[69 Book Bar - www.] "Pass the message~! Cut down the trees quickly and pave the river channel!" After hearing this, Sun Jian quickly ordered.

"My lord~~it's better to let General Huang Gai's vanguard army retreat first~~~In this case, the supply of troops will be insufficient~" Lu Su urged after seeing that Sun Jian had no intention of retreating first.

"No visit~~Now the Jingzhou army is pinned down by our catapults, and they dare not attack our army for a while~" Sun Jian looked at the empty city wall and said calmly.

"Alas~~" After listening to Sun Jian's words, Lu Su sighed slightly in his heart. Sun Jian's desire to retaliate is really serious...

"General, our army has begun to attack the city. Do you want to stop the catapult attack?" At this time, the small colonel in charge of the catapult saw that his troops began to climb the city wall and hurriedly came to report.

"Change to the heavy crossbow and suppress the enemies on the city top!" Sun Jian ordered.

"No~~" After hearing this, Chongnu Primary School, who had been waiting beside Sun Jian, accepted the promise and left.

"Kill~~~" Under Huarong City, Sun Jian's vanguard troops were still rushing towards the foot of the city wall, and the ladders were also hung with Sun Jian who was climbing up with various bombardments on his head.

Army soldier.

"Quickly, bring up the troops below the city!" Seeing that the enemy began to attack the city, Cai Mao ordered Su Fei.

"Nuo~~~" Su Fei agreed and ran towards the other side of the city wall with his body low.

After a while, the number of soldiers on the city began to increase, and because many of Sun's forward troops' ladders were used to build the moat walkway, the attack at this moment was much lighter.

"Huh huh~~ You're suppressing your seniority, right?" Cai Mao looked at the Sun Jian soldiers supporting him outside the moat and said with a cold smile.

"Order the archers to shoot intensively at Sun's army outside the river!" Cai Mao ordered in retaliation.

"Nuo~~" After hearing this, Lu Jie beside him took the order to assemble the archers.

"Middle brother~~You go and push the catapult on the inside of the city wall to a distance of fifty steps from the city wall, and launch stone bombs outward!"

"Yes~~brother~!" Upon hearing this, Cai Zhong took the order and walked towards the city.

"Su Fei, go push out the heavy crossbow from the city and strike hard at Sun Jun on the other side of the river!"

"No~!" Su Fei took the order and left.

Due to the greatly reduced number of ladders, Sun's army's attack seemed weak, and nearly 30,000 troops were crowded on both sides of the moat.

‘Whoosh whoosh~~~’ The first wave of arrows came. Sun Jun on the other side of the river blocked the wave and quickly organized a shield defense.

'Boom, boom, boom~~~' Sun Jun, who thought he was fine, suddenly exploded in the crowd... Huge stones smashed the soldiers holding up their shields, and scattered in the crowd.

Come...

"Whoosh whoosh~~" The disrupted Sun Army ushered in the second wave of arrow rain, and this time, it was also mixed with the threat of more than 200 thick and heavy crossbow arrows.

'Puff puff puff~~' For a time, the foot of the city was hit by boiling water, huge stones, heavy hammers, and arrows on the top of the city. The attack was fierce when the ladders were destroyed one after another.

Also falling continuously..

The soldiers outside the moat were even worse...

Continuously being counterattacked by Jingzhou soldiers' heavy weapons, Sun Jian's forward was defeated for a while...

The troops outside the moat can still disperse and retreat, but Sun's army inside the moat is in a difficult situation. With no reinforcements behind and no way forward, they can only try every means to defend at the foot of the city wall...

But the results were the same.... Generals Huang Gai and Cheng Pu, when the enemy used heavy equipment, retreated outside the moat to take command...

"Brother Huang~~What should we do? Some of the soldiers in the rear have escaped~!" Cheng Pu held a large shield in one hand and a large sword in the other and asked Huang Gai, who was in the same posture next to him.

"We can't retreat! My lord hasn't given the order yet~! Hurry up and organize the soldiers to continue the attack~~ If we don't support the city, the soldiers under the city will be doomed~" Huang Gai said helplessly.

However, the two generals tried many times to let the soldiers quickly pass the ladder on the moat, but they were all killed instantly by the archers on the city...

"Lord~! We must withdraw our troops first~!" Lu Su persuaded him after looking at the vanguard troops that were scattered outside the city.

"Alas~Ming Jin~ withdraw the troops~~~!" Sun Jian looked at the scattered crowd, breathed out lightly, and gave the order reluctantly.

‘Dingding~~Dingding~~’ On the battlefield, the crisp knocking sound of bronze weapons resounded throughout the battlefield, and Sun Jian finally withdrew his troops...

"Everyone, retreat quickly~~Retreat quickly!!" After hearing the sound of gold ringing, Huang Gai shouted loudly towards the soldiers who were still resisting under the city wall.

Although he knew very well that the soldiers on the other side of the river basically had no hope of survival, he still couldn't help shouting to the other side.

"Brother Huang~~" Cheng Pu shouted after seeing Huang Gai who was still roaring with red eyes: "Brother Huang~~ let's go~~!!"

.....

"Oh oh oh~~~" Although the Jingzhou soldiers were not as effective as Sun Jun led by Sun Jian, their first defense of the fortified city ended with a complete victory. The morale of the soldiers soared. They saw Sun Jun on the top of the city.

After the army retreated, they shouted and shouted at the remnants of Sun's army who were clearing the city.

"Huh~~Sun Jian is like a bird that has lost its wings after leaving the water. What else does he want?" Cai Hao taunted after he raised his bow and shot an arrow to kill a Sun soldier who was trying to quickly pass through the moat.

shouted.

"Brother~~Sun Jun retreated?" Cai Zhong saw that the city slowly became quiet and quickly found his eldest brother and asked.

"Look~~ He can run faster than a dog~ Humph!!" Cai Mao pointed at the remnants of Sun Army's forward force led by Huang Gai Cheng Pu and said coldly.

"Haha~~ Sun Jian's child is nothing more than that!" Cai Zhong echoed.

.....

"The whole army is fighting!" Sun Jian listened to the cheers in Huarong City, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he ordered the generals around him with a cold face...

"Nuo~~~" The generals took the order and went down one after another to equip the temporary bridge.

"Woo~~~Woo~~" An hour later, Sun Jian's horn sounded again...

After another burst of violent bombing, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Sun Army shouted loudly, carrying simple wooden bridges one after another, and rushed towards the wall of Huarong City...

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~Boom~~~' This time, before Sun Jun's catapults and heavy crossbows finished shooting, Cai Mao's heavy equipment also began to counterattack. Both sides suffered losses. Of course, Sun Jun's dense

, the naked sea is even more disadvantaged.

The two sides continued a war of attrition, but neither side gave in even a step. Finally, it lasted until dark...

‘Dingding~~’ Sun Jun’s golden sound sounded again…

The soldiers retreated like a tide...
