Three Kingdoms

The sun had just shown its face in the morning, and Jiang Dongbing pushed the newly built siege equipment to the bottom of the city wall and to the edge of the trench.

Under the city wall, everything was basically burned to darkness.

Jiangdong's previous two batches of siege vehicles were burned. But now a new batch of siege equipment has arrived, and most of the trenches have been filled with sand, stones and debris. The Jiangdong soldiers behind can even easily set up siege equipment in the trenches. to the edge, and then pushed to the bottom of the city wall.

While waiting for the attack not far from the wall, two shield carts with wooden roofs were pushed slowly to the city gate, and then a spear pole with a rope hook stretched out from the shield cart. He reached out and dragged the corpses that were in the way, moving them away so as not to block the attack route.

Gan Ning on the city wall frowned and looked at it, very unhappy, and even wanted to throw two cans of kerosene down, but Zhuge Liang had no choice but to give orders. From today on, there will be "no" kerosene...

"come! Gan Ning became more and more angry as he watched, "Find a stone and smash it for me!" 』

Although the target of the shield car is not small, and it is not as flexible as a human being, and can avoid stones, but it was not accurate when thrown from the top of the city. In the end, several pieces were thrown and one was knocked down. The other car saw the situation was bad and ran away.

Huang Gai watched silently, observed, and thought.

"The first thing to do when attacking a city is to cut off its will..." Huang Gai said slowly, as if he was telling himself to confirm his own judgment, "Looking at it now, the will to defend the city is strong, and we can't." Shake...someone! Prepare to call the ship to catapult and the ballista! 』

The sieges in the game, with the banging of catapults and the rushing of chariots, are really not enough for the soldiers to swarm up and attack with swords and guns to take down the city. However, in fact, siege warfare is a very long process.

So Mahou speeds up the process, otherwise...

There was probably another group of guys shouting about this water and that water.

Huang Gai finally used the catapult and ballista on the ship. After spending the past two days with crude tools, he concluded that the equipment in the city had also been damaged accordingly. If he continued to use it and forced it, there would be no equipment left to use in Zigui City.

Catapults, catapults, and crossbows, these silly, big, black and thick guys, are not actually peerless technologies. Although in terms of accuracy, durability, and related assembly convenience, Kodong's equipment may not be able to keep up with the level of the hussars, but it is not Said it couldn't be used. Huang Gai didn't have any use for these before. On the one hand, it was due to the height difference in the terrain, and on the other hand, the accuracy was too poor, so he didn't dare to fight against the positions in the mountains.

And now...

On the other hand, after Chen Wu has fallen out with Huang Gai, he is no longer in the same boat with Huang Gai... well, in the same boat.

"Zigui!" It must be fought down! 』

Chen Wu said in a deep voice, "This is the disadvantage of Jiangdong!" We have the convenience of water transportation, but we are also subject to its restrictions! If you don't conquer Zigui, you will be threatened all the time, and you won't be able to avoid it even if you walk around! Only by capturing Zigui can we continue to advance. Whoever captures Zigui first will make great contributions to Jiangdong! 』

Compared to Huang Gai, who was relatively obscure, Chen Wu was very straightforward in front of his men. After all, if you go around in circles, it will be more troublesome for rangers like them to not understand.

Someone stood beside the boat, pointed at the battlefield and shouted, "Look!" Governor Huang used catapults and ballistae! 』

Chen Wu heard the sound, stood up, walked over, looked over, and sneered: "I'm only using it now. Is it really... that he is cautious?" Or is he scared out of his wits? Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"

People around Chen Wu also laughed at him.

"Is there any new news from Kodong?" Chen Wu waved his hand and ignored the commotion of the battlefield. Instead, he walked back to the cabin to discuss with his confidants.

Chen Wu's confidant nodded and said, "An urgent military report came this morning, saying that General Zhu has contacted the Ba people and is instigating the Ba people to march into Sichuan and Shu. He will take action soon... In addition, it is said that Cao Jun went north. , said he wanted to fight Wuhuan..."

"Wuhuan?" ” Chen Wu was stunned.

