MTL - Farmer of Shu Han-Chapter 1182 Take a step back

   Chapter 1182 Chapter 1190 Take a step back

"shoot!"

"put!"

  Seeing that the Wei army had rushed within the range of the bow and crossbow, Sun Shao, standing on the height of the camp, immediately waved the flag and gave orders loudly.

   "Puffy!"

  The garrison of Wu State guarding in the camp immediately fired a large wave of arrows, falling on the heads of Wei Jun who was rushing towards him.

   Wei Jun who was running, many unlucky people screamed and fell to the ground.

   But more, with the small wooden shield, try to protect your vitals, and speed up before the second wave of arrow rain arrives.

   And those who followed them were soldiers carrying light ladders.

  At the same time, there were more than a dozen Wei soldiers, holding big poles, guarding the chariot and moving forward.

   "Your Majesty has just left, everyone must hold back the thief so that His Majesty can reach the ship safely!"

  Sun Shao continued to encourage the soldiers loudly.

  Wu Jun who stayed behind was naturally the most trustworthy soldiers.

  Hearing Sun Shao's encouragement, he also responded loudly.

  It's only thirty miles away, at most one day, and His Majesty will be able to return to the ship safely.

  By that time, nothing to worry about.

  Compared to Sun Shao's tenacious defense, Wang Ling was much more anxious.

  He really did not expect that Sun Quan was so vigilant.

   Calculating the time, the fine cavalry he sent to the flanks may have just appeared, and Sun Quan responded immediately.

   Now it seems that even if he really wants to capture Sun Quan, he must at least defeat the army left by the opponent first.

   To defeat the retreating army, you must first break through the camp on the opposite side.

"kill!"

   "After the camp is broken, if there are any resisters, no one will be left behind. However, if there is any property in the army, it will belong to the soldiers!"

  During these days of fighting against each other, Wang Ling had already figured out the approximate strength of the troops Sun Quan led ashore.

  After confirming that Sun Quan led the main force to retreat, Wang Ling believed that there would not be too many Wu troops left behind at this time.

  So he didn't even think about testing, let alone saving energy.

  The black army of Wei, wave after wave, kept rushing towards the camp of Wu army.

  Although the Wu army who stayed behind had a favorable location, the temporary camp fence surrounded by wood was ultimately inferior to the real city wall.

   Most of the temporary camps cannot be defended by soldiers standing on the walls like city walls.

   It can only be leaning against the wall of the village, setting up a ladder and the like.

  This results in thinner fletching.

   Wei Jun rushed to the front of the village, even without a light ladder, he could find a place to climb.

  But soon, Wu Jun, who was guarding behind the wall of the village, kept poking out spears from the gaps and holes left.

   Looking from a distance, the wall of the village looks like a hedgehog.

  The stab made Wei Bing scream.

"shelf!"

   With a loud shout, a light ladder of Wei Jun finally reached the wall of the village.

"superior!"

  A soldier led several subordinates, and pressed against the light ladder with all his strength, signaling to the people behind to rush up quickly.

  The people who followed closely understood, and climbed up directly holding the bow and crossbow.

  Wu Jun, who saw this scene inside, knew that the opponent was going to be condescending, and planned to suppress the village with a bow and crossbow.

   He was about to greet him, but saw that the only two or three arrow towers and watchtowers in the village had already concentrated a wave of arrows.

  At the same time, Wu Jun at the corner of the village also set up a ladder, and when Wei Jun just showed his head, before he could draw his bow and arrow, a long halberd knocked him down.

  Although many people died in the first few waves, once the Wei army rushed to the front of the village, the advantage of Wei's large number of soldiers began to play a role.

"one!"

"two!"

   "Boom!"

   Without the suppression of the crossbowmen in the camp, more and more Wei troops rushed forward.

   A simple cart made temporarily from a thick log was also pushed to the gate of the village.

  A dozen strong soldiers yelled in unison, and exerted their strength at the same time, smashing the car into the gate of the village.

   The collision between wood and wood made a tooth-sick creaking sound.

  Even the walls around the gate of the village were shaken off with a layer of dust.

   "Hang on!"

  General Wu Jun hissed loudly and led his men up to fight against it.

  It's a pity that the wall made of wood is full of places for rushing cars.

  Several vehicles crashed into each other at the same time, and somewhere in the camp there was a sound of being overwhelmed.

   "Boom!"

   "Wow!"

  The camp was finally knocked open a big hole.

"opened!"

  The soldiers of the Wei army who were closest to him didn't think much about it at all, and rushed in subconsciously.

  Unexpectedly, he rushed in half his body, and he flew out at a farther and faster speed.

   There are several blood holes on his body.

   "Stop it, plug it up!"

   Only Wu Jun was able to block this one, and there was another bang on the other side.

   This time, Wu Jun finally did not have time to block the influx of Wei Jun.

