In the sky to the west of Wuchang City, rockets were densely shot out from the top of the city. These rockets dipped in kerosene hit the vegetation on the ground and the leafy trees that the defenders had previously launched with catapults, and immediately turned into a blazing fire, exuding a radiant glow under the scorching sun. Unbearable heat.
Xin Zhao didn't bother to deal with his wounds. He asked his soldiers to bring a soft couch and sat on it leisurely. He held a fan in his hand and shook it slightly, looking at the people under the city gate. situation. Two maids sent by the Wuchang prefect who was afraid of death stood behind Zhao Xin, each holding a huge parasol engraved with the pattern of dragon, dragon, Luan and phoenix to block Xin Zhao from the sun. Annie seemed to have suddenly become much quieter. Her face looked a little strange, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She moved a short table and sat next to Xin Zhao, her big eyes staring blankly at the sky without a single cloud, and her mouth tightly closed.
There were shouts and curses from Liu Bei's army outside the city, making Xin Zhao's mouth curl up slightly. His strategy was still very effective. The sudden fire clearly exceeded the Shu army's expectations, and their dense formation allowed the fire attack strategy to be used most effectively.
Under the city, Liu Bei's face was full of embarrassment and anger, which was in perfect contrast with Huang Zhong, who was secretly annoyed next to him. Later, Wei Yan frowned as he listened to his subordinates' report on the situation of the siege equipment being destroyed by the fire. After listening for a few words, he gritted his teeth and looked at the top of the city. Obviously, Xin Zhao had caused him a lot of losses this time. . Huang Zhong, on the other hand, patted his Yangyougong with a sigh on his face. This general from Soochow. How could it be possible to avoid his fatal arrow? He stroked his snow-white beard and couldn't help thinking: "Am I really old?"
Zhao Yun was the one with the most complicated expression. Seeing Xin Zhao dodge the arrow, he really let out a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly rested in his stomach. However, Xin Zhao's subsequent rocket offensive caused a lot of losses to his men, which made Zhao Yun hate Xin Zhao with itch. Is this supposed to be acting? Did you even use fire attacks? However, he glanced sideways at Huang Zhong, who was still annoyed, and immediately forgave Xin Zhao in his heart.
Among the Shu camp, the most calm person may be Zhuge Liang. He was sitting in a four-wheeler. Like Xin Zhao, there were two girls behind to cover the sun, shaking fans in their hands. He gently fiddled with his goatee and said, "This person is really smart, and he can actually come up with such a fire attack." Fa, not bad, not bad!¡±
Zhuge Liang was not worried at all. He ordered the soldiers of Shu to disperse along a specific route. Just outside the shooting range of the Soochow archers, their formation turned into a mysterious and complex fish scale formation. Although the fire still did not weaken, it had no impact on the Shu army.
This made Zhao Xin, who was watching the movement of Shu soldiers on the city wall, very depressed. He first spent a lot of effort to cut down so many big trees, and then threw those big trees down with catapults, and finally caught fire. The rocket of oil was ignited, and the little advantage that had been created with so much effort was gone in the blink of an eye by Zhuge Liang.
However, Xin Zhao had to be convinced. In addition to the unique skill of cutting off the queen, Zhuge Liang is best at fire attacks. The fire burned Bowang Slope. Burning Xinye and burning Chibi, he used three fires to burn out a large area of ??Liu Bei's foundation! Later, the Burning Vine Armor Soldier was spread in the annals of history. Zhuge Liang can be regarded as the ancestor of using fire. It is reasonable that Xin Zhao's fire attack did not achieve the results it should have.
The fire was extinguished in a short time. The Shu army once again gathered in a dark mass. Like ancient giant beasts, they slowly pressed towards the west gate of Wuchang City. They only chose one west gate as the direction of attack, while the other gates didn't even have one or two suspicious soldiers. Therefore, Xin Zhao transferred half of the troops defending the other city gates to the west gate to participate in the defense. All five thousand people stood densely on the top of the city.
