Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 645 Exploration of Jiangling City

"Can you find the traces of the Canglang Army of the Wuling Army?"

Cao Ren wanted to ask the generals under his command.

The news came from Cai Mao that the Wuling Army's Canglang Corps had lost track, and Cao Ren and the others were told to be careful, which shocked Cao Ren.

The Canglang Army is good at fighting in the mountains, and their ability to climb mountains and mountains is unmatched.Speaking of these four battlefields, the place Shi Zhongyu is most likely to go to is really Cao Ren's place.

Because Dongfang Qiang only summoned the [-] Suzaku Legion, plus the [-] soldiers from Yidu County, there is still a gap between Cao Ren and Cao Ren.

For the safety of Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent [-] troops. In addition to the [-] troops Cao Ren brought from Xudu, Dongfang Qiang was at a disadvantage in the middle battlefield.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Cao Ren to block Dongfang Qiang's attack.

……

"General, let's not go to the middle battlefield, where are we going?"

Sha Moke saw that the army was about to leave the border of Jingzhou, and had doubts about Shi Zhongyu's destination.

"Lao Sha, under the orders of Zhuge's military adviser, I, Canglang, will go to Changsha to exchange for the Xuanwu Army."

Shi Zhongyu said.

"Why? If we help the Suzaku Legion, we can also defeat Cao Ren." Samoke said.

"Because if we go, we can only defeat Cao Ren, so we need to change the Xuanwu Army." Shi Zhongyu explained.

The reason why they went quietly was to complete the exchange without anyone noticing.

Because the Xuanwu Army was stationed in Zhongmou, it was a shock to both Cao Jun and Yuan Jun.The Xuanwu Army's ability to defend the city is second to none among the Wuling Army. With Wenpin in charge, the Cao Army will not attack easily.

"Haha, it's a pleasure to fight under the lord's command!" Samoke suddenly laughed.

"The place where the Lord is is the focus of this battle, keep going!" Shi Zhongyu ordered.

After the wolf army disappeared from the enemy's sight, they marched day and night, all the way to the north!
What Cao Ren was worried about did not happen. However, at the end of May, the Xuanwu Army suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield. With the Suzaku Army's super long-range strike ability, Cao Ren lost three consecutive cities!

Outside Jiangling City, the two major armies of the Wuling Army assembled and formed a siege formation.Cao Ren stood on the tower, watching all this calmly.

Jiangling must not be lost!

This is the task Cao Ren set for himself!

Once Jiangling falls, the Wuling army can drive straight in.

Going north, after capturing Huarong County, it directly threatened Xiangyang.

To the east, Jingzhou has no danger to defend. Cooperating with the Wuling Army's Jiaolong fleet, it can become a sweeping trend.

In order to stabilize the situation, Cao Ren arranged Jiangling's defense as early as when he entered Jingzhou.And Liu Biao was also worried that Jiangling would not be able to hold on, so he sent a lot of food, grass and equipment to Jiangling in order to make Cao Ren last longer.

There are three battlefields in Jingzhou. Fortunately, Cao Ren came to help.Let Liu Biao avoid the situation of focusing on one thing and losing another.

Because the Xuanwu Army of the Wuling Army broke out suddenly, the Wuling Army directly broke Cao Ren's arrangement in front of Jiangling.

At this time, the ownership of Jiangling is the key to the struggle between the two armies!

Under the city, Dongfangqiang, Zhang Liao, Wenpin, and Guan Hai gathered together to discuss how to test Cao Ren.

Jiangling City is a strategically important location, and Jingzhou will definitely have heavy troops.A strong attack is obviously not advisable.

"General Wen, why don't the Suzaku Legion attack with catapults, and the Xuanwu Legion go there to test it out?"

Wenpin is at the same level as Dongfangqiang, but Dongfangqiang is the commander of the central army, and both legions have to obey orders.

"That's all!"

