Wei Yan immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
It was obviously you who encouraged me to ask the military advisor, but why did I become impatient?
At this moment, a soldier walked in quickly from outside the camp.
"To report to the military advisors, generals, the Jiangdong warships on the Yangtze River suddenly set sail and left!"
As soon as these words came out, the spirits of everyone in the tent were lifted!
Pang Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile,
"The general must have succeeded in sneaking a surprise attack on Jianye, and Sun Quan was forced to return to the division for rescue!"
"Military advisor, what are we waiting for? Just do it and it's done!"
Ma Chao was gearing up, his eyes sparkling!
"No rush, let's wait a little longer to make sure that Sun Quan has indeed left, and then we can attack the city again!"
Pang Tong ordered.
Everyone has been waiting for a few days, and this is not far behind.
So they waited patiently and after confirming that the Jiangdong warship had indeed left and would not come back, they immediately began to prepare to attack the city!
Chaisang City.
Although he was surrounded by Cao's army, Cheng Pu still did not panic.
He had received news that Sun Quan's reinforcements were waiting for the opportunity on the Yangtze River.
As long as Cao Jun dared to attack the city, Sun Quan would attack from the flanks.
He was patrolling the city with several of his generals to avoid any trouble.
At this moment, Ding Feng, who was in charge of defending the city, hurried over.
As soon as he saw Cheng Pu, he shouted,
"Captain Zuo, there is movement in Cao's army outside the city!"
Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, but without hesitation, he immediately led everyone towards the city wall.
When he reached the top of the city, he looked out.
Sure enough, as Ding Feng said, Cao's army outside the city has gathered and seems to be ready to attack the city at any time!
"Strange, what does Cao Jun think? Aren't they afraid of being attacked from both sides?"
The military commander Ma Zhong on the side said puzzledly.
"Is it possible that Cao Jun is relying on something?"
Pan Zhang also frowned.
Cheng Pu's face was as dark as water, and he couldn't see any fluctuations. He said calmly,
"No matter what Cao Jun's plot is, we must be prepared to defend the city! Pass the order and prepare for Cao Jun's attack!"
"Here!"
All the soldiers clasped their fists and took the order to leave.
After everyone else left, Cheng Pu looked at Cao Jun with swords and flags flying outside the city, his eyes full of deep fear.
Although Pang Tong's ability is not as good as Yang Ling's, he is still proficient in the art of war and uses troops like a god.
It is impossible for him not to know that attacking Chaisang might lead to a flank attack by Sun Quan.
But since he dared to do this, it must be what Pan Zhang said, he must be relying on something!
What exactly is he relying on?
Before Cheng Pu could figure out the twists and turns, Cao Jun outside the city had already launched the first wave of attack!
Several large-caliber artillery pieces were slowly pushed to the bottom of Chaisang City by Cao Jun.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Pu's expression changed!
Naturally, he heard Liu Bei and others mention how terrifying Cao Jun's artillery was!
"Everyone get back off the city wall!"
Cheng Pu did not dare to neglect and immediately gave the order.
Fortunately, Jiangdong's army had anticipated in advance that Cao's army would attack the city with artillery.
There were not many soldiers on the city. After receiving Cheng Pu's order, they quickly retreated.
Not long after, after debugging, Cao Jun's artillery began to roar.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The artillery roared like an angry giant beast.
Accompanied by the bombardment of cannonballs falling on the city wall!
The Jiangdong Army members hiding in the city even felt that the earth was shaking slightly!
Although they were all elites trained by Cheng Pu, they still showed fear when facing this epoch-making and terrifying firearm!
Seeing this situation, Cheng Pu quickly said calmly,
"You don't need to panic, Marquis Wu is on the river! As long as Cao's army attacks the city, Marquis Wu will send troops to rescue us!"
After hearing this, the faces of the soldiers looked much better.
Chaisang was far less strong than Jiangling. Under the bombardment of artillery, it didn't even last two hours before the city wall began to collapse in large areas.
"The baggage camp, clean up the ruins!"
Pang Tong, who was sitting in the army, ordered in a deep voice.
When the artillery stopped roaring, the soldiers of the baggage battalion, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed to the city wall under the cover of soldiers of other battalions and began to clean up the ruins.
It didn't take long for them to clear a path among the ruins!
"General Meng Qi, I leave it to you!"
Pang Tong nodded to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao took out his spear and said sternly,
"Soldiers from Meng Ziying, follow me into the city!"
"Here!"
Three thousand soldiers from the Mengzi camp responded loudly.
Wei Yan on the side did not show any weakness and said loudly,
"Brothers from the Wenzi camp, don't let the brothers from the Mengzi camp take the lead!"
The soldiers of the Literary Battalion also responded with a roar.
As the vanguard, the two battalions of soldiers, led by Ma Chao and Wei Yan, poured into Chaisang City like a tide.
Long after the roar of the artillery stopped, Cheng Pu and others knew that Cao Jun was preparing to enter the city!
Fortunately, they had been prepared. All the residential buildings next to the city wall had been demolished, leaving only a large open space.
Jiangdong soldiers led by Cheng Pu, Ding Feng and Pan Zhang were hiding in civilian houses.
"Rumble..."
With the sound of heavy footsteps, Sergeant Cao's soldiers appeared in the sight of Jiangdong Army.
"Fire the arrow!"
Cheng Pu shouted sharply.
In an instant, countless feathered arrows flew out from the houses like locusts and shot towards Cao Jun!
However, the soldiers of Cao Cao in the front row were all covered in armor, and they were holding huge shields in their hands.
The rest of the soldiers are hiding behind them!
The arrows clanked on the giant shield, but they were unable to harm Cao Jun at all.
But in the blink of an eye, Cao Jun had advanced to less than ten steps away from Jiang Dongjun.
Just as the Jiangdong Army officers were preparing for a hand-to-hand battle with Cao Jun, they saw countless clay pots flying out of Cao Jun's formation.
When the clay pot shattered and the black liquid poured over the ground, Cheng Pu's expression suddenly changed when he smelled the pungent smell.
"No, it's fierce fire oil!"
The next moment, I saw countless rockets fired from Cao's army formation!
When these rockets landed on the fierce oil, a raging fire broke out in an instant!
A moment later, the residence where Jiang Dongjun was hiding was enveloped in fire!
They screamed and wailed and fled from the houses.
Some Jiangdong soldiers who had no time to escape turned into burning men and let out shrill screams!
For a moment, the house was filled with the smell of barbecue and the sound of screams!
Jiangdong's soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were also frightened by the tragic situation of their companions.
However, before they could finish reorganizing, Cao Jun was already approaching.
I saw Ma Chao and Wei Yan taking the lead, waving their weapons and rushing to the nearby area.
The two men cut down several enemy soldiers one after another, and then shouted sharply,
"I am Xiliang Jin Ma Chao!"
"I am Yiyang Wei Yan!"
"If you don't want to die, quickly surrender and capture him!"
