However, the catapult in Cheng Pu's hand was not as powerful as the giant catapult invented by Liu Ke.

Its range is very short, just covering part of the moat.

Moreover, the number of trebuchets is too small, compared with the densely packed enemy army below the city, it is no different from a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, before Cheng Pu had time to attack for a few rounds, the enemy had already rushed to the city.

In order to capture the city as soon as possible, Dian Wei offered a very high reward.

Those vanguard troops yelled and climbed to the top of the city for the reward.

Seeing this, Cheng Pu hurriedly launched the next step of defense, rolling stones and trees, burning oil and fireballs, and using all kinds of means.

When Sun Quan left, in order to allow Jiangling to block the enemy for a longer time, he prepared a lot of defensive materials in the city.

So under Cheng Pu's use regardless of cost, he finally contained the enemy's momentum.

The opponent attacked the city for many times in a row, but was still stopped by Cheng Pu in the end.

In such a scene, Dian Wei yelled anxiously, wishing he could rush forward.

However, the subordinates were worried that if the general was injured, it would affect morale even more, so they desperately stopped Dian Wei and left him to command in the rear.

And Dian Wei also made up his mind, if one round is not enough, there will be another round, if five thousand is not enough, then it will be increased to ten thousand, vowing to take Jiangling before he is willing to give up.

So under Dian Wei's fierce attack, Cheng Pu's defense became more and more tense.

It was only at this moment that he finally sighed: "Ah! It seems that General Zhang Yide's words are indeed extremely wise.

Seeing the opponent's attack like this, if he didn't go out in advance, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do.

Now, the key to victory depends on General Yide's ambush! "

At the same time, Zhang Fei has always stood on the top of the mountain, paying close attention to the battle situation here, looking for an opportunity to make a move.

The first thousand 780 chapters and six ambushes dispatched

Dian Wei's attack was very fierce, and it had been several rounds in a row, but he still failed to climb the city wall.

Seeing this, he was anxious and kept urging his men to continue attacking.

However, the general in charge of commanding at the front rushed forward and said in a panic, "General, the enemy's defense is really too strong.

The losses of our soldiers on the front line are too great, or we should temporarily withdraw our troops and think of another way! "

When Dian Wei heard this, his eyebrows immediately raised.

"How is it possible? Why is Jiangling City so difficult to attack? I still don't believe it. I'm going to try it myself!"

After speaking, Dian Wei rushed towards the city wall in person, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates.

Cheng Pu was surprised to see that Dianwei himself had come, but he relaxed when he thought that he had such a strong city wall as his support.

So he sternly shouted: "Soldiers, hit me hard! Specially aim at the position of the enemy's chief general and shoot!"

Under his command, the soldiers became more and more confident, bows and arrows shot towards Dian Wei's position.

As soon as Dian Wei rushed across the moat, he was immediately shot violently.

He hurriedly swung his halberds to resist the incoming arrows, but such an attack made him even more embarrassed.

"Wow! The hateful enemy army, I will rush to the city to kill you all!"

Although Dian Wei was furious, he was determined to teach the other party a lesson.

But given the current situation, he didn't have any good countermeasures.

Although the soldiers were also fighting back at the top of the city, the opponent's defense was far better than theirs in the wide area below the city.

So generally speaking, the losses of Dianwei's army were much greater than those of the defenders.

Zhang Fei led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and kept observing the battle situation here in Jigong Mountain.

When he saw the enemy army being defeated wave after wave, the expression on his face gradually became joyful.

"It seems that this old general Cheng really has a lot of tricks. He has completely blocked the defense of the city. You don't need to guess to know the expression of that boy Dianwei at this moment!"

At this moment, Fan Qiang came up and said, "General, Dian Wei's flag has moved!"

After his reminder, Zhang Fei immediately looked behind.

I saw that when Dian Wei himself launched an attack on the city, the huge general flag beside him was also carried by his personal guards and ran down the city.

In the confrontation between the two armies, the general flag is the soul of an army.

The so-called flag is in the people, the flag is no one to disperse.

Especially when the battle is together, the enemy and the enemy have long been mixed together, so there is no time to pay attention to the location of the main general.

Then this high-hanging general flag is the pillar of all soldiers' hearts. As long as they see the general flag is still there, they will not panic in their hearts.

Moreover, in order to facilitate the generals at all levels to report the battle situation at any time, the general flag must always follow the main general.

When Dian Wei charged, the flag guards would naturally catch up with them, and they must not be separated from each other.

In this way, although the enemy can detect the movements of the enemy's chief general, and carry out targeted responses.

But for the importance of stabilizing the morale of the army, these are all acceptable small shortcomings.
