"Are you ready to be afraid?" Sun Ce said with a smile on his face. The 3000 arrows were soaked in oil. When the Danyang soldiers retreated, they left a lot of jars on the city wall. These jars were broken by them and the liquid that flowed out from the jars permeated the city wall.
"Oil?!" Liu Mang's eyes widened as he looked at the black liquid that permeated the city wall. It was sticky and smelly. Isn't this oil?
"This is alchemical fire oil!" Huang Zhong said in a calm voice. He did not know what oil Liu Mang was talking about, but he knew what was flowing on the ground. Sun Ce was going to use fire to attack the city!
Huang Zhong couldn't allow his well to shoot anymore arrows. Huang Zhong nocked the steel arrow in his hand. Huang Xu's ballista also nocked the bowstring with the help of a hundred black flag soldiers.
"It's the Chu barracks again!" Lu Su once again focused his attention on the Danyang soldiers' Chu barracks. In the past three days, 7000 of the 10000 Danyang soldiers were killed and only 3000 were left. Half of each barracks were killed and some were even wiped out. But this Chu barracks had more than 800 soldiers. Once or twice, it was understandable because the barracks commander was good and the soldiers were strong. But three or four times, it was not right, especially when the other barracks were wiped out.
There was something wrong with the Chu barracks! Lu Su's eyes flashed. There was definitely something wrong with the Chu barracks. Danyang soldiers! Chu barracks! Did they defect to the enemy? No, if they defected to the enemy, they would directly attack the enemy. The Danyang army would suffer heavy losses and Sun Cejun would also die. With more than 1000 soldiers defending the city, the Lvbu's Army would be happy to death.
Not to mention, the Danyang soldiers were recruited from Danyang County. If they rebelled, they would not be afraid of Sun Ce's revenge. No matter how aggressive the Danyang soldiers were, they were not the opponent of a warlord.
Then what was the reason? Lu Su thought of the words of the Left Barracks' commander. The Chu barracks once knelt down in front of the Lvbu's Army! Who in the Lvbu's Army could make these ruffian soldiers kneel down? If it was a high ranking officer, Lu Su did not believe it. Because in Sun Cejun, these ruffian soldiers had never been respectful to anyone. Even if it was their lord, they would only half-kneel down.
There was only one person who could make them kneel down, and that was their relatives! Their relatives who had higher seniority than them! The soldiers of Danyang Empire were connected by blood and relatives. They valued their relatives more highly than the officers in the army!
.. Even if an elder was not a commander, they would not dare to be impudent in front of the elder.. But how could there be a Danyang elder in Lu Bu's army? The Lvbu's army people.
"Lvbu's Lvbu Army! Lvbu's Lvbu's army! " Lu Su muttered to himself. "The Lvbu's Army came from Xu Province! Xu Province … "Lu Su's eyes lit up." Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu! " Lu Su remembered. Tao Qian's hometown was in Danyang County. He had recruited many Danyang soldiers from Danyang to help him guard Xu Province. After Tao Qian's death, Lü Bu and Liu Bei divided the Danyang soldiers. From this, it could be said that the Chu barracks was abnormal.
If it was a few days ago, Lu Su would have told Sun Ce to immediately send troops to take down the Chu barracks. But now, Lu Su hesitated because he knew that according to Sun Ce's method, the Chu barracks would not be able to survive. They would definitely be killed by Sun Ce. Moreover, Sun Ce might implicate the Danyang County's Chu family village, which would be another massacre.
The Chu barracks only had an elder in the Lvbu's Army, so they could not bear to directly attack the Lvbu's Army. Wan Cheng was about to be taken down. As long as the elder of the Chu barracks died in the hands of others, the Chu barracks would return to its original state!
Thinking like this, Lu Su calmed down. Wan Cheng was about to be breached, and it was about time for him to leave.
In the Chu barracks, Chu Zhongtian did not know that in such a short period of time, his Chu barracks and Danyang County's Chu village had escaped such a big disaster.
"Lin dan da, Wan Cheng is about to be finished! What should we do with the third elder? " Buttface was anxious. Although they were afraid that their Third Great Grandfather wouldn't want to see him, he was still their elder. If they left him alone and their parents found out, they would be beaten to death when they went back.
"I also don't know! How can we do this? I have no other way! " Chu Zhongtian was also anxious. He had gone up and down the city walls. They had also met with the Lvbu's Army, but because of the white cloth on their arms, the Lvbu's Army did not attack them. The other Danyang soldiers were not so lucky.
The Left barracks, which had a grudge against the Lvbu's Army, only had a hundred people left. These were the contributions of the Lvbu's Army. Although the Lvbu's Army was strong, they could not hold on for so long. Even a country bumpkin like Chu Zhongtian knew that Wan Cheng was about to be breached. Chu Zhongtian was not afraid of losing Wan Cheng, but he was afraid of the third elder. If things continued like this, General Sun Ce would definitely kill the Lvbu's Army.
