‘Boom!’ With a loud bang, a tall bamboo raft was heavily mounted on the city wall, and wooden boards were placed on the moat. Thousands of soldiers rushed across the moat and climbed upwards.

Arrows on the city were like rain, and the rolling wood and stones were smashed like hail. The soldiers in Jiangdong held shields to block it, but they were still rolling and falling.

The Jiangdong army concentrated ten bamboo rafts and attacked the city wall that was 200 steps long. More than a thousand soldiers under the city raised crossbows and shot arrows at the top of the city. Soldiers were constantly caught in arrows and fell from the top of the city screaming.

The battle between the two sides gradually became white-hot.

In less than half an hour, nearly a hundred Jiangdong soldiers who entered the Water Gate Cave were almost killed or injured, and the remaining dozen Jiangdong soldiers also escaped to death. The entire Water Gate was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

However, compared with the successful defense of the Watergate Cave, the defense of the city wall is dangerous and in danger.

The battle for the city walls has been fought for most of the time, and there are corpses on the city and under the city, and blood flows into a river.

The city walls were dyed with red red. Seven of the siege bamboo rafts had been destroyed, but new bamboo rafts were constantly put into battle.

Two thousand Jiangdong Army had been killed and injured by 500 people, and more than 700 defenders at the city were killed and injured, most of whom were civilians who were assisting in defense. They did not have leather armor defense and would often bleed too much after being shot by arrows.

At this time, the defenders began to use the city-defying iron fork. This type of iron fork was three meters long and weighed more than a hundred kilograms, and was specially used to deal with city-sieged ladders.

The iron fork crossed a bamboo raft, and more than a dozen people pushed out hard. The bamboo raft swayed and squeaked, and began to leave the city wall and straightened outward. With the shouts of the defenders, the bamboo raft finally turned outward, and dozens of Jiangdong soldiers on the raft screamed.

Xu Sheng, who was watching the battle not far away, could no longer suppress his anxiety. The Water Gate attack made no achievements and the city wall attack suffered heavy casualties. If he continued to fight like this, his three thousand troops would not last long.

Xu Sheng raised his gun and shouted: "Surprise the city with me!"

He swung his spear and ran towards the top of the city. When hundreds of soldiers behind him saw the commander in person, they immediately became very motivated and followed Xu Sheng to fight for the first place.

Xu Sheng rushed onto a bamboo raft and ran seven or eight steps in one breath. More than a dozen wooden rocks on the top of the city smashed him head-on. Xu Sheng raised his shield with his left hand and waved his spear with his right hand, lifting huge rocks and rolling wood from above his head.

Xu Sheng was very skilled in martial arts and extremely powerful. He enjoyed a reputation in Dongwu. He was not only skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in strategy. He was a famous general of both civil and military affairs in Dongwu. He was highly valued by Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers.

He knew that morale could not be extinguished. When the Jiangdong Army repeatedly attacked unfavorably, he would definitely be able to boost morale by leading by example.

Xu Sheng blinked into the city, and at this moment, seven or eight spears stabbed him at one after another. He raised his shield to resist, and the spear in his hand stabbed in the gap. In a moment, five or six defenders were stabbed to the ground by him.

A dozen steps away, Sang Ming saw Xu Sheng extremely brave and was about to climb to the top of the city. He was furious and shouted loudly, slashing at him with a knife.

"Good come!"

Xu Sheng shouted, threw away the shield, waved his gun with his arms, and heard a loud bang, and the sword and gun were in line with each other. The huge force made Sang Ming's arms numb, and the big sword almost flew out.

Sang Ming was shocked and turned around to escape. Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng's spear was fast. He flipped his hand and pierced Sang Ming's neck with a "puff!" and pushed out his strength.

Sang Ming screamed muffled and flew out of the city. Xu Sheng jumped onto the city and stabbed the spear. In an instant, three or four soldiers were stabbed by him, and the soldiers were so scared that they retreated one after another.

At this moment, Wang Tai shouted loudly and waved his sword to slash at Xu Sheng.

Liu Jing arranged his soldiers to deploy rockets in Wengcheng. Rockets are undoubtedly a powerful tool to deal with the Jiangdong Army's water attack. Last night and today, they defeated the Jiangdong Army twice, relying on fire attacks.

At this moment, a soldier rushed over and shouted in horror: "Young Master Jing, General Sang was killed, and the enemy attacked the city!"

"And these civilians!"

Xu Shu pointed to a large row of civilians lying at the base of the city wall and sighed: "It is actually a mistake for the young master to let these untrained people be on the front line of combat. They cannot play their role. They should be allowed to fight in the rear, such as letting them use step bows, shooting arrows under the city behind, or training them to manipulate catapults, so that they can act as a soldier."

Xu Shu's analysis was very thorough and he could always see the key points of the problem. Liu Jing nodded, saying that he was indeed Xu Shu, and he was indeed well-known. He said a little ashamed: "Yuan Zhi is right, so I will order people to find a carpenter."

Xu Shu smiled, looked at the vast Yangtze River again, and said slowly: "Actually, the key is reinforcements from both sides. If it is not as expected, the Huangshe reinforcements from Wuchang will definitely come, and the reinforcements from Jiangdong may also arrive. If the Jiangdong army defeats the Jiangxia army, then the key to this battle is whether Gan Ning can arrive in time. Gan Ning is outside, the young master is inside, and the inside and outside are in harmony, and the Jiangdong army will undoubtedly be defeated."

Liu Jing felt a little moved. In fact, the will of heaven in the dark was not just to become the chief general of Chaisang, but to Xu Shu come with him, making him become his military advisor.

"Xu Shu entered Cao's camp without saying a word." This common saying cannot be allowed to happen again no matter what.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled and said, "To be off-topic, after this battle, I will find a house for you in Chaisang, and at the same time recommend you as the lieutenant of Chaisang County. Yuan Zhi will bring his mother, wife and children together!"
