Three Kingdoms

Cao Jun camped in Dangyang.

This Cao Jun camp was built with a lot of effort from the beginning. It is strong and majestic. The densely packed watchtowers and sentry towers alone are enough to scare people away. Except that the terrain is incomparable to those fortresses built on cliffs and steep and dangerous peaks, the other fortifications are even better.

It is precisely because of this that even if Jiangdong's soldiers and horses pushed Cao Ren and others back into the camp, it was difficult to break through for a while. After all, although the people crossed the river, the siege equipment could not swim.

If you want to use it, you can either build it at the Jiangdong camp and then push it carefully from the pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge is narrow and uneven. If the siege equipment that was finally made is not happy and jumps into the water, it will be Even fishing is extremely troublesome. If you want to carry out on-site construction on the side of Cao Jun's camp, it is not impossible, but because the surrounding trees were basically cut down by Cao Jun when he built the camp, you now have to walk a long way to find the trees, and then start again. Shipping it back is just as troublesome...

There is also a simple way to attack, which is to take human lives!

There were many civilians captured by Jiangdong, and the lives of these people were not of much concern to the people of Jiangdong. Therefore, on the one hand, Jiangdong was busy building siege equipment, mainly things like rams, and on the other hand, it drove away many people. The civilians tried to drown this Cao Jun camp with a sea of ​​blood!

So when Jiang Dongbing started to attack, he directly entered the most tragic stage.

In front of Cao Jun's camp, hundreds of sword and shield men formed a shield wall. On the one hand, they provided the final frontline cover for the attacking soldiers and civilians. On the other hand, they also served as a supervisory team, ordering the captured civilians to move up. attack.

The first batch of civilians and a small number of Jiangdong soldiers basically died under the camp. Near the trench of the camp, even on the simple wooden bridge erected, there were still a few corpses, not to mention the wreckage at the bottom of the trench. They almost covered the entire bottom of the trench, and the wooden tips at the bottom of the trench Almost all of his head was dyed red, and half-solidified blood flowed down the slope.

Cao Ren's heavy armor was also stained with blood. He ran back and forth on the narrow wall, commanding his generals and soldiers to disintegrate Jiangdong's attacks time and time again.

As time goes by, no matter how brave Cao Jun is in fighting, there will be times when Cao Jun becomes tired. When he relaxes, another soldier from Jiangdong suddenly climbs up a simple ladder, and then rushes up the ladder without anyone showing up. Come, first extend the sword above your head and wave it wildly on the wall of the village without looking.

A soldier of Cao's army next to him roared, raised his saber and slashed at him. Jiangdong shrank his head, but the soldier of Cao's army couldn't close his sword in time. He slashed at the mouth of the wooden crenellation, half of the blade was sunk into the wood, and his strength was exhausted for a moment. After pulling it out twice but unable to pull it out, Jiang Dongbing saw an opportunity and jumped up from the ladder with a roar, and rushed towards Cao Jun. The two of them bumped into the wall of the village, pinching each other and rolling. .

Seeing that someone here had successfully climbed onto the wall, the Jiangdong soldiers under the wall immediately cheered. Immediately, the Jiangdong archers outside the wall also changed their directions, consciously blocking Cao's army on this section of the wall. The chaotic arrows surged in like locusts, and suddenly crackled like weeds that suddenly grew out of the village wall. While Cao Jun and Jiangdong soldiers were wrestling and rolling in one place, Cao Jun just happened to have the upper hand. He was pressing Jiang Dongbing and stretched out his hand to clasp the opponent's eyes. As a result, an arrow flew diagonally and pierced Cao Jun's neck. He immediately fell to the ground with a wailing sound.

The soldiers of Cao's army coming from both sides were suppressed by the rain of arrows. Under the stronghold wall, Pan Zhang keenly grasped the loose gap. He didn't even have time to find a shield to cover himself, so he just grabbed one casually. Well , it should be said that half a slightly stiff corpse was placed on the head, and it just resisted and entered the crenellation of the village wall. The tiger roared and advanced further!

When the Jiangdong soldiers around the camp saw it, they all cheered: "Pan Menghu!" Pan Menghu! 』

Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle from a distance, smiled slightly, nodded, and immediately ordered the army to move forward so that they could provide immediate support or directly attack Cao Jun's camp in one go.

Even Zhou Yu was a little dissatisfied with Sun Quan's vigorous promotion of these young generals, which continued to erode the authority of Zhou Yu and other veteran generals, but when faced with Pan Zhang's bravery, he also showed some appreciation.

