At the same time when Jiangdong Pengze Water Village was sneak attacked by Gan Ning, the fierce battle in Chaisang had entered the most tragic moment.

The Jiangdong Army invested more than 1,500 people, concentrated all forces and all siege methods, and launched a fierce attack on the North City at dusk.

The fierce battle between the two sides has been going on for more than an hour. The Jiangdong Army has been repelled twice, with heavy casualties and heavy casualties on both sides.

On the battlefield, drums were like thunder, horns were sobbing, and shouting and killing sounds were shaking. The overwhelming Jiangdong army rushed to the top of the city. Under the northern city, arrows were like rain, woven into a dense net of arrows. Six thousand Jiangdong crossbowmen completely suppressed the bows and arrows on the top of the city to counterattack.

The Jingzhou army could only shoot down through the arrow holes on the battlements, but the number of arrow holes was sparse and could not form effective lethality to the Jiangdong army. Most of the defenders could only hide behind the walls and throw wooden stones downward from the mouth of the stone.

But what the Jiangdong soldiers really hurt was the civilians who controlled the catapults and stone cannons behind them. The dense arrows passed over the city, and some shot into the city, while the other part shot at the civilians located behind the city wall. The civilians suffered heavy casualties and lay on the ground, making the catapults and stone cannons on the city temporarily unable to exert their power.

The Jiangdong army rushed up like a tide, and siege ladders were placed on the top of the city. The Jiangdong soldiers climbed up like an ant swarm. The defenders began to fight back. The stones and wood fell like hail, as dense as rain. Groups of Jiangdong soldiers were smashed to death and bleeding, with broken bones and broken tendons, and screamed and rolled down the city from the ladder.

More than a dozen guards used a two-meter-long iron fork to hold the stairs, shouting in unison, the siege ladder was squeaked up and straight in the air. The defenders used force again, accompanied by a scream, the siege ladder flipped backwards.

Next to him, a Jiangdong military general was the first to kill the city, stabbing it with a spear, which was extremely ferocious, stabbing more than a dozen people to death. He jumped onto the city, and behind him, the continuous Jiangdong soldiers rushed upwards, and in an instant, tore open the defense of the Chaisang defenders.

This section of the city wall was under the responsibility of Deputy General Wei Yan, but the deputy general was killed. Wei Yan led the soldiers to fight against the enemy troops at the other end of several steps, and he was still unaware of the crisis here.

Just at this time, Liu Jing led Yu soldiers to patrol here. A village chief discovered Liu Jing and rushed over and shouted: "Sima, a Jiangdong army has broken through the defense. Please provide urgent support."

Liu Jing also saw the crisis. He was shocked and turned around and shouted, "Come with me."

Soldier Yu rushed away with Liu Jing. Liu Jing shouted loudly, stabbed several Jiangdong soldiers under the halberd, and the tooth general knew Liu Jing.

He was overjoyed and jumped forward, swung his spear and stabbed Liu Jing's chest. Liu Jing sneered, and opened the spear with a long spear, dodged sideways, waved his hand and slashed backwards at the back of the tooth general's head.

This is one of the ten-style Danfeng Chaoyang Guns. Liu Jing mastered it perfectly, no less than Zhao Yun. A cold light flashed by. The Jiangdong Army General could not dodge. The long halberd and crescent sword hit the back of the enemy general, slashing half of his head more than a foot away, and the body fell to the ground.

The soldiers in Jingzhou were cheering and their morale was greatly boosted. Liu Jing shouted, "Kill with me."

He took the lead in killing the soldiers of Jiangdong. The soldiers behind him were in a state of agitation and killed the remaining enemy troops who rushed to the city, leaving the city retreating step by step. Many Jiangdong soldiers had no choice but to jump off the city screaming and jumped off the city.

...

On a low hill a mile away from the north city, Jiangdong Army General Ling Cao stared at the city wall with concentration. Beside him, Ling Tong asked, "What did my father find?"

