Liu Bei suddenly noticed that fireworks were set off in all directions in the city, and exclaimed: "No, there is an insider in the city."
In an instant, Liu Bei panicked, the joints of his fists creaked, his expression became stiff and cold, his face became pale and weak, he felt lost and helpless.
Outside the city, there are one hundred thousand Shu troops attacking the city, they are brutal and ferocious, and they have countless sharp weapons. There are also internal responses from the Shu troops inside the city. Civil strife started at this critical moment, which makes things worse. As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. The menacing one hundred thousand Shu troops As soon as he launched his attack, Liu Bei was attacked from both inside and outside.
Such a situation made Liu Bei's heart beat like a knife.
He looked at Zhuge Liang, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and asked hurriedly: "Kong Ming, there is civil strife in the city, what can you do? If the situation in the city cannot be suppressed, the situation will be worrying!"
Zhuge Liang was well prepared and said calmly: "My lord, please feel free to deal with the situation outside the city. I have already anticipated that there will be civil strife in the city and have been prepared. There is no need to worry."
"Oh, really?"
Liu Bei was in high spirits, with a look of joy on his face.
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "My lord, didn't you notice that Gongyou and Xianhe are not here? Your humble position has already asked the two to command some soldiers to defend, and asked Wang Wei and Fu Xun to help suppress the situation. There will be no problem."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Only then did Liu Bei's stiff body relax, and he felt that the big stone weighing on his heart had fallen to the ground.
In just a moment, the underwear on his back was completely wet, which showed how nervous Liu Bei was.
Zhuge Liang's eyes fell on the Shu army outside the city and said, "Lord, the Shu army has attacked the city."
"I know, I know!"
Liu Bei immediately turned around and looked at the Shu army carrying the ladder. His expression suddenly turned cold and he shouted: "Fire the arrows, fire the arrows, shoot the invading enemy."
The Wengcheng of Xiangyang City is U-shaped and protects the gate of Xiangyang City.
Among them, the lower end of the U is facing the Shu army outside the city, and the upper part of the U is the gate of Xiangyang City. The inner part is like an urn, so it is called the urn city. If the Shu army wants to break the city, they must start from Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture Xiangyang without passing through the Wengcheng. But once the Shu army entered the Wengcheng, they would be attacked by soldiers from all directions. They were like a turtle in an urn.
However, when the Shu army attacked the Wengcheng head-on, the soldiers on the left and right sides of the Wengcheng could not be involved. They could only attack after the Shu army entered the Wengcheng. Only the protruding part could resist the Shu army's attack on the Wengcheng. These soldiers stationed at the front Only then could the defenders shoot with bows and arrows to kill the Shu soldiers who kept rushing up.
Even so, the bows and arrows fired from the city tower were as dense as rain, and they shot out in a swishing manner.
One by one, the bows and arrows gathered together, as densely as a downpour, making the moat outside the barbican suddenly darken, as if the sky had fallen, which made people feel frightened.
Although the bows and arrows were powerful, the Shu army outside the city had no fear.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
One after another, cloud ladders and long ladders fell to the ground, spanning the wide moat. The Shu army soldiers staggered on them and rushed forward quickly.
"Crash!!"
There was a splash of water, and a soldier said something and fell directly from the ladder.
He fell down to avoid the bows and arrows shot from the urn city, but before he could make a sound, he fell into the moat and had to swim across. In fact, there were many soldiers who fell into the water. After one fell, there were still more Countless soldiers continued to fall, the moat was almost splashing with water, and each soldier kept flopping in the water.
At the same time, cold-cold bows and arrows shot down and pierced into the soldiers' bodies.
"Poof! Poof!!"
Sharp arrow clusters pierced into the body, and blood spurted out, dripping into the water, dyeing the water red.
Liu Bei stood on the city tower and watched the Shu army being killed or falling into the water below the city. He was very excited and shouted: "Good kill, kill all these Shu army thieves, kill! Kill! Kill!"
!”
He screamed at the top of his lungs, like a madman.
"Clang!"
Liu Bei drew his long sword and pointed it at the Shu army below the city tower. He became furious.
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, looking a little surprised.
