a Mo knife soldier facing him had already let out an angry roar and stabbed the Mo knife in his hand towards him.

With both feet on the ladder and two hands pressed on the battlements, when the Mo knife pierced over, the Cao army had no way to dodge or block, and his throat was pierced.

The Qin army Mo knife soldier who stabbed him in the throat, when he pulled out the Mo knife, the throat of the Cao army soldier gushed blood, and he fell straight backwards and fell under the city wall.

Cao Jun behind him also struggled to climb up as he fell.

With the lesson of the previous Cao Jun, the Cao Jun in the back blocked the shield in his hand in front of him when he climbed, although there was a little less risk of being directly pierced, but his feet were not so stable.

One by one, Cao Jun was stabbed under the city by Qin Jun Mo's swordsmen, and more Cao Jun climbed to the top of the city after their companions fell.

Finally, a soldier of the Cao army jumped over the battlements and stood firmly on the city wall.

He was holding a shield and a short spear, and his feet had just stood firm, and before he had time to pounce on the Qin army, a group of Qin soldiers armed with Pu knives had already rushed up with a shout.

The Pu knife flew over, and with the silver arcs of light crossing, Cao Jun, who had just jumped on the city wall, was suddenly chopped into a ball of bright red flesh.

The Qin army was ready for defense, and it was very difficult for the Cao army to climb the city wall.

More Cao troops rushed to the city wall with new ladders, more and more ladders were set up on the edge of the city wall, and more and more Cao troops climbed along the ladders towards the city wall.

"Drive Cao Jun down!" Finally, groups of Cao troops poured onto the city wall, and a Qin army officer at the head of the city shouted loudly, holding a Pu knife, and pounced on several Cao troops who had just climbed the city wall.

Cao Jun climbed the city wall, and the two sides immediately launched a fierce hand-to-hand combat on the city wall.

One Qin soldier was holding a Pu knife, and as soon as he cut the neck of one Cao soldier in half, he felt a pain in his arm, and the other Cao Jun had already swung his long sword and chopped off his left hand.

Let out a miserable howl, the Qin army violently lifted the Pu knife and slashed towards Cao Jun, who had cut off his arm.

I didn't expect that he would be able to endure the pain and slash out even if his arm was broken, and as soon as Cao Jun wanted to stab at him, a sword light flashed in front of him.

The sharp Pu knife slashed through Cao Jun's eyes, Cao Jun only felt a pain in his eyes, and the two eyeballs were instantly cut by the Pu knife.

Black, white, and red liquids mixed together, and Cao Jun's eyeballs flowed out of his sockets.

The Qin army, which had broken his arm, did not stop the attack, and at the same time that Cao Jun howled, he withdrew the Pu knife in his hand, and then stabbed forward sharply.

The sharp Pu knife stabbed into Cao Jun's chest, Cao Jun's body was stunned, and at the same time that Qin Jun pulled out Pu Dao, his chest splattered with blood and fell on his back.

After splitting two Cao Jun in a row, the Qin Jun with a broken arm was about to fight Cao Jun again with a Pu knife, and his heart suddenly hurt again.

A short sharp spear pierced through his back and chest.

Cao Jun, who pierced his body, did not delay much, and after piercing him with a spear, he violently pulled out the short spear, and then looked for other Qin troops to fight.

The body was pierced by Cao Jun's spear, and the cheek muscles of Qin Jun, who had broken his arm, twitched violently.

He clearly felt that consciousness was being stripped from his body, and the scene in front of him was becoming more and more blurred.

Just when he felt that his legs were about to lose their strength and were about to fall, he saw a Cao Jun climb from the ladder to the battlements again.

With the last bit of strength left in his body, the Qin army, who had broken his arm, let out a roar of rage and rushed towards the Cao army.

The Pu knife in his hand was thrown to the ground, and the only remaining right arm of the Qin army was around Cao Jun, who had just ascended to the top of the city, and crashed out of the battlement.

Cao Jun, who was being held by him, let out a terrible howl, fell out of the city wall with him, and fell straight towards the foot of the city.

With a dull sound, blood gushed from Cao Jun's mouth and nose, and his internal organs had been broken, and it was impossible to live.

The broken arm of Qin Jun, who was holding him and falling out of the city wall, was already out of breath before he hit the ground.

He lay quietly on Cao Jun, who was carried by him and fell off the city wall, the injured parts of his body had stopped bleeding, and his bloodstained face was peaceful, as if he was just asleep and was having a sweet dream.

More and more Cao troops poured onto the city wall, and the Qin army on the city wall was also struggling to fight back, and on the Shouchun city wall, it was like turning on a huge meat grinder, and countless soldiers from both sides fell down with blood splashed in the shadow of the sword and sword, and they were not able to get up again.

Cao Junzhongjun far away from the city wall of Shouchun.

Cao Ren stood under the handsome banner, staring at the battlefield from afar.

Although he was far away and couldn't see what was happening on the battlefield, just the sound of shouts and killings coming from the city wall, Cao Ren could tell that the battle there was extremely fierce.

"Mingjin retreats!" Staring at the Shouchun city wall, Cao Ren's brows were tightly locked, and he finally gave the order to the partial general on the side to withdraw the troops!
