Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 168 Can Shouchun City still be defended?

"Stones, bring them up quickly!"

"Kerosene, bring the kerosene quickly."

"Where's the rolling log? Be smart and bring it up quickly."

"Why are you urging me? I don't want to hurry up? With so many people, how can we hurry up?"

Countless shouting voices sounded, and the sounds of cursing and cursing on the already chaotic city wall could be heard endlessly.

This scene made both Zhang Xun and Yan Xiang pale.

They didn't expect that the sudden attack would disrupt all their arrangements.

The stones, rolling logs, and kerosene collected with great difficulty were even more useless.

They even saw with their own eyes that the kerosene was ignited before being thrown down, igniting several soldiers and affecting the city defense within a few feet.

"Mr. Yan"

Before Zhang Xun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Xiang: "The only option is to fight to the death!"

"My lord can't come now, so we can only go up there."

After he finished speaking, he grabbed a big sword from the hands of the soldiers on the side and said sternly: "I, Yan Xiang, the chief secretary of the General's Mansion, am willing to live and die with you brothers!"

"kill!!!"

As a scholar, Yan Xiang picked up his weapon and rushed towards the crenellations of the city wall, unafraid in the face of the enemies below who were roaring and killing.

This courage alone has made many defenders feel high in fighting spirit.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, and also took the spear from the soldier beside him: "Zhang Xun is willing to take the lead and drive the enemy down!"

"kill!!"

The two men took the lead in the attack, and many generals and captains had a burning fighting spirit in their eyes.

"Kill on the city wall!"

"Brothers, we are coming up!!"

A dozen Xuzhou soldiers finally climbed onto the city wall with their shields on their backs.

But before I could be happy for a moment, countless people rushed in like a tidal wave, screaming.

I thought that the morale of the defenders should have been low for a long time, but on the contrary, every one of them wanted to fight desperately.

Although they were shocked, they were an elite army after all. Following Lin Fan in the east and west, how many lives were in their hands?

"Brothers, don't be afraid, stand firm, General Yuwen will be here soon!"

"kill!!"

More than a dozen Xuzhou soldiers rushed directly into the defenders with surging fighting spirit in their eyes.

Although Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun's personal actions boosted the morale of the defenders, several offensive and defensive drills made them physically exhausted, which the strong morale could not make up for.

There is a difference when coupled with the original strength.

Soon more than ten Xuzhou soldiers took a firm foothold between the two city wall crenellations.

Dozens of Xuzhou soldiers followed, and the entire attacking Xuzhou army instantly became excited.

They never expected that the first substantial attack would already reach the city wall.

If they break through the Shouchun city wall in one go, they will create history.

After all, such a strong city has always been gnawed away bit by bit.

It is rare for a city to be directly breached during a strong attack.

But now?
An attack is about to break.

Zhao Yun and Yue Fei both looked at Yuwen Chengdu with a bit of envy.

They did not expect that Yuwen Chengdu would choose to launch a sudden attack at this time.

However, judging from the current situation, this attack is still very effective.

At least there are soldiers standing on the wall, which means they can eat meat for three days.

The smile on Yuwen Chengdu's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum. He did not expect that the first wave of attacks would be able to scale the city wall.

Seeing more than a hundred people swarming up the city wall, he put down the gold-plated phoenix wings in his hands, picked up his sword, and raised his shield: "Two generals, let's see how I break the city."

As he said that, he was going to kill towards the city wall.

But the next moment, Lin Fan's voice sounded.

"It's not the time yet."

"Suddenly ascending the city wall is not only because of the bravery of our army, but more importantly because the enemy was not prepared." "Now that you ascend the city wall, you will be unable to follow up and the danger will be great."

Yuwen Chengdu turned around, his face full of unwillingness: "This"

"Lord, God-given opportunity."

"I'm going to give it a try anyway."

"If we break down the city wall in one fell swoop, we will make history."

Lin Fan shook his head: "The eighty thousand elite soldiers in the city are as powerful as a rainbow."

"It is more difficult to climb the city wall and occupy Shouchun with hundreds of soldiers than to reach the sky."

Yuwen Chengdu wanted to say more, but Yue Fei on the side nodded slowly: "My lord, you are right."

"Look at the guards on the city wall. They are all very motivated. It is impossible to defeat the city at once."

"Other than that, there have been no breakthroughs in other places, which means that the destruction of the city just now was just an accident."

Yuwen Chengdu stared at the city wall and sighed for a while.

"Lord, please withdraw your troops now?"

Lin Fan nodded slowly: "The pressure we put on the city wall once is enough."

“The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.”

"Don't be in a hurry."

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the warriors who were still fighting on the city wall, his eyes full of unwillingness: "Where are they?"

"Are we going to abandon them like this?"

A complex look flashed in Lin Fan's eyes: "War is always cruel."

"The chaos on the city wall is over, and the gaps have been blocked."

"Even if the entire army presses forward, there is no hope of breaking the city."

"so"

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes were filled with deep unwillingness.

He wanted to step forward and charge desperately, but he knew that Lin Fan's words were right.

On the city wall, the bloody battle continued.

When the guards on the city wall stabilized, the hundreds of people who broke through to the city tower were not enough to defend themselves.

Because the difference in strength is too big.

After blocking the gap, the soldiers on the city wall were brave, but they could not withstand countless attacks from the enemy.

Yan Xiang looked at the remaining dozen Xuzhou soldiers who were still fighting, with a complicated look in his eyes.

He admired these soldiers from the bottom of his heart, but they were hostile to each other and he could not show mercy.

"Put down your weapons now and spare your lives."

"You should know that the gap has been blocked, and you must surrender to survive."

"There are [-] elite soldiers in Shouchun City, and the food and grass are enough for us to last a year."

"There is absolutely no possibility of breaking the city."

"Put down your weapons and avoid death!!"

As soon as Yan Xiang said these words, Zhang Xun beside him couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Xiang glared at Zhang Xun to stop his next words, and looked at the more than ten Xuzhou soldiers with expectant eyes.

Many of the more than ten Xuzhou soldiers had already lost their honors. They gasped: "Even if I die, I will hold you back."

"Brothers, kill!!"

The dozen or so people did not continue to sit still and wait for death, but rushed towards the surrounding defenders one by one.

After more than ten people chopped down about twenty people, they finally fell to the ground.

A complicated look appeared on Yan Xiang's face: "I didn't expect that a soldier can be fearless of life and death. Lin Fan is really scary!"

"Can Shouchun City still be defended?"

Zhang Xun was stunned, and then he understood the meaning of Yan Xiang's words just now, and a flash of confusion also flashed in his eyes.

If there had been no fight, he would have been confident of guarding Shouchun, but now
Seeing that the losses on defense were greater than those on offense, he was heartbroken and asked the same question: "Can Shouchun City be defended?"
