Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters difficult to hold
Chapter 892: Hold on with difficulty
If you retreat, you will retreat. You can only organize troops and horses at the back first, and then order Zhou Yu to continue the attack with 5,000 men.
"promise."
After receiving Wu Yi's order, Zhou Yu also nodded, and five thousand soldiers and horses were ready to continue the attack when the defeated army returned.
"Sir, the enemy has retreated."
Seeing the enemy fleeing, the team leader directly moved to Zhang Qing's side.
"Don't be too happy. This is just the beginning. Order the soldiers to seize the time to rest, then knock down all the enemy's ladders and wait for the enemy's second wave of attacks."
Zhang Qing naturally knew that the enemy had retreated, but this was just the beginning.
"promise."
After receiving Zhang Qing's order, the militiamen leaned against the city wall and began to rest. At the same time, Zhang Bing led the young men he had recruited to transport rolling logs and rocks to the city wall and added gold juice, preparing for Wu Yi's second wave of attacks.
.
Seeing the defeated troops returning, Zhou Yu did not hesitate and led the soldiers around him to kill Chenggu's city wall.
"Here we come, ready to fight."
Seeing the enemy's second charge, Zhang Qing stood up from the ground and shouted at the soldiers around him.
"war."
"war."
"war."
One by one, the militia soldiers stood up from the ground and roared loudly to cheer themselves up.
"Fire the arrow."
As Zhou Yu rushed to the moat with his soldiers and horses, the arrows on the city wall were sprayed out again, violently shooting at the enemies who were charging forward.
"Don't stop, raise your shield and keep charging."
Seeing the rain of arrows shot from the city wall, Zhou Yu was not afraid at all and ordered the soldiers to raise their shields and continue charging.
With the same casualties and the same blood, Zhou Yu finally rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
"Charge the city."
Ladders were set up on the city wall one after another, and Zhou Yu directly ordered the soldiers to climb up the city wall.
"Rolling Stone,"
"Leimu,"
"Pour the golden juice."
Still the same rhythm, still the same method, Zhou Yu's soldiers continued to climb the city wall despite suffering huge casualties.
Just now, ten thousand people were not able to rush to the city wall, and five thousand people were not enough. After attacking for a long time, they still could not reach the city wall.
"Zhang Luo, how are the preparations going?"
Seeing Zhou Yu being suppressed, Wu Yi directly looked at Zhang Luo.
"Okay, you can attack the city at any time."
Hearing Wu Yi's words, Zhang Luo nodded towards him.
"Then let's attack the city."
Now that Zhang Luo was ready, Wu Yi nodded to him and directly ordered him to attack the city.
"promise."
Zhang Luo took the lead and led the eight thousand soldiers and horses who had just finished resting towards the city wall to kill them.
The eight thousand soldiers carried their shields and rushed directly to the city wall. When Zhou Yu saw Zhang Luo bringing people to support, he also expressed an expression. His five thousand soldiers really couldn't attack. Not only were there not enough ladders, but his soldiers and horses were too strong against the city wall.
The militia groups on the battlefield do not have an overwhelming advantage, so it is difficult to win the situation.
Sure enough, reinforcements arrived, and Wu Yijun immediately achieved good results. Despite the huge casualties, people began to climb the city wall. Although they would be stabbed to death by spears immediately, if one person fell, new people would rush forward.
Go to the top of the city and start a shopping spree with the militia.
Although there are far fewer people in the militia than Wu Yijun, their fighting spirit and morale are extremely high. Even if they are injured by a knife, they often continue to fight without caring. If the casualties are too heavy and they consciously do not forget to survive, they will hug them.
The enemies jumped off the city wall together and perished together.
Faced with such a tenacious militia, Wu Yijun's attempt to capture the city wall was unknown. However, as time went by, the casualties of the militia increased and more and more people boarded the city wall. However, the militia soldiers were still fearless.
The dead continue to suppress them.
"Sir, all the enemies are pressing forward. The pressure on the brothers is a bit high."
Seeing Wu Yi's entire army pressing forward and the enemy scaling the city wall, the leader's eyes showed a trace of embarrassment.
"Prepare the kerosene."
What Zhang Qing was waiting for was for their entire army to press forward. He did not have much fuel and could only use it at critical moments. Now was the time for the enemy's entire army to press forward.
