Chapter Seventy-Two: Pang Tong Meets the Enemy Cao Ren

Early the next morning, Gan Ning's soldiers regained their strength and rested for a good night.

And Chaisang's spies only found out in the morning that Ganning's army had arrived less than ten miles away from Chaisang City. The spies reported to the city guard.

The city keeper heard the news. Immediately asked, how many centaurs?

The spy said, no less than eighty or ninety thousand.

The defender of the city paused for a moment, and then shouted: The whole army is in a state of readiness, be fast.

The city defender put on armor and carried an iron gun up to the tower to watch Gan Ning's movements.

Gan Ning stood on the platform and ordered: Wen Ping and Cai Mao, each led 30,000 troops, and captured the west gate and the south gate of Chaisang.

Wen Ping and Cai Mao said in unison: Take the order!

The two got off the stage and ordered the people. Drove to Chaisang!

The general on the upper floor of Chaisang City asked: Where has General Zhu Heng's army arrived!

The spies returned: 100 miles from Chaisang.

The city guard said: Don't be in a hurry, you see the dust ahead, Gan Ning's army is coming in the direction of our army. The whole army is ready for battle. Archers ready!

Wen Ping and Cai Mao's army approached the city. (Generally, when attacking the city, the main general will say two words to the city defender to persuade him to surrender, but this time Wen Ping and Cai Mao didn't say anything, and directly attacked Chaisang)

The city defender saw how the soldiers and horses were separated. One went to the west gate, and the other came toward our south gate.

The city guard didn't have time to analyze it now, and his whole body was tense. If Chaisan loses it, then he can only die!

Wen hired the south gate, Cai Mao west gate, each led 30,000 troops.

Wen Ping ordered: 15,000 troops sneaked in, and the other 15,000 stayed behind, and an hour later they were changing shifts to attack the city!

There were still a hundred steps away from the city gate, Wen Ping ordered, the shield soldiers were in front, and the archers were in the middle (when Gan Ning trained the navy, Li Zhe specially ordered Gan Ning to train 10,000 archers, which had never been used, and this time they were all assigned to two people, one with 5,000 archers), and the siege soldiers were behind. Attack in formation!

And the defender of the city shouted: Shoot the arrows!

There was a rain in the sky, and arrows rained down from the sky.

The soldier hired by the clerk, is someone hit by an arrow to the ground?

When it was eighty steps. Wen Ping ordered: Archers release arrows!

The archers on and below the city began to be anxious, originally during the siege, the archers on the city had an advantage in battle, but at this moment they did not find that the archers on the city had an advantage, the main reason was that there were too few archers in the city!

There are 5,000 archers in Wenhi! More than twice as many archers in the city!

When the shield soldiers reached the bottom of the city ten paces, the engineers pushed the ladders and siege engines in front and began to attack the city. The soldiers on the city threw stones and logs down. The soldiers hired by Wen were passive at this time, and the soldiers who were smashed were howling under the city. The sound is like slaughtering a pig.

When some soldiers were carrying stones, they were shot by arrows from under the city, and the stones were not thrown down, but they smashed countless of them. In short, it is very anxious!

In this way, an hour passed, and the 2,500 defenders of the city suffered more than 2,000 dead and wounded. Only four or five hundred people were still exhausted.

Cheng Xia ordered the whole army to attack.

The remaining 15,000 troops were all siege soldiers. They all pounced on the city.

When the city keeper saw this, he ordered: Quickly transfer the guards of the north gate and the east gate to the south gate and the west gate. Can't stand it!

Fifteen thousand men joined the battle. The first group of attacking soldiers took a breath. And then he killed it again. Desperately crawling towards the city.

There was a huge difference in numbers, and before the reinforcements from the east gate and the north gate arrived, the soldiers of Wenpin had already attacked the city tower and occupied the favorable terrain. After the soldiers descended the wall, they opened the gates. Wen Ping's soldiers rushed into the south gate of Chaisang!

The battle in the city was going on, and there were only five or six people around the city guards in the city tower where Wen Ping ascended. Still fighting to the death. Wen Ping gave the order to stop the attack.

Thousands of people surrounded the city guards on the tower. The city defender looked around, it seemed that the gate of Chaisang was opened, and before the reinforcements arrived, Chaisang must have broken the city!

The defender of the city took the sword, looked up to the sky and laughed, the long sword cut through the sky, and the defender fell. Wen Ping just wanted to say something but didn't have time to say it in a hurry, and the city guard committed suicide.

Wen Ping ordered: Good life buries this person. Although this person is not a famous general, he has the dignity of a general, and he admires me!

Wen Ping ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill to the east gate, and another 5,000 men and horses to kill the west gate to aid Cai Mao.

And at this moment, Cai Mao has also broken through the West Gate. Divided 5,000 soldiers and horses to the north gate.

Gan Ning listened carefully, and Chai Sang's shouting and killing gradually decreased. Gan Ning gave the order, and the whole army entered the city.

Gan Ning knew that the city had been captured, and the shouting of killing would stop!

Gan Ning broke Chaisang. Then Gan Ning ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and bury the dead. Wen Ping and Cai Mao waited for Gan Ning to enter the city at the south gate of the city.

Gan Ning said: The pennant on the city doesn't need to be moved, we will wait for Zhu Heng's 20,000 horses to enter the city, and then we will close the door and beat the dogs. Maybe we can capture 20,000 of his soldiers!

After Gan Ning's whole army cleaned up the battlefield, Zhu Heng rushed from Lujiang to Chaisang, and their marching route must have been to enter the city through the east gate.

Wen Ping and Cai Mao's casualties were reported to Gan Ning, with 5,000 dead and 8,000 wounded. There are still 77,000 of our army's 90,000 capable fighters.

Gan Ning ordered. Six thousand troops lay in ambush at the south gate, and archers lay in ambush on the towers and walls!

Everything was arranged, and Gan Ning and Wenpin Cai Mao waited for Zhu Heng to come here and cast themselves into the net.

Jingzhou, Jiangxia Pang Tong received a report from the spies that Cao Ren and Yu Ban led 100,000 troops to march towards Nanyang County, Jingzhou. It looks like he wants to capture Nanyang County!

Pang Tong thought about it, and wondered in his heart, Cao Cao's mind, whether he really wanted to attack Nanyang County, or just make a show, scare me Jingzhou, so that the lord would have worries.

Then Pang Tong thought, whether he is true or not, he must also defend Nanyang County, this is a must!

Ordered: Order Zhang Fei to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to Nanyang County to garrison. I'm going to Nanyang County too!

Then he wrote a letter and ordered it to be delivered to the lord as soon as possible.
