"Reserve team up" Guan Zheng, who was completely unaware of the situation in the rear, was commanding his subordinates to desperately resist the onslaught of Cao's army at this moment

After six days of hard fighting, most of the 50,000 defenders in Xiangyang City were already wounded, if it weren't for Guan Zheng's previous arrangement of soldiers to take turns to defend the city, I am afraid that there would be no available soldiers under his command at this moment

"Uncle Cao Cao, I'm afraid that the number of troops this time is not less than 400,000, where did he come from so many soldiers," Ling Tong bit the bandage with his teeth, tied a dead knot on his injured arm, and said to Guan Zheng, who was wounded on his shoulder beside him

"It's not surprising that there are 400,000 horses in Hebei District, and I think that Yuan Shao had 700,000 troops in his hands back then," Guan Zheng untied the water bladder from his waist and drank two sips and replied

"The enemy is coming, uncle, keep an eye on yourself, I may not be able to take care of you later," Ling Tong instructed Guan Zheng with two guns in his hand

"Roll the calf, protect yourself, and you will become Lao Tzu, and the people you kill are no less than you kid," Guan Zhengfei kicked and scolded with a smile

"Storming the north gate for three consecutive days, but the other three gates are surrounded but not beaten, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Prime Minister," Xu Huang led the Cao soldiers who were besieging the city to slowly move forward, and the Xuanhua axe in his hand asked Yu Ban beside him

"Xiangyang Wall, Gao Chengjian, concentrate superior forces to fight the north gate, and it will be more difficult to fight for three days, if the troops are dispersed, it will be even more difficult to fight, and at this time, Jiangdong's reinforcements must be on the way, we may not have a second three days to squander," Yu Ban tightened his wrist guard and analyzed to Xu Huang

"Moreover, if you don't fight the other three gates, one can contain some of the defenders of Xiangyang, and the second prime minister is probably also considering that Jiangdong came to aid us, and the whole line is storming, when the soldiers are tired, how can they deal with those reinforcements, the soldiers of Hebei are still not as good as the prime minister's Qingzhou army in terms of combat power, in case the four sides bloom but can't be attacked for a long time, I estimate that when the Jiangdong reinforcements come, these soldiers will collapse at the touch of a button." Yu Ban looked up at the north gate of Xiangyang, which had already appeared damaged and mutilated in front of him, and simply explained what he thought to Xu Huang one by one

"As long as the main force of our army storms the north gate, this gate will be taken down, and the other three gates will not be attacked, it doesn't matter, I think the resistance of the defenders of this gate is much smaller than in the previous days, as long as the north gate is broken, the prime minister will order the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses of the remaining three gates, what do you say" Looking at Xiangyang City, which was getting closer and closer, Yu Ban asked Xu Huang again

"As soon as the north gate is broken, the prime minister will then block the other three gates, and the soldiers will withdraw from the city, and the remnants of the army in the city will definitely rush to escape, so that our army will not encounter any resistance and resistance after entering the city, and the prime minister is really clever," Xu Huang felt a little bit of understanding Cao Cao's intentions after Yu Ban

"Today, a certain person must take the lead and strive to break through the north gate to welcome the prime minister into the city," Xu Huang said, clenching his hand into a fist, and tens of thousands of horses behind him stopped moving forward

"That's nature," Yu Ban buckled his helmet and nodded at Xu Huang

"The whole army obeys the order to attack the city," after a short time, when the soldiers had finished forming a formation, Xu Huang suddenly pointed his arm in front of him and shouted, and ordered

"Woo", with Xu Huang's order, tens of thousands of Cao soldiers launched a fierce attack on the north gate of Xiangyang with the sound of horns

"Trebuchet crossbow launch," Guan Zheng shouted and gave the order to launch to the few remaining crossbows and trebuchets

A few limited stones were thrown into the Cao army's array of tens of thousands of people, like a drop in the ocean, and did not cause much damage to the Cao army

"Bow and arrow throwing" Guan Zheng finished shouting, picked up the longbow and roughly estimated the angle, and shot the arrow first, and the other soldiers released their arrows in unison according to the angle that Guan Zheng shot out

"Don't park the arrows and let them go," a rain of arrows came to the air, and Guan Zheng pulled out another arrow from the quiver and shot it out with a bow

"Raise the shield and run," Xu Huang took a round shield handed over by his own soldiers, raised it high above his head, and shouted at the soldiers under his command

"Bang bang" Cao soldiers raised their shields one after another when they heard the order, and sprinted forward quickly

"Crossbow machine, shoot bow and arrow flat," Guan Zheng saw that Cao Bing raised his shield, and immediately changed his throwing shot to flat shooting, and shot an arrow out, shooting a Cao soldier over, and shouted

A few days ago, Cao Jun's siege weapons had been lost in half under Xiangyang City, and if he wanted to attack at this moment, he could only use this most primitive method

"Go and hit the city gate," Yu Ban shouted at the soldiers behind him with the logs on their shoulders, covering his shields over his chest

"Oh hey" The thick log of the water tank was carried on the shoulders of hundreds of Cao soldiers, and it accelerated and slammed into the city gate

The thick gate of Xiangyang was splashed with dust by the impact

"Repeater crossbows, shoot them over," Guan Zheng shot over one of the leading Cao soldiers with an arrow, slowing down the rhythm of the enemy's impact, turning around and shouting at the soldiers wielding the repeater behind him

After a series of crossbows were fired, Cao Jun threw down dozens of corpses and the huge log to make birds and beasts dispersed, and no one was willing to be the stunned green man standing under the city as a target

"Those who retreat are killed," Yu Ban slashed over a cang, and Cao Bing, who retreated, said sharply

"Stick it up, lift the log and hit the door, but those who don't give the order to retreat will be beheaded," After wiping the blood stains on the broadsword, Yu Ban took a few steps forward and yelled at the trembling soldiers

On the side of the city gate, the Cao army's attack at any cost restrained the energy of most of the defenders, so that Xu Huang took advantage of the gap to lead the Cao army to the top of the city, and only then did anyone react

"General Cao Jun is coming up," Ling Tong stabbed several times in a row with two guns in his hand, and Cao Bing turned his head and shouted at Guan Zheng

"The crossbow will drive the enemy down," Guan Zheng snatched a repeater in a hurry, and pulled the trigger on the swarming Cao soldiers

As more and more Cao soldiers poured into the city, the Jiangdong army on the city gradually became unable to resist

"General, retreat into the inner city, the brothers can't hold it," Ling Tong took two more knives in the scuffle, tore two pieces of rags at random, bandaged them, and said urgently

"Crossbow cover the retreat of the brothers," Guan Zheng ordered as he pressed the crossbow arrows into the arrow magazine and rushed at the remaining soldiers

Hearing this, dozens of soldiers armed with crossbows stepped forward one after another, and fired crossbow arrows at the Cao soldiers who were attacking along the city, and under the attack of the crossbows, they actually suppressed the momentum of Cao's attack

"General, retreat quickly, and when Cao's army recovers, no one will be able to leave," taking advantage of this stall, a Jiangdong soldier suddenly grabbed the crossbow in Guan Zheng's hand and yelled at him

"Let's go, Uncle retreat to the city, we will fight with them in the streets, maybe it will last another day, and the reinforcements will come," Ling Tongyi carried Guan Zheng on his shoulders and quickly ran down the stairs towards the inner city

And the Jiangdong soldiers behind him launched the last attack in their lives against the Cao soldiers without hesitation
