After returning to the formation, the generals began to make targeted adjustments, and the next step may be the real attack.

On Cao Jun's side, although the people withdrew, the trebuchets still kept throwing stone bullets into Shouchun City.

In the intensive bombing of more than 100 trebuchets, the turrets on the north city wall collapsed, and many battlements were smashed in half.

The city suffered heavy losses, countless houses were destroyed, and many soldiers who were resting in the city or waiting to go to the battlefield also suffered indiscriminate disasters.

In this state of panic dominated by the catapult, Yuan Jun's low morale began to gradually decline again.

Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, and Han Siam commanded the battle on the north, south, and east walls respectively.

Only Lei Bo stayed behind in the city, and was responsible for dispatching troops to the three places to support them.

Lei Bo had been a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's violent expropriation earlier. Seeing that the soldiers were in a state of panic, but Yuan Shu and the important officials of the court ran away with the wealthy wives and concubines first, his dissatisfaction gradually turned into resentment, "Yuan Shu. ..is he really worth our lives for him?"

About half an hour after the first attack, the drums of the coalition forces sounded again, and their second wave of attack came again!

With the first experience, the coalition soldiers moved much faster this time, and their goal was also very clear, which was to fill in some passages in the moat first.

When filling the moat, many civilians and soldiers died in battle. Some people who were more ruthless simply pushed their bodies down to serve as fillers...

The moat of Shouchun is both wide and deep.

Going back and forth several times, the coalition forces spent almost half a day throwing tens of thousands of bags and corpses into the moat, and the moat was finally filled with a few roads for soldiers to pass through.

Before even touching the city wall, the coalition forces had already suffered nearly [-] casualties.

In Liu Bei's army formation, seeing that a passage had finally been barely formed, but it cost the lives of nearly [-] soldiers, Zhang Fei finally couldn't help shouting, "Brother! We only have this few people, do we want to build them all here?" Under Bird City?"

Zhang Fei has an irritable temper, and he dares to say anything when he gets angry, "That damn Cao Cao, it's clear that he wants to consume our strength, brother, just..."

Before Zhang Fei could finish speaking, Liu Bei suddenly stopped talking: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!!"

Seeing that his kindness was not only regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, but also stopped by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei turned his head away a little unhappy, and sulked.

Seeing this, Guan Yu hurriedly intervened and said, "Brother, the third brother has always been irritable, and he said something from his heart. Please don't take offense."

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he turned to a reproachful tone and said, "Third Brother, you really need to correct your impatience. Hurry up and apologize to Big Brother."

Where did Liu Bei not know that Zhang Fei was telling the truth?

But everyone is attacking, so you can't just muddle along in order to preserve your strength, can you?

"It's time for the allied forces to attack Yuan Shu. Don't you see that the troops of Cao Cao and Sun Ce are also attacking the city regardless of the cost?" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with a bit of hatred, and explained: "If At the critical moment, I did not do my best because of selfishness, and was asked afterwards, how should I deal with myself? What will the world think of me, Liu Bei?"

Zhang Fei's face was a little hot after Liu Bei's words. Fortunately, his face was dark, but nothing unusual could be seen.

Guan Yu also took advantage of the situation at this time and said: "Yes, third brother, the eldest brother is a descendant of the royal family. If you don't even work hard to crusade against the false emperor, how can the eldest brother establish his own image and establish his prestige?"

Zhang Fei knew he was wrong, so Na Na bowed his fists and apologized, "Brother, Brother, it's my selfishness that caused it, I'm here to apologize to you."

"Third Brother, Big Brother didn't mean to blame you."

Liu Bei helped Zhang Fei up, and said earnestly:

"Brother just hopes that you can use your brain more and open up the pattern at the same time. Only in this way can you become a generation of famous generals in the future, not just a warrior who charges into battle."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching, brother, I've made a note of it."

Chapter 123 Crazy performance!

Sun Ce rode a war horse and stood in the army formation with Zhou Yu, overlooking Shouchun City from a distance.

After a while, Sun Ce suddenly turned to Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, do you think it's really worth it for us to shout for Cao Cao so hard?"

After hearing Sun Ce's question, Zhou Yu showed a slight smile on his face, and replied: "It's worth it. Although we are indeed doing our best to shout for Cao Cao, we are also earning applause for ourselves at the same time."

To perform hard and earn attention and applause, isn't that the purpose of their dispatch of troops this time?

Sun Ce reached out and touched the spear standing on the ground, and said with some self-deprecation: "Yes, in order to earn this damn applause, we have to kill tens of thousands of brothers!"

Zhou Yu watched another group of soldiers being shot to the ground by bows and arrows, and replied somewhat self-deprecatingly: "It is true that many brothers will die, but if you have no reputation, we will have difficulty moving an inch in Jiangdong, and it can even be said that our feet are deep in mud."

