In order to capture Shouchun City as soon as possible, Sun Qian relied on his large crowds and launched an attack from all sides of Shouchun at the same time. The battle was so fierce that it was unprecedented.

Sima Yichang was still valued by Sun Jing, and he led his troops to attack the south gate of Shouchun. This was also the main attack direction of the Wu army's attack this time. Sun Jing hoped that Sima Yichang could still use his strength to conquer the new city and defeat Shouchun in one fell swoop.

Sima Yicheng was not as expected by Sun Jing. In the attack on Shouchun City, Sima's army was more active and worked very hard to become the main force of the Wu army's siege.

The main reason why Sima Yiqiang fought so aggressively was that Sima Yiqiang saw the hope of revenge. Shouchun was an important town in Huainan and a springboard for entering the Central Plains. If the Wu army could capture Shouchun, then Sima Yiqiang's road to revenge would be extremely smooth. After obtaining Shouchun, the Wu army could spy on the Central Plains. Therefore, this battle was also extremely important for Sima Yiqiang. If he didn't work hard, who would still work hard for it?

In addition to continuing to reuse Sima Yichang, Sun Jing replaced veteran Ding Feng. The main reason was that Ding Feng had previously opposed his advance.

Sun Jing is a vengeful person. From the time he killed Zhu Yi in the formation, he could see how narrow his mind and demeanor were.

This time, Ding Feng was abandoned, and Sun Jing reused his confidant generals Zhu Xiong and Zhu Suan and his younger brother General Sun Gan, and asked them to lead their troops to attack the east gate, west gate and north gate of Shouchun respectively.

Sun Feng didn't use Ding Feng, who was the bravest army, but he just used Zhu Xiong and Zhu Suan, who were only good at flattering and had little talent, so he could imagine the efficiency of siege.

Ding Feng is now one of the few remaining generals in the Wu army. Ding Feng had been in the Battle of Chibi that year. Later, Wu State attacked Wei many times. Ding Feng has always been the leader, charging into battle, and being bravest among the three armies. Especially in the Battle of Dongxing, Ding Feng fought hard in the snow and defeated the Wu army. He became famous and was known as the number one brave general of the Wu State.

But just because he advised Sun Feng for a few words, Sun Feng became angry and took Ding Feng's military power and led the army with his confidants.

This kind of nepotism that is not divided into occasions is simply nonsense. On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to change generals at the last minute, which is extremely easy to shake the morale of the army. What's more, Sun Gan and Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun had never had the experience of commanding the army to fight. At this moment, they were asked to lead their troops to attack Shouchun, which was completely a matter of rushing the ducks to put them on the shelves.

Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lun looked bitter, but when they faced Sun Feng's suggestion, they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to bite the bullet and go to command.

The Wu army does have congenital shortcomings in siege operations. Even generals like Ding Feng and Zhu Yi are unable to command the operations, let alone Zhu Xiong and Zhu Lunsun Gan, the raw melon seeds on the battlefield. Their attacks were completely disorganized and messy. There was almost no other way except urging Wu soldiers to charge up behind the formation.

Therefore, although the Wu army is crowded with people, its attack method is extremely single and does not have flexible tactics. Such an attack seems to be unable to shake Shouchun's city defense except for adding some souls.

The defense of Shouchun City is extremely complete, and it is even equipped with heavy defensive weapons such as catapults, arrow towers, and crossbows. The defense equipment such as bows and arrows, rolling wood, rocks, gold juice, boiling oil, boiling water is also available. Before the Wu army could attack the city, it was already attacked by the Wei army's long-range weapons. The catapults roared out stone bullets, and the dense Wu army was hit one after another. Often, a stone bullet could cause multiple casualties.

Of course, for the large number of Wu Jun, it was not a big deal to die a few people, but the irresistible stone bullets brought to Wu Jun a huge psychological shadow. They raised their heads one by one and stared at the sky, fearing that the next stone bullet would come and hit him on his head.

In this panic state, the morale of the Wu army's offensive was naturally not much higher. The Wei army's catapult was just the first wave of attacks. Once they continued to move forward, they would suffer a more intensive blow. Rainy arrows poured down from the city, and the Wu soldiers could only carry shields and struggled to move forward.

But the shield's defense area is limited after all, and the arrow rain is almost mercury, and it is everywhere. The arms and legs exposed outside are easily shot by arrows. Once injured, they will lose their combat ability.

Even if you are lucky enough to advance to the city, the wide moat is also an insurmountable obstacle. If you want to attack the city, you must first fill the moat.

Fortunately, the Wu soldiers were numerous and powerful. When they moved forward, each of them took a cloth bag, filled with soil, and threw these cloth bags into the moat. Tens of thousands of cloth bags were thrown down, but the moat was still not filled.

Wu Jun had no choice but to go back and find a cloth bag to fill the soil. The cloth bags he prepared were gone, and Wu Bing could only put on his military uniform, wrapped the soil in his military uniform, and then rushed up and threw it into the moat.

The moat in Shouchun is wide and deep. It took almost a whole day for the Wu army to fill in a few passable roads. After a lot of trouble, the Wu army had already suffered casualties before it could attack the city. Seeing that it was getting late, the Wu army could only withdraw its troops and attack again tomorrow.

After crossing the moat and erecting a ladder, Shouchun's siege officially kicked off.

But what was waiting for the Wu army was a more intensive attack. In addition to arrows, a large number of rolling wooden stones were thrown down from the city. These heavy city defense weapons were not something that Wu Bing could withstand with a thin shield. A stone with a large head was enough to smash Wu Bing's shield, let alone a long rolling wooden, rolling down the ladder, and sweeping across a large area. Squarely, the Wu Bing was swept down from the ladder, either dead or injured.

The first thing the Wei army wanted to destroy was the cloud ladder used by the Wu army to attack the city. They poured boiling oil down from the top of the city, which not only could burn the Wu soldiers, but the entire cloud ladder was also soaked with oil. Then they threw out a torch, and the long cloud ladder would immediately ignite a raging fire, and even the Wu soldiers on the cloud ladder were burned.

Amid the painful wail, the ladder broke, and countless Wu soldiers fell down, three or four feet high, and if they fell down, they were basically either dead or disabled.

The battle was going on very tragic. In less than a few hours, the corpses under the city were already piled up like hills.
