Chapter 407: Attack and Defense of Zero Yang City

"Cao Ren of Huarong County, Lu Bu of Zuotang County, Shamoke of Jiu County, Cai Yang of Lingyang City, Zhang Liao of Yueyang City! Cao Ren actually divided his troops to resist? It's stupid! Guan Yu stroked his long beard, his half-open and half-closed eyes were full of brilliance, he had already thought of a way to seize Jingzhou City; If Cao Ren's troops were higher than him and he divided his troops, he would definitely not be so happy, but there was a difference of 100,000 between Cao Ren's troops and him, and he also divided his troops, which undoubtedly gave him a chance to break through! He's going to besiege the city for reinforcements!

Isn't Cao Ren's battle line composed of five cities just to be able to watch over each other and defend? As long as he fights one of the rest, he will be mobilized, and he will have a chance! And what he chose was Zero Yang City and Cai Yang, which were located on the west side of the entire front!

First, the terrain around Lingyang City is open enough for his army to set up a position, and secondly, if the soldiers and horses are deposited in Lingyang City, surrounding him will mobilize several cities on the eastern front, which will make Cao's army exhausted; His troops occupy an absolute advantage, so in addition to besieging the city and sending reinforcements, he can also take Jingzhou City directly!

Guan Yu ordered Tai Shi Ci and Ma Dai to lead 50,000 troops to stay in Hanshou and hide them, while his own army went straight to Lingyang City, creating an illusion for the Cao army that all his soldiers and horses had moved west, and when all the Cao army was transferred to the western front by him, Tai Shi Ci and Ma Dai could directly take Jingzhou City without any hindrance; In addition to this arrangement, Guan Yu also ambushed the soldiers and horses in several places outside Lingyang City, and he only brought 20,000 horses to challenge Cai Yang, Zhuge Liang advised him to be cautious, but this master was arrogant and said: "An old man who is about to die, does he need so many people?" ”

Zhuge Liang said that he was a military advisor, but he was actually helping Guan Yu with logistics work, and he was depressed;

Outside Lingyang City, Guan Yu was dressed in a parrot robe, half-shouldered iron armor, sat down with a sweaty BMW, held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, stroked his beard, and proudly shouted: "Cai Yang Piff!" Don't get off your horse and surrender? ”

The old general Cai, who was dressed in gold armor at the head of the city, looked at Guan Yu's proud appearance and laughed: "Guan Yu! After so many years of being a shrunken turtle, it finally came out? Hahaha! Look up for a long time! ”

Guan Yu's face was red, Cai Yang scolded like this, and his face became even redder after being ashamed, his phoenix eyes opened, and the long knife pointed directly: "Old horseman!" Ann dare to insult me? Come down quickly, let me take advantage of you, a lot of age, let's go home and hug my grandson! ”

Cai Yang was poked in the sore spot, his son died early, and there was only one step-son by his side, and now he was arranged in Jizhou, his son didn't know if he was infected by Li Yu, and he was not sick, and he could be humane, but he couldn't give birth to a grandson, and the old general was depressed in his heart!

Although he was poked in the sore spot, Cai Yang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is definitely the old general among the generals, an old fox, he laid down his eyeliner and scouts early, An Neng doesn't know that Guan Yu is out of the army this time? He is trying to lure himself out of the city, and he must not fall for the scheme, otherwise Lingyang City will be in danger!

"Guan Yu! Don't play any tricks! I know you've brought a lot of soldiers and horses, so don't hide it, bring them out for us to see! There is not a single misbreed among the soldiers of our Wei State! If you want to fight, I will fight! What's wordy? Cai Yang roared proudly; Guan Yu saw that he couldn't induce Cai Yang to go out of the city to fight, so he said that it was a pity, and he waved his big knife: "Zhou Cang, Liao Hua!" Besiege! ”

"No!" , Zhou Cang and Liao Hua got off the horse, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and each of them had two small flags behind their backs, and they wrote: General of the Five Tigers, Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion! Fanatically show their worship of Guan Yu! They are the leaders of the way!

"Knock knock", the Shu army beat the drums, and Guan Yu commanded: "Shield hand cover!" Archers press the formation! Shoot the arrows! ”

The archers rushed forward, and the shieldmen in the front row formed an iron wall to shield the archers from the wind and rain, escorting them to range! "Shoot the arrows!" With an order, the shield was temporarily withdrawn, and the archers twisted their arrows with their bows! "Whoosh", arrows raining down!

"Shield!" , Cai Yang shouted calmly, Cao Jun at the head of the city raised his shield, "jingle bell", countless feather arrows were blocked, and there were also soldiers who were shot by slippery arrows snorted from time to time, Cai Yang just wanted to fight back, but unfortunately the second round of bows and arrows had already been shot, and they were completely suppressed!

"Shieldman escort! The archers are divided from east to west, and the two wings are pressed! Infantry attack! Besiege! With a wave of his hand, the archers and shield bearers in front of him were evenly divided and walked to both sides, not fast but very rhythmic!

