The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266

"Boom, boom, another sixty or seventy wooden donkey carts and toad carts rushed out of the tight wall of Yuan Jun's cavalry formation. These two types of chariots are used to dig soil and fill trenches. Build a groove, several feet wide, which can hide the commitment of nearly [-] engineering soldiers. Each of these engineering soldiers carries a shovel.

Seeing such a big battle of Yuan Bing.Zhuge Liang decisively ordered Huo Ge and Xue Ti to command [-] troops each out of the city and attack the east and west lanes.To prevent Yuan Bing from filling the trenches, as long as the triple trenches can be kept, they can gain a few more days to come out.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Yuan Jun sounded the horn.The eight thousand crossbowmen hidden behind the arrow guard gathered together like a tide and rushed towards the laneway of the first ditch.Yuan Bing, who was covered in sand and mud on the roadway, immediately fired with a continuous crossbow.Yuan Jun immediately lay down.This 'Profit and Loss Crossbow' is too powerful, let alone ten arrows.These ten arrows are not from one angle and one direction, and they shot and killed at least seven or eight Yuan soldiers at a time.It can pass through the body when shot, and its strength is unparalleled.I'm afraid only the shuttle ballista can match it.The number of Jiangling soldiers hiding behind the bag of sand and mud seems to have increased tenfold.In addition, the [-] crossbowmen standing on the two archery towers on the first trench also began to pluck the bowstrings of the profit-loss crossbow.

"Bang bang bang bang" blood rained every now and then, and corpses were strewn all over the ground.Yuan Bing, who was made of flesh and blood, almost completely lost his vigor before this new weapon, retreating like an ebb tide. "Brothers, I can't resist retreating." Wen Chou and Yu Jin stepped forward to supervise the battle and shouted loudly: "Whoever takes a step back will die." For comrades in blood holes, they are too fragile.Still keep losing.Wen Chou held a crossbow and a long spear on his back, and personally organized the charge. The crossbow seemed to have eyes, and he shot and killed five Jiangling soldiers hiding behind sand and mud bags.Jiangling soldiers didn't dare to raise their heads for a moment.The Yuan Bing who were so frightened just remembered at this time, shit, I also have a bow and arrow in my hand, I'm afraid you will throw a ball.They pulled out their bowstrings one after another, and started to shoot at Jiangling soldiers.

The Jiangling soldiers behind the sand and mud bag began to suffer casualties, and from time to time some people were pierced through the forehead by feather arrows.But Yuan Bing suffered a lot after all. The continuous crossbows covering the air knocked Yuan Bing down one by one. hedgehog.The most terrible thing is the soldiers on the two watchtowers.Yuan Bing's bow and crossbow could not touch them.But their continuous crossbows were condescending, forming bursts of artificial rainfall. In this case, although the arrows shot by the two sides covered the sky and the sun, Yuan Bing was losing money and wasting bows and arrows.The white carved feathers on the wooden pillars below the archery tower have been fully inserted, but there is no arrow that can threaten the soldiers upstairs.

"Hao Zhao, let me destroy those two archery towers." I shouted hoarsely.

Hao Zhao was holding back his anger because of last night's setback.After receiving the order, he immediately executed it, and mobilized six catapult machines and eight flying shuttle ballistas to fight out in two ways.

From time to time, some of the soldiers pushing the chariot were shot and fell in the middle of the road. Hao Zhao issued a death order and kept increasing his troops, no matter how heavy the price was, he must advance within the shooting range.After losing the reunion of more than a hundred artillerymen, the stone machine and the shuttle ballista all raised their heavy heads.Hao Zhaofa said ruthlessly: "Let it go—" the red flag was unfurled, and fourteen chariots were launched at the same time.The huge boulder boomed, and the flying crossbow pierced through the air, directly attacking the archery tower. The soldiers on the tower were too dense, and more than half of them were killed or injured.After a round of attacks, the crossbow arrows from above were obviously in decline.However, Zhuge Liang built a strong fortification under the archery tower in advance, hiding more than a hundred soldiers below it as a reserve team.As soon as the crossbowman above died, the below immediately climbed up to replenish.Hao Zhao's artillery stones fired continuously, but they couldn't do anything. "Shoot, shoot me the crossbar of the archery tower, and smash the archery tower down. Let it go." In desperation, Hao Zhao changed his strategy. "Turn up ten stone launchers and smash the archery tower."

Another ten catapult machines pressed up, and the huge boulder weighing fifty catties rained down on the crossbar under the arrow tower.The sound of clicking can be heard endlessly.Suddenly, the archery tower on the east side couldn't withstand the pressure first, and collapsed. The hundreds of soldiers on the upper floor were all smashed to pieces and their brains burst.Immediately following the second archery tower, it was also destroyed by the blow of the giant crossbow and flying stones. The entire roof was overturned, and the soldiers on the upper floor lost their barriers and were all crushed to death.

