Most of the soldiers of the opposition forces had just crossed the moat, and they had just put up ladders, and as a result, countless rockets were fired from the city walls.
The rocket fell into the moat filled with flames, and the flames burst into flames instantly.
The people on the city wall took the opportunity to pour kerosene under the city wall, and in an instant, the outside of Wuxian County turned into a sea of fire!
Almost all the ladders used to siege the city were burned down. The soldiers trapped under the city wall not only had to be corroded by the flames, but also had to be attacked by the archers on the city wall. They could not retreat or ascend. The losses for a time were extremely heavy.
When Ding San saw that the county town was surrounded by fire, he knew that the enemy was indeed prepared, so he quickly ordered an immediate retreat.
But before Ding San's order could be conveyed, there was a "rumbling" sound of horse hooves in the distance!
Those were the five hundred cavalry that Sun Ce took away from Yuan Shu!
Sun Ce went to Lujiang to attack Lujiang, so he left the cavalry in his hometown. Although the number of cavalry was not large, in the eyes of the opposition group, which could only be called a mob, they were truly invincible magic soldiers!
The opposition forces only had generals such as Ding, Ding, Ding and Ding, who were barely equipped with horses. The rest were all infantry, and they even wore cloth armor.
They had never seen the momentum of a cavalry charge. At this moment, they felt the slightly shaking earth and the murderous cavalry. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
When Ding San saw the military formation dispersed, his heart suddenly sank and he said: "It's over!"
"Cheng Pu is here, the traitor will die!"
"Third brother, retreat quickly!" Ding Si came to Ding San's side and shouted anxiously.
"Fourth brother, you should withdraw first. Kuaiji County will definitely not be able to hold it any longer. Go back and take Mr. Lu with you and leave quickly. I will buy you some time!"
"No, third brother, I'll cut off the queen, you go!"
"Stop fucking talking nonsense and get out of here!!!" Ding San's eyes turned red, and he immediately pulled out his long knife and slashed Ding Si's horse's butt.
The horse was in pain, neighed, ran wildly, and quickly left the battlefield with Ding Si.
Seeing Ding Si leave, Ding San led the last three thousand or so people and used their flesh and blood to block Cheng Pu's cavalry.
However, the five hundred cavalry were only the vanguard, followed by thousands of Jiangdong infantry.
"When Xu Sheng comes, the thief will die!"
A muscular general holding a broadsword led three thousand infantry towards Ding San.
Ding San was already determined to die. He just wanted to delay it for a moment, "Captain... Fourth... Mr. Lu... I will still be your brother in the next life!"
...
Ding Si was led by the injured horse and ran wildly. He didn't know where he ran.
It was not until the war horse ran so fast that it foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground on its own. Ding Si fell to the ground and finally recovered from his grief.
"Those damn idiots!" He punched the ground hard, tears streaming out of his eyes uncontrollably, "Third brother! Just wait, I will come back to avenge you after I move the Lu family out!"
Ding Si is an agent who has received strict and professional training. He knows that now is not the time to act on impulse, and he also remembers Ding San's instructions to him.
The great situation was ruined by a group of greedy teammates. After a wave of team battles, the hometown was also in danger.
A fire broke out under the city of Wu County, causing the opposition forces to lose almost all their strength. Without the defenders, Kuaiji County could almost be defeated overnight.
At this time, I definitely can't hold on anymore. How far I can run depends entirely on my luck.
Ding Si's horse had run out of breath, and he could only return to Kuaiji County on foot after identifying the direction.
Fortunately, the direction the horse ran after going crazy was the direction of Kuaiji County, which saved him a lot of time.
Valley wren
After a night of fighting, the opposition forces collapsed.
Nearly half of the 40,000-strong army died in battle or were burned to death, while the rest either escaped or knelt down and begged for surrender.
There is only one place where a person is struggling to his death...
"Pfft!" Ding San slashed to death the soldier who tried to sneak attack him from behind, but was stabbed in the thigh by the soldier who sneaked from the other direction.
Facing a group of spearmen with more than ten feet of spears, Ding San would not have been able to last so long if Zhou Yu had not ordered to capture them alive.
Cheng Pu walked over and the crowd parted automatically.
Seeing Ding San lose the ability to move, Cheng Pu said: "I think you are also a man, surrender."
Ding San was covered in blood, and the blood from the wound on his head dyed his vision red.
His vision became blurry due to excessive blood loss, but his hearing was still normal.
After hearing Cheng Pu's words of persuasion to surrender, Ding San sneered and said: "One day, my lord will avenge me!"
Without waiting for Cheng Pu to speak again, Ding San used his last strength and shouted: "For the world!!!"
Then he suddenly bit his right tooth, and with a "Plop!" he fell to the ground and died.
Cheng Pu took three steps at a time and came to Ding San, only to see a stream of black blood spilling from the corner of Ding San's mouth.
"He actually swallowed poison and committed suicide!" Cheng Pu secretly said that he was careless, and the mission arranged by Zhou Yu was considered a failure.
Xu Sheng came to Ding San, opened his mouth, and after observing, said: "The poison is hidden in the teeth... He looks like a dead soldier!"
"Which force sent the dead warrior?"
Just when Cheng Pu was thinking hard, a clear voice came, "Cao Cao!"
"Gong Jin, are you here?" Cheng Pu stood up quickly after hearing the news behind him, and said with a look of shame on his face: "I'm sorry, I..."
"General Cheng, there is no need to worry about it. I didn't expect that this man was actually a dead soldier. It would be too difficult to capture a man like him alive."
"Then shall we counterattack Kuaiji next?"
A flash of light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he replied: "General Huang has set out, hoping to rob the remnants of the Lu family. As long as we catch them, we can get concrete evidence. Then I want to see what Cao Cao's explanation is!"
"Gong Jin, why are you so sure they are Cao Cao's people?" Cheng Pu was very confused.
"After Yuan Shao unified Hebei, the next person he had to deal with was Cao Cao. Cao Cao is in a place of four battles. If he doesn't solve the hidden dangers around him, how can he dare to fight Yuan Shao with peace of mind?"
Cheng Peng was suddenly enlightened and asked: "Is this the reason why the young master is eager to send troops to Lujiang?"
"That's right...Cao Cao can't be distracted. This is the best time for us to expand our strength...and if Cao Cao is defeated by Yuan Shao, we can still take the opportunity to go north to the Central Plains."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he and Cheng Pu fell into silence together.
After the defeat of Lujiang, there was no news from Sun Ce until now, and they were extremely worried.
Cheng Pu patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and comforted him: "Young Lord, you are unparalleled in courage and you will definitely be able to break out of the siege! Let's help him settle down his family first."
Zhou Yu forced a smile on his face and nodded: "Well... we need to recuperate from today's battle. Tomorrow we will send troops to Kuaiji to join General Huang."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu looked at Ding San's body again and said in a cold tone: "Cut off this man's head and hang it on the south city gate!"
"Here!" Xu Sheng took the order, drew his sword and walked towards Ding San...
Cheng Pu opened his lips slightly. Ding San was considered a loyal and brave person. He originally wanted to persuade Zhou Yu not to insult Ding San's body, but he saw that Zhou Yu's face was gloomy and full of frost. When the words finally came to his lips, they turned into a deep sigh.
