Chapter 1418: Xiangyang is in danger

Accompanied by the rumbling of war drums, a series of wells appeared in the field of vision of the defenders, and at the foreground was the still non-stop thunderbolt, which had hardly stopped since the arrival of Cao's army in Xiangyang.

Guan Yu squinted at the Cao army in the north of the city, and a look of worry flashed between his expressions, after the defeat of the Wancheng army, Guan Yu was always thinking about washing away the shame from Cao Jun's body, but when the Cao army attacked Xiangyang, the protection of the thunderbolt car was also very strict, and there were elite cavalry on both sides of the thunderbolt car, and if you wanted to lead the cavalry out of the city to destroy these thunderbolt cars, you need to pay a big price, and the defenders were already at a disadvantage in numbers, so that Guan Yu did not dare to act rashly.

"General Guan, Cao's army is about to attack the city." Zhou Cang Road.

Zhou Cang is valued by Guan Yu, although he is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, he has a good strength, and his martial arts are not weak, and now he is not only Guan Yu's deputy general in the army.

"Even if the enemy army is brave and strong, Xiangyang City is high, how can it be so easy to break through." Guan Yu said.

Dense boulders, keep pouring towards Xiangyang, the thunderbolt car on the city is also constantly counterattacking, the thunderbolt car on both sides of you come and go, but it is Cao Jun who occupies a lot of cheap, the number of craftsmen under Cao Cao's rule, is not Jingzhou can be compared, especially in the construction of the thunderbolt car, under the heavy reward, the craftsman is very concerned about the transformation of the thunderbolt car, and now the thunderbolt in the Cao army, in the range has reached three hundred and thirty steps, this distance, enough to suppress the Xiangyang defenders, this is also Cao Cao's confidence.

When attacking the city, the strong military power can make the hearts of the people in the city float, Cao Jun is to pass the thunderbolt car, so that the defenders are cold, during this time, although the Cao army's thunderbolt car loss is not small, compared to the loss of the defenders, it is nothing.

When the ladder soldiers were about to approach the city wall, Cao's thunderbolt suddenly stopped attacking, and the soldiers who were ready to attack waited for the ladder to reach the city wall, and the vanguard army that was ready to attack launched a charge towards the city wall and climbed up the ladder.

This was the first time that Cao's army launched a real attack on Xiangyang City.

Guan Yu shouted: "Defend the city!" ”

To Guan Yu's anger, many of the defenders still hadn't woken up from the dense thunderbolt attack of the Cao army, and some soldiers were still hiding behind the women's wall, shivering.

"Those who dare to disobey orders will be killed!" Guan Yu said coldly.

The soldiers in charge of supervising the battle began to patrol on the city wall, Guan Yu is such a high-minded and arrogant person, he is not afraid of the thunderbolt of the Cao army, but the defenders are afraid, even if they have a lot of elites of the Jingzhou army, that is just the statement of the Jingzhou army, the Jingzhou army has passed through many battles, and the original elite lost most of it when Liu Biao defeated Yuan Shu.

The bloody methods of the soldiers of the overseer made the defenders of the city start to defend, but after such a delay, Cao troops had already climbed the city wall in many places, but fortunately, the defenders had an advantage in numbers to stop the attack of Cao army.

However, after the Cao army attacked the city wall, how could they retreat so easily, what they had to do was to provide more opportunities for the Cao army in the rear.

Knowing the situation ahead, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "Order the Qingzhou Army to step forward." ”

Xun You also did not expect that the first siege could achieve such an effect, it seems that the previous thunderbolt siege caused great pressure on the defenders, and the Qingzhou army represented the most powerful force in the Cao army.

After the Qingzhou army landed in the city, the pressure on the defenders suddenly increased a lot, and in the face of the crazy Qingzhou army, many soldiers of the Jingzhou army showed fear, especially when they saw some Qingzhou soldiers still charging with several wounds, which deeply stimulated them.

Guan Yu's face was a little gloomy, he didn't expect that the first round of Cao Jun's attack would be so fierce, and it was completely carried out under the surprise of the defenders, otherwise, it would not be easy for Cao Jun to attack the city wall, but this also showed from the side that the strength of the Jingzhou Army was very far behind Cao Jun.

"Bring the knife!" Guan Yu shouted.

Zhou Cang immediately handed over Guan Yu's Blue Dragon Glaive Knife.

Guan Yu led 500 soldiers to patrol the city wall, with Guan Yu personally attacking, the first round of Cao army's attack was quickly collapsed, although many defenders still had panic in their eyes, but there was no fear before.

For the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Army, Guan Yu felt frightened, and the scene of these soldiers not afraid of death when charging was extremely terrifying.

Cao Cao regretted that the first attack failed to capture the frontal city wall, if the Qingzhou army could hold out for a while, more Cao troops would climb the city wall, and it would be more difficult for the Jingzhou army to fight for control of the city wall from the Cao army.

Half a month of siege in succession, so that Xiangyang several times into danger, although the defenders of Xiangyang have been tempered, the price paid is still tragic, especially when the Qingzhou army launched an attack, it is a huge torture for the defenders.

The continuous siege of the city made the families in the city more worried about the situation in Xiangyang, originally many families did not have much hope for being able to hold Xiangyang, the Cao army not only had a large number of troops, but also in terms of combat effectiveness was not comparable to the Jingzhou army, otherwise, Guan Yu would not have lost Wancheng.

Zhuge Liang also did not have the confidence to win in the past, in the face of Cao Jun's frontal attack, he felt a huge pressure, if it was not handled properly, it would be even more difficult to hold Xiangyang City.

In the past, Zhuge Liang was light and light in the eyes of Jingzhou officials, and he did not have the slightest trouble in the face of major events, as if everything was within his expectations, but Zhuge Liang did not assist Liu Bei for a long time, although Zhuge Liang had it in terms of vision, but in terms of the ability to deal with things, in terms of people's hearts, he was much worse than Cao Cao and his advisers, and Cao Jun's strength was outstanding, which was completely relying on his strength to crush the defenders.

"Military advisor, now the east, west, and north of the city are in an emergency, if the war continues like this, it will be difficult to hold the outer city." He said in a somewhat anxious tone.

Zhuge Liang said: "It doesn't matter, the relevant generals are here, and it is absolutely impossible for the Cao army to break through Xiangyang." ”

Although the defenders defused the fierce attacks of the Cao army several times, it was the Cao army that had the advantage, as long as the Cao army continued such a fierce attack, it was most likely that the defenders of Xiangyang would fail in the end.

Zhuge Liang seemed to see the thoughts of the people in the field, and said slowly: "This official has ordered the navy to send 10,000 people to Xiangyang, and in three days at the latest, they will be able to enter Xiangyang." ”
