Seeing Deng Ai's surprised look, Guo Huai had a gloomy look on his face, shook his head and said, "Don't be careless! Back then, my lord was able to block the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves with the help of gate posts. That was because the Yellow Turban thieves had not received formal military training.
Know how to attack the city. This Cao Wei army is not comparable to those yellow scarf thieves. The gate posts may play a certain role, but this alone will definitely not be able to completely block the enemy!"
Hearing what Guo Huai said, Deng Ai was also startled. He nodded to Guo Huai and felt relieved again. At this time, the enemy troops outside the city had begun to climb up.
The function of the gate-blocking stakes is also brought into play. Originally, the height of the ladder was just enough to reach the top of the city. After the soldiers climbed to the top of the ladder, they only had to climb up to the top of the city. But now there are more gate-blocking stakes.
, on the one hand, it virtually increased the height of the city head, and on the other hand, the protruding logs on the gate posts just blocked the way for the soldiers to continue climbing up. Especially the extra iron nails on the logs.
Many soldiers were hit by this attack. They tried to climb up the logs, but were pierced by iron nails and fell down the city screaming.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Huai also ordered the defenders to start a counterattack, especially the spearmen. They no longer hid behind the shields of the swordsmen, but clung to the female wall, using their spears to stab those who climbed up to
The enemy on the blocking post. Thanks to this blocking post, the Wei army's offensive came to a halt in an instant.
But as Guo Huai said, the Wei army was not the miscellaneous Yellow Turban Army back then! Seeing this situation, Xiahou Dun, who was supervising the battle outside the city, snorted coldly and ordered: "The others retreat first, and let the archers shoot with rockets."
!Burn the damn things for me!"
"Here!" After Xiahou Dun's order was issued, the herald immediately conveyed Xiahou Dun's military order. Suddenly, the Cao Wei soldiers who had climbed on the city wall retreated from the ladder one by one, and the archers also fired their arrows.
Instead of rockets, they aimed at the top of the city and shot at it. The gate posts were made of logs and were ignited by countless rockets in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the fire on the top of the city made it impossible for the defenders on the top of the city to stop.
Close to the female wall, only the archers used projectile shooting methods to project arrows outside the city from a distance, but the effect of such attacks was obviously much worse.
Guo Huai's face became extremely ugly. Although he had guessed that the blocking post would not be very effective, he did not expect it to be broken by the opponent so easily. It can be seen that the opponent's commander is definitely not an ordinary general.
Deng Ai and Wu Shi were already dumbfounded, especially Wu Shi. He thought that the blocking post he had moved would be a great success, but he did not expect that it would be burned down by the opponent so quickly, and he was immediately upset.
Deng Ai shouted to Guo Huai anxiously: "Brother Bo Ji! What should we do next?"
"There is no other way! Let's fight!" Guo Huai's face was ashen and he shouted in a deep voice: "As a member of the Western Qin Army, we should serve our lord! Now that a powerful enemy is ahead, we can only win by fighting to the end.
I'm worthy of my lord's kindness! You two guard the left and right, and don't let the enemy attack!" Even though Guo Huai always keeps calm, as a man, how can he not be bloody, Guo Huai directly pulled it out from his waist
He picked up his saber and swung it forward, already prepared to fight tooth and nail.
With Guo Huai like this, how could Deng Ai and Wu Shi next to him be timid? The two looked at each other and shouted in unison. Deng Ai also pulled out his saber, while Wu Shi raised his spear.
Following Guo Huai's instructions, the two rushed to the left and right sides of the city. Although they were not of high military rank, they were quite famous among the defenders. In addition, the order Guo Huai just shouted was very loud.
The soldiers above listened carefully, so naturally no one would disobey their orders.
The fire on the doorposts was quickly extinguished. Although it was not completely burned, the remains on the female wall could no longer fulfill the original purpose of the doorposts. Seeing that the fire was extinguished, Xiahou Dun immediately
He ordered the soldiers waiting under the city wall to rush forward again. However, the fire just now had no impact on the Wei army. The fire did not have eyes, and even the ladders on the top of the city were burned down. The Wei army
There were also a certain number of ladders brought this time. Part of them were burned, but they could not be replenished for the time being. As a result, the speed of the Wei army's attack on the city was also slowed down a lot.
"Kill -!" The shouts of killing echoed one after another on the top of the city, and the arrows were intertwined in the sky above the city, mixed with the thick smoke when the fire was just extinguished. In Guo Huai, Deng Ai and Wu Shi
Under the leadership of Wei Jun, the defenders at the top of the city unleashed an astonishing fighting force and blocked the enemy, which was several times their own, at the top of the city! Although many Wei soldiers rushed to the top of the city, they were quickly surrounded by the defenders.
Kill! Of course, some defenders also died in the hands of the Wei army, but every time someone died, another soldier would fill the gap and ensure the integrity of the city's defense line.
