Chapter 226: The Strategy of Qing Xu (Part 5)

While Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were engaged in a fierce battle at the north gate, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu also launched a full-scale attack. Li Zheng at the east gate and Li Qian at the west gate also launched a massive offensive. The three gate generals found it challenging to cope with the intense assault from Cao Cao's army, especially at the north gate.

Sun Ce did not personally go up to the city wall again, but took turns commanding the army with Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce's military style was fierce, while Zhou Yu's military style was peculiar.

The Art of War says: "Reckoning on the normal and ensnaring with the extraordinary."

The North Gate guard was mediocre in talent, while his opponent was a renowned historical general still in his prime.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had a deep and heartfelt bond, with seamless coordination and unexpected strategies, making the North Gate guard's situation unbearable and challenging.

孙策眺望着城头,看向身边的周瑜,问道“还不行吗?这个时候我上去最起码有七成概率能拿下城头!”

周瑜凝望了一会儿,还是摇了摇头“不行,要么不打,要打就要一口气把城头吃掉!这样才能把我的计策效果发挥到极致!”

In order to keep Sun Ce from being idle, Zhou Yu once again returned the command to him. Sun Ce glanced at him and sighed, taking over the command from Zhou Yu, and said grumpily, "Are you afraid that I can't help charging forward because I have nothing to do? Do you really see me, Sun Bufu, as an impulsive savage in your eyes?"

Zhou Yu smiled apologetically, although he appeared sorry, he actually confirmed Sun Ce's speculation. This angered Sun Ce, who increased the intensity of his attack, venting all his frustration on the guards at the north gate. Unfortunately, it was the north gate's commander who suffered the consequences.

However, Li Qian from Dongmen Gate calmly thwarted the attack. Wave after wave of assaults surged forward like an overwhelming force.

Surprisingly, the progress at Dongmen Gate, led by Li Zheng, was the most successful.

Li Zheng has always been somewhat disappointed with his father, Li Qian, and his younger cousin, Li Dian. In the eyes of everyone, he is seen as a reckless brute, lacking strategy and not fully capable as a commanding general.

But was Li Zheng really just a pure martial artist?

In history, Li Zheng was indeed the leader of the Li family after the death of Li Qian, the previous leader. He took over Li Qian's troops and quickly suppressed the rebellions of Li Feng and Xue Lan, who had killed his father. Afterwards, he also made great contributions in driving away Lu Bu from Yanzhou and reclaiming the lost territory, which led to his promotion by Cao Cao as the Inspector of Qingzhou.

Anyone who can be appointed as a provincial governor must have some political acumen. Moreover, at that time, the Cao army only controlled one commandery in Qingzhou, which was far less powerful in terms of military strength and territory compared to Yuan Tan. However, Cao Cao's subordinate single-handedly withstood Yuan Tan's offensive and helped defend the flank.

只可惜天妒英才,李整带病出战、理政,最终病死在任上。这以后,李典才有了出头之日,成为李氏一门的新家主,展现出了自己的才华。

In other words, Li Zheng won't die and Li Dian won't appear? (Manually laugh it off, let's just move on.)

However, how could Li Zheng, who had such great achievements in history, be a mere brute? Guo Jia also wondered why Li Zheng was considered a brute, and speculated that the Li Zheng in history grew up after being stimulated by his father's death.

A few days ago, Li Dian's disappointment towards Li Zheng was not unnoticed by Li Zheng, but he chose to remain silent and pretend to be a carefree and reckless man.

In fact, Li Zheng didn't want to appear too intelligent, as it could overshadow some of the brilliance of Li Dian.

Moreover, the Li family has leaders like Li Qian, a skilled general, and Li Dian, a talented individual both in literary and martial arts. What is lacking is precisely a fierce general. Therefore, for the benefit of the family, Li Zheng is willing to sacrifice himself and contribute to the family, striving for a bright and beautiful future for the clan.

Before the war, Li Zheng intentionally asked Li Dian for dozens of cloud ladders. Since there were a large number of surplus cloud ladders, Li Dian didn't pay much attention and agreed to Li Zheng's request.

Li Zheng deliberately bound the cloud ladders together, five in a bundle, and soaked them in cold water to prevent ordinary rockets from igniting the cloud ladders.

当李整拿出那些捆绑在一起的云梯的时候,东门守将还以为李整是个傻子,以为将几架云梯捆绑在一起就可以加快工程进度。实际上,这样顶多加强了云梯的坚固程度罢了,又能怎么样?还不是经不起火烧。

Li Zheng had each soldier tie two small sandbags around their waist. Whenever they saw sparks on the ladder, they would sprinkle some sand on them to put out the flames. At the same time, he stacked several bundles of ladders together, forming a ramp. This not only ensured the stability of the ladder but also made it easier for the soldiers to climb. Translated: "

Not only that, Li Zheng also sent the reserve team up, using this slope as a shield, carrying two large sandbags on his own and throwing them under the ladder-shaped slope built with bamboo surface and sand bottom, turning it into a real ramp.

The East Gate guard couldn't understand what kind of act Li Zheng was pulling off, and he still viewed him as a reckless man. It wasn't until soldiers sent by Li Zheng had piled up one-third of the sandbags that the East Gate guard finally realized.

"Damn it!" The Eastern Gate guard was frustrated beyond measure. He could never have imagined that Li Zheng would resort to such a bizarre method. Now, even if they were to set the ladders on fire, it would be useless as there were sandbags placed below. Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

Nima, did they switch from a siege to a field battle!

"You, quickly go and seek help from the General! Tell them there is a crisis at the East Gate, it could collapse at any moment! Hurry!"

Although the East Gate commander is mediocre, he is not someone who values pride more than anything else, and knows what he should do at this time.

"Fellow soldiers, we cannot let them break through the city! Follow me and drive the enemy army led by Cao away!"

Despite displaying a fearless and resolute demeanor, the East Gate defenders were gradually being pushed back by Li Zheng's large army, and it was clear that the defense line wouldn't hold for long.

While the battle was still raging on in the direction of Sheng Rong, urgent news arrived concerning the peril at the East Gate. Sheng Rong immediately dispatched a thousand soldiers to support the East Gate and simultaneously ordered the three cities' routed troops, who were serving as reserves, to come up and help him drive Li Dian away.

Sun Ben's face showed a look of joy upon receiving the command for an honorable battle. Sun Jiao, on the other hand, was filled with a strong fighting spirit, while Sun Fu's eyes revealed a hint of madness and excitement.

Upon seeing Sun Fu's expression, Sun Ben suddenly remembered something and quickly grabbed hold of him. "You reckless brat, Gongjin said that in this battle, you are not allowed to massacre recklessly, especially not to kill prisoners! Otherwise, I will send you directly back to Xudu!"

Sun Fu's killing intent instantly dissipated upon hearing these words, and he seemed completely devoid of energy, appearing listless.

Sun Ben kicked him and said, "I really don't know who you inherited this bloodthirsty nature from, not at all like our father or me, your elder brother. Did you personally come to execute the unyielding prisoners?"

Sun Fu smirked and regained his energy.

Meanwhile, Shen Rong, who was fighting on the city wall, had no idea that danger was approaching him.
