On the first day of the siege, the Wei army paid the price of 800 soldiers killed and several buildings and oars burned.
A total of more than 400 Han troops were annihilated, and the loss ratio in the siege battle reached two to one, which can be said to be quite good.
However, Sima Yi was not satisfied. The Han army only lost 400 people, and only 800 of his own side were killed.
This didn't meet his expectations!
After all, God is good and no one knows how many more days it will last!
If the sky clears up, Jiangling will change from fighting a trapped beast to taking the initiative!
Fire attack!
Sima Yi was scheming and knew that Liu Mang would use fire attacks to defeat his company strategy!
Both sides are now betting on whether the rain will continue continuously or whether the sunshine will always follow the storm!
"Hurry up and make the oars! Tomorrow, at least ten oars will be used to attack the city!"
Sima Yi gave orders, but Le Jin treated him coldly.
"Lord Sima, was it you who gave the order to burn the oars in the building today?"
Le Jin dragged his injured body towards Sima Yi.
"That's right! It was precisely because of the burning of the oars that our army managed to annihilate many of the defenders who had sneak attacks."
Snapped!
Le Jin stepped forward and slapped Sima Yi directly. The latter was caught off guard and was stunned on the spot!
"When you set fire to the oar, have you ever thought that there is still my robe on top?"
"If you don't care about your troops, who will work for the King of Wei in the future?"
"You have never put the lives of ordinary soldiers like us in your eyes!"
Le Jin started from a young age and was appreciated by Cao Cao for his courage to reach the top. Step by step he climbed to the rank of Five Sons of Good General.
Sima Yi was born into a noble family. In his eyes, what was the difference between the lives of ordinary soldiers and those of livestock?
"Le Jin...you are beating Shangguan!"
"I'm going to beat you, this ungrateful person!"
The soldiers looked at Le Jin's figure with admiration in their eyes.
Many soldiers of Cao's army admired most not Zhang Liao, who summoned the tiger in ancient times, nor Yu Jin, who was strict in running the army, nor Xu Huang, who had the style of Zhou Yafu, nor Zhang He, who had already defected to Liu Mang.
A soldier can also counterattack and become a good general of five sons!
Le Jin is a role model for Cao Jun soldiers!
"Wen Qian!"
Zhang Liao stepped forward and stood in front of Le Jin.
"Zhang Wenyuan, do you also agree with Sima Yi, a wolf-hearted person like him?"
"War always kills people."
Zhang Liao's face was expressionless, he was using his own method to protect Le Jin.
Now Sima Yi is favored, and Cao Pi is backing him.
If a memorial is submitted to the court, it will only be Le Jin who suffers in the end.
Although Zhang Liao and Le Jin were at odds with each other, they still cherished each other and were true life-and-death friends.
"Zhongda, this person usually has a bad mind. Don't get along with him."
"When General Wenyuan opens his mouth, Yi naturally has to think more about it."
Sima Yi saw a threat in Zhang Liao's eyes!
Although Zhang Liao's words were polite, his tone did not allow Sima Yi to question him!
"Zhongda, Le Wenqian has this temper. There are many old soldiers who were his former robes."
When Cao Ren came forward, Sima Yi knew that the matter could only be settled hastily.
His mouth was like a beating in vain!
Le Jin, Zhang Liao!
Sima Yi remembered what the two of them did today. The tiger looked down upon the wolf and never fought for revenge!
"Tomorrow Lou Lu will continue to attack the city and cannot be burned again!"
"If you even kill your own people, who will die for Meng De in the future?"
"Zhongda, you just have to make suggestions. The decisive victory on the battlefield depends on me and other generals."
Cao Ren's words are very obvious, you Sima Yi is too incompetent to direct the war!
…
The next day.
Jiangling City is at war again!
Liu Mang was always with the soldiers guarding the city, and he was even directly on the tower.
Eating, drinking, and eating, even with the soldiers.
Liu Mang also knows how to enjoy hardships. Isn't Cao Jun's military camp just under the city?
When it is convenient for everyone, just go directly to Cao Jun.
"The prince is so powerful that he can pee far away!"
"Come on, let's see me next!"
"Hahaha! I peed on someone!"
"His Majesty, stay away, I'm coming!"
The Jiangling defenders were enjoying their hardships, and the real hardship was for Cao Jun downstairs!
They wanted to fight back, but they couldn't do it without permission, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law.
Fortunately, we finally got the order to siege the city!
Today's Cao army no longer uses cloud ladders as its main attack, but mainly builds mountains of earth.
"They are going to use the oars to kill us and other defenders again!"
Liu Mang made a prompt decision and ordered: "Where are the things I asked you to prepare before?"
Zhao Yun shouted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we are ready and can use it at any time!"
When Cao Jun was piling up mountains of earth, the defenders in the city had already begun to fight back with bows and arrows!
"Don't be afraid! We are under the city, and they are not so easy to shoot arrows!"
Zhang Liao braved the rain of arrows and kept blocking with the Yellow Dragon Yanyue Sword in his hand, motivating his soldiers.
Le Jin and Zhang Liao looked at each other. If they had only five days, they would definitely conquer Jiangling!
The tower rises from the ground again!
The archers of Cao's army climbed to the top again, preparing to shoot the defenders in Jiangling City!
However, Liu Mang had already made preparations. The huge wood that was supposed to be used as a battering ram was all used to resist the oars!
"Get ready, hit!"
Liu Mang personally led the soldiers and rushed towards the building!
Bang!
The newly constructed oar was unable to hold up under the impact and collapsed completely!
Many archers of Cao's army screamed. In order to facilitate them to shoot the defenders in the city, Tushandu was built under the Jiangling city wall.
This also gave the defenders a chance to fight back!
With Liu Mang Zhuyu in front, the Jiangling defenders began to hit the oars with city hammers.
"The tushan tower is a little further away, so as not to give the defenders a chance to fight back!"
Cao Ren gave the order. Although two towers and oars were destroyed, Cao's army prepared ten today!
In the confrontation just now, the defenders also lost many brothers.
Pang Tong was very angry at this time. If it weren't for this thief, he would have already had a plan to defeat the enemy!
"Let all the people bring me the New Year firecrackers!"
Pang Tongyi gave the order and already had a plan in mind!
Facing an opponent like Sima Yi, ordinary strategies can no longer work.
Now he wants to use cunning tactics to resist tomorrow's attack!
"Replace all the medicine stones with black ones like this!"
"Try to be careful and avoid contact with flammable objects!"
"By the way, remember the ratio I'm talking about now, mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal!"
Pang Tong looked at the raging Lou Lu and sneered: "Tomorrow, I'll make you bastards look good!"
The brutal siege battle on the second day was over, and both sides could finally breathe a sigh of relief!
The Han army paid the price of a thousand casualties, and Cao's army was not much better.
This forced attack on the defenders left nearly three thousand corpses!
"General Zixiao, in five more days, our army will definitely be able to defeat Jiangling!"
Cao Ren also smelled the breath of victory. The Han army had begun to suffer heavy losses. If this continued, the morale of the troops in the city would definitely fluctuate.
At that time, it was the time for the Heavenly General to show his might.
