The last three kingdoms

Chapter 242 The Battle of Fu City ([-])

The siege battle had become intense from the very beginning. Zhong Hui almost didn't make any tentative attacks, and directly invested in the heavy army, launching a fierce offensive against Fucheng.

Because Zhonghui couldn't wait, he didn't have time to play the siege battle slowly, he had to fight quickly, lest things would change if he was late.Now that Chengdu, the capital of Shu, has not yet been taken, Jiang Wei's main force has left Langzhong. Although it has deviated from the main battlefield, it is still a force that cannot be ignored. the way.

The siege battle is the most difficult of all battles, but Zhong Hui is not too worried. After all, Wei and Wu are fighting away in Yizhou, and they have no popular support. Susceptible to the hatred of the Shu people, Lu Kang wanted to defend Fucheng, and the only thing he could count on was the troops he brought. He definitely could not count on the strength of the Shu people in the city.

Moreover, Zhong Hui has more troops than the Wu army. Before Zhong Hui conquered Shu, he had 12 troops. After annexing Zhuge Xu's army, his troops expanded to 15. This time he marched into Fucheng. The 2-man Ma Jiange stayed behind 1 horses, and the number of casualties was thrown away. Zhong Hui also had 11 troops in his hands, twice as many as Lu Kang's 6-[-] troops. Zhong Hui was still full of confidence when he captured Fucheng .

From the beginning of the attack, Zhong Hui adopted a continuous attack method. Although the troops invested at one time were not too many, after each wave of attack, no matter how many casualties there were, they would retreat, and the next wave of troops would come. Attack, Zhong Hui's attack echelon even reached as many as ten waves.

Zhong Hui wanted to use this kind of high-intensity attack in turn to disintegrate the will of the Wu army defending the city. During the continuous attack, he constantly put pressure on the Wu army. high spirited state.The siege battle is a tough battle. As the commander, Zhong Hui is naturally prepared to fight a tough and protracted battle.And taking turns fighting can make the most of the number advantage of Wei soldiers. If the battle continues, the Wu army defending the city will naturally be exhausted, which can win more opportunities for Wei army.

Lu Kang also really felt the pressure. The Wei army was like the tide of the Yangtze River, running endlessly, repelling a wave of Wei army's attack, and the next wave of Wei army rushed forward fiercely. The momentum of the attack was overwhelming. Not only did it not decline gradually, but it became more and more courageous as it fought, and its momentum became more and more fierce.

The entire city was almost caught in a rain of arrows and a sea of ​​fire. Wu Jun used all available weapons, bows and arrows, rolling logs, stones, boiling water, kerosene, and even stones, bricks and tiles. Throwing it down without hesitation, countless ladders were burned in the flames, and countless Wei soldiers wailed and struggled in the sea of ​​flames.

War is always the cruelest. Life is so fragile on the battlefield. The entire city of Fucheng is filled with the corpses of Wei soldiers and Wu soldiers. The number of people killed and injured in the city of Wei Guo was naturally more than that of Wu Jun.

But Wei Bing turned a blind eye to Pao Ze's death, and waves of stronger attacks followed one after another. Under the cover of bows and crossbows, they used all available siege resources, such as ladders, prongs and arrows, and ropes. Being able to set foot on the top of the city, he will do everything he can, and everyone is afraid of death, regardless of his own body.

Hu Lie personally supervised the battle outside the city wall. Although ordinary bows and arrows could not hurt him, the powerful catapults and bed crossbows could easily blow him into powder. The Chinese army wanted to persuade him It retreated to a safe zone, but Hu Lie remained motionless.Although the catapults and bed crossbows are amazingly destructive, their accuracy and accuracy are not flattering, and they can only make up for the gap in accuracy with a large amount of diffusion.

Hu Lie didn't believe that his fate would be exhausted. Those bed crossbows and catapults came here to find his own bad luck. Standing in the front line could better boost morale. If it wasn't for Zhong Youling, Hu Lie Lie may even personally participate in the siege operations.

The fighting continued like this, the two sides fought from the first rising of the red sun to the sunset of the western mountains, and there were many corpses in Fucheng.

Zhong Hui was impressed by the will of Wu Bing. Zhong Hui participated in the Battle of Shouchun, and the performance of Wu Bing in that battle can be described as bad. Dan also died, and Wu Bing cost the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in vain.But now that times have changed, the Wu people's team, under Lu Kang's training, has shown a very high fighting spirit, which is indeed commendable.

Zhong Hui didn't expect to win Xiafu City in one day. This battle, in the end, must be a competition of will and perseverance, to see who can't resist first, and who will collapse first.Seeing the red sun sinking to the west, Zhong Hui ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops and prepare to fight again in the future.

The Wei army retreated like the ebbing tide, and Lu Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief on the top of the city. The battle on the first day was so fierce, and it was obvious that the next battle would be extremely difficult.

But Lu Kang didn't mean to back down at all. Fucheng was already in Wu's pocket, so how could he allow others to get his hands on it? Lu Kang really didn't have the habit of spitting out the food he ate. We must also fight for every inch of land, and fight for each other.

The most important thing is that Fucheng is still related to the gains and losses of Chengdu. If Fucheng can be defended, there will be a chance to block the Wei soldiers and calmly eat the remaining forces of the Shu Han. Once Fucheng falls, Wu will lose the opportunity to compete for Chengdu. , this kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others, Lu Kang is not in the mood to do it.

What's more, Fucheng is the terminal station of the Wu army's water transportation. All food, grass and luggage must be transported to Fucheng first, and then transferred to other places by land. Such a transportation center must not be allowed to break, otherwise, the [-] troops will be trapped without food The realm, if you can't think about it, you won't be able to finish it.

Looking at the back of Wei Jun going away, Lu Kang was already thinking about the next day's battle situation.

"Reporting to the governor, there is a person in the city who claims to be an envoy sent by Zhong Hui. He has a letter to present to the governor." The Chinese Army reported.

Lu Kang was a little surprised, both sides have reached this point, Zhong Hui wrote a letter at this time, what purpose does it have?Lu Kang was curious and said, "Bring it up!"

Wei Guolai's envoy quickly came to Lu Kang, bowed deeply, handed Zhong Hui's letter, and said: "The governor of my family asked General Lu to read it."

Lu Kang received the letter in his hand, opened it and regarded it.
