Chapter 123: Attacking Fancheng

The first rays of the morning sun shine on every corner of the earth, revealing only a small half of the morning sun, as if smiling and full of warmth.

In its arms, the birds flew up to the branches, sang loudly, and began the day foraging.

The north gate of Xiling, red, yellow, white, etc., the flags of each "color" are endless, like a forest of flags.

The thunderous war drums, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, seem to be pregnant with the earth of the banner forest, and when you look at it from the city gate, the head seems to be connected into a whole, but it is not the earth.

Nearly 100 generals stood on the tower of the city gate, lined up, and among them was the commander of the soldiers downstairs, like the ground-Cao "sex".

Wearing a simple battle robe, he raised the Xuanhua Kaitian axe high: "The eldest husband was born in the 'chaotic' world, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements, and now the Shanyue rebel general Zhao Ci disobeys the king's law, and for his personal selfishness, Jingzhou is put into misery, and everyone can be punished!" ”

Under the city, Xing Daorong and other grassroots military attachΓ©s raised their weapons and responded loudly:

"Kill Zhao Ci!"

The 200,000 army then shouted: "Kill Zhao Ci!" ”

Cao "Sex" nodded proudly, and the axe blade pointed to the north: "Target Fancheng!" Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! ”

The shouts of killing came and went, and the 200,000 troops began to divide into formations, and the upper floors of the city gate ran down the stairs and returned to their respective ranks.

Zuo Feng and Jian Shuo are among them.

Jian Shuo commanded, and said to Zuo Feng on the side: "Brother Zuo, such a large army, all of them are the emperor's personal guards, why are you afraid of the world!" ”

"Brother Jian, you are too radical, these 200,000 troops are the emperor's men! If you are not loyal to the emperor, how can I have the share of the two leaders here! Zuo Feng's words made Jian Shuo blush a little.

30,000 elites, 10,000 county soldiers, 5,000 rebels, 2,002 cavalry, 10,000 left troops, and 150,000 garrison soldiers, forming a phalanx.

Walking on the road, the grass and trees were trampled by the army, the earth let the army step flat, and the counties along the way soon received the news, such a majestic army, attracted hundreds of onlookers, and even Daigo grouting, standing on the side of the road, spontaneously rewarding the passing army.

These can only be enjoyed by Cao Jun, who has strict military discipline, and the other troops accompanying him, stained with Cao Jun's light, enjoyed this kind of treatment for the first time, which made many people and their entire outlook on life impacted.

At this moment, the people did not become as protective as they had in their impressions, and for the first time they received food that was sent to them on their own initiative, instead of being forcibly searched by themselves.

It is not like the impression of fear, avoidance, and secret hatred of himself, and for the first time, he has been sincerely blessed and cared for by the people.

When you sweat, people wipe their sweat, and it's a good feeling!

The army went north along the Han River, and most of the military rations were transported by ships, saving a lot of labor.

According to Cao's operational command, all the county towns occupied by the rebels along the way were ignored, and unless the rebels fled, leaving the city unguarded, more than 1,000 troops were ordered to receive it.

As the first expedition of the vast majority of men, most of this beginning was spent on the march.

A few days later.

"Report! Lord, ten miles away is Fancheng! Liao Xianfeng has surrounded Fancheng on three sides, and made a fire to make a hot soup, waiting for the army to have dinner together! The herald on the pack horse said loudly.

"Inform the three armies of this news!"

"No!"

Fan Cheng was in sight, and Cao looked at the strategists: "Fan Cheng, there are 50,000 rebels, of which 30,000 are young and strong, with Chen Ying and Guo Shi being the most elite!" The city wall is made of rammed earth, and it is two and a half feet high! ”

"Sir! A certain wish to go and say that Chen Guo and the two of them! Between friends, belonging to two camps, Liu Xian did not give up hope in his heart, and spoke.

People who value affection and righteousness often deserve respect.

After arriving in Fancheng, Liu Xian, who had received Cao's consent, rode forward and shouted: "I am Lingling Liu Du, so that your lord will come to see me!" ”

At this time, his familiar voice came from the city gatehouse, and Chen Ying, who came to watch the enemy's situation, stood on the edge of the city: "Brother Shuliang, so-and-so is here!" Belonging to two battalions, you can't drink and talk, I hope you forgive me! ”

"Brother Chen Xian! You are also a scholar, although you are not treated well by your family, why is this so! Liu Xian said sincerely.

Chen Ying said bitterly, and his face was resolute: "Brother Shuliang! There is no way back, Cao "sex" almost died at my hands, and the scar on his thigh is not healed, how can he forget this shot of revenge!

You better go back, although Zhao Ci doesn't know how to write and ink, but he is the martial king of Nanyue, and his bloodline is noble, so he can't do it! ”

Liu Xian didn't know the truth, and the rebels around him didn't know either, the real murderer at that time was dead, and the bystanders also died because of the pursuit, and the rest were either Chen Guo's cronies, or they were killed by the two.

Cao "sexual" robbed the prison, almost died, and escaped with injuries, Chen Ying directly deducted it on his head.

In addition, Cao "sex" vowed to take revenge on Chen Ying in front of more than 10,000 rebels, which made this even more effective.

"Mr. Huanglong, Prime Minister can support the boat in his belly, these little things are not worth paying attention to!"

Liu Xian kept persuading without giving up, and after talking for more than half an hour, his saliva was dry, and his throat was hoarse because he was far away and shouted loudly.

However, Chen Ying turned into a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and decided that Cao "sex" would take the opportunity to take revenge, and kept emphasizing Cao's oath in public that he swore to be good-looking.

General Shanyue next to him, who was hit by repeated fatigue, remembered the contradiction between Cao "sex" and Chen Ying clearly, and the simple and direct mind of Shanyue people slowly became convinced of this matter, and looked at Chen Ying's gaze, feeling a little more close.

Chen Ying's civility, strategy, military affairs, and martial arts are all more than the generals of Shanyue in terms of all-round "sex", how can he be unhappy to have him completely tied to his own boat.

Some of the generals of the Shanyue Department even accepted this all-round talent in civil and military affairs from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Xian returned to Cao Ying lonely, as if to immediately verify Chen Ying's worries, and he just started to return to the camp.

Three large armies came out of the camp and attacked Fancheng from three sides, southeast and north.

Each gate of 5,000 officers and troops surrounded the entire medium-sized county town of Fancheng without a single gap.

The ladder built by the pioneer was carried on the shoulders of several people, and more than 20 people pushed a siege car to hit the door.

Each person is equipped with a shield as standard, which is held above their heads.

Chen Ying calculated the distance, and after the vanguard Cao Jun entered fifty steps, with a wave of his hand, thousands of feather arrows were 'shot' at Cao Jun.

The rapidly expanding rebel army is still in a state of lack of weapons, the archers are mainly Shanyue people, and the bows and arrows are mostly Orion soft bows, and there are only a few intercepted foot bows, riding bows, etc.

There are not many feather arrows, and some are still using homemade bone arrowheads.

When Cao's army reached the foot of the city, Fancheng's arrows used one-tenth.
