Jiangling, it is raining continuously.
For Cao Jun, this is definitely a good opportunity to capture the city.
No matter how the defenders use fire, they will be greatly compromised in such weather.
Even Zhu Rong, who always wore cool animal skins, was forced to put on a brocade robe by Liu Mang for fear that he would catch the cold.
Although Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping experienced defending the city for the first time, they were quite like their fathers and showed no fear at all.
"Your Majesty, you have used the corpses of Cao Chun and Liu Ye to delay the attack for one day."
"I'm afraid, starting today, Cao Ren will violently attack the city."
"Our strategy depends on God's face."
Pang Tong was unwilling. If it was a clear day, he would be confident of defeating Cao's army today.
However, God is not kind to him, and now the rain in Jingzhou has even chilled the hearts of the Han soldiers.
"Sir, always look behind the storm."
"What's wrong with this storm coming more violently?"
"We are still defending the city, how can we be afraid of Sima Yi?"
As Liu Mang spoke, Cao Jun had already started taking action!
Taking advantage of the fact that the military camp was right under the city, Cao Jun was able to quickly set up a ladder and prepare to climb up and attack the city!
The one who directs the siege battle is Yue Jin, the warrior who ascends first!
Although his body was injured, Le Jin was slightly injured and could not leave the line of fire.
"You have followed me for a long time, so you should understand the meaning of being first!"
"It's a stormy day today, Jiangling has long been in our army's pocket!"
"Go to the camp first and come up to me!"
The soldiers under Le Jin's command were inspired by their commander and climbed up the ladder one after another!
Zhao Yun naturally would not let the other party succeed easily. He had already ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to boil boiling water!
When Cao Jun climbed halfway up the ladder, scalding boiling water fell from the sky and poured directly on everyone's heads!
"Ahhh!"
"So hot!"
"don't want!"
Cao Jun, who was scalded by boiling water, fell off the ladder one after another, and then died on the spot!
Le Jin felt sorry for the soldiers, but he had to continue to urge them!
"The enemy will not always have boiling water! Keep attacking!"
"As long as Jiangling is captured, glory and wealth will be with you!"
"All my rewards will be given to you!"
Le Jin always keeps his word, and there must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
Seeing that the morale of Cao's army was high, they kept attacking the city wall with ladders.
On the Han army's side, Gan Ning rushed to the rescue. He took the lead and used enough strength to push the ladder directly down!
"I've taken care of everything, isn't it just a ladder? Just let him overturn it!"
"Boss...it's useless to overturn it, they're here again!"
The Jinfan guards guarding the city expressed their sorrow and pointed at the ladder that had just been overturned by Gan Ning, but some soldiers fell to death, and then Cao Jun prepared to climb again!
The house leaked and it rained all night. In addition to the ladder, Sima Yi finally took out a weapon for siege - the oar!
Cao's army seemed to use ladders to attack the city one after another, but without much success.
In fact, Sima Yi had ulterior motives!
"Build a mountain of earth!"
Cao's soldiers immediately obeyed the order and built a mountain of earth at the foot of Jiangling City to climb high and see far away.
Mountains of earth rose from the ground in a matter of seconds due to the superior force.
Even if the soldiers defending the city can use bows and arrows to fight the enemy, there are too many of Cao's troops!
Simply firing arrows could not defeat Cao's army.
"Pile the oars on the mountain, and our army can kill the enemies in the city!"
Cao Ren praised Sima Yi, "Zhongda, what a brilliant plan! If we can capture Jiangling, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the King of Wei!"
Sima Yi nodded and said, "General, the most difficult part of a siege is how to shake the morale of the defenders!"
Cao Ren understood that the other party wanted to show off. Now was the time when morale was high, so it was not easy to attack Sima Yi directly.
"What Zhongda said is true."
"As long as there are casualties among the soldiers defending the city, their morale will be shaken!"
"After the oars are placed, it's time for our army to start killing!"
Cao Ren only felt extremely happy. He had once stationed in Jiangling City, but was beaten severely by Zhou Yu!
Now it's finally his turn to beat someone up!
Cao Jun's oars had been erected, and the archers climbed up, then aimed at Jiangling Tower, and arrows rained down instantly!
"Avoid arrows!"
Zhao Yun roared, and Liu Mang quickly stopped Pang Tong behind him. After all, Feng Chu had a history of being shot by arrows.
"Your Majesty, how could you be so virtuous and capable as to let Your Majesty take such good care of you!"
"Okay, don't talk nonsense! Drink less wine from now on, and you can repay me!"
At this time, Liu Mang asked Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping to protect Pang Tong, while he drew his sword and prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy!
"Brothers, defend the city today and be sure to defeat the enemy!"
call!
Seeing the prince of Hanzhong going into battle in person, all the soldiers of the Han army were excited!
"Jinfan, find a way to deal with the enemies on the rafters!"
"Don't worry, Prince, leave it to Gan Ning!"
Gan Ning and others had been robbing passenger ships on the river all year round, and they had long been adept at climbing.
Gan Ning was about to go into battle shirtless again, but luckily he was stopped by his men.
Click!
The hook lock was successfully placed on the oar. Gan Ning's method was quite concealed. No one noticed the archers of Cao's army who were shooting furiously!
"I'll go first, and you guys will follow!"
"Yes, boss!"
At this time, Gan Ning had already slid along the hook lock towards the oar. During this period, there were arrows coming at him. Gan Ning held a knife in one hand and kept blocking!
The next Jinfan people were also shot to death, but no one had time to grieve!
If we can't stop Lou Lu from shooting the defenders, if this continues for a long time, the morale of the Han army will collapse sooner or later!
kill!
Gan Ning had already climbed onto the rafter and suddenly charged out with a roar!
The archers of Cao's army never thought that Jinfan was also good at climbing towers and oars!
As long as they fight in close quarters, the Han army is never afraid of anyone!
Even the Qiang people in Xiliang must bow to the Han army in terms of killing people!
"There seems to be something wrong with the roof!"
Zhang Liao rode up to ask Cao Ren.
"Don't worry, Zhongda has already been prepared!"
"You can't take these oars with you anyway, we've already made another batch!"
"Just set it on fire. If you can burn the enemy to death, that would be the best!"
Cao Ren had no expression on his face. He knew that even if the fire was successfully ignited with kerosene, not all the enemy soldiers would be burned to death!
Those poor archers are bound to suffer many casualties!
But this is war!
Once you get involved, you will die or I will die!
A raging fire breaks out!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gan Ning quickly ordered the remaining Jinfan to retreat from the hook lock!
"Boss, what about you?"
"Don't worry, I'm more skilled than you!"
After everyone retreated, Gan Ning followed the hook and left. Fortunately, he retreated in time and the rainy weather prevented the fire from spreading quickly!
Looking back at the burned-out oar, Gan Ning was still frightened!
Although Cao Jun's move made the Han army pay a price, many Cao Jun archers were also burned to death!
You know, training a qualified archer takes a lot of time!
"Damn it, Thief Cao really has a great family and a great business!"
"Your Majesty once said that the sun always comes after the storm. When will the storm for Te Niang pass?"
