Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 648 City Gate
After Gan Ning arrived, the five of them discussed the details of the siege in Dongfang Qiang's tent, and it didn't take long for the sky to dawn.

"Haha, there is an ingenious strategy from the military master, this Jiangling City will be destroyed! Xingba is tired from a long journey, so he will rest first today, let me go and visit Cao Ren later!"

Dongfang Qiang was in a good mood, the size and details of the siege had been agreed upon, and he was waiting to attack at night.

"Okay, there will be a big battle at night, so Gan Ning will listen to General Dongfang and go to rest!" Gan Ning said.

If it was as usual, Gan Ning would definitely follow to fight and test.However, their Marine Corps has a major task at night, and he can't expose it yet.

"Order to bury the pot and make a meal, and the soldiers will have a full meal. Let's go to 'siege the city'." Dongfang Qiang ordered.

"Yes!"

……

In Jiangling City, Cao Jun and Wuling Army had confronted each other for several days. Cao Ren also wanted to repel the Wuling Army, but Dongfang Qiang used his troops extremely rigorously.

On the city tower, Cao Ren made a routine inspection, but saw the densely packed Wuling army outside the city.

"The enemy is coming, prepare to fight!" Cao Ren shouted.

Immediately, Jiangling City was full of gongs and drums, and Cao Jun's soldiers rushed to the top of the city. Cao Ren was very well prepared!

The Wuling Army slowly approached the city. According to the usual practice, the Suzaku Army took the lead in launching a fireball attack.

"Catapults, attack!" Dongfang Qiang ordered, and twenty catapults roared at once!
The city walls of Jiangling trembled for a while, but Cao Jun's soldiers were no longer afraid.It is common for them to attack this kind of fireball.

"Hey, Wuling army is not annoying, if you want to attack, just go straight up, you have to throw so many big stones!"

"Who says it's not? If you want to smash the city wall, it won't collapse, and if you want to smash people, you won't be able to smash it. It's a waste."

……

The soldiers of Cao Jun laughed heartily, as if they had never been frightened by the catapults of the Wuling Army before.

The fireball offensive lasted for a while, and then the archers of the Suzaku Legion fired a volley to suppress it.But at this time, Cao Jun had already stood up and fought back.

"Jinglan, come out!" Dongfangqiang ordered, and four Jinglans in the Wuling army came out.

Another four well rails were dispatched!Dongfang Qiang's approach made Cao Ren unable to tell whether it was a test or a real attack.

"Bowmen, suppress the enemy wells and destroy them!"

Cao Ren ordered that Cao Jun's crossbowmen immediately assemble on the tower, install bows and crossbows, and shoot at Wuling Jun Jinglan.

Generally speaking, Cao Jun's crossbows are powerful and threatening.

However, there was a precedent that the well fence was shot apart before, and Dongfang Qiang had already ordered reinforcements.If Cao Jun wants to destroy it, it will not be so easy.

"kill……"

Loud and clear shouts of killing came from the bottom of the city, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army had already launched an offensive!
Numerous ladders were erected on the city wall, and under the cover of the archers of the Suzaku Legion and Jinglan, the soldiers began to climb up with their shields on top of their shields.

"檑木, hit me hard!"

Cao Ren commanded in an orderly manner on the tower, Cao soldiers kept throwing wood, smashing rolling stones, pouring kerosene...

On the siege side, the Xuanwu Army failed to attack the city for the first time, so they could only retreat!

However, soon, the second echelon of the siege came up!The fierce battle lasted until noon, and the Wuling army attacked the tower twice, but under Cao Ren's calm command, they were both suppressed by Cao's army.

"Retreat!" Seeing that the morale of Dongfang Qiang was lower than in the morning, he directly ordered to retreat!

With the sound of gold ringing, the Wuling army retreated like a tide!
A small colonel next to Cao Ren asked, "General, don't you want to pursue?"

"Pursue?"

