Sun Jian hated to admit it, but there was no real turning back now. All he could do was focus on the target at hand. Rather simple, but it would mean the risking of many lives. Still, Sun Jian needed to fortify his territory, and to do THAT, one had to conquer.
"Beging pouring water on the bridge! Use the established line and don't run! Archers, don't aim for the siege machines themselves, but for those controlling them! If they die, they cannot fire at us!"

Ma Chao sent another 80 militia swordsmen towards the bridge, they dropped their weapons and began helping out with the bridge. Yelling out to the archers he said "Fire an arrows as the man beside you prepares and prepare your arrows as the man beside you shoots" It sounded confusing to some of Sun Jian's men, Ma Chao knew by the looks on their faces, but continued anyways, "Aim at the operators of the catapults!" he yelled.

An idea suddenly struck Sun Jian. At this point, the siege ramp was worthless. However, he could still salvage it's parts. Yelling frantically to save the siege ramp, they move it away from the fire. He then ordered for it to be dismantled into large planks. Basically, he was taking off the part that extended, and using it to finish the bridge.
"Hurry up and lay it out across what you finished! Keep pouring on water! Archers, don't stop! We may be in a tight spot, but we are going to win this!"

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, he sent 50 light soldiers to help out with the bridge and the other 50 to help dismantle the ramp. He sat still on his horse. Watching the progess. He looked across the river and watched as the archers shot fire arrows at them. Seeing as Sun Jian's army had the catapults and the ballistas covered he called out to one of his privates "I want you and 50 more archers to shoot at the fire archers across the river, the rest continue the attack on the catapults." He looked up at the sky and back at the battle at hand. "This is gonna be a long fight" he said

Seeing the siege weapon conditions weaken, Sun Jian smiled. All they had to do was keep pushing. The Miltia had employed the strategy they thought was best, and it was an effective one. However, Sun Jian knew how to counter certain measures, and his troops were simply better trained. He would destroy the Catapults, then nothing would stop him from completing the bridge.
"Archers! Focus on the catapults and the catapults only! Be sure to light your arrows in the blazing inferno around you before you fire! Keep the water on that bridge, people! Hold back the siege ramp pieces until the catapults are down!"
Turning in Ma Chao's direction, Sun Jian yelled to him across the noise of battle and the fires around them.
"Aim for the Catapults first! With those gone, we can finish the bridge and cross the river to engage!"

Hearing Sun Jian's voice, he turned to look at him. HE gave him a stern look and turned back to the battle field. Thinking to himself he looked up, Even if the catapults are gone, fire archers could still burn down the bridge. Shaking his head he pointed towards the catapults lazily and watched as his men begin changing targets. "Can't wait for this to end" he said under his breathe.
