Chapter 438: Lonely City(1/2)

Under the attention of the general Guan Yu and others.

Guan Ping, who was in charge of the immediate command in the center, was now directing all the troops to attack the gap created continuously.

The county guards were already in panic because of the defeat of Cao Ren's elite troops.

Now the combat power of the Jingzhou army is still so strong.

Easily tear apart the city's defense.

Countless Jingzhou soldiers came up from here to kill them.

Then it swept the whole city!

The next moment, holding a round shield in one hand and a ring-headed sword in the other, they formed a protective formation and advanced slowly toward the convoy, arriving at the gate of Bianxian City.

The soldiers who were charging the siege truck quickly controlled the siege truck and collided with it.

"Bash, slam..."

Periods of rhythmic clashing sounds resounded throughout the surroundings.

This sounds like the sound of nature to everyone in the Jingzhou Army.

I saw a long section of thick log protruding from the ram car, cut into a barrel-like center of a circle, and hit the city gate heavily.

After being hit multiple times, the guards standing in front of the city wall seemed to be spinning around, and the city seemed to be shaking.

Originally, the defenders were in a panic as various units of the Jingzhou Army attacked the city one after another and were gradually unable to resist.

Nowadays, there is quite a feeling of "when the house leaks, it rains all night".

As the city gate was hit again, the county defenders finally lost control completely.

"ah,"

"Quickly retreat, brothers..."

In an instant, many soldiers were shouting loudly, unwilling to make fearless sacrifices.

This suddenly made the soldiers' morale become more and more relaxed.

More and more soldiers who were fighting bloody battles began to give up resistance, either laying down their weapons and surrendering on the spot, or fleeing into the city.

"Cao Ren is so stupid. He took the initiative and defeated the battle. He ran away first, but asked us to be his scapegoat."

"I don't want to serve you anymore!"



The compilation of the county town was also a mess in a short time.

Various curses continued to be heard.

This can be regarded as a normal reaction of the county guards' psychological defenses reaching their limit and leading to collapse.

Their morale before the war was already greatly affected by the frontal defeat of their main force.

Now it was swept by the Jingzhou Army with great momentum and strong combat power in a short period of time.

How can one not feel some resentment?

Previously, the reason why they had not deserted was because they considered the lives of their wives, children, and family who were at the rear.

After all, Cao Cao established strict military discipline in the army.

If there are soldiers on the front line who dare to surrender to the enemy or want to desert, all the young and old soldiers in the rear will implement the continuous sitting method.

All the relatives in the family were beheaded in public display, while the female relatives were betrothed to others.

This law cannot be said to be unsevere.

But it is also very effective.

Because of the implementation of this military discipline, the military departments naturally did not dare to challenge the bottom line.

Every time before a battle, you can only move forward bravely and have the fighting spirit to never retreat without the command.

However, although the military discipline of punishment was very harsh, Cao Cao, as a seasoned politician, was very skillful in his tactics.

His rewards and punishments are clear and not stingy.

Many soldiers under his command were promoted.

It is stipulated in the military that if one achieves military merit, he should also be awarded an official title according to his merit.

The so-called act of beating a stick and giving away a sweet date.

It was also because Cao Jun's troops were able to operate smoothly without any simple complaints.

But the current situation in the county is completely out of control.

The guards have long lost their will to fight!

Now they don't even care about the lives of their wives, children, children and their families at the rear.

The top priority is how to ensure that one's own life is saved.

As the civil war situation in the county fell into complete chaos.

The rhythmic offensive of the siege engines quickly opened the city gate without any interference.

The next second, Guan Ping, who was conducting the battle, was the first to watch this scene. His face showed a strong serious look. He didn't say a word, but waved his big hand high.

Then he saw the command flags in the formation swaying again.

All the armies in Jingzhou formed a formation one after another and attacked.

In the military formation, there was a roar like a tide at this moment.

It seemed as if there was a sound that resounded through the sky all around the county.

Endless shouts...

The fierce aura seems to be mixed in the air,

At this moment, the various units of the Jingzhou Army were overwhelmingly powerful and entered the city.

The whole journey was like a torrent of destruction!

It didn't take quite a while.

A battle flag with the word "Guan" in the name of Guan Yu was hung on the tall building of the county town.

This is the only line of defense leading to Xiangyang by land, and it has been cleared with ease.

At this moment, the entire Jingzhou Army was filled with joy.

The army seemed to be filled with a strong atmosphere of joy.

This night.

The commander-in-chief Guan Yu also considered that since his troops marched north, his troops had experienced a lot of fierce fighting, so he advanced the battle line step by step to this point.

Today, all the officers and men under his command are exhausted physically and mentally.

He himself is close to ordinary soldiers in the army.

Now that Bianxian County had been captured, Guan Yu also carefully arranged the patrol troops to take charge of the defense of the northern area that night to prevent Cao's army from taking advantage of the situation.

He then issued a military order, ordering each tribe to host a celebration banquet in the camp to reward the meritorious soldiers.

On the one hand, it is to relieve the pressure of fighting bravely in recent days.

On the other hand, it was also to give the troops a short rest so that they could prepare for the next tough battle in Xiangfan.

Xiangyang and Fancheng are large cities located on the south and north banks of Mian River respectively.

It is also an important water and land transportation route connecting Huainan, Xudu, Wan, and Luo.

Guan Yu firmly believed that since Xiangfan was an important town on Cao's side, even if Cao Ren was defeated in the wild battle, he would not give up easily.

They will definitely try their best to set up defense lines and defend the city.

Maybe even if you risk your life, you won’t hesitate!

Then it will definitely be a hard fight.

It is very necessary for the sergeants under your command to rest and recuperate their physical strength.

Guan Yu thought after giving the order.

That night, he personally patrolled every barracks in the fort with his generals, going to have cordial exchanges with the soldiers.

Everyone saw the general's greetings in unison, and they couldn't help feeling their faces light up.

They all shouted unconsciously.

The joy rose unconsciously.

Originally, Guan Yu's temperament was to be proud of his superiors and not to humiliate his subordinates.

Although in daily military management, he strictly disciplined military law.

But all the soldiers knew very well that their generals were usually very gentle and loved them very much, and they often got along well with each other.