Two hours passed, and the Wei army still could not break through the city. This surprised Xiahou Dun who was under the city. He originally thought that he could take down Shangjun in one breath, but he did not expect that the defenders of Shangjun City were so tenacious. A message came from behind just now.
News came that Xiahou Lan, who was injured by Wang Shuang's meteor hammer, was not seriously injured, so Xiahou Dun's anger also dissipated a lot. But it was precisely because of this that Xiahou Dun could analyze the battle situation more calmly, from the beginning of the battle to
It has been more than two hours now. As the saying goes, if you can't capture Shangjun City again, the morale of the army will fall to the bottom. By then, even if you can finally capture Shangjun City,
, the losses of the army were also huge!
How could Xiahou Dun allow this to happen? His eyes turned cold, and he shouted: "Divide your troops to capture the other three city gates!" Xiahou Dun's previous plan was to attack the east city gate with all his strength, but he did not expect that Shangjun's resistance was so tenacious, and the ladder was blocked
A lot was burned, and most of the soldiers could only gather under the city, unable to take advantage of their strength. So Xiahou Dun simply extended the battle line, divided the other three gates, and forced the defenders to disperse their troops.
This clearly shows that there are not as many people bullying the defenders as there are Wei soldiers!
After receiving Xiahou Dun's military order, the herald immediately blew the horn. Soon, nearly half of the troops were separated from under the city wall and rushed to the left and right. At the top of the city, Guo Huai saw this situation
, he immediately guessed the enemy's plan, and immediately became anxious. There were many soldiers in Wei, so it didn't matter if they divided their forces, but the defenders only had more than 3,000 people. There had been a fierce battle just now, and 700 or 800 people had been killed or wounded. If it happened again,
If you divide your troops, it will be really difficult to fight!
But the problem was that Guo Huai knew that dividing his troops would make it more difficult to defend the city, but Guo Huai had to divide his troops to guard the other three gates. On the other side of the city, Deng Ai also saw something fishy and chopped off a wanted man with a knife.
The heads of the Wei soldiers who were about to charge forward turned to Guo Huai and shouted: "Brother Bo Ji! I will take 400 men to defend Beicheng!"
Although Deng Ai is young, his ability is definitely outstanding. These four hundred men are exactly the maximum number that all the defenders can divide. Considering that there are two other gates that need support, Deng Ai can only divide four hundred men at most.
Hundreds of people. After hearing what Deng Ai said, Guo Huai had no choice but to agree. At the same time, he turned to Wu Shi on the other side and shouted: "Wu Shi! You also take four hundred people to defend Nancheng!"
"
"Okay! Leave it to me!" Wu Shi was usually very dissatisfied with Deng Ai, but for Guo Huai, the leader of the local soldiers, Wu Shina obeyed his words and immediately nodded four hundred people from beside him and turned around.
Head towards the south city gate.
Eight hundred people were taken away in a row, and the pressure on the city was much greater. Guo Huai also had to run back and forth, like a firefighter, helping the soldiers intercept and kill the enemies who rushed to the city. Although they had not appeared yet.
What's the problem, but Guo Huai can't relax, because Guo Huai knows that since the enemy wants to attack other city gates, he will never leave the west gate without attacking! But now Guo Huai is the only one on the top of the city.
If there was no one to lead him, how could Guo Huai dare to divide his troops to defend Xicheng?
While killing the enemy, Guo Huai's mind was constantly running, thinking about solutions. But now Guo Huai is on the battlefield, how can he be distracted when he is fighting with others? Facing a female wall slave
When the Wei soldiers rushed out, Guo Huai swung his sword and hit the man in the shoulder. He thought that the enemy had been eliminated with this sword, so Guo Huai wanted to turn around and go to help elsewhere. But what Guo Huai didn't notice was that,
After the Wei soldier was hit, his eyes suddenly shot out with red light, and he suddenly rushed towards Guo Huai who had turned around, completely ignoring the bleeding wound on his shoulder.
!
When Guo Huai discovered this strange situation, the soldier had already pounced on him and threw him to the ground. Fortunately, the soldier had already dropped the weapon in his hand when he pounced on him, but now he only
Neng pinched Guo Huai's neck with both hands, with veins popping out on his forehead and his eyes red. He looked very ferocious, as if he was going to strangle Guo Huai to death in one breath!
Being pinched by the neck, Guo Huai could not breathe. Especially when he saw the soldier's appearance, he had obviously lost his mind. Guo Huai couldn't help but was shocked. He wanted to get rid of the other party, but his whole body was helpless.
The opponent was suppressed and unable to move. He could only use the saber in his hand to slash at the opponent's body as much as possible! He thought he could cut down the opponent in this way, but the Wei soldier's spirit was already superior to his body at this moment.
He ignored the extra scars on his body and held his breath, thinking only of strangling Guo Huai to death! Against such an enemy, Guo Huai had no choice but to feel that his strength was rapidly draining away as he struggled to breathe.
