With the joint efforts of Deng Fang and Chen Dao, Zhang Liao still did not fall behind when fighting one against two, but his subordinates were different.
Because all of Liu Bei's army was huddled in the city, countless troops were constantly being replenished behind the defenders on the city wall.
The speed of their reinforcements is naturally far faster than the speed of Zhang Liao's men climbing the city wall.
So as Liu Bei continued to send troops to support, the defense line that had been loosened just now finally stabilized again.
However, Liu Bei¡¯s frown still did not relax.
Because he knew very well that the relaxation in front of him was actually only a temporary situation.
In fact, because Liu Ke attacked very fiercely, the casualties of the soldiers were very heavy.
Naturally, the effective force in the city is gradually decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. At some point, the soldiers on hand will be exhausted.
And, more importantly, he is not staying here to be buried with Lexiang, but to wait for Zhang Fei's arrival.
In other words, Liu Bei will always break through in the end, so the more troops he consumes now, the higher the risk of his breaking out.
The intersection of various conflicts also made Liu Bei's brows furrowed and never eased.
For Liu Ke, there was also some confusion.
"If I were to get along with Liu Bei in a different place, I would definitely not fight in this isolated city, but would resolutely abandon him to avoid the edge.
Liu Bei has been on the battlefield for half his life, and it is impossible not to see through the situation in front of him.
However, he just did this, which is really puzzling.
I saw Liu Ke slowly saying: "My dear friends, tell me, why does Liu Bei cling to this worthless city of Lexiang?"
Liu Ke¡¯s question stumped everyone. Even the most resourceful Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others were stunned and speechless.
Yes, who would have thought that Liu Bei would be like this?
Jia Xu tried to analyze: "Could it be that the enemy saw that they couldn't escape and simply wanted to fight us to the death here?"
"That's not right!" Before Liu Ke could speak, Xu Shu said, "Based on my understanding of Liu Bei, this man has great ambitions and perseverance.
Even if such a person fails thousands of times, it is still difficult to change his mind. As long as he is given a chance, he will surely make a comeback in due course.
Therefore, there will never be any behavior of self-destruction. Even if he encounters the current situation, he must work hard to break through.
Then return to a safe place and recharge your batteries for a comeback.
" Moreover, Lexiang is an isolated city with no danger and no help. How could Liu Bei rush to a decisive battle?
Based on a guess, the other party must be planning some kind of conspiracy! "
Listening to his analysis, Liu Ke nodded slightly and agreed very much.
In fact, this is similar to what he thought before, but Liu Ke is still puzzled as to what Liu Bei's conspiracy is.
In the end, after a long discussion among the ministers, no valuable results were produced.
Liu Ke had no choice but to say cautiously: "Okay, there is no point in discussing it any further. No matter what tricks Liu Bei is playing.
As long as our army exerts its due strength, it will definitely use force to defeat cleverness, no matter what plots and tricks he has, we can crush them all! "
Liu Ke¡¯s words can be regarded as bringing an end to this discussion.
At this moment, a soldier ran in and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the enemy's guards are very tight.
Our army has launched three attacks, but they were all driven out of the city. "
Liu Ke said with a smile: "Liu Bei is quite a tough guy. But don't worry, I just love tough stuff.
Xingba, have you transported the small catapult that was dismantled from the warship? "
Gan Ning hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, they have all been dismantled. There are ten in total.
"It's just that the rain-soaked mud along the way from Jiang'an to Lexiang delayed the delivery. I'm afraid it won't arrive until tomorrow! "
When Liu Ke heard this, he frowned and said, "You must be quick. If the catapult arrives a moment earlier, the soldiers will suffer much less damage!"
Gan Ning was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the general will personally supervise the transportation and make sure it arrives within today!"
After Liu Ke nodded slightly, Gan Ning immediately ran out.
Due to the increasing casualties from the front attack and Gan Ning's delay in returning from transporting a small catapult, Liu Ke could only temporarily stop the siege.
However, although the frontal assault has stopped, the continuous harassment has continued.
Under Liu Ke¡¯s arrangement, thousands of archers surrounded Lexiang City and continuously fired arrows into the city.
Originally, when Liu Bei's army saw the siege troops withdrawing, they were just about to take a breather and rushed to the city wall to rest.
Unexpectedly, the overwhelming arrows fell again, and the soldiers still on the city wall suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
With no choice but to evacuate everyone, the city suddenly became empty.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Liao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Originally, as the main attacking general, he should be the first to break through the enemy's defense and seize the city.
But because the enemy's defense was too tight, they finally returned without success.
So Zhang Liao was worried about this and didn't want to rest for a moment.
Now seeing the empty defense on the top of the city, I instantly thought of a good way to draw out the firepower.
Zhang Liao quickly stood up and shouted: "Soldiers, prepare your axes and logs, and charge forward with me."
However, although the enemy was threatened by bows and arrows, there were still many soldiers hiding on the city wall to secretly observe the opponent's actions.
Seeing a group of people rushing towards the city wall again, I quickly prepared to fight.
But this time Zhang Liao¡¯s target was not the city wall, but the city gate located in the middle of the city wall.
He had already discovered during the attack that the city gate here was actually an ordinary wooden gate.
Unlike other fortified cities, the outside is covered with iron sheets.
Such wooden doors have become somewhat decayed after being exposed to wind and rain for a long time.
So Zhang Liao set his sights on the city gate this time, preparing to lead a group of elite soldiers to destroy the city gate directly, so that he could march straight in and take only the city.
Seeing this, the enemy troops quickly tried their best to stop him, but as soon as he escaped, he was greeted by an archer outside the city and was instantly shot into a hedgehog.
In this way, Zhang Liao finally took advantage of this rare opportunity and rushed under the city gate.
However, the closer they got, the more intense the enemy's resistance became, and one-third of the soldiers they originally brought were lost.
Zhang Liao's eyes were red, but he couldn't care about it. He held an ax and a chisel and led his soldiers to start chipping away at the city gate.
Sawdust was flying all over the sky, and in a short time a hole was drilled through the city gate. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
