The Wei army used a three-bow crossbow to defeat Zhu Ju. The other Wu generals did not dare to fight again. Sun Quan had no choice but to deliberately take action in person, not expecting that this move would actually have an effect.
As soon as he had taken more than ten steps, the generals stopped him.
At the same time, a man volunteered to lead troops to attack the city again.
Sun Quan was really happy to see the people asking for battle.
No matter who it is, someone really has to stand up at this time, otherwise he will really rush to the front.
Isn’t that looking for death?
Sun Quan was the emperor, but he was also afraid of death.
Such an adventure,
I also want to force these cowardly and selfish generals.
The man who requested the battle was named Ding Feng and also given the courtesy name Chengyuan. He was also a good general.
Sun Quan said with satisfaction: "Ding Feng obeys the order!"
"Here!" Ding Feng said with cupped hands.
"I designate you as the vanguard of the Northern Expedition;" Sun Quan said loudly: "I will give you five thousand elite soldiers and attack the city immediately!"
The vanguard was changed in front of the formation, which shocked all the generals. Originally the vanguard was Zhu Ju, but in the end it was only one battle, and this guy was defeated and retreated.
Hum——
Sun Quan naturally hates Zhu Ju now, and now Ding Feng takes the initiative to ask for help, just in time to deal with Zhu Ju, a coward.
Zhu Ju suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. The emperor changed his vanguard officer in front of the formation. He could naturally guess that when the war was over, he still didn't know how the emperor would deal with him.
However, it is too late to regret now.
Because, Na Ding Feng has become a new pioneer.
"Kill!"
Ding Feng rode forward and led five thousand elite soldiers.
Launched another attack on Hefei.
Compared to Zhu Ju, Ding Feng was experienced in battles. He had followed Gan Ning, Lu Xun, and Pan Zhang in battles in the north and south, and had made many military exploits, but he had never had the opportunity to lead an army on his own.
Today may be a good opportunity.
Although the three-bow bed crossbow is powerful, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it cannot defeat a general who is not afraid of death.
When five thousand elites rushed into the shooting range of the three-bow bed crossbow, the Wei army suddenly fired another spear. Ding Feng was also a little frightened when he saw the spears flying continuously.
No wonder Zhu Ju was defeated so easily.
However, Ding Feng cannot retreat.
"Kill!"
"Behead those who retreat!"
Ding Feng charged forward while shouting loudly.
Although soldiers are constantly being shot away by spears, the generals are charging forward risking their lives, and the emperor himself rushed out of the battle formation before. Naturally, these soldiers know that today they have no way out and can only move forward desperately.<
/p>
Otherwise, you might be killed if you retreat.
Wu Jun was suddenly so desperate that Wei Jun at the top of the city was also shocked.
"What's going on?"
"Wuren took the wrong medicine?"
Zhang Hu widened his eyes and looked at Wu Jun in disbelief.
"Who is this general?"
But no general told him,
After all, the Wu Army is attacking the city, so they will naturally not raise the flag of the leading general. Now they only see a Wu Army general, who is taking the lead and constantly charging forward.
"Shoot!"
"Cum!"
When the Wu army entered the arrow shooting range, Zhang Hu hurriedly urged the archers.
On the other side, Sun Quan also saw Ding Feng's bravery, which was completely different from that of Zhu Ju before. Not long after Zhu Ju rushed out, he retreated in defeat.
But now, Ding Feng has led his army close to the city, and those three-bow crossbows have lost their effect on them. The Wei army can only rely on arrows to stop them.
"Trebuchet!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Sun Quan urged.
At this time, Ding Feng was approaching the city, and he immediately led his soldiers to climb the city. Sun Quan naturally hoped that Ding Feng could perform extraordinary feats.
Dozens of trebuchets instantly started attacking.
Hoo, ho, ho!
Stone bullets were thrown out one after another, and then banged on the city head and wall.
"Siege the city!"
"Kill!"
When Ding Feng rushed to the city, he did not stop. He jumped on his horse and raised his whip, signaling his soldiers to climb up the city. At the same time, he attacked the soldiers at the city gate. They pushed and crashed the cart and had arrived at the city gate.
Bang!
Boom, boom boom!
The city gate groaned loudly after being hit.
The Wei army at the top of the city became a little nervous when they arrived. Zhang Hu continued to direct his troops to block the Wu army who was trying to climb the city.