"promise."
"Fire oil, throw it away."
Soldiers rushed to the city wall holding clay pots and smashed all the kerosene down.
As the earthen jar burst, the unpleasant smell of kerosene filled the entire sky.
,
"No, it's kerosene, retreat quickly."
Zhou Yu smelled the smell of kerosene and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat.
In fact, without Zhou Yu's order, the soldiers under the city wall knew what this was, and they all shouted and retreated.
"set fire."
One by one, torches fell from the sky and landed directly on the kerosene.
"boom."
A bit of flame ignited thousands of miles of fertile soil, and the ferocious fire dragon appeared directly under the Chenggu wall, covering all the soldiers who had not come and those who escaped in the flames.
"withdraw troops."
Looking at the fire dragons surrounding Chenggu Wall and the soldiers howling under the fire, Wu Yi's face turned pale and he directly gave the order to retreat.
Now he has no choice but to withdraw his troops. First of all, the soldiers have suffered too much damage and their morale is low.
In such a long time alone, he had killed almost four thousand people. Including the soldiers who had just been burned to death, almost a third of them had died before the city was broken. If the battle continued, he was afraid that he would really die.
The battle has been exhausted and we haven’t captured Chenggu City yet.
Secondly, he has now lost all his ladders, and there is no way he can fight again if he wants to. Can he really rely on stacking Arhats to attack the city?
"we won."
"Fighted them off."
"The Jizhou army is invincible."
Seeing the enemy's retreat, there was cheers from the top of Chenggu City. After all, they managed to withstand an attack of 15,000 to 15,000 with a force of 3,000.
"Don't be too happy. Clean the city wall first, throw down all the enemy's corpses, and collect the corpses of our brothers."
Although they fought hard and showed the spirit of the Jizhou Army in this battle, the casualties still cannot be underestimated. In the end, only 1,800 of the 3,000 people could stand here.
Among these 1,800 people, at best, they were only slightly injured. The truly seriously injured people all died together with the enemy without exception.
Now even though the enemy has suffered heavy losses, their strength is still strong, and the situation is still not optimistic for us.
"promise."
After hearing Zhang Qing's words, everyone changed from cheering to silence. Yes, although they won, they also paid a huge price.
Soon the corpses of Wu Yijun were thrown from the city wall one after another, while the corpses of the militia soldiers were collected.
The day's battle ended like this. Wu Yi led his troops back to build engineering equipment again, while the militiamen silently licked their wounds on the city wall, waiting for the enemy to attack again.
Wu Yijun did not attack the next day because there were not many trees outside Chenggu City and they were all cut down by him. Now if he wanted to build new ladders and other engineering equipment, he had to go further to cut down trees and build siege equipment.
This process lasted for one day, until the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the troops returned to the camp to rest and wait for the next attack on the city on the third day.
Just as Wu Yi and Zhang Qing were preparing to fight, a fast horse rushed directly to the foot of Nanzheng City and outside Xun You's camp after two days and two nights of running.
"who?"
Seeing a fast horse approaching, the soldiers and horses outside the camp immediately stood on guard with guns.
"Get out of the way quickly. Cheng Gu is reporting urgently, so why don't you get out of the way for me?"
The charging knight shouted directly at the camp gate.
"Open the village gate quickly and let him in."
Hearing that the other party was from Chenggu, the team leader at the gate directly ordered the village gate to be opened and let the man in.
"Crunch."
The heavy village gate was opened, and the scout was let in. After entering the camp, he did not stop and ran directly towards the direction of the Chinese army's tent.
"who?"
Seeing the scout running towards him, the guards standing outside Xun You's tent immediately drew their swords and stopped him.
"Quickly report to General Taishi Ci that General Wu Yi, under the command of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, has arrived at Chenggu City with an army of 20,000 people. I hope General Taishi Ci will send someone to rescue him immediately, otherwise things may change over time."
When the scout saw the guard, he knew he had found the real master, and directly told Cheng Gu's situation.
"What did you say?"
After hearing the scout's words, a voice slowly sounded from inside the tent, and then a thin figure opened the tent door and appeared in front of everyone.
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
When Xun You appeared, the guards at the door directly cupped their fists and saluted him.
"You said that 20,000 enemy troops appeared in Chenggu. Is this true?"