The watchtower was destroyed, the pressure below lightened, and Yuan Bing, who was superior in numbers, finally walked with difficulty, stepping on the corpses of his comrades, and attacked in front of the sand and mud bag.The Jiangling soldiers could no longer hide and shoot arrows, they all took up their swords and guns, rushed out like red-eyed beasts, and threw themselves on Yuan Bing, fighting hand-to-hand.The sharp long knife slashed off, and the entire upper body, together with the two severed arms, flew into the air.Hu Che'er's eyes were covered with blood from the corpse.Immediately, two Jiangling soldiers came up next to him, wanting to take advantage of it.The big knife can be seen left and right.Hu Che'er touched his eyes with his left hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.Two sparks were suddenly cut out on both sides of the armor.Blood followed.Fortunately, it was only a skin injury.Hu Che'er was furious, screaming strangely, cut off a head with a saber with his left hand, turned around quickly, and split the man in half with the big saber from top to bottom, from forehead to belly button.The Jiangling soldiers who were ambushing behind the bag of sand and mud saw that he was such a beast.He was so frightened that he was trembling all over, and he didn't know who dared to fight there, his teeth were chattering because he couldn't stand it, and he roared wildly: "The murderer is coming--" turned and ran away.

The trench-filling fortification soldiers in the wooden donkey cart were already in place, and began to fill the trench with a shovel.Facilitate the passage of large troops.

The city gate suddenly opened, Huo Ge and Xue Ti's soldiers split into two groups, and the cavalry rushed out, trying to disperse Yuan's soldiers who had entered the first trench.Facing the sudden blow, Yuan Bing couldn't cope with it and crowded each other. Many people fell into the trenches and were pierced to death by sharp bamboos.

"Wang Ping, Zhu Ling." The two of you command [-] black dragon riders each, and you will divide into two ways to meet the enemy. "

Wang Ping and Zhu Ling tensed their muscles and waited.The ass never left the saddle.Hearing this, he quickly turned to the battle, and under the command of the red flag, the Black Dragon Rider behind him bravely rushed out, split into two paths like a fan, and charged towards the alleyway.Like four separate trains, Yuan and Liu cavalry collided together.An elite Black Dragon Knight, with a white light shining around his waist, and his saber unsheathed.One after another, the heads fell to the ground before they could bleed.Huo Ge's Qingqiang Unstoppable Flying Army is not a good stubble either.Although the Qiang people are not as good as the Huns and Wuhuan people in riding and shooting.But one thing is great.That is endurance resilience.They are not afraid of death.I like fighting with people the most.Even if there is only one soldier left, they will not retreat. In the two-hour battle, there are countless casualties, and they are still as fierce as a tiger.To eliminate such a team, the price to pay will be very heavy.I don't want to part with the Black Dragon Rider, fighting to the death.Just want to Mingjin.Zhuge Liang's battle flag gave Huo Ge the first order to retreat.Damn, I can't bear it, and Zhuge Liang can't bear it even more.The White Yak Army is finished, and now he is completely relying on this Qingqiang Unblocked Flying Army to make ends meet!Wang Ping and Zhu Ling were overjoyed when the Unstoppable Flying Army withdrew.The army occupied the first trench.Violently rushed to the second layer.I didn't even have time to organize it, so the Black Dragonriders suffered a great loss.On the arrow tower, flying arrows rained down, and the string-controlling warriors rushing in front fell off their horses one after another and died unexpectedly.The dead horses piled up like a mountain, blocking the cavalry behind.

"Quickly, recall the Black Dragon Riders and issue an order."

In Yuan Jun's formation, the war drums were rumbling and the red flags were flying, and the order was issued for the cavalry to retreat.Wang Ping and Zhu Ling, having experienced the power of the 'Profit and Loss Liannu', did not dare to move forward and quickly retreated.

"Tell Wen Chou and Yu Jin to suspend their attack, build fortifications on the spot, and keep the first trench." I ordered, and the messenger flew out like a horse.

Wen Chou and Yu Jin were also blood-stained robes.They are all calm warriors, knowing that the soldiers are exhausted, and the forceful attack is not worth the loss.Immediately ordered to stop crossing the trench, build sand and mud fortifications, and defend in situ.

The fortification soldiers had already filled up a twenty-foot trench, and Yuan Jun's brigade quickly moved forward.It is now westward.Jiangling soldiers also lost over ten thousand.Zhuge Liang called gold at the top of the city.Yuan Bing doesn't care about such a war of attrition, but Zhuge Liang can't afford it.He withdrew his troops, and I couldn't fight any more. Yuan Bing's losses were too huge, as many as 2 people were killed or injured.The first batch of crossbowmen who attacked were almost wiped out.The engineering soldiers are almost dead.

"We can't fight like this tomorrow, the casualties are too heavy." I circled back and forth in the tent.like a donkey grinding a mill.

"Zhuge Liang is relying on the Liannu and the archery tower. He has a plan, which is enough to break it." "Sir, tell me, what is the plan?"

