Chapter 33 Breaking through Fancheng
Chapter 33: Breaking through Fancheng
Cai Mao was under a lot of pressure. After fighting for only one day, his soldiers and horses were lost by nearly one-third. How should he fight next?

Two hours later, when Deng Jun finished his rest, the wheel attack was launched again, and this time it was even crazier than last time. At that time, he had already come to the bottom of the city with the ladder on his shoulders, and climbed up the ladder alone to kill him.

"Quick, stop him!" Cai Mao's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to notice that Zhang Fei had climbed up, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to stop Zhang Fei, but who was Zhang Fei? , The one on the right is like chopping melons and vegetables. There is no single enemy in the Jing army.

While Zhang Fei was wreaking havoc on the top of the city of Fancheng, Deng Jun's troops had already arrived at the base of the city, and the soldiers set up ladders to rush upwards one after another. Seeing this, Cai Mao yelled and howled, asking the soldiers to go up and stop Zhang Fei, but it didn't do much.

When Yue Fei in Deng Jun's army saw Zhang Fei entering the land of no one, he knew that the opportunity to fight for a day had come, so he quickly ordered Deng Ai and Ma Chao to go up to participate in the siege, and the rest of the troops were on standby at any time.

Deng Ai and Ma Chao worked together in a division of labor. Ma Chao led his troops to the top of the city to meet Zhang Fei, while Deng Ai directed the soldiers to hit the top of the city with a ram.

"Bang!" Under the huge impact force of the car, the gate of Fancheng was crumbling, and on the top of the city, because of Ma Chao's joining, the morale of Deng's army was greatly boosted, and Jing's army was defeated one after another, crying for their father and mother.

Seeing the rapidly deteriorating situation, Cai Mao was filled with bitterness. He never expected that Fancheng, guarded by a [-]-strong army, would not defend even a single day against a mere [-] Deng's army. Speaking of which, it's a great shame.

"I fought with you." Cai Mao felt very ashamed in his heart, and saw Zhang Fei and Ma Chao slaughtering on the top of the city. He was very angry. He who was usually afraid of death actually raised his long sword to Zhang Fei went to kill. Although Cai Mao's level is very limited, he still has some martial arts skills to be a general of the Jing Kingdom. When he rushed to where Zhang Fei was, the soldiers of the Deng Army who dared to stop him rushed one after another. was killed by him.

Originally Zhang Fei was enjoying the fight, but when he saw Cai Mao rushing towards him and killed all the Deng soldiers who blocked him along the way, his heart was filled with anger. With a wave of his spear, he knocked down several Jing soldiers around him, Killed Cai Mao.

"Hey!" Zhang Fei's spear collided with Cai Mao's long sword, and then Cai Mao's long sword flew out. Cai Mao was shocked, and the courage he had just raised disappeared suddenly. He turned around and retreated, but Zhang Fei was not willing to let him go, so he yelled and killed him.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Jing army stopped Zhang Fei for Cai Mao, which saved Cai Mao's life. Cai Mao, who was out of danger, was still in shock, and quickly picked up his long sword and directed the soldiers to block it.

"Boom!" This is, Deng Ai, who was fighting at the top of the city, finally broke through the city gate. A large number of Deng Jun soldiers rushed into Fancheng with their chariots. The Jing army at the city gate was killed and retreated steadily.

Cai Mao watched Deng Jun continuously enter the city. He knew that he was defeated and powerless. His expression was pale, and he tightly held the long sword in his hand. I should lead the army of Jing State to defend against powerful enemies outside and secure the country inside, but I have been defeated repeatedly and lost my army. I am ashamed of the trust in the people of Jing State and in the king. Today Fancheng is lost, and I will live and die with Fancheng. "After that, he put the long sword across his neck, intending to commit suicide and apologize.

"You mustn't, General." Just when Cai Mao was about to kill himself, the deputy general under his command came over and stopped Cai Mao and said, "General, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You must not seek short-sightedness. If you stay with the green hills, don't be afraid." There is no firewood, if something happens to the general, who will guard Xiangyang, what will Jing do? I hope the general will think twice."

