Huang Zhong and Sun Ce also moved. Their speed was much faster than Liu Mang, Dong Xi, Taishi Ci, and Xu Sheng. Golden blade and black spear collided in the air.
Huang Zhong had already reached the peak of refinement spirit. His grasp of the realm was above Sun Ce's, but because of the arrow he shot before, he lost half of his spirit.
Sun Ce was defeated by Huang Zhong the day before yesterday, so his injuries were not healed. Although he reached the peak of refinement spirit, after all, it was just a short time. No matter how strong his talent was, it was impossible to reach the peak of refinement spirit in one go.
For a while, the two could not do anything to each other. The battle on the wall seemed to be in a deadlock.
"Is this really the case?" Lu Su looked at the paper in his hand. This was what Sun Ce left for him before he left. He told him to open this paper if he was in a deadlock. On the wall, there were six people fighting, but no one was able to kill the other side in a short time. Even Liu Mang was struggling under Dong Xi's fierce attacks.
Lu Su opened the paper in his hand. There were only two words written on it, and that was fire attack. Fire attack! Lu Su knew what it meant. The walls of Wan Cheng were already covered with alchemical fire oil. Their original plan was to let the Danyang soldiers bring the alchemical fire oil and let the alchemical fire oil fall on the walls. The Danyang soldiers paid hundreds of casualties to do this. After that, they let the archers on the walls release fire arrows. The arrows fell on the walls and ignited the alchemical fire oil. Wan Cheng's Lvbu's Army were wearing heavy armor, but no matter how strong the armor was, it could not withstand the flames. In the end, they could only turn into molten iron.
Originally, the four siege towers were equipped with fire arrows. However, two of the siege towers were destroyed by Huang Zhong's arrows. The casualties of the two siege towers caused the remaining two siege towers to panic. They were afraid that the remaining two siege towers would be destroyed by Huang Zhong's arrows. In order to prevent Huang Zhong from using his bow again, Sun Ce and Taishi Ci Dong went up the walls to attack the siege towers. This was the reason why the siege towers were 3 vs 3. Huang Zhong's arrows were not enough to stop Huang Zhong from using his bow again.
Sun Ce's fire attack was to let the remaining two walls release arrows and ignite the alchemical fire oil on the walls.
If Sun Ce, Taishi Ci and Dong Xi did not attack, if Danyang soldiers and ordinary soldiers were not on top of the wall, they could issue such an order. But now, there are not only enemies on top of the wall, there are also Lu Bu's Army and his own people. There are 3,000 Danyang soldiers and 10,000 ordinary soldiers. If the fire arrows hit the wall, not only will Lu Bu's Army suffer, those Danyang soldiers and ordinary soldiers will not be able to escape.
This was playing a game of mutual destruction! Sun Ce was ruthless, really ruthless. He could not hold back anymore. He wanted to enter Wan Cheng. He did not want to stay for even a moment. As long as the arrows were released from the walls, the Lvbu's Army in Wan Cheng would be turned into ashes. The 3,000 Danyang soldiers and 10,000 ordinary Sun Cejun soldiers would be buried together with them.
Lu Su was hesitating. He could not bring himself to be so cruel. Those were more than ten thousand soldiers, not ten thousand pigs. But when he thought of how he had already released the well, it would be a joke to talk about benevolence and righteousness now! If he could not capture Wan Cheng today, then everything would be over. Sun Cejun could only choose to withdraw his troops. Lu Su still could not make up his mind. Until a warhorse rushed in front of him. "Reporting to the military advisor, the situation is not good!" This was a Sun Cejun scout with disheveled hair. His body was pierced with arrows. The warhorse he was riding collapsed on the ground and died.
"Huh?!" Lu Su had a bad premonition. These scouts were sent by Lu Su. They were placed 100 Li away to inform the Lvbu's Army of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Now that this scout appeared here, it could only mean one thing.
Sure enough, the scout said what Lu Su was most worried about. "Military Advisor, Military Advisor, Lü Bu, Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, they are coming, a lot of them are coming, a lot of them are coming!"
