Chapter 885

"No problem, Niu Sima has been working hard today. Let's go down and have a rest first."

Cao Ren also saw Niu Jin's bitter battle today. He was soaked in blood. Naturally, he was not easy to say anything. After a few words of comfort, he ordered Niu Jin to return to camp and rest.

"Berning, I was going to take Jiangling at the order of the prime minister. This Jiangling is the place where the grain and grass of the Xiliang army are transported. Once Jiangling is captured, the Xiliang army will be divided into two parts, namely, the northern part and the southern part, which is very beneficial to the whole war situation. "

Cao Ren said to man Chong, "it's a pity that the Jiangling guard general is unknown, but he is quite tough. I'm afraid that he can't take it down in three or five days. Can berning have a brilliant plan?"

Manchong frowned and pondered for a while. Suddenly, a fierce color flashed through his pupils: "general Zixiao, I have observed under the city just now. Although the enemy guards have some skills, they seldom go through battle. Our army not only has more troops than the enemy, but also has been through battle, and the sharpness is far better than that."

Cao Ren frowned as if he had realized something.

"What does berning mean?"

"Attack day and night!"

Man Chong said coldly: "the enemy troops are few and can't afford to consume. Our troops are more than four times the enemy's. We can fight a war of attrition here and take Jiangling completely!"

"However, the night battle is not good for our soldiers. I'm afraid there will be many casualties." Cao Ren frowned.

Man Chong sneered: "general Zixiao's words are wrong. Our soldiers are excellent and the enemy's soldiers are timid. If we fight at night, the enemy will be more unbearable than our army. There is no need to say much about the importance of Jiangling. Even if some soldiers are injured today, it is worth it."

Compared with five good generals and brothers XiahouDun, XiaHouYuan and caoren caohong, manchong's popularity in the Cao Wei camp was not high, but he was a real ruthless man.

In the early years, Cao Hong's servant committed a crime and was arrested by man Chong according to the law. When Cao Hong learned about this, he entrusted Cao Cao and wanted to get rid of it. When man Chong heard about this, he immediately beheaded the prisoner without saying a word. When Cao Cao learned about this, he was not angry but happy (probably because he used a five color stick to blame Jian Shuo's uncle).

Even the head of the boss's face is not given, full of pet's bullying can be seen.

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

"Well! He ordered the soldiers to make more torches and attack the city at night. In any case, they should take down Jiangling city as soon as possible. There should be no heavy trust from the prime minister. " Cao Ren bit his teeth and agreed to come down.

Man Chong nodded: "general, don't worry, I will arrange to take Jiangling city as soon as possible!"

...

"ouch..."

"pain? Bear with it. How can you get rid of the pain

"Meat for tonight? Great! It's worth the injury

"The captain was considerate of everyone's hard work in guarding the city. He specially slaughtered a few fat pigs for everyone to taste the fresh food!"

On the top of the city, some soldiers were dealing with the wounds. They were touched by other soldiers and could not help but take a breath of cold air. The dignitary bodyguards worked hard, so they killed a few pigs, and the large barrels of broth were brought up, and the fragrance spread everywhere. The soldiers who didn't eat the meal poured out their saliva greedily and could not wait to eat.

"Well, it's really fierce for Cao's army to attack the city today. Thanks to the commander's good command, otherwise the Jiangling city will not be able to survive."

Some of the soldiers were terrified to talk about today's siege. Most of them were Jingzhou soldiers, and they rarely fought with the enemy except Jiangxia soldiers. Therefore, they were not experienced enough in the battle and were in a hurry. Thanks to Wei Yan's good command, they were in a hurry.

A veteran sighed: "Alas... I don't know when the reinforcements will come. I don't know how many brothers have been killed and injured these days."

"At least three or five days? It is said that Zhang jaw's 40000 Xiliang army will be stationed in Xiangyang. If soon, they will arrive in three days. If they send out Xiliang cavalry, they will arrive in one or two days. "

With these words, the team was finally their turn. Several Jingzhou soldiers filled the broth with wooden bowls with a smile. There were meat pieces of different sizes floating in it, which smelled like salivation.

The Jingzhou soldiers who got the food did not care about anything else. They squatted on the head of the city and began to eat. One by one, they competed with the pigs they ate. In ancient times, there was no large-scale breeding industry like that in modern times. Therefore, the price of poultry was very expensive. Ordinary people could not eat meat for a month. At this moment, they were happy.

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

Dong Dong Dong Dong! Woo Hoo Hoo!

The sound of drums and trumpets came suddenly. Some young soldiers were stunned and looked out of the city.

Outside the city, groups of Cao soldiers filed out, each holding a torch. Countless torches vividly reflected the dark earth, forming a large Cao army square array.

"Cao army wants to attack the city? What's going on? Didn't they attack the city during the day? Didn't Cao's army rest? "

Several Jingzhou soldiers looked at each other in disbelief.

"Come on, tell the captain to go to the city!"

In fact, before they announced it, Wei Yan heard the sound of drums and trumpets coming from outside the city. He didn't take off his armor at all, so he went up to the city with full armor and frowned."Damn... These Cao soldiers are really not clean."

One of the soldiers rushed forward and said, "Captain, what should our army do?" His face was tense, and he was afraid of Cao Jun.

"What can I do? When soldiers come to block it, water comes and earth covers it! "

Wei Yan solemnly said: "order the soldiers to prepare for resistance! Order the reserve team to concentrate under the tower and support at any time after hearing the general's order. "

After that, Wei Yan strode to the top of the city. After seeing Wei Yan, the garrison on the head of the city showed less panic. It seemed that as long as Wei Yan was there, Jiangling city would not be conquered.

"Xiaowei, can we hold Jiangling?" A timid voice suddenly came from one side.

Wei Yan turned his head and saw a young Jingzhou soldier. His face was young, and there were some fine hairs on his lips. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

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

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

Cao's troops outside the city had already set up their troops and arrayed their troops. They surrounded all the gates of Jiangling city from east to west and from south to East.

"General Zixiao, give an order. As long as you take Jiangling, the Xiliang army in Jingnan will be like a turtle in a jar, which can be easily wiped out at one stroke." One side of the man Chong to Cao Rendao.

Cao Ren nodded and pulled out his sword.

"The whole army is attacking!"

"Kill!"

The earth shaking cry of killing swept out from the turbulent Cao army array.