Sun Ce remained silent. Before this, he never thought that the family would be so difficult to deal with.

Zhou Yu once again analyzed for Sun Ce: "We started late. Without the help of the family, it would take a very long time for us to stabilize Jiangdong... If we wait until then, I am afraid that Cao Cao has already swept the world. .”

Zhou Yu's words reminded Sun Ce of the closed door he had received in front of the aristocratic family, and he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! I finally understand why Cao Cao suppressed the gentry.

Those scholars with eyes on the top of their heads always think that they are superior to others.

Believe it or not, a certain day will make them bow their heads and bow their heads, and lower their invincible heads! "

"I believe." Zhou Yu smiled lightly, and then said: "But at least we have to lower our stance first."

In the hearts of Jiangdong scholars, Sun Ce was dispatched by Yuan Shu to launch this war.

At the time, Sun Ce's immediate boss, Yuan Shu, was the most ambitious among the heroes in the late Han Dynasty, and he was also the first prince to brazenly proclaim himself emperor.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Jiangdong gentry and even the common people, Sun Ce is a complete invader, a traitor who rebelled against the Han court.

In addition, what Sun Ce was fighting against was Liu Yao, a descendant of the royal family of Yangzhou governor, and officials appointed by the local courts. This also means that Sun Ce's war was not just, and he was an illegal invader.

Moreover, the young and energetic Sun Ce overemphasized force in the process of attacking the Jiangdong counties, and brutally suppressed the Jiangdong clans who resisted him.

In the process of attacking Lujiang before, Sun Ce also forced to death Lu Kang, a respected nobleman leader in the Jiangdong area, and brutally massacred hundreds of members of the Lu family clan. Said it was hatred.

And not only the Lu family, but also the Sheng, Zhou, Wang, Zou and other big families were persecuted and even killed by Sun Ce successively.

In this way, Sun Ce was happy to kill, but when he wanted to stabilize the rule of the Jiangdong area, he found that no one was willing to help him or even violated it, so Sun Ce once again raised the butcher knife against these aristocratic families.

Later, even Zhou Yu couldn't stand Sun Ce's actions, and Zhou Yu dragged him to have a good discussion, and Sun Ce realized the serious consequences of his willful actions.

It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

No one came to help him govern Jiangdong, so what is he talking about fighting for world hegemony?

Therefore, in order to seek talents, Sun Ce began to lower his profile and take the initiative to discuss cooperation with the Jiangdong family.

However, whether it was the most famous family in the Jiangdong region: the four surnames Lu, Gu, Zhu, and Zhang, or other large, medium and small families, they all adopted a closed-door attitude towards Sun Ce.

Sun Ce repeatedly hit a wall in front of the aristocratic family, and no one was willing to serve him, so he finally couldn't sit still.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Zhou Yu asked Zhou Yu for advice. At this time, Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shu and invaded Xuzhou's army.

Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce respond to the emperor's edict to send troops to attack Yuan Shu. As long as the emperor gives Sun Ce a formal official status, this will be the best opportunity to wash away his negative impression of an invader and a massacre.

Seeing the changing expression on Sun Ce's face, Zhou Yu said again, "Bo Fu, remember that those who achieve great things must know how to endure."

Sun Ce nodded and replied, "I understand, I'm just a little unwilling..."

For his own hegemony, Sun Ce finally chose to bow his head to the aristocratic family that he had slaughtered like chickens and pigs before.

"Now that you understand, let's keep singing this scene." Zhou Yu looked at his elder brother with satisfaction, and said in his heart, "I'm getting more and more mature, and I'm getting more and more like a wise gentleman."

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu personally led [-] troops to help the battle. Compared with Cao Cao's inevitable victory over Shouchun, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu only wanted to cheer for Cao Cao, and then took the opportunity to ask for an official status.

The goal of this attack was almost achieved, so Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, the moat has already filled in several passages, and the real battle is about to begin."

Sun Ce grabbed the spear sharply, held it upside down in his hand, and replied, "No problem, I will lead the charge."

......

At noon, after the soldiers had eaten and rested, the real siege battle would begin.

"Siege!"

"Siege!"

After a short rest, the coalition forces began to attack again, and this time, they will enter the most tragic battle for the city wall!

Following the sound of war drums, the soldiers carried the ladders and crossed the moat after paying a high price.

A ladder was erected on the wall, and the siege of Shouchun was officially kicked off.

Liu Bei dispatched Zhang Fei, while Sun Ce went out himself. Cao Cao had Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Le Jin attack the city.

But when the soldiers of the coalition army arrived at the city, what awaited the coalition army was a more terrifying tool for defending the city than bows and arrows.

