Faced with Xiahou Dun's explanation, Liu Bei still insisted on launching a general attack on Nanchang City immediately and quickly decided. Xiahou Dun suddenly lowered his face and said unhappy: "King Linjiang, if you want to fight quickly, please give in. Anyway, our Wei army will not do this meaningless loss."

Zhang Fei, behind Liu Bei, saw Xiahou Dun being so disrespectful to his elder brother, was so angry that his beard blew up, and then he shouted: "Xiahou Dun! My king is the King of Linjiang who is on par with your master Cao Cao. What kind of thing is that you dare to talk to my king of Yuan like this..."

Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Zhang Fei's scolding, and still said to Xiahou Dun with a plain expression: "General Xiahou is about this, that's all. But when our army attacked the city, he still hopes that General Xiahou will keep the alliance between our two countries and use your Wei cavalry to protect the surroundings of Nanchang City. It will prevent possible reinforcements from Wu, and also prevent the Wu army in the city from taking the opportunity to break through. In particular, we cannot escape from Sun Quan."

Xiahou Dun gave Zhang Fei a blank look, then bowed respectfully to Liu Bei and said: "Don't worry, King Linjiang, Dun will not let anyone escape from the city. If there is foreign aid of the Wu army, they will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop."

Liu Bei and Xiahou Dun agreed to leave and prepare for each other. More than an hour later, the drums and horns were noisy under Nanchang City and the sounds were buzzing.

The Linjiang Army began to prepare for the formation and prepare to attack Nanchang City. Almost all the crossbows and catapults on the Linjiang Navy warship were dismantled and several rows were lined up in front of Nanchang City. A large number of soldiers were busy mining stones in the mountains west of Nanchang City, and continuously transported them to the Nanchang City Army.

Xiahou Dun's tiger and leopard cavalry leisurely watched the Linjiang army's busyness, and was patrolling back and forth around the city gate and around the city from time to time to watch.

Liu Bei was finally ready. After a special rhythm of drums, Linjiang Army's catapults and crossbows were fired at the same time. Stones, crossbow guns, and firewood bundles mixed with fire-induced objects were lit, hitting the city of Nanchang like raindrops and hail. Although these throwing equipment had no precision, they could not withstand their numerous numbers and the density of bullet arrows.

Although only a few stones flying in the sky fell on the city or hit the walls of the city walls, most of them fell into the city. The bricks and tiles smashed into the houses and buildings in Nanchang City were broken and dusty. Most of the fireballs that passed through the sky like flying fire stars also fell into the city. These fire bundles were mixed with sulfur, willow catkins and other fire-induced objects. When they fell on thatched huts or other flammable objects, they would immediately cause a raging fire. Not long after, thick smoke was rolling in Nanchang City, and flames could be seen everywhere. People in Nanchang City shouted and neighed, and there was chaos.

The crossbow guns that were shot hard were intentionally shot at the city wall. Whenever these crossbow guns hit the city wall, they would rush into the city wall several feet deep and firmly thrust into the city wall.

After the Linjiang Army's catapult and crossbow bombardment on Nanchang City lasted for nearly an hour, the rhythm of their drums suddenly changed, and at the same time, the sound of long horns was blowing. In the Linjiang Army's formation, thousands of soldiers rushed towards the walls of Nanchang City like torrents, and shouted in unison, like a tsunami.

Due to the tight time, Liu Bei did not have time to build large-scale siege chariots and slope chariots. In addition, although Nanchang City is backed by the river and water, it is different from other siege cities. Its city walls are not close to the Gan River and there is no water gate. Therefore, the tall tower ships in the Liu Bei Navy cannot be used for siege. The only siege tool that Liu Bei's army can use is the temporary simple siege ladders.

At this time, countless simple ladders mounted on the four walls of Nanchang City, and the soldiers of Linjiang Army climbed up like ants. Although the city of Nanchang was chaotic, the defenders at the top of Nanchang City were not greatly damaged. Under the command of Huang Gai, Yu Fan, Wei Wen and other generals of the Eastern Wu, the defenders at the top of Nanchang City fought back bravely and smashed the enemy who had already been ready to climb the ladder like heavy rain.

A soldier with a large shield was almost approaching the city, and the shield on his head was like a hedgehog. At this moment, a large stone weighing 100 kilograms was lifted out of the city by a crowbar by a soldier on the city. The big stone was smashed heavily on the shield, and a crisp sound of bone cracking sound was heard. The shield-holding arm was broken, and the entire shield collapsed. Then he was taken down by the huge stone, and the group of people following him fell from the ladder like candied haws.

On a cloud ladder next to him, someone had already started climbing towards the battlement. Several steel knives of the heads of the heads of the city were stabbed down, and he was "sent" him down the city in an instant. However, these Wu soldiers who used the heads of the city were also shot to death by several arrows under the city on the spot, and their bodies were hanging softly outside the wall of the city.

After paying a large number of casualties, more than a dozen of the most elite white-eared soldiers of the Linjiang army finally climbed to the top of the city of Nanchang City. They were light-breasted swallows, holding swords in one hand and shields, and jumped back and forth in the corridor at the top of the city, and the steel knife in their hands almost kept stabbing out. Almost no scattered soldiers of the Wu army who were close to them were injured or killed.

At the command of Huang Gai in the distance, the Wu army's spearmen who were squatting on the ladder as a reserve team rushed to the corridor at the city wall. They lined up in dense formations, and the spears pushed towards the Bai-Eared soldiers at the city wall like a forest.

Even though the latter is flexible in body and mind, and is skilled in single-hand combat, facing this dense and dense array of spears without any gaps, there is no way to do anything. Amid the continuous cry of pain, the white-eared elite soldiers on the top of the city were poked into honeycombs one after another, and they were quickly removed.

After most of the strong attack, both sides suffered a large number of casualties. However, no one in the Linjiang army could gain a foothold at the top of Nanchang City, let alone capture Nanchang City. This made Liu Bei anxious. Now he is racing against time. It is one day later to conquer Nanchang City, and it doesn't matter to Wei State. But for him, Liu Bei, it is a matter of life.

Just when Liu Bei was anxious, there was another village. Xiahou Yuan of the Wei army also brought troops to him. Xiahou Yuan arrived and the Wei army was still unlikely to help Liu Bei attack Nanchang City, but he brought a group of people, which made Liu Bei overjoyed.

It turned out that when Sun Quan's Sun clan fled to Jianning, he was betrayed by Zhang Zhao halfway. They were soon intercepted by the Wei army at the fortress. The Wei army captured dozens of Sun clans, including the Wu Tai, and a total of hundreds of Sun Quan's concubines. Xiahou Yuan, who commanded this Wei army, passed by near Yuhan on the way back. He heard that Xiahou Dun was going to encircle and annihilate Sun Quan in Nanchang. He thought that these prisoners in his hands might be useful, so he brought these Sun clans to Nanchang City.
