"But have you thought about how long we have to wait? We don't have time to wait!" Lu Meng said.
Lu Meng seemed extremely aggrieved in the previous battle to seize the wall. He only killed dozens of people before retreating, because there were too many people, and his strength can only be said to be weak and second-rate.
With his strength, dealing with three or forty people at the same time is considered the limit, and there are more than hundreds of people on the city wall.
He didn't have the strength of Gan Ning, so he could only retreat.
After the first city battle, he seemed very anxious, because the plan they made was to go all out.
But as the fire burned the wall, the rhythm of their attack was immediately disrupted. At this time, the war seemed to have turned into a protracted war.
Gan Ning was not as pessimistic as Lu Meng, he said: "That's why we have to increase our offensive strength so that Le Jin can't rest."
"Seriously injured and exhausted, how can he not die?"
After finishing speaking, he found that Lu Meng was looking at him
"What? Is there anything wrong with my plan?" Gan Ning asked.
Lu Meng shook his head and said, "No, I just didn't expect you to be so insidious."
"I'm a thief, not a gentleman!"
Lu Meng heard that it was true.
In fact, even if it is him, there is probably only one way at this time!
Without Cao Cao's help, they would have fought for ten days and half a month.
But now, race against time!
……
The Jiangdong Army's attack became more violent, which did cause some troubles for Le Jin.
But they underestimated Le Jin's physical condition. Le Jin's body is getting better every day, and the wound has begun to heal.
Le Jin felt a little unbearable for the tingling sensation brought about by the growth of flesh and blood.
"Report the battle situation!" Le Jin said.
"11 people died in the battle, 340 and 960 were injured, including [-] and [-] seriously injured."
Le Jin saw more than 5000 wounded on the city wall, nearly half of the current army.
This is not a good number. There are still more than 1 people on the city wall, which means that many people are wounded on the city wall.
"General, the enemy has brought in a ladder!"
It's the third day now, even so, Jiangdong's army moved fast enough.
Seeing more than a dozen ladders being pushed forward, Le Jin quickly ordered the rocket to be released.
The ladder must be burned down.
Of course, the aerial ladder is not just as simple as a ladder. In fact, the modern aerial work vehicle is also called an aerial work vehicle, but it is a ladder that sticks out in ancient times.
The ladder car is nearly three meters high and is a large siege vehicle.
The rocket came, but the wood used to make the ladder was freshly felled, not dry wood, so the effect of the rocket was not very good.
The soldiers pushing the ladder stood behind, unscathed.
"Take the bed crossbow!"
The bed crossbow originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was equipped in large quantities in the Han Dynasty, and it is also a common defense tool at the end of the Han Dynasty.
However, the production process of the bed crossbow is very exquisite, so there are not many in the whole city of Hefei.
And there are not many crossbow bolts as thick as arms.
The accuracy of the bed crossbow is actually difficult to control, so it has always been used to deal with dense enemies, but now only the bed crossbow can deal with huge ladders.
Sure enough, the arrow shot out.
Even a huge target like a ladder is difficult to hit.
The whizzing sound of piercing the air was extremely thick, and the soldiers were torn to pieces the moment they saw the crossbow arrows.
This is an extremely brutal weapon of war, a crossbow bolt can penetrate at least four people.
"Adjust the angle and shoot again!"
The bed crossbow never refers to hitting anywhere, Le Jin understands it very well.
At this time, the ladder has entered within a hundred steps.
The bed crossbow that had been debugged roared again, and a crossbow arrow finally made a contribution.
Under the huge force of the crossbow, the ladder was shattered, and the exploding sawdust splashed everywhere, which was very lethal.
The soldiers who had been "asking for asylum" around the ladder were pierced into a sieve by sawdust in the blink of an eye.
But more ladders had already entered within fifty steps, and it was already too late to reload the crossbow at this time.
"Prepare to defend the city wall!"
Le Jin shouted: "Fire oil, where's the fire oil? Pour it on the ladder for me."
There was noise from soldiers everywhere, and someone answered him, "All the kerosene was used to burn the wall."
That's right, all the kerosene was used up the first time the city wall was burned, and now the only way to defend the city is to fight to the death.
When the first ladder was erected on the city wall, there were successive ladders.
Some people want to push to the ladder, but how can they push it?
The ladder has been fixed on the ground, and the sharp cone on the car has been inserted into the soil. Even if an elephant comes at this time, it may not be able to knock it down.
The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army climbed up the city wall along the ladder, one after another!
……
Chapter 138 Field Reappearance
The tenacity of the defenders in Hefei surpassed Zhou Yu's and Gan Ning's expectations.
It was the fourth day, and the city wall was still not captured.
The death toll counted by the Jiangdong Army has exceeded 5000, which means that an average of [-] people die every day.
