Under the rounds of arrows, they did not flinch, but became more and more brave.
"Don't back down, charge forward. Once the city is defeated, the general will definitely not treat us badly. If we back down, the army will be defeated, and we will be on the run." A military leader roared to boost morale.
"Kill." The soldiers became energetic, roared in unison, and rushed towards Fancheng with an even fiercer momentum.
Under the rounds of arrows, none of the soldiers flinched and approached the moat carrying the ladder.[
As an important city in the front, Fancheng is close to the water source. It has a very wide moat. However, like Runan City, there is no time to fill this river.
When the soldiers approached the moat, they quickly used the ladder as a bridge and lowered it on the moat. Then they stepped on the ladder and quickly crossed the moat.
When a small half of the army passed the moat, some soldiers began to carry ladders and climb up against the city wall.
Bows and arrows are medium and long-range weapons, and they are first-rate in terms of shooting. However, when defending a city and the enemy climbs the city wall, the effect is far less effective than rolling stones, logs, boiling oil, etc. to defend the city more solidly.
A stone or a log was smashed down, and the brains were juxtaposed, and blood flew everywhere. A pot of oil and water was poured down, and countless soldiers fell to the ground and howled. Regardless of the lethality, the scene was intimidating.
But it is a pity that there is nothing like that in Fancheng currently, because no one expected that someone would risk attacking Fancheng.
The master of Fancheng is Liu Biao, the lord of Jingchu, a great prince with more than 100,000 soldiers.
Such arrogance and self-confidence created the results at this moment.
Seeing Zhao Yun's soldiers climbing up the city wall one after another, the military prince could only order to kill them slowly with bows and arrows, and watched helplessly as one soldier after another climbed up the city wall.
"Have the general's reinforcements not arrived yet?" The military lord looked anxious, grabbing a soldier by the collar and yelling.
"Sir, it takes time to get from the city gate to the center of the city, and it takes time to mobilize the troops. The enemy's offensive is so fierce that it doesn't give us any time. I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
The soldier also looked frightened and said.
Not only the soldiers, but also some of the soldiers around them looked frightened and at a loss. Jingzhou has been at peace for too long, and the soldiers have been unable to adapt to the troubled times.
"Liu Jingzhou is a powerful leader. Xiangyang is only separated by a river. The reinforcements can reach it in half a day. How can Fan City be left to the bandits who appear from nowhere to defend the city?"
Seeing this, the military lord let go of his soldiers, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and shouted.
"Defend the city."
Seeing how determined the military lord was, the soldiers calmed down involuntarily and shouted one after another.
Although Liu Biao was not well equipped, he managed Jingzhou and made it prosperous. He was quite popular among the people. These soldiers were all from Jingzhou, so they naturally formed a cohesive force.
"General, that's all I can do. Please send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. If Fancheng is lost, the situation in Xiangyang will be much more dangerous." The military marquis shouted in his heart.[
Xiangfan, Xiangfan. After losing Fancheng, as long as we have a certain number of troops, we can attack Xiangyang. This military prince was extremely frightened.
The military leader expected the city's garrison to send troops quickly, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Zhao Yun's army arrived at Fancheng and began to attack Fancheng without rest. This happened suddenly, like a divine soldier and a heavenly general.
Before that, there was still singing and dancing in the prefect's mansion.
