Chapter 886

The night was dark, but Cao's army put tens of thousands of torches outside the city, and countless torches gathered in one place to reflect each other, turning the night into day, while nearly 20000 Cao troops launched a fierce attack on Jiangling city under the cover of torches.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The archers of Cao army under the city head launched the first attack. Tens of thousands of arrows attacked the city head from the bottom to the top. As a result, there was almost no place to stand on the city head. As if it were raining, many cracks in the wall tiles were filled with arrows.

And the defenders on the top of the city were not willing to be outdone. The swordsmen and shield men went forward to spend large shields and set up a line to resist the arrows from the enemy. The archers behind them were bows and arrows, pouring out tens of thousands of arrows.

From time to time, they were shot by the two arrow troops in the city.

Human life has never been so fragile as at this moment. The dense arrows like rain fall on the earth, like the scythe of death crossing the sky, harvesting life like wheat. Once a person falls down, it is difficult to get up again.

However, these Cao troops were fierce and fearless, and rushed forward with their teeth clenched. In addition to standing at the back, there was a rule in the Cao army.

Because Cao's army adopted the system of soldiers from generation to generation, their parents, wives and children were all in the rear. If they dared to surrender or escape, the families in the rear would be severely tortured. Therefore, these Cao soldiers could only fight forward with their teeth, because they had no other choice.

Numerous Cao soldiers broke through the dense and rainy blockade line and rushed under the city's head with chariots. Then they began to attack Jiangling with attached chariots.

Bang!

The huge wood on the crash was like a giant soldier of gods. The two wooden city gates rumbled and trembled, but they could hold on for a moment.

"First of all, come forward!"

On one side of the city wall, dozens of ladders were attached to it. Hundreds of soldiers and soldiers of Cao climbed on the ladder and launched a fierce attack on Jiangling city.

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

In the night, although the torch was lit, it was still a little unclear. The guards on the top of the city had to aim at the crowded places and throw them away. The scream soon afterwards proved that these rolling stones were not in vain.

Firebricks and kerosene were also thrown down, and a few feet of fire came out. Cao soldiers were burning one by one, and suddenly turned into a fireman, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night.

Cao Ren pressed the hilt of his sword, but he didn't say a word. His long-term war career had made him a hardened heart. In fact, he was bloody, and the battlefield was full of broken arms and legs. It was no different from the hell of Shura. Therefore, many veterans suffered from serious psychological problems after the war.

Must insist! As long as we can conquer Jiangling City, all the sacrifice is worth it, Cao Ren said to himself.

"Dad, let me also lead a team of men and horses to attack the city?"

A young general stood aside and bowed his hand to Cao Ren. He looked like Cao Ren six or seven times like Cao Ren. It was Cao Tai, the son of Cao Ren.

"You? Can it be done? "

Cao Ren stares at Cao Tai and frowns. Although Cao Tai is his own son, he doesn't have any special generals. What if there is a mistake?

Cao Tai said in a loud voice: "Dad, don't be generous with one another. Thousands of officers and men of Cao army have children and women. Can I do nothing as the son of Zhenbei general?"

"Cao Tai asked the general's permission to attack the city."

Seeing Cao Tai's appearance, Cao Ren couldn't help but get a headache on his face: "OK, but you take this general's 300 songs to protect yourself, understand?"

"Thank you, general."

Cao Tai agreed and waved: "follow me!"

Hundreds of Cao Ren's plays immediately followed Cao Tai. They followed Cao Ren for a long time. They were not only experienced, but also well-equipped. They were the elite of Cao's army. With them to cover Cao Tai, Cao Ren could not help but feel relieved.

Cao Tai led hundreds of songs to kill under the head of the city. Without saying a word, he began to climb on the ladder and launched an attack upward.

On the top of the city, a Jingzhou soldier laboriously lifted a piece of stone, aimed at the ladder and threw it down.

Whoosh!

"Ah?" When Cao Ren saw the stone from afar, he could not help but open his mouth.

Fortunately, Cao Tai jumped directly from the ladder. Instead of hitting him, he hit the head of the Cao soldier under him, which made his brain burst.

Cao Tai was not too high from the ground, so he jumped down from the ladder and only rolled on the ground for several times. He was rough and fleshy, but he was not hurt.

Cao Tai wiped a handful of dust on his body, turned over again and rushed to the top of the ladder, persevering in climbing.Seeing that Cao Tai had escaped a robbery, Cao Ren could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to pay attention to the whole situation.

Cao army, after all, was numerous and powerful. He rushed to the head of the city against the arrows of the garrison at the head of the city.

"Kill!"

The Cao soldiers who braved the arrow rain to mount the city head were naturally filled with resentment. Therefore, they appeared on the top of the city and immediately waved their weapons to fight with the garrison on the city head.

Cao's Army wanted to capture Jiangling, but Jingzhou soldiers naturally did not want to. Therefore, the two armies fought bitterly. For a moment, blood and flesh were flying everywhere. From time to time, two soldiers fell to the ground with convulsions.

"Hey

Cao Tai grabs at the head of the city and kicks his legs hard. The whole person appears on the top of the city, and his face is excited.

"Kill!"

After all, Cao Tai is a general. Although he is mediocre, he has followed Cao Ren since he was born, learning the art of war. He has practiced martial arts for nearly 20 years. Naturally, he is not able to resist.

In front of Cao Tai, the Jingzhou soldier saw a knife flash out in front of him. He was stunned. At the next moment, he felt a pain all over his body and could not help covering his chest.

I saw a long knife mark appeared on his chest, blood gushed out from the wound, and the palm couldn't cover it.

"Get out of here

Cao Tai's long sword slashed left and right, and immediately cut down five or six Jingzhou soldiers. Meanwhile, Cao Ren's tribe escorted him to protect his rear and flanks. Therefore, Cao Tai showed great bravery above the head of the city.
