Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 182 The Battle of Shouchun

Zhao Yun and other generals commanded the Jingzhou army under the city, climbed the ladder, and captured Shouchun City.

However, although there are few defenders on the city wall, it is not easy to capture Shouchun City in a short time.

Tai Shici and Gan Ning looked at each other and nodded at the same time, as if they had reached some consensus.

The two of them got off their horses.

Tai Shici stuck the spear in his hand on the ground, walked up to a shield soldier who was lying on the ground, picked up a shield, drew out the saber from his waist, and walked towards the ladder.

Gan Ning did the same, drew out his saber, picked up a shield, and walked towards a ladder.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Liao Hua, and Wei Yan saw the actions of Gan Ning and Tai Shici, and understood that they wanted to climb the ladder to attack the city, so they did not stop them, and continued to command the troops under their command Horse, climb the ladder.

rear.

Seeing the actions of Gan Ning and Tai Shici, Liu Qi knew what they were going to do, his eyes fixed, and he shouted: "Beat the drums, cheer!"

Boom, boom, boom.
The soldiers standing in front of the drum did not hesitate, and vigorously waved the wooden stick in their hands, beating the drum, making the drum make a loud sound.

One stick after another, as if trying to beat the war drum through.

The sound of the war drums was also very rhythmic, like the horns of a charge, the sound waves spread out to the surroundings one after another, reaching the ears of the Jingzhou army.

Beat the drums and attack.

The sound of war drums was like a stimulant, arousing the spirit of killing in the hearts of the Jingzhou army.

Amidst the sound of war drums, the Jingzhou army that was besieging the city also became more imposing, screaming and climbing up the ladder.

At this time.

Both Tai Shici and Gan Ning came to the two adjacent ladders.

The two looked at each other and nodded, without any bold words, they directly stepped on the ladder and climbed up.

The two generals took the lead, which further aroused the morale of the Jingzhou army officers and men, and made the Jingzhou army officers and men climb up the ladder more fearlessly, as if they would tear it off even if they were in the sky, and let it be their feet. soil of.

"Hold on, hold on!" the city guard shouted.

He is also very anxious now, and was almost broken through by the Jingzhou army on the city wall several times. If the Jingzhou army can gain a firm foothold on the city wall, there will be no more surprises in this battle.

The defenders also know this truth, and are doing their best to prevent the Jingzhou army from entering the city.

The two armies fought.

Countless soldiers fell from the city wall, some from the defenders and some from the Jingzhou army. Blood also flowed on the bluestone of the city wall, and flowed down the city wall along the bluestone.

Tai Shici and Gan Ning, holding the shield in one hand, climbed the ladder with the other, climbing up quickly step by step, approaching the city wall quickly.

With arrows shot down, the two of them raised their shields, blocked the falling arrows, and continued to climb.

Slowly, the two got closer and closer to the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall, and some defenders held spears in their hands, inserted between the ladder and the city wall, and pried it out forcefully, trying to push the ladder to the ground.

It so happened that on the ladder Gan Ning was climbing, a defender inserted a spear between the ladder and the city wall, and was about to pry it out.

bang~~
Gan Ning, who had already climbed up, of course would not let the defenders wish. The shields held on the left and right were directly pressed against the barrels of the spears, making it impossible for the defenders to use their strength.

puff~~
Pressing down on the spear, Gan Ning didn't stop there, stepped on the ladder, the knife in his right hand stabbed into the defender's chest, and then pulled out.

A stream of hot blood sprayed down from the city wall and sprinkled on Gan Ning's face.

Gan Ning didn't care, he held the knife with his right hand, touched the blood on his face, and continued to ascend the city, stepping on the body of the defender who was stabbed to death by him, and stepped on the city wall.

Tai Shici on the other side also rushed up the city wall.

The two looked at each other, then jumped from the edge of the city wall into the passageway of the city wall, and swung their knives to kill the defenders who rushed up.

Tai Shici and Gan Ning rushed up to the city wall, and also maintained the two ladders behind them, hacking and killing the defenders rushing up, buying time for the Jingzhou army behind them to climb up.

With the cover of two people, one after another, the Jingzhou army climbed up the city wall from the ladder and joined the battle.

After breaking through one place, there were also breakthroughs in other places. More and more Jingzhou troops climbed up the city wall and pushed the defenders out of the city wall, so that the defenders could not continue to stop their Jingzhou troops from climbing the city.

"Kill, block it for me!" the city guard shouted.

Since Tai Shici and Gan Ning climbed the city wall, the outcome of the battle had already been decided. He also knew that they were generals under Liu Qi's command, so he just directed the army to charge up.

He himself brought more than a hundred people and wanted to leave the city wall and flee back to the palace. After all, nothing could be done. The Jingzhou army climbed the city wall, and the destruction of Shouchun City was already a foregone conclusion.

"Go there!"

A loud shout came.

I saw that Tai Shici charged forward with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. He had already noticed the side general. Continue to ascend the city.

Now that the city walls are all under the control of the Jingzhou army, more and more soldiers of the defenders have fallen under the Jingzhou army's butcher knife, so there is no need to continue to stop in front of the city wall.

Seeing that the defender of the city wanted to leave, he rushed up single-handedly.

Seeing the ferocity on Tai Shici's face, the defender of the city was startled. The city wall had already been breached, and he didn't have any fighting spirit in his heart. He said in panic, "Stop him, stop him for me!"

While commanding the soldiers, he ran towards the corridor of the city wall, trying to escape down the city wall and back to the palace.

With the shout of the city defender.

Dozens of defenders also surrounded Tai Shici.

Tai Shici looked at the dozens of defenders who surrounded him, without any fear, he threw the shield in his left hand forward.

Knock down a few defenders, then hold the long spear stabbed by a defender, swing the knife in his right hand, hack him to death, grab the spear in his hand, hold it up high, and throw it forward forcefully.

whistling~~
The defender of the city heard the wind behind him, so he turned his head and looked back.

He saw a sharp spear point appearing in his eyes.

puff~~
The spear thrown forcefully by Tai Shici pierced through the body of the city defender, dragged the city defender a few meters away, and nailed the city defender beside the corridor of the city wall.

cuckoo
Shoucheng opened his mouth, a stream of blood flowed out of his mouth, then he lowered his head, closed his eyes, let his hands hang there limply, and died.

With the breakthrough of the city wall, the defenders couldn't resist the Jingzhou army at all, and were slowly pushed back to the corridor.

However, the defenders nailed the spear thrown by Tai Shici to death beside the corridor, which also made them lose their fighting spirit, and turned their heads and fled down the city wall one after another.

The city wall also officially fell into the hands of the Jingzhou army.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Zhao Yun and others under the city wall did not let the Jingzhou army who stayed under the city wall continue to climb the ladder, but waited in front of the city gate, waiting for the gate to open before attacking the city.
