Xiangyang guard general Wen Ping, originally a general under Liu Biao, after Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, Wen Ping also followed and surrendered to Cao Cao.

Wen Ping did not see Cao Cao at the beginning, until Cao Cao summoned him to meet and asked him why he was late, Wen Ping said that he could not protect the soil and was ashamed to see people. Cao Cao was moved by this loyal minister's affection, and first choked on it.

After that, Cao Cao entrusted Wenping with an important responsibility, and ordered Wenping to guard Jiangxia, Dianbei Bing, and Zhenjing River. During this period, Wen Ping fought with Guan Yu many times, blocked Guan Yu's attack on Jiangxia several times, and also captured Guan Yu's baggage and burned Guan Yu's warship, so that Guan Yu finally gave up attacking Jiangxia and became one of the generals who Cao Cao relied on as a barrier.

Later, after Lü Meng defeated Guan Yu and captured Jingzhou, Wu sent troops to attack Jiangxia several times, each time he was successfully repelled by Wen Ping, and even one of them was Sun Quan's personal expedition, Sun Quan attacked Shiyang with 50,000 people, surrounded Wen Ping, and the situation was urgent.

However, Wen Ping held on to the city, Sun Quan repeatedly failed to attack, and was stationed for more than 20 days without results, so he had to withdraw the military horses. Wen Ping heard the letter, Kaesong led the troops to pursue, and broke the Wu army and returned.

Jiangxia City has been under the guard of Wenpin for many years, so it is known as "Jiangxia for decades, with grace and fame shocking the enemy country".

Later, Cao Wei let Wen Ping, who was good at defending the city, be responsible for guarding Xiangyang, the most important city in Jingzhou, Cao Wei, since Wen Ping took over the defense of Xiangyang, he continued to strengthen the city defense, further strengthened the city wall, and also led Xiangshui into Xiangyang, dredging the moat of Xiangyang City, making this strategic place more and more impregnable.

This time, Lu Xun led an army of 100,000 troops, advancing by land and water, and surrounded Xiangyang, but fortunately, before Ding Feng began to attack the Xiangyang Naval Division and blockade the river, the message for help had been transmitted.

Now Lu Xun's army of 60,000 has surrounded Xiangyang City, and tall trebuchets have been erected on all sides, constantly throwing huge stones towards Xiangyang City. If it weren't for the tall walls of Xiangyang and the strong city, I am afraid that the city gate would have been smashed and killed by the Wu army.

Wen Ping adopted a strategy of holding out, and also used a giant crossbow on the city wall to fight back at the Wu army, taking advantage of the fact that the Wu army did not fully attack the city, and fired at the Wu army, successfully crushing several Wei army's trebuchets.

Lu Xun saw that the Wei army's giant crossbow could take advantage of the high city wall and the range could exceed his own catapult, so he changed his strategy and began to send sword and shield soldiers to cover the soldiers who accompanied the army and began to fill in the earth, to fill the moat at the gate of the city.

The sword and shield soldiers of the Wu army all held a huge shield, and after forming a shield array, they could well cover the people under the shield array, and ordinary bows and arrows could not break through the shield array at all.

Soon, under the walls of Xiangyang City, several huge shield arrays extended from the Wu army's large array to the moat of Xiangyang City. Under the shield array, a large number of people are constantly passing bags full of sand forward, like an assembly line under the shield array, efficiently transporting sandbags to start filling the river.

Seeing that bags were constantly filling the river one after another, Wen Ping continued to drink orders to shoot the shield array under the city, but the rain of arrows of the Wei army on the head of the city almost never stopped, and the effect was very small, except for a few archers who could find opportunities to shoot the soldiers and soldiers under the shield array from the gaps in the shield array, the rest of the arrows could hardly achieve any effect.

However, the number of shield arrays under the city is very large, and once the giant crossbow is shot out of the gap, there will be surrounding shield arrays to fill the gap.

The city has a limited number of crossbows, and they are slow to reload, so while each shot can achieve good results, they are of little effect in terms of the overall battle situation.

In less than half an hour, the moat under Xiangyang City was filled by the efficient operation of the Minfu assembly line under the shield array, and bursts of cheers began to erupt in the shield array under the city, and the Wu army's river reclamation operation was completed.

Soon, with Lu Xun's order, the shield array began to slowly retreat, gradually withdrawing out of the range of the Wei army.

