The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 628 Crazy Attack
Just when the Xiangyang Army of the Guan Brothers was fighting Le Jin and his reinforcements, in order to end the war in Liuyang area as soon as possible and enter Jiangxia County as soon as possible, the coalition forces of Zhang Bao and Deng Ai faced Liuyang City again. A series of onslaughts were launched.

The army led by Zhang Bao mainly attacked the west gate, Deng Ai's army mainly attacked the north gate, and Deng Ai's deputy Zhou Tao led a mixed force composed of Jingzhou army and Jingzhou army to attack the south gate.According to the method of besieging three Queyi, they left the east gate and did not attack.And to the east is Yangzhou, the native land of Jiangdong, which is the only retreat for Lu Xun's army.

Now Liu Yang's guards are only Lu Xun and Bu Zhi.After the army of Zhu Ran and Xu Sheng joined Lu Xun, they left the army and returned to Yicheng to rest because they were too tired.Therefore, all the troops in Liuyang City were handed over to Lu Xun to command.

Of course, Xu Sheng and Zhu Ran did not give Lu Xun face.But Lu Xun was actually more happy for these two generals to leave his army, at least Xu Sheng would not get in the way anymore.

Lu Xun stood facing the wind on the top of the east city gate. He was already very handsome.Now wearing a white armor, with the white cloak billowing in the wind behind him, he is really handsome.

However, among the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army at the head of the city, no one would have the thought to appreciate whether their commander is a handsome man or not.Under the city, Zhang Bao's Jiangzhou army marched slowly.Looking at the large black area, one can't help but feel chills down the spine.

Bu Zhi is responsible for defending the city gate in the north, which is also the key direction of the enemy's attack.The Jiaozhou righteous men he led were actually the absolute main force in Lu Xun's army.But his position is now lower than that of Lu Xun, a young man, so he can only obey Lu Xun's orders.Although, Bu Zhi felt very unbalanced about this in his heart.

Bu Zhi is now over 50 years old.Just like Gu Yong, there was rarely a smile on his face, and he looked rather deep.But Gu Yong's figure is tall and straight, but Bu Zhi's figure is not very tall, and his demeanor is still inferior to Gu Yong's.

Lu Xun couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but also full of helplessness.Facing the enemy army in front of him, his army not only has no advantage in personnel, but also has no advantage in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Lu Xun can only watch the Jiangzhou army mobilize and arrange leisurely and orderly under the city, but there is nothing he can do.

In fact, Lu Xun really wanted to fight the enemy.However, he knew that if he led the army out of the city to fight, it would be tantamount to sending sheep like tigers.What he has to do now is to stick to Liuyang City.Because he had already sent a letter asking for help to the lord Sun Quan again.

Therefore, as long as the reinforcements sent by Sun Quan can arrive, he will not necessarily continue to lose to the enemy.It seems that Lu Xun is indeed Lu Xun, even in the face of constant failures, his heart is still so persevering!

Then, Lu Xun looked up at the sky, but his heart was like the dark cloud floating in the sky.The current weather is actually a bit hot, but he suddenly felt a little chilly.

Lu Xun knew that his current retreat had reached its limit, and if he went there, it would be Yangzhou.Moreover, if he really retreats, it means that Jiangxia County is really going to be handed over to the Shu Han.

This kind of guilt is simply not something that Lu Xun can bear.

Although Lu Xun is always regarded as a scholar, in terms of status, since he entered Sun Quan's account, he has been a general from beginning to end.

Although he didn't take part in many battles, there were never rumors that he was afraid of war.However, now facing Jiangzhou Army and Jiangzhou Army, two armies with the same unyielding fighting spirit, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.Lu Xun finally felt a little discouraged. No matter how hard he tried, it seemed that it was difficult to reverse the result.

However, after taking a deep breath, Lu Xun quickly threw away his disappointment and regained his spirits.

Therefore, Lu Xun quickly came up with a strategy to boost morale.He immediately summoned the generals of the army on the top of the city, and explained the current situation of Liu Yangcheng to them without any scruples.

Moreover, it was extremely unexpected that Lu Xun announced in public that if anyone wanted to leave through the East City Gate, he would not stop him.However, after the start of the war, if anyone wants to escape, what awaits them is military discipline and capital punishment!

Hearing what Lu Xun said, the general felt grief and indignation in his heart.After all, Lu Xun's current status is the majestic commander of Jiangdong's three armies, but he uttered such sad words before the war, which is really insulting.Therefore, none of the main generals cheered up immediately, and none of them left, expressing that they would fight the enemy to the end!

Some generals even roared angrily: "What does the commander-in-chief mean by saying this? We will definitely defend Liuyang City with all our might!"

Seeing the general's performance, Lu Xun knew that his morale was almost boosted, so he nodded in relief.This is the so-called "sad soldiers must win" in the art of war.Lu Xun was indeed a man well versed in the art of war.

