The battle in Xiapi City lasted for a day and a night. Meng Lin's 38,000 men took turns to attack the historic city. The 50 ballistae were firing wildly, and half of them were damaged in just a day.
At the foot of the city wall, there were countless corpses, and the top of the city wall was already dyed red with blood.
This battle could only be described as tragic.
"Lunatics, these lunatics, block them for me.”Cao Bao roared hoarsely, but Mei Fang could hear a trace of fear in his voice. Cao Bao was already afraid of being beaten.
Cao Bao and Mei Fang couldn't help but look at a high platform a mile away. Meng Lin had been standing there since the start of the battle. He was like a javelin, motionless.
When all the soldiers were tired, they would be energized when they saw Meng Lin. If anyone wanted to retreat, Meng Lin's personal guards would personally behead them.
Cao Bao and Mi Fang were terrified. They even subconsciously avoided Meng Lin's gaze.
Other than the two of them, there were also people watching Meng Lin. They were Liu Bei and his two brothers on a small hill behind Meng Lin's camp. The three brothers were followed by 10,000 soldiers. They had been here since Meng Lin started the battle.
"Big brother, this Meng Lin is crazy. If this continues, he will be wiped out.”"Even if you don't cherish your soldiers, you can't do this." Zhang Fei said in shock.”
Guan Yu laughed coldly." He won't feel sorry for them. These are all Yellow Turban thieves. Besides, he doesn't have time to feel sorry for them. He'll be so crazy these few days."”
"Second brother, how many days do you think Cao Bao can last?”Liu Bei asked seriously.
"Not necessarily." "I'm not sure about this. I wonder if Mister Sun Qian is confident." Guan Yu said seriously.”
Liu Bei and his brothers looked at Sun Qian. Sun Qian smiled bitterly and said,""My lord, it's only a matter of time before Meng Lin takes Xiapi City. At most, it'll be today or tomorrow. We can only attack when he attacks Xiapi.”
Liu Bei couldn't help but frown when he heard this. In the end, he said seriously,""No matter what, we have no way out.”
"Yes!"
……
The sky slowly darkened. After another day of attacks, the Xu Prefecture soldiers on the city wall could not hold on any longer. Many of them died of exhaustion on the city wall.
However, the survivors gritted their teeth and persevered. Once night fell, the intensity of Lin Meng's army's attacks would decrease significantly. At that time, everyone would be able to rest.
"Persevere!" Cao Bao roared," There's still an hour before the sky turns dark. Everyone, hold on."”
The morale of the Xu Prefecture army rose, and everyone gritted their teeth and persevered with their last breath.
However, Meng Lin sneered at this moment. He stretched his stiff neck and said to the people around him,"The time has come."
"There's no need to persuade him. The time has come!" "Dian Man led his men to attack the city. If we can't take down the city wall in an hour, bring your head here."”
"Yes, sir!" Not only was Dian Man not afraid, he even roared excitedly.
Meng Lin roared again," The enemy will definitely retreat into the city and fight in the streets. Dian Wei will lead his men and clear the enemy as quickly as possible. Kill those who don't surrender and those who plunder the people. Focus on protecting the granary and encircle the City Lord's Mansion."”
"Yes, sir!" Dian Wei agreed loudly.
"Kill them with me!" Dian Man roared in excitement and led his men to charge up the city wall.
The expressions of the Xu Prefecture soldiers on the city wall changed drastically. Another fresh force had rushed up. They were finished! The morale of the attacking army soared. With help, they could take down the city wall in one go.
"Not good, block it, block it for me.”Cao Bao shouted desperately.
"Brother Cao, quickly retreat. Retreat to the city and rely on the familiar alleys to fight with them. As long as we delay for a few days, Lord Tao Qian will definitely come to our aid.”Mi Fang shouted.
Only then did Cao Bao come back to his senses and roared angrily,"Retreat, all of you retreat! Retreat into the city and fight with them in the streets, fighting for every inch of land.”
In the time for an incense stick to burn, Dian Man had completely occupied the city wall. He cheered excitedly,"Hurry up! Open the city gates and cooperate with the Long Halberd Army to clear out the Xu Prefecture army. Xiapi City is ours.”
Creak!
The huge gate of Xiapi City, which was made of 100,000 catties of refined iron, slowly opened. The entire city finally opened its arms to Lin Meng and the others.
"Go, wipe out the Xu Prefecture army." Dian Wei laughed loudly, and the three thousand soldiers marched into Xiapi City in an orderly fashion.
Meng Lin smiled. He knew that Xiapi City was now his. Everything was worth it. His hard work had finally paid off.
"Good!" Liu Bei laughed in surprise." Meng Lin only has 3,000 cavalrymen and 1,000 infantrymen left. This is our chance. Hahaha."”
"Big brother, there's no time to lose. Let's quickly fight.”Zhang Fei cheered excitedly.
"Alright, everyone, charge!" Liu Bei laughed heartily.
The war drums sounded, and the 10,000-strong army charged at Meng Lin crazily.
"They're finally here. A bunch of little mice. They really can't hold their breaths.”Meng Lin sneered in disdain.
