Chapter 314 Battle of Hefei (2)(2/3)

The battlefield in the east of the city is now tight, with only three to four thousand defenders.

But there are more than ten thousand people in this Wu army, and each of them seems to have changed their temper. This is the first time they see Wu Jun who is not afraid of death.

Quan Cong, who was directing the battle, stared at the battlefield and secretly shouted in his heart: 'Who said that I, the Great Wu, are not good at land warfare? Who said that I, the Great Wu, are not good at land warfare!'

"Team 4! Enter!"

Seeing that his side was advantageous in front, Quan Cong immediately asked the fourth echelon to join the battlefield, because he had discovered that the Wei army's defenders on the east wall were not very strong.

Also, he already knew about the battle at the South City Gate.

Ding Feng replaced Zhu Ju as the vanguard and has also begun to attack the south gate. Now the Wei army is attacking two gates. As long as the offensive continues unabated, the city of Hefei will be breached in a short time.

However, the Wei army was naturally not a bully. Facing Wu Jun's strong attack, they fought even more vigorously. Even without a general, they did not allow Wu Jun to easily climb the city.

Of course, as Zhang Hu later arrived at the East City Gate and the Wei army's garrison strength was replenished, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Wei army were also greatly strengthened.

The two southeastern city gates experienced a day and night of fierce fighting.

The city of Hefei is still in the hands of the Wei army.

Although the Wu army had climbed to the top of the city many times, under the desperate fighting of the Wei army, the Wu army was still driven back again and again.

However, although the city was defended.

However, Wei Jun also paid a heavy price for this.

After a day and night of fighting, the 30,000 Wei troops in Hefei were reduced sharply to just over 22,000, and seven to eight thousand people died in the battle day and night.

This casualty still makes Le Wei a little scared.

Fortunately, after the Wu army attacked for a day and a night, they temporarily stopped the attack.

"Prefect!" Zhang Hu said tiredly: "There is something wrong with Wu Jun this time!"

"In the past, when they encountered setbacks, they just ran away;" Zhang Hu frowned and said, "But this time, they seemed not to be afraid of death and charged with all their might."

"Yeah!" Le Wei also nodded and said: "Wu Jun has changed, completely changed. They are no longer the Wu Jun before."

"Prefect, when will the imperial reinforcements arrive?" Zhang Hu asked.

Before the war started, Zhang Hu didn't care about the reinforcements at all. In his opinion, it didn't matter whether the reinforcements came or not, because the one who attacked the city was Sun Quan, the Emperor of Soochow. It was okay for this guy to shout slogans, but if he really led the troops to attack the city, he could only

That’s right.

But things are different now. After this day and night of fighting, he is now very anxiously looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

"Alas!" Le Wei sighed and said, "It will take at least ten days to get to Hefei from Luoyang, even if we travel day and night."

"Ten days?" Zhang Hu's eyes widened.

After only one day and one night of fighting, Hefei lost seven to eight thousand people. If they were allowed to hold on for another ten days, how could this be possible?

Unless, unless, unless Sun Quan temporarily stops the attack, giving the Wei reinforcements enough time to rush to the rescue.

"Victory in the first battle!" Sun Quan said with great joy: "The generals must not slack off because of this. Rest the entire army for half a day and continue to attack Hefei. Don't be sure to capture Hefei before Cao Wei's reinforcements arrive."

After a day and night of strong attacks, Sun Quan saw the hope of victory. In the past, when the Wu army attacked the city, they would be defeated even if they suffered a slight setback. They would no longer have fighting power, and in the end they could only choose to retreat.

For more than ten years, Sun Quan suddenly felt that the resentment he had suppressed in his heart was released at this moment, and he also realized that he was really wrong before.

"Quan Cong, Ding Feng!"

Sun Quan glanced at the generals in the tent, and finally looked at Quan Cong, Ding and Feng. He said with satisfaction: "The victory in the first battle is all the result of the two beauties. When the city is defeated, I will fight with the two beauties.

Just get drunk and rest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two of them thanked each other in unison. As for the other generals, they all had gloomy faces at this time. They knew that the emperor had changed, and in the future, these two people would become heavyweights in the Wu court.

Winning the first battle can indeed be regarded as a great victory for Soochow. Although they failed to capture the city, it was indeed a victory.

