Chapter 3 Section 057 Fierce Battle

Jars of fire oil were thrown outside the city by trebuchets, and as the clay pots were broken, they were scattered all over the ground, and with the sound of Guan Zheng's order, the next rockets rushed out, and soon those fire oils were ignited, forming a long flame barrier outside the north gate of Xiangyang

"Go back to the earth, put out the fire in the well, don't stop, keep moving," Cao Ren ordered the Cao army's cannon fodder troops who were only wearing light armor

These men were either guilty of serious crimes or prisoners of the battlefield, and at this time, Cao Cāo took advantage of them, and was given the rudimentary equipment to go to the battlefield to consume the strength and armament of the enemy

Baskets of loess were poured on the oil, and the flames were quickly extinguished in several places, and these cannon fodder became veritable cannon fodder

"Rush over, set up a ladder well, stick it up, and suppress the enemy's attack," Cao Ren pulled out his saber at his waist and waved forward, ordering

"Charge", with his order, the Cao army rushed to the city of Xiangyang like cháo water

"The catapult machine continues to attack the well fence, and the others are ready to prepare for the fire oil bow and arrow," Guan Zheng picked up a spear from the ground and put it within reach of him, and then took two pots of arrows and hung them on his waist, and then ordered coldly

"Attack, attack", the well fence is getting closer and closer, and the Cao army above has been impatient to raise arrows to the head of Xiangyang City, and even more anxious has already carried the springboard on his body, ready to set up on the city head at any time, so that his comrades can set foot on the city

"Bang", several clay pots smashed into the well railing, and the oil was scattered and splashed

"Bang la la" followed by a rocket that accurately touched the top of the oil and lit the fire

"Quickly extinguish the fire, quickly extinguish the fire," Cao Jun shouted loudly there

The well fence is made of wood, and the siege weapons can carry hundreds of people, as long as they are attached to the city wall, the soldiers inside can follow the gangplank to attack the city, so they have become the highest priority to be named by the defenders

Without waiting for the other Cao soldiers to come over to put out the fire, the well fence had already swayed under the invasion of the fire, and soon with the sound of "Kala" and the wood breaking, the whole well fence had already fallen apart, and the Cao soldiers on the top of the shelf also fell to the city like dumplings

Looking at the Cao soldiers under the city, who were either dead or wounded, Guan Zheng took the lead in attacking with arrows

"Shè die, none of them will be left" It wasn't until an arrow resulted in a Cao soldier that Guan Zheng ordered loudly

"Xiu Xiu Xiu" A rain of arrows shè under the city wall, the Cao army under the city wall has no more than half of the mouth left

"The well fence will go up, I'll see how much oil they can use," Cao Ren's repeated onslaught didn't work, and he was already a little hairy

With Cao Ren's military order, more than a dozen well railings launched an attack on Xiangyang City together, and those Cao troops carrying cloud ladders on their shoulders have also approached the city!

"Don't stop the arrows, crossbow machines, throw stones, concentrate on hitting the well fence, don't panic, knock out one and then hit the other Zhengzi battalions, but see Cao Jun come up to kill," Guan Zheng faced Cao Bing, who was gathering more and more, and gave military orders there in an orderly manner

After roaring, Guan Zheng leaned out and put arrows at Cao Jun under the city

More than a dozen ladders leaned against the city wall, followed by Cao Bing, who climbed up with blades in their hands

"Push the ladder away for me," Guan Zheng put down the longbow in his hand, picked up the spear beside him, and pushed it out with gritted teeth

"Boom", as the ladder was pushed down by him, Cao Jun screamed again

Seeing that the Taishou was so brave, the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted for a while, and they all pushed up the ladder in the same way

"Cao Xiu ordered you to lead 10,000 troops to storm the north gate of Xiangyang, so as not to give the enemy a chance to breathe, and the rest of the army will attack after burying the pot and making food," Cao Ren took off his helmet and ordered Cao Xiu beside him

"Attack, attack, take Xiangyang for three days off," Cao Xiu held a rattan card in his hand, brandished his waist knife, and commanded the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Xiangyang

"Don't wait for them to climb up," looking at the dense rush of Cao Jun, Guan Zheng suppressed the defenders who were about to release arrows

"Hahaha, the enemy has no arrows, brothers climb," Cao Xiu attacked the city, but unexpectedly did not be attacked, laughing and shouting to the soldiers

"Go to the city for a three-day holiday, go on a fast ride," the generals and colonels of Cao's army department cheered up the soldiers under their command, urging them to speed up the climb

"Pour fire oil and release rockets," looked at Cao Bing, who was huddled together under the city, and Guan Zheng straightened out and shouted

Barrels of fire oil that had been prepared were dumped into the city by the defenders, and rows of rockets followed, and the city of Xiangyang instantly turned into a sea of fire

"Hurry back, hurry back", Cao Bing, who had climbed halfway through, saw this and wanted to withdraw from the ladder, but the way to retreat had already been blocked by his comrades

"The stone thrower hits the well fence, the crossbow machine hits the Cao soldiers, and the brothers kill it," Guan Zheng raised his arm and shot an arrow, shouting and giving a military order to the cheering defenders

The Cao soldiers in the city were in a panic, and the Cao soldiers who were in a dilemma seemed to have become a live target for the Jiangdong soldiers at this moment, and the defenders who put arrows on the city didn't need to aim at all, and they could basically knock down a Cao soldier when they went out, until the soldiers emptied the quiver on their waists, and Guan Zheng raised his hand to stop their attack

Looking at the shè who fell to death under the city, trampled to death, and burned to death, there are countless Cao soldiers, and some of the Cao soldiers were hacked to death by their own people in a panic, thousands of corpses were stacked on top of each other, lying down in the sky under Xiangyang City, and the old eagles who heard the news were very excited, chirping excitedly, passing information to each other

"Waste" looked at Cao Xiu, who narrowly escaped from an arrow in his arm, and Cao Ren scolded mercilessly

"After burying the pot and cooking for an hour, a certain person led the front army to attack the city," after scolding Cao Xiu, Cao Ren lifted his battle robe and said to his subordinates in a deep voice

"Can the general wait for all the follow-up troops of our army to land and assemble before attacking the city, the prime minister has ordered our troops to only feint and contain the Jiangdong army," General Cao questioned Cao Ren's order

"The general will not be affected by the king's life outside, the situation is favorable to our army at this moment, if it is delayed, and when the enemy eases up, our army will pay a greater price, so we will attack the city after dinner," Cao Ren said with a cold face to the generals in the tent, and walked straight out of the tent

"Hey, it's all scattered," Cao Xiu stroked the arrow wound on his arm, and sighed at the generals who looked at each other inside the tent
