() The war is so cruel. Comrades died in front of their own eyes, but the military orders were like mountains. The war drums continued, so they had to step on the corpses of their comrades and continue to advance. Xu Chuzhong's army reached the foot of the city wall, and there were no arrows. Taking advantage of the short period
During the gap, Xu Chujun's captain Sima hurriedly led his troops to set up a flying ladder and climbed up quickly.
They had just put the ladder up on the city wall, and not many people had climbed up in a hurry. They were halfway up. Suddenly, they were half flying and hanging in the air. It turned out that Huo Jun's soldier used a fork pole to push back the ladder, leaving Xu Chu's defender who was halfway up.
He fell to the ground. Fortunately, the city wall was not high. However, if a person fell from a height of four to five meters, he was unprepared. In severe cases, he would be disabled even if he did not die, and in mild cases, his ankle would be sprained.
Fork pole, this tool can not only resist the enemy's use of flying ladders to climb the city, but also can be used to kill enemies climbing the city. When the enemy's flying ladder approaches the city wall, use the chisel blade at the front of the fork pole to resist the flying ladder and push it down.
Or when the enemy climbs halfway up the wall, use the forked pole to push down the ladder and chop it hard. The horizontal blade in front of the pole can cut off the enemy's arm.
After finally climbing to the top of the flight ladder, before I could feel the joy, suddenly a stream of yellow liquid fell from the sky, accompanied by an unforgettable smell that I will never forget.
Golden juice, a folk Chinese medicine name, is a traditional Chinese medicine formed by adding collected feces, preferably good well water or underground springs, and the soil must be red soil. After multiple processes, it is buried underground for decades.
.Indications: Tianxing fever poisoning. But it is not a 'good medicine' for those attacking a city.
In order to defend the city, the defenders thought of any way and used any means. Gold juice, in layman's terms, is dung water, or boiling dung water. Collect the dung of people and livestock, put it in a big pot on the wall, add it
The water was boiled. Even the soldiers making it on the side couldn't stand it for a long time after smelling it. They had to take turns to stir it up. You can imagine what kind of torture this was for the siege party.
Stinky, sad, hot, and painful. Dozens of cauldrons in the city were simmering this stuff. As soon as they climbed to the top of the ladder, they were about to climb up the wall. The hot golden juice poured down. Xu Chu's soldiers screamed because it was so hot.
, countless people couldn't help but let go, but they fell down, either dead or disabled. In an instant, big bubbles appeared on the ground.
Soldier Chu's bare skin grew painful and itchy. The pain penetrated to the bone marrow, and the itch reached into his heart. Soldier Xu Chu couldn't help but scratch it, and scratched layers of skin, and the white flesh leaked out, making the pain even worse. In the golden juice
The bacteria took the opportunity to spread into the body. According to ancient medical standards, once infected, it was basically hopeless.
Pieces of stones and logs fell from the sky. Stones and logs weighing forty or fifty kilograms were thrown down when the enemy soldiers climbed the city wall. They died when they touched and were injured when they were rubbed. For a time, Xu Chu's army suffered heavy casualties.
, corpses are piled up under the city. Think of hills.
Xu Chu was not in the mood to care about the mountains and mountains. He only felt sorry for him. He was an elite soldier. He didn't expect that attacking such a small town would cause so many casualties. Before he even reached the city wall, he suffered thousands of casualties.
But there was no way out. One was to kill and injure a thousand people in vain and gain nothing; the other was to suffer more heavy damage and capture the city. Which one would have a greater punishment. It goes without saying that Xu Chu felt cruel and ordered the three thousand men behind him to be sent away.
Continue to attack the city.
At this time, Li Tong couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly advised: "General Zhongkang, forget it, if there are too many casualties, the Prime Minister will punish us. If we cannot attack the city, not only will we not get the first victory, but we will be punished."
The prime minister imposed a heavy punishment, but the gains outweighed the losses!"
Xu Chu stared at the defender standing among the soldiers on Bowang City, with a flash of sternness in his eyes, and said: "We have already reached this point, how can we withdraw our troops? As long as the city is captured, at least the merits and demerits will be equal. If
There were not many casualties in this attack, but there were no faults."
Li Tong wanted to say something more, but Xu Chu waved his hand to stop him. Xu Chu was also a bit stubborn and shouted loudly: "Send the order. The three armies obey my orders and are not allowed to retreat. Anyone who attacks the city with all his strength and refuses to retreat will be killed! This time I have to
Come on. Let me climb to the top of the city first and make my first contribution. Wenda, you stay in the rear and supervise the battle. I will lead the attack!"
Seeing Xu Chu's non-negotiable look, Li Tong swallowed his words of dissuasion. After all, Xu Chu was the commander-in-chief and Cao Cao's favorite general. Li Tong could only act according to his orders.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Xu Chujun pressed forward again. This time the attack was more fierce, the momentum was more fierce, and there were more people. Among the crowd was a fierce general with a waist as thick as two people. Like a tiger descending from the mountain, he was guarded by the beasts.
Got down and rushed over.
"Kill!!!"
The bloodthirsty shouts also added to Xu Chujun's momentum. On Bowang City, a general in his thirties had no change on his face, as if in front of him were not Cao Cao's 3,000 elite warriors, but three
Thousands of ducks, or maybe three thousand sheep, are being driven to the butcher's house.
The Jingzhou soldiers saw that the general was not moved at all, and their hearts dropped. They stared at heading forward, preparing for a battle. The small wall of Bowang City was low and thin, and Xu Chu's soldiers who had died earlier had already piled up under the wall. So there was no need for it this time.
What a ladder is, it’s just one word: rush forward! Rush forward on Tongze’s body!!
Xu Chu charged forward with the tiger sword in hand, roaring in a low voice, his eyes blood red, as if he was crazy.
"Fire arrows!" On the contrary, Huo Jun spoke less, but his face became slightly more solemn, but only slightly. This time, Huo Jun changed the timing. When Xu Chu was eighty steps away, he started to fire arrows. Much more
There was a hail of arrows, which also caused Xu Chu to stop for a longer time to dodge the arrows. However, this time Xu Chu's army was more numerous, the people were denser, and the casualties were more severe.
When they arrived at the city, Xu Chujun set up a ladder, and two or three people could climb up the city wall. However, the spearmen on the wall were divided into three groups, holding spears, spears, or forked poles, stabbing downwards. Just now Xu Chu
The soldiers stacked up the Arhats, and before they could move forward in a hurry, they were shot down.
After a quarter of an hour, none of Xu Chu's soldiers could climb up the city wall, and they were all stabbed down. At this time, the crossbowmen behind them, who had been preparing for a long time, showed their power again, and rained arrows on Xu Chu's soldiers.
An hour later, Xu Chu finally climbed onto the city wall and led his surroundings to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. Looking left and right, he saw that there were less than 800 people left among the 3,000 men, and all of them were injured. Xu Chu roared and rushed towards Huo Jun.
But he was surrounded by Jingzhou soldiers. Huo Jun
Seeing that the time had come, he ordered the defenders to counterattack and went down to the city to kill Xu Chu's army. Xu Chu could not withstand the large number of people and retreated in defeat. Huo Jun refused to let go and pursued Xu Chu closely with great momentum. Even Li Tong could only
Being able to lead the remaining 1,000 men and horses, Xu Chu retreated.
Xu Chu was chased by Huo Jun for twenty miles. He only managed to escape with more than a thousand people, and the rest were killed in battle or captured.
