Wei Wuhou

Chapter 806 Zheng Chang's Order

The Wei army flocked to Qufu in large numbers, while the Qi army on the city wall was ready to fight.

The siege engine covered the soldiers in the rear and was slowly pushed towards the city wall, while the Qi army greeted them with kerosene.

Wei Jun’s siege vehicle looked like a tower, and its height was about the same as the city wall of Qufu. As long as it was pushed to the edge of the city wall, the soldiers hidden in the top of the tower could put down the springboard and directly step on the city wall to fight with the Qi army.

Although the siege vehicles were made of wood, it was difficult for the Wei army to catch fire because of the fire prevention treatment.

Therefore, when the Wei army's siege vehicles entered the range of the Qi army from 100 meters away and approached the city wall of Qufu, only one of the five siege vehicles caught fire and was scrapped.

After the other four came to the city wall, the soldiers of the Wei army in heavy armor put down the heavy springboard, and the soldiers of the Qi army waiting to come back could already be seen outside the tower.

It was also at the moment when the springboard was lowered that the soldiers of the Wei army in the siege vehicle lost their cover, and soldiers were shot and killed one after another.

During this process, the soldiers of the Wei army began to charge. Those who could be the first wave of pioneers were the most bloodthirsty people in the Wei army, so they were fearless.

The soldiers of the Wei army behind the siege vehicle also entered the siege vehicle at this stall and climbed up the ladder inside. They were the second wave to go up the city wall.

At this time, although the soldiers of the Wei army a hundred meters away were preparing, some of them were still carrying ladders.

As long as a gap is opened in the city wall, it's time for them to attack.

The fighting on the city wall was very fierce. Although the Wei army was brave, the Qi army was not afraid. They had no way out and only wanted to kill the enemy.

"Brothers, kill!" At this time, Zhou Can, who was behind, shouted at the soldiers.

Although he was prepared for the war, Zhou Can was still surprised to see the bravery of the soldiers of the Wei army.

Zhou Can rose up during the war between Qi State and Wu State. Originally, he thought that Wu Jun was strong enough. Even if Wei Jun was stronger, it was very reluctant!

But seeing these soldiers of the Wei army now, Zhou Can is really convinced that the Wei army is worthy of being the number one army in the world.

At this moment, Zhou Can couldn't help thinking, this is just an ordinary Wei army, if it is replaced by the mighty Wei soldiers and the powerful cavalry that rose from Wei Houzhan, how sharp and powerful it would be!
Zhou Can was thinking about this, and at this time the battle on the city wall was intensified. Hundreds of soldiers of the Wei army rushed to the top of the city, and the Qi army could kill one place on the city wall less than [-] meters away.

In siege operations, the defender has the upper hand, but when the enemy breaks through the city wall, it is difficult to reflect the defender's advantage.

In a small environment, it was difficult for the Qi army's superiority in strength to be deployed, so hundreds of Wei army soldiers stood firm on the city wall.

In the rear, seeing that the situation on the city wall had been opened, the generals in the rear immediately ordered more troops.

Ever since, another team of nearly a thousand people rushed forward, and a ladder was also sent forward.

At this time, the crossbowmen of the Qi army on the city wall were not polite, and they shot fiercely at the side of the Wei army.

During this charge, more than a hundred soldiers of the Wei army came to the house, which can be seen from the intensity of the battle.

After approaching the city wall, the Qi army's shooting still did not stop, but at this time the Wei army soldiers set up the ladders and put the shields on their heads, and the casualties dropped immediately.

The soldiers of the Wei army climbed to the city wall, which was the center of the battle between the two armies, and they could only choose to land here.

As a result, the scale of the battle expanded step by step, and the Wei army also regained its inferior force.

On this less than [-]-meter city wall, soldiers from the two sides huddled together and fought, roaring and wailing endlessly.

Just when Zhou Can was nervous, a soldier came running from behind and said, "General, the rebellion of the Lu soldiers in the city has been suppressed, and our army is cleaning up the mess!"