"Hey!" Buttface fiercely stomped his feet. "Lin dan da, let's rebel! Let's help the third elder! "Buttface suddenly said.
"You're crazy!" Chu Zhongtian pulled Buttface over and covered his mouth.
"En, en, en!" Buttface struggled to break free from Chu Zhongtian's hand. "Lin dan, do you want to kill me?"
Buttface was infuriated. Just now, he was almost out of breath.
"If I don't cover your mouth, it will not only be you who will die, but also our entire Chu barracks!" Chu Zhongtian was also angry. "Do you think I don't want to save the third elder? But if you say so, our Chu barracks will not be able to live!" Chu Zhongtian also wanted to help Lu Bu's Army, but he was unable to do so. These 1000 people were like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. Other than being buried together with Lu Bu's Army, there was no other possibility. Chu Zhongtian wanted to save Third Great Grandfather, but he could not let the entire Chu Barracks suffer together with him.
"What about the alchemical fire oil? Did you go easy on them? "Buttface also knew that they could not do anything at all. Sun Ce ordered the Danyang soldiers to bring up a jar filled with alchemical fire oil and let them break it on top of the wall. This is to use fire to attack Wancheng City. Sun Ce ordered the Danyang soldiers to use fire to attack Wancheng City.
Buttface and Chu Zhongtian were careful. Although the Chu barracks had brought their own earthen jars, they were filled with black water instead of oil. That was all they could do.
"Don't worry! We can only do this! " Chu Zhongtian made up his mind. When the next wave reached the city wall, he would definitely bring Third Great Master away. Even if he had to tie him up, he would bring Third Great Master to their Chu Barracks. Only then could they save Third Great Master's life.
"Dong dong dong!" The war drums were beaten again. Sun Cejun's flag was waved again. Sun Ce and Liu Mang roared at the same time, "Fire the arrows!"
From the railings, numerous arrows were shot towards the city wall. The giant shields and armors were useless against him. Although the arrows were blocked, the fire on the arrows could not be extinguished. When the fire touched the alchemical fire oil on the ground, it immediately burned.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Looking at the fire on the city wall, Sun Ce laughed happily. No matter what kind of heavy armor you have, you will not be able to withstand the fire. Although the people of this era did not understand what was the melting point and what was the temperature, they knew that fire suppressed metal.
"We can't go on like this!" Liu Mang also saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The corpses piled up on the city wall were the first to be burned. Their hair, flesh, and bones suddenly became combustible. Even some of the leather armors were burned.
The archers on the railings began to pull their longbows. If this continued, the entire city wall would be engulfed in a sea of fire. Even if they had heavy armor, they would not be able to withstand it.
"Huang Xu!" Liu Mang roared.
"Yes! Little lord! "Huang Xu quickly responded.
"This is the only chance!" Liu Mang solemnly said to Huang Xu. They only had one bowstring and could only shoot one arrow. What Huang Xu needed was to hit the target. Otherwise, the Lvbu's Army would be burned to ashes by Sun Cejun.
"Aim at that one!" Liu Mang saw that the arrow shot from the railings closest to the city wall was the most accurate. It was the biggest threat to Wancheng city. Since the ballista could only shoot one arrow, naturally, they had to eliminate the biggest threat to Wancheng city.
"Your Highness King Of Shu, you can't die! I will personally cut off your head! " Sun Ce's mouth curled into a sneer. He does not believe that in this kind of fire, the defenders of Wancheng city can still survive.
"Release!" Liu Mang ordered. Huang Xu cut the bowstring on the ballista. The entire ballista suddenly shook, and a giant arrow directly pierced through the air, making a buzzing sound.
"Boom! Boom! " Sun Ce closed his eyes. He was enjoying this feeling. From here, he could smell the smell of cooked meat on the walls of Wancheng city. Moreover, those screams made him feel comfortable.
"Oh, Liu Mang, Lü Bu, I will let you know the consequences of offending me, Sun Ce!" Sun Ce smiled and opened his eyes. But at that moment, his face stiffened, and the smile on his mouth became ferocious.
"What, what!" Sun Ce was about to go crazy. Because in front of his eyes, his weapon of victory, a tall railing collapsed. From top to bottom, more than 700 Sun Cejun's archers fell down from dozens of feet high railing. Not a single one of them survived. Some of them even fell to the ground and died.
