Chapter 400: Offensive and Defensive Battle

More than 10,000 infantry attacked the Jiangdong Army with great force! The Jiangdong Army was desperately trying to resist the Lu Bu army's cavalry, but suddenly the Lu Bu army's infantry attacked him hard, and immediately felt unable to resist! The formation gradually became chaotic. Although he was still fighting with all his might, the entire army was retreating involuntarily! The Lu Bu army's offensive became more and more fierce, and the Jiangdong Army's momentum was gradually suppressed! Sun Ce roared loudly at the top of his voice to try to stabilize the position, but his roar seemed to have become useless at this moment!

I don't know who turned around and ran back first, and all the Jiangdong cavalry turned their horses and fled. Seeing this, Sun Ce knew that he could no longer turn the situation around, so he had to turn around and run towards the camp, intending to defend the camp and make plans. Lu Bu's army followed the situation and chased the fleeing Jiangdong cavalry to the front of the camp, and then began to attack the camp. When the Jiangdong army was panic, it could not stop the attack of Lu Bu's army, and was instantly rushed into the camp by Lu Bu's army.

Sun Ce was unwilling to be defeated, so he led a war cavalry to launch a crazy counterattack, colliding with the war cavalry that had just rushed into the camp led by Zhao Yun, and started a battle near the camp gate! For a moment, the iron hooves rush over and the cavalry collided, and the long sword and horse lance raised blood rain all over the sky. The screams and the neighing of the horse were deafening! Sun Ce's cavalry roared and rushed wildly, but they were still crazy but could not defeat the Lu Bu army cavalry like wolves and tigers. The two sides fought for only a moment. Sun Ce

The cavalry was defeated again. At this time, Lu Bu's army was continuously pouring into the camp gate and attacking the panic Jiangdong army. The iron cavalry rushed and the infantry was like a tide. Sun Ce's army could not hold on to the position and retreated from the camp! At this point, Sun Ce had to give up his plan to defend the camp and led the remaining defeated generals to run wildly to the west. Lu Bu's army chased for a while, but because the opponent was all cavalry and could not catch up, he withdrew back to clean the battlefield, and then returned to the city of Danyang County.

Sun Jian led the main army to come to Danyang County after passing through Chaisang. Before he arrived at Danyang County, he met Sun Ce who was retreating. Sun Jian was in a bad mood, but when he saw Sun Ce retreating, he felt even more depressed and felt nowhere to vent his anger. Sun Jian appeased Sun Ce and his remaining defeated generals, and then led the army to continue to march towards Danyang. One day later, the army advanced to Danyang City to set up a large camp. Sun Jian did not rush to attack the city. He learned from Sun Ce's defeat and knew that although the Lu Bu army in front of him was not large, his combat power was strong, and rashly siege the city was just a waste of troops. Therefore, he planned to attack the city hard after he had prepared enough siege equipment before attacking the city in one fell swoop. Sun Jian felt that he had not had much time and he did not want to spend too much time in Danyang.

Ailang stood on the city gate tower and looked at the enemy camp outside the city. He was happy to see his opponent not coming to attack the city.

Xu Shu quickly walked up to the city gate tower, came to Ailang's side, clasped his fists and said, "General, Sun Jian is probably coming out in full swing this time! According to the scout's report, Sun Jian brought nearly 120,000 troops this time!" Ailang smiled and said jokingly: "This is like a gambler who lost his eyes. He took out all his belongings and wanted to take all his bets!" Xu Shu nodded, and then smiled and said, "But Sun Jian really has no way out! He knew that if he could not expel us as soon as possible to retake Danyang, Wujun and Kuaiji counties, when our subsequent troops arrived, they would be defeated!" Ailang smiled.

Xu Shu said seriously: "My lord must not be careless! Although the Jiangdong army is not as good as before, there are more than 100,000 troops. If there is a slight mistake, Danyang may be lost!" Ailang smiled and said, "I know. But I absolutely believe that my soldiers can withstand the fierce attack of the Jiangdong army! If there is a mistake, it is fate. No one is wrong!" Xu Shu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "My lord is wise." Then he said, "My lord, just received an urgent report from the north. Our army's main force has passed Xuzhou and is about to arrive at Huaishui. It is expected to attack Chaisang within ten days." Ailang smiled and said, "Okay! Everything goes well!" Xu Shu said, "My lord, you should leave Dangyang and return to Jiangbei." Ailang nodded and said, "Okay, then I will leave Danyang tonight and go back to Jiangbei. The matter here will be left to Wenyuan."

Sun Jian's army spent two days to build a large number of siege equipment. Early in the morning of the third day, the sound of war drums outside the city suddenly rumbled. Sun Jian's army came out in full swing, approaching the city wall from the west, north and south to set off the siege. The arrow towers were like forests, flags were like clouds, and shouts rushed to the sky!

