Chapter 630: Precarious

The officers shouted at the top of their throats, and the crossbowmen hurriedly pulled the strings and arrows, and the knife and shield hands hurriedly ran on the wall.

When the Northern Army of the Conquest Army hooked up with the ladder, Liu Bei's army finally began to counterattack. Arrows fell like raindrops, and the Northern Army of the Conquest Army of the Conquest Army that was climbing the city began to suffer casualties.

The cloud ladder and the flying tower were successively mounted on the flying tower. The assault troops of the Northern Army quickly climbed up along the Cloud Ladder and the two thousand sniper crossbow soldiers were about thirty steps away from the city wall and shot arrows on the city head. Whenever the rain of arrows swept across the city head, Liu Bei's army would always be shot to the ground. Affected by this, the Liu Bei army on the city head could not strike the siege of the Northern Army. Liu Bei's army desperately threw stones and wood into the city, and a pot of boiling oil was poured down, and soldiers of the Northern Army were constantly loaded and fell from the cloud ladder.

Arrows of both sides flew in the air in a row, and the whistling sounded like a raging locust swarm. The assault troops of the North Army climbed upwards with stones above their heads, squashed wood and boiling oil, and kept approaching the city while paying a considerable price.

Finally, a soldier from the North Envoy Army climbed to the top of the city, and then more and more soldiers of the North Envoy Army climbed to the top of the city. The sound of killing in the melee on the city was shocking.

The Northern Army continued to hit the city wall like a surging wave; Liu Bei and Huang Zhong had already arrived at the city gate, shouting and cheering the soldiers. The subsequent troops continued to surge onto the city gate. All the soldiers were red in their eyes at this moment, and they tried their best to stop the Northern Army's offensive. The city gate was crowded with people, with sword lights like snow and blood as wolf. The screams were intertwined with the sound of the collision of weapons, shocking the earth. Suddenly, a loud noise sounded at the city gate, and in a terrifying huge flame, the solid city gate turned into debris; the soldiers on both sides who were holding the city gate and fighting melee felt their feet shaking suddenly, and hundreds of soldiers on both sides fell to the ground immediately.

Chen Chu, who was watching the battle under the Central Army Commander, saw that the city gate was finally destroyed, couldn't help but whip and shouted: "Okay!!"

"Lord!" Lu Bu and Dian Wei clasped their fists together, with a fierce fighting spirit in their eyes.

Chen Chu glanced at the two of them and ordered: "Fengxian, you lead three thousand light cavalry to break into the city immediately; if you come, you lead the central army brigade and then enter the city!"

"Get order!" the two generals responded excitedly.

"Remember! If you can capture Liu Bei alive, you will capture Liu Bei alive; if you can't, bring his head to me!"

"Yes!" Lu Bu smiled proudly and said, "I will tie Liu Bei to the lord's seat!" The two of them turned their horses together, shouted and ran down. However, at this moment, flames suddenly churned at the city gate.

"Lord, look!" a captain shouted in the direction of the city gate.

Chen Chu looked over and was shocked. He saw that the entire city gate was surrounded by flames. The dozens of soldiers who had just broken into the city gate were now trapped in the sea of ​​fire and struggling in the flames.

"What's going on?" Chen Chu couldn't help but frown.

Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, thought, "It must be that Liu Bei ordered people to lay down tung turd oil at the city gate in advance. When he saw our army breaking through the city gate, he ordered people to set fire!" Chen Gong's speculation was correct, and the truth was almost the same as his expectations.

Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Dian Wei and Lu Bu rode back, and Lu Bu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, there is a flame ignited at the city gate!" Lu Bu looked annoyed.

Chen Chu frowned and nodded, "Stop the assault for the time being, you two lead the central army to wait for your order! The chariot troops are ordered to rush into the fire with sand and soil to put out the fire! Once the fire is extinguished, you two will lead the army into the city!"

"Yes!" The two generals agreed with their fists and then rode their horses down.

Chen Chu looked at the city where the battle was in full swing and scolded fiercely: "You big-eared thief have many crooked moves!" Then he turned his head and asked Chen Gong: "Public platform, you can let the side masters on both sides attack the city."

Chen Gong looked at the city wall and nodded, "Now is the time!"

Chen Chu immediately shouted at the commander: "Immediately send a signal to the left and right side and side divisions to launch an attack immediately! Fight me hard!"