Although more than 10,000 people lost their lives as a result, Sun Quan also saw that Wu's soldiers had boarded the city of Hefei more than once.

For Sun Quan, this is victory.

The afternoon of November 19, 240 AD.

The Wu army once again launched a fierce attack on Hefei. The generals leading the army were still Ding Feng and Quan Cong. Naturally, the Wei army in Hefei also had prefect Le Wei guarding the south gate, and deputy general Zhang Hu guarding the east gate.

There had been a day and night of fighting before, and the Wei army in Hefei naturally did not dare to underestimate this Wu army.

The Wu army attacking the city also found that they could beat Cao Wei very nervously and reach the top of the city because of the previous battle.

We are good at land warfare.

In the first attack on the city, the Wu army only attacked for a day and a night before stopping. But this time, I don’t know whether it was Sun Quan’s idea or Ding Feng and Quan Cong’s idea.

From the beginning of the siege, they seemed to have no intention of stopping.

The Wu army divided the soldiers into more than ten echelons and took turns to attack Hefei. The two sides fought to the death for two days and two nights at the southeast gates of Hefei.

However, in comparison, although the fighting between the two sides was very fierce in the past two days, after two days and two nights, the number of casualties on both sides was not as serious as that on the first day.

In two days and two nights, the Wei army lost 6,000 people, seriously injured 3,000, and suffered countless minor injuries.

On the Wu army side, nine thousand people were killed, six thousand were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured.

Hefei——

Still in the hands of the Wei army.

However, after two days and two nights of fighting, the Wu army did not stop attacking the city. They just slowed down the frequency of the siege slightly to give the soldiers a little chance to breathe.

However, Wei Jun did not have this respite.

Because compared to the 100,000 Wu army, the Wei army only had 30,000 people in total. After this continuous fierce battle, their casualties had reached the extreme.

"Reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements!"

During the breaks in the fighting, Zhang Hu roared like this more than once. He expected reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

Because if the reinforcements don't come to reinforce them, they really may not be able to hold on.

The Wu army has many soldiers and generals, and they can handle it calmly even if they attack the city in a wheel battle, but the same cannot be said for the Wei army. The only generals in Hefei are Zhang Hu and the prefect Le Wei.

From the moment the war began, they had not slept for several days.

"General!"

"General, please take a rest first!" a small school principal consoled with distress.

However, Zhang Hu did not dare to rest. Although the Wu army's attack frequency has slowed down, it is only slowing down and has no intention of stopping.

"No need, I can still hold on!"

"Coming, coming!"

"Everyone get up!"

"Get ready to meet the enemy!"

Not even half an hour after resting, the Wu army came to kill them again. After these days of fighting, the Wei army's three-bow crossbow had stopped firing.

Why?

Because now there is no gun to shoot with!

Starting from this morning, the Wei army's method of defending the city was more of hand-to-hand combat. Each of them exhaustedly guarded the city head, and then waited for the Wu army to climb up the city wall, and then used the sword in their hands to greet them.

"Kill!"

When a new wave of Wu troops came to the top of the city, Zhang Hu quickly rushed forward and slashed at the Wu troops who were advancing on the city with his already curled sword.

The Wei army now has no rotating officers. They have been fighting for a whole day, but the Wu army is taking turns to fight. So at this time, the morale of the Wu army is greatly shaken, but the Wei army is dragging its tired body in order to defend the city.

Use their last breath.

Perhaps feeling that the Wei army was at the end of its battle, Quan Cong outside the east city gate watched more and more Wu troops ascending to the top of the city and were strangling the Wei army at the top of the city.

"Charge the whole army!" Quan Cong shouted loudly. At the same time, he also raised his horse and whip: "Hefei will be defeated today!"

"Hefei will be destroyed today!"

In an instant, a large group of Wu troops under the city continued to rush towards the city.

On the top of the city, the defenders were obviously struggling. Although they were still fighting tenaciously, Zhang Hu was also anxious in the face of more and more Wu troops.

"Reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements!"

However, no matter how much he shouted, what he saw outside the city was still the charging Wu army.

Suddenly, a scimitar flew out.

The Wei troops on the left and right were so frightened that they rushed towards Zhang Hu.

"General, be careful!"
