At the same time when Jiangdong Pengze Water Village was attacked by Gan Ning, the fierce battle in Chaisang had entered the most tragic moment.

The Jiangdong Army invested more than 35,000 people, concentrated all forces and all siege methods, and launched a fierce attack on the North City at dusk.

The fierce battle between the two sides has been going on for more than an hour. The Jiangdong Army has been repelled twice, with heavy casualties and heavy casualties on both sides.

On the battlefield, drums sounded like thunder, horns sobbed, and shouted and killed. The overwhelming Jiangdong army rushed to the top of the city. Under the northern city, arrows were like rain, woven into a dense net of arrows, and six thousand Jiangdong crossbowmen The bows and arrows on the city were completely suppressed.

The Jingzhou army could only shoot down through the arrow holes on the battlements, but the number of arrow holes was sparse and could not form effective lethality on the Jiangdong army. Most of the defenders could only hide behind the walls and throw down from the stone mouth to the bottom. Stone.

But what the Jiangdong soldiers really hurt was the civil servants who were driving the catapults and stone cannons behind them. The dense arrows crossed the city, and some shot into the city, while the other part shot at the civil servants located in the back of the city wall. The casualties were heavy, and they all lay on the ground, making the catapults and stone cannons on the city temporarily unable to exert their power.

The Jiangdong army rushed up like a tide, and siege ladders were put on the top of the city. The Jiangdong soldiers climbed up like an ant swarm. The defenders began to fight back. The stones and wood fell like hail, densely packed like rain, a group of The soldiers in the east of Jiang were smashed to death, their bones and tendons broke, and they screamed and rolled down the city from the ladder.

More than a dozen guards used a two-meter-long iron fork to hold the ladder, "Try hard!" They shouted in unison, and the siege ladder was squeaked up, straight in the air. The defenders used force again, accompanied by With a scream, the siege ladder flipped backwards.

Next to him, a Jiangdong military general was the first to kill the city. He stabbed the spear and was extremely ferocious. He stabbed more than a dozen people in a row. He jumped onto the city. The continuous Jiangdong soldiers rushed up from behind, and in an instant, they tore open the firewood. The defense of the Sang Shoujun.

This section of the city wall was under the responsibility of Deputy General Wei Yan, but the deputy general was killed. Wei Yan led the soldiers to fight against the enemy troops at the other end of hundreds of steps, and he was still unaware of the crisis here.

Just at this time, Liu Jing led more than a hundred soldiers to patrol here. A village chief discovered Liu Jing and rushed over and shouted: "Sima, a Jiangdong army has broken through the defense. Please provide urgent support."

Liu Jing also saw the crisis. He was shocked and turned around and shouted, "Come with me!"

More than a hundred soldiers rushed away with Liu Jing. Liu Jing shouted loudly, stabbed several Jiangdong soldiers under the halberd.

The tooth general knew Liu Jing. He was overjoyed and jumped forward. He swung his spear and stabbed Liu Jing's chest. Liu Jing sneered, and the long halberd opened the spear, dodged sideways, waved his hand and slashed back at the person. The back of the head of the tooth.

This is one of the thirteen-style Danfeng Chaoyang Guns. Liu Jing mastered it perfectly, no less than Zhao Yun. A cold light flashed by. The Jiangdong Army's tooth general could not dodge. The long halberd and crescent-shaped knife hit the enemy. He chopped half of his head more than a meter away, and the body fell to the ground.

The soldiers in Jingzhou were cheering like thunder and their morale was greatly boosted. Liu Jing shouted, "Care with me!"

He took the lead in killing the soldiers of Jiangdong. The soldiers behind him were in a state of turmoil and killed more than a hundred enemy troops who rushed to the city, leaving the city retreating step by step. Many soldiers of Jiangdong had no way to retreat and screamed and jumped. Go down to the city.

.

On a low hill a mile away from the north city, Jiangdong Army General Ling Cao stared at the city wall with concentration. Beside him, his son Ling Tong asked, "What did your father find?"