  Although the first few Wei troops who attacked first fell in a pool of blood.

   But it is obvious that Wu Jun's wall has begun to lose its hold.

   "Hold on, hold on!"

   The longer you delay, the better!

  Sun Shao, fifty-three years old, with long hair and beard, personally supervised the battle behind him with a knife.

  He also did not expect that Wei Jun's offensive would be so decisive and violent.

   It can also be seen from this that the thief Wei has a strong desire to pursue His Majesty.

   This made him secretly rejoice, fortunately he persuaded His Majesty to leave in time, if not, who knows if there will be any tricks behind?

   On the other hand, Wang Ling frowned.

  Although driven by no casualties, the Wei army seemed to have quickly entered the Wu army's camp.

   But Wang Ling knew that this was the beginning.

  Wu Jun's resistance was unexpectedly strong.

   But it's normal to think about it, after all, this is the forbidden army led by Sun Quan himself.

  Wang Ling looked at the sound of fighting coming from the Wu army camp in front of him, and thought of something, he clicked his tongue.

  Sun Quan was only a few tens of miles away from the ship, and the distance of these tens of miles was only one place suitable for ambush.

   It was the place where Man Chong had ambushed Sun Quan.

  The terrain was right there, even if Wang Ling did the calculations with his heart, but Sun Quan immediately ran away as soon as he saw the momentum, making his teeth itch, but he felt a little helpless.

  Sun Quanbei has committed crimes for so many years, and he has been defeated repeatedly, but he can always escape with his life and go back. It is not unreasonable.

   Now that things have happened, Wang Ling has to admit that Sun Quan is quite accomplished in escaping and saving his life.

   At least it was beyond my expectations.

  While thinking about it, there was another commotion in front of him, and the Wei army who attacked the Wu army camp was forced out again.

"what happened!"

  Wang Ling's heart trembled, and he shouted sharply, "Send someone to look ahead!"

   After a while, the sent sergeant came back and reported:

   "Reporting to the governor, a group of strong crossbowmen ambushed in the bandit village, and their sharp arrows could pierce through armor, forcing Xiandeng to retreat."

"What!"

  Wang Ling couldn't believe it when he heard the words:

   "Through the armor first?"

  He has seen a crossbow that penetrates armor at close range.

   But the armor worn by Xiandeng is the strongest protection in the whole army, which can block sharp blades and arrows.

  Put on this kind of armor, even if you are shot full of arrows, you can still keep uninjured.

  Wang Ling couldn't help blurting out:

   "What kind of powerful crossbow is it that can break through the thick armor first?!"

   "General, please take a look."

  The sergeant held an arrow in both hands and sent it to Wang Ling.

  As soon as Wang Ling picked it up, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

  Arrows are not only longer than ordinary crossbow arrows, but also weigh far more.

  Heavy arrows pierced armor, of course he knew this truth.

  But the heavier the arrow, the harder the crossbow needed.

  So what he couldn't figure out was, what kind of heavy crossbow could fire such heavy arrows?

   It can’t be said that the group of crossbowmen left behind by Sun Quan are all sharpshooters with extraordinary arm strength, right?

  Wang Ling had a lot of doubts in his heart, but the battle situation in front of him left him no time to think about it.

  But seeing him draw his command sword:

   "So what if the thieves have strong crossbowmen? Since they can't even guard the gate of the village, it means that the strong crossbowmen in Wu Kou's hands are nothing to be afraid of!"

   "Beat the drum! Continue to attack!"

  If Wu Jun has many powerful crossbows, why hasn't Sun Quan used them these days?

   More importantly, during the half-day attack on the camp, Wang Ling had received definite news that Sun Quan had indeed led most of his troops away.

  Just the soldiers and horses in the village, no matter how powerful the crossbow is, how long can they defend?

  Wang Ling was about to dispatch troops and prepare for the next wave of offensive when someone suddenly shouted:

   "Report!"

  Wang Ling already felt a little anxious in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately became impatient:

   "What's the matter!"

   "Captain, Shouchun urgent report!"

  The personal guard's tone was anxious, and at the same time, there were two people behind who were supporting a passer and rushed over.

   "Shouchun?"

  Wang Ling's heart sank, he stepped forward quickly, and asked in a hasty tone: "What happened to Shouchun?"

  Shouchun sent people to send news yesterday, only saying that Wu Kou sent people to attack Shouchun.

  At that time, Wang Ling was still in a cold sweat.

  But knowing that Yang Hong closed the city gate in time, and Wu Kou was only 20,000 to 30,000, he felt relieved.

  Yang Hong led 7,000 men to guard the city, and Tian Yu had 1,000 Runan soldiers.

  In addition, the walls of Shouchun City are thick.

   Not to say that nothing will be lost, but it is not a problem to keep it for ten days and a half months.

  So this is why Wang Ling ignored the arrangement and attacked today regardless of casualties.

