Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 284 278. Scoring twice
"You guys, go carry these people away. Where's the doctor? Let the doctor treat them right away! Go fill in the gap!"

Wei Wen anxiously commanded his soldiers on the city wall to fill the gaps in the defense line and transport the wounded. The fragmentation thinking of later generations was also fatal to this era. Hundreds of wounded soldiers fell to the ground and wailed against the city wall, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Wu army.

It is impossible for the Wu army to ignore it completely. Going up and giving them a finishing blow is just a thought. If they really do that, I am afraid the morale of the Wu army will be broken.

Wei Wen could only ask the soldiers to carry the wounded soldiers down quickly and hand them over to the doctors. Whether they could survive depended on their luck.

The future fragmentation theory is aimed at this effect. As we all know, it is very easy to kill a person, but once he dies, he is dead, and the other side will only lose one person.

However, he suffered a non-fatal injury, so someone needed to treat him. People had to be assigned to take care of him on the battlefield, and all kinds of resources had to be taken up. This way, one person would distract the attention of several or even more than a dozen people.

If you save them, you will be dragged down. If you don’t save them, it will definitely affect morale, so most people can only hold their noses and save them.

Now Wu Jun was in the same situation, and even worse. Some explosive packs fell into the previous sea of ​​fire and exploded directly, blowing away a large area of ​​bricks and stones, causing secondary damage. The originally beautiful walls of Jianye City were instantly unrecognizable after a round of "bombing".

The originally neat parapet became full of holes and gaps, and two large gaps were blown out on the wall.

Fortunately, the defense of Jianye City did not collapse directly. Although the city wall suffered considerable damage, the city gate was still intact.

"It's a magic trick, it's the magic trick of the Han army, it's a heavenly thunder!"

Some of the frightened Wu soldiers were already kneeling on the ground and bowing to the Han army below. Wei Wen was so angry that he killed two or three of these superstitious soldiers.

"Don't be afraid! This is not some magic, it's just a weapon thrown by the Han army. Don't panic!"

Wei Wen shouted to boost the morale of the Wu army. Although many people were skeptical about Wei Wen's words, they still mustered up the courage to grip their weapons again.

However, the Han army would not give them this opportunity. The moment the gunpowder bags were thrown, the Han army started to charge with ladders. When the Eastern Wu defenders were blown up and crying for their parents, the Han army's ladders were placed on the edge of the city wall. When Wei Wen began to encourage the army's morale, the Han army was almost on the wall.

The defensive measures on the city wall had suffered a lot of damage due to the explosion just now. At least things like hot water had been blown away to unknown places or shattered, while some of the fallen rocks were still intact.

However, the Wu soldiers on the city wall had missed the best opportunity to counterattack after a period of chaos. When they reacted now, the Han army's vanguard warriors were already staring at them.

As a last resort, the Wu army could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Han army. However, how could these Wu soldiers be a match for the Han army in land combat? Soon, holes were torn in the city wall, and the Han soldiers continued to surge onto the wall, expanding the positions they had seized.

"drink!"

Seeing this, Wei Wen did not dare to be negligent. He led the Wu soldiers to fight bravely, vowing to drive the Han army out.

Although the Han soldiers were brave, they were still far inferior to generals like Wei Wen. For a time, the Han army was really retreating step by step, and many Han soldiers were forced to retreat down the ladders and return to the city.

The Han army's infantry had already begun to attack the city, and long-range firepower naturally could no longer hit the city walls. Therefore, without the leadership of a general, the Han army's attack this time would end in vain.

But even so, the Han army still left hundreds of Wu soldiers dead on the city walls, while the Han army only had dozens of bodies. "General, let me lead my brothers to charge again!"

Bao Feng volunteered to speak up. He saw the situation on the city wall and saw that the Han army was pushed back by the general on the opposite side because they had no leading general, so he could only worry anxiously below.

"Yes. But don't worry, just suppress it with firepower. After this wave of attacks, the enemy must have sent more reinforcements to the city wall."

Feng Xi nodded. He didn't want to drag it out for a few more days. It would be best if he could do it all at once. However, this did not prevent Feng Xi from planning to "bomb" the city wall once more.

The Han soldiers retreated like a tide, which made the Wu soldiers feel relieved, and many of them even cheered quietly. Although the Wu army still suffered several times more losses than the Han army, at least on the surface, the Wu army repelled the Han army, which was enough to make them happy.

But before these soldiers could get excited, the sound of breaking through the air was heard again. It was the familiar kerosene can that whistled towards the top of the city.

Because of the hand-to-hand combat with the Han army just now, many Wu soldiers were crowded together. Now they were in trouble. The explosion of the kerosene tank could burn more than a dozen Wu soldiers at once. The relaxation in the air instantly turned into wailing and the smell of carbonization.

As expected, the second wave of gunpowder bags followed this wave of kerosene cans. This was because Feng Xi did not have enough gunpowder at the moment, otherwise he would have blown up Jianye long ago.

As for why they didn't blow up the city gates? Because it's easy to deal with a small city, but a huge city like Jianye has a city wall. Even if the first city gate is blown up, the city wall will still have to go through a brutal battle. It's better to clean up the city wall.

"The general is in danger! Boom!"

A pack of explosives fell around Wei Wen, and the guards nearby reacted quickly, immediately rushing towards Wei Wen and protecting him. The guards trembled twice, then coughed up blood, and the blood sprayed all over Wei Wen's face.

"Xiaoer! How are you, Xiaoer!"

Wei Wen didn't have time to care about the blood on his face, but gently shook the soldier. This man had been with him for nearly ten years, and they had a deep relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have risked his life to pounce on Wei Wen.

"Ahem... General... I'm fine..."

The soldier coughed a few times, but blood flowed out as he coughed. Wei Wen quickly sat up, turned the soldier over, and saw his back was horrifically injured by shrapnel.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Come and rescue them!"

Wei Wen hurriedly shouted loudly, but this time because there were too many soldiers concentrated on the city wall, there were more injured than the previous wave, and the wailing had long drowned out Wei Wen's voice.

To make matters worse, the Han army that had just been repelled immediately made a comeback.

"Brothers, follow me!"

And this time, the leader was a big man who looked like a black iron tower, holding a mountain-splitting ring-handled broadsword in his hand. Next to him was a sturdy man with the same dark complexion, holding a wolf-tooth stick. The two of them led the Han army like arrows and rushed up the city wall of Jianye.
