The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 467 Bloody Battle on Wancheng

The night in Wancheng was full of stars, but under the calm night sky, there was a strong wind howling, the fire in the city reflected the night sky red, and the smell of blood permeated the air.

There was even more wailing on the top of the city. There were densely packed soldiers everywhere, holding weapons, staring at the Jingzhou soldiers below the city who were constantly attacking the top of the city.However, it didn't take long before the Jingzhou soldiers retreated slowly, like waves crashing on rocks and scattered away.

Although the Jingzhou soldiers receded like a tide, the Bingzhou soldiers on the top of the city were very busy. They had just run out of arrows, stones, and rolling logs and needed to be replenished. The hot black oil and the boiling heat are chilling.

"Bah, hurry up! Damn Jingzhou army, damn Liu Biao, once the second brother's reinforcements arrive, I'm going to kill them!" Lu Bu spit blood, and hastily ordered.

The Jingzhou army in front of him was obviously playing a wheel battle, but Lu Bu had no other choice but to repel them over and over again. As for how long he could last, he never thought about it.

Suddenly, a school lieutenant cursed loudly. Just now, a soldier held a torch and almost ignited the black oil in the iron pan. If the school lieutenant hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, it might have brought disaster to the fish in the pond.

"I, I." Facing the hesitant soldiers, the school lieutenant didn't fight anywhere, and raised the blood-stained sword in his hand.

"Trash! You... are you a commoner?" Seeing the clothes of the soldiers in front of him clearly, the captain suddenly became alarmed.

"Lieutenant, he is a citizen of the city, and he volunteered to help us carry supplies!" At a critical moment, a corporal leader explained.

"You are a man, but what is needed on the battlefield is a man who kills the enemy!" The lieutenant put down such a sentence, turned around and continued to check his defense line.

The encouraged man's face flushed red, he nodded fiercely, and walked towards the head of the city with firm steps.

"Wen Yuan, why are there recruits, the elite of the general? What's the difference between such recruits going to the city to defend and courting death!" Lu Bu saw the scene just now, and then turned his head to Zhang Liao who had just led the troops to the city. .

"Wen Hou, the fire is raging in the city, many people are homeless, and the casualties are heavy! The people came spontaneously, and the general agreed to their request without authorization!"

Lu Bu glared at him angrily, but he didn't say anything else. The sky gradually brightened up, and his subordinates did suffer a lot of losses in the fierce offensive and defensive battle overnight.

Zhang Liao smiled wryly. Lu Bu's expression was just that he didn't like these temporarily recruited strong men, but the Bingzhou army died one less, so he had to keep his back hand, and good steel had to be used wisely.

"Forget it! Those who have the courage to come up are good men, distribute weapons and armor, and let the soldiers rest!" Lu Bu, who has been staring at the Jingzhou Army camp, said slowly. I don't know how long this battle will last, so save some strength. also good.

The tragic attack and defense overnight caused the Jingzhou army to suffer heavy losses. If the Dark Feather Guard hadn't warned in advance, the fire that night might have burned all the stock in the city.

"Huh! Wei Xu, is there any loss of food and grass?"

"Thanks to the timely transfer to underground storage, otherwise this battle would be difficult to fight!" Speaking of this, Wei Xu sat down on his buttocks. He felt a little resentful that his brother-in-law was actually arranged by Lu Bu to be the logistics manager.

"Go back to the mansion and take care of it. The situation is very chaotic right now, so I will leave the house to you!" Lu Bu said, walked up to Wei Xu and patted him on the shoulder heavily. own family.

Wei Xu was a little dazed. He understood what Lu Bu meant just now. Could it be that Wancheng can't be defended?
"Grandma, what are you thinking? How did Wancheng fall? I'll go back and get a good night's sleep and refresh myself." Looking at Lu Bu's figure patrolling around, Wei Xu thought in his mind.

The Jingzhou army retreated, and many Bingzhou soldiers didn't care about the blood all over the ground. They leaned against the city wall and fell asleep quickly. Even when they were sleeping, the knives in their hands were all out of hand.As for cleaning the battlefield, they naturally don't need to worry about it.

Lu Bu's eyes were wet. After several times of life and death, thinking that there were not many veterans brought out from Bingzhou back then, he had never felt so sad.Staring at the densely packed corpses outside the city, he secretly made up his mind that he must defend Wancheng, but Liu Biao must be killed by him to relieve the hatred in his heart.

While the Bingzhou army was busy, the generals of Jingzhou outside the city were not idle either. Looking at the city in front of them, the Jingzhou army attacked wave after wave and all returned without success.Fortunately, there were still a few wells left, but the casualties of the soldiers were really high, which made Zhuge Liang very sad.

Could it be that I made a mistake in my judgment? After several attempts at the beginning, the Jingzhou army was invincible all the way, and the Lv Bu cavalry was beaten by me without any power to fight back. Why is it so difficult to attack Wancheng now?

"Mr. Zhuge, you can't fight any more. The morale of the soldiers is completely gone. The walls of Wancheng are strong and guarded by heavy soldiers. It will be difficult to break through for a while." Cai Mao, covered in blood, appeared in front of Zhuge Liang angrily and said. .

Since he took over the military power, the Jingzhou Army has not suffered such a huge loss.But in front of him, in just one night of siege, the number of casualties exceeded [-].

Just after Cai Mao spoke, the Jingzhou generals behind him looked at the heavy casualties and couldn't bear it anymore.They all came out to dissuade them, and for a while Zhuge Liang, the commander of the three armies, became the target of public criticism.

Zhuge Liang, who was already depressed, stood up abruptly, pulled out the saber bestowed by Liu Biao on his waist, and glared at everyone!

"Anyone who speaks nonsense will be killed without pardon! Wancheng is at the end of its strength, and we still have [-] troops, how can we not break it! As the leading generals, you don't think about how to break the enemy, don't think about charging, but Here, you are bewitching the crowd with your demonic words, bewitching the morale of the army, I really think that the general would not dare to kill!" The meaning of the words was clear, but the faces of the people turned pale and they stopped speaking.

Cai Mao's complexion was extremely ugly, and he wished to order someone to kill this arrogant mountain villager immediately!

"Sir, calm down, sir, calm down!" There are those who are looking for trouble, and naturally there are also those who are old.

Zhuge Liang turned a deaf ear, got up and went out of the tent, squinting his eyes and staring at Wancheng motionless.

"How can the little Wancheng stop me!" Zhuge Liang began to think again at this moment.

The scouts reported that Huang Zhong had already sent troops south, but most of them were infantry, so he still had plenty of time.

"Decree! The whole army rests, and tomorrow we must go down to Wancheng in a battle. Otherwise, everyone who is besieging the city will come and see you!" Zhuge Liang was a little annoyed and angry.

I have devoted myself to studying for many years, and now such a good opportunity to become an official is the time for me to make contributions.If he hadn't been stimulated by Xu Shu's letter, he would not have accepted Liu Biao's invitation. He, Zhuge Liang, was unwilling to be mediocre, and would definitely do something great!
But when I think about it carefully, maybe I decided too hastily, Shi Yuan may be right, the world's major events are irreversible, but by then, I have no chance to display my ambitions.

The flames of war are raging, and the smoke of wolves is everywhere. Wancheng, a place that has been contested by military strategists since ancient times, is now full of bloody smell.After a night of great battle, both sides are silently licking their own wounds, and a bigger battle is about to start.