Of course, the defenders in Hefei are definitely not feeling well, but according to Zhou Yu's prediction, it is far lower than what he expected.
The Hefei defenders were like Xiaoqiang who could not be beaten to death. Countless people with bandaged wounds appeared on the city wall.
They are very eye-catching, these are wounded soldiers.
They should have moaned behind the walls and waited for death.
But they stood on the city wall and were still fighting!
Only Jiang Ji and Gan Ning knew the exact number of deaths, five thousand five hundred and sixty-nine!
This number is very large, but it is nothing compared to the casualties of the Jiangdong Army.
Zhou Yu looked serious, his face was slightly tired, he hadn't slept much these days, and there were two dark bags under his eyes on his handsome cheeks.
He originally thought that Hefei was a piece of fat, but now it seems that it is a stick bone. The fat is hidden in the bone, but the outside is extremely hard.
Xu Sheng has a strong figure, a pair of bold eyebrows, and a domineering face. He has several injuries on his body, but he seems to be fine.
He sat upright and asked, "Why didn't the governor attack the rest of the city gates? A fierce attack is definitely not a good plan!"
Zhou Yu replied: "Attacking from other directions, our offensive will inevitably retreat. This will let the Hefei defenders breathe a sigh of relief and give them time to breathe."
"This also means that our previous efforts are all in vain. Besides, can we take it by hitting other city gates?"
"Only by fighting to the death can we take this city!"
In fact, there is another reason. If the troops withdraw, the Hefei defenders will breathe a sigh of relief, while their own side will breathe a sigh of relief.
Once the breath is vented, it will be difficult to gather again.
It was a clever plan to let people kill the people in the city last time, but I didn't expect Jiang Ji to react so quickly.
Not to mention all the spies in the city were killed, and the corpses of the people who were killed were carried to the city wall. After crying and complaining, the army felt hatred.
This hatred can also be regarded as a kind of morale, and it is the most extreme kind.
The so-called bravery is easy to block, and hatred is hard to get rid of.
A man of courage retreats when exhausted.
But a person with hatred will bite off a piece of meat from you even if he dies.
Zhou Yu's note is not self-defeating, it can only be said that the other party is too understanding of people's hearts.
Don't worry, this official position is not small. As the official of the prime minister in the state government, Jiang Jineng sits in this position at a young age, which shows his ability.
"However, it is already the eighth day, and Cao Cao may be here soon!" Jiang Qin worried.
What he said was exactly what everyone was thinking at this moment, they were like ants on a hot pan.
Zhou Yu's face was dark. Their soldiers and horses were only [-]. This war was already very unfavorable to them.
But there was no turning back when he opened the bow, Zhou Yu said: "I will send a letter to the lord to send more troops!"
Hearing that Zhou Yu still wants to increase the number of troops, this is an endless rhythm.
But thinking that if this battle is defeated, then Cao Cao will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and finally hold the Yangtze River, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Maybe we shouldn't have fought Hefei, so Cao Cao and Le Jin wouldn't come either!" Chen Wu sighed.
Zhou Tai shook his head, "Don't deceive yourself, Cao Cao has been operating here for a long time, do you really think he can't see the value of this place?"
"Even if he can't see it, what about Xun Yu? What about Xun You? What about Cheng Yu? So many top advisers under Cao Cao can't see it?"
"Jingzhou has been captured. Cao Cao will definitely send troops to Hefei to strangle the Yangtze River. Then the natural danger of Jingzhou's Yangtze River will no longer be a threat to them."
Chen Wu was silent and didn't speak anymore.
He was just whining and didn't expect to elicit a rebuttal.
While discussing here, suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky, like the sound of thunder.
"It's thundering?"
If it rains, this battle will be even more difficult for them.
Isn't the god of heaven not beautiful?
"No, it's not thunder!"
Because the next moment is that the earth dragon turned over, the vibration under its feet was very strong.
Outside, the sky was covered, and everyone couldn't be more clear about the rolling mist.
Sure enough, a voice was heard in the next moment.
【Welcome to the field of answering questions】
Words also appeared in the sky at the same time.
[In this answering field, everyone will be qualified to answer questions]
[If you answer the questions correctly, you will receive corresponding rewards]
[If you answer the wrong question, you will be directly obliterated]
[Please listen carefully to the questions and review the questions, and answer the questions carefully]
This is the rule.
"What's going on?" There are still many soldiers who did not participate in the Jingzhou battle, panicked.
And participated with poise and composure.
"It turned out to be an answering field again!" The generals were stunned.
Even Zhou Yu was stunned. Before, the answering field covered a county, but now it doesn't seem that big.
Because Zhou Yu could already see the boundary of the answering field after stepping out of the tent, but it was still covered by rolling mist, completely impenetrable.
"Send soldiers to investigate and see if they can get out!"
It would be much easier if you could come in and out freely.