Ling Cao nodded and pointed to Caohe and said, "Have you noticed that there are no trenchers and stone cannons on the wall near Caohe. I heard General Lu say that the city head in that area is slightly narrower than elsewhere, this one should be The reason is that the catapult and stone cannon cannot be placed."

"Does my father think it can be broken through the Caohe?"

Ling Cao did not answer his son's questions, and he turned around and ran to the place where Sun Quan was. Ling Tong was puzzled. Although he was young and only fifteen years old, he had already fought with his father. He was brave and good at fighting. He was deeply loved by Sun Quan. He made an example. He was named the Marquis of Military Affairs and became the youngest general of the Jiangdong Army.

At this time, Sun Quan was standing in the welcoming pavilion beside the dock, staring at the siege with worry. Although the Jiangdong army fought bravely again and again, it was still unable to break through the defense line of the Chaisang defender, which made Sun Quan worried. If the casualties were too heavy, Even if he took Chaisang, he would not be able to feel the joy of victory.

Jiangdong has not had a large total force, and only 100,000 troops have advanced. This time he led a 60,000 army to the west, and he has already used 60,000 troops. If the losses are too heavy, it will be difficult for him to explain to his subjects when he returns.

"Mr. Wu!"

Ling Cao's tall figure appeared outside the pavilion, and he bowed and said, "Bizhi has discovered the weakness of the defense of Chaisang City, and is willing to ask for his order to fight!"

Sun Quan was stunned and immediately walked to the pavilion and asked, "Where is the weakness of defense?"

"Report to Wu Hou, the defense weakness of Chaisang City is in the Water Gate. Did Wu Hou not find that there were no catapults and stone cannons near the Water Gate?"

Sun Quan was stunned. He raised his eyes toward the Shuicheng. Although he could not see anything in the dark, he remembered that when he attacked during the day, he did not launch a huge rock from the Shuicheng. He frowned and turned around and asked Lu Xun, "This is it." Why?"

Lu Xun stepped forward and bowed and replied, "Reported to Wu Hou, the width of the city wall on the water city is slightly narrower than other places, and it is difficult to place the catapult and stone cannons. General Ling said it well, Water Gate is indeed the defensive weakness of Chaisang City. When Huang Zu attacked Chaisang, he was also preparing to attack Shuimen. They should know better than anyone else what is the weakness of Chaisang City?"

Sun Quan stared at the water gate and said nothing for a long time. He suddenly turned around and asked Ling Cao, "If the defenders drifted out of the water and ignited the river, how would you deal with it?"

"The Beiyi will use driftwood to intercept the water gate, so that the stone, carbon oil cannot flow out of the city. The Beiyi will ignite the fire again and burn the defenders against it!"

Speaking of this, Ling Cao knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to make a military order. If I cannot attack the city, I will bring people to see you!"

Sun Quan Zhuangzhi immediately agreed, "I will give you three thousand troops and thirty siege ships, and you will be limited to one hour to break through the enemy's defense."

Ling Cao said in a deep voice: "The humble official will never disappoint the Marquis of Wu!"

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Cao led thirty siege ships to slowly approach the Water Gate. The siege ship is different from ordinary warships. It is wide and straight, and it is very stable in the river. There are various siege tools installed on the ship, such as stone cannons. , trenchers, ladders and siege rams, etc., can attack cities from the water.

This is also the killer weapon of the Jiangdong Army. It is just because of the turbulent oil of the Chaisang defenders and is reluctant to enter the battlefield. This time Sun Quan handed them over to Ling Cao.

Ling Cao stood at the bow of the boat with an iron spear, commanding the army to kill from both sides of the Caohe River to the Shuicheng Gate. More than a dozen water ghosts dived from the water to the Shuicheng Gate, connecting five or six driftwoods to form a thread on the water surface. Wooden dams, this can prevent stone, carbon oil from drifting out of the city, and then another wooden dam is placed a hundred steps away to prevent the defenders from throwing tinder oil from the top of the city.

The guard at the head of the Shuimen City was Wang Tai, who led 800 soldiers to guard the Shuimen and the city walls. At this time, he looked solemn and watched the enemy warships slowly approaching Shuimen. Wang Tai participated in the battle against the Jiangdong Army in the past year.