Seeing the little schoolboy's expression moved, Cao Ren said: "Even if the Wuling army retreats, they will rush away, scattered and not chaotic. Our army will catch up, and it will be easy to be counterattacked by them. You just need to guard the city!"

"The final general obeys orders!" Seeing Cao Ren's displeasure, the generals hurriedly bowed.

The Wuling army tried to attack the city as usual, and Cao Ren felt much calmer.If Dongfang Qiang had something abnormal, he would think too much instead.

But under this normal appearance, there is Zhuge Liang's strategy hidden.

It was obvious that Cao Ren had been tricked, he had no idea that Gan Ning had come here.

At night, in the Wuling army camp, Gan Ning prepares his army for battle!

After a day's rest, the soldiers' mental and physical strength recovered a lot. After a full meal, they began to prepare.

"Xingba, sometimes I really envy you!" Dongfang Qiang said.

"Dongfang, I envy you! You always have battles to fight, and our navy can only rely on you to eat meat." Gan Ning pouted.

Now there are fewer battles in the navy and fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds. This is not the first time he has complained.

"I think you don't know how to be blessed while you are in the midst of blessings. My lord spends the most time on your sailors."

Wen Pin's eyes lit up when he saw the exquisite equipment of the soldiers of the Marine Corps.

"Haha, that's right, but there's no war..." Gan Ning said.

The battleships of the Flood Dragon Fleet cost a lot of money. With Yizhou's accumulation, they can only maintain twenty ships at most.

There is also the equipment of the Marine Corps, which also took a lot of thought from the weapon shop.

"Whether we can break the city depends on tonight! Xingba, be careful!" Dongfang Qiang reminded.

"Don't worry, General Dongfang!" Gan Ning said seriously!

"Let's go!" After receiving the road map handed over by Dongfang Qiang, Gan Ning ordered the marines to set off.

Dongfang Qiang and the others looked at the team of 2000 people, and their hearts were surging.

It is too important to win Jiangling!
Although the battle on the front line of Zhongmou Changsha is the key to victory, if the Wuling army can conquer Jiangling, it will be a heavy blow to Jingzhou.

At the same time, the Wuling Army can take the initiative, and it can also boost morale on other battlefields!
……

In the middle of the night, Gan Ning led the marines and kept hiding around Jiangling City.According to the information provided by the guard in black, after a while, Cao Jun will change his guard.

Gan Ning wanted to quietly attack Jiangling City after Cao Jun changed his guard.

As for why it was after the changing of the guard, it was because among the Cao troops who were changing the guard, there was a group of patrol soldiers with black guards.

On the top of the city, the torches are burning, and there are many people.

Cao Jun's money was changing guards, and Gan Ning's heart was also lifted, because he didn't know where the black guards would be.

At the fourth watch, a torch waving up and down suddenly appeared above the city of Jiangling.

"Soldiers, let's go!" Gan Ning ordered.

The soldiers bowed their backs and ran quickly in the direction of the torch.

The guard in black who was waving the torch heard a few birdsong and led the patrol away.

Hey~
With a small sound, a flying claw was fixed on the female wall.

Ding~ding~ding~
"Go up!" Gan Ning shouted in a low voice.

After the patrol passed, there was less than a quarter of an hour, and enough people had to go up!

Flying claws to climb walls, this is one of the training items of the Marine Corps, they not only have to climb walls, but also climb ships...

"go!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, about 200 people climbed the city wall.Gan Ning led the 200 people and rushed towards the city gate!

At this time, on the other side of the city wall, Cao Jun had already discovered the situation.

Different from Gan Ning's cautiousness, the marines over there deliberately exposed themselves to allow Gan Ning enough time to open the city gate.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Jiangling City became lively in an instant!The marines used arm crossbows to shoot at Cao Jun under the city, and "retreated in a hurry" after finding out that they were out of reach!
"No, go to the city gate!"

When Cao Ren saw the Wuling army retreat calmly, he suddenly thought of something and shouted hastily.

　Tomorrow is May Day, friends have fun! !
