Just like on the wall of Wancheng city, Sun Cejun's camp also had a massacre. All the servants and soldiers were killed by Taishi Ci and his Danyang soldiers. Sun Ce didn't even spare his own family, the Wu family. In the eyes of the Wu family's head, Sun Ce personally sent him to his death.
Wiping the bloodstains on his hands, Sun Ce coldly said. "Zijing, is everything ready?"
"Reporting to Milord, everything is ready!" Lu Su cupped his fist and said. He no longer worshipped Sun Ce wholeheartedly like before. Instead, he now feared Sun Ce and wanted to keep him at a respectful distance.
Today, Sun Ce killed his family in order to annex his private soldiers, but what about tomorrow? Lu Su was afraid that Lu Su would be killed! This person was ambitious and was a hero of a generation. However, he was not Lu Zijing's wise master. After the Battle of Lujiang ended, Lu Su was prepared to return to Kuaiji. Perhaps that person had something that Lu Su needed.
"Then get ready to start!" Sun Ce also stood up. He took the helmet that was handed to him by a soldier and picked up his Hegemon of Western Chu and was ready to leave the tent.
"Milord, your injury!" Taishi Ci was a little hesitant. He was a general and knew the depth of the injury. Sun Ce's injury was a serious injury for an average person. Even if Sun Ce had broken through the body forging realm and was now a peak spirit refinement expert, but the injury was still an injury. It couldn't be healed in a day.
"Rest assured, Ziyi, I am fine!" Sun Ce waved his hand. He knew his injury. He also knew that it would take a hundred days to recover. He also wanted to rest, but time didn't allow him to. Today, he must break through Wancheng city. Otherwise, not to mention revenge, it would be a problem for him to retreat safely.
Looking at Taishi Ci's worried face, Sun Ce's heart softened. "I have my own considerations! Don't worry, Zi Yi. I, your lord, haven't brought you to dominate the world. How could I die in battle like this? " Sun Ce naturally had his own considerations when he dared to personally go into battle. Although Sun Ce had been charging at the front and retreating at the back, which was not what a lord should do, he was more like a general. However, this did not mean that Sun Ce was a fool. Would he do something that he was not confident in?
"I got it!" Taishi Ci nodded, then cupped his hands and left. He was not Lu Su, he was a general. He did not have the melancholy of those scholars, nor did he need to think about strategies. What he needed to do was to help his lord charge and break through the enemy lines. He was convinced by Sun Ce because of Sun Ce's personality, and more importantly, he was convinced by Sun Ce's willingness to let bygones be bygones.
Even if Sun Ce and Liu Mang had massacred tens of thousands of people, Taishi Ci would still not abandon them.
"Dong Dong Dong!" The war drums were once again sounded. Without those nobles holding them back, Sun Cejun became more and more formal. There were no more miscellaneous flags. In front of the Central Army, 5,000 Danyang soldiers and 10,000 ordinary soldiers were on standby.
In their hands, ladders and swords were ready. Even behind these soldiers, there were also large chariots. These chariots were also called cloud chariots. They were a kind of siege weapon. They were aimed at the gate of Wancheng city. Yesterday, because there was not enough time, they were not used. But today, after a day of battle, Sun Cejun took them to the rear. But now, he needed them to display their strength.
"Chariots!" Liu Mang held his binoculars and looked at one or two siege carts. In ancient times, other than conquering the city walls, the other way to besiege the city was to break the city gate. These siege carts were pushed by hundreds or even thousands of people to attack the city gate. The front end of the siege carts was made of iron sheet, which was extremely sturdy. Every time the siege carts hit the city gate, it would bring a huge impact.
"Beat the drums, march!" Sun Ce pointed his spear to the sky. Today, he must break the gate of Wancheng city. "Kill!"
"Kill!" The 5,000 Danyang soldiers were the first to bear the brunt. They were the elites of Sun Cejun. Naturally, most of the ladders were given to the Danyang soldiers by Sun Ce. Now, the Danyang soldiers were led by Taishi Ci. He was a refined god general, and his pair of halberds made people tremble.
"One thousand paces, eight hundred paces, seven hundred paces, six hundred paces, four hundred paces, three hundred paces!" Wancheng city's moat was buried by Sun Cejun during yesterday's siege. It could no longer stop Sun Cejun. Tens of meters of moat was rushed by the soldiers one after another.
"Release the arrows!" Liu Mang fiercely waved his hand. The moat was only a few dozen paces away from the city wall. It was just within the range of the arrows. In the beginning, Liu Mang wanted to attract more Sun Cejun to come up to the city wall. That was why he ordered the City Guard to attack Sun Ce. But now, it was impossible to use the same trick twice. Sun Ce also knew that there were heavy armored infantry in the city, so he chose to shoot everywhere. If Liu Mang put the 3,000 heavy armored infantry together, then he could only wait for Wancheng city to be broken. If he did not put them together, then not only would the heavy armored infantry not be a deterrent weapon, but because of their heavy armor, they would be weaker than ordinary soldiers.
