The Three Kingdoms are invincible

The night was fleeting, and after dawn, Sun Jianjun launched a new round of offensive against Xuchang City.

Just like yesterday, the attack on Cao Ren's east gate was still pitifully weak.

The west, south, and north gates were each attacked by about 2000 troops, while the troops responsible for attacking the east gate were only about [-].

"Leave only 1000 people at the east gate, and the rest will go to the other three gates for support." Seeing this, Cao Ren finally gave the order.

1000 people resisting 2000 people is not very difficult in the battle of defending the city. With Cao Ren's ability, he can definitely hold on.That being the case, then allocate troops to minimize the pressure on the other three sects.

"My lord, Cao Ren has dispatched troops. Do you think it's time for us to concentrate our forces and take Xuchang City in one fell swoop?" Under the east gate, Zhou Tai saw the crowded scene in the city from a distance, and knew that Cao Ren was already dispatching troops to other places. Sanmen, the opportunity to join the army has come.

The opportunity to make meritorious service is right in front of him, Zhou Tai is so ready to make a move right now!

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. Let's wait until these troops reach the other three sects." Sun Jian stroked his beard slightly and said very calmly.

Sun Jian himself appeared at the east gate, which no one in Xuchang city expected.Sun Jian's banner has been hanging outside the south gate, so everyone thinks that Sun Jian is sitting outside the south gate and commanding the battle. If they know that Sun Jian himself is actually leading the entire army outside the east gate at this time, I'm afraid they will realize it immediately. The weak offensive of the East Gate must be deceitful.

It's a pity that no one knew that Sun Jian had appeared at the east gate at this time.

Although Sun Jian was calm on the surface, he was very excited inside. If everything goes well, then Xuchang can be conquered today.

Thinking that the emperor in Xuchang City would soon be under his control, Sun Jian's breathing became a little rough and his face flushed a little.

Forced to calm himself down, Sun Jian looked up to the sky and exhaled.When exactly did his ambitions inflate so much?I think that when I defeated Dong Zhuo, I should lead the army to pursue Dong Zhuo together at the starry night at the appointment of Cao Cao. That means my loyalty to the Han Dynasty has not faded in the slightest.But only a few years have passed, and the expansion of this ambition is so fast that it seems that even I can't control it.

I don't know if the changes in Cao Cao's mind over the years are similar to his own.

Shaking his head to get these distracting thoughts out of his mind, Sun Jian looked in the direction of the city again.

It seems that most of the defenders of the east gate have reached the location of the other three gates, leaving only 1000 people left.

Great opportunity!If you don't attack the city at this time, when will you wait?

"Order the other three sects to gather half of their soldiers here quietly, and leave the other half to attack the city with all their strength. Make sure that the defenders on the city do not notice our army's movements." Seeing that the time had come, Sun Jian said to the people around him The orderly ordered.

Several messengers got the order and hurriedly rode their horses to the other three gates to convey Sun Jian's order to the generals who were in charge of attacking the other three gates.

After the other three generals received the order, they withdrew half of their troops and rushed to the east gate quietly.

Because they all followed Sun Jian's instructions, leaving the other half of the troops to attack the city desperately, the defenders who were busy defending the city did not notice Sun Jian's other actions for a while.

After all, even if only half of the soldiers and horses were left in each sect, there would still be 8000 troops, which is still much more than the [-] to [-] defenders in each sect.The [-] troops tried their best to attack the city, and the defenders on the city were also under a lot of pressure and had to deal with it with all their strength, so they had no time to pay attention to other redundant situations.

Soon, soldiers and horses who were originally located outside the other three gates arrived one after another. In addition to the original 2000 people outside the east gate, the number of people attacking the east gate has reached [-].

In contrast, the number of defenders at the East Gate was only one thousand.

At this time, Cao Ren was on the city wall, sweating all over the place.

The other defenders of the three gates didn't see Sun Jian's army retreating quietly, so would he not see the gathering of the opposing army?

Still got the trick, Cao Ren regretted it.

"Quickly, withdraw the troops transferred to the other three sects immediately! Wait, tell the guards of the other three sects to send more troops to help them quickly!" Cao Ren shouted to the sergeants beside him at the top of his lungs.

It's not enough to just withdraw the men who have been brought back. Looking at the posture of the enemy army, there are probably nearly 3 horses!

Is it too late to mobilize the soldiers now? Cao Ren is really anxious.One thousand against thirty thousand is tantamount to asking for the destruction of oneself.Faced with such an extremely dangerous situation, he had absolutely no power to recover.Could it be that Xuchang City is doomed to be difficult to defend today, and Cao Cao's foundation is doomed to be destroyed?

"Siege the city!" Outside the east gate, Sun Jian gave an order.

6000 people surged together, and countless Jiangdong soldiers raised the ladders high, preparing to launch round after round of fierce offensives.

