The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 440 Preserving the power of filial piety and fighting for the first place

In siege battles, the defenders often have the upper hand, and even Li Cunxiao's cannon fire could not turn the tide of the battle.On the edge of the moat under the west city gate, the rebels built a series of machine gun bunkers. Li Cheng and his men were beaten back before they could cross the moat.

"General Li, let's retreat, I'm afraid we won't get any benefits if we continue to fight!" A soldier behind advised.

"No, wait a moment, I want to see what skills they have?" Li Cheng's eyes flashed with anger: "Send the order, let the brothers prepare to charge!"

"Yes!" The general beside him responded.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was the sound of beating drums on the city wall. This was the counterattack horn issued by the defenders. Now that the two sides are firing at each other at a distance of less than [-] meters, the artillery has no longer dared to fire.

"Go, go!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Cheng took the lead to kill him, and built a bridge on the moat with ladders.

Dozens of soldiers following behind also rushed to the bunker. They hid in the blind spot of the bunker, unable to raise their heads because of being suppressed.

The defenders on the city wall threw torches at the ladder on the moat, trying to burn the ladder, and Li Cheng and the others were trapped here.

"Damn, it's a pity that there are no explosives, otherwise I will blow up these bunkers." A soldier said angrily.

"Stop making noise, hurry up and get to work!" another soldier reminded.

"it is good!"

The soldiers lowered their heads and continued digging trenches. Li Cheng stared at the bunker not far away, guarding against the rebels sending troops to attack.

"Boom!"

At this moment, waves of ripples suddenly appeared from the upper reaches of the moat.

A group of men and horses jumped into the water and swam with their swords in hand.Li Cheng hastily ordered his soldiers to shoot, but there were so many rebels, and although he had muskets, he still couldn't stop them.

"kill!"

Li Cheng yelled and killed him first.

A group of people rushed into the rebel army, and Li Chenghe's soldiers also killed them one after another.

"Puff, puff, puff."

A number of rebels fell in a pool of blood, and their bodies were thrown in the moat, splashing one after another.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers lay down in the shallow pit dug just now, shooting at the rebels, and finally defeated the rebels.

They fled with their heads in their hands, leaving dead bodies on the ground, and then entered the bunkers. The officers who chased them were shot dead by the rebels in the bunkers.

"Hurry up and build the fortifications, Old Wu, and take someone to protect the ladder!" Li Cheng said hastily.

The bank of the moat was very narrow, and the rebels could not rely on their numerical superiority to eliminate Li Cheng and the others, so they could only let them complete the fortifications. Zhang Pengjing immediately rushed up with his men.

"set fire!"

"Fire their trenches!"

The rebels were cornered and set fire to the ditch dug by Li Cheng and the others outside the city. A few soldiers were unable to dodge, and were doused in hot oil. They rolled on the ground screaming and ignited by torches. burned.

All of a sudden, a large number of rockets in the city flew towards Li Cheng's location.

"not good!"

Li Cheng's expression changed suddenly: "Run!"

"Brothers, rush over with me and kill them all!"

Zhang Pengjing roared, and led the soldiers under his command to march forward bravely, crossing the river along the ladder.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets from the rebels kept shooting at Zhang Pengjing and the others, and soldiers fell to the ground from time to time.

The rebels rushed out of the bunkers, relying on the fortifications to fight against the officers and soldiers. Zhang Pengjing brought a large number of explosive packs. The soldier Li Cheng called Lao Wu rushed to the bunker with red eyes holding three explosive packs. , pull the lead and run.

Two bunkers were blown up, and the group of bunkers was cracked.Zhang Pengjing and Li Cheng led people to rush in through the gap and kill on both sides.

"General, the bunker formation has been broken!" Gu Yang said through gritted teeth.

Kong Weilin's eyes were dark: "Blow up the bunker!"

"What? What about our people?" Gu Yang asked in surprise.

"Do you think the officers and soldiers will spare their lives?" Kong Weilin said calmly: "Set fire to them and kill them, and don't let them get close to the city wall!"

"Yes!" Gu Yang bowed and said.

But his heart is very complicated, He Fen is probably right, Confucianism is really about to perish in the hands of the Confucian family.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of explosions sounded, the bunker was blown up, and the soldiers who were not buried in it fled.

"Li Cheng!" Zhang Pengjing shouted loudly. Dozens of officers and soldiers were buried in the collapsed bunker behind him, and Li Cheng couldn't come out.

"Kill!"

The rebels rushed up again, Zhang Pengjing could only continue to fight.

Li Cunxiao sent reinforcements from the Chinese army. A simple bridge was built on the moat, and artillery built a position on one side to suppress the rebels on the top of the city with artillery.

"General, Li Cheng died in battle." Zhang Pengjing said to Li Cunxiao.

Hearing Zhang Pengjing's words, Li Cunxiao was stunned: "Have a good burial, and you should seize the time to attack the city."

"Follow the order!" Zhang Pengjing responded, and rushed forward with the rest of the soldiers.

"General, Li Cunxiao has brought troops for reinforcements!"

"Hmph, just five thousand cavalry is nothing to worry about. Our artillery is enough to wipe them all out!" Kong Weilin said disdainfully.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of explosions sounded, and the charging officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and rows of musketeers fired wildly on the city wall.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"kill!"

Kong Weilin said to Gu Yang: "We must hold on, Wei Li has already brought people to help."

"Yes!" Gu Yang agreed, and continued to order to shoot.

Kong Weilin quickly ran towards the city with his personal guards.

He wanted to go back to the city and organize the scholars in the city. The defenders were killed and injured, and now they are in urgent need of reinforcements.

Zhang Pengjing took the lead, holding a large shield in his hand, and the bullets bounced off it, making it impossible to penetrate the large shield at all.

The soldiers behind him carried a large number of explosives. They rushed to the gate of the city and placed the explosives against the bullets.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, even the reinforced city gate collapsed.The masonry blocking the door inside also collapsed.

"Rush in!"

Zhang Pengjing roared loudly.

A group of wolf-like elites rushed into the city and fought with the rebels.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The two sides fought in the city, the city gate was blown up, the attack power of the rebels weakened a lot, and the morale also dropped to the lowest level.

Zhang Pengjing led the soldiers to attack continuously, and soon took down the entire city gate.

"Boom!"

"what!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The rebel army was beaten back by the officers and soldiers, and the defenders on the city wall were also shaken because of the fear of being flanked. The firepower dropped sharply, allowing more officers and soldiers to rush into the city.

"Quick! Kill all those rebels!" Li Cunxiao shouted angrily at the gate of the city.

Zhang Pengjing led the soldiers to kill all the rebels and ran all the way to the city lord's mansion.

"Report!"

"Report!"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the officers and soldiers are rushing here."

"What?!" Kong Weili was startled. He couldn't understand why he failed so quickly.

"General, they're almost here!"

"Pass my order, everyone must be on guard and not move without permission!" Kong Weilin said loudly.

"Follow!"

"General, the rebels have been defeated by us! But the situation at the government office is complicated. Go and have a look!" Ma Rui said with his hand.
