The two horses collided fiercely, but Cao Jun's horse fell to the ground. The corners of the black armor knight's mouth rose up, and he encouraged the horse to trample the fallen knight hard!
The sound of broken bones did not even cause a ripple above the noisy battlefield.
"Ah!" Sergeant Cao screamed as he landed on the ground, hugging his horse's legs. The knight in black armor on the horse sneered and stabbed his long spear into his chest, ending his pain!
"ha!"
"kill!"
Cao Jun tried his best to fight against Xuan Jia's army, but the outcome was the same as the scene just now.
"General, I told you we can't fight!"
"Pfft!"
"ah!"
As soon as the deputy general finished speaking, he was stabbed through the chest by a Xuanjia soldier with a long spear!
"Wang He!" Niu Jin blocked the black armor knight's long spear, cried out the name of the deputy general sadly, and scanned the battlefield.
Cao's army was being trampled and slaughtered without exception! Suddenly, Niu Jin looked at Zhao Yun in silver armor.
If he could kill the enemy's general, he would be living up to General Cao's kindness.
"Ha!" Thinking this, Niu Jin rode towards it!
After getting close, Niu Jin directly attacked Zhao Yun with his sword from behind, "The thief will take his life!"
As for the sneak attack being too despicable, haha, no one on the battlefield will tell you that you are aboveboard and surviving is the only way to go.
"bite!"
Zhao Yun pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse jumped up with its front hooves and moved around on the spot with its hind legs!
He narrowly blocked Niu Jin's sword with his gun, "How dare you sneak attack me?"
Zhao Yun didn't even bother to ask his name, and waved his silver gun at Niu Jin crazily. He was almost attacked by this bastard just now!
If he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and had just had a premonition, he would be dead!
"Pfft!"
Niu Jin was no match for Zhao Yun. After resisting for a few times, he was stabbed in the throat by Zhao Yun's silver spear!
Zhao Yun took back the silver gun, shook off the blood on the gun head, and looked at Niu Jin coldly as he fell from the horse, "You are not overestimating your own capabilities!"
"Oh! Niu Jin, you idiot, you have damaged five thousand of my troops!" Cao Ren saw Niu Jin and others collide with each other at the head of the city. Then Cao Ren was crushed and Niu Jin was killed by the enemy general.
The massacre outside the city continued. Chen Dao led the cavalry and charged forward, continuing to harvest the lives of Cao Jun.
"General, should we go out of the city to rescue the remaining brothers?"
"Rescue is nothing! Can't you see the situation clearly? The enemy has that cavalry, so many of us will die as many as we go out!"
Cao Ren originally wanted to rely on Niu Jin and 5,000 cavalry to demoralize the enemy. After all, they marched in a hurry and came from a long distance. It might be effective if they were tired.
In history, Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling, which is what Cao Ren did. Niu Jin also really damaged the morale of Jiangdong Army.
Cao Ren even led his troops out of the city to rescue Niu Jin who was surrounded by Zhou Yu and returned to the city!
It was a pity that he met Pang Tong and the Xuanjia cavalry. Moreover, Niu Jin was so stubborn that he charged in the most conducive way for the Xuanjia cavalry to fight.
"Calm down the morale of the soldiers and be prepared. We have to defend the city!"
"promise."
This time, the enemy's morale was not affected, but our own soldiers watched helplessly as our own troops left the city and were massacred.
"Captain, the two generals Zhao Yun and Chen Dao have defeated Cao's army of five thousand cavalry!" The messenger came on horseback and reported to Pang Tong of the Chinese army.
Pang Tong smiled and said, "Okay, the two generals have lived up to my lord's high expectations!"
"Pass my order! Chen Dao and Zhao Yun are leading the cavalry and black armored cavalry in the north of the city!"
Huang Zhong, who was next to Pang Tong, asked in confusion, "Grand Governor, why do you want to send the cavalry to the north of the city?"