At this time, the Shu army began to advance. They were led by heavy infantry armed with large shields, while cavalry flanked the sides. Liu Bei's central army and light infantry followed slowly. Finally, there were the siege troops led by Wei Yan and the baggage train led by Guan Ping.
Xin Zhao immediately ordered the arrows to be fired! Although he knew that these bows and arrows had basically no lethality in front of the opponent's large shield, Xin Zhao could only choose this method. Zhao Yun looked at Xin Zhao's order and shook his head with a wry smile. He knew exactly what Xin Zhao was worried about. Zhao Yun had been on the battlefield for a long time. Wei Wei knew at a glance that these soldiers of Xin Zhao were just new recruits. In order to maintain his own strength, his precious apprentice Zhao Xin would not let these poorly trained soldiers. The little guy goes out to fight!
However, Zhao Yun exchanged places with Xin Zhao, but he couldn't think of a better way. After all, it¡¯s hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. Without a well-trained elite soldier, no matter how good theTactics cannot be executed either. Xin Zhao¡¯s choice was not wrong at all.
The arrows on the city were like locusts crossing the border, and they were shot hard at Liu Bei's army without leaving any gaps. However, just as Zhao Xin imagined, this behavior did not cause much damage to the enemy. . When the bow and arrow came into contact with the shield in the hands of the heavy infantry, it could only make a clanging sound and fell to the ground. Very few arrows can penetrate the formation of connected large shields and cause damage to the Shu army!
Xin Zhao shouted furiously on the tower: "Stop shooting arrows!"
He rolled up his sleeves, bit his lip, and shouted, "Bring up ten ballistas for me! Quick!"
With no more arrows, the generals of Shu began to advance quickly. They had already run 500 meters in a short time. At this time, the ballista that Xin Zhao requested was finally carried up the city wall.
Zhao Xin pointed at the soldiers of Shu who were advancing rapidly and in a loose formation below, and shouted loudly: "Now, tell me that the back of the ballista is raised, and the net is shot hard! At the same time, the archers continue to shoot!"
The subordinates all responded in unison! The speed of an archer is much faster than that of a ballista. After all, archers don't want the trouble of debugging a ballista when shooting! So, when the arrows started shooting from the top of the city. The formation of the Shu army became denser again, which made Xin Zhao on the top of the city smile.
I¡¯m just afraid that you won¡¯t squeeze together! He watched as the crossbow carts were slowly pulled up, and then under the control of several soldiers, nearly two-meter-long crossbow arrows were launched like rockets! This crossbow arrow produced a long afterimage in the air, and then except for one crossbow arrow that was a little off-kilter, the other nine crossbow arrows effortlessly passed through the roughly fifty centimeter-thick missile. The shield strung together a series of soldiers hiding behind the shield
"It's great!" Xin Zhao patted the city wall and stood up excitedly. He took out the bow and arrow himself. After thinking about it, he finally gave the other party no chance to laugh at his archery skills.
Shu's formation was once again dispersed due to concerns about the crossbows on Xin Zhao's side, but once the formation was dispersed, the heavy infantry's large shields could no longer protect the friendly forces in the rear. Xin Zhao finally caused damage to the Shu army below.
After all, it is much easier to defend a city than to attack it. It is impossible to come to the city gate and start attacking the city without any losses. After all, tall city walls and solid fortifications are not for display.
The Shu army simply began to charge. They rushed to the city gate of Wuchang regardless of their own safety. Soldiers were constantly being killed by arrows shot from above, and there were also some undoubtedly strong soldiers. Still able to move freely in the rain of arrows. These more powerful soldiers, together with those generals with good martial arts skills, led the soldiers behind them and quickly approached the top of Wuchang City. After all, the Shu army had a large number of people. The formation of tens of thousands of people spread out and surrounded Wuchang City like a tide. Then Wei Yan led the engineering troops and braved the rain of arrows to transport stones one after another, constantly filling the gap. Not a very deep moat.
