Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty - Chapter 982
Chapter 982
On the surface of the water around Jiang Xia, there were densely packed warships, almost everywhere, all of them were Xiliang navy warships under Gao Chong’s command.
Although Cao Jun ruled Jiangdong, it did not last long, and most of the main navy forces were also concentrated in the Chaisang area, and the Jiangxia navy under Cao Ren was weak. Cao Ren simply let them retreat, using this navy power and huge West When the Liangshui Division fought, it was simply death.
A large number of warships surrounded Jiangxia City and Tuan Tuan, making Jiang Xia an isolated city, or island.
Rao is Cao Ren known as the Iron Wall, and is Cao Cao’s best guard general. He couldn’t help being silent when he saw this scene.
Niu Jin, Cao Tai and other generals behind him also didn’t know what to say.
Only Man Chong opened his mouth and said: “General Zixiao, it’s a matter of life and death right now. Liu Yuqing and Qi Gong are in full-scale war. Our army is the first front in the south to stop Liu Yuqing. If you can’t defend it, the southern front will collapse!”
Cao Ren nodded slowly: “I understand that when I send a letter to Qi Gong, I say that Cao Ren will swear to defend Jiangxia City, but please Qi Gong anyway to mobilize reinforcements to help Jiangxia.”
Man Chong said, “Don’t worry, the general, I will find a way to tell the prime minister.”
“The enemy has attacked the city!”
At this moment, the Xiliang navy finally launched an offensive against Jiang Xia, and countless navy warships surged up and rushed towards Jiang Xia.
The huge building ship is like a giant on the sea, and the height of the Jiangxia city wall is not much different. The archers on the ship have already aimed at Jiangxia City with their bows and arrows.
Whoosh whoosh!
Thousands of arrow rain flew out, covering the entire Jiangxia city.
“what!”
From time to time, Cao Jun’s arrow fell into the water from the top of the city, thumping up a big splash.
“Raise a shield, raise a shield!” Cao Ren shouted loudly.
Cao Jun on the city’s head raised their shields one after another to resist the rain of arrows. The arrows hit the shield, making a trembling sound. In front of the powerful rain of arrows from the Xiliang Navy, Cao Jun felt it from the beginning. It is under tremendous pressure.
The Xiliang Navy did not assault the city. It only attacked the enemy with a intensive rain of arrows. Dozens of boats and battleships attacked Jiangxia City. Although Cao Jun’s deaths and injuries were not too many, everyone thought of it. Feeling fear, such a dense rain of arrows, how many enemy troops are there, and who can resist it?
This is also Gao Chong’s idea. Through the dense arrow rain, let the enemy see the strength of the Xiliang navy division, first defeat the enemy’s fighting spirit, and win first!
The same was true during the Battle of Guandu that year. Yuan and Cao’s armies fought at Guandu. Yuan Jun continuously launched fierce attacks on Cao Jun and launched Loulu, which is a wooden tower higher than Cao Junyingzhai. Yuan Jun’s archer stood on the Loulu. The continuous rain of arrows poured down on Cao Jun’s camp, so that when the Cao Jun walked in the camp, he had to hold up a shield to guard against the rain of arrows shot from overhead. It was miserable, and the fighting spirit of the army was greatly troubled.
Cao Ren frowned, and a few arrows even hit him just now. Thanks to the guards beside him holding a shield to stop him, even the coach had arrows here, and the onslaught on the city head was naturally predictable.
“Siege!”
The flight ladders reached the city wall of Jiangxia City, and the Xiliang soldiers immediately bit their iron knives. They used both hands and feet to climb up the flight ladders and flew towards Jiangxia City.
“Kill!”
“Let go, let go!”
Seeing the enemy army began to attack, Cao Ren naturally ordered to release arrows, and countless arrows flew out. From time to time, the Xiliang army screamed and the arrows fell in the water. However, there were still countless tough-willed Xiliang soldiers in the crowd. In the arrow rain, continue to climb forward.
However, seeing the enemy’s archers starting to fight back, the offensive of the Xiliang Army archers on the building and the battleship was naturally more fierce, and the Cao Jun on the suppressed city almost couldn’t raise his head.
Cao Ren frowned, and now Cao Jun’s only navy warship could not shrink, and Xiliang navy took the initiative, making this battle extremely difficult.
Cao Ren frowned and said, “Bonin, please organize young men in the city. If this continues, our army will surely suffer heavy casualties, and the young men will definitely be useful.”
Unexpectedly, on the first day, the young men had to be organized and mobilized. After so many years of fighting, Cao Ren was so frustrated for the first time.
The two armies kept coming and going. Although Cao Renjun was the defender of the city, there were more casualties than the offensive Xiliang Army. Because the Xiliang Navy completely mastered water control, both sides launched a fierce attack on Jiangxia City. So the casualties of Cao Jun are naturally increasing.
If it weren’t for these people who were elites who followed Cao Ren for many years, I’m afraid they would be defeated.
“Haha, I didn’t expect the progress to be so smooth.” Zhang Jai laughed and said: “In this way, maybe in half a month, our army will be able to win Jiang Xia!”
Zhang Jai was ordered to unify the army to attack Jiangxia and Jiangdong with 80,000 troops. As the head coach of Xiliang Army South Road, he was naturally eager. Jiangxia was the first nail encountered by the South Road Army. As long as he could pull this nail out, he would attack Jiangdong. Naturally it becomes much easier.
“attack!”
Under the cover of the battleship and the ship, the sailors of the Xiliang Army on the first flight ladder finally rushed to the head of Jiangxia City.
A Xiliang sailor pinched the handle of the knife, loosened his teeth, kicked his legs, and jumped up.
“kill!”
An arc-shaped blade of light suddenly passed, a Cao Jun suddenly screamed, and covered his lower abdomen with his hand, only to see a deep wound on his lower abdomen, and blood spilled out of it.
“Hey, brothers, kill! Take down Jiang Xiacheng and bring back Cao thief for the general!”
The public is inferior to the king, and it is reasonable to say that it is far more noble than the official position of the general, so now Liu Ye should be called Qin Gong. But these Xiliang army respected Liu Ye very much, and they had long been used to calling Liu Ye a general, and they couldn’t change their words for a while.
There were many soldiers in Xiliang, and naturally their morale was high. After they rushed to the top of the city, they chopped and slashed, killing many Cao Jun.
“So courageous!”
The reckless man Niujin was naturally furious when he saw this. He took his soldiers and jumped forward. The long knife in his hand was instantly cut out. A Xiliang soldier suddenly screamed and fell into the water.
“Kill me!”
The personal soldiers next to Niu Jin also followed suit. These personal soldiers were naturally much more powerful than the average Cao soldiers, and under the leadership of Niu Jin, they rushed forward. It was finally temporary. Contained the offensive of the Xiliang Army.
“Humph!”
Upon seeing this, Gan Ning immediately asked Gao Chong for his orders: “The chief governor, send me forward to frustrate Cao Jun.
