Chapter 883

Cao's army cut down trees outside the city to build siege equipment. The garrison in the city was mostly Jingxiang troops, while the elite soldiers in Xiliang were a few. So suddenly, seeing so many Cao troops outside the city, I was afraid.

"Don't be afraid. These enemy troops are nothing. As long as you follow my command, I will make sure that Jiangling is as strong as gold." Wei Yan said in a loud voice.

After that, Wei Yan issued orders in an orderly manner. After that, a group of soldiers rushed to the top of the city, armed with shields, bows and arrows, ready to resist the enemy. At the same time, a large number of materials for guarding the city were moved to the city.

In the city, thousands of civilians were recruited temporarily. Once the casualties of soldiers were too large, these simple trained civilians would appear on the top of the city to resist the enemy together.

Seeing the action above the city from afar, Cao Ren snorted coldly: "the enemy generals in this city also know how to defend the city, but in front of our 20000 troops, they are not rivals."

After a period of preparation, the Cao army outside the city has built a lot of ladder cars and siege vehicles, which surround all the three gates in the East and southwest of Jiangling city. The blue armor of Cao's army is arranged outside the three gates, just like the sea. Cao's soldiers are everywhere.

Cao Ren pulled his sword out of the scabbard and yelled in a loud voice: "if the whole army goes out to attack, the one who boarded the city first will be rewarded with ten gold, and the one who first boarded the broken city will be rewarded with 100 gold!"

The number of Cao Jun was already in the ascendant. At the moment, under the encouragement of Cao Ren, there must be brave men. Countless Cao troops rubbed their hands and their eyes flashed with greed.

"Kill!"

Countless Cao troops covered the ladder cars and siege vehicles, and approached the city gate. When the ladder cars and siege vehicles arrived at the bottom of the city, it was the time for them to start a total.

"Shoot!"

When Wei Yan saw the enemy attack, he immediately called out, and the archers on the head of the city started shooting at the Cao army one after another.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Numerous arrows were dense like rain, like a large net covering the city's head, which covered Cao's soldiers who attacked the city. These Cao troops were also experienced. Seeing the archers on the city's head shooting arrows, they raised their shields to resist the arrows flying from the city's head. Occasionally, some arrows shot through the gap between the shields and shot onto the skin and passed on A terrible cry.

"Archers line up, fight back!"

Seeing the arrows on the top of the city like rain, the archers of Cao army outside the city were naturally not willing to be lonely. They raised their bows and arrows and began to fight back at the garrison at the head of the city. The arrows of the two armies exchanged like rain, whizzing and raining. From time to time, the archers of the two armies were hit by arrows, and a bloody flower burst out from the wound, and his face was ferocious.

These chariots were made of hardwood and covered with a layer of ripe cowhide. Naturally, they could not be pierced by only a few arrows. In addition, Cao's archers fought back. Therefore, the chariots continued to advance steadily and finally reached the bottom of Jiangling city.

"Attack the city!"

Da! The ladder car was pushed under the head of the city, and slowly stretched out section by section, and finally reached the same height as the city wall.

First, the soldiers simplified their equipment. They held a steel knife in their mouth, tied their arms to the shield, and used both hands and feet. They climbed up in a ferocious face.

"Rolling wood and stone, smash it for me!"

Dong Dong Dong Dong!

The garrison laboriously lifted up huge rolling logs or stones, and then threw them down. Cao Bing, who was climbing up the ladder, suddenly felt a black shadow on his head. He looked up and was shocked.

"Ah

A huge stone fell from the sky, aimed at his face, and fell down on him. Cao Bing screamed and fell from the ladder. The two Cao soldiers under him were also implicated. They fell down from the top of the ladder with him and fell to the ground without moving.

On the ladder, Cao soldiers were hit by rolling wood and stone, and then fell down from the ladder. Fortunately, those who had climbed up suddenly fell from the sky and their bones were smashed to pieces.

"Throw firebrick, burn!"

On the top of the city, there are not only rolling wood and stone, but also firebrick and fireoil. The rolling wood and stone are used to deal with the soldiers who boarded the city first, while the firebrick and kerosene are used to deal with the crashing cars and ladder cars attacking the city.

As soon as the sparks on the torch touched the earth, it was just like Mars hitting the earth. The flames of the whole chariot were instantly ignited, and all the soldiers around were stained with Mars, and they cried out in panic.

"Fire, fire!"

"Damn it, how can it not be destroyed?"

When the fire oil was stained on the body and burned, it was not easy to put out the fire. These Cao soldiers howled loudly and threw themselves on the ground one by one.

The fire oil was sprinkled on the ladder. The flame burned the fire oil, and the flame rubbed along the fire oil and then burned up. Gradually, the whole ladder was wrapped in it. Cao Bing on the ladder suddenly screamed. He didn't want to be burned to death. He had to jump from the ladder, and the whole person hit the ground, which was beyond recognition."Hum, Cao Jun is nothing but that."

Wei yanao stands on the head of the city, pressing the hilt of his sword.

"It's not easy to be a good Jiangling city."

Cao Ren, who was outside the city, saw the defeat of the Cao army's attack on the city. He immediately frowned, but still waved, indicating that the following Cao troops would continue to press on.

We should know that Cao's troops are as many as 20000, and the number of ladder trucks and siege vehicles built by Cao army is not small. Although they are now slightly frustrated, they soon organized the second wave of offensive. Once again, thousands of Cao troops gathered around a considerable number of ladder trucks and siege vehicles to attack Jiangling city.

Although there are a lot of rolling wood and stone in the city, there are not many firebricks and fire oil in the city. Therefore, Wei Yan did not order people to throw down the fire oil this time, but only used rolling wood and stone to resist.

As time went on, the first batch of Cao soldiers first boarded the city and finally boarded the city, just like a beast showing its fangs.

"Kill!"

The first group of Cao's soldiers rushed forward with shouts. Wei Yan immediately ordered: "the archers should step back, and the spears and swords should move forward."

The archer's armour is thin, so it's not suitable for fighting. He should step back immediately, while the archer and Spearman are combined.

The shield hand is in front of the shield, and the Spearman is forward to stab.

"Kill!"

Pooh Hoo Hoo! A whole row of spears pierced forward, and the sound of weapons entering the flesh came. The soldiers of Cao army who had first boarded were immediately penetrated by the sharp spears and screamed.
