The falling arrows shrouded the head of Wancheng city. The Nanyang army in the city had to crouch behind the women's wall, and stood up their shields to prevent the Jingzhou army's arrows from falling on their heads.
Cai Mao stood on the deck of the battleship and stroked his beard with pride. Zhang Yun, on the other side, complimented him: "commander CAI has a good command. After the enemy troops of Jingzhou Navy, which were suppressed by the arrow rain, it seems that winning the Nanyang is a matter of a day and a night."
Cai Mao said triumphantly, "this is nature. Nanyang army has no navy. Jingzhou navy has been in the Yangtze River and Han Dynasty for decades. It will be sooner or later for us to win Nanyang."
"Wait until the arrow rain stops, order Wen pin to lead the team to rush immediately." Cai Mao said coldly, "you can't take the money of the governor but don't do anything. Hum!"
Zhang Yun laughed and did not speak.
Thousands of arrow ships were slowly gathered on the city bank, just like a pair of arrows from the city of Jingzhou.
As the Jingzhou army approached gradually, the rain of arrows pouring down from the Navy warships gradually became sparse, and the Jingzhou soldiers immediately launched an attack on Wancheng.
"Go to the city quickly and suppress the city head as soon as possible!"
Wen pin shouts, then he carries the green dragon halberd on his back, grabs the ladder railing with both hands, and climbs up with both hands and feet.
And the Nanyang army behind the women's wall was not slow. Zhang jaw realized that the sound of arrow rain in his ear was slowly falling down, and he was the first to raise his head.
"Archer, get ready! Three rounds of shooting after the Jingzhou army came up! "
"After the archers shoot, the first team goes forward to fight, and must drive the Jingzhou army down from the city. Li Yan leads his own team, understand?"
"No!"
Nanyang soldiers had been fighting for a long time. When they heard the order of Zhang jaw, they were ready for battle. They were staring at the city head. They could see their hands holding the bricks of the city head. Then they put their heads forward one by one. The Jingzhou army who had boarded first rushed up immediately, holding short soldiers' shields in their hands.
The Jingzhou army, which had just broken Yuyang City, was naturally in high morale. One by one, they were eager to attack Wancheng and make contributions. They just rushed forward with both legs. However, without saying a word, the Jingzhou army's first gun failed to fire even if half of the soldiers fell to the ground.
Although the first row of Jingzhou soldiers was a little surprised, they were not frightened by the enemy. What's more, the key point is that thousands of Jingzhou soldiers came up from the ladder, so it's impossible for the wounded Jingzhou soldiers to retreat even if they want to.
After three rounds of shooting, the bodies of Jingzhou soldiers had fallen to death on the top of the city, while the Nanyang soldiers squatting behind the women's wall suddenly stood up and rushed forward.
"Li Zhengfang, it's you again!"
Seeing Li Yan, Wen pin immediately turned red. Without saying a word, he jumped forward. The green dragon halberd in his hand fell from the top to the bottom and split it in the air, hoping to kill Li Yan.
When!
Li Yan smiles: "what's the matter, brother Zhongye? Is there something wrong with Li
"Hum! You are treacherous and dare to alienate our Jingzhou army. I will personally cut off your head as a dog thief and present it to governor Cai, so that he and the whole Jingzhou army will know the loyalty of this general. " Wen pin is cold.
"Ha ha ha ha, you don't have to worry about employing people Li Yan laughed: "since Cai Mao has appointed brother Zhongye, he naturally needs to trust him. If he suspects him, he wants you to lead the army first. Isn't it in vain to ask you to work for him?"
"Such a commander, is it worth Zhongye's service?" Li Yan was serious.
Wen pin was slightly stunned, but soon he firmly believed in it. His eyes flashed: "Li Yan, don't you want to bewitch this general. Is wenpin an unfaithful person?"
"No harm, general Wen can go back and think about it slowly. Our Nanyang army will always welcome general Wen!"
Wen pin just snorted, no longer answering, but rushed forward with a green dragon halberd to fight with Li Yan. Although the Jingzhou army had Navy warships to suppress, Wancheng was a strong city, with a large and thick wall, more than 10000 soldiers in the city, and an experienced Zhang jaw personally commanded it. Therefore, the two armies above the wall fell into a fierce battle, and the battle situation was deadlocked.
At this time, on the straight road far away from Wancheng, a burst of smoke and dust rushed. Thousands of iron horses galloped on the straight road, rolling up the yellow smoke, as if thousands of drumsticks hit the ground, making an aggressive sound.
And in this iron horse, there is a pang character general flag. Under the flag, there is a white horse surrounded by thousands of troops. On the back of the horse, a valiant general looks firm and resolute. Although it is dusty, it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit of his whole body.
"General Pang! Now the Jingzhou army is besieging Wancheng. Do we want to go to the rescue? " A sentinel in the distance pulled his horse back. When he saw a gap in the cavalry formation, he immediately rushed in and reported to pound.
"No need." Pound shook his head: "in the fierce battle, our army is cavalry. How can we save Wancheng? What's more, Jingzhou army has Navy warships. Once we get on the ship, how can we do it? "With that, pound whipped his whip and made a noise in the air.
"The whole army will march south for ten miles. Listen to my orders!"
The five thousand horsemen set off again, galloping all the way south for ten miles before they stood still. Then pound ordered, "lay down the stakes and set up the iron ropes across the river!"
More than half of the five thousand steeds dismounted one after another, then ran to the surrounding woods, took out a hatchet, aimed at the trees of moderate length and thickness, chopped them down and chopped them into piles.
Some of the soldiers crossed the river and dug out big holes in the ground with axes and axes on both sides of the Han River. After the excavation of the cave, the soldier should insert the wooden pile made by cutting into the hole.
"On the iron cord!"
Although most of Xiliang iron horses are from the north, a few of them are good at swimming. Only a few dozen good swimmers have pulled out black iron chains from their bags. Now they have wrapped them in a few circles. After nailing them with wooden wedges, they wrap the chains around themselves. Then they jump into the water and swim to the other side of the river On the stake on the other side of the river.
After all the preparations were ready, only a dozen or so iron chains of more than ten feet long were floating on the surface of the water, blocking both sides of the Han River. If Jingzhou army's Navy warships went down the river, they would naturally be stopped by the iron rope across the river.