Ling Cao nodded and pointed to Caohe and said, "Have you noticed that there are no trenchers and stone cannons on the wall near Caohe. I heard General Lu say that the city head in that area is slightly narrower than elsewhere. This is why the catguards and stone cannons cannot be placed."

"Does my father think it can be broken through from Caohe?"

Ling Cao did not answer his question, and he turned around and ran to the place where Sun Quan was. Ling Tongsi was puzzled. Although he was young and only fifteen years old, he had already fought with his father and was brave and good at fighting. He was deeply loved by Sun Quan. He made an exception and named him the Marquis of the Military Marquis and became the youngest general of the Jiangdong Army.

At this time, Sun Quan was standing in the welcoming pavilion beside the dock, staring at the siege with worry. Although the Jiangdong army fought bravely again and again, it was still unable to break through the defense line of the Chaisang defender, which made Sun Quan worried. If the casualties were too heavy, even if Chaisang was captured, he would not be able to feel the joy of victory.

Jiangdong has not had a large total force, and only 100,000 troops have advanced. This time he led a 60,000 army to the west, and he has already used 60,000 troops. If the losses are too heavy, it will be difficult for him to explain to his subjects when he returns.

"Wuhou"

Ling Cao's tall figure appeared outside the pavilion, and he bowed and said, "I have discovered the weakness of the defense of Chaisang City, and I am willing to ask for the order to fight."

Sun Quan was stunned and immediately walked to the pavilion and asked, "Where is the weakness of defense?"

"Report to Wu Hou, the defense weakness of Chaisang City is in Water Gate. Did Wu Hou not find that there are no catapults and stone cannons near Water Gate?"

Sun Quan was stunned. He raised his eyes toward the Shuicheng. Although he could not see anything in the dark, he remembered that when he attacked during the day, he did not launch a huge rock from the Shuicheng. He frowned and turned around and asked Lu Xun, "Why is this?"

Lu Xun stepped forward and bowed and replied, "Reported to Wu Hou, the city wall on the water city is slightly narrower than other places, and it is difficult to place catapults and stone cannons. General Ling said it was right. Water Gate was indeed the defensive weakness of Chaisang City. Bei Zhi heard that when Huang Zu attacked Chaisang, he was also preparing to attack Water Gate. They should know better than anyone else where the weakness of Chaisang City lies."

Sun Quan stared at the water gate and said nothing for a long time. He suddenly turned around and asked, "If the defenders drifted out the stone carbon oil and ignited the river, how would you deal with it?"

"The Beiyi will use driftwood to intercept the water gate, so that the stone, carbon and oil cannot flow out of the city. The Beiyi will ignite the fire and burn the defenders."

Speaking of this, Ling Cao knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to make a military order. If I cannot attack the city, I will bring people to see you."

Sun Quan Zhuangzhi and immediately agreed, "I will give you a thousand troops and ten siege ships, and you will be limited to one hour to break through the enemy's defense."

Ling Cao said in a deep voice: "The humble position will never disappoint the Marquis of Wu."

.........

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Cao led ten siege ships to slowly approach the Water Gate. The siege ship was different from ordinary warships. It was wide and straight, and it was very stable in the river. The ship was equipped with various siege tools, such as stone cannons, trenchers, ladders and siege hammers, etc., and you could attack the city from the water.

This is also the killer weapon of the Jiangdong Army. It is just because of the turbulent oil of the Chaisang defenders and is reluctant to enter the battlefield. This time Sun Quan handed them over to Ling Cao.

Ling Cao stood at the bow of the ship with an iron gun, commanding the army to kill from both sides of the Caohe River to the Shuicheng Gate. More than a dozen water ghosts dived from the water to the Shuicheng Gate, connecting five or six driftwoods to form a wooden dam on the water surface, which can prevent stone, carbon and oil from drifting out of the city, and then another wooden dam outside the foot to prevent the defenders from throwing turbulent oil from the top of the city.

