Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 410 Attack and Defense
It started to rain lightly on both sides of the Yangtze River and Mianshui River.

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

After all, 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 bother Cao Ren that much, because...

It seemed that Guan Yu finally "couldn't contain his anger" and sent troops.

The top brass of the Wei army were very excited, and the one who was greatly relieved was Wang Shuang of Fancheng.

Because Guan Yu even moved the Thunder Artillery to the front line, there was not a single one left!
Even if the entire city's strong labor force was mobilized to dig and carry soil together and repair the city wall overnight, the foundation of Fancheng's city wall was indeed very poor.

If the big stone continues to be smashed like this, it will probably take less than five days for the north wall to collapse.

But what worried Wang Shuang was that although the thunder cannon was withdrawn, the soldiers and horses surrounding Fancheng were not withdrawn.

It was clearly supposed to be a general attack, but he was still surrounded and not even a mouse could escape.

boom--!
Following Guan Yu's order, the thunder cannon roared, and huge stone projectiles were thrown into the sky, hitting Yancheng with a terrifying roar.

The results, without exception, were all lost...

After entering the shooting range of the defenders, dense rain of arrows began to rain down, and these soldiers with ordinary leather armor immediately began to fall down in twos and threes.

The partial divisions of Zhao Lei and Fu Xu followed the order and attacked the Changdiao camp of the Wei army, cutting off its route to harass and support Yancheng.

Tom, tom, tom…

Or simply pack up a group of soldiers and officers and send them out, surrender their weapons and pretend to surrender.

Although he can't do anything now, if there is a chance, he will have no choice but to take the risk and go to report the news.

"Siege!"

Ladders or wooden planks were set up on the not-so-wide moat. Soldiers holding large shields stepped on them first, and they immediately became the target of fire from the shooters at the top of the city.

In front of Yancheng, the main force of the Jingzhou Army was waving their flags, in neat formations, and with high morale.

I hope that when the opportunity arises, my message will still be useful...

"kill--!"

The rain of arrows was nailed to the shield, making constant "doo-doo-doo" sounds and vibrations.

But immediately someone behind them picked up the ladder, stepped over the injured companions and even the corpses, and continued to rush forward.

Countless Jingzhou warriors carried ladders and rushed forward without hesitation, roaring and braving the rain of arrows.

Woo——!
The desolate horn sounded.

……

In the end, there was nothing he could do. Wang Shuang ordered someone to find a prostitute in the city, kidnapped all her family members, and threatened her to help deliver the message.

This also made him more certain that something was wrong with the Jingzhou Army's general offensive, and there must be some fraud in it.

Intensive drumbeats sounded.

Wang Shuang thought of many ways these days, finding some older or younger soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians fleeing the city and flee overnight.

"Ah——!" Soldiers continued to be injured and fell into the water, dyeing the moat blood red.

Click!

Occasionally, a huge arrow broke through the wooden shield, shooting through the soldiers below and even the wooden ladder planks at the same time, nailing them in the water forever.

The soldiers who narrowly escaped death and crossed the moat hooked the ladder up to the city wall, pulled out the weapons from their waists and held them in their mouths, and climbed up the wall with red eyes.

"Well!!"

Immediately afterwards, a pot of extremely foul-smelling hot liquid was poured down onto their faces and bodies, causing their skin and flesh to burst open. The unfortunate soldiers loosened their arms and legs in severe pain and fell down.

Sometimes they would also roll down with one or two soldiers crawling below them. Almost every moment, someone fell to death, was hit by wood and stones, or was shot to death by oncoming crossbows.

Then more people stepped on the bodies that were getting higher and higher and continued to climb.

Siege warfare also has a more appropriate name - meat grinding warfare.

If you really stand in front of such a scene, you will understand the meaning of this name.

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

The roar in his mouth turned into a hehe sound of leaking air...

A spear accurately pierced his throat, and the sword-and-shielder beside him grabbed his hair, cut off his undead head in one smooth motion, and threw it into the linen bag next to him.

A military merit is obtained.

The commander below had no time to mourn the death of his new recruits. He just continued to climb up with a stern look on his face. He even carried the body of another friendly soldier in his muscular left hand.

The corpse was probably only a teenager, and it was light enough to barely be able to carry a ladder.

Seeing the city head in front of him, the expressionless chief suddenly raised the corpse in his hand.

puff!
The boy who was already dead in battle was once again pierced through the head with a spear, and was beheaded by the sword and shield wielder on the side. Not even a whole body was left behind.

However, this ruthless commander found the opportunity he wanted.

He suddenly rushed forward in silence, used his free left arm to grab the spear shaft of the spearman in front of him, and wiped the opponent's neck with a knife in the horrified eyes of the enemy.

"Hey——!" Then he swung the spearman's body towards the sword and shieldman who slashed at him in a hurry, knocking the opponent staggering.

The extremely long bow scurried around like a nimble big cat, and the ring-shou knife stabbed into the stomach of the sword and shield hand.

At this point, a fierce smile finally broke out on his face.

He succeeded and successfully avenged his brothers!

But the next moment, his smile froze on his face. When he looked down, he saw two or three bloody spear points piercing his chest.

The commander who ascended first was stabbed to death by the supporting Wei soldiers with spears, and he was deeply wounded...

Shi Chang was thrown off the city wall, and the sky before his consciousness dissipated was still cloudy and rainy. He couldn't feel the rain hitting his face.

He felt unexpectedly calm. General Guan and Hao Shijun, 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 of the 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 scenes like this, and he, who usually cares deeply about the soldiers at the bottom, knows that only by calming down the world and ending the troubled times as soon as possible can such tragedies be stopped.

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

"Report——! General Guan, thousands of the enemy's elite cavalry have rushed out from the north gate. They have broken through our army's line and seem to want to attack our partial division!"

Guan Yu nodded and waved off the ordering soldiers, still calmly staring at the attack and defense of Yancheng in front of him: "Guan Ping obeys the order."

"exist!"

"I order you to lead three thousand infantry and cavalry to support the partial army. Go quickly."

"Yes!" Guan Ping cupped his fists and ordered him to ride off.

But halfway through, he couldn't help but look back at his father.

The plan has been started, and there is no turning back. I just don't know if the father and son can see each other safely again.

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

As Cao Ren's elite cavalry was dispatched, Cao Wei's reinforcements, which had been ambushed for a long time, quietly reached out to the Jingzhou army that was attacking the city like a big hand...
