Chapter 230: Runan City was almost breached!
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth.

"woooooo"

The sound of the charge horn resounded through the sky.

"bang bang bang"

Dozens of modified catapults shot huge stones far away.

The boulder drew a graceful arc in the air and hit the city wall hard.

Occasionally, stone fragments flew everywhere, and the guards who were unable to avoid them screamed and quickly hid behind the city wall.

After several rounds of catapult attacks, shouts of killing were heard, and more than ten thousand soldiers rushed towards the city wall with howling sounds.

The momentum is like a surging river, rushing thousands of miles, unstoppable.

The guards, who should have been cautious, now had a relaxed look on their faces.

Because they have experienced this kind of scene more than twenty times.

Every time they attacked with great momentum like a tiger descending from a mountain, but when the battle came in close combat, the enemies outside the city retreated like a tide.

With so much experience, people were no longer surprised. The archers didn't even take out their bows and arrows. There was a relaxed atmosphere on the entire city wall, and most of the guards were chatting.

"This time the momentum is quite big, and there are catapults to help. Will they really do it?"

"Really? At first we thought they were going to do it for real, but every time we shot arrows, we couldn't kill even one person, and the arrows were wasted in vain. The general was already very unhappy. Who dares to shoot arrows easily now?"

"Aren't you looking for death?"

"But if the enemy really attacks, we will be totally unprepared, right?"

"You're a rookie who just came up from down there. You don't know the situation. Just wait and see. Before I can count to ten, they will turn around and retreat."

"Seventeen. Six. Three Two One"

"They are about to retreat!!"

"Ha ha!!"

There was a burst of laughter.

The questioning recruits hurriedly looked outside the city wall, but as far as they could see, the attacking soldiers showed no intention of retreating.
They rushed towards the city wall, yelling, only a few hundred steps away from the city gate.

"This time it's real, this time it's real, the enemy is coming!"

"Archers, shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!!"

A captain also noticed that the enemy did not retreat as before, his eyes suddenly became panicked and he shouted loudly.

The city wall suddenly became chaotic. How could those unprepared archers shoot their arrows instantly?

They all hurriedly bent their bows and drew their arrows, but before they could even fire a round, the log and stone rollers started yelling, "Get out of the way! The ladders are all coming over here. What's the point of shooting arrows at this time?"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The chaos on the city wall increased and there was no order at all.

"Go up to the city wall and capture Liu Bei alive!"

"We are the first to climb the city wall. Charge!"

In contrast to the guards on the city walls which were full of loopholes, the attack outside the city was well organized.

Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Ji Ling were competing against each other secretly. Although they could not really break into the city, they could still show off their talents by climbing the city wall first.

Under the personal command of the four men, all the soldiers in the army naturally shouted loudly.

"I'm on the wall!"

"Ha ha!"

"Little bastard, come here if you are not afraid of death."

A Qu Chang under Zhao Yun's command rushed onto the city wall, waving the weapon in his hand wildly.

The two guards who were approaching were unable to dodge in time. They felt a chill on their necks, their eyes widened, and then everything went black before their vision, and they fell to the ground.

At the insistence of the song leader, dozens of people rushed forward.

"Brothers, hold on, we have to break through the city wall first."

"The first credit belongs to us."

"Hold on back to back!"

“Hold on!!” As this section of the city wall was lost, gaps appeared in more and more places.

The morale of all the defenders became even lower, and many of them even had thoughts of surrendering.

On the city wall, Liu Bei looked pale and extremely ugly.

He never expected that a single negligence would allow the enemy to come up. If this continued, the city wall would not be able to be defended before dark today.

His eyes were filled with fierce murderous intent. He drew out the double-edged sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "We have nowhere to retreat. The 200,000 people in Runan City are watching us from behind."

"How can we soldiers retreat at this time?"

"All generals, charge forward and drive the enemy back."

Zhang Fei roared and jumped down from the city wall. There was murderous intent in his eyes, and the aura of a heavenly general was clearly revealed.

"kill!!"

The 10-foot-long snake spear in his hand waved, and two tornadoes formed by black energy flew towards the soldiers rushing up.

Dozens of soldiers felt the breath of death enveloping their bodies. They knew that they could never be a match for Zhang Fei, but they still picked up their weapons without fear and rushed towards the tornado.

"Ah!"

A few muffled screams were heard, and dozens of teams that had finally managed to gain a foothold on the city wall were killed instantly by Zhang Fei.

This scene made the guards extremely excited. They shouted loudly: "General Zhang Fei is mighty, General Zhang Fei is invincible!"

"Drive the enemy away."

"Rush!!"

As a group of generals led the charge, the situation on the city wall stabilized.

Seeing Zhang Fei moving back and forth on the city wall, blending into the empty space wherever he went, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun both held back their murderous intent and said, "My lord, let's go up and kill this black fellow and avenge our brothers."

"Let Liu Bei know that the brother he relied on was not killed by us, otherwise how could he have survived until now?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly and shook his head slowly: "If Zhang Fei is killed, Liu Bei will definitely flee."

"Then the bait of Runan City will be useless."

"He can't die now. He still has a lot of use."

"But Liu Bei has brought out all his capital, and today's good show should come to an end."

"Sound the horn to call off the troops. We have been tired all day. Let's have an extra meal tonight. Everyone can have meat."

"Here!!"

"woooooo"

The horn sounded, and the fighting soldiers quickly separated and retreated downwards.

Seeing the enemies retreating like a tide, Liu Bei on the city wall wiped the blood off his face and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Although the losses were heavy, he managed to repel Ye Feng's fierce attack.

If we can hold out for one day, we can hold out for ten days. Liu Bei is confident that he can wait for the support of the princes.

"Tap Tap"

There was a sound of footsteps and Sun Qian appeared behind Liu Bei.

"My Lord, according to statistics, the loss just now is more than three thousand."

"Three thousand?"

Liu Bei took a breath and said, "Where's Ye Feng?"

"He suffered a lot of casualties, didn't he?"

Sun Qian said bitterly: "There are less than 500 corpses on the city wall. No matter how many there are, the number will not exceed this. After all, we can hardly kill anyone at a long distance."

"That is to say, although we have the advantage of the city wall, the casualty ratio is almost four to one. This can be considered a major defeat."

The smile on Liu Bei's face froze instantly.

Sun Qian took two steps forward and continued, "Besides that, none of Ye Feng's generals took action. If they did, General Zhang Fei would definitely not be able to block the ten gaps by himself."

"That is to say, today's attack was not Ye Feng's full strength."

"Ziyuan and I discussed for a long time and came to a conclusion that Ye Feng does not want to break through Runan City now."
