Wei Yan's face turned pale with shock. He didn't take it seriously because the opponent only had five nest carts approaching the city, but he never expected that the soldiers inside these five nest carts would be so fierce that they killed his soldiers repeatedly. After retreating, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the enemy.

"Press up! Annihilate them all..."

Wei Yan brandished a broadsword and committed suicide by himself. The broadsword slashed fiercely, and the heads of three Jiangdong soldiers were chopped off. Blood sprayed out and splashed all over Wei Yan. He shouted, "Kill!"

Swinging a knife into the enemy group, thousands of soldiers followed him and swarmed up, divided and surrounded, and pressed the two hundred fierce entrapment troops to their respective places where they entered the city, preventing them from converging into one.

The Jingzhou army on the top of the city also knew that once the Jiangdong army broke through the city, none of them would be able to survive, so the Jingzhou army also fought back desperately. Surrounded so densely that he couldn't get out for a while.

Fighting was still going on above and below the city, the ladder was overturned, the siege soldiers were shot and fell into the city, screams and roars came and went, and the Jiangdong army under the city was also shooting arrows like rain, and the defenders kept falling to the ground with arrows. The battle has entered a white-hot state.

But the five nest cars are the most threatening, they are like five convenient passages to the city, from which the Jiangdong army is on the top of the city. , smashing rocks, but to no avail.

As soon as the thrown long cable hook was hooked on the wooden post, it was immediately cut off by the Jiangdong soldiers on the platform with a knife.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and shouted to Wei Yan: "General Wei, Sima has an order, use kerosene! kerosene!"

Wei Yan suddenly realized that there was a lot of kerosene hidden in the coupon gate at the top of the city, and he immediately shouted: "Use kerosene to burn the nest car!"

Hundreds of soldiers rushed forward with clay pots containing kerosene in their arms, and threw the pots onto the five nest wagons. The pots shattered, and light yellow kerosene flowed all over the wagon. This is purified kerosene, which burns more violently. .

At this time, the rockets are fired, and the nest car is booming! The ground burned, the flames flew, and within a moment, the raging fire engulfed the five nest cars one after another. The soldiers in the nest cars screamed, and the soldiers on the platform had nowhere to escape. Most do not escape death.

Without backup support, the two hundred fierce troops that rushed to the city first also fought less and less, and finally they were all wiped out by the defenders.

Liu Jing did not direct the battle directly. This time, the north and south cities attacked at the same time. He also had to pay attention to the surprise attacks on the east and west walls. He needed to control the overall situation.

At this time, Liu Jing was standing on the viewing platform, watching the surrounding battles. Compared with the bloody battle in the northern city, the southern city was much better. A dozen nest vehicles were all destroyed by trebuchets and stone cannons halfway, and the siege soldiers could only rely on ladders He attacked with the siege ladder, but was firmly suppressed by Liao Hua's [-] defenders, causing heavy casualties.

Although Liao Hua's martial arts was not as good as Wei Yan's, he was better than Wei Yan in terms of city defense ability, and he had a lot of experience and lessons from the bloody battles in the past year.

Liu Jing saw that the fire oil had a miraculous effect, and the morale of the enemy troops was frustrated. He immediately ordered: "Order Wang Tai to support Beicheng!"

After a while, Wang Tai led a thousand fresh troops to attack Beicheng, bringing the defensive force of Beicheng to 4000. The Jingzhou army gradually gained the upper hand and controlled the situation.

In the distance, Sun Quan stared blankly at the wagon that had been destroyed by the fire. He once again experienced the power of kerosene. After a long time, Sun Quan sighed, "Send the order to withdraw the troops!"

'when!when!when! '

As the bell for the withdrawal of troops rang, the siege Jiangdong army retreated like a tide, leaving corpses, fragmented ladders and burning nest cars on the ground, and the first large-scale attack of the Jiangdong army was over.

There was a burst of cheers from the top of the city.

. . . . . . . . .

On the head of the northern city, the soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield. Arrows piled up like a mountain, the rolling logs and stones were cleaned up again, and the corpses were carried down one by one. Dozens of medical craftsmen were nervously treating the injured soldiers.

Liu Jing was also inspecting Beicheng, comforting the wounded soldiers from time to time. At this time, the morale was high and there was no need for him to continue encouraging.

At this time, Wei Yan walked over quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Jing to plead guilty, with a face full of shame, "Humble position and underestimation of the enemy, almost let the Jiangdong army break through the city."

Liu Jing helped him up and said with a smile: "This is a matter of experience. The Chief Wen has insufficient experience in defending the city. It is impossible to do it without any mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable. The chief Wen made up for the mistakes in time. This is the key. I believe it will not There will be another time."

Wei Yan smiled wryly, "There will be no next time!"

Liu Jing nodded, and said again: "Don't think too much, concentrate on preparing for the big battle. We are about to face a more intense and cruel siege, so we must be fully prepared."

"I understand." Wei Yan bowed and retreated.

At this time, Liu Jing glanced at Liu Hu who was standing aside again, seeing his anxious face, before he could speak, Liu Jing smiled and said, "You will have a chance to fight, don't worry."

"But you said the same thing last time!"

Liu Hu was like a child, and his voice was full of grievances. Liu Jing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and comforted him: "You heavy armored infantry are my killer weapons. If there is no crisis, how can I take them out easily? How can I not use you if I use soldiers for a while."

Only then did Liu Hu grin, scratching his head and saying, "I can go back and explain this, otherwise, those guys will beat me to death."

