Chapter 243 (1/2)

When Gongsun Zan didn't touch the sword, Gongsun fan and Yan Gang immediately went to persuade Gongsun Zan. This was to save the soldier's life. Yan Gang asked the sergeant, ”say! What's going on? ”

The sergeant was not a fool. Of course, he understood that Yan Gang was saving his life. He quickly clasped his fist and said, ”back, back, report to the Lord. Cao's army outside the city has begun to attack the city!”

”What!” The three people in the hall were stunned. Gongsun Zan even forgot to kill the sergeant. He took his two generals to run outside. He led the horse in the prefect's mansion and turned over to mount the horse. Then he remembered that he didn't know that the gate was attacked!

”Dong! Bang! Bang Gongsun Zan and his two generals clapped their horses to the north of the city without saying a word.

As soon as we got to the bottom of the city wall in the north of the city, the sound of the impact became more and more loud. Every sound seemed to hit Gongsun Zan's heart. At the gate, hundreds of soldiers were standing behind the gate with their own bodies. It was obvious that the sound of percussion came from outside the gate.

Gongsun Zan took a pale look at the gate, and then rushed to the head of the city. Gongsun fan and Yan Gang looked at each other and immediately followed.

As soon as he got to the head of the city, he saw all the soldiers standing there. Gongsun Zan didn't fight at all. But when he turned his head and looked out of the city, Gongsun Zan could not help taking a deep breath.

Looking out of the city, it is a dense area of soldiers are rushing towards the city wall. Under the city head, there are already many soldiers climbing the wall. A group of about dozens of soldiers are carrying a huge log to hit the city gate.

”What's going on?” Yan Gang and Gongsun fan, who came up from behind, also looked silly, ”how can the number of Cao Jun become so many? There must be at least 150000 people here

”I see!” Yan Gang suddenly exclaimed, ”it's soldiers! It's a surrender! ” It occurred to several people that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had defeated the reinforcements of Daijun and Yicheng. Those extra soldiers must be the Youzhou troops who surrendered.

Gongsun Zan was awakened by Yan Gang's exclamation. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He drew his sword from Gongsun fan's waist behind him, cut down a dazed soldier, and yelled: ”what are you doing! Keep the city for me

Gongsun Zan was so angry that the soldiers in the city came back to their senses one by one. Under the command of Yan Gang and Gongsun fan, they began to organize an attack on the Cao army under the city head.

Fortunately, Cao's army was obviously not ready to attack the city. Otherwise, the soldiers of guangchengtou would have been attacked for a long time. So it's not too late for the defenders to start fighting back. On the contrary, because Cao's troops are too dense under the city, the stones and oil from the city's head play a more effective role.

Looking in front of the gate, those Cao troops are still under the shield of the shield carrying the huge wood to hit the gate. Yan Gang hurriedly commands several defenders to attack the gate. Yan Gang saw a pot of boiling oil cooked, quickly drink: ”quick! Come on! Bring that pot of oil here! Come on The garrison obeyed Yan Gang's instructions, and lifted the pot of boiling oil directly above the gate of the city and poured it on the head of Cao Jun, who was carrying the giant wood.

”Ah!” There was a scream at the bottom of the city. Although the shield could hold the boulders and arrows, it couldn't block the liquid oil. All the oil flowed down the shield to the Cao Jun below, which made Cao Jun scalded to pieces. They couldn't hold the huge wood at all and rolled on the ground one by one.

”Take the bow and arrow!” When Gongsun fan looked at it, he immediately thought of a way. When the guards handed over the bow and arrow, Gongsun fan first did not take the bow and arrow, but pulled off the hem of his clothes and tied it directly to the arrow. Then he took the arrow and set it on fire in the oil burning campfire. Then he took the bow and aimed the simple rocket at the huge wood under the city and shot it.

The rocket accurately hit the huge wood covered with boiling oil. As soon as the oil touched the fire on the arrow, it immediately burned up. In a short time, the whole giant wood was burned, and even several Cao Jun's bodies were also on fire.

”Third brother! Well done Gongsun Zan looked at it, cheered loudly, and let other soldiers follow suit. They made simple rockets and fired at the places under the city where the oil was spilled. After a while, a fire wall was set up at the bottom of the city, which not only prevented the Cao troops who had just rushed in, but also directly fell into the fire with huge stones and arrows, and the people who were burned by the fire kept screaming.

In Cao's camp not far from the city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who have been watching the battle, can't help clapping their legs, and Zhang Fei is even more anxious to scold his mother. However, Jia Xu, who was sitting on the side, always kept a smiling expression, as if he had already known about the sudden counterattack at the head of the city.