A large number of rolling wood and rocks were thrown from the top of the city. These heavy city defense props could not be blocked by the thin wooden shields or iron shields in the hands of the soldiers.

Pieces of stones the size of a human head fell like raindrops, and many soldiers not only had their shields torn apart, but their heads were also smashed to pieces.

There is also the rolling log carefully prepared by Yuan Jun,

When the coalition soldiers tried to climb up the ladder, a thick and long rolling log rolled down the city wall and the ladder, and it was a large piece when it rolled!

Seeing the strings of enemy soldiers being knocked down from the ladder, many of Yuan Jun's soldiers on the city wall couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Come on! Climb up if you have the ability!"

"Your grandfather is here, if you have the ability, come and kill me!"

"Hahaha! Returning the coalition forces, you only have this little strength?"

......

"Hey! Ignorant bastard, eat me!"

"Woo!!!"

There was a terrifying whistling sound, and the group of soldiers who were still teasing the coalition forces suddenly felt themselves flying into the air!

Zhang Fei didn't know when he killed the city wall, and began to kill Yuan Jun's soldiers on the city wall, making a foothold for the soldiers behind him!

"Jiangdong Xiaobawang is here, Qiao Rui will come out and die soon!!!"

And from the north, a sharp shout suddenly came: "The heavy crossbowmen come out quickly, and shoot these three lunatics (Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Le Jin) off the city wall for me!!!"

Chapter 124 The founders of the Three Kingdoms are alive

The siege battles in ancient times have always been very tragic.

Especially when facing a fortified city like Shouchun, which is tall, deep, and well-defended, it is not a problem to besiege the city for a year or two.

However, the coalition forces did not hesitate at all, and took the initiative to attack as soon as they came up.

The morale of the coalition forces was high, and it only took half a day in the morning to fill in several passages on the moat. The next thing to overcome was the biggest difficulty of the city wall.

Facing the three-sided siege of the coalition forces, the first thing Yuan Jun had to do was to destroy the enemy's ladders and reduce the number of enemies climbing the city walls.

However, the strong generals of the allied forces who acted as the first to attack the city were very powerful, and the Yuan family soldiers were powerless to resist, so they let them take the lead in attacking the city.

However, it is not a big problem for one or two strong generals to come up. As long as the generals on the city wall are blocked and they are not allowed to widen the gap, they will still be driven down sooner or later.

Anyway, they can't let them stand firm, otherwise the siege soldiers behind him will continue to come up to the city wall.

Zhang Fei and Sun Ce are fine, while Han Xian and Qiao Rui can command and deal with them freely.

But Ji Ling's side was facing the strong general of Cao Jun, which made Ji Ling feel a little scared.

Thinking about the Lu Yan I met before, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others under him did not appear on the stage. The Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Le Jin sent by Cao Cao alone scared Ji Ling into a cold sweat, "Cao Cao There are so many fierce generals under his command!"

If it hadn't been foresaw that Cao Jun would have many strong generals, and had already prepared two thousand heavy crossbowmen, maybe this time the three of them would really have stood their ground.

Looking at the extremely bloody fighting scene around those three people, maybe three bloodthirsty monsters were sent up?

But no matter how fierce the general is, he is still a mortal body after all.

Facing the volley of [-] crossbowmen, even the innate Lu Yan and Lu Bu dare not challenge them, let alone Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Le Jin, who are only first-class and first-class fighters.

"Crossbowmen ready!!"

With Ji Ling's order, the two thousand heavy crossbowmen were divided into three parts, and they all aimed their crossbow arrows at the three generals Cao.

Fortunately, the three of Dian Wei and the others reacted quickly. Before the enemy's crossbowmen shot their arrows, they all jumped out of the city wall cleverly, and slid down the ladder to the foot of the city.

But the heavy crossbowmen didn't intend to let them go just like that, they chased to the wall pile one after another, raised their crossbow arrows and fired randomly at the bottom.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Le Jin escaped desperately.

But there were a few crossbow arrows stuck in their backs, arms, and thighs, but judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to care much.

Not only Cao Jun's side, but Sun Ce and Zhang Fei were quickly smashed down the city wall by Yuan Jun's soldiers with large shields.

After there were no spoilers on the city wall, Yuan Jun's soldiers could calmly deal with those Cao Jun who were trying to climb the ladder.

The coalition soldiers under the city wall gathered more and more, and the ladders were continuously built on the city wall.

General Yuan Jun saw the opportunity and finally ordered the boiling oil to be poured from the top of the city.

The boiling oil can not only burn the skin of coalition soldiers to pieces, but the most important thing is that it can catch fire!

After the foot of the city wall was almost covered with boiling oil, one after another torches were thrown from the city wall by Yuan Jun's soldiers.
