Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276 The Battle of Jianning ([-])

The front of Jianning City.
The two armies also officially began fighting.

Countless arrows flew back and forth in the air, and the arrows fired by the two armies all went towards the opposing camp, each causing casualties.

Tens of thousands of barbarians rushed under the city wall and built the siege ladder.

The barbarians who came under the city wall also brandished their weapons, screamed and climbed up the ladder, and quickly went to the top of the city wall. If they took down the city wall, they would win.

"Throw down stones, smash and knock down all the ladders!" Liu Cong shouted.

Today, he is also walking back and forth on the city wall, giving various orders. After all, most of the army are newcomers, and this is the first time they have encountered such a scene. He needs his guidance to stabilize the morale of the army.

As for Jiang Wan, he also arranged for two generals to guard him. Jiang Wan was a counselor. Although he could lift a sword, his force value was not high.

Jiang Wan also walked back and forth on the city wall with two generals, helping Liu Cong to command the battle and resist the barbarian army attacking the city.

There are Liu Cong and Jiang Wan, plus some veterans in the army.

Some impromptu recruits were also much more stable, and they fought back one after another in accordance with the order.

Some held spears in their hands, and put them against the ladders built on the edge of the city wall, and pushed them out forcefully, trying to overturn the ladders and prevent the barbarians from using the ladders to climb the city; The stone, smashed down hard.

The archers on the city wall also walked to the side of the city wall one after another and shot their arrows under the city wall.

a time.

On the city wall, arrows and stones rained like rain.

Under the city wall, the barbarian army who wanted to climb the city to fight was miserable.

The ladder that was pushed away from the edge of the city wall, because there was no fulcrum, brought a group of barbarian soldiers who had already climbed the ladder and fell back, bringing up a pile of dust.

The soldiers of the barbarian army who had no time to dodge were hit. Those who were lucky were slightly injured. Those who were unlucky were hit by someone falling from mid-air, and died directly, being crushed to death by their own people.

The arrows shot down from the city wall, as well as the stones thrown down, also took lives away.

It also blocked the offensive of the barbarian army.

Of course, that was just a slight relief.

The soldiers of the barbarian army were still not afraid of death and rushed forward, and put the fallen ladder back to the edge of the city wall, and climbed up the ladder, intending to climb the city wall and seize the city wall.

One side attacks the city and the other side defends the city.

The soldiers of the two armies are working hard for their own goals.

The battle immediately became stalemate. For a while, the barbarian army could not take down the city wall, but they would not retreat either.

Every minute and every second, life is slowly disappearing.

500 meters away.

Tens of thousands of troops watched the battle on the edge of the city wall from a distance, as if everything had nothing to do with them, as if they were watching a show.

The center of the barbarian camp.

Meng Huo, the barbarian king, was also among them. The person in charge of sending troops to the state this time was also the controller of the Nanman.

Meng Huo frowned, watching the battle by the city wall. The reason why he sent his troops to the state this time was because of the letter sent by Zhang Su to help Yizhou ease Liu Qi's attack, and he also had a strong interest in the Central Plains. A certain amount of thought.

Another reason is that Jiaozhou belongs to Liu Qi. If Liu Qi gets Yizhou again, then his Nanman land will be surrounded by Liu Qi's territory. Even if he doesn't do anything to Liu Qi, sooner or later, Liu Qi will do something to him.

In this way, there is no hesitation in agreeing to Zhang Su, and he can get some compensation, and he can also step into the Central Plains, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it!
Along the way, the wind went smoothly, and there were three people, Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding, who heard the news and surrendered the land of two counties, which made him feel even more that it was the right thing to send troops to Jiaozhou.

Originally, I had already found out that there were not many troops that Jiaozhou could mobilize. I thought that with an army of [-], I would soon be able to take over the entire land of Jiaozhou, but I didn't expect that I would encounter obstacles in Jianning. In the face of his [-] troops, neither surrendered nor fled, and launched a resistance.

Although it can be seen that there are not many defenders on the city wall, relying on the city wall, it can still stop the attack of the army, preventing him from taking Jianning quickly.

"Who is the defender of the city?" Meng Huo, the barbarian king, looked at Yong Kai and asked.

Yong Kai, who was imagining Jiang Wan and Liu Cong being hacked to death by the barbarian army, came to his senses when he heard Meng Huo's questioning, and said respectfully, "My lord, the prefect of Jianning is Jiang Wan. As for the city lord Who it will be, the subordinates don't know, but a young general who has never seen it before!"

heard.

Meng Huo's eyes narrowed, and he waved, "Ah Hui Nan!"

This time, there are three marshals following him. The first marshal is Jinhuan Sanjie, the second is Dong Dana, and the third is Ahuinan.

"Here!" A rough general stood up, it was Ah Huinan, one of the Marshals of the Three Caves.

"Lead [-] soldiers and take the city quickly!" Meng Huo ordered.

Seeing that the barbarian army fighting ahead had failed to break through the city wall, he didn't want to waste too much time in Jianning, so he sent an additional [-] soldiers, led by A Huinan, to attack the city.

"promise!"

Ah Hui didn't say much, turned around and left on horseback, led [-] soldiers and horses to leave the barbarian camp, and headed for the city, ready to join the siege team.

above the city wall.

Liu Cong and Jiang Wan were leading the soldiers to resist the barbarian army that had come under the city wall to attack the city. Suddenly they saw the barbarian army camp 500 meters away, and another team broke away and rushed towards the city.

The faces of the two were also a little bitter.

Facing the tens of thousands of barbarians here, they had no strength left to deal with them. Now that the barbarians have invested another army, it is obvious that they want to fight to decide the outcome.

"General!" Jiang Wan looked at Liu Cong.

Liu Cong held a saber that was still dripping blood, his eyes were fixed, and he said: "There is only a fight to the death!"

The tone was very serious.

Jiang Wan froze for a moment, and a firm look flashed in his eyes.

"Gongyan, you go over there to command, even if you die, you will never let the enemy step on the wall!" Liu Cong looked at Jiang Wan and said.

"promise!"

As soon as Jiang Wan cupped his hands, he walked to the other side with the two generals who were protecting him.

Liu Cong didn't say much either, the current battle situation is beyond his control, he can only persevere, as long as he can persist, no matter how long.

There are no other reinforcements in Jiaozhou, and they can only rely on themselves.

The two stood on the side alone, commanding the soldiers on the city wall to prevent the barbarian army from climbing the city wall. As long as the barbarian army could not climb the city wall for a while, they could guard for a longer period of time.

The recruits among the defenders of the city are now showing blood. In this battlefield where lives are dying every second, if the two armies fight hard, if they don't work hard and are not cruel, they may be the next to die. .

Only by repelling the enemy can there be a chance of survival. In this way, their potential will be stimulated, and they will desperately prevent the barbarians from climbing the city wall.

As long as a barbarian climbs up the ladder, he will step into the city wall, and the only thing that will meet that barbarian is a few cold sharp knives.