Hearing this news, Zhou Can couldn't help being very excited. At this time, as long as there is good news, he will feel excited.

So he immediately shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, the Lu people in the city have been wiped out, and now we only have one enemy in front of us, kill them!"

Good guy, Zhou Can's words are very motivating, and the morale of the Qi army in the fighting circle can't help but be boosted, which makes the pressure on Wei Jun a lot.

But for the soldiers of the Wei army on the city wall, they also have no retreat. If the city wall cannot be defended, the probability of survival is very small.

However, sometimes things developed unexpectedly. After the soldiers of the Qi army overwhelmed the Wei army in terms of morale, they fought more and more smoothly, making the Wei army miserable on the city wall.

Looking at the increasingly difficult subordinates on the city wall in the rear, General Wei Chen Fang was agitated for a while, secretly thinking that the people of Qi are hard nuts to chew!

Just when he was about to send an order to send more troops, a messenger came under his banner.

"What's the matter?" Chen Fang said angrily, he was not in a good mood at this time.

The heralds were not afraid at all, they were used to seeing generals angry in this line of work.

Only the herald said: "General Chen, the general has an order, please withdraw your troops immediately!"

Hearing this, Chen Fang almost thought that he had heard wrongly, withdrawing troops?Withdraw troops at this time?Can we withdraw troops at this time?

"Why?" Chen Fang said angrily, obviously resisting this military order.

Because this would not only make his siege come to an end without a problem, but also make the brother who died in battle die in vain, which Chen Fang didn't want to see.

The herald was unable to answer his question, but said in a deep voice: "General Chen, this is the general's military order, and I don't know the reason!"

Seeing that Chen Fang still had no intention of withdrawing his troops, the herald said again: "General Chen, the general said that if anyone refuses to obey the order, he will be executed immediately!"

After hearing this, Chen Fangke was moved!

General military orders would not add such a sentence of "beheading", and Zheng Chang, as a general, did not have the power to behead the general.

But Zheng Chang said so, which shows that his military order is absolutely correct, and he has the confidence to kill those who refuse to obey the military order.

Now, Chen Convenience has no choice!
Besides, looking at the situation on the city wall at this time, he also knew that the possibility of capturing Qufu today was unlikely, at least it would be difficult for him alone.

At this time, Chen Fang could only say sorry to the brothers who were still fighting on the city wall.

Then he ordered the messenger behind him to withdraw his troops, and then he also turned around and left. He was going to see Zheng Chang and ask justice to himself and his brothers.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the Wei army who were fighting were stunned when they heard the order of Ming Jin to withdraw the troops.

However, the soldiers of the Qi army became more aggressive, crushing and beating the Wei army, which was at a disadvantage.

The soldiers of the Wei army had no fighting spirit at this time. While coping with Qi Jun's attack, they looked for opportunities to retreat to the city wall.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Can's heart finally fell to the ground.

Although he wondered why the Wei army suddenly withdrew its troops, it was a good thing, at least the city was guarded!
On the other side, when Chen Fang rushed to Zheng Chang's tent angrily, he found that all the generals had gathered here.

Originally, everyone launched it together, but Chen Fang was the real main attacker, so it can be said that these people have abandoned him.

Therefore, after entering the military camp, Chen Fang had a bad look at everyone.

Before Zheng Chang could speak, Chen Fangfang asked, "General, why did you issue this military order? All the soldiers under my command have gone to attack the city!"

Then Chen Fang turned to his colleagues and said: "And you, do you know that my brothers are working hard, but you all withdraw your troops, this is your friendship?"

The generals were left speechless by Chen Fang's question. Although they obeyed the military order, they also felt a little guilty.

As for the main seat, seeing Chen Fang making a fuss here, Zheng Chang was of course also angry!

No matter what reasons Chen Fang had, there was still a need for superiority and inferiority. Chen Fang's behavior was trampling on his majesty.

So Zheng Chang slapped the table and said angrily, "Have you had enough trouble?"
