Chapter 40 Attacking Xiangyang Again
"The victory is so bleak and unbearable to watch, but the defeat is so magnificent and magnificent."
Huo Jun stood on top of the city and thought for a long time without saying anything. He was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
The fire was so huge that it could continuously emit loud whistles in the fire. It was a kind of bow and arrow unique to the Wancheng Army. In an instant, some Jingzhou soldiers fell, but the defeat was determined. Even when Wei Yan retreated these soldiers
They still persisted in not retreating because they knew that once they scattered and fled, they would easily become easy targets for these Jingzhou soldiers.
There were more than 10,000 Jingzhou cavalry troops. To massacre these infantrymen who suffered heavy casualties, every step forward cost from a few to dozens of people...
After a long time, Xiang Lang panted and came to Huo Jun amidst cheers and reported: "General, we killed six thousand enemies in this battle. This is our greatest victory since the war."
Huo Jun Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and only 6,000 of the enemy were wiped out. Everyone, go back, be careful about the city today, and continue to fight tomorrow."
"Yes. General."
Wei Yan was pacing back and forth alone in the Chinese army's tent, unable to live peacefully for a while.
At this moment, Wen Qiang opened the military tent and came in. Wei Yan asked eagerly: "What are the casualties?"
"The situation is not good. Only a few hundred of the 6,000 people have escaped. Even if they did, they were all seriously injured. I'm afraid they won't be able to fight again in a short time."
"Have a good rest today, and you must rush down to Xiangyang City tomorrow. Lu Bu, the leader of the Wancheng Army, led thousands of troops to capture three cities in one day, while our 50,000 troops spent a whole day without even being able to capture it. It was really helpless.
Explain."
"Well, I will strengthen the defense tonight and set off tomorrow to continue the attack."
"good."
The next day, under Xiangyang City, war drums were beating everywhere, and Wancheng soldiers roared to the sky again,
Wei Yan took the lead. He drew his long sword from his horse and thrust it into the ground. He shouted loudly: "From now on, there are no generals or soldiers. There are only siege soldiers and war supervisors. For every three thousand siege soldiers, there are three thousand war supervisors."
Soldiers, the remaining 1,000 siege soldiers will become siege soldiers, and the soldiers behind will become supervised soldiers."
"General, what do we do now?"
"There is no general anymore, I am now a siege soldier."
After Wei Yan dismounted, he raised his shield and held his sword and took the lead in attacking Xiangyang City with three thousand soldiers.
In an instant, the dazzling light from the Molotov cocktails and gunpowder pills had blocked the sight of the siege soldiers. The sky was full of arrow feathers and flying fire, making noisy sounds. In the space above the heads of the Wancheng soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers, many
Many huge fireballs exploded and fell one after another. Under the sky, it was as dark as when a heavy rain was coming, with Molotov cocktails and gunpowder pills.
Projecting blue-gray light in all directions. In the visible world, from one end to the other, the entire city was shaking, sinking, and melting, and the infinite space was shaking like the sea. Extremely
Violent explosions, merciless arrows flying across the sky, and at the top of the zenith, there were rolling logs and rocks, like a volcano without feet.
...On that vast and boundless ground, there is only rain and night, and nothing else. The clouds in the sky and the clouds from the ground are scattered on the ground, mixed together, and only the sad wailing and gathering can be seen.
Rivers of blood...
"Look, general, General Wei, the first batch of people to attack only have a thousand people left."
Wen Qiang's eyes were sunken. He had been fighting here and there for many years, but he had never been as tired and anxious as he was today.
"Now the soldiers supervising the battle will become siege soldiers. Attack for me, and the soldiers behind will become soldiers supervising the battle."