Liu Jing was angry and funny, and kicked him, "Get lost! Otherwise, I'll beat you to death as well."

Liu Hu laughed and rushed down the city. Watching his huge figure disappear, Liu Jing shook his head, and came to the city wall again, staring at the horrific wreckage of siege weapons and corpses all over the ground outside the city.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Jiangdong Army secretly appeared on the battlefield and carried some of the surviving wounded soldiers back to the camp. More than a hundred soldiers from Jingzhou also collected arrows and other weapons on the battlefield. The two sides did not interfere with each other and did not fight. It is a kind of tacit understanding in war. During the interval between wars, both sides are allowed to rescue wounded soldiers.

Of course, this is not absolute, not all the opposing sides will abide by this tacit agreement, but at least between the Chaisang defenders and the Jiangdong army, this kind of rule will be acquiesced.

Liu Jing looked at the Jiangdong Army camp in the distance.

The Jiangdong army camp is located in the northwest, where there are hundreds of mu of open land, which is where the Tao family's private wharf is located. Originally, there was a long and narrow forest separating the battlefield in the north of the city, but this long and narrow forest has been completely felled, leaving the camp Connect with the battlefield.

"How does Sima feel about the situation at General Huang's side?"

At some point, Xu Shu appeared next to Liu Jing, his eyes were worried, "To be honest, I'm worried about Xiazhi County."

Liu Jing glanced at him, and suddenly understood what he meant, "Is Yuan Zhi worried that the Jiangdong Army will also use kerosene?"

Xu Shu nodded, "Since they have seen through kerosene, they will also use such a sharp combustion-supporting weapon. I am worried that they will use catapults to throw kerosene on the top of the city, and burn the north city again, or burn the city gate with kerosene. It's a threat to us all."

Xu Shu's worry was not unreasonable, but Liu Jing believed that Huang Zhong would not disappoint him. He laughed, "Old General Huang ambushed the enemy with three thousand elite soldiers. I believe he will have good news."

. . . . . . . .

Inside the big tent, Sun Quan's face was livid, and he paced back and forth inside the big tent with his hands behind his back. At the door of the big tent, Han Dang knelt down and said nothing. Half of his arms were naked, and the arrow on his shoulder had been pulled out. , on the medicine bandage up.

Today's attack on Chaisang was not good, and I was already in a very depressed mood, but now I heard that Han Dang's army was defeated, and the five thousand troops were wiped out, so I couldn't help but burst into anger.

"How did I tell you to march cautiously, step by step, and make sure to take down two county towns? Did I let you win overnight? You are so anxious that it's no wonder that you didn't fall into the trap. Now you have ruined my big event. How do you explain to me?"

The more Sun Quan talked, the more angry he was. The big thing he was talking about was not occupying Yangxin County, but Xiazhi County. He planned to send people to get a large amount of paraffin oil to deal with Chaisang. Now that Han Dang was defeated, he wanted to get paraffin oil It was also shattered, how could he not be annoyed.

At this time, Zhou Yu came forward to persuade him: "Marquis Wu, General Han is not careless. We always thought that Liu Jing was not strong enough and would not leave many defenders in Yangxin County, but we did not expect that Huang Zhong had already led the army to arrive. Marquis Wu, this is actually a problem with our intelligence."

Although Zhou Yu was also extremely frustrated, Han Dang suffered a disastrous defeat, and none of the people who went to get fire oil from the pheasants came back, which meant that they could not use fire oil to counterattack Chaisang, and many of his plans could not be realized, which made him full of sense of failure.

But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, Wu Hou must be calmed down, and he must not be blinded by anger.

Zhou Yu's persuasion eased Sun Quan's anger a little. He glanced at Han Dang again, seeing that he was haggard and seriously injured, so he said bitterly, "Let's go down to heal the wound first! We will punish him after the injury is healed."

"Thank you Marquis Wu, thank you Zhou Hujun!"

Han Dang saluted and thanked him, got up and retreated, watching Han Dang go away, Sun Quan sighed and said: "Today's battle is unfavorable, with more than 8000 casualties, and Han Dang's five thousand troops were wiped out, especially Liu Jing used The fire attack will seriously affect the morale of the army, Gong Jin, what should we do next?"

Sensing that Sun Quan's confidence was shaken, Zhou Yu comforted him, "Marquis Wu is too concerned about the opponent's fire attack. In fact, I think that although Liu Jing has a relatively powerful fire attack weapon, it can't control the battle. The key is the arrival of Huang Zhong's reinforcements. Liu Jing was supplemented with troops.

The minister estimated that there should be six or seven thousand defenders in the city. We should change our siege strategy. I suggest that we abandon the north-south siege and concentrate our forces to attack the north city. "

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of running outside the tent, and a sergeant shouted loudly outside the tent, "Wu Hou, Jiangdong urgent letter!"

Sun Quan was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Bring the letter!"

An envoy hurried into the big tent and presented an urgent letter from Zhang Zhao to Sun Quan. Sun Quan opened the letter and read it, his face suddenly became heavy.

"Marquis Wu, what happened?" Zhou Yu asked anxiously from the side.

Sun Quan shook his head and said worriedly: "A letter from the military adviser said that the Shanyue people took advantage of the emptiness of Wu's troops to rebel and captured the county. The military adviser wanted us to withdraw immediately."

Zhou Yu didn't persuade anymore. At this time, Sun Quan needed to make a decision. Sun Quan walked to the door of the big tent with his hands behind his back and stared at Chaisang City for a long time. , pass on my order, concentrate your forces to attack Beicheng, and take Chaisang for me within two days!"
