Watching those fireballs continuously shooting into the city and setting the houses on fire, Sun Yu felt a little silent for a moment.
War is like this. You must do whatever it takes to win. Many of those houses were civilian houses, not military facilities. They were burned down mercilessly just because they were in this strategically important city.
In fact, when they heard that there was going to be a war, the residents of the city had already fled in advance, and the remaining residents were less than 50,000. They were all the old, weak, sick and disabled, so they had no choice but to stay because they could no longer run away.
Although the King of Zhenbei tried his best to order the soldiers to put out the fire, these private houses, which were mainly made of wooden structures, were not so easy to save.
After a night of fire bomb attacks, basically all the houses in the city had been burned down, and many people living in them were burned along with these houses.
Some people escaped from the house, but their belongings had been burned, and what awaited them next would be hunger and cold.
However, the soldiers of the Wei State did not intend to stop and continued to throw fire bombs towards the city. It seemed that the Wei State was really well prepared and had actually prepared so many fire bombs.
Three days later, almost the entire Wugui City had been reduced to ashes, and everything that could be burned had been burned. However, because King Zhenbei was well prepared from the beginning, many military supplies were retained.
Down, Wuguicheng can continue to hold on.
Although many soldiers survived, the three days of fire did not allow them to get a good rest, and many were so tired that they wanted to sleep.
However, Wei's soldiers all came in batches to project fire bombs, so their main force was well-trained.
Some soldiers had previously suggested that the King of Zhenbei go out of the city for a sneak attack in order to destroy the trebuchets used to attack the city, but they were all rejected by the King of Zhenbei, so he only used some of the trebuchets in the city to fight back.
However, Wu State had not fought a war for a long time, and many trebuchets were ineffective, and there was not much ammunition, so they did not pose a great threat to the Wei army.
When the commander-in-chief of Wei State, Zhenyuan King Qu Chuji, saw that the fireballs thrown into the city could no longer cause a fire in the city, he decisively ordered an attack on the city.
At this time, Wei State had assembled a total of more than 400,000 troops. After receiving the order, they set up cloud chariots and ladders and rushed towards the city wall.
The Wei archers also approached the city wall under the cover of the shield soldiers and shot at the Wu soldiers on the wall.
The defensive battle of Wugui City officially started, and the soldiers of Wu State, led by Zhenbei King Xiong Qianshi, began to launch a frantic attack on the enemy troops under the city wall.
Those arrow feathers, rolling wood, and stones all rained down on the heads of the Wei soldiers. The Wei archers also shot arrow feathers at the Wu soldiers on the city wall, but because they were shooting from bottom to top.
Wu's archers Yinxian had the upper hand, so the final result was that some of Wu's soldiers fell down from arrows occasionally, but Wei's soldiers fell down in large numbers.
The soldiers of Wei did not retreat because of the fall of their comrades. After they came to the city despite the attack, they began to borrow cloud carts and ladders to climb up the city wall.
Some Wei soldiers rushed up to the city wall, and hand-to-hand combat began.
Seeing so many soldiers holding swords and slashing wildly towards the opposite side, fighting and killing each other, the monks in the sky fell silent and watched the bloody scene quietly.
At this time, the elite soldiers of King Zhenbei finally took action. They galloped on the city wall on horseback, killing all the Wei soldiers who climbed up, and then the Wu soldiers in reserve rushed up the city wall.
They poured the hot asphalt onto the ladders and cloud carts, making it impossible for the soldiers on these ladders and cloud carts to climb up the city wall with these equipment.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the state of Wu began to clean up the soldiers of the state of Wei who had climbed up the city wall. After some killings, the soldiers of the state of Wei rushed up and killed all the soldiers. The victory shouts of the soldiers of the state of Wu broke out from the city wall.
Voice.
At this time, King Zhenyuan of the Wei State, Prince Qu Shou of the Wei State, and Mr. Gui led a group of Wei generals on horseback, watching the first wave of the Wei State on a high slope in the distance.
The attack was repulsed, and his face looked a little ugly.
"It seems that King Zhenbei is really capable. Mr. Gui, where are your internal agents? Can you ask them to help us open the city gate like they did when we attacked the city before?" King Zhenyuan, who was standing at the front on horseback, asked Gui.
Young Master said.
"This King of Zhenbei used to be the owner of Hongjian Villa in Jianghu. He also knows a lot about our affairs in Jianghu. He has eliminated most of the spies in the city, and he has also strengthened the defense of the city gate.
, it is no longer possible to open the city gate from the inside." Mr. Gui replied with a wry smile.
"As expected, he is an old turtle. It seems that this battle will be difficult to win." Qu Chuji, the king of Zhenyuan, said as expected.
"Since we can't use tricks, let's just fight hard. Send the order and the whole army will attack non-stop, completely consuming the effective strength in this city. After taking this city, our army can directly attack the opponent's royal city."
Then King Zhenyuan issued the order to attack again.
In this way, the soldiers of Wei State took a short rest and launched another attack with new ladders and cloud chariots. But this time they also brought many chariots for digging earth. They actually wanted to use the earth to build a
Passage leading to the city wall.
So a more brutal battle began. Although the soldiers of Wei State still relied on cloud ladders and cloud carts, they cared more about the passage made of earth.
The two sides continued to fight until night, and the passage was slowly piled up. It was already half as high as the city wall. It is estimated that it will be as high as the city wall in another day. By then, all the soldiers of Wei can
Rushed directly into the city from this road.
The Wu State tried their best to destroy this road on the city wall, and the most brutal fighting started next to this road.
The Wu soldiers even went down from the city wall and killed the Wei people who were building the road. This road changed hands several times, but because the Wei soldiers were more elite and they were outside the wall after all, it was the Wei people who finally captured the road.
.
At night, the Wei people had no intention of stopping, and another wave of people continued to attack.
Sun Yu saw the Wei people's attacking posture and knew that Wugui City probably couldn't be defended. No one else could have defended it. The strength gap between the two sides was too big.
After nightfall, the Yin Ghost Sect monks in Wei State actually each took out a soul flag and collected the souls of the soldiers who died in the battle into their own soul sails, and everyone looked very happy.
.
Sun Yu didn't understand what they were doing, so he was going to ask someone. When Sun Yu looked at the monks from the Wu Kingdom, he found that they all looked at the monks from the Yin Gui Sect with contempt and even hatred.
.
Are these people from the Yin Gui Sect doing something bad? So Sun Yu asked an older monk:
"Old man, may I ask, what are the people of the Yingui Sect doing?"
"Hmph! What else can we do, but just collect ghosts? Everyone is like a dog that has seen shit." The old man actually replied. This chapter has been completed!