In Zhuge Liang's impression, Liu Bei was gentle, kind, a profound man, not fond of appearances, and had strong endurance. But now he was uncontrollably excited, which made him feel incredible.
But after Zhuge Liang thought about it, he seemed to understand Liu Bei's thoughts.
Both his foundation and his woman were destroyed by Wang Can.
Can Liu Bei be willing to accept such a situation? The answer is obviously no. At this time, Liu Bei was staring down with all his concentration and did not notice Zhuge Liang's expression. However, while he was still in high spirits, he discovered that there was another enemy in the Shu army camp outside the city.
A new weapon was rolled out, and his smile suddenly froze.
That expression seemed to be frozen in that moment.
However, after he saw clearly the situation below, he suddenly recovered and continued to laugh.
Because the weapons launched by the Shu army camp were not special and rare weapons, but ordinary catapults, used to throw large rocks to attack the city. The two warring parties were separated by a moat, and the Wengcheng still had a certain height. If you wanted to throw the huge rocks,
Getting to the tower of Wengcheng is not something you can just talk about.
Lu Meng commanded the army to charge and kill. When he saw the slings being brought out, he had a sneer on his lips.
Because what was put there was not huge rocks, but ignited gunpowder.
If soldiers throw gunpowder, it is impossible to throw it onto the tower, so they need to use catapults. Dozens of catapults quickly operate to throw the gunpowder out. Pack after pack of gunpowder flies through the sky and draws a parabola in the air.
It finally fell to the ground like a huge meteorite and exploded after landing on the ground.
"Boom!"
Continuous gunpowder fell on the tower, causing a commotion among the archers on the tower.
Suppressed by gunpowder, the archers were timid and did not dare to shoot forward for fear of being blown up.
Zhang Fei held a snake spear and protected Liu Bei behind him. He looked at the incoming gunpowder packets warily and said without looking back: "Brother, please step back a little more, or you will be blown up."
Zhang Fei stared with wide eyes at the soldiers who fell to the ground, already bloody and screaming in pain, and felt fear in his heart. Even though he was brave enough to be invincible, he could kill generals and capture flags, and he could fight in the midst of thousands of troops.
Take the head of an admiral, but he is only flesh and blood. If he is blown up by this thing, the result will be the same as that of an ordinary soldier.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were also like this, feeling scared.
When the gunpowder exploded under the city, they felt the vibration of the city tower, but they had not experienced it personally.
At this moment, the biggest shock was when the gunpowder exploded in front of my eyes.
Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "My lord, Lu Meng used sharp weapons to suppress the archers. We can't stop them from crossing the moat. The most important thing now is the battle inside the Wengcheng. If the Shu army cannot be suppressed in the Wengcheng, then it will be the most dangerous
In such a situation, what we need to do now is to use all our strength to suppress the enemy forces entering Wengcheng and annihilate them."
When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately ordered the archers to spread out and stand around the barbican city.
Once the Shu army entered the Wengcheng, they would catch turtles in the urn. But if they could not catch the turtles, but were killed by the turtles and entered the city, Liu Bei would be completely doomed, so the battle in the Wengcheng was crucial.
Lü Meng directed the battle outside the city. After the army crossed the river, he ordered the following soldiers to carry ladders across the river. Not only that, Lü Meng also ordered the soldiers to hold a shield on their head in their left hand and a sword in their right hand to attack. Only in this way can we
Blocks the bows and arrows shot from the city, effectively protecting the body.
After entering Wengcheng, the battle was very fierce.
Because this kind of siege was entirely done with the lives of soldiers. One hundred thousand troops quickly and ferociously stepped across the moat, rushed into the Wengcheng desperately, and began the most difficult siege battle.
At the same time, the battle in the city also began
Fireworks appeared in all directions, and then countless private soldiers gathered together to form a vast force and headed towards where Liu Bei was.
At this time, Wang Can, Dian Wei, and Shi A were all in the army.
This battle cannot be lost!
Wang Can was holding the Dragon Bird Sword, Dian Wei was holding two iron halberds, and Shi A was holding a long sword. The three of them led the private troops organized by various families to charge. On the way, they met Jian Yong and Sun Qian.
The defenders encountered it.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!
The fighting has begun!
