Under Xiangyang City, flags and streamers were fluttering, trumpets and ribbons were waving, swords and guns were like a forest, and the sound of killing shook the ground.
A simple count showed that there were fifteen or six enemies charging forward, and the charge was as powerful as an overwhelming mountain.
At this time, Taishi Ci, who was in charge of the reserve, had also stepped forward to supervise the battle in person.
When he arrived at Gan Ning's side, he had probably fought with the enemy several times in person.
His body and face were spattered with blood, and there was still blood on the halberds in his hands.
It kept dripping, and now he put all the troops in his hands into it, leaving no reserves at all.
Gan Ning's more than 10,000 Jinfan naval forces were replaced and rested.
Those Xiangyang County soldiers and Taishi Ci's new soldiers became the main force defending the city today.
Although there are many people, their combat power is not necessarily much stronger than Gan Ning's Jinfan.
What hasn't been used much yet is Wenpin's 40,000-strong technology army.
But judging from the current situation, it may not take more than a few days for Wenpin's army to all press forward.
"Xingba, we can't let the enemy's Thunderbolt Chariot show off its power."
Taishi Ci licked his blood-stained lips and revealed the core of this attack and defense.
"I know."
Gan Ning slashed to death an enemy soldier with a crazily distorted face, and shouted, "You can't let the city fall before we finish fighting.
Shoot me arrows, shoot arrows, don't stop."
When Taishi Ci was about to speak, a big stone whizzed towards him and hit the city head, causing rubble to scatter everywhere.
This made the already embarrassed Taishi Ci even more disgraced.
He suddenly forgot what he wanted to say before, waved his halberd and shouted: "Throw stones, throw stones, smash their thunderbolt chariots."
The trebuchet duel caused quite a stir, but the effect was far from satisfactory.
It can be said that the Thunderbolt Chariot has made great achievements many times, and it is effective when it hits the city wall, but if the Ma family's trebuchet is ready to hit the Thunderbolt Chariot 250 steps away, it really tests the accuracy.
In the fight, what really caused huge casualties was the Ma family's mountain-destroying crossbow.
Dense rain of arrows continued to rain down on the charging enemy troops, and the coalition troops rushed upward with huge numbers and no fear of sacrifice.
Although the ground was once again littered with corpses, facing an enemy force of 300,000 soldiers, it seemed as if there were no casualties at all.
After three rounds of volleys, the front line of the moat had become a thick pile of corpses.
The coalition forces no longer had to worry about where to set up a ladder and support it on a hill made of corpses, so they could reach the Xiangyang city wall.
Within a hundred steps of the corpse hill, four-foot-long giant arrows had been lined up in a dense forest of arrows.
Those giant arrows were stuck in the ground, more than three feet into the ground, and they could not be pulled out.
Death and madness are intertwined on this mountain of corpses, scattered chaotically among the arrow forests, and blood flows all over the earth.
The brave soldiers under Cao Cao and Sun Ce, who were not afraid of death, felt after an hour that their lives were no better than those of the soldiers in front of a stick of incense, and they finally began to waver.
But at this moment, under the huge "Cao" command flag at the rear, dozens of heads were hung, all of which were the heads of soldiers and officers who failed to attack effectively.
General Xia Houyuan and others had all their tassels, seals, and other items indicating their identity taken away, and they were organizing their troops to charge again in the hope of being convicted and meritorious.
The same was true for Sun Ce, but what was even crazier than Cao Cao was that he had already mounted his horse and led his generals to attack the city in person.
This time, Zhou Yu didn't stop him in the slightest.
The soldiers who hesitated during the charge were confused.
They could not have imagined that their lord would take Xiangyang City at all costs.
They are very clear about the consequences of hesitation, that is, even if they escape back to their own army, they will have their heads chopped off by the law enforcement team, and the allocated farmland will be taken away from their relatives without mercy.
As a result, the Jiangdong disciples fought bravely under Sun Ce's authority, while the soldiers of Cao's army continued to fight bravely under the anger of being unable to retreat.
They grabbed the bows and arrows in their hands like crazy and shot hard at the city wall.
With a shrieking cry, they landed on the shields of Gan Ning and Taishi Ci's personal guards, making a tinkling sound.
The dead soldiers who rushed up from the cloud ladder turned the Xiangyang city wall into a sea of blood.
Soldiers from both sides fought each other.
A village leader seemed to have discovered that Gan Ning was a high official.
With a roar, he led more than 30 people to Gan Ning.
Rushing forward, Gan Ning was in the front position and was immediately surrounded.

Cao Jun roared like a pack of dogs attacking a piece of meat and bone.
Gan Ning was furious.
Holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, he charged straight into the enemy group, like a tiger rushing into a pack of wolves.
He killed more than a dozen people in a row.
The last sword cut off the head of the camp commander of Cao's army.
Cao Jun fought.
However, Gan Ning's position was still in danger of collapse.