The scout panted heavily as he reported to Lu Su.
"Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!" Lu Su frowned. It was too fast. According to Lu Su's worst case scenario, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would arrive at Wan Cheng tonight or tomorrow morning. But now, they appeared 100 Li away from Wan Cheng. For infantry, 100 Li was a day's march, but for warhorses, it was 2 to 2 hours.
2 to 2 hours! Lu Su looked at the stalemate situation on the wall. If it continued like this, it would be impossible to finish the battle in 2 to 2 hours. When the Lvbu's Army's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry arrived, they would be finished. If they were attacked by Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Wan Cheng's defenders, it would not be a joke.
Lu Su closed his eyes and clenched his fists. It was too late, too late! Lu Su opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot. If Zhou Yu was here, he would think that his friend has changed. Lu Su has indeed changed. War can not only change ordinary soldiers, it can also change scholars like Lu Su. Originally, Lu Su thought that war is just a battle between generals and scholars. Those who charge and kill are all generals. Generals like them only need to come up with strategies and strategies. But now, he found that he was wrong. Generals can only kill dozens or hundreds of people. Even Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and Sun Ce, who are at the peak of refinement level, can only kill a thousand people in a single war. But the one who really decides the lives of tens of thousands of people, or even the entire army, is a scholar. His one strategy, his one order, can cause tens of thousands of soldiers to fight and die for him. But now, he found out that he was wrong.
Lu Su's expression became firm. Lu Su, who was only an armchair strategist, had finally matured. If Lu Su could only be regarded as a second-rate strategist before, then now, he could absolutely stand on his own.
"Pass down my order, let the firing range fire arrows. Target Wan Cheng, quickly fire!" Lu Su almost roared his order.
"Ah!" The messenger was stunned. Fire arrows now? There were people on the city wall. Firing the arrows at this time was the same as killing each other! One must know that the archers do not know who is the enemy and who is the ally. They only know how to harvest people's heads. "Military advisor, military advisor, there are people on the city wall!"
"Huh!?" Lu Su's attention suddenly turned and stared at the messenger. "Don't tell me you don't understand what I said! Or do you think that I am blind!? "
What kind of look was this? The messenger could not help but shiver in his heart, but he still hesitated. "But, but!" The messenger's brother was on the city wall! He was among Sun Cejun's soldiers, so he really could not give this order.
But after a while, the messenger did not think about this troublesome matter, because he did not need to think about anything.
"Puff!" A column of blood soared to the sky and splashed on Lu Su's face. A big head fell on the ground. Lu Su's face was stained with blood, but he did not panic. Instead, he became crazy. "Who dares to question my order, kill without mercy!" This messenger was personally beheaded by Lu Su.
"Yes!" The other messengers on the side shouted in unison. This weak military counselor had always been a nice guy. He always had a smile on his face. However, no one expected him to suddenly turn hostile. A person who was always angry might be afraid, but it would not reach the level of terror. In fact, they might even get used to it after seeing it for a long time. However, a person who was always nice and easy to talk to suddenly became a different person. When he became furious and even killed a person out of anger, everyone was afraid because they did not know if he would kill them in the next moment. Everyone kept quiet out of fear. Lu Su's order was directly sent out.
This order was quickly responded to. Although the 1500 Sun Cejun soldiers on the city wall were also puzzled, they quickly carried out Lu Su's order. Like a rain of arrows, they flew towards the city wall.
These arrows were not used to hurt people, but the lethality caused by them was much greater than those arrows.
"Aaaaaah!" From time to time, some people were hit by the arrows. Among them were Sun Cejun soldiers and Lvbu's army. The Lvbu's army was either the Black Flag Army wearing black heavy armor or the City Guard wearing silver heavy armor. These arrows did little damage to them.
