During this time, Sun Huan was not idle at all, he ordered his soldiers to build a large number of fortifications at the pass between the two mountains on the west side.

During the war, Sun Huan obeyed Lu Xun's Jianyi, personally divided 10,000 troops to the south, and defended the mountain road on the south side.

Zhu Ran on the riverside was on guard, divided the naval army into three routes, and built a defensive barrier on the riverbank, leaving it as a case that the army of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing was defeated, and it could be intercepted again after going ashore.

Although they were well prepared, the two of them were still worried, after all, Liu Bei's army was too numerous, and the probability of successful defense was very low.

Wu Ban and Zhang Nan led their armies and approached five miles in front of Yidao City, only to see the stone wall built in the valley, which was dozens of meters high and five or six meters wide. Countless Jiangdong soldiers, armed with bows and arrows, are carrying boulders and rolling logs to be on full alert.

If Wu Ban and the others took the method of attacking when Sun Huan had just been defeated and retreated to Yidao, Sun Huan might not be able to hold it, but Wu Ban and Zhang Nan missed the opportunity and gave the other party a full respite.

"The barrier is so strong, I'm afraid it will not be easy to conquer." Zhang Nan frowned, feeling that things had become complicated.

"The other two armies have arrived, and at this moment, there is only a strong attack." Although Wu Ban also had the same idea as Zhang Nan, he was very unsure in his heart, but in order to cooperate with the action, he still made up his mind.

It must be futile to go to the battle, because there is not even a city gate here, and it is obvious that the other party only wants to defend and has no intention of sending troops to fight.

In the end, Wu Ban gave an order, and the army immediately launched a full-scale attack.

Hundreds of stone-throwing trucks were pushed out, towards this barrier, constantly throwing stones, for a while, the sky of stones raining, quite spectacular.

However, the stone wall was so strong that the stones hit it, leaving only potholes and falling stone dust, which could not be shaken at all.

After two hours of attacking, there was no progress except for the casualty toll skyrocketing. Wu Ban was so anxious that his throat was smoking, and seeing that this trick did not work, he could only order the soldiers to carry out the ladder and forcibly climb the stone wall.

Because this place is too narrow, Wu Ban can't have a large army in one fell swoop, so he can only attack in a group, and it can't be scaled, which is exactly what Cui Yu, the general of Sun Huan's army guarding this place, is happy to see.

Seeing this, Cui Yu immediately ordered that even if he fought to the last man, he would definitely defend this place.

The tenacious and heroic soldiers carried the ladder and shouted all the way to the stone wall, and above the stone wall, a rain of arrows came down in an instant, overwhelming the sky, and many soldiers died under the city wall before they could set up the ladder. And the soldiers who had just climbed the ladder had not had a chance to fight before they were wounded by arrows or stones, and fell down screaming.

Half an hour passed, and Wu Ban lost more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the narrow roads were paved with corpses, so that the speed of the assault was even slower.

Wu Ban was so angry that his eyes were split, and his heart was very anxious, this time he went to encircle Yidao, only succeeded and not failed, and he must not affect the overall battle plan because of himself, so he roared, took the lead, and personally led the team to rush forward.

With Wu Ban boosting morale, the army finally braved the rain of arrows to come to the stone wall, and once again set up a ladder, and under the cover of bows and arrows, the soldiers fought bravely to climb upward.

Cui Yu led his soldiers to launch a very tenacious resistance, and countless stones fell from the air, and the number of them smashed down the ladders that had just been built.

Wu Ban's army was injured by Yan Zhan, but he still insisted on commanding his subordinates, rebuilding the ladder round by round, and striving to climb upward.

The number of soldiers who were hit by arrows on Cui Yu's side was not small, one row of soldiers fell, and another row of soldiers immediately took over their positions, constantly throwing stones downward. There were even some seriously wounded soldiers, knowing that their lives were short, and with great effort, they jumped down from above and smashed several enemies who tried to climb with their flesh and blood, which was moving.

Yin Hong's blood stained the sunset red, sprinkling a bleak light, and in the end, even this bit of brilliance was annihilated, and the sky was completely darkened, mixed with the looming river of blood, which was extremely desolate.

However, the tragic war has not stopped, and both sides have exerted their strength, and neither side is willing to back down.

The soldiers of Wu Ban were still climbing upward, and in the face of the fierce defense above, the soldiers were angry, and all of them who climbed to the top were desperately pulling down the back of a person before falling. It's just that he was an enemy before his death, and I don't know if I can become a close friend when I walk together on the Huangquan Road.

Cui Yu and Wu Ban, the two leaders, were all moved when they saw this situation, and hot tears burst out of their eyes, slid across their cheeks, and quickly turned into a cold piece in the cold wind.

Until the time of the hour, Cui Yu's defense materials had been used up, and his combat effectiveness plummeted. In desperation, Cui Yu could only order the soldiers to throw torches downward, throw old things, as long as they could be thrown, throw them all down, and stubbornly repel the soldiers who climbed the wall again and again.

Persisted in this way until midnight, the people on Wu Ban's side were sleepy, their fighting spirit began to decline, and they were barely tired of carrying out the orders they issued.

In desperation, Wu Ban ordered the soldiers to retreat and wait for tomorrow to attack again.

went back and counted the soldiers and horses, and lost more than 10,000 people, which made Wu Ban very painful, if it wasn't for Liu Bei's order to march, he would definitely not use this kind of strong attack.

Besides, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing's side, after receiving Liu Bei's instructions, immediately gathered warships and began to storm Zhu Ran on the south bank.

More than 1,000 warships formed a phalanx, and drove to the south bank, facing the huge Shu warships, Zhu Ran was not afraid, and personally led a fleet composed of more than 100 warships, calmly responded to the battle, and attacked the enemy's warships head-on.

At the same time, the warships on both sides began to attack the warship fleet of the Shu army. Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, two young generals, although they lacked experience in water combat, had also gone through some careful thinking before coming, and at the same time consulted many seniors, and felt that it was not advantageous to disperse the attack on Jiangdong warships, and it was more effective to concentrate troops.

Therefore, the warships of the Shu army were very close, and Zhu Ran led the warships to carry out several attacks from three sides, but due to the disparity in strength, they failed to disperse the opponent's warships, and even the forward speed of the Shu army did not affect too much.

"Jiangdong's naval army is just like that!" Zhang Bao's face was flushed with excitement, he had already made up his mind, as long as he could get to the shore, he would immediately divide a team of soldiers and horses to intercept Zhu Ran, and the rest of the army kept moving forward until they went deep into Yidao City.

Zhang Bao was a little happy, how could Zhu Ran give up the advantage on the river lightly, and with a rhythmic drum sounding, another Jiangdong fleet suddenly came out from the upstream.