Whether it is Zhou Tai or Pan Zhang, he is not afraid of death, charges forward, and can seize opportunities to open gaps at critical moments. He is already a very qualified frontline general.

Of course, strategizing...

On the wall of Cao Jun's stronghold, seeing more and more Jiangdong soldiers coming up, Han Hao quickly rushed out with the chaotic arrows. Before the people arrived, he sent the spear forward first, taking advantage of the opportunity to climb up. A Jiangdong soldier who was on the wall of the village didn't have a firm footing, so he shot in and then pushed the gun horizontally!

The flexible spear shaft bent like a bow, then suddenly straightened, and it rolled out with the corpses of Jiangdong soldiers, knocking down two or three Jiangdong soldiers. The spear swung back, and hit the target again. The Jiangdong soldier who rushed towards Han Hao suddenly felt as if he had hit a stone wall. Armor pieces were flying, and amidst the crackling sound, he didn't know how many of Jiang Dongbing's ribs were broken!

Pan Zhang's eyes darkened, then he pushed aside Jiang Dongbing beside him, and quickly slid in and approached Han Hao.

Pan Zhang was burly, with big arms and round waist, like a tiger, but when he attacked, he was like a poisonous snake. This contrasting fighting mode also made Han Hao stunned for a moment, and then Han Hao instantly realized that he had encountered a person. An extremely difficult opponent...

Seeing that Pan Zhang was approaching Han Hao's attack range, he first swung his body towards Han Hao's right hand, as if he was about to pounce to the right, but in the process of rushing forward, he twisted his waist and changed into Han Hao's right hand. On the backhand side, with his arms extended at the same time, the sword was like the big fangs of a poisonous snake, or like the claws of a tiger that was fished out diagonally, and it went straight to Han Hao's chest and abdomen!

If someone had a long shot and was caught on the backhand side, he would either awkwardly twist the spear to block, or he would have to retreat and reorganize the attack. However, Han Hao released the spear with his right hand, and then directly moved toward his waist. As soon as he fished it out, the next moment there was a flash of cold light, and the second hair came first and landed on Han Hao's chest!

"Fuck!" Throwing knives! 』

The cold hairs on Pan Zhang's neck stood up, but it was too late to put away the knife to block. He could only use the momentum to twist and dodge. He only heard a "dang" sound, and the flying knife pierced Pan Zhang's chest. It was just because Because the angle of incidence was too large, it could not penetrate Pan Zhang's armor. It only knocked out a stream of sparks, which flew diagonally into the air together with the pieces of armor, and then fell down with a trembling reluctance...

Pan Zhang also deformed his attack posture due to avoidance and collision, and naturally lost the threat to Han Hao. When Pan Zhang readjusted his center of gravity, he saw Han Hao's spear shake off three heads. Coming straight at you!

Pan Zhang didn't panic. He turned around and gave way, picked up a masterless sword and threw it back. Han Hao knocked away the thrown sword with his backhand, and then stared at each other for a moment with Pan Zhang. Just as he was about to start the second round of fighting, suddenly some whistling sounds passed over his head...

Pan Zhang, Han Hao, and even the soldiers behind them couldn't help but look up at this moment. They saw black shadows roaring above their heads. From inside the camp and over the wall, they turned out to be stone bullets one after another. , pointed directly at Zhou Yu's battle flag outside the camp!

It turned out that when Cao Hong saw that Zhou Yu's general flag had entered the attack range of the Thunderbolt Chariot, he directly ordered the Thunderbolt Chariot hidden in the camp to lift the cover and bombard Zhou Yu's battle flag directly!

Cao Jun's Thunderbolt Chariot, which cannot be seen directly and can only be adjusted by the observer in the watchtower, is of course not very accurate, but the sudden long-distance long-range attack caused sudden chaos near Zhou Yu's battle flag, and the commander of the Chinese Army was ordered to The battle flag is also swaying and is about to fall!

Suddenly, the soldiers in Jiangdong were in an uproar and their morale collapsed! Cao Jun cheered in unison, as if crazy, and even assembled in the camp, and they were about to counterattack in the next moment!

"Captain!" 』

Pan Zhang was shocked and screamed, and then he saw Han Hao rushing towards him again from the corner of his eye. However, at this moment, Pan Zhang had no intention of fighting. He picked up a corpse and pushed it towards Han Hao while twisting his own body. He crossed the wall and climbed down...

The remaining Jiangdong soldiers also chose to retreat temporarily due to the unknown situation of the Chinese army.

