On this day, Cao Chun launched no less than five fierce attacks, all of which were in vain.

There were few dead and wounded on the other side, but it was on their own side that suffered heavy losses!

In the end, seeing that it was already dark, Cao Chun had no choice but to withdraw his troops, think about discussing it first, and then continue to attack the city tomorrow.

……

Xiangyang City, Council Office.

Cao Chun's face was gloomy, he looked at the seven or eight generals in the field, and said: "Today's battle, you have also seen it, I think it will not be long before the news will reach Xu Du." If we can't recapture Fancheng as soon as possible, what will we do to see the lord! ”

Cao Zhen said: "General, although Fancheng is small, its defense is very stable, and although it is feasible to attack strongly, it will cause heavy casualties to our army; It's better to order someone to go to Xinye to report the news, our second army can form a front and rear attack on Fancheng! ”

Another general added: "As soon as the reinforcements from Xinye arrive, we can besiege but not attack, not a single soldier will be moved, and within a month, Fancheng will run out of grain and grass, and we will be self-defeating!" ”

The suggestions of these two people were similar to what Jiang Feng had expected before.

When the generals heard this, they also nodded frequently.

However, Cao Chun didn't think so.

Although it was Fancheng that was lost, not its own Xiangyang, after all, the two cities were too close to each other, and it would definitely be difficult to get rid of it if I realized it later!

And most importantly, the soldiers who captured Fancheng escaped from their own Xiangyang!

Cao Chun thought for a while and said, "Don't notify other places for the time being, tomorrow, no matter how many people I die or what method I use, Fancheng must be taken!" ”

"Yes!"

Although the generals promised on their lips, they were a little unhappy in their hearts.

Obviously, Cao Chun suffered defeat before, was captured by Guan Yu and just ransomed, and this time he wanted to take the opportunity to save face.

In tomorrow's battle, whether Fancheng can be captured or not is not said, let's prepare the dead first!

……

In the south of Xiangyang City, Jiang Feng had already arranged his troops.

5,000 men and horses were stationed in the mountains, and the other 5,000 men were encircled on the west road between Xiangyang and Fancheng.

And so the night passed.

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Cao Chun launched a fierce attack on Fancheng.

One team can't do two, two teams can't work three......

In this way, by noon, Cao's army had thousands of dead and wounded.

Under such a fierce attack, Fan Cheng was also a little nervous.

However, all the soldiers were united and did not relax in the slightest.

Another point, although Xiangyang's attack was fierce, fortunately, there was no one behind to flank it.

If another team of men and horses are killed from Xinye City at this time, it is really unknown whether Fan Cheng can hold it!

……

After killing for a whole day, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Cao Chun finally ordered all the soldiers to go out and launch a general attack on Fancheng!

For a time, the army was overwhelmed, the arrows were flying wildly, inside and outside Fancheng, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

Jiang Feng led the troops to ambush in the mountains and also guarded them for a whole day.

Finally, the scouts came to report, Cao Chun's whole army attacked, and Xiangyang City was empty!

Jiang Feng gave an order: Siege!

Five thousand horses marched vigorously and went straight to Xiangyang City!

At this time, Xiangyang City was only a dozen soldiers guarding the gate, where could they resist.

Seeing the sudden arrival of divine soldiers from the sky, these people even gave up resisting and opened the door directly to surrender.

Jiang Feng's soldiers took Xiangyang City without blood, arranged heavy guards at each city gate, and then came to the city tower at the north gate.

Soon, the archers were in position and shot wave after wave of arrows at the Cao army below!

Cao Chunzheng commanded all the soldiers to attack Fancheng, where did he think that someone behind him would sneak attack!

Looking back, the sky is full of arrows and rain!

In the dense rain of arrows, I saw a big banner standing on the tower of Xiangyang City, with a big "river" character written on it.

Cao Chunzheng hesitated, and suddenly his subordinates reported: "General Qiyu, Xiangyang City is lost!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Chun's expression changed greatly, his body shook, and he almost fell.

"General!"

Cao Zhen and the others hurriedly held him up and said, "General, Xiangyang is lost, we need to retreat as soon as possible!" ”

Where is Cao Chun willing, and he can't figure out why Xiangyang is lost!

"Could it be that Liu Bei from Jiangxia and Xiakou killed him from behind?"

"But if it's Liu Bei, the Han flag should be set up on the city tower, why is the word 'Jiang' written on it?"

"Moreover, if Liu Bei leads the army to kill, the defenders of Jiangling will definitely know in advance!"

"So, who is this person who attacked the city?"

……

"General, quickly give the order to retreat!"

"Yes, General, it's too late!"

"If we let the two armies of Fancheng and Xiangyang kill at the same time, we won't be able to escape!"

The generals were so anxious that their eyes were red.

Because of the kung fu of speaking, the soldiers around them are still falling down in pieces!

When this rain of arrows passes, the enemy will definitely be out of the city!

Cao Chun saw that the general trend had gone, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "Retreat!" ”

Although the order was given, the soldiers were confused, and they didn't know where to retreat!

To the west, is Liu Zhang's Yizhou.

Only to the east, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Seeing that Cao Chun had already messed up, Cao Zhen drew his sword and said, "Don't mess up, listen to my orders, and retreat to the east!" ”

Everyone fled all the way to the east, but unexpectedly, archers had already been arranged in the east.

In a hurry, Cao Jun was once again killed and wounded, and the corpses were everywhere.

Helpless, Cao Zhen could only order to turn around and flee westward.

Fortunately, there were no archers in the west, perhaps because the enemy did not have enough troops, or perhaps because the west was Liu Zhang's Yizhou; In short, the crowd broke through from the west and came to the mountains.

As far as the eye can see, there were originally more than 20,000 horses, but now there are less than 5,000 left!

The remaining 20,000, half of them died and half of them fell, which can be said to be a heavy loss!

The crowd was tired and tired.

Seeing that the mountain was still safe, Cao Chun ordered to rest in place to discuss the next step.

Now, there is not much left for them to go.

The only option is to go through the mountains and go around to Shinno.

Cao Chun knew that the general trend had gone, and his heart was like ashes, and after the generals finished discussing, he ordered a fire to cook.

However, after this order, I learned that the army had no grain and grass at all, and it was all stored in Xiangyang City!

The few rations and grass that were spare by the army were also lost when they fled.

Cao Jun made matters worse, and for a while, his fighting spirit was completely lost.

Quite a few soldiers even regretted that they had not surrendered directly just now!

……

After a short rest, the remnants of the army detoured north along the mountain road, as long as they could escape to Xinye, everything could still be saved.

After walking like this for a little while, a river appeared in front of me.

There is a stone bridge over the river, and on both sides of the river, there are mountains.

Cao Zhen looked around and said in his heart: "If the enemy sets up an ambush here, we will really be finished!" ”

I was thinking about it in my heart, and suddenly, I only heard the sound of killing left and right!

Two teams of men and horses rushed down from the mountains on both sides at the same time!

"Not good!"

Cao Zhen was shocked and said, "Hurry up and cross the bridge!" ”

As soon as the words fell, another rain of arrows shot down; After the rain of arrows, countless rocks rolled down from the top of the mountain!

Cao Jun again suffered more than half of the casualties, and only one or two thousand people remained, rushing to the side of the bridge.

At this moment, there was a "boom", and the bridge broke.

Cao Jun has no way out!

At the other end of the broken bridge, a young man with a lofty spirit stood there and shouted angrily: "Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, don't surrender obediently!" Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
