Chapter 886 (1/2)

The night was dark, but Cao's army put tens of thousands of torches outside the city, and countless torches gathered in one place to reflect each other, turning the night into day, while nearly 20000 Cao troops launched a fierce attack on Jiangling city under the cover of torches.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The archers of Cao army under the city head launched the first attack. Tens of thousands of arrows attacked the city head from the bottom to the top. As a result, there was almost no place to stand on the city head. As if it were raining, many cracks in the wall tiles were filled with arrows.

And the defenders on the top of the city were not willing to be outdone. The swordsmen and shield men went forward to spend large shields and set up a line to resist the arrows from the enemy. The archers behind them were bows and arrows, pouring out tens of thousands of arrows.

From time to time, they were shot by the two arrow troops in the city.

Human life has never been so fragile as at this moment. The dense arrows like rain fall on the earth, like the scythe of death crossing the sky, harvesting life like wheat. Once a person falls down, it is difficult to get up again.

However, these Cao troops were fierce and fearless, and rushed forward with their teeth clenched. In addition to standing at the back, there was a rule in the Cao army.

Because Cao's army adopted the system of soldiers from generation to generation, their parents, wives and children were all in the rear. If they dared to surrender or escape, the families in the rear would be severely tortured. Therefore, these Cao soldiers could only fight forward with their teeth, because they had no other choice.

Numerous Cao soldiers broke through the dense and rainy blockade line and rushed under the city's head with chariots. Then they began to attack Jiangling with attached chariots.

Bang!

The huge wood on the crash was like a giant soldier of gods. The two wooden city gates rumbled and trembled, but they could hold on for a moment.

”First of all, come forward!”

On one side of the city wall, dozens of ladders were attached to it. Hundreds of soldiers and soldiers of Cao climbed on the ladder and launched a fierce attack on Jiangling city.

”Rolling wood and stone, smash it for me!”

In the night, although the torch was lit, it was still a little unclear. The guards on the top of the city had to aim at the crowded places and throw them away. The scream soon afterwards proved that these rolling stones were not in vain.

Firebricks and kerosene were also thrown down, and a few feet of fire came out. Cao soldiers were burning one by one, and suddenly turned into a fireman, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night.

Cao Ren pressed the hilt of his sword, but he didn't say a word. His long-term war career had made him a hardened heart. In fact, he was bloody, and the battlefield was full of broken arms and legs. It was no different from the hell of Shura. Therefore, many veterans suffered from serious psychological problems after the war.

Must insist! As long as we can conquer Jiangling City, all the sacrifice is worth it, Cao Ren said to himself.

”Dad, let me also lead a team of men and horses to attack the city?”

A young general stood aside and bowed his hand to Cao Ren. He looked like Cao Ren six or seven times like Cao Ren. It was Cao Tai, the son of Cao Ren.

”You? Can it be done? ”

Cao Ren stares at Cao Tai and frowns. Although Cao Tai is his own son, he doesn't have any special generals. What if there is a mistake?

Cao Tai said in a loud voice: ”Dad, don't be generous with one another. Thousands of officers and men of Cao army have children and women. Can I do nothing as the son of Zhenbei general?”

”Cao Tai asked the general's permission to attack the city.”