"Yes, it is said that Prime Minister Cao personally dispatched, marched north to Wuhuan, killed more than a thousand Wuhuan bandits, and captured cattle and sheep without any calculation... These are all rumors from Jiangbei, are they specific... General, this Cao army went north, is it? Aren't we the only ones left to fight against the Hussars now? Can you still win the battle? ” Chen Wu’s confidant asked with some anxiety.

Chen Wu frowned.

Everyone looked at Chen Wu.

Hussar's subordinates pay great attention to military merit and merits on the battlefield are valued. Is this not the case in other places? Of course, this is also the tradition of the feudal dynasty during times of war, but once it enters a period of peace, warriors become vulgar, just like being happy when they see the toilet when they need to urinate, and pinching their noses after urinating, which is disgusting.

"If that's really the case..." Chen Wu frowned and said, "That's really difficult. After all, it's hard to support a tree alone... No, we can't wait here anymore!" Zigui must be captured as soon as possible! And it's best if we take it down! 』

"Well? General...Didn't you say this before..." Chen Wu's confidants couldn't understand.

Chen Wu said: "This is not to say that we are showing weakness now, but if Cao Jun is really just going north and not cooperating with us, then the march into Sichuan and Shu may be suspended at any time... If it really comes to that time , we didn’t accomplish anything, we just ran away like this... You think, eh? 』

The confidants around Chen Wu immediately understood.

"General, it seems that the Sichuan and Shu soldiers are quite well prepared. They have been attacking for several days but have not been able to get in... If we carry out a strong attack, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties..." Chen Wu's confidant said.

Chen Wu nodded, thinking, and then clapped his hands, "Yes!" Let's dig a tunnel! 』

"typical? ’ asked the confidant.

"That's right, just use the shield car to cover it and dig in from the trench of the city wall!" First dig a trench to protect against infantry, then build a parapet, and then dig in behind the parapet! ” Chen Wu laughed, as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.

"ah? From over the trench? ” Chen Wu’s confidants were stunned, and then looked at each other with the others, “General, in this case, aren’t we digging in front of the city? Didn’t everyone standing on the city see it? Then the Sichuan and Shu soldiers can easily determine the location, fill them with smoke or water, or even dig tunnels..."

Chen Wu laughed, "I just want them to see it!" 』

Chen Wu glanced at everyone again before he leisurely solved the mystery, "Do you really want to dig the tunnel until the Year of the Horse and Monkey?" ! No one can shout...can't wait? So we have to make it look as good as possible! The people in Zigui City don’t dare to let us dig tunnels so close! If we can't attack for a while, we have to lure them out! Only then will we have a chance! Moreover, Old Man Huang can’t steal this credit from us! 』

……(^.^)YYa!!……

The smoke on the battlefield slowly dispersed in the wind.

Under the head of Zigui City, there were layers of corpses, and the smell of blood filled the world.

Neither Huang Gai nor Chen Wu cared much about such huge damage.

Because the core of the soldiers in Jiangdong are the general's private soldiers, just like the direct troops in the hands of Huang Gai and the Lujiang Shangjia in the hands of Chen Wu. As for the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, the number of casualties does not really matter. Because many of the dead and wounded Jiangdong soldiers were Shankoshi.

Zigui City itself is also in dilapidated condition. The city walls are covered with black stains from the flames. The large and small potholes caused by stone bullets, the damaged battlements, and the crooked and collapsed gate tower are undoubtedly on display. Just a little bit, work harder, work harder, and you can win...

Huang Gai stood on the high platform and looked up.

Chen Wu was leading people closer to the city with a very clear purpose, which was to get there first.

Huang Gai looked at Chen Wu's army with a solemn expression, and there were countless thoughts flashing in his eyes. Chen Wu seemed to have noticed Huang Gai's gaze, so he looked back. It seemed that his eyes crossed with Huang Gai's in the air.

After a large number of exchanges of catapults and ballistae, only a few catapults of Jiangdong soldiers survived, and they were smashing the Zigui city wall one after another.

The defenders of Zigui should basically withdraw. Because the soldiers he sent out to encircle the rear should have arrived by now.

Huang Gai judged, so he did not compete with Chen Wu to ascend first, but prepared to intercept and kill the retreating soldiers from Zigui.

