Chapter 187
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Wei Yan's face turned pale. He didn't take it seriously, but he never expected that the soldiers in these five nest cars were so fierce that they killed his soldiers to retreat one after another. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the enemy.
"Press up and wipe them out..."
Wei Yan waved his sword and committed suicide by himself. The sword slashed fiercely. The head of the famous Jiangdong soldiers was chopped away. The plasma was splashed out, splashing all over Wei Yan. He yelled, "Kill."
He swung his sword into the enemy group, and thousands of soldiers followed him, sieging him, sieging him, and pressing two fierce army of troops to the place where they climbed the city to prevent them from gathering together.
The Jingzhou army on the top of the city also knew that once the Jiangdong army broke through the city, none of them could survive. Therefore, the Jingzhou army also fought back to the death. Although the two elite troops in Jiangdong were fierce, they were not large after all. Faced with the dense siege of the Chaisang defenders, they could not rush out for a while.
There was still fierce battle on the city and under the city. The ladder was overturned, and the siege soldiers were shot and fell into the city. Screams and roars came one after another. The Jiangdong Army under the city was also like rain. The defenders were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides entered a white-hot state.
But the most threatening is the five nest cars. They are like five convenient city-climbing passages. The continuous Jiangdong army climbed to the city from here. Wei Yan's eyes were red in an anxious manner. He saw the defenders' arrows shooting at the nest cars and smashing rocks, but there was no effect.
The long iron hook that was thrown away just hooked on the wooden pillar was immediately cut off by the Jiangdong soldiers on the platform. The Jiangdong soldiers also learned their lesson and no longer gave the defenders the chance to pull them away.
At this time, a soldier rushed over and shouted to Wei Yan: "General Wei, Sima Youling, use tincture oil"
Wei Yan suddenly realized that there was a lot of tincture oil hidden in the coupon gate at the top of the city. He immediately screamed: "Burn the nest car with tincture oil."
A soldier rushed on the pot with a tincture oil in his arms and threw the pot into the five-seat nest cart. The pottery was broken and the light yellow tincture oil filled the cart. This was purified tincture oil, and the combustion power was even more intense.
At this time, the rockets were launched at once, and the nest carts were ignited on the ground, and the flames flew away. In just a moment, the blazing fire swallowed the five nest cars one after another. The soldiers in the nest cart screamed, and the soldiers on the platform had nowhere to escape, and they jumped off the nest carts several feet long, most of which could not escape and died.
Without the support of the support, the two fierce armies that rushed up the city first fought less and less, and were eventually wiped out by the defenders.
Liu Jing did not directly command the battle. This time, the two cities in the north and south attacked at the same time. He also had to pay attention to the sneak attacks in the east and west walls. He needed to control the overall situation.
At this time, Liu Jing stood on the viewing platform and watched the battle around him. Compared with the bloody battle in the north city, the south city was much better. More than a dozen nest cars were all destroyed by catapults and stone cannons halfway. The siege soldiers could only attack by ladders and siege ladders, but were suppressed by Liao Hua and killed and injured.
Although Liao Hua's martial arts skills are not as good as Wei Yan, he is better than Wei Yan in terms of city defense. And after the bloody battles over the past year, he has gained a lot of experience and lessons.
Seeing that the turbulent oil was effective and the morale of the enemy was frustrated, Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Let Wang Tai support the North City"
After a moment, Wang Tai led a thousand new forces to kill Beicheng, making the defensive forces of Beicheng reach 4,000. Jingzhou army gradually gained the upper hand and controlled the situation.
In the distance, Sun Quan stared at the nest cart that was burned by the fire. He once again learned the power of tinder oil. After a long time, Sun Quan sighed, "Send the order to stop the troops."
Dangdangdang
As the bell of withdrawal rang, the siege of Jiangdong Army retreated like a tide, leaving behind the bodies of the ground, fragmented ladders and burning nest cars, the first large-scale attack of the Jiangdong Army ended.
Cheers suddenly rang out from the city wall.
.........
On the top of the north city, soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield. Arrows were piled up like mountains, rolling wood and stones were cleaned up again, and corpses were carried down. Dozens of doctors were nervously treating the injured soldiers.
Liu Jing also inspected the north city and comforted the injured soldiers from time to time. His morale was high at this time and he did not need to continue to encourage him.
At this time, Wei Yan walked quickly, kneeled down on one knee in front of Liu Jing with shame, "I underestimated my position and underestimated the enemy, and almost let the Jiangdong Army break through the city."
Liu Jing helped him up and said with a smile: "This is a matter of experience. Changguancheng has insufficient experience and it is impossible to do it without any mistakes. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes. If you make up for the mistakes in time, this is the key. I believe there will be no next time."
Wei Yan smiled bitterly, "There will be no next time"
Liu Jing nodded and said, "Don't think about it anymore, concentrate on preparing for the battle. We are about to face a more intense and cruel siege, and we must be fully prepared."
"I understand the humble profession." Wei Yanshi bowed and retreated.
At this time, Liu Jing looked at Liu Hu who was standing aside again. Seeing that he was anxious, before he could speak, Liu Jing smiled and said, "You will have a chance to fight, don't worry."
"But you said that last time."
Liu Hu was like a child, his voice was full of grievances. Liu Jing smiled and patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Your heavy armored infantry are my killer weapons. How can I take it out easily until the critical moment? Raise the soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, how can I not use you?"
Liu Hu then grinned, and he scratched his head and said, "So I can go back and explain, otherwise, those guys must beat me into a dead tiger."
