While Wenpin was concentrating on dealing with Xu Sheng, he suddenly heard a pleasant ringtone coming from behind him.
He was puzzled: How could a ringtone appear on a battlefield filled with shouts of death, curses, clashes of metal and screams? And why was the ringtone so clear?
Wenpin was not given time to think, as a commotion started behind him.
Gan Ning kept silent, did not say any nonsense, and did not announce his name first like others.
He has one person and one knife,
The bells on his body jingled as he moved,
One knife kills a defender, and the movements are smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness!
"Poof!"
"Crack!"
"Wow!"
Where Gan Ning passed by, the Xiangyang garrison collapsed.
Wenpin immediately realized that Gan Ning's force was superior to his own.
And he quickly recalled the rumors about Jin Sail's thieves who were all obsessed with Jin Ling, and then guessed the Cao Army general who was rushing towards him quickly, "Gan Ning! Gan Xingba!"
Although Gan Ning is not as famous as Zhao Yun or Tai Shi Ci, who have been famous for a long time, anyone who knows something about Cao's generals and past battles must have heard of Gan Ning's deeds.
Eight hundred cavalry defeated Yuan's camp and burned Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of stones of food and grass. The wolf cavalry often acted as a vanguard general, killing Yuan Shao and Wuhuan's cavalry in fear.
Wenpin had no confidence that he would be able to defeat such a superb general who was as brave as Taishi Ci and others.
But there was a crazy Xu Sheng behind him, and Wenpin suddenly found himself in a dilemma.
When Xu Sheng stormed the large shield formation in front of Wenpin, more and more soldiers gathered behind him.
Although Xu Sheng was in a state of rage, he did not completely lose his mind.
Because of Gan Ning's attack, the large shield formation was slightly stagnant and panicked for a moment, and this moment was captured by Xu Sheng extremely keenly.
Although he didn't know what happened after the shield formation, Xu Sheng knew that the opportunity must not be lost again.
"Brothers, follow me!!!"
Xu Sheng took the lead and managed to get close to the shield array at the cost of a small injury. Then he firmly grabbed the spear protruding from the gap in the shield array. With a sudden force, he actually pulled out the soldier holding the spear alive.
come out!
The soldiers holding spears were caught off guard and pulled out of the large shield formation by Xu Sheng, thus disrupting the formation of the shield formation and causing a gap in the formation.
Naturally, Xu Sheng could not let the opportunity he had worked so hard to obtain slip away, so he immediately turned over and rolled forward, allowing himself to rush in before the shield formation closed!
After Xu Sheng entered the large shield formation, he was like a hungry wolf entering the flock of sheep.
With screams and a "crash!!" sound as a large shield collided and fell to the ground, Wenpin's shield formation was broken!
"kill!!!"
Xu Sheng broke the shield formation, and the navy behind him surged up like a tide, quickly swamping this group of elite shield soldiers.
Wenpin lost his protection behind him and was attacked from both sides. Knowing that he was in extreme danger, he immediately ran towards the inner wall of the city wall, hoping to jump off the city wall to escape Gan Ning and Xu Sheng's pursuit.
Gan Ning and Xu Sheng were still more than ten steps away from Wenpin.
Seeing Wenpin rushing towards the city wall, they wanted to stop him, but they were too late.
Xu Sheng, who chased him to the wall, saw Wenpin jumping off the city wall, and he jumped off without even thinking.
But when he came to the wall and was about to turn over and jump off, Gan Ning suddenly rushed up and grabbed him tightly.
"General Gan!" Xu Sheng's eyes were red with murderous intent.
Coupled with the fact that he was covered in blood and had no less than ten wounds, large and small, Gan Ning could not help but admire him from the bottom of his heart: "What a man!"
"Sir's vision is indeed extraordinary. This Xu Sheng is really worthy of your respect for him!"
After two thoughts flashed through Gan Ning's mind, he persuaded Xu Sheng: "Our mission is to open more gaps so that more brothers can stand firm and attack Xiangyang City. As for the enemy
General, let him go first."
Although Xu Sheng was very reluctant, he knew that Gan Ning's decision was the right one.
So, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll listen to you, General Gan!"
Gan Ning nodded and said, "You go down and I go up, creating more space for the brothers!"
"The last general takes command!"
Xu Sheng picked up his spear and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, follow me!"
Gan Ning looked at Xu Sheng's strong figure, smiled slightly, and shouted: "Grandma's! Come on for me! If we can't capture Xiangyang today, I won't even think of raising our heads when walking in the future!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Not only Xu Sheng, but Gan Ning was also close to going berserk at this time.
After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of friendly troops watching outside!
Although the casualties of various units of the Navy were not small, groups of people who had pressed forward before were driven back group after group.
But if they cannot capture Xiangyang despite such an advantage, their navy will no longer be known as invincible. I am afraid that from now on they will never be able to raise their heads in front of friendly forces.
Siege battles have always been known for their brutality. In just half a day, Cao Jun's navy had already suffered three to four thousand casualties at this gap.
However, from a results-oriented perspective, although the progress of the offensive war is not fast, it is still firmly expanding its advantage.
If we look at the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be able to capture Xiangyang after dark.
But things often don’t develop according to people’s wishes.
The battle on the city wall made the Xiangyang defenders feel increasingly difficult.
Pang Tong also seemed to have fallen into madness, and the supervisors who supervised the defenders' operations also went crazy, so the defenders seemed to have gone crazy too.
Pang Tong seemed to realize that Cao Jun would only let this navy participate in the battle, so he risked his life and even transferred one-third of the defenders on the other three walls just to prevent Cao Jun from entering the city!
One group was killed, and then another group was sent from the city.
There are too many people and weapons cannot be used? Then use your body and hands to squeeze Cao Jun out, and you will stop Cao Jun from entering the city even if you die!
Some of the defenders looked at the wall like a meat grinder and refused to work hard. Even though a few were cut down by the supervisors, they were forced to start fighting Cao's army again on the wall of Wengcheng.
Although Gan Ning and Xu Sheng had two sharp knives to clear the way, there were too many defenders on the city wall and they were constantly coming.
Seeing that if the fight continues like this, the casualties will be too great.
Su Fei, who was commanding on the outer city wall, finally ordered the civilians to carry the artillery to the outer city wall!
"Xing Ba, Wen Xiang, please avoid!"
Su Fei ordered his men to shout loudly, and then ordered the artillerymen to fire directly at Xiangyang City!
The cannon directly attacks the inner city. This is an indiscriminate attack on the city!
Such behavior goes against Cao Jun's original intention of not harming the people. Even if he takes Xiangyang, he may still be held accountable in the end.
But Su Fei couldn't care anymore. After he ordered his soldiers to shout three times, he immediately ordered: "Fire into the city!"
"fire!!!"
"boom!!"
One hundred and dozens of cannons that were moved to the city wall roared loudly.
Along with the fire, the shells slammed into the houses and government buildings in the city.
While it brought a large number of casualties to the city, it also finally triggered panic among the people and soldiers in the city!