Although the Zigui city wall has been repaired to some extent, it is not a majestic city after all. It has been maintained for such a long time. It can be said that the Sichuan-Shu Army is well prepared. For the Sichuan-Shu Army, there is no need for them to occupy a city like Zigui that they do not occupy. Fighting in a city with special advantages...

After all, the road to Sichuan is still long, and the Sichuan-Shu army only needs to drag it slowly, and then form a decisive blow on Yufu's side. So is it necessary for the Sichuan-Shu Army to fight until they run out of ammunition and food in Zigui?

Obviously not necessary.

Chen Wu came to ask for orders, and Huang Gai didn't make things difficult for him. Although Huang Gai did not like Chen Wu, considering the overall situation of Jiangdong, there was no need for him to deliberately stumble, and that was pretty much it.

After all, this battle is going to take a long time, and the journey is also very long.

After being burned once, Huang Gai also restrained his previous arrogance and began to show the sophistication of a Jiangdong veteran.

Amid the sound of war drums, a new round of attacks began again.

Soon, Jiang Dongbing began to dig soil under the shield car, and the excavated soil piled up on both sides of the shield car. While strengthening the shield car, it also connected the shield car to form an earth wall.

The Sichuan and Shu soldiers on the city wall kept poking their heads and observing the movements of Jiangdong Army.

The catapults and crossbows of both sides were damaged. Generally speaking, Jiangdong suffered more damage. This is just because Huang Gai had built many more crude siege equipment before. So in fact, in terms of the consumption endurance of both sides, It seems that Jiangdong Army has the upper hand.

Now Jiangdong Army's catapults have gradually advanced to the bottom of the city and began to bombard the Zigui city wall.

The relatively accurate crossbows of both sides have basically been exchanged.

The stone bullets roared through the air, and then hit the city wall, or crossed the city wall and landed in the city.

Jiangdong's soldiers seemed to be digging very quickly. The dust in the shield workshop was flying and the mound was quickly piled up. Jiangdong's catapults also continued to bombard the city wall. As a result, the Zigui defenders seemed to have to retreat further and further away.

Chen Wu and his men were waiting far away from the shield chariot when they suddenly heard some noise. He turned around and saw some figures moving on the wall on the west side of Zigui, apparently trying to contain Jiangdong's army from the flanks. However, Huang Gai's sentry discovered him early. Before he could leave the city gate, he was hit by a hail of arrows, and he was immediately stuck near the city gate.

"Their morale is low..." Chen Wu looked at it, snorted, and then said, "It's no wonder, after all, this catapult is smashing... If you are really brave, maybe you can really involve some soldiers here... No!" This is an attack from the east and an attack from the west! Let your men prepare, the ones inside may burst out! 』

Chen Wu expected it to be true. When there was such a big battle at the west gate, there was a sudden riot in Chen Wu's direction. Many defenders were thrown out from the city wall. Arrows rained down, and they were instantly attacked. Jiang Dongbing, who was near the city gate, shot and killed one by surprise. Immediately, the city gate opened with a bang, and Gan Ning rushed out with his men.

Huang Gai's archers were covering the west city gate. They were unable to turn around for a while. Gan Ning and others rushed out and dispersed the Jiangdong soldiers behind the shield chariot in the trench.

Chen Wu immediately ordered Lujiang Shangjia to step forward to attack.

Among Jiangdong soldiers, there are not many who are good at fighting on land, and Lujiang Shangjia may be one of them.

Of course, there are very few people in Jiangdong who are good at cavalry combat. The main reason is that there are few war horses in Jiangdong. It is not enough to provide high-ranking officials and senior generals. How come there is still an extra number to form cavalry? Therefore, many Jiangdong people have never ridden a horse in their lives, and at most they ride a donkey.

Perhaps due to the instinctive attraction between rangers, Gan Ning set his sights on Chen Wu, and Chen Wu also set his sights on Gan Ning. What was even more interesting was that the soldiers of both sides fought on the outside in unison, leaving an open space in the center for both sides. duel between generals.

This may be a rather peculiar situation that only occurs among ranger generals.

Blood stained land.

Charred remains.

Amidst the constant shouts of killing, roars, exclamations and screams from the surroundings, the weapons intersected and sparks flew everywhere.

Life and death are in the next moment!

