Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1418: Xiangyang is in crisis

Accompanied by the rumbling of war drums, wells and pits appeared in the sight of the defenders. At the front was the thunderbolt chariot that was still showing off its power. Ever since Cao Jun arrived in Xiangyang, the thunderbolt chariot had hardly stopped.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes as he looked at Cao Jun in the north of the city, and a look of worry flashed across his expression. After Wancheng's defeat, Guan Yu thought about washing away the shame from Cao Jun all the time. However, when Cao Jun attacked Xiangyang, he also did not protect the Thunderbolt Chariot.

It was very strict, and there were elite cavalry on both sides of the thunder chariots. If you wanted to lead the cavalry out of the city to destroy these thunder chariots, you would have to pay a high price. The defenders were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so Guan Yu did not dare.

act rashly.

"General Guan, Cao's army is about to attack the city." Zhou Cang said.

Zhou Cang was highly regarded by Guan Yu. Although he was a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, he had great strength and martial arts. Now he was not only Guan Yu's deputy general in the army.

"No matter how brave the enemy army is, Xiangyang City is so tall, how can it be so easily defeated?" Guan Yu said.

Densely packed boulders kept pouring towards Xiangyang, and the thunderbolt chariots on the city also kept counterattacking. The thunderbolt chariots from both sides came and went, but Cao Jun took advantage of it. The number of craftsmen under Cao Cao's rule was not

Jingzhou can be compared, especially in the construction of Pili chariots. Under the heavy reward, the craftsmen are very attentive to the transformation of Pili chariots. Now the range of the Pili chariots in Cao's army has reached 330 steps. This is

The distance is enough to suppress the Xiangyang defenders, which is where Cao Cao's confidence lies.

When attacking a city, the powerful military power can shock people in the city. Cao Jun wants to use the Thunderbolt Chariot to scare the defenders. During this period, although the losses of Cao Jun's Thunderbolt Chariot were not small, compared with the losses of the defenders,

, it’s nothing.

When the ladder soldiers were about to approach the city wall, Cao Jun's Thunderbolt Chariot suddenly stopped attacking. The soldiers who were ready to go waited until the ladders were set up on the city wall.

Climb upward.

This was the first time that Cao Jun launched a real attack on Xiangyang City.

Guan Yu shouted: "Defend the city!"

What made Guan Yu angry was that many of the defenders still hadn't woken up from the intensive thunderbolt attack by Cao Jun just now. Some soldiers were even still hiding behind the parapet, trembling.

"Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed without mercy!" Guan Yu said coldly.

The soldiers responsible for supervising the battle began to patrol the city wall. Guan Yu was such a proud and arrogant man. He was not afraid of Cao Jun's thunderbolt chariots, but the defenders were afraid, even though they included many elites from the Jingzhou Army.

, that's just what the Jingzhou Army said. The Jingzhou Army went through many battles, and most of its initial elite was lost when Liu Biao attacked Yuan Shu.

The bloody methods of the supervising soldiers caused the defenders on the city to start defending. However, after such a delay, Cao's army had already climbed onto the city wall in many places. Fortunately, the defenders had a numerical advantage and could not stop Cao's army.

attack.

However, after Cao Jun attacked the city wall, how could he retreat so easily? What they had to do was to provide more opportunities for Cao Jun in the rear.

After learning about the situation ahead, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said: "Send orders to the Qingzhou Army to come forward."

Xun You also did not expect that the first siege could achieve such an effect. It seemed that the previous siege by thunderbolt chariots had put great pressure on the defenders. The Qingzhou Army represented the most powerful force among Cao's troops.

force.

After the Qingzhou Army entered the city, the pressure on the defenders suddenly increased a lot. Facing the crazy Qingzhou Army, many soldiers of the Jingzhou Army showed fear. Especially when they saw some Qingzhou Army charging even with multiple wounds on their bodies, they were deeply moved.

It stimulated them.

Guan Yu's face was a little gloomy. He did not expect that Cao Jun's first round of attack was so fierce. It was completely carried out when the defenders were unprepared. Otherwise, it would not be easy for Cao Jun to attack the city wall. But this is also seen from the side.

There is a big gap between the strength of Jingzhou Army and Cao Army.

"Bring the knife!" Guan Yu shouted.

Zhou Cang immediately handed over Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

Guan Yu led five hundred soldiers to patrol the city wall. With Guan Yu personally taking action, Cao Jun's first round of attack was quickly disintegrated. Although there was still fear in the eyes of many defenders, they no longer had the fear they had before.

.

Guan Yu was frightened by the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Army. The sight of these soldiers fearing death during the charge was extremely terrifying.

Cao Cao felt a little regretful that the first attack failed to capture the front city wall. If the Qingzhou Army could hold on for a while, more Cao Cao troops would board the city wall. If the Jingzhou Army wanted to seize control of the city wall from Cao Jun, they would

It's even more difficult.

The continuous siege of the city for half a month put Xiangyang in danger several times. Although the defenders of Xiangyang were tempered, the price they paid was still tragic, especially when the Qingzhou Army launched an attack, for the defenders

It is said to be a huge torture.

The continuous siege made the aristocratic families in the city even more worried about the situation in Xiangyang. Originally, many aristocratic families did not have high hopes of being able to defend Xiangyang. Not only did Cao's army have a large number of troops, but its combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the Jingzhou army. Otherwise,

Guan Yu will not lose Wancheng.

Zhuge Liang no longer had the confidence he had in the past to win. Faced with such a frontal attack by Cao Jun, he felt tremendous pressure. If he did not handle it properly, it would be even more difficult to defend Xiangyang City.

In the past, Zhuge Liang was calm and calm in the eyes of Jingzhou officials, facing major events without the slightest trouble, as if everything was within his expectations. However, Zhuge Liang did not assist Liu Bei for a long time. Although Zhuge Liang had the vision, but

In terms of his ability to handle things and his understanding of people's hearts, he was much inferior to Cao Cao and his counselors. Moreover, Cao Cao's army was superior in strength, so he was completely relying on his strength to crush the defenders.

"Military advisor, there is an emergency in the east, west and north of the city. If the war continues like this, it will be difficult to defend the outer city." Zheng Yiji said in a somewhat anxious tone.

Zhuge Liang said: "It doesn't matter. With the general in question, it is absolutely impossible for Cao's army to attack Xiangyang."

Other officials in the field had different expressions. Although the defenders had defused Cao Jun's fierce attacks several times, it was Cao Jun who had the advantage. As long as Cao Jun continued such a fierce attack, Xiangyang would most likely fail in the end.

's defenders.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have seen the thoughts of the people present, and said slowly: "I have ordered the navy to send 10,000 people to Xiangyang. They will be able to enter Xiangyang in three days at the latest."