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
With Ding Feng risking his life and taking command, the Wu army soldiers suddenly felt like they were on fire. They set up long ladders and kept climbing up. Although many of them had not even reached the top of the city, they were already beaten by the Wei army's rolling logs and rocks.
Smashed down the city.
However, they are now red-blooded and don’t care whether they will die if they go up there.
It was true that the Wu army went forward one after another. The Wu army crashed into the city gate, killing a group of them, and another group rushed up behind them and continued to hit the city gate.
Haha——
Wu Jun was actually capable of fighting, but no one had mobilized his desire to fight before. At this moment, Ding Feng suddenly felt that he might be able to break through Hefei City.
Just when Ding Feng was storming the south gate, suddenly a small school man ran up to the city gate, came to Le Wei, and said anxiously: "Prefect, it's not good, the Wu army at the east gate has also begun to attack the city."
p>
"What?" Le Wei was stunned. He did not expect that Wu Jun was so fierce this time and that both sides were attacking together.
"How is the battle going now?" Le Wei asked anxiously.
The small school was a little panicked and said anxiously: "The Wu army's offensive is fierce, like the main force of the Wu army, and the siege force must be at least ten thousand people."
"???"
Le Wei was really panicking now. There was a war going on outside the south gate, and he didn't want the east gate to be in trouble again.
"General Zhang!" Le Wei called to Zhang Hu and said, "It seems that the Wu army is bound to capture Hefei. You and I need to divide our forces to resist!"
"Don't worry, Governor, our general will go to the east gate of the city immediately." After Zhang Hu finished speaking, he immediately led a group of soldiers to exit the south gate and ran towards the east gate.
East City Gate——
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing by more than ten thousand Wu troops were loud. Although the Wei army also used three-bow crossbows, the Wei army had previously used the south gate as the main battlefield. Most of the three-bow crossbows were moved to the south gate. At this time, the east gate
There are not many three-bow bed crossbows. Adding them all up, there are only more than ten.
Compared with the Han army's three-bow bed crossbow, the Wei army's bed crossbow not only had a lower range than the Han army, but it was also a single-shot bed crossbow. Therefore, Quan Cong was not too worried when faced with an attack by more than ten spears at a time.
p>
After several charges, more than ten thousand Wu troops rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
The Wu army stormed the east city gate, which made the Wei army hastily respond at first. However, as the Wu army increased in number, the Wei army also knew that once the Wu army attacked the city, they would definitely die without a burial place.
"Shoot!"
"Shoot!"
"Shoot them!"
The generals at the top of the city kept urging, and at the same time they also expected the prefect to send troops for reinforcements as soon as possible.
The battlefield in the east of the city is now tight, with only three to four thousand defenders.
But there are more than ten thousand people in this Wu army, and each of them seems to have changed their temper. This is the first time they see Wu Jun who is not afraid of death.
Quan Cong, who was directing the battle, stared at the battlefield and secretly shouted in his heart: 'Who said that I, the Great Wu, are not good at land warfare? Who said that I, the Great Wu, are not good at land warfare!'
"Team 4! Enter!"
Seeing that his side was advantageous in front, Quan Cong immediately asked the fourth echelon to join the battlefield, because he had discovered that the Wei army's defenders on the east wall were not very strong.
Also, he already knew about the battle at the South City Gate.
Ding Feng replaced Zhu Ju as the vanguard and has also begun to attack the south gate. Now the Wei army is attacking two gates. As long as the offensive continues unabated, the city of Hefei will be breached in a short time.
However, the Wei army was naturally not a bully. Facing Wu Jun's strong attack, they fought even more vigorously. Even without a general, they did not allow Wu Jun to easily climb the city.
Of course, as Zhang Hu later arrived at the East City Gate and the Wei army's garrison strength was replenished, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Wei army were also greatly strengthened.
The two southeastern city gates experienced a day and night of fierce fighting.
The city of Hefei is still in the hands of the Wei army.
Although the Wu army had climbed to the top of the city many times, under the desperate fighting of the Wei army, the Wu army was still driven back again and again.
However, although the city was defended.
However, Wei Jun also paid a heavy price for this.
After a day and night of fighting, the 30,000 Wei troops in Hefei were reduced sharply to just over 22,000, and seven to eight thousand people died in the battle day and night.
This casualty still makes Le Wei a little scared.
Fortunately, after the Wu army attacked for a day and a night, they temporarily stopped the attack.
"Prefect!" Zhang Hu said tiredly: "There is something wrong with Wu Jun this time!"
