It was getting dark, and Wu Ban's army did not retreat this time, as if it wanted to attack at night. Cui Yu did not dare to slack off, and ordered the soldiers to take strict precautions, and never give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of.

In the second half of the night, the weather became colder and colder, and the defending Wu army on the city wall was very tired, constantly rubbing his hands, and the army on Wu Ban's side was not having a good time, especially the soldiers holding shields, their fingers were numb, and occasionally the embarrassing phenomenon of the shield falling to the ground, everyone was relying on a perseverance to persist tenaciously.

It is impossible that there is no movement, Cui Yu is full of doubts, the more the enemy army is like this, the more uneasy he feels in his heart. In order to let everyone get as much rest as possible, Cui Yu ordered the soldiers to take turns on duty, and he himself didn't close his eyes for a moment.

At the fourth watch, a rumbling drum suddenly sounded under the stone wall, Cui Yu heard the sound, and hurriedly ran up the city wall to check the situation, but saw that it was still dark below, and there was no change at all.

However, just as Cui Yu probed his head and looked down, he suddenly felt that a strong wind was coming in front of him, and it was a pitch-black arrow feather, which was so fast that people couldn't avoid it at all.

"I'm dying!" With Cui Yu's exclamation, the arrow hit him right in the chest, and Cui Yu was like a fallen leaf, falling under the stone wall. Cui Yu's bloodshot eyes were finally covered by the eyelids in the night, and he never opened them again.

It was the general Wu Ban who released this cold arrow, he adopted Zhang Nan's strategy and went all out to deal with Cui Yu, the leader, the army never left, and also created a confusing formation, the purpose was to tempt Cui Yu to climb the city tower, and when he showed his body and was careless, he could take the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop.

In order to achieve this goal, Wu Ban himself was among the soldiers holding shields, and the bow in his hand was the lark bow that Liu Bei had recently given him, and it was the best bow in the world that Huang Zhong once wore.

When Cui Yu finally leaned out on the stone wall, Wu Ban suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, took a bow and shot arrows, and shot at Cui Yu above accurately. Because the arrow feathers were painted black, it was difficult to find it in the night, of course Cui Yu didn't think about it so much, but in the end he still fell for the trick and died in the moment.

An arrow shot down Cui Yu, and Wu Ban's army cheered and immediately launched an attack overnight. Although the main general was killed, it did have a great impact on the army of Jiangdong, and the defense was chaotic for a while, but he did not surrender immediately.

I don't know when, a young new face appeared on the stone wall, it was a little-known young general Chen Ping, after learning that Cui Yu was shot, he tried his best to appease the feelings of the soldiers, under his leadership, continued to stubbornly resist the siege of the Shu army, and soon orderly, and Cui Yu was not much different from the reign.

The battle lasted until noon the next day, and Wu Ban's army still failed to take this stone wall, and the chagrin in his heart can be imagined. If he could smash this stone wall with his head, Wu Ban would definitely be the first to fight it.

Because of the death of the main general, the morale of the Jiangdong army was also affected somewhat, and the victorious Wu Ban made a wrong decision, he ordered a team of soldiers to tie Cui Yu's body upside down on a high pole and stand in front of the two armies to deter the soldiers defending the city.

The effect backfired, and when the Jiangdong soldiers saw this situation, they wept bitterly and cursed the injustice of Wu Ban's army, Wu Ban will be punished by heaven and will not die well!

The young general Chen Ping took the opportunity to make a generous statement, and after counting all kinds of bad deeds of the Shu army, even the corpse of the main general can be treated like this, if we open the city and surrender, maybe they will be broken into thousands of pieces.

For a time, the soldiers defending the city were more united than ever, hating the same enemy, and vowed that even if there was only one person left, they would never let the Shu army cross the stone wall. If even the last person is killed in battle, then under the netherworld, the two armies will continue to fight.

The sky-high anger shrouded the stone wall, and the attacking Shu army involuntarily produced a trace of cowardice, and the casualties were even more severe than before.

At this point, Wu Ban and Zhang Bao's army failed to step into Yidao for half a step, and the war was in a stalemate, and if they wanted to take Yidao, they could only rely on another force, that is, the 50,000 barbarian army led by Shamoke.

Sun Huan only took 10,000 soldiers and horses to intercept Shamoke, he had long heard of Shamoke's bravery, and he was by no means inferior to the world's first-class generals, so he naturally would not fight with brute force.

So, Sun Huan led the soldiers to set up a barrier every few miles in that steep valley, mainly firewood, grass and branches, and the back of the barrier was interspersed with many soldiers guarding.

This kind of defensive measure naturally can't stop Shamoko's army, and Sun Huan's mind is also very simple, that is, try to drag Shamoke's army as much as possible, if the other two sides can win, reinforcements will naturally arrive.

Shamoko led the army into the canyon very cautiously, and did not go far, when a barrier of firewood, grass and branches blocked his way.

Shamoko disagreed, and ordered three thousand barbarians to clear the obstacles, but when these soldiers just came to him, a team of archers suddenly poured out from behind the barrier, and fired arrows frantically at the barbarians.

Hundreds of men had died in an instant, and Shamoko was furious, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to raise their shields, and to fire their arrows as they went, and to rush through the barrier no matter what.

Just as the army rushed forward with all its might, the soldiers guarding the barrier retreated, and torches were thrown at the barrier, and the branches of firewood and grass were ignited in an instant, and a raging fire rose into the sky.

Shamoko hurriedly told his soldiers to back off, and the fire spread and burned for a full hour before it stopped. Presumably it was the other party's delaying plan, Shamoko saw some clues, cautiously passed through this place, and led the army to continue to advance in depth.

He hadn't gone far when he saw a barrier of wood and grass, which made Shamoko very depressed, and this time he had learned wisely, and in order to prevent archers from hiding behind him, no one could get close, but let the soldiers set fire first.

The raging fire ignited again, however, there was no screaming of Jiangdong soldiers from the back of the barrier, and after the barrier burned out, a large pit several zhang wide and more than ten zhang deep appeared, lying in the middle of the road.

Shamoko was annoyed and angry, and it was uncomfortable to be teased one after another, but in order to be able to continue the march, Shamoko had to first resist his indignation, and ordered the soldiers to fill in the pit until it was dark, and finally filled in a way through the pit.

Shamoko was very annoyed, the two barriers had delayed for so many hours, and there must have been other obstacles ahead. Shamoko ordered his soldiers to march a few more miles, and set up a large camp in a relatively open valley.