The number of casualties among Shu soldiers increased rapidly. However, the soldiers of Shu continued to advance without fear of death. Within 500 meters of the city wall, the bodies of Shu soldiers were piled up, but there was no look of fear on their faces, as if those who died were not their comrades, but had nothing to do with them. Like a wild wolf or rabbit.
The moat was quickly filled in, and the siege ladders were set up one by one on the walls of Wuchang City.
Wei Yan shouted loudly, and a dozen soldiers behind him pushed the crash cart to the gate of Wuchang City.
"Boom!" The car started to hit the city gate.
Xin Zhao drew his two-pronged sword on the city wall, and then overturned a siege ladder. Shouting loudly: "Stones! Boiling oil! Use these things to serve them!"
Several soldiers on the city began to throw huge stones downwards. The people on the ladder were knocked to death the moment they came into contact with the stone, and the ladder was also hit by the stone weighing several kilograms. Break it all at once. The other soldiers picked up a pot of boiling hot oil, thinking that a group of Shu soldiers who were climbing on a ladder towards Wuchang City fell down! Several howls. Those soldiers covered their faces, eyes and other burned parts, and fell down wailing!
The two reserve teams of the Wu State below also came in handy at this time. They held the city gate that was attacked by the car crash at the city gate. Every time the car crashed, the soldiers who blocked the city gate with their bodies were shocked. They took a few steps back, but before the next attack, they all blocked the city gate with their bodies and defended it from being breached!
A general of the Shu army did not use a ladder. He used up his internal strength, took a deep breath, and jumped down as if his whole body was weightless.Finally, after using some strength on the city wall, I climbed onto the city tower! Then, he went straight to Xin Zhao!
He actually thought that if he killed this general of the Wu army, the soldiers of Soochow would definitely be in chaos! Maybe he was very confident in his own force, or maybe he didn't see clearly how Xin Zhao received Huang Zhong's fatal arrow. In short, when Zhao Yun saw this scene, he showed a sympathetic smile.
Xin Zhao was also stunned. If he just came to kill a few soldiers, Xin Zhao would completely understand. However, he actually came to assassinate himDoes he look like a waste? Although, Xin Zhao was indeed a scumbag with less than five combat abilities
The general just held a single sword in his hand. He took three steps and two steps at a time. The sword in his hand slashed towards Xin Zhao with a loud sound. However, Xin Zhao's sword did not mean to fight with this general head-on. Instead, he turned it around in his hand. He smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth, activated his internal power, and a seven-foot-long sword light rose from the edge of his sword. Suddenly it popped up!
The sword moves lightly and the sword moves thickly, the sword technique and the sword technique are strong. Although they are both individual weapons, their styles are completely different. As Xin Zhao's strength increased, his swordsmanship also began to become more decent. Xin Zhao smiled, obviously very satisfied with his sword.
Xin Zhao was very satisfied, but the general of Shu on the opposite side almost had his eyeballs popped out! He originally thought that this young general from the Wu Kingdom was unknown, so he couldn't catch him? He really didn't know that Huang Zhong's desperate arrow was blocked by this "little-known" young general. What's more, he didn't know that the young general in front of him was Zhao Yun's apprentice and had received the true inheritance of the Changshan lineage.
So, he opened his mouth wide. Before he even said a word, his head was already flying high into the sky! Even in the air, his face was still full of fear and confusion! The soldiers on the city began to cheer, and Xin Zhao also laughed! Without Huang Zhong's arrow, he would never have killed the general of the Shu army. However, since he was almost killed by the cold arrow of the Shu state, then there would be nothing wrong with the young general with a questionable IQ taking action to vent his anger. It matters.
You are unkind. I am unjust. That's it.
After killing the Shu army general, Xin Zhao restrained his smile. There was a thoughtful look on his face.