However, the Sun Cejun soldiers were miserable, especially the Danyang soldiers. The Danyang soldiers were wearing rattan armor. The rattan armor was made of rattan. It was light and had a high defense. Unlike iron armor, it would not sink when it hit the water. Instead, it had a buoyant force. This made the Danyang soldiers in Jiangdong, they were like flood dragons in the water and tigers on the road. They were the real Sun Cejun's navy.
But now, the rattan armor brought tragedy to the Danyang soldiers. No matter how strong the rattan armor was, it was still a plant. Plants were of the wood attribute and were easily flammable. The Danyang soldiers who were hit by the arrows didn't die from the arrows, instead, the arrows ignited the rattan armor on their bodies. In a panic, some of the soldiers rolled on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames. But when they rolled on the ground, they were met with bad luck. This was because the ground was covered with alchemical fire oil. These alchemical fire oil were brought by the Danyang soldiers on the walls. Once they rolled on the ground, the alchemical fire oil would burn their bodies.
The raging fire engulfed those Danyang soldiers and they started to scream miserably. The great pain of being burned was accompanied by these Danyang soldiers but they wouldn't die in a short time. Under the unbearable pain, even these arrogant and unruly soldiers couldn't bear it.
Some of them directly killed themselves. But if they could not, they could only howl and turn into a pile of black ash. The entire Wancheng city wall had turned into hell. Whether it was the Lvbu's army or the Sun Cejun, they were all trying to avoid the inferno. But everything was in vain.
The Lvbu's army had a hard time running because of their heavy armor. Once they were hit on the ground, they would not be able to get up. Because of the alchemical fire oil on their armor, they would not be able to take it off in a short time. Once they were hit by the flames, they would basically not be able to run away. The heavy armor would become an iron coffin and the Black Flag soldiers would be burned to death.
"Very ruthless!" Liu Mang saw Dong Xi's attack. He looked at the Wancheng city wall that had turned into a sea of hellfire. He could not help but be angry at Sun Ce. He was angry because the Black Flag Army and the City Guard had nowhere to run. He was angry because Sun Ce was not only ruthless to the enemy, he was also ruthless to himself. On the city wall, there were more than 10,000 Sun Cejun soldiers and 3,000 Danyang soldiers. In order to capture Wancheng city and kill the 3,000 City Guard and the Black Flag Army, Sun Cejun was willing to drag them down with him.
"Capturing Wancheng city is worth it!" Dong Xi did not answer this question. Sun Ce responded because Huang Zhong also said the same thing to Sun Ce. Sun Ce also did not want this to happen. Originally, he could completely suppress the Lvbu's army so that he could capture Wancheng city. But who would have thought that a ballista would appear and destroy one of the walls. Coupled with Huang Zhong's steel arrows, if all four walls were destroyed, then Sun Ce would not be able to capture Wancheng city, at least not today.
After today, would he still have a chance? The answer was no. Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could reach Wancheng city at any time. At that time, the one who would have to think about defense would be Sun Ce. Therefore, in order to prevent Huang Zhong from destroying the walls with his steel arrows, Sun Ce went up the city wall. In order to prevent the Lvbu's Army from destroying the walls, Sun Ce also went up the city wall. In order to prevent the Lvbu's Army from destroying the walls, Sun Ce also went up the city wall.

"Run, run, run!" On top of the city wall, Chu Zhongtian and Buttface were about to cry. Originally, they came up here to kidnap their Third Great Master. After kidnapping their Third Great Master, they succeeded. Just as they were about to go down the city wall, flames and corpses appeared from the walls. The air above Wancheng city was filled with the disgusting smell of meat. This smell of meat would only make people feel nauseous because it was barbecued human meat. Buttface swore that he would never want to eat barbecued mutton again.
This was because as long as he saw the barbecued mutton, Buttface would think of everything that happened in Wancheng city today.
"Put me down, put me down! Chu Zhongtian, you rebel, rebel! " Chu Jie struggled with all his might, but all his efforts were in vain. He was tied up by Chu Zhongtian and Buttface. They took advantage of the fact that Chu Jie was not paying attention and subdued him. Because they had white cloth on their arms, the City Guard and the Black Flag Army did not do anything to them. In fact, the City Guard even helped them because they knew that it was very likely that they would die together with Wancheng city on the city wall.