"Aaaaaah!" The entire city wall was filled with arrows. Liu Mang's order was to scatter the arrows randomly. There were many arrows in Wancheng city, so he was not afraid that they would run out. He was only afraid that he would not have the strength to pull the bow.
Screams of agony and death rang out from below. Most of the soldiers who were shot were ordinary soldiers, but the Danyang soldiers kept swaying left and right. They were not dodging the arrows, but hiding behind the people in front of them, using the bodies of the people in front of them to block the arrows from hurting them. It was a classic case of dying friends rather than dying oneself.
So the ordinary soldiers were unlucky. Under Liu Mang's arrow rain, there were at least thousands of casualties.
So what if thousands of soldiers died? Sun Ce has soldiers and horses. Elite soldiers do not have a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers. Sun Ce also needs Liu Mang's Lu Bu's army to temper these miscellaneous soldiers. Those who can survive in this war are definitely elites. Sun Ce only needs half of these several tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers to survive.
"Go!" "Another battalion of ordinary soldiers were sent to the frontline. These were the private soldiers of the landowning households. They were still under the command of their respective masters a day ago. These private soldiers were all money in the eyes of the landowning households. Therefore, the landowning households wouldn't easily dispatch these private soldiers. These private soldiers were also happy to do so because they would die on the battlefield.
But at noon, Sun Cejun's troops were sent to them and told them that their masters had died on the city wall. They were now under the command of the Jiangdong Army. So it was difficult for them to escape from the city wall.
Although they were holding a broadsword, they could use the broadsword as a fork or a shovel. These private soldiers rushed towards the city wall.
The ladders were already placed on the city wall. Sun Cejun's soldiers were densely packed like insects.
"Uncle, what should we do now?" Among the Danyang soldiers, there was a battalion that was very active. They quickly rushed to the bottom of the city wall, but they did not climb up the ladders. Instead, they wandered around the city wall.
"We can do that! Don't go up the city wall! " Lin Danda- no, Chu Zhongtian gritted his teeth. There were only five thousand Danyang soldiers left. Their battalion basically did not suffer any losses. They occupied one-fifth of the Danyang soldiers. It would be too obvious if they did not move.
That's right, this was the Chu battalion of the Danyang soldiers. Each of them had a white strip around their arm.
"No way! It's too obvious! " Buttface was also at the side. The Danyang soldiers were the first to rush to the bottom of the city wall. But now, many other soldiers were already on the city wall. It was easy to see that they were still here. If one out of ten people was missing, it might not be obvious, but if one out of five people was missing, it was too obvious.
"Then what should we do?" Chu Zhongtian was also a little angry. "Do you want to go up the city wall and fight with the Third Great Master?" He had seen the battle yesterday and knew that there were not many soldiers left on the city wall. Especially when Sun Ce, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi went up the city wall, the Lvbu's Army was defeated. At that time, Chu Zhongtian was very worried about the safety of the Third Great Master.
Later, when Wan Cheng was defended, Chu Zhongtian was relieved. But now, they were going to attack the city again.
"No! We have to go up! " Buttface said seriously. These one thousand soldiers were wearing the Danyang soldiers' uniform. It was impossible for them to be mixed in with the rest of the soldiers.
"Huh?" Buttface's guess was right. They had already been noticed. Lu Su, who was standing in the middle of the army, frowned. Yesterday, this Chu Battalion had suddenly retreated after going up the city wall. Originally, Lu Su had thought that the enemy on the city wall was too strong, because all the other battalions had made progress, and only the Chu Battalion had retreated. This could only mean that the Chu Battalion had encountered a tough opponent.
But at night, Lu Su found that it was not the case. Of the ten thousand Danyang soldiers who went up the city wall, only five thousand came back. All the battalions had suffered losses. The ones that suffered the most losses had only a hundred people left. However, the Chu Battalion had less than a hundred people dead and less than a dozen injured. This was too abnormal.
In addition, an officer of the Left Battalion reported to him that there were people from the Chu Battalion kneeling on the city wall. They were Danyang soldiers. Even if they were Sun Cejun, they should be kneeling on Sun Ce and not on the city wall. Originally, Lu Su thought that the officer of the Left Battalion was jealous of the Chu Battalion because the two battalions were enemies. If they did not fight for a day, they would not feel comfortable.
But now, the scene made Lu Su suspicious again. What did the Chu Battalion want to do? The other Danyang soldiers had already gone up the city wall, but the Left Battalion was still lingering under the city wall. Could it be that the officer of the Left Battalion was telling the truth?
Just when Lu Su was thinking whether or not he should tell Sun Ce about this idea, the Chu barracks began to move. 800 people began to climb up the ladder towards the top of the city wall.
"Huh?" They went up the city wall? Lu Su's suspicions were dispelled. Could it be that he had wronged them? Just now, there were too many people in front of them. Lu Su shook his head. As long as they went up the city wall, it would be time for them to risk their lives.
"Kill!" More and more Sun Cejun rushed up the city wall. However, they were unable to break through the Lvbu's Army's defense.
