Yuan Shu nodded directly, and countless war drums exploded instantly. Yuan Shu's troops and horses, which had just stopped, gathered again. However, just now, the Jianzhong Army was the main force of the attack, but this time, the Xuzhou Army was the main force.
"Yuan Wei."
Zang Ba came to the trebuchet troops and directly found the captain Yuan Wei.
"General, what's the matter?"
Seeing Zang Ba coming, Yuan Wei did not dare to neglect and came directly to talk to him.
"I need you to attack the city wall with me with a movable trebuchet. When my troops attack, use the mobile trebuchet to suppress the city wall. I hope I can take Bucheon City in one fell swoop."
Zang Ba glanced at Yuan Wei, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Naturally, the person he trusted the most was Yuan Wei, who was skilled in trebuchet combat.
"You must obey your orders."
After hearing Zang Ba's words, Yuan Wei did not hesitate and directly clasped his fists and promised.
"Scholar No. 2 Trebuchet is ready, follow my team to suppress the city wall."
Following Yuan Wei's order, the Scholar No. 2 trebuchet, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately came out of the formation and began to follow the Xuzhou Army and slowly advance towards the city wall.
"General, the enemy is coming again."
The Xuzhou army charged with ladders, and the lookout team on the city wall sent people directly to the city to report to Lu Bu.
"What?
Yuan Shu came to kill again?
They don’t even have trucks, so they want to take over my Bucheon City by using ladders?”
After hearing this news, Lu Bu was also stupid. This slap in the face was too fast. He just said that Yuan Shu would not attack if there was no car. But just after he said this, he was already coming to kill him.
Already.
"There is no cart, only a ladder, but something is following behind them. It seems to be a trebuchet and it is much smaller than a trebuchet."
The soldiers and horses who came down from the city wall looked at Lu Bu and directly told him the news they had discovered.
"Marquis Wen, what should we do next?"
After hearing what the soldiers said, the soldiers were also confused and looked at Lu Bu not knowing what to do next.
"Now we can only use troops to cover up the water and the earth. How much fuel oil reserve do we still have?"
Although Lu Bu didn't know what Yuan Shu was thinking now. He didn't have a truck and only relied on a ladder to capture him. He wanted to see what the enemy could do. In addition, he also had the ultimate weapon of kerosene. If things really came to that,
In a situation where it was difficult to save, he could use kerosene to save Fuchuan City.
"I'm afraid there's not much kerosene left. I can only sustain the burning of city walls twice or the burning of buildings and cars four times at most."
The preparations for the battle in the city were completed by the soldiers and warriors, so he knew better than Lu Bu about the reserves of fire oil, and when Lu Bu asked questions, he also answered Lu Bu's questions instantly.
"Then let the kerosene team prepare. If nothing can be done, they will set it on fire."
Lu Bu thought for a while, they couldn't get as much kerosene as they wanted. It was considered a strategic material, and it was very difficult to hoard it. But having less of it didn't mean he had to use it sparingly. If he really couldn't stop it,
It is also used when it is used.
"I see."
Shiwu glanced at Lu Bu. Now the defense of the city was almost entirely supported by Lu Bu. Since he had made such a choice, he could only obey unconditionally.
The Xuzhou Army did not move quickly because they were followed by twenty movable trebuchets. These were their weapons for victory, so they would rather move a little slower and ensure that they moved forward simultaneously with the trebuchets.
As time went by, the Xuzhou Army also stepped on the moat filled by the Jianzhong Army and reached the bottom of the city wall.
"Inform the general to go up the city wall."
As the news came from the city, the Fuchuan defenders who had been prepared for a long time also climbed up the city wall through stairs and ladders erected on the inner wall.
"Scatter bullets, three rounds, release."
Seeing the enemy soldiers climbing up the city wall, Yuan Wei smiled slightly, "Since you have come up, don't blame me."
Yuan Weijun gave an order, and the twenty trebuchets stopped instantly, and then directly fired the shotguns that had been placed in the ammunition bags.
The Fuchuan garrison who had just entered the city was caught off guard when faced with the sudden incoming shells. Hundreds of people fell into a pool of blood on the spot, and a large open space was immediately cleared.
"Defense, defense."
"It is indeed a trebuchet. It can be shot at such a close distance."
"Aren't they afraid of hurting their own people?"
Lu Bu was confused now. He had no idea that Yuan Shu's men would do this, sending trebuchets to fire at close range. This was a situation where he would injure the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred to himself.
Just when Lu Bu was confused, the Xuzhou army had already begun to charge. Aerial ladders were set up directly on the Fuchuan city wall, and then the soldiers began to climb the city wall with steel knives in their teeth.
"The enemy is coming, what should we do now?"
Seeing Lu Bu's confusion, Shiwu was a little depressed. Now you are still saying useless things, so hurry up and find a way to deal with it.