It seemed to have become a bridgehead for the enemy to capture Xiangyang.
No matter how many people came up, it seemed that they would all be consumed in less than a stick of incense.
The power of Yuan Rong's crossbow is indeed unparalleled, but under continuous high-intensity firing, it has been damaged a lot, and it all depends on human life to send it inside.
At this time, there was no sign of a city wall at all.
It turned into a gentle slope.
The corpses were piled up in the moat to form a passage.
The two sides were literally fighting on top of the pile of corpses.
This city wall has become a huge meat grinder, harvesting fresh life every moment.
"Come up with Wenpin's army."
Taishi Ci grabbed Gan Ning and roared, his voice as hoarse as a broken gong: "You have been fighting for two days and one night, you can't fight any longer, Zhongye, this guy Zhongye What are you doing?
Why don’t you come up and change defense?”
Before he finished speaking, a loud bang was heard at the city gate, and the suspension bridge that had been retracted was lowered at this time.
When the city gate opened, Wenpin roared out with three thousand cavalry.
At this time, Cao and Sun's armies had spread all their troops along the city wall, but there was not much defense against the city gate blocked by the moat.
Wenpin raised his sword and watched as these fighters and three thousand cavalry rushed towards the enemy's Thunderbolt Chariot.
"I didn't expect Zhongye, a usually steady and calm guy, to have such a bloody side."
Gan Ning felt a lot more relaxed when he saw Wenpin being so discerning.
But then he turned to Taishi Ci and asked: "Where did he get the war horse from?"
"It was also left by my lord."
Guo Jia, a scribe, had not left the city wall even half a step away.
The soles of his feet were wet with blood and his body was shaking unsteadily without making a sound: "Xingba, please retreat first.
Let Ziyi and Zhongye stand up here." superior" Gan Ning chuckled, turned around and grabbed Guo Jia: "The military advisor should retreat with me.
Don't kill the enemy but exhaust the military advisor.
The loss will outweigh the gain."
Gan Ning and Guo Jia temporarily withdrew from the city wall, but the battle outside the city had just begun.
Cao Cao was a great military master.
Even though he was eager for success, few people had enough control over the entire battle situation.
Before Wenpin's charge came, Cao Jun ordered his flag to be waved, and the formation suddenly changed.
The direction of Wenpin's charge was unknowingly changed.
Thousands of escorts moved forward like dragons, densely guarding the Thunderbolt Chariot.
The three arms, swords, shields, spears, and archers, behaved in a measured manner, which was obviously a formation.
Taishi Ci stood at the top of the city, condescending, and immediately gave orders, using his command flag to guide Wenpin.
With the help of Ling Qi, Wenpin immediately understood the direction and rushed towards the direction of the Pili chariot.
The soldiers recruited under Wenpin strictly followed the Ma family's selection standards.
Their skills in bowing, horse riding, and shooting were extremely proficient.
Although they were not as good as those cavalrymen who were born in Liang, Bing, and Youzhou and lived on horseback all day long, their combat prowess was almost the same. .
Under the violent explosion of Hequ's horses, Cao's army was immediately torn apart.
Cao's army changed their formations continuously and blocked their attack with several times their military strength, but they were unable to block their way.

However, a military formation with three thousand troops clashing hundreds of times was a bit too scary.
What's more, Cao Cao immediately sent soldiers to intercept, obviously he was prepared for this.
Taishi Ci watched carefully from the top of the city.
The smoke and dust behind Cao Cao surged like a dragon roaring.
It seemed that the world-famous Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were about to be dispatched to intercept and kill Wenpin's troops in one fell swoop.
Taishi Ci was about to ask Wenpin to return the money, when out of the corner of his eye he inadvertently noticed something strange in Wenpin's department.
After Wenpin rushed into the formation, he fought hard and broke the earthen jar behind the horse's belly.
As the war horses galloped, the liquid in the jars spread all over the front line, leaving an unpleasant smell.
"This smell is..."
The gentle south wind quickly brought this smell into Taishi Ci's nose.
He was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with joy: "It's kerosene.
What a good Zhongye, he actually thought of this method."
Taishi Ci immediately ordered preparations.
When he turned back, he saw that Wenpin had already begun to retreat without having achieved much success.
Wenpin took the lead, wielding the long sword in his hand, and the enemy generals fell off their horses one after another.
At this time, Cao Cao's camp was without Dian Wei, and Xu Chu was once again personally defending Cao Cao.
Those exhausted generals who had fought hard for two days and one night were really no match for Wenpin.
Wenpin showed off his might, and his horses made waves everywhere.
Before Cao Cao's formation was about to be established, he successfully broke out of the encirclement of Cao's army and returned to the suspension bridge.
"Okay, now."
Taishi Ci saw the opportunity and waved his right hand fiercely, and the trebuchet on the city once again showed its power.
However, what was launched this time was no longer an ordinary stone, but:
