Chapter 406: Attack and Defense

A light rain fell on both sides of the Yangtze River and the river.

The cloudy and rainy day was really not a pleasant weather for Cao Wei.

After all, in the last rainy season, they not only lost the elite soldiers of the Seventh Army, but also lost a top general.

But this year's rainy days don't seem to be as boring as Cao Ren, because ......

Guan Yu seemed to finally "couldn't hold his breath" and sent troops.

The high-level leaders of the Wei army were very excited, and one of them was Wang Shuang of Fancheng who was greatly relieved.

Because Guan Yu even transferred the Lei Gong Cannon to the front line, there is no one left!

Even if the whole city mobilized strong laborers, dug and carried soil together, and repaired the city wall overnight, the foundation of the city wall of Fancheng was indeed too poor.

If the big stone continues to fall like this, it is estimated that it will not take five days for the north wall to be collapsed.

But what worried Wang Shuang was that although Lei Gongcang withdrew, the soldiers and horses besieging Fancheng did not.

It's supposed to be a general attack, but he still can't escape from even a mouse.

These days, Wang Shuang has thought of a lot of ways to find some older or younger soldiers disguised as people who fled from the city and fled overnight.

Or simply pack up a group of soldiers and officers and send them out, disarm and surrender.

In the end, there was really no choice, so Wang Shuang ordered people to find a prostitute in the city, took all her family captive, and threatened her to help deliver the letter.

As a result, without exception, all of them were lost......

This also made him more sure that the general attack of the Jingzhou army was wrong, and there must be fraud in it.

Although he can't do anything now, if he has the opportunity, he can only take the risk and report it.

Hopefully, when the time comes, my message will still be useful......

……

Zhao Lei and Fu Wei's partial divisions attacked the Wei army's Changdiao camp according to the order, cutting off its route to harass and support Yuncheng.

In front of Yuncheng, the main force of the Jingzhou army waved its flags, the array was neat, and the morale was high.

"Siege!"

Boom ——!

With Guan Yu's order, the Lei Gong Cannon roared, and a huge stone projectile was thrown into the sky, smashing towards Yuncheng with a terrifying whistling sound.

Tom, tom, tom......

Dense drumbeats sounded.

Woo——!

The trumpet of desolation sounded.

"Kill ——!"

Countless Jingzhou warriors carried ladders and rushed forward without hesitation in the roar of arrows.

After entering the range of the defenders, a dense rain of arrows began to fall, and these soldiers, who were only in ordinary leather armor, immediately began to fall in twos and threes.

But immediately someone from behind picked up a ladder and stepped over the wounded companion and even the corpse, and continued to rush forward.

Ladders and planks were set up over the not very wide moat, and the soldiers with large shields stepped on them first, and they immediately became the targets of the archers at the head of the city.

The rain of arrows nailed to the shield made a "do-do-do" sound and vibration.

"Ah——!h Soldiers were constantly wounded and fell into the water, staining the moat red with blood.

Click!

Occasionally, a huge bolt broke through the wooden shield and shot through the soldiers below and even the wooden ladder planks at the same time, nailing it into the water forever.

The soldiers who had crossed the moat hooked the ladder to the city wall, pulled out the blade at their waist and held it in their mouths, and climbed the ladder with red eyes.

"Hmm!!"

Immediately afterwards, a pot of foul-smelling hot liquid poured down on their faces and bodies, and immediately the skin and flesh opened, and the unfortunate soldier loosened his hands and feet in severe pain, and fell.

Sometimes they would roll down with one or two soldiers crawling below them.

Almost every moment someone fell to their deaths, was stoned to death, and was shot by oncoming crossbows.

Then more people stepped on the taller and taller corpses and continued to climb.

Siege warfare has a more apt name - meat grinding.

If you really stand before this kind of scene, you will understand the meaning of the name.

Finally, a lucky person climbed the last section of the ladder, neatly took the ring knife in his mouth, and suddenly appeared.

The roar in the mouth turned into a leaky hehe......

A spear pierced his throat with precision, and the sword and shield hand next to him grabbed him by the hair, cut off his unsightly head like a cloud, and threw it into the burlap bag next to him.

A military merit in hand.

The chief below didn't have time to mourn the death of his recruits, he just continued to climb up with a grim face, and even carried the corpse of another friendly soldier in his muscular left hand.

The corpse was probably only in its teens, and it was light enough to carry a ladder.

Seeing that the city head was close in front of him, the expressionless Shi Chang suddenly waved the corpse in his hand.

Burst!

The young man, who had already been killed in battle, was once again pierced through the head by a spear, and was beheaded by the sword and shield hand on the side, and even a whole corpse was not left.

However, this ruthless chief found the opportunity he wanted.

Silently, he sprang forward, grabbed the shaft of the spearman in front of him with his free left arm, and slashed the opponent's neck under the frightened eyes of the enemy.

"Hi ——!" Then he threw the spearman's corpse at the hastily slashed sword and shield man, knocking him to the ground.

The long bow scurried, like an agile big cat, and the ring-headed knife stabbed into the belly of the sword and shield hand.

At this point, a cruel smile finally appeared on his face.

He succeeded, and he succeeded in avenging his brethren!

But the next moment, his smile froze on his face, and when he looked down, two or three bloody spear tips came out of his chest.

The chief who ascended first had been stabbed to death by the Wei soldiers who supported him with spears, and he was stabbed to the core......

Shi Chang was thrown off the city wall, and the sky before his consciousness dissipated was still cloudy and rainy, and the rain hit his face but he didn't feel it.

He was unexpectedly calm in his heart, General Guan and Hao Yuanjun, who stayed in Jiangling, would not deduct his pension, and the people behind him would also avenge him.

……

Guan Yu sat firmly in the middle army, calmly watching the bloody attack and defense in front of him, waiting for the change of the battle situation.

He has seen too many such scenes, and he usually cares for the low-level soldiers, and he knows that only by calming the world and ending the troubled times as soon as possible can this kind of tragedy be stopped.

And a momentary woman's kindness can only lead to a more tragic fate.

"Report ——! General Guan, thousands of elite cavalry of the enemy army have been killed from the north gate, and they have now broken through our army's line, as if they want to attack our army's partial division! ”

Guan Yu nodded and waved the herald back, still calmly staring at the attack and defense of Yuncheng in front of him: "Guan Ping listens to the order." ”

"In!"

"I order you to lead 3,000 cavalry, support the partial army, and go quickly."

"Yes!" Guan Ping clenched his fists and had to order the horse to ride away.

Just halfway through, he couldn't help but glance back at his father.

The plan has already begun, and there is no turning back from the bow, but I don't know if their father and son will be able to see each other again.

"Drive!" Shaking his head, Guan Ping shook off his unlucky thoughts and went to support.

And with the dispatch of Cao Ren's elite cavalry, Cao Wei's reinforcements, who had already been ambushed, also quietly stretched out to the Jingzhou army that was attacking the city like a big hand......
