Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty My Great Han Navy, Invincible!
As Cao Jun's navy soldiers poured into Wengcheng one after another, stepping on the ruins of the city wall, a large number of Xiangyang defenders were also forced by the supervisors to fight back despite the rain of arrows.
The soldiers in Wengcheng were so dense that the defenders on the wall didn't even need to aim, they just shot arrows, threw stones, and poured kerosene downwards as if desperate.
Many navy soldiers who had just entered Wengcheng were shot over on the ruins, and their blood spattered out, turning the ruins into a mottled color.
Although many people fell, more naval officers stepped on the corpses of the robes and then attacked the city. Then batch after batch, they launched an attack on the city wall one after another!
Lu Yan saw this scene in Wengcheng through the telescope, and it had to be said that he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But no matter how uncomfortable he felt, Lu Yan still insisted on the plan to attack the city. Along the way, the navy relied on technology such as strong ships and cannons to crush them and fight smoothly. Many people in the army even thought that they could rely on these two things.
Can dominate the world.
But no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, if the perseverance and determination of the soldiers are not tempered, a defeat may turn into a complete collapse.
This hidden danger should not be underestimated, so Lu Yan decided to use a rather difficult but not completely impossible siege to give this army a real training!
Only by experiencing life and death, and passing through blood and fire, can these soldiers complete their true transformation.
Whether it was the Beiwei Army, the Dragon Cavalry Army, the Tiefu Tu and the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, they all earned their reputation after fighting against the enemy time and time again and stepping over their corpses.
Thinking of this, Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said to the messenger beside him: "Blow the drum and order the army to attack the city wall quickly!"
At this time, Lu Yan looked so cold and iron-blooded, which was completely different from his usual gentle and amiable image.
Feeling the coercion coming from Lu Yan, the ordering soldiers did not dare to show any signs of neglect and immediately took the order and left.
Not long after, the sound of war drums became louder and louder in Cao's army's position.
Gan Ning and Xu Sheng heard the change in the sound of the war drums. They looked at each other and said in unison: "I'm going!"
Before Gan Ning could speak, Xu Sheng took the lead and said, "General Gan, when I first arrived in your army, I did not make any achievements, but I was favored by Lu Qiaoqi and took the position of commander of the navy. I feel really guilty."
Lifting the spear, Xu Sheng turned to look at the top of Wengcheng and continued: "Today's battle is a battle to rectify the name of our navy. Let me be the first to do my part for the Han Navy!"
Xu Sheng was stubborn and had a violent temper, but he seemed very respectful in front of Lu Yan, Gan Ning and others.
This is not only because of their strength, but also because their ideas are the same as mine. They are like-minded Taoists and close friends whom they recognize from the bottom of their hearts!
Xu Sheng's temper suited Gan Ning, and they had a good relationship on weekdays.
Gan Ning knew that Xu Sheng also wanted to take this opportunity to prove himself, so he said: "Okay! After capturing Xiangyang City, my navy colleagues and I will celebrate your victory together!"
"Thank you, General Gan!" Xu Sheng clasped his fists, laughed loudly, and shouted sternly: "Soldiers, follow me to seize the city wall and capture Xiangyang!"
"kill!!!"
Xu Sheng took the lead in the charge, and jumped onto the city wall with a few leaps and bounds using his hands and feet!
With the vanguard general as a role model, the already high morale of the navy suddenly became even higher.
Although Gan Ning felt sorry for the casualties of his soldiers, he still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go on! Until we attack the city!"
"Regardless of the cost of casualties!"
"Follow General Xu and charge!"
"Kill! Kill!"
"The Han Navy is invincible!"
"The Han Navy is invincible!"
Teams of navy soldiers were gathered together, and then rushed towards the Wengcheng of Xiangyang City.
Wenpin, Fu Tong and other generals also transferred garrison troops from other parts of Xiangyang City to this area and tried their best to block Cao Jun's naval attack.
But no matter how hard the Xiangyang defenders tried, there would always be desperate navy soldiers climbing up the city wall.
They look like crazy tigers, madly attacking any defenders who dare to come up to stop them, just to use their own flesh and blood to open a door to victory for the robes behind them!
Facing the naval forces who were frantically climbing up the city wall, the Xiangyang defenders gradually became frightened.
What kind of people are these! I'm afraid they are not evil ghosts crawling out of hell!!
Some people turned around and wanted to run, but as soon as they turned around and before they could take a step, the supervisory team behind them fired deadly arrows.
After being shot dead by several defenders who tried to escape, the other soldiers had no choice but to go back to fight.
At this moment, Cao's army and civilians delivered the arrows to the navy at the outer city wall.
After receiving the replenishment of arrows, the archers and crossbowmen all had red eyes, roared at the top of their lungs, and shot the crossbows and arrows in their hands at the Xiangyang defenders on the Wengcheng!
After Xu Sheng fought on the city wall, he stood his ground with his own bravery.
"Kill! Come with me and kill! Stand still!"
In just a dozen breaths, more than a dozen sailors climbed up behind him, and then he ordered them to follow them to expand the battle circle.
After opening a hole, more and more naval soldiers were able to climb up the city wall and form a formation.
Upon seeing this, Wenpin immediately led a group of elites personally to come here for reinforcements!
Xu Sheng was entangled by Wenpin, and the war situation fell into a stalemate again.
Upon seeing this, Gan Ning sent someone to speak to Su Fei, then he picked up his long sword and ran towards Xu Sheng's location.
Xu Sheng was very brave, but after a hard battle and being entangled by elites led by Wen Pin, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
He had suffered several injuries, large and small, and the bone was almost visible in the wound on his arm.
"Hold on!" Xu Sheng seemed unaware of the pain in his body. He still loudly encouraged the soldiers around him, "Hold on until more soldiers come up, and we will definitely win!"
Just when Xu Sheng was concentrating on boosting his morale, Wen Pin spotted an opening and stabbed Xu Sheng in the heart with a spear!
"General, be careful!!!"
Before Xu Sheng could recover, he felt a piece of warm blood splashing on his face.
When he took a closer look, he realized that it was the soldier who shouted, blocking the fatal shot with his body!
Before the soldier died, he still managed to comfort him with a smile: "General, we must capture Xiangyang! Let everyone in the world know that our Han Dynasty Navy is invincible!"
Xu Sheng held the soldiers who had completely lost their vitality and became limp and heavy, with tears in his eyes.
"Ah!!!!" He shouted in anger, picked up the spear on the ground and threw himself at Wenpin desperately!
When Wenpin saw this, he would not be stupid enough to fight with the furious Xu Sheng.
He retreated behind the elite soldiers, and then these soldiers overlapped to form a shield wall that was as high as one person!
Xu Sheng dodged the spear thrust viciously from the shield wall and shouted angrily:
"Come out here!"
Wenpin laughed disdainfully and said, "Only a devil can fight with you."
However, just when Wenpin was concentrating on staring at Xu Sheng who was fighting hard through the gap in the shield,