The 3000 Black Flag soldiers took off their heavy armor. Heavy armor was too heavy. It was fine if they used it once or twice, but if they used it too many times, they might not even have the strength to hold a sword. Some of them changed into Urban Army equipment, and some of them directly wore cotton clothes.
When they wore heavy armor, they were heavy infantry. When they took off their heavy armor, they were elite soldiers. Wearing the City Guard's armor, the Black Flag Army mainly fought with brute strength. Their swords were thick and heavy. One of them dared to fight against several Danyang soldiers. The Black Flag Army soldiers who did not wear armor could not be underestimated. They were extremely flexible and without the protection of armor, Sun Cejun's swords could not cut them. This was because they were too fast and could always avoid Sun Cejun's attack. After dodging a sword, he would return a sword to Sun Cejun.
"Get ready to charge!" Sun Ce's big eyes looked at the movement on the city wall. The Danyang soldiers and the miscellaneous soldiers were unable to break through Wancheng city's defense. In the end, what kind of army was this?
Sun Ce knew about yesterday's City Guard. It was King Of Shu, Liu Mang's elite soldiers. They were well equipped and were good at joint attacks. The three thousand City Guard and five thousand miscellaneous soldiers were able to resist the attack of ten thousand Danyang soldiers.
Now, the army that appeared on the city wall, although they were wearing the City Guard's armor, Sun Ce knew that they were not the City Guard. The City Guard focused on joint attacks. Now, most of the troops were fighting on their own. Danyang soldiers were good at single combat. Danyang soldiers were good at single combat. You could not expect Danyang soldiers to fight in a battle formation. You could only expect Danyang soldiers to charge into battle formation.
But even so, Danyang soldiers were not the opponent of these mysterious soldiers. Often, the death of two or three Danyang soldiers was enough to injure one mysterious soldier.
Who were they? Formation Breaker? Sun Ce guessed that this was a heavy armored soldier. And the only heavy armored troop under Lü Bu's command was the Formation Breaker!
No! Sun Ce shook his head. The Formation Breaker was commanded by Gao Shun. Sun Ce did not see the figure of Gao Shun. Yesterday, Sun Ce almost killed Liu Mang. And Liu Mang was the little lord of the Lvbu's Army. If Gao Shun was there, it was impossible for him to not save Liu Mang.
If it was not the Formation Breaker, then who was it? When did Lü Bu have such a troop under his command? The Formation Breaker Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was already terrifying enough. Now with the addition of this black-clothed army, how much strength was Lü Bu hiding?
If Sun Ce knew that this troop was originally his, Sun Ce's, and was formed by the Zhou family in order to please Sun Ce, and also for the future of the Zhou family, to help him, Sun Ce conquer the world. But it was directly defeated by the prodigal son Zhou Cheng, and finally used by Liu Mang to deal with him.
If Sun Ce knew this, he would vomit blood. These 3000 elite troops were not only the culprits who prevented Sun Ce from entering Wan Cheng, but also the culprits who killed Sun Ce's troops.
The chariots began to move. Under the leadership of 5000 ordinary soldiers, they rushed towards the walls of Wan Cheng city. Now, Wan Cheng city was in chaos. Although the Danyang soldiers couldn't defeat the Black Flag army, they were still able to hold back the Black Flag army.
The Black Flag army was also killing the enemy, so they did not have the strength to take care of the chariots.
They did not even encounter a wave of arrows when the chariots arrived at Wan Cheng.
"Boom!" The first wave of attack began. Two chariots, one in front and one behind, slammed into the city gate. The chariots in front were wrapped in iron sheets.
The huge city gate made of thousands of years old wood and copper also issued a squeaking sound.
"Someone is hitting the city gate!" Huang Zhong was a veteran. He had experienced more battles than Liu Mang. Naturally, he could hear the sound of the chariots hitting the city gate. If the city gate was broken, then Sun Ce's tens of thousands of troops could only directly rush in. At that time, they would not be able to stop them.
"Little lord! Let me open the city gate and smash the chariots! " The only way to deal with the chariots was to rush out and smash them. But now, Sun Cejun was everywhere on the city wall. The Black Flag army had difficulty dealing with these people, so how could they have other troops to support the city gate?
"Humph!" Sun Ce's mouth curled into a sneer. He saw that the number of soldiers defending Wancheng city is too small. That is why he sent Danyang soldiers to attack Liu Mang. He wanted to drag Liu Mang down. If Liu Mang wants to defend the city wall, then these two battering rams will destroy the city gate. If Liu Mang wants to defend the city gate, then these two battering rams will not be able to defend the city gate.
"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, I want to see how you choose!" Sun Ce looked at the top of Wan Cheng city. Whether it was the golden figure breaking the city gate or taking down the city wall, it was Sun Ce who took down Wan Cheng city.
"Choose?!" While Sun Ce was looking at Liu Mang, Liu Mang was also looking at Sun Ce! That arrogant and overbearing figure could not be ignored.