Especially after these people walked more than ten or twenty steps and stopped to continue to suppress the bow and arrow, and after the two sides were completely emptied, the infantry of the Shu army rushed forward with a knife and a ladder, and the city car was also pushed hard, Liao Hua and Zhou Cang rushed to the front, extremely brave!

"Captain Zhang! Bring someone to block the main entrance with a boulder! The rest! Rolling wood! Stone! Prepare ——! Cai Yang shouted loudly, after he came, except for the main gate, the other three gates had been blocked with boulders, in order to stick here;" One or two! Walk! A cloud ladder was erected up, and the Shu army began to climb upward, Cai Yang drank coldly: "Let it go——! Countless long logs and large stones were thrown down without a head, and many Shu soldiers fell down screaming, even if they resisted with shields, they couldn't escape!

"Push them down!" , Cai Yang shouted again, many soldiers began to work together to use a specially built long, forked iron fork to resist the ladder, more than a dozen people worked together, and the ladder was pushed away from the city wall and fell backwards!

The siege battle is undoubtedly bloody and cruel, but the Shu army under Guan Yu is infected by his arrogance and has become very proud, and pride means stubbornness and persistence, fearless of everything!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! One row goes down, and another row comes up! The Shu army bravely attacked upward, and the four sides of Lingyang City could be used to attack the city, but Guan Yu only attacked one side, which meant that the five thousand people led by Cai Yang in the front faced an enemy four times his size; "I'm coming!" , Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, who were carrying two small flags, seemed to have a heart and a ladder, each grabbed a ladder, holding a knife, and quickly climbed up, they used to be yellow turban thieves, and what they were good at was this kind of siege!

"Prepare for the boiling oil!" , Cai Yang's roaring voice was almost hoarse, you must know that the average army will suffer one or two casualties, and there will be a situation of fear, cowardice, retreat and even rout, while elite soldiers can only be defeated when they have more than half of the casualties; The casualties of these Shu troops in front of him have already been completed, but the morale has not decreased, but it is better than before, which makes the old general's heart heavy!

"Ah", after the boiling oil was splashed, many people in the Shu army were burned to death, a very cruel way to die, even Zhou Cang was splashed, and there were different degrees of burns on his face and hands, if it wasn't for a few soldiers above to block him, I was afraid that he would have died!

After picking up a life, Zhou Cang became even more violent, and his climbing speed was even faster without his own soldiers in front of him to stop him, and he climbed to the head of the city in three or two clicks, stepped on the ladder hard, and climbed the city with the help of elastic force!

These ladders are also made of special materials, all of which are bamboos from the Shuchuan area, which are elastic and tough, much better than ordinary wood!

"Kill ——! Knock them down! Cai Yang roared angrily and pumped it on, and for a moment of negligence, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua came up, and when they came up, the momentum of the Shu army was even more violent, and Cai Yang must get rid of the two of them as soon as possible!

"Go! Tell the two brothers Ma Tie and Ma Xiu to lead an army of 30,000, wait for Cai Yang to mobilize military horses, and rush in from the weak point of Cao's army! Guan Yu instructed the young general beside him, this is his son Guan Ping; Guan Ping sang a song, beat the horse and left, Guan Yu This is Yang Mou, he wants to use a storm-like attack to force Cai Yang to mobilize the Cao army garrison in the other three directions, and then the army suddenly presses up and captures Lingyang City!

This seems to be contrary to his tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, right? Definitely! The second master has another plan!

"Two rats! Ann dare to be rampant? Cai Yang's big knife picked up the tiger and the tiger, which suddenly brought a lot of pressure to Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, this old man doesn't seem to be easy to mess with!

"General! The Shu army is attacking the city! There are too many people, I can't wait for a while! Why don't you bring in some support! The deputy general not far away yelled at Cai Yang while dealing with the enemy army, Cai Yang knew in his heart that once the military horse was mobilized, he would definitely be exploited, but he had to do this: "Don't do too much!" Defeat the enemy first! ”

"Old fellow! You're too old! It's time to go back to the West! "To be old and not die is to be a thief!" Go to hell! Zhou Cang and Liao Hua scolded while carrying Cai Yang's big knife, after all, they are all seventy years old, and Cai Yang is a little powerless; Although he is old, he can't serve the old, this is Cai Yang, he has to compete with Huang Zhong who can live farther! "It's enough to clean up you two bunnies! One by one! Don't you dare? To say that you are rats is to insult rats! Hahaha! ”

Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were angry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to fight Cai Yang alone, this old man's knife skills were incomparable, and Guan Yu was nothing more than the subtlety of the moves! How can you be careless?

"Kill ——!" , Deputy General Cao Jun mobilized two thousand men and horses from both sides to support the main gate, shouting to kill Zhentian, many Shu troops were defeated, Guan Yu, who was standing outside the city, frowned, and it had not yet achieved the effect he wanted!

"Knock knock", the war drums of the Shu army, which had been silent for a long time, became loud, and many people looked back and saw that Guan Yu was beating the drums himself! The morale is greatly boosted, and the offensive of the Shu army is unabated! Howling upwards;