"In the past, when they encountered setbacks, they just ran away;" Zhang Hu frowned and said, "But this time, they seemed not to be afraid of death and charged with all their might."
"Yeah!" Le Wei also nodded and said: "Wu Jun has changed, completely changed. They are no longer the Wu Jun before."
"Prefect, when will the imperial reinforcements arrive?" Zhang Hu asked.
Before the war started, Zhang Hu didn't care about the reinforcements at all. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether the reinforcements came or not, because the one who attacked the city was Sun Quan, the Emperor of Soochow. It was okay for this guy to shout slogans, but if he really led the troops to attack the city, he could only
That’s right.
But things are different now. After this day and night of fighting, he is now very anxiously looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.
"Alas!" Le Wei sighed and said, "It will take at least ten days to get to Hefei from Luoyang, even if we travel day and night."
"Ten days?" Zhang Hu's eyes widened.
After only one day and one night of fighting, Hefei lost seven to eight thousand people. If they were allowed to hold on for another ten days, how could this be possible?
Unless, unless, unless Sun Quan temporarily stops the attack, giving the Wei reinforcements enough time to rush to the rescue.
"Victory in the first battle!" Sun Quan said with great joy: "The generals must not slack off because of this. Rest the entire army for half a day and continue to attack Hefei. Don't be sure to capture Hefei before Cao Wei's reinforcements arrive."
After a day and night of strong attacks, Sun Quan saw the hope of victory. In the past, when the Wu army attacked the city, they would be defeated even if they suffered a slight setback. They would no longer have fighting power, and in the end they could only choose to retreat.
For more than ten years, Sun Quan suddenly felt that the resentment he had suppressed in his heart was released at this moment, and he also realized that he was really wrong before.
"Quan Cong, Ding Feng!"
Sun Quan glanced at the generals in the tent, and finally looked at Quan Cong, Ding and Feng. He said with satisfaction: "The victory in the first battle is all the result of the two beauties. When the city is defeated, I will fight with the two beauties.
Just get drunk and rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them thanked each other in unison. As for the other generals, they all had gloomy faces at this time. They knew that the emperor had changed, and in the future, these two people would become heavyweights in the Wu court.
Winning the first battle can indeed be regarded as a great victory for Soochow. Although they failed to capture the city, it was indeed a victory.
Although more than 10,000 people lost their lives as a result, Sun Quan also saw that Wu's soldiers had boarded the city of Hefei more than once.
For Sun Quan, this is victory.
The afternoon of November 19, 240 AD.
The Wu army once again launched a fierce attack on Hefei. The generals leading the army were still Ding Feng and Quan Cong. Naturally, the Wei army in Hefei also had prefect Le Wei guarding the south gate, and deputy general Zhang Hu guarding the east gate.
There had been a day and night of fighting before, and the Wei army in Hefei naturally did not dare to underestimate this Wu army.
The Wu army attacking the city also found that they could beat Cao Wei very nervously and reach the top of the city because of the previous battle.
We are good at land warfare.
In the first attack on the city, the Wu army only attacked for a day and a night before stopping. But this time, I don’t know whether it was Sun Quan’s idea or Ding Feng and Quan Cong’s idea.
From the beginning of the siege, they seemed to have no intention of stopping.
The Wu army divided the soldiers into more than ten echelons and took turns to attack Hefei. The two sides fought to the death for two days and two nights at the southeast gates of Hefei.
However, in comparison, although the fighting between the two sides was very fierce in the past two days, after two days and two nights, the number of casualties on both sides was not as serious as that on the first day.
In two days and two nights, the Wei army lost 6,000 people, seriously injured 3,000, and suffered countless minor injuries.
On the Wu army side, nine thousand people were killed, six thousand were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured.
Hefei——
Still in the hands of the Wei army.
However, after two days and two nights of fighting, the Wu army did not stop attacking the city. They just slowed down the frequency of the siege slightly to give the soldiers a little chance to breathe.
However, Wei Jun did not have this respite.
Because compared to the 100,000 Wu army, the Wei army only had 30,000 people in total. After this continuous fierce battle, their casualties had reached the extreme.
"Reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements!"
During the breaks in the fighting, Zhang Hu roared like this more than once. He expected reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.
Because if the reinforcements don't come to reinforce them, they really may not be able to hold on.