At this time, in the midst of the Wu army's big formation, it began to make noise, and people cheered and hugged a huge rushing car, pouring out of the Wu army's large array, and began to slowly come towards Xiangyang City.

Dongwu's rushing car, apparently carefully built by Lu Xun, is very huge, like a small moving house, the whole shape is a bit like a steel turtle, there is a steel cast bumper in front of the rushing car, the whole body of the rushing car is covered with iron sheets, and the soldiers who push the rushing car can advance inside the rushing car, so as to effectively avoid being attacked by the bow.

Despite this, there were still a large number of sword and shield soldiers holding long shields around the rushing car, forming a tight shield formation to defend the surrounding area of the rushing car to prevent the Wei army from suddenly rushing out and destroying the rushing car.

Wen Ping was also taken aback when he saw such a big monster-like rushing car constantly approaching Xiangyang City, and hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen and giant crossbowmen on the city wall to start attacking the rushing car.

Arrows rained down, clanging on the top of the cart, but an ordinary bow and arrow couldn't penetrate the heavy steel shell of the cart. Even if the giant crossbow is shot at the rushing car, because the rushing car has a steel shell, and the inside of the shell also has a heavy wooden board as a buffer, so that the giant crossbow cannot easily penetrate the rushing car.

Wen Ping could only watch the rush get closer and closer to the city gate of Xiangyang, but he couldn't find a good way to deal with it for the time being, so he could only wait for the rush to completely approach the city gate, and then plan to take fire attack on the hedge.

Wen Ping stood proudly at the head of the city and shouted loudly:

"The enemy is rushing to the car, and the fire oil is ready!"

Soon, dozens of cans of fire oil were brought up by Wei soldiers, and then there were sturdy men standing at the head of the city, wring up cans of fire oil, and began to throw them vigorously towards the rushing cars under the city.

Dozens of canisters of fire oil fell one after another, and most of them smashed on top of the rushing car, and suddenly the fire oil splashed everywhere, and the soldiers pushing the rushing car forward in the rushing car smelled a pungent smell of oil.

But the soldiers of Wu seemed to be fearless, and soldiers began to hold long wooden planks prepared in the shield array, and began to lay them on the sandbags that filled the river, so that the chariots could advance smoothly to the city gate.

Despite the rain of arrows flying at the head of Xiangyang City, Wu Jun still completed the laying operation with great tenacity, and rushed to get closer to the city gate little by little.

"Set off the torch!" Wen Ping shouted loudly at the head of the city.

A few torches were suddenly thrown down from the city, and the torches instantly ignited the entire top of the rushing car, and along the flow of the fire oil, the tongues of fire scurried around, igniting many of the sword and shield soldiers of the Wu army.

The soldiers of the Wu army, who were glued with fire oil, could not get rid of the bad luck of being haunted by the flames, and began to struggle desperately under the city, and some soldiers close to the moat jumped into the moat desperately, and the sharp wooden stake array hired by the Chinese of the moat was pierced through.

However, even though the oil ignited the chariot, the roof of the chariot was blazing, and the smoke was billowing from the inside of the van, the soldiers in the van were as if they were enchanted, and began to shake the huge steel ram inside the van desperately.

"One...... Two...... Three! Bump! ”

The soldiers of the Wu army in the rushing car were still suffering from the high temperature and thick smoke, and they struggled to shake the ram together, only to hear a loud "boom", and the huge gate of Xiangyang City was slightly deformed by the strong impact force of the rushing car. There was already a noticeable bend at the junction of the gates, and even the huge bolts of the gates were cracked.

It can be seen how powerful the rushing car brought by Lu Xun is.

"One...... Two...... Three! Bump! ”

Another ram slammed into the gates, and after a loud "boom", the gates began to make a kakachacha sound, and then one of the gates began to staggering and began to fall backwards.

The Wei army defending the city was shocked, seeing that the city gate was about to fall, but because there were too many people behind him, it was difficult to retreat at all, so he heard a "boom", and the heavy city gate fell, knocking down a group of Wei soldiers.

The city gate of Xiangyang was breached.

The man at the head of the city had a resolute gaze, and he shouted loudly:

"Sons, today we will defend the city to the death, the city is in the people, the city is broken! I, Xiangyang Army, don't retreat! ”
