Chapter 32: The Attack on Fancheng

Fancheng, on the water outside the city, many fighting ships and ships of the Jingzhou army are swimming under the city.

Even, behind the fighting ships, there are several buildings and ships that look like behemoths.

This is the confidence of the Jingzhou army's water war, this lineup may not have an advantage against the Jiangdong water army, but for the Cao army, who is not accustomed to water warfare, the gap is extremely obvious.

Guan Yu was standing on the deck of a building ship with a sword at this moment, Dan Feng's eyes were slightly staring, looking at the city, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

"Guoshan, hasn't Ping'er led the crowd across the river yet?"

Staring at it for a long time, Guan Yu's face remained unchanged, and he asked slowly.

Hearing this, Wang Fu, who was dressed as a scribe next to him, arched his hand and said: "Prince, I have sent people to Xiangyang yesterday, and I hope that the young general has received the news at this moment and is coming with the whole army." ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu's solemn face stretched slightly, and after half a sound, he said softly: "In this attack on Fancheng, the five thousand elite soldiers under Ping'er are the main force. ”

muttered in a low voice, Guan Yu's face suddenly rose sharply, and he shouted: "Order, catapult preparation." ”

When the order was laid, the mast canopy on the layers of fighting ships was lifted, and then a series of "thunderbolts" were revealed.

The thunderbolt car, from the hands of Liu Ye during the battle of Cao Yuan Guandu, since this new siege weapon shined in Cao Ying, the rest of the places have also imitated.

Today's dozens of thunderbolts were built by Guan Yu after he took more than ten years to build them for today.

"Aim at the head of Fancheng City and launch!"

Squinting at the city for a moment, Guan Yu drank.

"Boom, boom!"

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and in an instant, dozens of huge stones were seen ejected, like parabolas, smashing towards Fancheng.

"Knock knock!"

The next moment, there was a rumbling sound, and under the impact of the huge pressure of the stones, the surrounding city walls suddenly flew sawdust and were smashed to pieces.

"Soldiers, don't panic, look for cover and squat, and after the bombardment, we will fight back and kill the thief army."

At this moment, Cao Ren was squatting under the city wall with a knife, his head bowed, and he was shouting.

He didn't expect that Guan Yu would be so resolute and resolute, and Xiangyang had only been lost for a few days, so he launched a fierce attack on Fancheng.

"Knock knock!" The bombardment continued, and the stones smashed on the city walls, and the walls were as fragile as paper paste.

During this time, the city walls were soaked and corroded by heavy waters, and how could they withstand the fierce bombardment?

At this time, there were also screams on the top of the city, and there were soldiers who could not dodge at any time and were smashed into pulp by the stones falling from the sky.

Seeing this, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Damn! ”

Now, Cao Ren's heart is dripping blood, looking at the soldiers around him who are lying weakly in a pool of blood, he feels that helpless, but helpless.

"Guan Yu Pifu, I swear to kill you!"

At this moment, Cao Ren's anger also became more and more hateful as the stones fell, and he couldn't help but be annoyed when he looked at the high-spirited Guan Yu on the boat on the water floor through the pheasant saucer on the city wall.

It continued to sound for half a while before the thunderbolt gradually stopped bombarding.

In the next second, the Jingzhou soldiers looked over one after another, and they couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, the walls around Fancheng have long been unrecognizable, like a ruin, not only that, but even the sand and stones piled up by Cao Jun are scattered on the spot like fragments.

Looking at it from afar for a moment, Guan Yu suddenly pointed at the long sword and said sharply: "Order Zhao Lei, let him lead the crowd to Fancheng first, be sure to take it!" ”

"No!"

After receiving the order, the former governor Zhao Lei's face turned cold and cold, and he shouted: "The fighting ship is in front, Mong is behind, and they are close to Fancheng in turn, and then they will go to the city." ”

In the next second, more than 5,000 people in the front of the Jingzhou army immediately rushed out and attacked in the way of fighting ships and guarding Mong.

Now that the walls of Fancheng have almost been flattened, the Jingzhou army does not need to suppress the Cao army's crossbowmen in the city with the help of tall building ships.

Therefore, Guan Yu's plan was to directly use the fighting ship as a defense, and attack the city with the small size and fast Mong transporting soldiers.

I have to say that although Guan Yu is a general in the north, he has a lot of experience in naval warfare.

Nearly 100 meters in front of Fancheng City, the warship stopped, and Zhao Lei then ordered the whole army to get off the ship and assemble to attack the city.

Except for a little water squeezing the city in these 100 meters, most of the area is mud pits, and the warships cannot pass through it at all.

Therefore, Zhao Lei took the opportunity to make a decision and organize a strong attack.

At the head of the city, his eyes were firmly fixed on the attacking Jingzhou people, Cao Ren unconsciously clenched his sword and shouted: "The crossbowmen step back, and the sword and shield soldiers step forward." ”

Since the defense line of the city wall has collapsed, the role of the crossbowman is also invalid, so Cao Ren also directly chooses hand-to-hand combat.

"Niu Jin, Li Ji, you two each lead an army to strictly defend along the city wall, be sure to block the onslaught of the Jingzhou army, and not allow a single soldier to attack it."

"No!"

When the order was issued, although Niu Jin and Li Ji knew that there were many difficulties, they did not have the slightest fear, and they accepted the order and retreated.

Immediately, Cao Ren continued: "Leqi, you and Ben will sit at the head of the city together. ”

"Yes!"

"Kill!"

Under the city, Zhao Lei's sword waved, and the Jingzhou soldiers formed a formation to attack along the city wall.

In an instant, the two armies were completely engaged.

It's just that the battle has just begun, and the two armies have broken out into a full-strength fight, during which Niu Jin waved his sword and slashed a famous Jingzhou soldier to the city, and his body has been stained with countless blood, but he doesn't know it, and he is still fighting bravely.

"Die!"

As for the other side, Li Ji also carried a spear and assassinated the Jingzhou soldiers who dared to enter the city.

The so-called: will be the courage of the soldiers, with the courage of Niu Jin and Li Ji, the soldiers of Cao are also shocked, and they have waved the knives in their palms to slash and kill the Jingzhou soldiers.

At this moment, on the battlefield, it is extremely bloody!

"Go on, siege!"

It lasted for a long time, and Fancheng still couldn't be taken, so Zhao Ti couldn't help but be ruthless, so he personally brandished his war knife and attacked the city.

For a while, with the addition of the main general, the Jingzhou soldiers were greatly encouraged and attacked even more frantically.

At this time, the Jingzhou army was pressed, and the Cao soldiers along the city wall gradually couldn't resist it, and they were invincible!

On the city wall, Niu Jin was covered in blood, and even had more than ten wounds on his body, but he still refused to give up, wielding his knife with all his strength to slash and kill the Jingzhou sergeant.

"Ahhh

Today, there are more than ten Jingzhou soldiers who have killed the head of the city and besieged Niujin.

It's just that he is not afraid at all, swinging his sword forward, attacking and killing.

The courage of Niu Jin can be seen from this!

A moment later, as Cao Ren led the crowd to come to the aid in person, it was difficult to drive the Jingzhou army out of the city again.

At this moment, between the two armies, there was officially a tug-of-war!

Whether it was the Cao army or the Jingzhou army, they did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and then fought again.