Immediately, three red signal rockets rose from the Central Army to mid-air. The signal rockets in the Zhengbei Army were a simple communication equipment made of gunpowder, with only two colors, one is red and the other is green. This green is because the gunpowder is mixed with a little copper ore powder.

The left and right divisions, who had been impatient, immediately launched an attack, climbed the city wall in one breath, and started a melee with Liu Bei's army. The offensive of the Northern Army was extremely fierce. Liu Bei's army, which had an advantage in numbers, was beaten backwards, and the city walls on both sides of the east and west were immediately in danger.

"Lord, the Northern Army is in the East City, and the West City is launching an attack at the same time!!" A scout ran to Liu Bei panting and reported.

Liu Bei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked anxiously: "What's the situation now?"

"The offensive of the Northern Army in Zhengbei is extremely fierce. The two generals Guan Hai and Liu Yan are struggling to resist! The Northern Army in Zhengbei has now attacked the city, and our army is fighting with him!"

Liu Bei frowned and said angrily: "Guan Hai, Liu Yan each has 20,000 infantrymen! How could the Northern Army attack the city so quickly?"

A trace of fear flashed in the scout's eyes, and the report reported: "The Northern Army is so fierce!"

Liu Bei was stunned and looked back at the Zhengbei Army, who was competing with several times his troops on the city wall in front of him, and felt powerless.

"Lord, you must send reinforcements to the east and west city walls immediately!" the scout said anxiously.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and pointed to the scene in front of him, "Where do I have reinforcements?"

At this moment, a primary school suddenly shouted, "What is that?" and his tone was a little frightened.

Liu Bei's heart was thrilled and rushed to a wall without fighting. Looking out of the city, he saw several large wooden boxes that he had never seen before moving towards the city gate. This large wooden box has four wheels, is covered with iron sheets, has a sharp head and a sharp blade, which looks very strong and fierce.

Liu Bei frowned and murmured: "What's this?"

Just when Liu Bei was stunned, the "big wooden boxes" had already rushed to the city gate, and one of them rushed straight into the sea of ​​fire in the city gate cave.

Liu Bei came to his senses and suddenly realized something, "No! They want to put out the fire!!" Liu Bei immediately ordered someone to call Huang Zhong and ordered Huang Zhong to lead five thousand infantrymen to the city gate.

Huang Zhong came to a place more than ten steps away from the city gate. Through the raging flames, he saw soldiers of the Zhengbei Army throwing bags of sand and soil into the flames. It turned out that the "big wooden box" did not really rush into the flames, but slowly pushed forward with sand and soil to extinguish the fire by the fire.

"Is there still tung oil?" Huang Zhong asked anxiously.

The captain beside him replied with a frustrated look on his face: "No more! I've used it all!"

Huang Zhong frowned, "The crossbowman comes forward!"

Hundreds of crossbowmen immediately stepped forward and bent their bows and arrows.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

With Huang Zhong's order, hundreds of sharp arrows roared through the sea of ​​fire, and then the sound of trembling sounds suddenly sounded like a sudden rain. Several soldiers who were working in fire extinguishing were shot down on the spot. Other soldiers immediately hid in the chariot and fought back with powerful crossbows through the shooting hole.

"Lord, let me lead a surprise soldier to rush over!" Dian Wei roared impatiently.

Chen Chu said in a deep voice: "No! You can't make unnecessary sacrifices!" Then he ordered the messenger: "Immediately order someone to send the sky-bombing thunder to shock, well, blow out the fire with the cannon wind!"

"Is this okay?" Lu Bu disagreed.

Chen Chu said: "If it's OK, you will know if it's OK!"

Hundreds of sky-burning thunders were sent near the city gate. Since the above city gate was also in a melee, the Liu Bei army on the top of the city failed to effectively snipe the Northern Army.

The soldiers of the Zhengbei Army, who were in the chariot, retreated the chariot from the front of the city gate hole, and then several soldiers were holding lit sky-bombing thunder and preparing to throw it into the city gate hole. At this moment, another wave of arrows flew over from the opposite side of the city gate hole. Several soldiers were all caught arrows and gritted their teeth and threw sky-bombing thunder into the sea of ​​fire. However, a soldier's right wrist was shot by Huang Zhong with an arrow, and the sky-bombing thunder that was about to explode rolled to the ground. The soldier frowned and rushed forward.

Boom boom boom!!! Explosions sounded one after another, and the flames burning at the city gate instantly became smaller, while the soldier was crushed to pieces in the earth-shaking explosion.