He suddenly discovered that he had always had a misunderstanding, that is, he belonged to Shu. But, is this really the case? I have been misled by the information in this world. In fact, he did not have any formal official position in Shu. Although Zhao Yun once wrote to Liu Bei, Liu Bei only gave him an informal sinecure. Zhao Yun and he are indeed in a master-disciple relationship, but do masters and apprentices have to work in the same country? Therefore, he definitely does not belong to Shu. He cannot regard Shu as his backing in this world.
Similarly, although Zhao Xin is a general of Wu State, he definitely does not belong to Wu State. Once it is revealed that Zhao Yun is Zhao Xin's master, he, Zhao Xin, will never be reused in the Wu Kingdom.
Xin Zhao thought for a while and finally understood one thing, that is, he was still an outsider. I trusted the Shu Kingdom too much, so I almost suffered death.
This world of the Three Kingdoms is the first world that Xin Zhao has come to without pressure. A world without clear tasks is also a world without saying "if you fail to complete the task, you will be obliterated." At first, he always thought that this world was a reward level with no danger, but Huang Zhong's arrow woke him up.
There is no world without danger! Because there is no pressure in this world. This made Xin Zhao, who was fighting in other worlds and struggling to survive on the world front, gradually fall in love with the life here. However, Xin Zhao found that he was very wrong.
He suddenly looked at Anne and said, "Do you think if I were captured by people from Shu, would they kill me? Even though Zhao Yun is my master?"
"Probably notbut I can't guarantee" Annie squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and finally said: "I always think you have changed"
Xin Zhao shook his head and said: "It has indeed changed. I can feel it myself." He stopped talking. He couldn't guarantee it. This sentence explained everything. This is still a mission world, except for the consequences of not being wiped out. , other dangers still exist.
If it were the previous Xin Zhao, after understanding this, he would definitely be more cautious. But now Zhao Xin doesn't know why, but he suddenly has a desire to vent! He looked up to the sky and roared angrily, suddenly realizing that he no longer wanted to live a life where life and death were beyond his control.
Maybe he doesn¡¯t have the strength now, but he knows that one day, he will be able to control his life. But now, he is no longer the one who had no ability to protect himself at all, or at all.Now we have Xin Zhao who is capable of fighting.
He suddenly found that his desire to vent was completely uncontrollable, and his eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun, his master, was an outstanding figure during the Three Kingdoms period. The famous battle was the seven-in-seven-out battle at Changbanpo, killing dozens of generals of Cao's army, carrying a baby in his arms, but not getting hurt himself! So, now that Xin Zhao's strength is equal to that of Zhao Yun, why can't he go crazy in this era? Xin Zhao gritted his teeth, suddenly tightened his grip on his double swords, and then jumped off the city wall with a vertical leap!
Zhao Yun can go in and out at Changbanpo seven times, but can Xin Zhao kill everyone outside Wuchang City? he does not know! He knew it was dangerous, but
¡°Would it be safe if he didn¡¯t do this? Before Zhao Xin landed, a sword had already beheaded a Shu soldier! Blood splashed everywhere, but Xin Zhao excitedly licked the blood from his lips and showed a cruel smile.
He didn¡¯t hesitate, and with another backhand sword, he took off the head of another soldier. The third sword thrust out at the same time like a wandering dragon, and penetrated into the chest of a Shu army. Zhao Yun struck out more than thirty consecutive swords in the Shu army in one second, and had already taken fifty lives!
Xin Zhao was covered in blood, but he burst out laughing! A kind of comfort that he had never felt before instantly penetrated his heart! A dark force, like the power of his shadow, slowly filled his brain, and Xin Zhao began to enter a state similar to unconsciousness. His internal force naturally circulated endlessly, giving birth to endless waves in a cycle. He provides great strength.
He touched the ground as lightly as a dragonfly, and his body floated towards the Shu army's collision
"How dare you, little thief!" Wei Yan's voice rang out!
