After Lu Meng and others stayed in Jiaozhou for a few days, they led 10,000 people including Shi Xie to continue to Nanzhong.
And Li Dian in Lujiang has been besieged for several days!
The headquarters of Lujiang County is in Wancheng, and a hundred thousand troops are already surrounding it outside Wancheng.
Liu Jun's trebuchets kept firing stone bombs as if they were free. After a while, Liu Jun stopped bombarding and began to charge and attack the city!
"Everyone, get up! Stand at your position, Liu Jun has begun to attack the city, hurry up!"
Li Dian supported his slightly tilted helmet and walked around giving orders to the soldiers around him.
Pang Tong arrived here five days ago and began to attack the city as soon as he arrived. Every day, he would bombard the city with catapults to destroy the morale of the defenders in the city, and then let his soldiers attack the city.
The city wall was already stained with blood, and Cao Cao's soldiers stood firm at the top of the city despite being bombarded by stone bullets.
"kill!"
"ah!"
As soon as a Liu soldier climbed up to the top of the city, he was knocked down from the top of the city by a knife from the oncoming Cao army. The knife in his mouth fell to the bottom of the city with him. But not only this one, but also several city walls.
Soldier Liu has climbed up!
Next to the chariot outside the city, Huo Jun raised his hands to Pang Tong who was standing on the chariot and said, "Commander, do you want to pay for the gold? The casualties of the soldiers today have exceeded yesterday's."
Pang Tong turned to him while staring at the city wall, "Don't say the casualties exceed yesterday's, even if today's casualties exceed the sum of the previous days, you still have to keep fighting!"
With that said, Pang Tong pointed to the city wall and continued, "Zhongmiao, take a closer look. Our soldiers have been able to climb the city wall today. What does this mean? It means that Cao's army has reached its limit. As long as we work harder, our army can
We will definitely be able to conquer the city today!"
"Besides, let alone siege the city, even in the war, there will be no undead people. Zhongmiao, your ability to defend the city is absolutely unmatched by anyone in Jingchu. Even if you put it in the whole world, you are the best. But why?
How can a general only defend to the death? Zhongmiao, you must understand that kindness does not command troops."
Go on, Pang Tong ordered the messenger, "Pass this order to my general. The general who is attacking the city from all sides will organize a charge team and personally lead my troops to attack the city!"
Huo Jun, Cai Hao and others were shocked when they heard this. The four generals responsible for attacking the city on all sides of Anhui City were Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Huang Zu and Gan Ning.
This is not because Pang Tong deliberately excludes dissidents. After all, there are generals from the Jingchu faction here. Of course, Pang Tong has absolutely no such intention. This is Pang Tong's determination! He must attack Wancheng within today!
"promise!"
"General Pang has ordered the siege general to organize a stormtrooper and lead the siege himself!"
"General Pang has ordered the siege general to organize a stormtrooper and lead the siege himself!"
"General Pang has ordered the siege general to organize a stormtrooper and lead the siege himself!"
Soon, the messengers conveyed Pang Tong's orders to the siege generals from all directions.
Gan Ning pulled off the cloak from his back and rolled it into a band around his neck, "My sons, follow me! We will defeat this city today!"
The other three generals also received the order and immediately organized stormtroopers to prepare to attack the city.
Li Dian on the top of the city was still fighting bloody battles, "Hold on, hold on! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
Upon hearing the reinforcements, the defenders were once again boosted in morale and tried their best to drive Liu Jun down the city. Pang Tong outside the city sneered and murmured, "After this wave of revolt, it will be your death!"
Are there reinforcements? Of course there are, but at this time Xiahou Dun, Xun You and others were still arguing over whether to support Li Dian.
"General Xiahou and General Li Dian have sent thirteen messengers asking for help. If we don't support him, I'm afraid Wancheng will be lost. Once Wancheng falls, Lujiang will belong to Liu Jun. General, hurry up
Send troops to rescue!" Zhang Liao said to Li Dian eagerly.
Xun You next to him objected, "There are 20,000 troops garrisoned in Lujiang. If Pang Tong conquers Lujiang, he will definitely suffer losses. In this way, Shouchun and Hefei will have no worries. Shouchun and Hefei will have no worries, and Huainan can be protected."
also."
Zhang Liao continued, "General, if we don't send troops to rescue, who of our soldiers will be willing to serve in the future? Besides, didn't the messenger say that Pang Tong is attacking the city from all sides? Such a strategy shows that Pang Tong has mobilized his entire army. General,
If our army cooperates internally and externally, we will definitely be able to defeat Pang Tong!"
Xun You blushed and said, "General, who is Pang Tong? He is a man who even defeated the Prime Minister. How could he not be prepared for our reinforcements? If Huainan is lost, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu of Langya will attack from both sides, Qing, Xu
It’s also dangerous.”
Xiahou Dun did not say anything. He also wanted to support Wancheng, but he was burdened with the mission of protecting the entire Huainan. If supporting Wancheng would lead to defeat, or even worse, Huainan would not be protected, then how could he be worthy of Cao Cao's trust?
"I have decided not to send troops to support..."
"Report, report to Wancheng Army!"
Xiahou Dun's words were interrupted by his guards. Two guards helped a soldier who was covered in blood to enter. After a few people came in, the soldier pushed away the two people beside him, then knelt down directly to Xiahou Dun and said,
"General, please, please save the brothers in Wancheng! The brothers are defending the city against Liu Jun's stone bullets every day. Even if they know that standing at the top of the city will be beaten to pieces by the stone bullets, brothers
None of us have flinched, General. General Li Dian is already wounded and taking command. General, please save the brothers in Wancheng!"
The soldier burst into tears as he spoke, and the two guards around him were also moved. A hint of heartache flashed in Xiahou Dun's eyes. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath and ordered, "Pass this general's order to assemble troops and horses to support our brothers in Wancheng."
them!"
"No!" Xun You immediately stopped him, "General, Pang Tong must be on guard. Maybe he originally wanted to encircle the point and call for reinforcements. Maybe he has laid an ambush on the road and is waiting for our army to fall into the trap.
ah!"
Zhang Liao pointed to the soldiers who came back to ask for help and said to Xiahou Dun, "General, look at these brothers. They are fighting to the death in Wancheng. We turn a blind eye like this. Doesn't it make the soldiers feel chilly?"
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Wenyuan listens to the order. I will give you all the remaining 10,000 cavalry. It's up to you how many people can be rescued."
"General, I obey!" Zhang Liao directly accepted the order and left.
Xun You didn't stop him anymore. The loss of 10,000 cavalry was acceptable. Xiahou Dun did not get carried away and led the entire army to the expedition.
Looking at Zhang Liao walking away, Xiahou Dun sighed, then looked at the soldier who reported the news and said, "Let him go down to rest first."
"promise."
The fighting in Wancheng is still going on, but the overall situation has been decided. Gan Ning led his people up the city to repel Cao Jun, and more and more Liu Jun climbed onto the city wall!
"bite!"
Looking at Li Dian being repelled, Gan Ning began to persuade him, "Li Dian, please surrender. Today, our army will definitely capture the city."
"saliva!"
Li Dian spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground, wiped his mouth and stood up, saying, "There is only Li Dian who died in battle, and there is absolutely no Li Dian who surrendered. Kill!"