Liu Jing was both angry and funny, and kicked him, "Get out quickly or I will beat you to death."
Liu Hu smiled and ran down the city. Seeing his huge figure disappear, Liu Jing shook his head and came to the city wall again, staring at the terrible wreckage of siege weapons and corpses all over the ground outside the city.
Several Jiangdong Army soldiers appeared secretly on the battlefield and carried some undead wounded soldiers back to the camp. The soldiers of Jingzhou also collected weapons such as arrows on the battlefield. The two sides did not interfere with each other and did not fight. This is a tacit understanding in war. During the war interval, both sides were allowed to rescue the wounded soldiers.
Of course, this is not absolute. Not all enemy wars will abide by this tacit understanding, but at least between the Chaisang defenders and the Jiangdong army, this rule will be acquiesced to exist.
Liu Jing's eyes looked at the Jiangdong Army camp in the distance again.
The Jiangdong Army Camp is located in the northwest, with several acres of open land there, which is the location of Taojia Private Wharf. It was originally a narrow forest separated from the battlefield in the north of the city, but this narrow forest has been completely cut down, connecting the camp and the battlefield.
"Sima thinks how the battle situation of the Old General Huang side"
At some point, Xu Shu appeared beside Liu Jing, and his eyes were filled with worries, "To be honest, I am worried about Xiazhi County."
Liu Jing glanced at him and suddenly understood what he meant, "Is Yuan Zhi worried that Jiangdongjun also used tinea oil?"
Xu Shu nodded, "Since they have seen through the tinder oil, they will also use such sharp ignition weapons. I am worried that they will use a trench machine to throw the tinder oil onto the city, burn the North City again, or burn the city gate with tinder oil, which will be very threatening to us."
Xu Shu’s worries are reasonable, but Liu Jing believes that Huang Zhong will not let him down. He laughed, “Elder General Huang ambushed the enemy with thousands of elite soldiers, and I believe that good news will definitely come to him.”

In the big tent, Sun Quan's face turned pale, and he paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back. At the door of the big tent, Han Dang knelt down dejectedly, without saying a word. Half of his arms were naked, the arrows on his shoulders had been pulled out, and he was bandaged with medicine.
Today, the attack on Chaisang was not good, and he was very depressed. Now he heard that Han Dang was defeated and the five thousand troops were wiped out, so the anger in his heart couldn't help but burst out.
"How did I explain to you, let you march with caution and take every step of the way, and be sure to win two counties. I'll let you win overnight, but you're so anxious. It would be strange if you don't get into the trap. Now that you have ruined my big deal, how can you explain to me?"
Sun Quan became more and more angry as he spoke. The big thing he was talking about was not to occupy Yangxin County, but to Xiazhi County. He planned to send people to collect a large amount of stone-carbon oil to deal with Chaisang. Now that Han Dang was defeated, his idea of obtaining stone-carbon oil was also shattered, how could he not be angry?
At this time, Zhou Yu next to him stepped forward and advised: "Mr. Wu, General Han is not careless. We always thought that Liu Jing was short of troops and would not leave many defenders in Yangxin County. However, we did not expect that Huang Zhong had already led his army to arrive. Wu Hou, this is actually a problem with our intelligence."
Although Zhou Yu was also depressed, Han Dang was defeated and none of the people who went to get the turbid oil came back. This meant that they could not use the turbid oil to counterattack Chaisang, and many of his plans could not be realized, which made him feel a sense of failure.
However, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Marquis Wu must calm down and must not be confused by anger.
Zhou Yu's persuasion calmed down Sun Quan's anger a little. He glanced at Han Dang again. Seeing that he was haggard and was injured, he said hatefully: "Go down to heal the wound first and wait until the injury is healed before punishment."
"Thank you, thank you, Guardian Zhou"
Han Dang thanked him, stood up and retreated, and looked at Han Dang walking away, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Today's battle was unfavorable, with more than 8,000 casualties, and Han Dang's 5,000 troops were wiped out. Especially Liu Jing's use of fire attack seriously affected the morale of the army. Gongjin, what should we do next?"
Zhou Yu felt that Sun Quan's confidence was shaken, so he comforted him: "Wu Hou cared about the other party's fire attack. In fact, I believe that although Liu Jing had relatively powerful fire attack weapons, it could not control the situation of the battle. The key is that Huang Zhong's reinforcements arrived, which allowed Liu Jing to be replenished.
I estimate that there should be six or seven thousand defenders in the city. We should change our siege strategy. We recommend giving up the siege north and south siege and concentrating our troops to attack the northern city."
At this moment, a sudden sound of running came from outside the tent, and a soldier was reporting loudly outside the tent, "Wu Hou, Jiangdong urgently wrote a letter."
Sun Quan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Give me the letter"
An envoy hurried into the tent and presented a letter from Zhang Zhao to Sun Quan. Sun Quan opened the letter and read it, and his face suddenly became heavy.
"Mr. Wu, what happened?" Zhou Yu asked uneasily.
Sun Quan shook his head and said worriedly: "I wrote a letter from the military advisor. The people of Shanyue took advantage of the empty troops in Wu and rebelled and captured the county town. The momentum was huge. The military advisor hoped that we would withdraw our troops immediately."
Zhou Yu did not persuade him again. At this time, Sun Quan needed to make a decision. Sun Quan walked to the door of the tent with his hands and stared at Chaisang City for a long time. He suddenly turned around and said resolutely: "Even if the troops were withdrawn, he would still take down Chaisang, capture Liu Jing alive, pass on my order, concentrate his troops to attack Beicheng, and be sure to take down Chaisang for me within two days."