Zhou Yu suddenly encountered this kind of indiscriminate bombing. Although it was because the accuracy of Cao Jun's thunderbolt chariot was really average, or because Zhou Yu's luck was not too bad, he was not directly hit by the stone bullets. Then Zhou Yu also He quickly adjusted his queue, moved his position, and got out of the attack range of the Pili Chariot. However, in the process, the flag of the Chinese army wavered, causing the morale of the entire Jiangdong Army to drop. In desperation, Zhou Yu could only withdraw his troops temporarily and wait for the next day. Fight again...

……☆☆︵╰（‵□′）╯︵☆☆……

"Capture Wancheng!" 』

A hoarse howl erupted near the Wancheng gate, and then many blade-wielding men rushed out from among the refugees, heading straight for the Wancheng gate!

Zhang Lie's expression suddenly changed and he grabbed Pang Shanmin, "Your Majesty!" On top of the city, all the archers are under your command! Be sure to shoot these out-of-town gangsters! A certain person led people to clear out the city and close the city gates! Otherwise, Wancheng will not be protected! 』

There are spies outside the city mixed with the refugees, and there must be internal agents inside the city. In addition, there is still smoke and dust rising in the distance. If by the time the enemy army arrives, it is still impossible to calm down the inside and outside of Wancheng, pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate, then It's like directly exposing your weak abdomen to a ferocious beast!

Nowadays, there is also chaos in the city square, which means that the enemy forces in the city must have taken action!

Pang Shanmin nodded repeatedly, then directed the archers to change direction, and began to shoot at the enemy troops charging outside the city. However, in a hurry, and with the cover of some caravan vehicles, cattle and horses, there was chaos everywhere. The people ran away, so that the killing effect was not immediate.

There are three battlefields formed inside and outside Wancheng. One is the civil strife in the city square. Zhang Lie is leading people to suppress it, just like chasing rats, in order to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible; the other is the civil strife at the city gate. In the chaos everywhere, Pang Shanmin led archers to suppress it. Although the spies mixed among the refugees wanted to attack the city gate, it was not so easy under the angry arrows. They could only attack vehicles or dead cattle and horses. Behind the corpse, it stretched its head like a turtle waiting for an opportunity...

There is only the smoke and dust billowing from the distance, coming without any hindrance!

The suspension bridge outside Wancheng has been lowered. The Wancheng defenders who were originally near the city gate were either knocked down and fell into the moat at the beginning, or were killed by the refugee spies who came up. , coupled with the chaos of the caravan that left the city earlier, it was impossible to form an effective counterattack and resistance for a while.

In Wancheng, there were originally two to three thousand soldiers and two to three hundred cavalry. Basically, Nanyang was a relatively powerful military force, and the armor and equipment were naturally excellent, so Generally speaking, if there are not 20,000 to 30,000 people coming to besiege the city, there is no way to defeat Wancheng.

However, this time, it was obvious that Cao Jun used the refugees and even dispatched internal agents to cooperate with the cavalry raid, in order to capture Wancheng in the shortest possible time...

This tactic was originally used by the Xiliang soldiers. Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu both used this method of cavalry thrusting their faces. Later, the hussars also used it, and now it is Xia Houyuan's turn.

The dull sound of horse hoofs sounded like thunder, and even the shouting and killing sounds inside and outside the city became louder. Xia Houyuan led the cavalry towards Wancheng madly, staring at the gate of Wancheng with his eyes fixed on it, and the muscles on his face were not strong. I don’t know if it’s because of the wind resistance or excitement, but I’m jumping around wildly, as if I’m going to jump into the city in the next moment!

"Fight in!" Hurry up! ” Xia Houyuan roared.

For this raid, Xia Houyuan only wore light armor, even his cavalry, just to speed up some horses at this moment!

Affected by the cavalry of Cao Jun such as Xia Houyuan, the refugees near the city gate subconsciously began to avoid fear and ran in all directions. However, the refugees closer to the gate of Wancheng went to Wancheng regardless of the situation. The city gate is coming! In their consciousness, the city is the last safe place!

The spies who had been hiding behind the caravan vehicles and dead mules and horses from the city's arrows saw an opportunity and mingled with the crowd, shouting and killing towards the gate of Wancheng, and the entrance to the city gate. The Wancheng soldiers in the middle fought in one place, hindering the speed of closing the city gate, destroying the cables of the suspension bridge, trying to clear the road for Xiahou Yuan and seize the city gate!