"what to do?
The situation is not good for us now. His trebuchet is so close to the city wall, and the soldiers dare to launch it even if they climb the wall. Isn't it because we have so many people on the city wall and the damage we have suffered, that we should exchange human lives for human lives."
Lu Bu had a good understanding of marching, and he immediately understood Zang Ba's thoughts.
Originally, they had the advantage of occupying the city wall, and there were more people on the wall than Yuan Shujun, but now the enemy has moved the trebuchet directly up. If they still want to fight with a sea of people offensive, they will face the indiscriminate attack of the trebuchet.
, your losses may be much greater.
"Then shall we change it now or not?"
After hearing Lu Bu's explanation, the soldiers also understood what the enemy meant.
"Change, must change. If there are still grass shields, let them continue to defend on the city wall with the shields. No matter what, we must defeat their anger. Otherwise, if Yuan Shu thinks this move is feasible, then he will always do this
It’s us who are in trouble.”
Regarding the doubts of the warriors, Lu Bu was categorical. He must defeat the enemy's offensive, otherwise it will be difficult next time.
"Well, let's fight."
Shiwu nodded, agreeing with Lu Bu's statement.
"Tell the soldiers to continue going up the city wall, and all the shield bearers to support me. No matter what, we must defend the city wall."
As Lu Bu's military order was issued, the Fuchuan defenders continued to guard the city wall with shotguns overhead, and launched an attack on Yuan Shu's army who was climbing up.
For a time, the city head of Fuchuan turned into a Shura field again. Not only were arrows flying everywhere, but also shotguns falling from the sky. Both the enemy and ourselves were covered in blood and flesh, causing heavy casualties.
Although the Xuzhou Army was a legion that joined the Jizhou Army later, their military quality and ordnance and equipment were not inferior to the regular legions of the Jizhou Army. However, facing Lu Bu's soldiers and horses who wanted to defend Fuchuan, they still failed to crack this hard nut. In the end,
He could only withdraw his troops in response to Zang Ba's sigh, withdraw his troops and return to the main army.
"Huh, have the enemies retreated?"
Seeing that there were no enemies rushing up the city wall, a soldier slumped to the ground.
"Retreat, we defended, we defended."
The soldier next to him also lay directly on the corpse without any scruples.
"The Jizhou army was nothing more than that. We were repulsed by us in both attacks."
Another person lay down, looking extremely tired.
As the soldiers collapsed on the city wall one by one, Lu Bu frowned.
"Instruct all soldiers to get down from the city wall immediately. Yuan Shu's trebuchets will attack immediately."
Lu Bu's military order was issued, and the soldiers who had collapsed on the city wall struggled to get up and began to rush towards the bottom of the city wall.
Sure enough, just as Lu Bu had guessed, the trebuchet attack soon appeared directly, smashing towards the city wall like a violent storm.
After all, they had already experienced it once, and the losses this time were not as high as expected. Only those soldiers who were injured and could not run were killed by stone bullets.
But this time it was obvious that Zang Ba's choice was right. Although the Xuzhou Army lost about 5,000 lives, the casualties on the opposite side were no less than 8,000, even worse than when there were trucks.
and.
"My lord, Zang Ba failed to capture Fuchuan. I hope my lord will punish him."
Zang Ba came to Yuan Shu's side and once again clasped his fists to accept the crime.
"It's okay. The little Fuchuan City can't stop us for long. Let's do this for today. The whole army will return to camp and continue to build siege equipment. We will fight again tomorrow."
More than 10,000 troops and horses were lost in the two sieges. Yuan Shu did not expect this, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was still difficult to siege the city by ladders alone without carriages, especially when facing Fuchuan City, which had sufficient troops and horses to defend it.
.
"promise."
Hundreds of thousands of troops slowly left the blood-stained Fuchuan City and headed towards their marching camp.
"Hurry and report to the general that Yuan Shu's army has withdrawn."
Yuan Shu's army left, and the soldiers on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.
"promise."
Immediately, someone ran down the city wall and came to the city gate.
"General, sir, Lu Bu's troops have withdrawn, withdrawn."
"Okay, okay, if you block today's attack, things will be much smoother in the future."
Lu Bu was also excited when he heard the news about the soldiers. To be honest, although his soldiers had repelled two attacks from Yuan Shu's army, the string was still tightening.
If Yuan Shu really sent troops to continue the attack, he was very afraid that the soldiers' strings would be broken directly, and there might be a large-scale defection incident.
Now that Yuan Shu's troops have withdrawn, he has given his soldiers time to rest. I believe that after the rest, these soldiers will definitely transform.
After experiencing such a cruel war, they have broken away from their immaturity at the beginning and become veterans who can fight.
"Well, why don't you reward the soldiers of the three armies today?"