"What is that, what is that!" Sun Ce was anxious. How did the railing collapse? He just closed his eyes and enjoyed the scenery, but the railing suddenly collapsed. This was not logical. Could it be that Liu Mang's Lvbu's Army left the city? Impossible! The city gate was blocked. If they wanted to clear it, it would take at least a day to clear it. And even if it was cleared, how could Liu Mang dare to go out of the city? His defeated soldiers were already at their limit. Going out of the city was courting death. But if they did not go out of the city, how did the railing collapse?
"Ballista!" Lu Su came over. He also saw it. He saw more than Sun Ce. He saw a giant arrow flying out of the city wall. This giant arrow was the one that almost killed Sun Ce last time. That arrow suddenly hit the supporting wood of the railing and directly shattered the entire load-bearing part of the railing. There were originally many people on the railing, so when the load-bearing part of the railing was shattered, it naturally collapsed.
"Ballista!" Sun Ce's face was very ugly. It was that again, that again! Blunder! Blunder! Sun Ce once again thought of his warhorse's blunder. Thinking of this, his face became even more ugly. "Railing, railing!" If this goes on, the railing will be cleared out. Then how can Sun Ce go to Wancheng city to kill Liu Mang?
"Sigh!" Lu Su sighed. He found out that since his lord fought with the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, he was abnormal. He was easily influenced by his emotions. If Sun Ce really calmed down, then the King Of Shu would not be his opponent. Just like on the first day, Sun Ce did not go to the city wall, but let Taishi Ci go. Taishi Ci was used to delay Huang Zhong, while Chen Wu and Dong Xi went to kill Liu Mang.
But Sun Ce went, he was influenced by his emotions. Lu Su did not understand the realm of a general. He did not know how excited Sun Ce was at that time. He only knew that Wancheng city could be taken in one day, but Sun Ce was able to take it in three days. Under the threat of death, Sun Ce had no choice but to retreat.
On the second day, if he sent out the Danyang soldiers, then the result would not be like this! Lu Su admitted that Lu Su also had his own mistakes. But Sun Ce wanted to kill with a borrowed knife. That was why the Lvbu's Army on the city wall could cut off the nobles.
Today, when the railing was taken out, Sun Ce was thinking about how to deal with Liu Mang. His eyes narrowed in madness.
Ballista! Can't he see for himself? Sun Ce's eyesight is definitely better than Lu Su's. This ballista can only be shot once. If it can be shot continuously, Lu Bu's army would have used it at the very beginning. They would not wait until the walls were on fire before using the ballista to shoot down a wall.
"This ballista can only be used once! My army still has 3 more railings, so my lord need not worry! " "There are still more than two thousand soldiers on the three checkpoints. These nobles are more than enough to kill and injure Liu Mang's Lu Bu's Army." Lu Su's words were slapped in the face. Following the slapping sound was a pitch-black thing. This pitch-black thing was ordinary and mediocre, but it was very frightening.
"Boom!" Another railing was pierced through. The soldiers on the railing were terrified. In a short while, all of them fell down and smashed into the ground. Their blood dyed the ground red. The pitch-black thing had sunk deep into the ground.
When the soldiers below saw that two railings had collapsed, they did not dare to stand below the railings anymore. This was because those who stood below the railings were all dead! Along with Sun Cejun's soldiers on the railings, they were all smashed to death.
Sun Cejun's soldiers on the remaining two railings were also very worried. They loosened the bows in their hands.
Dying on the battlefield was not scary. After all, a single slash from the big sword was enough to kill them! There was also a whole corpse. But falling to death like this was really scary. Not even the whole corpse could be found.
"Impossible!" Lu Su shook his head. This ballista could only be fired once. It was absolutely impossible to fire a second time. If it could fire continuously, how could Sun Cejun survive that day?
"It's not a ballista!" Sun Cejun's eyes flashed. He took a deep breath. He was really confused by anger. For a long time, his emotions had been controlled by Liu Mang. Anger, madness, these were the taboos of war, but Sun Cejun had shown them in the past two days.
"It's an arrow! It's an arrow shot by a human! " Sun Cejun's eyes flew across the battlefield to the walls of Wancheng city. An old general was gasping for breath while pulling his longbow. The arrow on his longbow was gone.
"Zi Jing, I am really sorry! I was too impatient! I let you see a joke! " Sun Cejun suddenly became indifferent. He was a peak refinement martial artist. If he could not control his emotions, it would be very scary. These days, Sun Cejun was really tired of fighting. This was because he had suffered too much in the hands of Liu Mang.
"Huh!?" Lu Su was slightly surprised. Sun Cejun actually apologized to him? How could this be!
These two days, Lu Su saw Sun Cejun's bloodthirsty attitude. He also saw Sun Cejun's attitude towards the military. He was unruly and obstinate. But now, Sun Cejun actually apologized to him!
Could it be! This was the charm of Sun Cejun when he conquered the entire Jiangdong!