Tian Feng said: "I need to borrow it. General Hao Zhao's wooden blunderbuss, together with the unique special forces in the hands of the king, can destroy all Zhuge Liang's arrow towers in one fell swoop tomorrow."

Pang De and Chen Dao, who were mainly attacking the east gate, and Zhao Yun and Zang Ba, who were mainly attacking the west gate, also encountered the same problem. Liannu combined with the archery tower could kill people, and it was a terrible headache.When Tian Feng said this, it was right for everyone's appetite.All the generals asked, "What should I do?"

Tian Feng said: "Tomorrow, the main infantry will continue to attack non-stop, consuming Liu Bei's vital strength. At this time, the king can send special forces to climb the archery tower, hold wooden guns, and give him a flower in the air. The smoke inside the wooden guns will fly horizontally. , the arrow tower will be destroyed immediately."

"Okay, just as Mr. said."

"Attack." The next day, the red sun rose and the war resumed.

Wen Chou and Yu Jin were still the first to attack.The wooden donkey cart behind them carried the fortification soldiers to fill the trench.The crossbow arrows from the archery tower and behind the sand and mud bag are denser and stronger than yesterday. It seems that Zhuge Liang has sent more people.

Pei Bao and two special forces were sandwiched between the infantry camp and rushed towards the dense rain of arrows.Keep shooting the arrows in your hand.Every time an arrow is shot, someone must fall down and die unexpectedly.No matter how tricky the angle is, this arrow will definitely hit the fatal spot.The criss-crossing crossbows are like a child's play in the eyes of the three of them. The three of them are rolling, jumping, and dodging.It can easily save a few lives.Shoot arrows while running, shoot arrows while jumping, and shoot arrows while rolling.In the chaotic confrontation, the three of them crawled under the archery tower.

Wen Chou rolled on the ground and shot an arrow, which hit the neck of a Jiangling soldier whose head was sticking out.The soldier fell down with his eyes wide open.Wen Chou squinted to see Pei Baojie climbing up the watchtower like an ape.Not only Wen Chou found out, but also the reserve soldiers hiding under the watchtower.Although they don't have combat missions, it's impossible to allow someone to climb up the archery tower under their noses. That would be an idiot.

The unnamed soldier who rushed out first was shot through the chest in an instant.Following two ghostly shadows, in a flash, two more people were stabbed between the ribs and into the ventricle with a short-bladed dagger.He fell down without a sound.Under the cover of two comrades-in-arms, Pei Bao quickly climbed up the archery tower, took out the wooden gun he was carrying in his arms, and smashed it down desperately. "Boom, boom" there was a burst of thunder.All of a sudden, smoke dust flew horizontally, sparks flew everywhere, and the iron edges and corners of the wooden blunderbuss shot from all sides.The wooden watchtower caught fire.

Pei Bao's body was slippery, soft like a spirit snake, and slid down the wooden pillar.A knife pierced the back neck of a Jiangling soldier under his feet.Shouted loudly: "Yuan Jun must win, Jin Wang must win, brothers kill—"

The other archery towers were also destroyed like this.My heart agitated as I watched from behind.Command loudly: "Quick, cavalry, send [-] cavalry in each lane, press me up. Capture the second trench."

This day's battle went relatively smoothly, Zhuge Liang seemed to be at the end of his wits and didn't use any fatal killers.But I always feel that things are not that simple.Zhuge Liang is very forbearing, if he doesn't make a move, if he makes a move, he will definitely kill someone.

The trenches have been firmly controlled, and all that remains is to break through the moat and put the ladder on the top of the city.I know it's not easy.

Jia Xu did some calculations after the war, and Liu Bei's total strength at this time was [-] to [-].Maicheng lost [-] in the first battle.After two consecutive days of siege battles, another [-] people were lost.There are nearly [-] people guarding Hulukou and Huarong Road.There are at most [-] to [-] troops in the city.And there are many disabilities.It is impossible for this kind of troops to defend the isolated city and win.

Pei Bao came to see Jia Xu in a panic: "Sir, there is a secret report. The agents of Jiangling City discovered that Liu Bei transferred [-] soldiers to the banks of the Yangtze River. There are quite a few warships there. I don't know what the purpose is? Do you want to report it?" Your Majesty."

Jia Xu flicked five fingers on the low table a few times, and stood upright: "Liu Bei is about to abandon the city, follow me to see the king."

Jia Xu entered the account, saw me thinking deeply and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei will be defeated."

"How come?" I suddenly raised my head.

Pei Bao reported the information just now.

I was surprised and said: "In this way, the defenders in Jiangling City are only [-]. Tomorrow's battle will be a triumphant song."

Jia Xu said: "Zhuge Liang's desperate resistance these days is because he expects our army to have no food and hopes that our army will mutiny. As long as our army spreads the news of transporting food by water, Zhuge Liang will not only withdraw the Hulugu and Huarongdao troops, but also , will abandon the city and leave.”

I said harshly: "Don't wait for him to abandon the city and flee, this man is too cunning, I want to kill him all. Tomorrow's battle, there will be no end to death."
