At least thousands of people were killed or injured in the fire scene. Even if they didn't die, their bodies were covered with burns and scars. Some ruthless people were stained with fierce fire and oil, and the fire couldn't be put out. Although it may be seriously injured and disabled, it is better than being directly burned to death by the fire.
Under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian, Chu Ziying really rushed out of the sea of flames. Most of Chu Zhongtian's hair was burned off, and the eyebrows on his face were directly burned off. Fortunately, they didn't suffer much injuries. They Chu Ziying was only responsible for part of the fierce fire oil on the city wall. There were few fires when they rushed there, and some of the fires were isolated with the help of others.
But a serious problem arose. Although this section of the city wall could cut off the flames, the place was too small to allow thousands of soldiers to avoid the fire on the city wall.
"Now do this!" Zuo Renjie also rushed out with Chu Zhongtian. He didn't expect that the Chu family would actually have a way out. Zuo Renjie had already seen those broken earthen jars, and they were not filled with kerosene. It was Heishui. He had already seen that there was something wrong with Chu Ziying. If Chu Zhongtian was like this one day ago, then Zuo Renjie would definitely tell the military advisor Lu Su or the lord Sun Ce, but there is no need now. Because if it weren't for Chu Zhongtian's tricks, they might go down to meet their ancestors together now.
"I don't know what to do!" Chu Zhongtian was also in a hurry. Now there is only a section of the place to block the flames, and there can only be less than 3,000 people left. What about the others? No matter how you look at it, there were no less than 5,000 people who rushed out of the flames. Are we going to draw out our knives and kill each other now
The arrows on the well fence outside the Wancheng city wall did not stop at all, and they were thrown towards the place where Chu Zhongtian and the others were, because there was no more fierce fire oil. It didn't burn up, but the arrows shot at people would still kill them, and hundreds of people were lost under several waves of arrow rain.
"Is it really necessary to raise the knife again!" It was not easy for these people, they finally escaped from the sea of fire, and now they have to face this choice again.
The battle between Xu Sheng and Tai Shici has entered into a fierce battle. Xu Sheng can't help Tai Shici, and Tai Shici can't win Xu Sheng. Long spears and short halberds keep colliding in mid-air, and the surrounding fires can't stop. Block the duel between the two.
The same is true for Huang Zhong and Sun Ce. Huang Zhong wants to force Sun Ce to leave. But Sun Ce kept fighting close to his body. Sun Ce has given up the advantage of the Western Chu Overlord Spear in terms of long weapons, what he wants is to make Huang Zhongteng unable to open his hands.
But Liu Mang could only hold on hard. Originally, the gap between him and Dong Xi was not that big, they were both second-rate generals, but don't forget that Dong Xi has a huge body. He is born with an advantage in body shape, his arms are stronger than ordinary martial arts practitioners.
Liu Mang wanted to kill with one blow but failed.
"It can't go on like this!" Liu Mang saw it from the corner of his eye. The only stretch of wall there that wasn't on fire wouldn't last long either. The fire is getting bigger and bigger, even if there is no strong kerosene, it can still be blown there by the strong wind. At that time, the city wall of Wancheng will really become the oven of Quanjude. go down.
But Liu Mang was helpless at all. Huang Zhong, the only one among the three-on-three who can destroy Jinglan, has been held back by Sun Ce, and Xu Sheng and Tai Shici can't break the deadlock, and he is struggling to support himself.
Just die on the city wall! Just watch those soldiers being burned alive! Liu Mang can't do it, can't do it, Liu Mang's hands that have no gaps in one place tightly hold the shield ax again.
"But what can I do!" Liu Mang has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
"Reinforcements, if there are reinforcements, it would be great, as long as these fires are extinguished, those soldiers will be saved!" But Liu Mang knew that all this was an extravagant hope. There was not a single soldier in Wancheng. Even if the Bingzhou wolf riders rushed over from outside the city, it would be too late.
"I'll just die like this! I'm so unwilling!" Liu Mang's eyes gradually became bloodshot. It was impossible for Dong Xi to give Liu Mang a chance to breathe. The giant hammer in his hand bombarded down one after another.
If the giant shield was not made of alloy, it would probably be smashed by the giant hammer by now. Even so, the shield ax has no regular shape. It can only be seen from the outline that it is a shield ax and a weapon.
In the fire-free section of the city wall, Er Gouzi was in a hurry, "Chu Zhongtian, you have an idea!" The crowd standing densely couldn't hide from the arrows on the well and the fire. If this delay continues, everyone will be alone. Can't survive.
"What can I do! I can't think of it, I can't think of it!" The easiest thing to do now is to pick up the butcher knife and slash at the people around him. He can't kill Lu Bujun's people. If he does, don't see the third grandfather again. Chu Zhongtian, a soldier of Sun Ce's army, also knew that they were suffering too. He didn't have to go out to serve as a soldier if he could eat enough. What's more, the two armies were so close just now. .
Let alone Chu Zhongtian now, it is impossible for you to let these Lu Bujun let these Sun Cejun take action. Perhaps one of them was their savior just now. That is extremely loyal, and the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Just now he saved you, so now he is waving his sword at him! They can't do it!
"Made, it's a big deal to die together!" Chu Zhongtian angrily scolded the damned Sun Ce, the damned order, and the soldiers on the well fence. If it wasn't for them, how could the people here be so entangled.
"Hehe, let's die together!" Zuo Renjie was also rescued just now, and he tripped over a burning corpse. If it wasn't for a Lu Bujun soldier who pulled him in time, he might have died Contaminated with fire oil, now poured into the sea of fire.