Perhaps this kind of separation of flesh and blood at the next moment, stepping on life and death, is what the ranger likes the most, the most intense stimulation.

Don't worry about life, don't be afraid of death.

Put all your spirit and all your strength into the fight in front of you.

"clang! 』

There was a loud bang.

Gan Ning and Chen Wu finally collided with each other during the continuous transformation and testing. Their swords crossed each other, sparks flew everywhere, and even the swords in their hands seemed to make an overwhelming hissing sound, which pierced the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers. Uncomfortable.

"A certain person is Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba!" 』

Gan Ning grinned, then bumped Chen Wu away, and the two regained a certain distance.

Chen Wu also smiled, "Chen Wu and Chen Zilie!" 』

"You're good!" Gan Ning shook the thick-backed sword, and the golden ring on the back of the sword clanked.

Chen Wu also snorted, "You're not bad either!" 』

As they spoke, as if they had made an appointment, the two of them pounced on each other again almost at the same time!

Although the two people's swords flashed and they made many moves to confuse each other, in the end the two people's swords collided together again, making a louder sound than the last time, and both sides were shocked. Their bodies were unstable, so they retreated again.

Chen Wu glanced at his sword slightly and his eyebrows jumped. There was a hole in the sword. He looked up at Gan Ning and saw that Gan Ning also seemed to be checking the sword, but it seemed that the damage was not serious...

Dry!

Chen Wu looked at Gan Ning's smile and felt that he was smiling evilly.

That's right, Gan Ning did it on purpose.

Gan Ning liked to use his big dick to touch other people's dicks.

After all, Gan Ning's guy is thicker, bolder and longer...

Chen Wu narrowed his eyes, breathed evenly, and slightly stretched out the sword in his hand, gathering momentum to take action.

If you don't want to continue to win with force, then you must naturally defeat Gan Ning with skill. Therefore, the most important thing is to make good use of your opponent's heavier weapons and lower attack frequency, control the distance of the attack, and not pursue a one-hit kill. , but changed it to cut into pieces.

Gan Ning also noticed that Chen Wu had changed his fighting strategy. He clicked his tongue, held the knife in both hands and stood in front of him.

Just as the momentum of both sides was rising and they were getting ready to attack, they suddenly heard the sound of gold ringing above the Zigui city!

Gan Ning snorted and took a step back, "I'll spare your life today!" ” After saying this, without waiting for Chen Wu’s reply, he called on the soldiers to retreat.

Chen Wu glanced at the figure shaking on the broken wall of Zigui, and wanted to chase him, but he was obviously in danger of being shot by the archers on the top of the Zigui city. It was somewhat worthless, so he put away his sword. , did not pursue, laughed loudly and said, "It's just a lost dog, you have defeated the general!" How dare you speak so brazenly! If you have the guts, don’t run away! Fight San Lily with your Grandpa Chen! 』

Gan Ning didn't reply and went straight into the city. He found Zhuge Liang with some anger or resentment.

"Engagement, why is it called gold?" ! Wait a moment, and someone will behead the enemy general! 』

"That's almost enough," Zhuge Liang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Starting from today, we will gradually reduce the number of defensive troops... Xingba, we have to prepare to withdraw..."

"Aha?" Gan Ning's eyes widened, "Withdraw...withdraw?" ! Why? ! 』

I am Gan·Aotian·Xingba·Ning, and there has never been a withdrawal in the dictionary...

Well, there are still some.

But after losing last time, Gan Ning was full of desire to win back. Originally, I heard Zhuge Liang say that the good show was coming later, but he just couldn't bear to fight with Fa Ping. As a result, he finally went out to fight once and was recalled by Ming Jin. He felt some resentment in his heart, and his eyes suddenly widened, "Why should we withdraw?" ? ! Zhuge is engaged! 』

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If we don't withdraw, will we just waste it here with Jiangdong soldiers?" Doesn't that just fall into Jiangdong's calculation? 』

"What calculation?" ” Gan Ning was a little confused.

Zhuge Liang raised his head slightly and looked at the mountains and forests to the north of Zigui, "General Gan, don't you think that the people of Jiangdong are really that stupid and only know how to fight us head-on under the city?" 』

"ah? ” Gan Ning was stunned for a moment.
