Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 885

"It's okay, Niu Sima has worked hard today, let's go and rest first."

Cao Ren also saw Niu Jin's hard fight today. He was covered in blood. He was naturally not good to say anything. After a few words of comfort, he ordered Niu Jin to return to camp and rest.

"Boning, I would have taken the order of the Prime Minister to capture Jiangling. This Jiangling is the place where the Xiliang Army’s food and grass are transported. Once Jiangling is taken, the Xiliang Army can be divided into two parts, Jingbei and Jingnan. Very advantageous."

Cao Ren said to Man Chong: "It's a pity that this Jiangling defender is unknown, but he is quite tough. I'm afraid he won't be able to take it off within three to five days. Can Boning have a clever plan?"

Man Chong frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly a fierce color flashed in his pupils: "General Zixiao, I have just observed under the head of the city. Although the enemy defender has some ways, but the defender has little experience. The battle formation, and our army not only has more numbers than the enemy, but also has a long history of battle formation, and the level of elite is far beyond."

Cao Ren frowned, as if he had realized something.

"What does Bernin mean?"

"Attack day and night!"

Man Chong said coldly: "The enemy has few soldiers and can't withstand attrition, and our army has more than four times the strength of the enemy. We can fight a war of attrition here and take down Jiangling completely!"

"However, the night battle is also quite detrimental to our sergeants, for fear of death and injury." Cao Ren frowned.

Manchong sneered: "General Zixiao's words are bad. Our army is good and the enemy is timid. If it is a night battle, the enemy is even more unbearable than our army. The importance of Jiangling need not be said. Today even if some soldiers are injured. worth it."

Compared with the five good generals and the brothers Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, Manchu is not well-known in the Cao Wei camp, but he is a real cruel man.

In the early years, Cao Hong's domestic servant committed a crime and was arrested by Manchu in accordance with the law. After Cao Hong learned about it, he entrusted Cao Cao to open the Internet. But after Man Chong heard about this, he immediately beheaded the prisoner without saying anything. After Cao Cao learned of the incident, he was not angry and rejoiced (probably related to his use of a five-colored stick to blame his uncle).

Not even the face of the immediate boss is given, which is evident in the tyrannical nature of the pet.

Cao Ren pondered for a while, raised his head, and finally made up his mind.

"Okay! Order the soldiers to make more torches, attack the city at night, and take down Jiangling City as soon as possible in any case. There can be no heavy trust from the prime minister." Cao Ren gritted his teeth and agreed.

Man Chong nodded: "Don't worry, General, I will make arrangements and take down Jiangling City as soon as possible!"

...

"Ouch..."

"It hurts? Just bear with it. How can it hurt to apply medicine?"

"Have meat tonight? Great, it's worth the injury!"

"The school lieutenant considers everyone's hard work in defending the city, and deliberately slaughtered a few fat pigs to let everyone try!"

Above the city, some soldiers were dealing with the wounds, and they were touched by other soldiers and couldn't help taking a breath. The majestic and considerate soldiers worked hard, so they killed a few fat pigs, the big barrel of broth was moved up, and the fragrance diffused everywhere. The soldiers who hadn't had a meal slobbered and couldn't wait to eat.

"Hey, today's Cao army's attack on the city is really fierce. Fortunately, the captain's command is so good, otherwise I'm afraid that Jiangling City will not be able to keep it.

Some soldiers were discussing today's siege matters in fear. Most of them were Jingzhou soldiers. Except for Jiang Xia soldiers, they rarely fought with the enemy. Therefore, they had some inexperience in battle, and they were in a hurry. Thanks to Wei Yan's good command.

An veteran said with emotion: "Hey... I don't know when the reinforcements will come. I don't know how many brothers have been killed or injured in the past few days."

"At least three to five days, right? It is said that the 40,000 Xiliang army with jaws will be stationed in Xiangyang, and it will arrive in three days soon. If the Xiliang cavalry is dispatched, I am afraid it will arrive in one or two days."

After speaking, the team finally had its turn. Several Jingzhou soldiers grinned and filled the broth with wooden bowls. There were meat pieces of various sizes floating in it, and they were really salivating.

The Jingzhou soldiers who received the food didn’t care about anything else. They squatted on the city’s head and started to eat. They competed with the eating pigs. In ancient times, there was no large-scale breeding industry like modern ones, so the price of poultry was very expensive. Ordinary people may not be able to eat a meal of meat in a month, and being able to eat meat at this moment naturally makes everyone happy.

At this moment, the sound of war drums and horns suddenly sounded outside the city.

咚咚咚! Oh oh oh!

The sudden sound of the drum horn caused some young soldiers to look out of the city.

In the Cao Jun camp outside the city, hordes of Cao soldiers filed out, holding a torch in each hand, and countless torches abruptly reflected a light on the dark earth and gathered into a large Cao army square.

"Cao Jun is going to attack the city? What's the matter? Didn't they attack the city during the day? Don't Cao Jun take a rest?"

Several Jingzhou soldiers stared at each other in disbelief.

"Quickly, notify the captain and let him go to the top of the city!"

In fact, before they notified him, Wei Yan heard the drum horn coming in from outside the city. He didn't take off his armor at all. He walked up to the city head fully armed, frowning.

"Damn... these Cao soldiers really don't make people clean."

The soldier on the side rushed forward and said, "Lieutenant, what should our army do?" He looked nervous, a little afraid of Cao Jun.

"How to do it? Soldiers will come to block, and water will come to cover up!"

Wei Yan said in a serious tone: "The messenger is ready to resist! Order the reserve team to concentrate under the tower, and support at any time after hearing the command of the general."

After all, Wei Yan strode to the top of the city with "Tatata". After seeing Wei Yan, the defenders on the top of the city were less panicked. It seemed that as long as Wei Yan was there, Jiangling City would not Will be conquered.

"Lieutenant, can we hold Jiangling?" A timid voice suddenly came from the side.

Wei Yan turned his head and saw that he was a young Jingzhou soldier with a tender face and some fine hair on his lips. He was about 17 or 18 years old.

Wei Yan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, our army will be able to hold Jiangling!"

The young Jingzhou Soldier nodded, and subconsciously clenched the bow and arrow in his hand. This was the only thing on the battlefield that could bring him a sense of security.

The Cao Jun outside the city had already deployed his troops long ago, enclosing all the three gates of Jiangling City from the east, west and south, dripping water.

"General Zixiao, give an order. As long as Jiangling is taken, the Xiliang army in Jingnan will be like a turtle in the urn, and it can be wiped out in one fell swoop." The full pet on the side said to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren nodded and drew his sword out of its sheath.

"The whole army is attacking!"

"kill!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing swept from the surging Cao army.