  What he thought was to eat the current Wu Kou first, and then turn around to attack the Shouchun thief.

  Even if Sun Quan cannot be captured, at least he must make the opponent suffer from being dumb.

   Unexpectedly, it was only a day later that Shouchun sent another messenger to deliver an urgent letter.

  After inspecting the mud seal of the order talisman and the urgent letter, only the sweaty Chuan Qi with his lower body covered in mud gasped and said:

   "Captain, Wu Kou, Wu Kou sent people to dig Shaopi and flood the city with floods. General Yang, General Yang, please return to the army to rescue the city!"

  Wang Ling had just opened the mud seal, and when he heard this, his forehead suddenly thumped.

   After reading Yang Hong's letter with difficulty, Wang Ling's hands shook uncontrollably.

  My heart was beating violently, and there seemed to be no other sounds in my ears.

   It seemed like a long time, and it seemed only a while later, that Wang Ling asked with a trembling voice:

   "Thief... Is Shouchun City safe?"

   "Shouchun City is strong, and there is no major event, but General Yang said that Shouchun City should not be soaked by floods for a long time, otherwise it will be difficult to defend."

   "The thief...Sun Quan, this is the army of the whole country who committed the crime from the north!"

  Hefei, Lu'an, and Shouchun, it seems that Sun Quan mobilized all the troops he could use.

   I just don’t know if the troops from Jingzhou have been mobilized?

   "General?"

  Wang Ling regained his composure, and when he raised his head, he saw the Wu army barracks in front of him, which was broken but still standing.

   Look around at the generals who are still waiting for their order to attack.

   No wonder Sun Quan wants to use his body as bait, this is simply a serial trick!

  It seems that I have to take a step back first, and I will definitely lead the army back first.

"Why!"

  Wang Ling stomped his feet bitterly, closed his eyes, and said with difficulty:

   "Reorganize the army, come back!"

   At the same time, the outside of Shouchun City has become a vast ocean.

  The streets and alleys in the city are all soaked in muddy water below the ankles.

  When Shaopi was built, it could irrigate tens of thousands of hectares of land.

   In addition, Cao Cao personally supervised the farming, and even vigorously rectified Shaopi.

  The amount of water that can irrigate more than 10,000 hectares is suddenly directed to Shouchun City overnight.

  If it weren't for the strong walls of Shouchun City, it might not be able to withstand it for a day, and it would be washed down immediately.

  Faced with this sudden situation, even Tian Yu put aside his prejudices.

  Yang Hong led the troops to guard the city, while he led the army officials in the city to move to higher places.

  That's the case, Wu Thief's act of breaking through the water to attack the city also seriously hurt the morale of the city.

  And under such circumstances, I am afraid that the military officials in the city will not be able to hold on for too long.

   Firstly, it is not easy to eat and travel, and even to light a fire, you have to be careful to find a place.

  Secondly, the flood came too fast, and most of the supplies could not be rescued at all.

  Three times, in case the city walls of Shouchun suddenly collapsed, the defenders lost their most powerful support, and Wu Kou swarmed in several times.

   As for four…

  Looking at Wu Kou outside the city in the water like a fish in water, Yang Hong was very anxious. He only hated that his neck was too short, and he couldn't see where the reinforcements from Wang Dudu had arrived.

   "Great Governor, digging Shaopi to attack the city is really wonderful!"

  Quan Xu looked happily at the soldiers who were hurrying to build the car, and couldn't help admiring Quan Cong:

   "If it is normal, the sergeant pushing the chariot to attack the city will consume a lot of energy."

   "But when the flood comes, the wood floats on the water, so I don't know how much effort can be saved."

  Not only can the wood be pushed forward with the help of water power, but also the generals of the Great Wu are familiar with water.

   Compared with fighting thieves on flat ground, fighting on water has more advantages.

  Quan Cong didn't have much expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart:

   "We are running out of time, let the soldiers seize the time to build utensils. Also, we will temporarily block the Shaopi tomorrow, store some water, and release it on the day of the siege."

  Looking at the water level under Shouchun City, it is almost enough.

   Now that the weather has become hot, the city wall was first soaked in water, then exposed to the sun, then soaked in water again, and then hit by a car. Are you afraid that it will not fall?

   Quanxu and Quanduan hurriedly responded.

  After arranging the siege, Quan Cong called Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng, and ordered:

   "I expect Wang Ling to know that Shouchun is in a hurry, so he will desperately come to the rescue. The two of you will lead a part of the troops and deploy them on the shore of Feishui. If Wang Ling comes, he will try his best to stop him."

   Zhang and Gu knew that Quan Cong was planning to do favoritism again, and wanted to hand over the great achievement of breaking the city to Quan Xu and Quan Duan, and they couldn't help being very angry.

   It was just because the other party was the commander in chief of the army, the two had no choice but to take the military order and leave.