Sun Jian immediately looked at the city ahead, and saw that the city wall was ready to fight. Sun Ce clasped his fists at Sun Jian and said, "Father, I will lead the warriors to attack the city wall!" Sun Jian shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry, attack first." Then he shouted to the messenger around him, "Send the city!" The messenger Yingnuo immediately raised the red flag in his hand. The sound of war drums immediately sounded rapidly, and the Jiangdong army on the north and south sides launched an attack on the city at the same time. 30,000 soldiers and horses were divided into three parts and approaching the city from three directions at the same time. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses formed three huge turtle shell formations with shields. Clustered with dozens of arrow towers and a large number of other siege equipment, just like three huge turtle-shaped turtle shells slowly approaching the city wall.

Zhang Liao stood on the top of the city and looked at the approaching enemy army, with a look of motionless expression. An officer next to him couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "General, the enemy army has entered the crossbow and shot it." Zhang Liao said, "Don't waste arrows. Bows and crossbows are useless against such tortoise shell formations. Pass the orders, don't shoot without authorization, listen to my orders." The officer Yingnuo ran down.

The Jiangdong Army was approaching the city wall. Zhang Liao glanced at the towering arrow towers not far from the city wall, and suddenly shouted: "All three-bow crossbows aim at the enemy's arrow towers! The officers and soldiers who operated the three-bow crossbows were ready to go. When they heard Zhang Liao's order, they immediately adjusted their direction and aimed at the tall arrow towers that the opponent was approaching the city wall.

At this moment, the baffles in front of the arrow tower were put down one after another, and the crossbowmen who had long been hiding it immediately fired arrows on the top of the city. For a moment, the arrows were flying around the top of the city, and some Lu Bu soldiers were caught in arrows and fell on the top of the city.

Zhang Liao waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Shooting the three-bow crossbow!" The officers and soldiers who controlled the three-bow crossbow pulled the ropes together. With a huge shock, hundreds of huge guns and arrows flew out and rushed straight towards the arrow towers that were approaching the city wall. In an instant, flesh and blood flew across the arrow tower, and the crossbowman on the arrow tower fell like raindrops! Sun Jian and others who were watching the battle behind couldn't help but be slightly moved when they saw this scene.

Countless officers and soldiers carrying cloud ladders surged out from the tortoise shell formation approaching the city wall, quickly put the cloud ladder on the wall and began to climb the city wall. The crossbowmen who had been ready to go were shouted: "It's now! Shoot!" The crossbowmen fired arrows together, and the arrows poured down to the city like heavy rain. The Jiangdong army officers and soldiers under the corner of the wall were preparing to climb the cloud ladder, which had lost the protection of their shields. Unexpectedly, the opponent's arrow rain was pouring down at this time, and countless people were caught in the arrows and fell down.

The ground! Zhang Liao shouted at the officers and soldiers holding the rolling stones and said, "Rolling stones and soldiers!" The officers and soldiers immediately raised the rolling stones and pushed them down the wall. In an instant, the rumbling sound was deafening, and the rolling stones and wooden rushing down from the city like a waterfall! The Jiangdong army officers and soldiers who were climbing the ladder were smashed down one after another, as if they were raining for a while; and the Jiangdong army officers and soldiers who stood under the corner of the wall raised their shields to resist the arrows of Lu Bu were smashed by the sudden rolling stones and wooden flesh and blood and wounded!

Sun Jian frowned tightly, looking very annoyed. He suddenly shouted from Zhou Tai: "Attack the city gate!" Sun Jian saw that although his attack was a bit unfavorable, he expected that the opponent's main energy and troops should be on the city wall, so he wanted to take this opportunity to send elite troops to break through the city gate in one fell swoop.

Zhou Tai received the order and immediately led two thousand elite infantry troops to rush towards the city gate, with a very fast speed. After a while, the two thousand elite soldiers rushed to the city gate. Dozens of officers and soldiers rushed into the city gate, and began to rush into the city gate! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A bucket of turbulent oil suddenly poured out from the hole above the city gate hole, poured onto the top cover of the city gate, and then several torches were added.

It fell from the hole and hit the top cover and jumped a few times! Then the flames ignited on the top cover and spread quickly, and the entire top cover was burning! Seeing this, Zhou Tai immediately shouted: "Get out!" The officers and soldiers who were ramming the city gate immediately stopped rushing to the city gate and ran out of the city gate hole. Then he grabbed the iron lock tied to the horizontal bar behind the city bus and dragged the burning city bus out of the city bus, and then quickly removed the top cover and threw it aside.

Zhou Tai shouted to the dozens of officers and soldiers who were manipulating another rushing car, "Go up!" The officers and soldiers immediately shouted and pushed the rushing car and rushed into the city gate, continuing to rush to the city gate. Zhou Tai's men and horses collided in this way. The most effective burning method for dealing with the rushing car had almost no effect. The city gate was shaking under the constant collision of the heavy rushing car, and was about to be unable to hold on.
