A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 190 Enlarging the Gap
As soon as the battle started, the soldiers defending the city realized that things had changed. When Lu Bu attacked the city earlier, it was just a bluff, so as soon as the soldiers defending the city became serious, Lu Bu immediately ordered to withdraw their troops.

But this time, no matter how serious and hard-working the defenders were, they still didn't see Du Huo's army, showing the slightest sign of retreating.

Even, the siege team once climbed to the top of the city and beheaded the lieutenant on the city wall who was in charge of commanding crossbow arrows and bows.

As for the changes in the siege team, the defenders also felt extremely shocked.

As a result, within half an hour of the battle between the two sides, the city of Chengdu almost fell into the hands of Du Huo.

And it wasn't until Liu Xun's sudden joining that the morale of the defenders gradually calmed down again.

Afterwards, although the two sides had many chances to fight against each other, they gradually became somewhat evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell the winner.

On the other side, the city defenders who were responsible for filling the gap and resisting the enemy were facing their most critical moment.

Due to the blockage at the city gate, there were no extra troops in the city, so they were sent here to resist.

So in desperation, the soldiers who stood firm here no longer dared to confront Zhao Yun and others head-on.

At this time, they are urgently deploying wood and rocks in the city, trying to use these things to plug this gap.

However, things backfired, although they have shipped a lot of materials.But as long as they dared to block it, Zhao Yun's side would immediately launch an offensive. There were even times when soldiers rushed into the city.

If they hadn't shot and killed the soldiers who rushed into the city in time, the gap would have been breached by now.

The fighting between the two sides lasted for about two and a half hours. As the temperature gradually rose, both sides wanted a truce.

Especially the siege soldiers on Zhao Yun's side, because they have been fighting all night, their physical fitness and mental state have declined significantly.

If you continue to persist, you may lose the gap as a result.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Zhao Yun immediately sent someone to contact Du Huo, asking Du Huo to assign other generals to attack the gap, while he himself would lead troops to attack the city pass.

After receiving Zhao Yun's battle report, even Du Huodang realized the seriousness of the matter, so he hardly discussed with anyone, and directly ordered Wei Yan to be sent there.

Not long after, the exhausted Zhao Yun led his subordinates back to the barracks outside Chengdu.

At this time, it was the hottest time of the day, and the two sides entered a short truce.

Du Huo and many generals were all gathered in the camp at this time, and after Zhao Yun arrived, their council was also held as scheduled.

"Zilong, after a busy night, how is the situation on the other side of the gap?"

As soon as the meeting started, Du Huo directly asked Zhao Yun a question.

"Returning to my lord, the gap has been fully opened at present, and the scope of the gap is still expanding. According to the general's estimation, it will take about half an hour before the gap can be completely opened.

If at that time, there are not enough troops to stop it, our army can directly enter through the gap and kill the enemy in the city by surprise! "

Zhao Yun's answer was very firm. After a busy day and night, he had obviously found a way to break through the gap.

"Okay! Although the gap has not been fully opened yet, you have finally lived up to your mission! You have been exhausted all night, you should take your soldiers back to rest first!

I guess tonight will be the last moment for us to capture Chengdu City. Maybe then, you and your soldiers can still get a share of the battle! "

Du Huo said half-jokingly, his words instantly made the atmosphere of the current meeting much more harmonious.

"Obey, I will retire at the end!"

At this time Zhao Yun was indeed quite tired, so he left immediately as soon as he got Du Huo's permission.

Regardless of Zhao Yun, the meeting in the tent was still going on at this time, but most of what they were discussing at this time was how to capture the city gate.

Judging from the information they have so far, the number of soldiers in the city should have been reduced by about [-].

And, that doesn't include losses on the other side of the gap.Therefore, if this situation continues to progress, it is estimated that it will not be long before the city gates of Chengdu City will be directly breached.

And until then, Du Huo's army can directly cross the outer city along the Chengguan and reach the inner city.

Although the defenders in the city can still use the inner city wall to guard against the pass, the inner city wall will never be comparable to the outer layer.

Therefore, as long as the outer city gate falls, the inner city will become a decoration.

But right now, Wei Yan on the other side of the gap is still preparing to attack.

Before leaving, Du Huo had specifically instructed Wei Yan that he must break through the gap and enter the city, and then cause riots in the city's defenders inside the city.

If he can directly capture Liu Zhang, then he can directly reverse the situation of this battle.

Therefore, because of Du Huo's instructions, as soon as Wei Yan arrived at the gap, he immediately ordered his soldiers to investigate the situation around the gap.

After his investigation, he found that the reason why the gap could not be broken through quickly at this time was because the distance of the gap was too narrow.

Under normal circumstances, the gap can only accommodate at most five to six people to pass through together. On the other side, with so many defensive soldiers, even if all the soldiers on their side pass through the gap, they still cannot communicate with the guards in the city. The soldiers competed.

So if you want to really capture the gap, you must expand the range of the gap.According to Wei Yan's guess, they had to at least expand the gap to the point where dozens of people could pass through.

As for this point, Zhao Yun had already realized it when he captured this place.It's just that no one informed Wei Yan of this result!
Of course, even though no one told him, Wei Yan also summed up the reason.

Therefore, when the two sides ceased fighting and each was resting, Wei Yan directly ordered the soldiers under his command to continue digging the gap, and the digging of the gap was directly increased to several times the previous one.

While Wei Yan was continuing to dig the city, the soldiers defending the gap were also trying their best to block it.

But helplessly, at this time, all the defensive weapons in charge of defending the city have been transported to the direction of the city gate.Although this place has an absolutely superior commanding height, the soldiers defending the gap do not have any tools that can be used for defense.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Wei Yan ordered the soldiers under his command to continuously dig the city wall, and the application they had sent for deployment of defensive tools had not yet reached the city gate.