At that time, he was responsible for guarding the water city gate and had rich experience.

Wang Tai immediately ordered: "Dump the turmeric oil!"

The Jingzhou army had learned the power of tincture oil. Wang Tai knew that it was very effective against warship tincture oil. The soldiers immediately took action and poured hundreds of jars of viscous tincture oil into the Caohe River and drifted along the river water to the outside of the city.

But an accident happened at this moment. A Jiangdong soldier ambushed outside the water city suddenly lit a torch. He then jumped into the river and lit the turbulent oil that had just overflowed from the water gate.

'Boom!' With a sound of the ground, the fire on the water surface burst into pieces, and the flames quickly spread into the city. In a moment, the entire water city gate turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the fire kept burning into the city. The soldiers were shocked and hurriedly moved the remaining turbid oil away.

The few jars of tin oil were not too late to move away, and the shore was burning.

"General Wang, the turmeric oil was stopped by something and could not flow out." A soldier shouted under the city.

Wang Tai looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

He turned around and ordered: "Take two hundred jars of tincture oil up and fall down from the top of the city!"

Ling Cao, on the big ship in the distance, stared at the fire and sneered coldly. As he expected, the Jingzhou army was good at using fire attacks, but he had a solution.

Seeing that the wooden dam successfully blocked the floating stone and carbon oil, making the fire unable to spread out, Ling Cao waved his spear and shouted loudly: "Attack!"

More than 20 large ships have been moored more than 100 steps from the water city gate. Just outside the range of the bow and arrow, the large ship is loaded with the Jiangdong Army's thunderbolt chariot. With Ling Cao's order, a huge rumbling suddenly

With a sound, huge rocks flew towards the city, and the overwhelming flying stones roared across the night sky.

In the dark night, the defenders had brought two hundred jars of tincture oil to the city. Several defenders were preparing to pour tincture oil down from the city. Unexpectedly, huge rocks flew towards each other. The defenders were caught off guard, and many soldiers were beaten by the huge rocks.

When it hit, the bones and tendons were broken, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Two hundred turbulent oil altars were also smashed to pieces, and the turbulent oil flowed all over the ground, screams came one after another on the city. Wang Tai was anxious and shouted: "Down all!"

The defenders were hiding one after another, some lying on the ground, and some hiding behind battlements. However, the Jiangdong Army's long-range attack continued, with huge rocks flying overhead, and the Chaisang Guards were suppressed.

There is no way to fight back.

With a loud bang, a huge rock weighing hundreds of pounds hit a battlement. The battlement broke and rocks suddenly flew across the sky. Several soldiers hiding behind the battlement could not dodge and were hit by the rocks.

flow.

Another huge rock roared over, smashing another battlement into three pieces. Several soldiers behind the battlement shouted and fled in scattered.

The Jiangdong Army's attack on Caohe obviously had an advantage. The Chaisang Guard's arms attack failed and there were no long-range weapons to counter the opponent. The situation was very passive.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ling Cao waved his hand and a large flat-bottomed ship slowly sailed up, pressing tightly on the city gate. A wide ladder was set up on the big ship, and the huge iron hook on the ladder hooked the top of the city, dozens of people

The soldiers of Jiangdong Army quickly climbed the ladder.

The big ship and the ladder quickly formed a passage to the city, and more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers on both sides of the Caohe River ran onto the ship.

At this time, the stone cannon attack of the Jiangdong Army stopped. Wang Tai was the first to discover that the enemy was climbing the city. He was shocked and shouted loudly, "The enemy has climbed the city, come with me."

He rushed up with his guns, and the defenders on the top of the city reacted one after another. Dozens of defenders shouted, followed Wang Tai to pounce, blocked the gap, and fought fiercely with the Jiangdong soldiers who had climbed the city.

Soldiers kept screaming and falling from the city. Both sides fought to the death, and no one was willing to take a step back. At this time of life and death, the city and the city were fighting with their lives, and life and death were hanging on the line.
