Wow!

No matter how thick the solid log is, it can withstand stone grinding, but the other parts that support it are not as strong as it.

After a period of noise, the car was finally completely destroyed by a stone mill.

When the Wei army saw this, they cheered loudly again.

However, although the Wei army temporarily stopped the Wu army's offensive.

But there were still too many Wu troops rushing up.

The next wave of Wu troops carrying light ladders rushed up again, and with them, there were several ladders.

If the Wei army at the top of the city could push away the light ladder, then the heavy siege equipment with a base, such as the cloud ladder, could not be shaken by them.

"Lift!"

Following an order, the second ladder controlled by pulleys began to rise slowly, moving towards the top of the city.

"Bang!"

When the end of the ladder was placed on the city wall, Wu Jun once again pushed the base of the ladder until it leaned tightly against the root of the city wall.

"Kill, go to the city and kill the thief!"

A cloud ladder with a base is not only less likely to be damaged than a light ladder, but the slope is also gentler than most light ladders, making it easier for siege soldiers to climb.

When the Wei army at the top of the city saw the ladder being destroyed, they immediately picked up rocks and were about to throw them down.

Suddenly, a hail of arrows struck towards the city!

Linche and Jinglan, which were originally extremely cumbersome, finally arrived belatedly and were pushed within the range of the bow and arrow.

Although there are not many of these heavy siege equipment, there are only about a dozen.

But their height has faintly exceeded the city wall, and the Wu army's crossbowmen at the top were shooting arrows at the defenders at the top of the city frantically.

In particular, the location at the top of the city corresponding to the several ladders is their focus.

This is the first time that the Wu army's crossbowmen have suppressed the Wei army since the siege.

The Wei army was caught off guard, and many people fell down at once.

The soldiers of Wu who were attacking the city suddenly felt the pressure relieved.

"Up, up, up! The thief has been suppressed!"

The pioneer officer took the lead and quickly climbed up the ladder.

It is a great achievement to be the first to attack the city.

"The general has an order. After the city is broken, if the sword is not sealed for three days, all the wealth and silk from the children will belong to you!"

As Zhuge Ke's military order spread throughout the army, the soldiers of the Wu army who were already red-eyed were very excited.

Lu'an City is the county seat of Lujiang County, a Wei thief, and the richest place in the whole county is here.

Even the military generals who originally wanted to plunder the people in the surrounding area now had their eyes shining brightly.

They really did not expect that General Zhuge would issue such a military order.

After all, it stands to reason that His Majesty's intention to expand his territory by sending troops to the north on such a large scale this time is natural.

If the city is really conquered, it will be Da Wu's own territory from now on.

Especially for counties like Lu'an, for the sake of future governance, they generally will not send troops to wash the city easily - unless it is difficult to attack for a long time, in order to stimulate the morale of the soldiers.

But how long has it been since we attacked the city?

Especially if you don't seal the sword for three days, this is basically half a massacre.

"If you don't seal the sword for three days, it will belong to whoever grabs it. If you don't get it now, then when will it be more important?"

The generals of each battalion shouted, their faces red, and they kept encouraging: "Which battalion is the first to break the city will be selected first."

"If this generation of wealth is snatched away in one fell swoop, what will the wife at home have to worry about? We have to fight hard, brothers!"

Looking at the generals who were shouting with excitement, Zhuge Ke's eyes were slightly gloomy.

It's just that this gloominess was well hidden in his eyes.

For him who is quite ambitious and thinks very highly of himself, he is really reluctant to issue such military orders to stimulate the soldiers to work hard.

At the same time, I was a little unhappy.

After learning all this, and looking at Wu Jun who was in high spirits,

Fu Qian said "Hey tui!" and spat to show his disdain:

"How is it different from a thief?"

Luo Xian glanced at him and said:

"This is a common thing before the battle. If you want to lead the army into battle in the future, you will have to get used to this kind of thing."

To be honest and treasonous, be it Emperor Guangwu or the late Emperor.

When they besieged the city for a long time and could not capture it, and the morale of the generals and officers was low, they all promised to take all the treasures in the city.

Fu Qian pouted:

"Having no choice but to use this method to stimulate the soldiers is already right and wrong, which is the way to lead a general."

"Moreover, I have observed that among the Wu army, both generals and soldiers are accustomed to this kind of thing."

"If the spirit of Wu Guojun is like this, he will not be the enemy of the Han soldiers in the future."

Luo Xian chuckled:

"How many people in this world can compare with the Prime Minister, and how many people can compete with the Master?"

"That's right."

It is easy to say that orders must be enforced and military discipline must be strict, but it is extremely difficult to implement them.

The two of them talked about the matter in front of them independently, and even had the intention to comment on Wu Jun.

But Wen Qin, who was inside, felt the intensity of the Wu army's attack on the city and suddenly increased it again.

"Don't retreat, anyone who retreats will be killed!"

"Preparatory battalion, bring up a battalion!"

Wen Qin stood on the city tower, paying close attention to the war, and at the same time constantly dispatching troops and generals.

The military order was quickly passed down, and the Wei army's reserve battalion, which had been waiting at the foot of the city wall, rushed up the city wall from the slope as fast as possible.

The soldiers of Wu Army, who had just managed to fall onto the city wall, had not had time to enjoy the joy of being the first to climb up the city wall when they were attacked by several spears.

Then he was pushed directly out of the city.

The screams seemed so insignificant on the battlefield where the killing was overwhelming.

…

This fierce offensive and defensive battle did not come to an end until the sun set on the top of the mountain.

Two of the Wei army's city walls were captured by the Wu army, but in the end, Wen Qin mobilized reserve troops in time to attack the gap, so the problem was not too big.

However, Wen Qin was not happy at all.

The reinforcements coming from Hefei were blocked outside.

The Wu army's offensive at the south gate was so fierce that it was beyond his expectation.

As for the Wu army, their losses were much heavier.

The carriages and ladders were all damaged. Only the wells and carriages that were not close to the city head were pushed back and repaired.

It was night, when the soldiers on both sides were sleeping, recovering their strength, and preparing to fight again the next day.

However, Zhuge Ke took advantage of the darkness and came to the rear army in the name of patrolling the camp.

In the rear army, Quan Cong, the commander-in-chief of Wu State, was waiting for his arrival.

"Grand Governor, it depends on you whether Da Wu can break through the predicament and compete in the Central Plains."

Zhuge Ke saluted Quan Cong with a solemn face. At the same time, he took out a silk book from his arms and handed it to Quan Cong:

"This map is a map of the passes of the Wei army that was drawn by Ke after many detailed drawings and dozens of additions over the years."

"The Grand Governor is leading the army to the north this time. If this plan can help the Grand Governor one or two, Ke will be satisfied."

Quan Cong solemnly took the map with a solemn expression:

"If someone can achieve success in this trip north, it is all due to General Zhuge!"

"I'll leave all the rest of my journey to General Zhuge."

Zhuge Ke nodded:

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief."

There was light shining in both of their eyes.