As long as they could escape, it would be a good thing. It was also good to leave a seed for the City Guard. The City Guard helped the Chu Battalion to kidnap Chu Jie.
Just as they were about to descend the city tower, a huge fire broke out on the city walls. Alchemical fire oil was everywhere, and the scaling ladders on the city walls were all burned. Chu Zhongtian was dumbfounded, where could they escape to?
"Lin egg, go there, go there!" Buttface suddenly remembered.
"There?!" Chu Zhongtian's memory also came out. "Yes, go there!" That was the place where the Chu Battalion went up the city wall. They also went up the city wall with porcelain jars like the other Danyang soldiers. However, their jars were filled with black water and not alchemical fire oil. Originally, Chu Zhongtian was afraid that the Third Great Grandfather would die, so he left a way out for the Lvbu's Army. Who would have thought that it would become their own way out. But in front of them, it was difficult to rush out.
Chu Zhongtian gritted his teeth. If they stayed here, they would definitely die. If they rushed out, they would at most be burned half to death. But there was still a way out. "Brothers, if you want to live, then rush out with me, Chu Zhongtian!"
"Charge!" Chu Zhongtian took the lead and rushed into the sea of fire. Seeing Chu Zhongtian rush in, the Chu Battalion also followed without a word. They were all led by Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian was their battalion commander.
"A way out?!" The other Sun Cejun Danyang soldiers and Lvbu's Army were all stunned. There was a way out in this sea of fire? Was it a dead end? The fire was burning so vigorously that the bluestones were starting to turn red. But that was not a way out. Where was a way out? The temperature here was unbearably high. If they continued to stay here, they would only die.
The Danyang soldiers reacted the fastest, especially Zuo Renjie of the Left Battalion. He and the Chu Battalion were enemies, but this didn't hinder his desire for life. Seeing Chu Zhongtian rushing over, he also went crazy. Damn, Chu Zhongtian doesn't want to live anymore, so why should I, Zuo Renjie, be afraid? At worst, we'll all die together.
"Charge! Brothers!" Zuo Renjie also rushed in. He did not want to be weak. He was at the back of the Chu Battalion. The Left Battalion and the Chu Battalion were old rivals. They had fought and snitched on each other. But now, Zuo Renjie followed behind Chu Zhongtian. Under Zuo Renjie's lead, the other Danyang soldiers also rushed into the sea of fire.
Now, there was no killing on the city wall. Whether it was the Lvbu's Army or Sun Cejun, they were all in the same boat. If they continued to fight, they would only become delicious roasted ducks.
"Charge, I will fight with you!" The Lvbu's Army also moved. Although they were wearing heavy armor, under the desire for life, they also used all their strength.
"I want to live!" This was not wanting to die.
"F * ck you, Sun Ce!" This was the voice of dissatisfaction towards Sun Ce.
"Jiangdong's bastards, wait for me!" This was even weirder. He even scolded himself. He was also from Jiangdong. Those bastards on the wall had already been scolded to death by Sun Cejun. These people decided that when they got out, they would definitely find those bastards and settle the score. How was this a war? This was asking for their lives.
One by one, they charged through the flames. Some of Sun Cejun's soldiers fell. They originally thought that they were going to die because the people behind them were galloping. Being stepped on by so many people, even if they were not burned to death, they would still be trampled to death.
But suddenly, a big hand reached over and pulled Sun Cejun up. This Sun Cejun wanted to say thank you, but he did not know what to say. This was because the person who saved him was wearing silver armor. They were the Lvbu's Army. They were the people who were fighting together just now.
This kind of scene happened everywhere on the city wall. Looking at these people helping each other, people who did not know would think that they were allies. They were the kind of allies who would show their backs to each other.
Who would know that they wanted to kill each other just a moment ago?