Wenpin has no objection to Dongfangqiang's proposal.Jiangling City cannot be bypassed, and it is a strategic location that the Wuling Army must take.

"Command, attack the city!"

Dongfang Qiang gave an order, and the Wuling Army's rear battle drums blared!
"Ignite~ Let it go!"

As usual, the Suzaku Legion launched a fireball offensive.

Twenty fireballs flew into the sky at a time, roaring and crashing towards Jiangling City!
"Xuanwu Legion, attack!"

The fireball offensive started, and the Xuanwu Army was not idle. Wenpin drew out his sword and pointed it at Jiangling City, and the soldiers moved quickly to prepare to attack the city!
"Archer, go!"

Zhang Liao gave an order, and the archers of the Suzaku Army followed the Xuanwu Army and marched towards the city!

After the catapult stopped attacking, it was their responsibility to cover the Basalt Army's attack.

Watching the Wuling army approaching quickly, Cao Ren remained calm.

At this moment, he knew that he could not be in a hurry.The reality of the city cannot be detected by the Wuling army.

The first battle of a siege is usually a trial!

Therefore, Cao Ren did not order a counterattack, but the receipt of the counterattack must be effective after the Wuling army's catapults stopped roaring.

Although the city wall has been paved with sand, who dares to show his head if this kind of fire bombs that can shake the wall keep falling?
"Counterattack!"

The Xuanwu army approached the city wall, and at the moment when the ladder was erected, Cao Ren finally ordered a counterattack.

"Archer, fight back!"

"There are too many people over there, shoot at Ma Chao!"

"Oil, pour the oil quickly! Yes, burn them to death!"

"Why are you standing there? Lift a rock and throw it down..."

Cao Jun, the generals at all levels of the Jingzhou Army, constantly commanded his subordinates... In Jiangling City, various orders came and went.

The counterattack of the defenders was very fierce. The first batch of siege soldiers of the Xuanwu Army were pushed back without even touching the city wall!
"General Dongfang, the morale of the defenders is very high," Wen Pin said.

Although the Xuanwu Legion's defense is relatively strong, their siege ability is not weak, otherwise Shi Zhongyu would not have traveled thousands of miles to replace them.

"Not only the morale, but also the equipment for defending the city. It seems that Cao Ren is already prepared!" Dongfang Qiang said.

The counterattack of the defenders instantly came down with arrows and stones, and the Xuanwu Army was pushed back.God knows how much they dropped.

"Try again?" Wenpin asked.

"Well, increase the attack power!" Dongfang Qiang replied.

"Ziwei, go and test the reality of Jiangling City!" Wen Pin said.

"Okay, I'm going to see how many tricks Cao Ren has."

Guan Hai responded and led the second echelon of the siege team to press on!
The archers of the Suzaku Legion exchanged fire with the defenders below the city. Due to the disadvantaged terrain, the role of cover was greatly reduced.

But at this time, Guan Hai had already led the troops to kill him!Together with Guan Hai, there are also two wells from the Suzaku Legion!
The fact that Jing Lan was assigned means Dongfang Qiang.The purpose is to allow the archers to better suppress the defenders, thereby covering the siege soldiers.

"Soldiers, after breaking through Jiangling, you can go to Xiangyang! Follow me!"

Guan Hai yelled, took the lead, raised his knife and went up the ladder in fear.

After the soldiers saw it, their morale soared, and they followed suit and climbed up one after another.

In the Wuling Army, the orders of the generals are usually "follow me" instead of "give me".

Because "follow me" can even arouse the enthusiasm of soldiers to kill the enemy!
The morale of the Wuling army suddenly increased, and Cao Ren noticed it at this time.

He took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a general attacking the city!
Cao Ren also had to admire Dongfang Qiang. You tried to siege the city, and even let the general lead the army!

"Then don't blame me, Cao Ren, for being cruel."

Cao Ren secretly made up his mind to keep Guan Hai, so he sent another team of archers there!Ready to shoot Guan Hai directly!