"Everyone, get ready! Defend!" At this point, there is no other way to do it. Before the reinforcements from the other three sects arrive, all they can do is to defend to the death.

If you can't keep it, you will perish, there is no other way!

The remaining [-] guards at the east gate hurriedly searched for everything that could be used to help defend the city. If there were no bows and arrows, they would throw logs, and if there were no logs, they would throw stones. In short, they must do everything possible to prevent the enemy from entering the city.

Being able to shoot one to death is one, and being able to slow down the enemy's siege speed for a moment is a moment.

But the number of 1000 people is really too small. Even if 1000 people find a fist-sized stone and throw it down at the same time, if they are unlucky, they may not even be able to kill 100 people. Even if they are lucky, at most 300 people will be killed.Even if there were 300 casualties, it would be a drop in the bucket for Sun Jian's army.

A ladder was erected one after another, and soldiers climbed up one after another.

Although soldiers were hit by arrows from time to time, or fell down by wood and rocks, but they had too many soldiers attacking the city. Even if the defenders on the city had already tried their best to shoot arrows and throw things down, the enemy troops also It seems that there is no block in general.

Finally, a soldier of Sun Jian's army boarded the top of the city.

As soon as that soldier was quickly chopped down by the guards of Cao Jun on the city, but since there was a beginning, more and more people successfully climbed the city later.

Cao Ren's face was livid.

Is it all going to end after all?It seems that today is the time to die.

The enemy's siege speed was still too fast, and the reinforcements from the other three cities were too late to arrive.But this is not surprising, the number of defenders is only a tenth of that of the opponent, no matter how talented he is in military affairs, it is difficult to change anything.

If Xuchang is a real strong city, maybe I can hold on until the reinforcements from the other three sects arrive, but unfortunately, Xuchang is not considered a strong city.

It seems that the fall of the city is inevitable.

Cities were destroyed, people died, nothing could be more normal.Since he is a general, he must have the courage to endure such an ending.

"No, it's not time to give up yet. Even if the city gate is broken, there is still an urn inside. If you can hold the urn, you will still have a chance when the reinforcements arrive." Cao Ren thought about killing himself with a sword, but in the end he still wanted to Abandoning this idea, he silently encouraged himself, telling himself that he must cheer up at this time.

It wasn't that Cao Ren was afraid of death, it was just that he was really unwilling, and he didn't want to see Cao Cao's ten years of hard work destroyed in one day.

We must persevere, we must not give up Xuchang City just like this!

Although Xuchang City is not considered a strong city, it is still the capital of a country, and the Wengcheng is still being built.Moreover, the urn city of Xuchang City is different from the urn city of most other cities. Generally speaking, the urn city is built outside the city gate, while the urn city of Xuchang City is built inside the city gate, which is an inner city.

"All the defenders of the east gate retreat into the Wengcheng! Face the enemy in the Wengcheng!" Cao Ren lifted his spirits and shouted loudly.Cao Ren knew that at this moment, he must not appear discouraged, but must show a good spirit in front of the soldiers.At this time, the battle situation is extremely unfavorable. If the general's discouragement is seen by the soldiers, then there is no possibility of reversal in this battle, and it is definitely a complete defeat.

Now that the enemy army has rushed to the top of the city, with such a huge gap in numbers, fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy army on the top of the city is tantamount to death, and they will die very quickly.

However, if we retreated into the Wengcheng, the situation might improve a little bit. The Wengcheng is not that big, it is just a small semi-circular city, and after 1000 people entered, it already seemed relatively crowded.

Cao Ren just wanted to rely on the narrowness of the Wengcheng, so that the [-] defenders would have the capital to confront the opposing army for a while.

"Do you want to defend the Wengcheng to the death? Huh, it seems that the enemy's general is still determined." Sun Jian saw Cao's army on the top of the city quickly retreating to the rear, and immediately understood Cao Ren's intentions.

"Oh, I've heard for a long time that Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, with extraordinary military strategy, and seeing him today, it's just as expected." When Sun Jian felt disdainful for Cao Ren's impoverished beast, Zhou Yu sighed aside.

The fall of the city is a completely unavoidable situation. With such a huge gap in numbers, no matter who it is, it is estimated that it will be impossible to defend it.However, Cao Ren was able to make a decisive decision and lead everyone back to the Wengcheng without hesitation when the city fell. This kind of decision and insight is definitely beyond the possession of ordinary generals, and it is enough to make Zhou Yu sigh.

The Wengcheng is narrow and cannot accommodate many people, so the numerical advantage of his own army will inevitably be weakened, and Cao Jun can also have a chance to breathe.

"It's just that no matter how hard you struggle, the result is doomed to be unchangeable. Xuchang will definitely change hands today!" Although he lamented Cao Ren's ability, Zhou Yu never thought that the behavior of the enemy's besieged Wengcheng could change the current situation in the slightest.