Generally, in a siege of a city, in order to prevent the enemies in the city from clinging to resistance, the siege is to give the people inside a chance to survive.
Pang Tong sneered, "I didn't want to let Cao Ren run away!"
This time when heading north, in addition to Zhao Yun's 3,500 black armor cavalry, Chen Dao also commanded 10,000 light cavalry. Pang Tong placed them all in the north of the city to prevent Cao Ren from escaping.
"Huang Zhong listens to the order and orders you to lead 20,000 troops and attack the north of the city!"
Even Huang Zhong was sent there, without giving Cao Ren a chance to survive!
"Huang Zu listened to the order and ordered you to lead 20,000 troops and attack the west of the city!"
"Xu Feng listened to the order and led 20,000 troops to attack the east of the city!"
"I will obey your orders!"
The three generals who were selected by Pang Tong accepted the order. Huang Zu asked with some confusion, "Grand Commander, we have come a long way. Do you want to set up camp first and let the soldiers rest for a day before attacking the city tomorrow?"
Xu Feng also said, "Yes, Grand Governor, there are still 50,000 new soldiers here. Is it too hasty to attack the city just after arriving today?"
Facing the two men's inquiries, Pang Tong said seriously, "If the city cannot be conquered as soon as possible and Cao Jun's reinforcements arrive, it will be a big disaster for the new soldiers."
"Moreover, although they are new recruits, they eat well, drink well, and train every day. They just haven't seen blood. I brought them here just to show them blood!"
"After you lead the troops, line up outside the city and let the soldiers rest where they are. After two hours, the whole army will attack!"
"No!" Pang Tong said, and the generals could no longer refute and rode their horses to mobilize their troops.
"General, the enemy troops have divided their forces." The general of Cao's army on the top of the city was a little surprised.
Cao Ren also wondered, "The enemy has come from afar and has neither set up camp to let the soldiers rest nor built siege equipment. Are they going to attack the city now?"
"Haha." After saying that, Cao Ren sneered, "Pang Tong is just in vain, but he is so arrogant! Then let him see the consequences of fighting with exhausted troops!"
"Catch the ladder! Assemble the catapult!" Pang Tong ordered again.
There were a hundred catapults, all of which were brought by Pang Tong to attack Wancheng! As for the ladder, it was a new ladder made by Ma Jun that could be spliced together like bamboo tubes!
"Take out the stone bullets in the army and pull them to the front of the formation!"
"promise!"
If there is one drawback to this kind of catapult, it is that the stone projectiles used for throwing must be polished first. Instead of being able to throw anything just like the previous catapults.
Pang Tong came this time with 5,000 stone bombs, 100 catapults, and 5,000 stone bombs. They were all used up in two hours. Therefore, he ordered the entire army to attack in two hours.
If the city wall couldn't be destroyed within two hours, he would have no choice but to let his soldiers fight to the death.
"One, two, three, push!"
"Gululu..."
The soldiers pushed the round stone bullets towards the formation, so that the height of the stone bullets was higher than the soldiers' knees.
Assembling the catapults was a bit troublesome, because they had only recently assembled a hundred catapults. Since the soldiers were unskilled, Pang Tong directly brought the craftsmen to the battlefield!
"General, what are they doing?"
"Is that long part like a ladder?"
"Were the stones launched using a catapult? Can a catapult launch such a big stone?"
"And why did they bring craftsmen here?"
Cao Ren was a little annoyed by the noise around him, "Shut up, no matter what the hell. Soldiers are coming to stop us, and water is coming to cover us. We are in the city, what are we afraid of?"
About two moments later, a hundred catapults were all installed in front of the formation.
"Grand Governor, the catapult has been installed, please give the order!"
Pang Tong looked at the city and smiled coldly, "Cao Ren, let me show you what I, Jing Chu, can do!"
"Let me go, don't worry about the stone bullets, just let me greet you all at the top of the city!"
"No! The Grand Governor has ordered the catapult to be launched!"