Just when everyone was about to despair, a huge voice suddenly came from inside Wancheng, from the bottom of Wancheng. The sound of dense footsteps and the sound of screaming in the mouth.
"This is?!" Liu Mang, Xu Sheng, and Huang Zhong were all taken aback. This came from inside Wancheng. Could it be that Wancheng has already been breached? The enemy army rushed up the city wall from the inside of Wancheng. If this is the case, it will really be over.
Sun Ce and Tai Shici were also surprised. Where did the sound of rushing and killing come from? It is absolutely impossible to have reinforcements in Wancheng. All Liu Mang's capital is in this Wancheng. If he still has reservations, he can only keep it for funeral.
Attacked the city? Sun Ce frowned, no, if you want to enter the city of Wancheng, you have to go through the city gate passage, but the city gate passage has been blocked by Liu Wei, it is impossible to communicate, even if it is cleared, it will take a long time. Sun Ce's original intention of taking Wancheng was to let the army enter Wancheng from the ladder. The gate of Wancheng has been destroyed by Sun Ce, and what he has to wait for next is the counterattack of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to clear the passage of the gate of Wancheng, which is not only a waste of time. Sun Ce does not have any tools to repair the city gate. This will only let the Bingzhou wolf drive straight in. What is it if it is not Sun Ce's own soldiers and horses!
After a while everyone will understand. Liu Mang's face changed from joy to worry, while Sun Ce's face changed from surprise to killing intent.
"Rush, rush! Help General Liu defend the city!"
"Defend Wancheng. Don't let Sun Ce's army capture Wancheng!"
"Drive Sun Cejun out!" shouted one after another, and one after another, figures rushed up the city wall. They had no armor or shields. Some of them held long forks, some had axes, sickles, and some even held rolling pins. broom! These are the people of Wancheng, and they rushed up the city wall.
"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!" The strong man slapped the burning flames violently with a cloth in his hand. Women, children, young and old, all of them worked hard together to carry the buckets. They were dug up from the wells, one of them was sweating profusely, and the other worked hard. The walls of Wancheng are several feet high, and these common people live in the inner city, fetching water from their homes in the inner city, running One can imagine the effort involved in going to the outer city and then climbing up the city wall.
If they are strong people, it is excusable, they are strong enough to persevere, but how many strong people are left in Wancheng now? The gentry in Wancheng rioted that night, those strong men were pulled over by them and beheaded for credit. There were less than a thousand strong men in the city. The rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.
But even so, they climbed up the city wall and poured buckets of water, and buckets of water on the flames. The spreading speed of the flame slowed down all of a sudden.
"How could it be!" Liu Wei really didn't expect that these people in Wancheng would go up to the city wall to help Lu Bu's army guard Wancheng. Here we come!
There are only less than 30,000 households in Wancheng. There are 10,000 households under the gentry living in manors outside Wancheng. Thousands of households, now looking at the densely packed under the city of Wancheng, there are no less than ten thousand people, or even more.
The flames of everyone picking up materials are high. Although these old and weak women and children are not very strong, there are so many people. It really extinguished more than half of the city wall, and the Lu Bu army and Danyang soldiers on the city wall no longer had to think about killing each other. A section, just enough to accommodate these soldiers.
"People?! How could it be!" Lu Su under the city frowned. He really didn't expect the people of Wancheng to appear. Liu Mang slaughtered thousands of households in Wancheng. He was a butcher. He should be feared by all the people, and the people should hate him to the bone. It would be good not to cause damage to him, but how could he help him defend the city
It is not uncommon for the people to help the prefect and the general to defend the city. For example, Lu Kang, the former owner of Wancheng, was a person who really won the hearts of the people in Wancheng. The Wancheng under his governance was when the Yellow Turban Rebellion ravaged the entire Han Dynasty But it can give the people of Lujiang an extra way of life, so the people of Lujiang are very grateful to him. There is even Lu Kang's longevity ranking in their family. It is Lu Kang who saved them from the flames of war and allowed them to live and work in peace and contentment.
So when Sun Ce attacked Lukang, the city of Wan, there were only 4,000 defenders in Lukang, but because of the people, Sun Ce was forced to fight for two full years! In the end, Lu Kang was trapped and died in the prison in Wancheng, and Sun Ce was also very tired.
It's fine if Lu Kang loves the people, but a butcher like Liu Mang can make the people defend the city. Lu Su didn't understand.
In fact, Lu Su didn't know that the ten thousand households that Liu Mang killed were not from the inner city of Wancheng, but those who lived under the gentry's hands. The turmoil they brought to Wancheng as soon as they entered the city made the people of Wancheng hate it to the bone. How many families were destroyed, if it weren't for this, Liu Mang wouldn't be so cruel that as long as there are people in the family involved, he would kill all of them. .
If this is the case alone, although Liu Mang has received the gratitude of these Wancheng people, it is impossible for these people to go up the city wall to help Lu Bujun. They have been under Sun Ce's hand for several years, and some people even migrated from Jiangdong. However, their affection for Sun Ce is much deeper than that of Lu Bujun, and it was Sun Ce's words that made them make up their minds to go up the city wall and surround Wancheng!
When Wancheng was broken, the whole army indulged for three days. Sun Ce increased the morale of his soldiers and increased their combat effectiveness, but he completely lost the hearts of Wancheng.
These people know that they will not be spared after the city is broken. Instead of their families being ruined after the city is broken, it is better to go up to the city wall and fight hard. It doesn't matter if they die. . )