The guard at the head of the Shuimen City was Wang Tai, who led eight soldiers to guard the Shuimen and the city walls. At this time, he looked solemn and watched the enemy warships slowly approaching the Shuimen. Wang Tai participated in the battle against the Jiangdong Army in the past year. At that time, he was responsible for guarding the Shuimen City Gate and had rich experience.

Wang Tai immediately ordered: "Dump the turmeric oil"

The power of tincture oil was learned by the Jingzhou army. Wang Tai knew that it was very effective against warship tincture oil. The soldiers immediately took action and poured the sticky tincture oil on the altar into the Caohe River and drifted along the river water to the outside of the city.

But an accident happened at this moment. A Jiangdong soldier ambushed outside the water city suddenly lit a torch. He then jumped into the river and lit the turbulent oil that had just overflowed from the water gate.

With a bang, fires on the water surface burst into pieces, and the flames quickly spread into the city. In a moment, the entire water city gate turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the fire kept burning into the city. The soldiers were shocked and hurriedly moved the remaining turtle oil away. The few jars of turtle oil were not enough to move away, and the shore was also burning.

"General Wang, the turmeric oil was stopped by something and could not flow out." A soldier shouted under the city.

Wang Tai looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it."

He turned around and ordered: "Take two jars of tinea oil up and fall from the top of the city."

...........

Ling Cao, on the big ship in the distance, stared at the fire and sneered coldly. As he expected, the Jingzhou army was good at using fire attacks, but he had a solution.

Seeing that the wooden dam successfully blocked the floating stone and carbon oil, making the fire unable to spread out, Ling Cao waved his spear and shouted loudly: "Attack"

More than twenty large ships were moored more than a step away from the water city gate. Just outside the range of the bow and arrow, the large ship was loaded with the Jiangdong Army's thunderbolt chariot. With Ling Cao's order, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came, and huge rocks flew towards the city, and the overwhelming flying stones roared across the night sky.

In the dark night, the defenders had already brought two jars of tincture oil in the city. Several defenders were preparing to dump the tincture oil down from the top of the city. Unexpectedly, huge rocks flew towards each other. The defenders were caught off guard, and many soldiers were hit by the rocks, and their bones were broken and their flesh was blurred.

The two turbulent oil altars were also smashed to pieces, and the turbulent oil flowed all over the ground, screams came one after another on the top of the city. Wang Tai was anxious and shouted: "Down all."

The defenders were hiding one after another, some lying on the ground, and some hiding behind battlements. However, the Jiangdong Army's long-range attack continued, with huge rocks flying overhead, and the Chaisang defenders were suppressed and had no way to fight back.

With a loud bang, a huge rock weighed pounds hit a battlement. The battlement shattered and rocks flew everywhere. Several soldiers hiding behind the battlement could not dodge and were hit by the rocks and bleeding from their heads.

Another huge rock roared over, smashing another battlement into pieces. Several soldiers behind the battlement shouted and fled in scattered.

The Jiangdong Army's attack on Caohe obviously had an advantage. The Chaisang Guard's arms attack failed and there were no long-range weapons to counter the opponent. The situation was very passive.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ling Cao waved his hand and a large flat-bottomed ship slowly sailed up, pressing tightly on the city gate. A wide ladder was set up on the ship. The huge iron hook on the ladder hooked the top of the city, and dozens of Jiangdong soldiers quickly climbed up the ladder.

The big ship and the ladder quickly formed a passage up the city, and more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers on both sides of the Caohe River ran onto the ship.

At this time, the attack on the stone cannon of the Jiangdong Army stopped. Wang Tai was the first to discover that the enemy was climbing the city. He was shocked and shouted loudly, "The enemy has climbed the city, come with me to kill him."

He rushed up with his gun, and the defenders on the top of the city reacted one after another. Dozens of defenders shouted, followed Wang Tai to pounce, blocked the gap, and fought fiercely with the Jiangdong soldiers who had climbed the city.