On the suspension bridge, some overturned vehicles originally occupied part of the bridge deck. As a result, so many people suddenly rushed in. Even if they got on the bridge deck, they were often pushed into the river by the people rushing behind them. The city In the trench, there were sounds of splashing water, and then some people were pierced on the sharp stakes of the moat, and blood spurted out! Coupled with the bursts of fire from the archers above the city, the suspension bridge almost became a bridge of death. There were corpses everywhere, and the water in the moat under the bridge also turned blood red!

"Pull up, pull up!" ” Pangshan people shouted anxiously.

However, due to the destruction of the refugee spies and the heavy load-bearing capacity of the suspension bridge, although the Wancheng soldiers at the top of the city struggled to twist the suspension wheel, they were unable to pull it up immediately. After a moment of stalemate, it was too heavy. The hook nails of the suspension bridge were loose, and the chains were hit on the city wall amidst the flying wood chips!

"Close the city gate!" Pang Shanmin's eyes almost burst.

But the problem is that the corpses and debris at the city gate have blocked the closing position of the city gate and blocked the gap in the city gate. Wancheng's guards have to clean up these debris and corpses, and also struggle to hold up the city gate. To prevent people from outside from rushing in, we have to guard against the swords and guns stabbing through the gaps, and we even need to fight back to assassinate the enemy soldiers who rush into the door. In the rush, we cannot close all the city gates quickly. We can only remain in a stalemate...

Pang Shanmin turned around and urged the archers to attack the people on the suspension bridge in order to cut off the enemy's attack waves. However, there were some refugee spies with bows and arrows who mixed in with the crowd and fired cold arrows towards the city. Occasionally, Wancheng archers were shot If he hits the target, he will fall down the city with a scream!

The city gate cannot be pacified, the enemy troops outside the city are getting closer and closer! Pang Shanmin's heart was filled with annoyance and regret. If the city gate had not been opened before, perhaps there would not have been the current crisis!

In fact, some of what Pang Shanmin regrets is right, and some of it is wrong. Wancheng was originally prosperous in commerce, and there were many caravans coming and going around it. Controlling the people in the city was destined not to be easy from the beginning, so even if the people of Pangshan did not open the city gate, there would still be other changes to cooperate at the appointed time. Xia Houyuan, it just happened that Pang Shanmin made a more dangerous decision without careful consideration...

On top of the city, the archers were gradually losing their strength under high-speed continuous shooting. Pangshan people were still shouting angrily, but the overall frequency and intensity of shooting were inevitably declining!

Some archers even lost their original movement standards due to nervousness or in order to maximize speed, and were scratched by the bowstring, causing wounds, which further reduced the attack power to a dangerous critical line!

『 # ￥ @~! 』Amidst the noise, the leader of Huang's merchant team, which had overturned the carriage and horses on the street, shouted something to Pang Shanmin...

Because of their relationship with Fei Qian, Huang's caravan cooperated with Wancheng soldiers to deal with the chaotic situation at the city gate as soon as the turmoil began. At that moment, through the gap in the city gate, they saw Cao Jun coming menacingly from a distance. The cavalry was also frightened, but seemed to have thought of something. While shouting at the Pangshan people on the top of the city, he pointed at the vehicles in the Huang family's caravan on the street...

Pang Shanmin's head was buzzing. At first, he didn't notice the shouts from the leader of Huang's caravan. It was the guards beside Pang Shanmin who noticed the message and made Pang Shanmin turn around. He vaguely heard a few voices, Then he looked at the Huang family's caravan vehicles near the city gate...

"ride? flag? Or..." Pang Shanmin tried hard to distinguish, and then an idea flashed in his head, and he suddenly thought of something. He immediately lay on the female wall, shouted at the leader of Huang's caravan, and pointed with his finger as he was fighting frantically. city ​​gate.

Amidst the noise, it was difficult to hear clearly what the other party was saying, even if they were only separated by a wall. However, body language made up for this problem. With the consent of Pang Shanmin, the leader of the Huang family merchants caught him. I picked up a few of my own guards and hurriedly explained something...

In the city, Zhang Lie led his soldiers to kill, or temporarily suppress, the turmoil in the city's streets. After executing the sneaky gangsters who made trouble, he didn't even have time to clean up and check whether there were any remaining gangsters, so he rushed over! Zhang Lie's face and body were mingled with blood and water. He looked nervous and ran with all his strength!

Outside the city, Xia Houyuan had already approached the Wancheng Suspension Bridge. When he saw that the suspension bridge had not yet been pulled up and the city gate was not completely closed, he suddenly laughed ferociously and raised his sword high: "Men! Fight in! The first one to enter the city! Big reward! 』

Cao Jun's Qingqi shouted in unison, and the torrent was rushing towards the gate of Wancheng!