The Wu army has many soldiers and generals, and they can handle it calmly even if they attack the city in a wheel battle, but the same cannot be said for the Wei army. The only generals in Hefei are Zhang Hu and the prefect Le Wei.
From the moment the war began, they had not slept for several days.
"General!"
"General, please take a rest first!" a small school principal consoled with distress.
However, Zhang Hu did not dare to rest. Although the Wu army's attack frequency has slowed down, it is only slowing down and has no intention of stopping.
"No need, I can still hold on!"
"Coming, coming!"
"Everyone get up!"
"Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Not even half an hour after resting, the Wu army came to kill them again. After these days of fighting, the Wei army's three-bow crossbow had stopped firing.
Why?
Because now there is no gun to shoot with!
Starting from this morning, the Wei army's method of defending the city was more of hand-to-hand combat. Each of them exhaustedly guarded the city head, and then waited for the Wu army to climb up the city wall, and then used the sword in their hands to greet them.
p>
"Kill!"
When a new wave of Wu troops came to the top of the city, Zhang Hu quickly rushed forward and slashed at the Wu troops who were advancing on the city with his already curled sword.
The Wei army now has no rotating officers. They have been fighting for a whole day, but the Wu army is taking turns to fight. So at this time, the morale of the Wu army is greatly shaken, but the Wei army is dragging its tired body in order to defend the city.
Use their last breath.
Perhaps feeling that the Wei army was at the end of its battle, Quan Cong outside the east city gate watched more and more Wu troops ascending to the top of the city and were strangling the Wei army at the top of the city.
"Charge the whole army!" Quan Cong shouted loudly. At the same time, he also raised his horse and whip: "Hefei will be defeated today!"
"Hefei will be destroyed today!"
In an instant, a large group of Wu troops under the city continued to rush towards the city.
On the top of the city, the defenders were obviously struggling. Although they were still fighting tenaciously, Zhang Hu was also anxious in the face of more and more Wu troops.
"Reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements!"
However, no matter how much he shouted, what he saw outside the city was still the charging Wu army.
Suddenly, a scimitar flew out.
The Wei troops on the left and right were so frightened that they rushed towards Zhang Hu.
"General, be careful!"
However, their shouts were still a step too late. When Zhang Hu turned around, the scimitar had already penetrated from his back to his chest.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Looking at the bloody blade on his chest, Zhang Hu suddenly felt a sense of release, as if everything was over.
The moment before he fell to the ground, he used all his strength to swing out the long knife in his hand, and hit a Wu soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city.
"Zhang Hu is worthy of the Wei Dynasty!"
"Zhang Hu is worthy of the Wei Dynasty!"
"Zhang Hu is worthy of the Wei Dynasty!"
After three loud shouts, Zhang Hu, son of the famous general Zhang Liao, fell to the ground with a thud. He completed his mission as a general of the Wei Dynasty.
He is indeed worthy of the great Wei Dynasty.
The main general died in battle, but the rest of the Wei army was not defeated. On the contrary, they killed more fiercely. They were like tigers descending the mountain one by one. No matter how ferocious the Wu army in front was, they rushed towards the Wu army.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Just like the so-called desperate fight, the remaining few hundred Wei troops actually fought for nearly an hour against the Wu troops who were several times their size.
Of course, by this point in the battle, Wu Jun had already forgotten life and death.
However, when the last Wei army was killed by them, more than 2,000 Wu soldiers on the top of the city collapsed on the city wall.
Looking around, there are corpses lying everywhere on the entire city wall. They include soldiers of the Wei army and soldiers of the Wu army.
This is a tragic war.
However, there was no one there, so I felt scared.
"Everyone, get up!"
Quan Cong climbed to the top of the city, looked at the Wu soldiers collapsed on the city wall, and shouted loudly: "The battle is not over yet, and it is not time to rest yet."
Hearing the general's roar, the exhausted sergeants quickly stood up from the ground.
At this time, Quan Cong pointed to the corpses on the ground and said: "Leave a thousand people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the soldiers will go to the south of the city."
The east gate of the city has been breached, but he doesn't know the current situation in the south of the city, but he does know that Hefei City belongs to Dawu.
Quan Cong had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and said, "Although these Wei troops are enemies, they are still brave. We managed to pick them up."
"No!"
The sergeant heard the promise and instead of throwing the corpses of Wei soldiers under the city, they piled them up in a corner of the city wall.
They——
They are all brave warriors.
After the battle, the Wu army officers also admired these enemies.
