Diaoyutai Legend 12112 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (34)

At this time, the water was a vast ocean, and only three boards of the city wall of Fancheng were exposed to the water.

Guan Yu's powerful Jingzhou army fleet marched towards Fancheng with great momentum.

Guan Yu ordered from the flagship command platform: "The fleet cruises along the city wall, finds a flaw in the city wall, and immediately attack!" ”

A crumbling city wall in Fancheng.

Full of favors, urging the people to move bricks and fill the earth, and repair the city wall.

The sergeants were all armed with swords and shields, and they were ready to fight.

The Liaohua warship sailed in.

Liao Hua ordered: "The city wall here has collapsed badly, and it will be attacked with all its might." Sharp arrows are ready and put! ”

The gap in the collapse of the city wall here is only about two meters high from the Liaohua deck, and it seems to be within reach.

The Liaohua soldiers shot fiercely on the deck.

Man Pet commanded: "Don't shoot back, use your shield to block all the sharp arrows, and then use these arrows to return to them later." ”

Rain of arrows.

The arrows touched the shield and fell to the ground.

There were no casualties among the Cao soldiers.

A sergeant of the Cao army shouted happily: "The Jingzhou army has sent us so many arrows, and we will not worry about the lack of arrows for defense in the future." ”

Liao Hua realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered: "Stop shooting." Prepare to climb the city. ”

Although the deck was only more than two meters high from the gap, the Jingzhou army on the ship could not climb the gap and could not attack the Cao army on the gap.

Liao Hua ordered: "Erect a ladder." ”

It was only more than two meters high from the collapse of the wall, but it was not easy to erect a ladder on a rocking warship. finally erected a ladder, but was pushed down by Manpet.

Liao Hua was furious, moved a ladder by himself, and erected it.

Liao Hua climbed up with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the warship swaying on the water, Man Zhong easily knocked down the ladder.

Liao Hua fell heavily on the deck.

The pet asked with a smile on his face, "Let's get the name together." ”

Liao Hua stood up and said loudly: "Your uncle is the pioneer of Guan Yu, the former general of Hanshou Pavilion, Liao Hua is also. Who is in the city? Do you dare to fight with your Uncle Liao for 300 rounds? ”

Man Pet smiled: "I am a dignified Runan who is too full of favor." Liao Hua, you want to fight me for 300 rounds? It's no problem, you just come up, I'll fight you for five hundred rounds! ”

Liao Hua shouted: "Okay, you are waiting, Liao Hua is coming!" ”

Liao Hua said, threw the hook rope with the climbing rope, hooked the city wall, and climbed up.

Full of pets swings his sword and cuts the hook.

Liao Hua fell heavily on the deck again.

Liao Hua scolded: "Full of pets, you bastard, don't you want me to go up and fight for five hundred rounds?" ”

Man Zhong smiled: "If you have the ability, you can attack it." Do you want me to let you up? No way! ”

The Zhoucang warship was in another collapsed wall gap in Fancheng.

Cao Ren led the army to defend and urged the people to repair the gaps in the city wall.

Seeing that the gap in the city wall seemed to be within reach, Zhou Cang ordered the sergeant to take out an iron drill and pry the stones and bricks on the city wall.

Zhou Cang used his own strength to pry off a brick.

The bricks fell into the water with a "plop" sound, and there was a high splash.

Cao Ren looked at it, Zhou Cang actually pried down a brick, was shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "The Jingzhou army is priing the city wall below, quickly, come and shoot them." ”

Cao Jun immediately poked his head out and prepared to shoot arrows at the Zhou Cang soldiers who were prying the city wall.

On the three warships lined up behind the Zhou Cang warship, Guan Ping ordered: "Shoot!" ”

Platoons of soldiers on three warships shoot arrows together.

All the sergeants of Cao's army who poked their heads out from behind the city walls were shot and fell.

When Cao Ren saw it, he was dumbfounded.

Zhou Cang and other soldiers who pried the city wall worked hard to pry stones and bricks.

The sound of bricks falling into the water is constant.

Cao Ren saw that he couldn't stop Zhou Cangjun's prie of the city wall, so he could only shout anxiously: "Quickly fill in the soil!" Fill the bricks! The Jingzhou army must not be allowed to break through the city wall! ”

On the one hand, Cao Jun relayed and kept filling the soil.

On the one hand, Zhou Cangjun kept prying off bricks and stones.

In this battlefield where there is no fighting, the speed of repair is compared to the speed of destruction.

The balance of victory seems to be on the side of Zhou Cangjun, as long as it continues to be destroyed, the city wall must be broken.

However, providence is indistributable.

Zhou Cang found that the bricks that had been pried were now out of reach.