The words of the lieutenant general were like pouring cold water into Cai Mao's wake. In fact, the reason why Cai Mao wanted to kill himself just now was all because of the courage he raised up out of shame and anger. Hearing the words of the lieutenant general, Cai Mao felt lucky. I thought, yes, I can’t die yet, if I die, what will happen to Xiangyang?What about Gangneung?What about Jing Guo?
"Hurry up and pass on the order. Fancheng can't be defended anymore. Gather the army, withdraw from Fancheng, and retreat to Xiangyang." Cai Mao, who didn't want to die, immediately thought of retreating. Fancheng was impossible to hold. Deng Jun fought hard, and eventually the whole army was wiped out. It is better to preserve its strength and retreat to Xiangyang to rebuild the defense line.

The Jing army didn't want to continue fighting at first, no, when the order to retreat was issued, they scrambled towards Xiangyang. Seeing this, Cai Mao was furious, and was about to give the order to the lieutenant general.He asked him to restrain the soldiers, but before the deputy general arrived, Deng Jun came to kill him. Cai Mao was shocked, and he couldn't care about gathering the troops anymore, so he quickly ran away with the troops with his own soldiers.

When Cai Mao ran, the Jing army's defense line collapsed completely. Seeing this, Yue Fei immediately ordered the whole army to attack. Song Guang and Pang De took the lead and rushed into Fancheng, followed by Yang Yanzhao and Wang Ce.

As Deng's army entered the city, the Jing army in the city completely gave up resistance and put down their weapons one after another. Soon, the city was wiped out, and Yue Fei asked Su Hong and others to set up a list to calm the people.

Zhang Fei and others originally planned to lead troops to pursue them, but Yue Fei considered that the soldiers had already exhausted their energy after fighting all day and night, not to mention that Cai Mao was like a frightened bird, and he would definitely rush to Xiangyang without stopping. It is meaningless to stop for any further pursuit. It is better to rest and recuperate in Fancheng, and wait for the soldiers to recover before reorganizing the army and heading to Xiangyang.

At night, Yue Fei and others gathered at the General's Mansion in Fancheng to discuss matters.

Su Hong kept flipping through the slips in his hand, and said: "General Yue, in this battle, our army killed more than [-] soldiers, wounded more than [-] people, and seriously injured more than [-] people who could not go to the battlefield. There were more than a thousand people and nearly ten thousand prisoners, because the Jing army retreated in a hurry, and the food, grass and military supplies in the city were not taken or destroyed in time, all were captured by our army."

After hearing this, Yue Fei and the others couldn't help being overjoyed. In the battle of Fancheng, the casualties were heavy, but the results were remarkable. Not only did they take down Fancheng, the northern gateway of the Jing Kingdom, but they also wiped out nearly [-] Jing troops. One-third of Jing State's soldiers and horses seized countless food, grass and military resources, which greatly frightened Jing State, which played a great role in attacking Xiangyang.

Yue Fei thought for a while, and said: "Take good care of the injured brother, and send scouts to investigate around Xiangyang. Be sure to find out the situation in Xiangyang clearly. At the same time, send people to Wancheng to report the victory, so that the imperial court can send people to take over Fancheng."

"Here!" Su Hong said.

Yue Fei said: "Now that Fancheng has fallen, there is only one strong city left in Xiangyang to the north of Jiangling. As long as Xiangyang is taken down, Jiangling will be in front of us, and immortal achievements will be in front of us. I hope you will encourage each other."

"General Yue, don't worry, we will definitely take Xiangyang, march to Jiangling, and destroy Jingguo." The generals said loudly.

"Okay, if that's the case, I will rest in Fancheng for two days, and after two days, the troops will go to Xiangyang!" Yue Fei no longer hesitated, and decided to only rest in Fancheng for two days, and after two days, the army marched to Xiangyang.
