The battle at the head of Xinye City is still going on, and it has lasted from morning to evening.
Although Liu Ke had the upper hand, fortunately Sun Ce resisted with all his strength and did not completely lose the city.
Both sides have been fighting for so long, and they are all extremely exhausted, and they have reached the point where their fuel is exhausted.
At this moment, the craftsmen behind Liu Ke finally assembled the boulder catapult and began formal debugging.
"Boom!"
With a huge sound erupting, a huge boulder fell from the sky.
Then, after drawing an arc in the air, it hit the city wall heavily.
The boulders collided fiercely with the city wall, and the broken bricks and stones flew, some of which even hit Dian Wei.
Dian Wei was caught off guard and was startled.
He immediately frowned and shouted outside the city: "Hey, be careful, I'm still on the city wall!"
In fact, this shooting was completely a mistake, and it was caused by accidentally triggering the mechanism.
However, this huge impact shocked everyone instantly.
Especially Cheng Pu, when he was in Fuxian County, he had seen the power of such a weapon with his own eyes.
The city wall several feet thick in Fuxian County can be defeated by it. This kind of power is no longer something ordinary people can handle.
Although others did not see it lightly, they had also followed Sun Ce to see the tragic situation in Fuxian County with their own eyes.
That scene has already left a deep impression on them.
So after this accidental shooting, the morale of Sun Ce's men instantly dropped to freezing point.
Because they have to guard against the enemy on top of the city, and at the same time, they also have to be wary of falling boulders.
Liu Ke, who was in the distance, couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the deterrent effect of this boulder is much stronger than arrows!"
Speaking, one or two bow and arrows may not die after all.
¡°But no one can escape the fate of being turned into meat when photographed by a boulder.
So Liu Ke simply ordered the giant catapult to continue bombarding.
However, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the defenders on the city, he specifically ordered his sight to be shifted a few points.
In this way, every bombardment can just hit the city wall and fly out, but it will not affect the people on the wall.
Although it seems harmless, the psychological pressure caused by the boulder is extremely huge.
It won¡¯t fall on top of your head before, but what about the next one? What about the next one? There is always no way to escape.
Under such a threat, the defenders on Cheng Pu's side could not hold on at first.
They have had a profound experience before, and the shock caused by this time is also the greatest for them.
The army actually opened the north gate and ran out of the city. Not even Cheng Pu could stop them.
The defense of the city is that all areas are integrated. If any point is breached, it will affect the overall situation.
The north gate suddenly opened wide, causing not only the loss of the city gate, but also a major impact on other armies that were still holding on.
For example, the defenders at the east and west gates thought the north gate had been breached by the enemy?
These people were already frightened, and now they could no longer control their inner fear.
Therefore, the army finally began to collapse.
Cheng Pu also rushed out of the city to gather the frightened army.
But his behavior was misunderstood by others as abandoning the city and fleeing.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The other soldiers didn't follow suit, and one by one they started to do the same.
So, after the first batch of defeats at the north gate, the east gate immediately started, and then the west gate.
In the end, only the defenders at the south gate were left.
They were not unaffected, because the leader of the South Gate was Sun Ce.
The soldiers are all specially trained by Sun Ce and are loyal to him.
The coach is still fighting with Dian Wei, how could they all suddenly run away?
It¡¯s just that the partial general Dong Xi, who was responsible for guarding Sun Ce¡¯s safety, had already seen changes in other directions.
His expression changed drastically, and he hurried forward to inform Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was focused on fighting Dian Wei and did not pay attention to the incident.
When Dong Xi reminded me, it was like waking up from a dream, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"The so-called defeat is like a mountain. Isn't this something that can be undone by human power?"
Sun Ce¡¯s face was solemn, his brows furrowed, and he was constantly making calculations in his mind.
Finally, he finally made the decision to abandon Xinye and retreat back to Tuoyang.
In this way, we can gather the troops along the way, and when Gong Jin comes, we will still have the strength to fight.
Therefore, Sun Ce abandoned Dian Wei and quickly ordered his army to retreat.
It¡¯s just that as the last army to retreat, the situation is no longer as smooth as it was at the beginning.
Therefore, when the siege troops in the other direction saw that there were enemy troops holding on here, they all surrounded it.
As soon as Sun Ce got off the city wall, he was blocked by Zhao Yun.
The opponent's momentum was like a rainbow and it was the moment when he was invincible. Sun Ce did not want to continue to struggle with him, so he could only rush in other directions.
But now many siege troops have gathered in the city, and when they saw Sun Ce, they all gathered around like flies that smelled a fishy smell.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous, Sun Ce became more and more anxious.
In the end, he finally stopped hiding and ran away, and instead rushed straight to the front.
Along the way, people blocked people and killed Buddha, and Buddha blocked Buddha, and he fully understood the reputation of the little bully.
Under his leadership, the defenders finally found a way out and escaped through the north gate.
When Zhao Yun saw this, he led Baima Yicong to chase him.
Dian Wei led the remaining guards and cleared out the remaining defiant defenders in the city one by one.
Finally, Xinye City was completely accepted.
Dianwei arranged for his deputy to be here, and he immediately rushed out of the city and rushed to Liu Ke to report.
"Your Majesty, the thief Sun Ce has abandoned the city and fled, and now all the new fields have returned to your Majesty!"
Liu Ke was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately praised the hard work of the siege soldiers.
After a while, Zhao Yun also returned.
He was similar to Dian Wei, both covered in blood, but Zhao Yun's heavy breathing was more obvious.
"To report back to Your Majesty, Sun Ce escaped and the general will pursue him.
But in the end, he escaped. Please forgive me, Your Majesty! "
Liu Ke did not blame the other party, but instead helped Zhao Yun up with both hands.
¡°Zilong, being able to capture Xinye City is already a great achievement.
The fact that Sun Ce ran away only shows that he is fast, and cannot blame you for losing the position.
So don¡¯t worry, come and follow me into the city! "
"As he said this, Liu Ke took Dian Wei and Zhao Yun with his left and right hands respectively, and walked towards Xinye together.
The two of them were equally excited by Liu Ke's special treatment, as if they had received a great honor.
But Sun Ce was as hasty as a bereaved dog, running away for a long time before slowly stopping.
Along the way, other deserters have also been regrouped by the generals and returned to Sun Ce one after another.
Regarding this defeat, Sun Ce was rare and did not get angry, nor did he mean to blame others. He just kept silent and moved forward. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