Floodwaters are falling.

It turned out that the bricks that had been pried to the ground were poking out of the city wall above Zhou Cang's head, as if to say, "Come on, as long as I pry again, I will fall." ”

Zhou Cang had to pry a new brick again.

Floodwaters continue to fall.

Zhou Cang looked at the newly pried bricks and shook his head.

Zhou Cang continued to work hard to pry a new brick.

on the gap in the city wall.

Cao Ren looked at the Zhoucang warship that was gradually falling, and let out a long breath.

Cao Ren and Man Chong shook hands with each other and patted each other's shoulders.

Cao Ren praised Manzhong: "Kill the white horse." ”

Man Pet said to Cao Ren: "Bao Fan City! ”

Cao Ren said: "Boning (full of favors), now we have to report to the prime minister, we are determined to stick to Fancheng, and ask the prime minister for support." ”

Full of pets smiled and nodded.

In the area where the river and Han rivers meet, after the flood reaches its peak, the rate of discharge is very fast.

Guan Yu decisively ordered from the flagship command platform: "The fleet immediately retreats back to the water village. ”

If Guan Yu's fleet did not quickly retreat back to the river, then the entire fleet would run aground on land.

Floodwaters are falling.

Guan Yu's warship quickly retreated to the river.

Guan Yu ordered: "All armies immediately go ashore and set up camp and besiege Fancheng!" ”

Ma Liang suggested in a low voice: "Now that the flood has receded, the defenders of Fancheng are tenacious, and it will take time to attack Fancheng. Junhou, should we take Xiangyang first? With the foothold of Xiangyang and the opening of the channel between our army and Jingzhou, our army will naturally advance and retreat freely and calmly respond to the battle. ”

Guan Yu said calmly: "The defenders of Xiangyang are not enough, our army can take it at any time." Fancheng Cao Ren is a real thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. This time, Fancheng suffered a heavy setback in the flood, and Fancheng must not be allowed to recover and rekindle its ashes. ”

Ma Liang was silent.

Guan Yu ordered: "Besiege Fancheng!" ”

The Jingzhou army approached Fancheng and camped directly along the foot of the city wall. Besieged Fancheng to the ground.

In the era of cold weapons, if you encounter a stubborn enemy who is holding the city, if you use a hard siege, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. Therefore, the method of besieging to the death and letting the city run out of ammunition and food is often used.

For example, when Liu Bei marched into Hanzhong, when he encountered a stubborn enemy like Xiahou Yuan, he also used to enter and camp at the foot of the city wall of Yangping Pass, and besieged Yangping Pass of Xiahou Yuan for nearly a year.

At this time, Guan Yu always thought that his friendly army would be killed at any time, so he adopted a typical tactic of "besieging the city and sending reinforcements", wanting to destroy the enemy in the field, just like destroying the Yu Ban Seventh Army that came to help.

At the same time, Guan Yu was looking forward to the arrival of Liu Feng's Shangyong reinforcements at any time, and Guan Yu wanted to give Xiangyang, which had no defense capabilities, as a meeting gift to Liu Feng. Give Liu Feng the great credit for capturing Xiangyang City.

Some friends who like to think will think: "If Guan Yu immediately attacked Fancheng when the flood first broke out, wouldn't Fancheng have already been attacked?" ”

The friend was right to say that. At the beginning of the flood, Guan Yu took the lead in attacking Fancheng, and the flood lasted for more than ten days, and Guan Yu's Jingzhou army would definitely be able to capture Fancheng.

However, we must note that at this time, there are still 70,000 horses and horses of the Yu Forbidden Seventh Army besieged by the flood outside Fancheng, at this time, if Guan Yu does not annihilate the Yu Forbidden Seventh Army first, in case the flood recedes and the Yu Forbidden Seventh Army regroupes, Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army will face a much stronger enemy army than Fancheng Cao Ren. Guan Yu was the first to annihilate the Forbidden Seventh Army, which is undoubtedly absolutely correct.

Seeing this, we couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if Guan Yu could get the cooperation of an ally at this time!" ”

This is exactly what Guan Yu was looking forward to day and night during the Fan Xiang War.

Why do we think Guan Yu is a great martial saint?

It is because of the Fan Xiang War launched by Guan Yu that the time, place, strategy and tactics are very wise. At this time, if Guan Yu was supported by any friendly army (or Liu Feng's army in Shangyong, or Ma Chao's army in frustration), the victory of Shu Han would be limitless.

Guan Yu's big tent.

The sergeant came to report: "From the beginning of the marquis, there is a gentleman Langzhong who asks to see him, saying that there is a letter from Lord Fei Shi to be handed over to the marquis by hand." ”
