Chapter 882 (2/2)

”Directly from the Xiliang army, cut off the grain road?”

Cao Cao pondered over the words of the dramatists, and suddenly his eyes lit up: ”among the Xiliang army, isn't that Jiangling?”

...

Jiangling and Xiangyang are in the south of Xiangyang. Jiangling is the important town next to Xiangyang in the southern county, but now it has fallen into the guard of Xiliang army.

Jiangling is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south. As an important town in the north and south of Jingjing, Jiangling has always been the transportation place of military grain and utensils. In the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei led the people to the south. Cao Cao had long heard that Liu Bei had accumulated a large number of grain, grass and utensils in Jiangling. Therefore, he sent General Cao chun to lead 5000 tigers and leopards to ride south day and night. Before Liu Bei, Liu Bei captured Jiangling and seized a large number of military supplies.

”Well, is that?”

The garrison on the head of the city saw a puma army and horse galloping from afar, and could not help shouting.

”The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!”

With this cry, the whole city of Jiangling became flustered. The drums on the top of the city were sounded, and thousands of soldiers poured into the city, holding weapons.

And at this time, the army horse that rushed all the way finally showed its original shape. It was the Cao army with the banner of ”Cao”!The chief general, with broad shoulders and all over his body, cried out: ”I am Cao Ren, general of Zhenbei under the prime minister's command. Why not open the city and surrender as soon as possible?”

At this moment, it is enough to call Cao Houdun and Cao Rencao the vanguard of XiahouDun, and call it a great responsibility.

After a while of pushing and shoving on the head of the city, a valiant general came out. He was eight feet tall and his face was like double dates.

”I'm Wei Yan, a military officer. I'm ordered to guard Jiangling city. How can I be reduced to Cao thief?”

Wei Yanda said: ”if you are not afraid of death, just attack.”

Cao Ren snorted coldly: ”if you don't eat or eat, you'll die.”

”The whole army is ready to attack the city!”

”Here it is

Despite the fact that Cao's troops are only the vanguards of Cao's army, there are 20000 people in front of them alone. Looking at the vast area under pressure, the whole Jiangling city is surrounded by dark clouds. It really feels like the city is being destroyed by dark clouds.

Under Cao Ren's order, the 20000 strong army did not attack the city immediately, but dug trenches outside the city. At the same time, all kinds of trees outside Jiangling city were cut down. These trees were carved into various kinds of siege weapons such as ladder cars, wood bumping vehicles, and rushing cars.

”Quickly bring up the rolling wood stone, fire oil and gold juice, and prepare to resist the enemy!” Wei Yan's expression is congealed.

Cao's army was ready to attack the city, and the garrison at the head of the city could not be idle. They carried all kinds of garrison items to the top of the city one after another. In addition to the conventional rolling wood and stone, there were also poisonous gold juice, as well as the kerosene specially used to burn the siege vehicles and ladder trucks.
