Chapter 921: Allied Forces Siege
Xuzhou City, the Palace Palace.
This is now the command center of the Wuling Army Canglang Legion and Xuanwu Legion. Wen Pin, Shi Zhongyu, Shamoke, and Guan Hai were anxious and were discussing how to resist the attack of Sun Cao's coalition forces this time.
"Everyone, we can't expect the king to send troops to help. We must defend Xuzhou City by ourselves." Shi Zhongyu said with red eyes, with endless firmness in his eyes.
"General Shi is right. We must defend it. Even if we fight for the last person, we cannot let them attack in." Guan Hai agreed with Shi Zhongyu's words very much.
"The two generals and soldiers rotated in two batches. Now they are not as good as the rotation. The alliance forces outside the city are here again. We can only defend the city to death and prepare to live and die with Xuzhou!" Wen Pin said firmly.
"Saving and dying with Xuzhou!"
Shi Zhongyu, Shamoke and Guan Hai repeated.
Even if the generals were like this, the soldiers would be even more crazy. Xuanwu Legion and Canglang Legion were old corps of the Wuling Army. The Sun-Cao coalition relied on a large number of people and powerful forces to force them to such an extent, which had completely angered them.
On the top of the city, generals at all levels performed their duties. The soldiers stared at the slowly moving coalition soldiers outside the city with evil spirits. They wanted to rush out immediately and fight to the death with the enemy!
"General Wen!"
"General Shi!"
"General Sha!"
"General Guan!"
The four generals appeared in the same place at the same time. This was the first time since the war began. The soldiers all felt the seriousness of this incident.
There are so many enemies outside the city, but their own condition is not so good. Continuous battles consume too much energy and physical strength.
"Soldiers, I will know that you are very tired, but we cannot lose the reputation of the Wuling Army. Today, we will live and die together with the city!"
Wen Pin came to the city tower and shouted!
"I wish to live and die with the city!"
"I wish to live and die with the city!"
...
The soldiers roared like thunderous mountains and seas, and the sound was heard far away. Cao Cao outside the city could hear the slightly tragic shouts of the soldiers of the Wuling Army.
"Gongjin, Wenpin has no solution."
Cao Cao said to Zhou Yu beside him.
"Wen Pin is worthy of being a famous general in the world, who can persist until now." Zhou Yu said.
Although Wenpin is not the best among the generals of the Wuling Army, he is not ordinary. He does not like to compete for merit, but he does everything he has to do very well.
The Xuanwu Legion has always been the strongest defensive corps in the Wuling Army! Even if the famous generals of Shu Kingdom Ruyun, few of them have the defensive abilities like Wen Pin.
"Wen Pin is certainly a famous general, and Gongjin is also a wise general, and he is already in the category of handsome men."
Cao Cao praised Zhou Yu in a timely manner.
"The King of Lu praised it, Zhou Yu is just a small young general in Wu." Zhou Yu said he didn't dare.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was modest, Cao Cao no longer continued the topic. The army had been arranged and it was time to launch an attack.
"Gongjin, in this battle, our Lu army took the lead, how can the Wu soldiers follow?" Cao Cao asked. Although he was asking, his tone was affirmative.
"Don't worry, King Lu, my Wu soldiers should follow closely. Together with the Lu soldiers, we will break through the city of Xuzhou." Zhou Yu said.
With Zhou Yu's verbal promise, Cao Cao immediately ordered an attack. In his capacity, he naturally decided how to fight this battle.
Since it was his commander of Cao Cao, Zhou Yu would probably not be happy if the soldiers of Wu Kingdom were allowed to go first.
Cao Ta asked his soldiers to attack the city first, which gave Zhou Yu a good feeling. When the soldiers of Wu saw it, they knew that Cao Cao wanted to attack the city with all their hearts, so they would not have any other thoughts.
At the beginning of the siege, a row of thunder chariots launched an offensive in front of the Lu army. The stones as big as millstones were thrown into the sky and roared towards the top of Xuzhou city.
Other soldiers from Lu State rushed towards the city with ladders.
Wen Pin was on the city tower, motionless, staring at the running enemy soldiers.
When the soldiers of Lu State were about to run to the moat and were about to build a simple wooden bridge with cloud ladders, Wen Pin's order came down.
"Arrowman, target moat! Cover attack!"
After ordering, the archer who was fooled in the city bent his bow and put on an arrow. The arrow buzzed and pressed over like a black cloud!
The soldiers of Lu, who were laying wooden boards for the ladder, were basically shot and rolled into the moat. Not long after, the water in the moat had turned red...
Cao Cao had many soldiers, and he died one after another. He was covered with archers from the Xuanwu Legion and paved the wooden bridge.
With the passage of bridge, more and more soldiers crossing the moat in Lu and Wu countries. Their archers also rushed over and began to shoot against the Xuanwu Legion on the top of the city.
It was just because of the geographical advantage that he was suppressed and beaten by the Xuanwu Legion.
The soldiers of Lu and Wu were shot down a lot before they even approached the city wall. However, there was no trace of joy on Wenpin's face.
"Giant crossbowman, shoot those wooden bridges!" Wen Pin ordered loudly.
"Yes, General!"
The giant crossbow shot in a row, and several wooden bridges built with cloud ladders on the moat collapsed immediately, but the enemy soldiers immediately built them on the spot.
Archers gather to cover the attack, and giant crossbows strike at the target!
Wen Pin's move posed a certain threat to Cao Cao and Zhou Yu in the early stages of the battle. Before he could touch the city, a large number of soldiers fell down.
Such a situation hurts morale!
However, Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack the city, and the morale of the soldiers of Lu State was not low at all, but instead he was very eager to fight.
They fought all the way to Xuzhou City, and what battle was not like this? Didn’t the arrogant Wuling Army retreat into the city under their attack?
Mindset is very important.
The Lu army has a good mentality.
After great casualties, the Sun Cao coalition finally touched the wall of Xuzhou City. The ladder kept leaning against the wall, and was pushed away and rebuilt...
When fighting, it is to make the enemy depressed and feel comfortable.
When the enemy had too many ladders to push, Wenpin ordered the city to pour tinder oil!
The soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion poured tincture oil differently than ordinary soldiers. Others poured buckets one by one, or directly into pot, while they poured them down one by one, along the ladder.
As long as the torch is thrown down, the ladder will ignite a raging fire, and the enemy will be burned by the flames until it falls to the top of the city.
Wen Pin commanded the city to defend, and Cao Cao really couldn't take any advantage. He could only send soldiers to attack!
The previous batch will die, and the next batch will be launched soon!
War has always been so cruel! A man is worse than a dog, and his life is worse than a grass!
It seems that Cao Cao and Zhou Yu are deliberately ignoring the casualties of their soldiers and constantly sending their soldiers to attack the city.
The huge casualties are exchanged for the advantages on the city wall!
Due to too many people, it is difficult for the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion to suppress all the enemies! Xu Huang, the general of Lu State, waved a big axe and had already reached the top of the city!
The morale of the coalition forces rose sharply and they were attacking even more crazily...
"Lao Sha, go and stop Xu Huang!"
Wenpin ordered.
"Yes, General!"
Chapter completed!
