Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 296 The founders of the Three Kingdoms are alive
The siege battles in ancient times have always been very tragic.

Especially when facing a fortified city like Shouchun, which is tall, deep, and well-defended, it is not a problem to besiege the city for a year or two.

However, the coalition forces did not hesitate at all, and took the initiative to attack as soon as they came up.

The morale of the coalition forces was high, and it only took half a day in the morning to fill in several passages on the moat. The next thing to overcome was the biggest difficulty of the city wall.

Facing the three-sided siege of the coalition forces, the first thing Yuan Jun should do is to destroy the enemy's ladders and reduce the number of enemies climbing the city walls.

However, the strong generals of the allied forces who acted as the first to attack the city were very powerful, and the Yuan family soldiers were powerless to resist, so they let them take the lead in attacking the city.

However, it is not a big problem for one or two strong generals to come up. As long as the generals on the city wall are blocked and they are not allowed to widen the gap, they will be driven down sooner or later.

Anyway, they can't let them stand firm, otherwise the siege soldiers behind him will continue to come up to the city wall.

Zhang Fei and Sun Ce are fine, while Han Xian and Qiao Rui can command and deal with them freely.

But Ji Ling's side was facing Cao Jun's powerful general, which made Ji Ling feel a little scared.

Thinking about the Lu Yan I met before, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others under him did not appear on the stage. The Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Le Jin sent by Cao Cao alone scared Ji Ling into a cold sweat, "Cao Cao There are so many fierce generals under his command!"

If it hadn't been foresaw that Cao Jun would have many strong generals, and had already prepared two thousand heavy crossbowmen, maybe this time the three of them would really have stood their ground.

Looking at the extremely bloody fighting scene around those three people, maybe three bloodthirsty monsters were sent up?

But no matter how fierce the general is, he is still a mortal body after all.

Facing the volley of [-] crossbowmen, even the innate Lu Yan and Lu Bu dare not challenge them, let alone Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Le Jin, who are only first-class and first-class fighters.

"Crossbowmen ready!!"

With Ji Ling's order, the two thousand heavy crossbowmen were divided into three parts, and they all aimed their crossbow arrows at the three generals Cao.

Fortunately, the three of Dian Wei and the others reacted quickly. Before the enemy's crossbowmen shot their arrows, they all jumped out of the city wall cleverly, and slid down the ladder to the foot of the city.

But the heavy crossbowmen didn't intend to just let them go, they chased after the wall, raised their crossbow arrows and fired randomly at the bottom.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Le Jin escaped desperately.

But there were a few crossbow arrows stuck in their backs, arms, and thighs, but judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to care much.

Not only Cao Jun's side, but Sun Ce and Zhang Fei were quickly smashed down the city wall by Yuan Jun's soldiers with large shields.

After there were no spoilers on the city wall, Yuan Jun's soldiers could calmly deal with those Cao Jun who were trying to climb the ladder.

The coalition soldiers under the city wall gathered more and more, and the ladders were continuously built on the city wall.

General Yuan Jun saw the opportunity and finally ordered the boiling oil to be poured from the top of the city.

The boiling oil can not only burn the skin of coalition soldiers to pieces, but the most important thing is that it can catch fire!
After the foot of the city wall was almost covered with boiling oil, one after another torches were thrown from the city wall by Yuan Jun's soldiers.

When the torch touched the boiling oil at the foot of the city wall, there was a loud "boom!", and the fire swallowed everything at the foot of the wall in an instant!
The fire swallowed all the places where people could stand under the city in the blink of an eye. Not only were all the siege equipment such as the ladders of the coalition army burned, but also a large number of coalition soldiers who had no time to retreat were also swallowed by the fire.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Amidst the painful wailing of the soldiers, the sound of withdrawing troops finally came.

Those coalition soldiers who were lucky enough not to rush under the city wall immediately began to retreat in a hurry, leaving only piles of violently burning corpses at the foot of the city wall.

The battle was really fierce. In less than two hours, the coalition lost another tens of thousands of people.

According to this rate of loss, if the fight continues like this, it is estimated that the coalition forces themselves will collapse in a few days.

Looking at the blazing fire under Shouchun City, and the long-lasting fire, all the soldiers of the coalition army who have not yet left the battle are already pale.

Have they ever encountered such a bloody and tragic battle before?
Many of Liu Bei's soldiers were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak. One small school even ran up to Liu Bei, crying with snot and tears.

He bluntly said that if this battle continues, the last 1 of them will all die!

Even Liu Bei, who was extremely firm at the beginning, couldn't help but start to waver at this moment.

Yuan Jun and his own casualties were about one to three. If the fight continues like this, he, Liu Bei, may really become a polished commander again.

Not only Liu Bei, but Sun Ce also had a lot of doubts.

In view of the doubts about the direct siege strategy, the two of them went to Cao Ying unanimously, trying to discuss a better method with Cao Cao.

The fire may not stop for a while, not only the coalition forces cannot go up, but Yuan Jun also cannot get out.

But this also just gave both parties time to rest and adjust.

Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, and Guan Yu came together in a hurry. Cao Cao did not neglect them. He came to the camp in person and welcomed them into his Chinese army tent.

Lu Yan stood first on Cao Cao's right hand. His official position was Hussar General and he was not awarded the duty of military adviser, so he stood in the rank of generals.

Ever since Guan Yu entered the big tent, he felt a mountain-like pressure hit him.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Tai Shici have already made Guan Yu's scalp tingle, not to mention that at the top of the team, there is a man who looks weak on the outside, but is actually one of the strongest in the world. Lu Yan.

Sun Ce was proud of his bravery, but when he saw Cao Cao's commanding general standing in the street, he was shocked beyond words, "Could it be that I have stayed in Jiangdong for too long, and the world has changed? When will these first-class and super-class masters It's starting to flood like this?"

It was the first time Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's body tense and his face pale. He also felt deeply afraid of the strength of General Cao Jun.

"It's too strong, Cao Cao's strength is simply unfathomable!" Guan Yu squinted his eyes halfway, and followed Liu Bei closely.

"It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general, and there are so many strong generals under Cao Ying?" Sun Ce's face was solemn, he really didn't expect Cao Cao to be so powerful.

Compared to Guan Yu and Sun Ce's nervousness, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

They all knew in their hearts that even if Cao Cao had intentions against them, he would not choose to act at such a moment.

If Cao Cao really did this, I am afraid that he will never find allies in the future, and he will even become a loner, and maybe he will be attacked jointly by all the princes.

"Liu Bei, I have met the Taiwei!"

"The last general, Sun Ce, met the Taiwei!"

Liu Bei and Sun Ce were the first to salute.

Guan Yu and Zhou Yu lined up behind Liu Bei and Sun Ce. They just clasped their fists in salute and did not say their names.

Although he didn't hear the name, Lu Yan was sure that the handsome guy behind Sun Ce should be Zhou Yu.

"Mei Zhoulang! Tsk tsk. Sure enough, his reputation is well-deserved. In terms of appearance and temperament alone, he is probably only a little worse than me, Lu." Lu Yan secretly said shamelessly in his heart.

Lu Yan's eyes only paused on Zhou Yu for a moment, and then he looked at Sun Ce and Liu Bei again, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind: "The founders of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are gathered together at this moment. So, does that mean there won’t be a Three Kingdoms that lasted for 60 years?”