In fact, these soldiers of the Jiangdong Army under Lu Xun are indeed mourners now.Their strength is not as many as the enemy's, and their equipment is not as sophisticated as the enemy's.These are of course needless to say.

Soon, the offensive of Shu Han's army began.

Zhang Bao's army was the first to attack.The moat of Liuyang City had already been conquered countless times by Zhang Bao, and of course it was still just a decoration this time.The wooden bridge across both sides of the moat was quickly built, allowing the Jiangzhou Army to pass through the moat several feet wide and directly attack Liuyang City.

At this time, the phalanx of archers in Zhang Bao's army was dispatched first.After they got close to the city wall, they immediately raised their bows and arrows, and fired towards the city. Behind them, the infantry team carried the ladder, pushed the Mengchong chariot, and the siege chariot, rushing forward.Behind these infantry teams, a large catapult was also pushed into its range by the soldiers, and began to prepare for launch.

It seems that this time Zhang Bao no longer hides and tucks in, and uses almost all types of siege equipment that can be used.

Lu Xun was on the top of the city, looking at the trebuchets lined up in the distance, he suddenly felt powerless.

He recently discovered through observation that the range and accuracy of the trebuchets in Zhang Bao's army are constantly changing, and they are still changing in a good direction. The accuracy is getting higher and the range is getting farther. The weight also increased.It can be seen that the Jiangzhou Army has been improving their siege equipment.

The siege vehicles manufactured by the Jiangzhou Army are extremely tall, even two feet high.After the Jiangzhou army pushed the siege to a certain distance, it stopped and aimed at Liu Yangcheng from a distance.

There was a loud whistling sound, and a polished boulder flew high from the Jiangzhou Army camp, drew a graceful arc in the air, and fell into Liuyang City.

There was a loud bang, and a burst of smoke and dust rose from behind the city wall. It was obvious that the boulder had hit the ground.Lu Xun was still nervous, but he also knew that this was actually just the enemy's shooting range.

Lu Xun knew that this was also a signal for the enemy to attack.He immediately sent an order to get the whole army ready to start fighting!
Moreover, Lu Xun really tried his best this time.In order to boost morale, he actually didn't go down from the top of the city, and wanted to personally command the battle to defend the city.

At the same time, the phalanx of the Jiangzhou Army infantry also moved after Zhang Bao's order.

The soldiers let out a loud cry like a landslide.

They quickly crossed the moat, and they took a ladder to the top of the city, and the soldiers swarmed up.

The distance test of the distant trebuchet has been completed.They also made a loud noise at the same time, and polished boulders weighing tens of kilograms passed over the heads of Jiangzhou soldiers and smashed hard on the city wall.

Although the Jiangzhou soldiers who were hiding behind the city wall were prepared, they still suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, among the Jiangdong Army, generals at all levels also ordered preparations for throwing stones.Countless rolling stones and trees fell, hitting the siege soldiers of the Jiangzhou Army.

Many Jiangzhou soldiers were unable to dodge in time, so they were inevitably thrown down from the ladder, and they were seriously injured immediately.

At this time, the phalanx of sword players behind also came up.They took the place of the vanguard that had suffered a lot of losses, and with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, they rushed forward with a loud cry.

The Jiangdong army in the city felt that at this time, because they were afraid of being hit by the trebuchet, they did not show up for the time being.This gave the archery team of the Jiangzhou Army the best chance to perform.The phalanx of archers then continued to press forward, forming a neat queue. Under the loud order of the general, they rained arrows on the city wall to cover the soldiers climbing the city.

With the help of siege equipment, the soldiers of Jiangzhou Army killed the city wall after paying a relatively small price.

Seeing the Jiangzhou soldiers climbing up the city wall and jumping off the battlements, Lu Xun couldn't help but change a little bit.He thought that today's battle should be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!

Lu Xun was rarely annoyed.He shouted angrily and gave the order to the reserve team under the city to prepare to attack.

After Xicheng started to attack, the other two sides also launched attacks at the same time.

In the small Liuyang City, the sound of slaughter was loud all of a sudden, arrows in the air, polished boulders came and went like locusts, and blood spattered.

In an instant, the ground above and below the city was stained red with blood.

Although Bu Zhi is a literati, he has actually participated in many wars.Otherwise, wouldn't the huge Jiaozhou righteous men under his command, which numbered 1 people, be eating dry food every day?What's more, this team of Jiaozhou righteous men was originally a team that was gradually recruited and rectified from the war.

However, Bu Zhi's face has never been so gloomy as it is now.

Deng Ai's army obtained a lot of siege equipment from Zhang Bao, and the soldiers worked hard, making the attack turbulent like a frenzy.

Bu Zhi has definitely never seen such a crazy attacking enemy army.His heart couldn't help trembling a little.At this moment, he even thought of abandoning the city and fleeing for his life.
