I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

Xinye is such an existence.Once there is an enemy attack, news will come from Xinye.

This is one point that the defenders of Fancheng neglected, and there is another point.That is, Jingchu has been in peace for a long time, and there has been no war for nearly ten years.It was just that when Sun Jian attacked, Huang Zu fought back.

No one expected that an army would come to attack.

Isn't the current situation like this, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are fighting for hegemony in the north, and Cao Cao is unable to go south.Since Cao Cao does not go south, they have no threat.

This kind of negligence is the weakness of Xiangfan's defense, and it has become Zhao Yun's victory point for destroying the city with one blow.

The gods will break through Fancheng, and they will definitely dislike the powerful storm in the north of Jingchu.

Chapter 252 Attacking Fancheng

For Zhao Yun's elite soldiers, who were advancing rapidly, the distance of twenty li was within a blink of an eye.

When the flags were unfurled and four thousand elite soldiers appeared in the north of Fancheng, the guards on the city and the people around them were shocked.

Xiangfan is rich and therefore has a large population.The larger the population, the more people will be sold in and out of the city.

When Zhao Yun led his troops to kill, more than a hundred people gathered at the gate of the city.

After being stunned, these people rushed into the city gate without saying a word.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Only then did the guards on the city wake up like a dream, and roared mournfully.

"Close the city gate, close the city gate." With this loud roar, a military marquis in charge of guarding the city gate came out from the gate tower and shouted.

"Boom."

With a loud bang, the suspension bridge was lowered.The city gate was also slowly closed.

Fancheng is also close to Xiangyang after all.Even if the soldiers are negligent, they still have certain abilities, not to mention the [-] defenders, which are much, much stronger than the defense of Xinye City.

However, Zhao Yun did not think that he could easily break through Fancheng.It would be a big surprise if Fancheng surrendered as soon as your four thousand elite soldiers came up.

"Set up your position and attack the city."

After Zhao Yun arrived, he immediately raised his spear, pointed at the city and roared.

It is as fast as lightning, and it will be broken with one blow, otherwise there will be endless troubles.When the enemy is slack, it is time to attack.Zhao Yun had fully demonstrated this point during the battle in Runan City.

This time, the attack on Fancheng is the same.

There was no time for the soldiers to stay, drink water, or even breathe.

"Kill." At this moment, the soldiers were actually quite tired. After all, they had run for thirty or forty miles, but under Zhao Yun's order, the soldiers mustered up their remaining strength and let out a roar, carrying ladders and holding weapons. He rushed to Fancheng.

On the city, some archers have already bent their bows and set arrows under the organization of Junhou.After seeing that Zhao Yun launched an attack without any pause.

Junhou was taken aback, and then secretly complained.This is to win a battle and not give them time to breathe.Those who come are not good, those who come are not good.

Junhou groaned in his heart, but he kept his composure on the face, and shouted an order.

"Shoot."

"Swish, swish, swish." Following the command of the Marquis Jun, arrows rained down on the city, and each arrow made a soft whistling sound and shot at Zhao Yun's army.

"Puchi, puchi."

"Ah, ah, ah."

Although there were not many prepared archers on the city because of Zhao Yun's sudden attack, the arrow still hit many people.

Amidst the sound of arrows piercing the flesh, the soldiers who were shot let out a scream.Some people were slightly injured, gritted their teeth and continued to rush towards the city.

Some soldiers were seriously injured and immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

Siege warfare is a test for any army.Test the experience of fighting, test the quality of an army, and test courage.

And Zhao Yun's elite soldiers are elite soldiers who have rounded up many thieves, and they have extremely rich experience in fighting. Lu Su does not lack courage, and Zhao Yun and Lu Su's ability to lead troops is very superb.

It can be said that Zhao Yun's elite soldiers have reached the level of elite soldiers in all aspects.

Volume 66, Section 526: Chapter 252 Attacking Fancheng (2)

Under the rounds of arrows, they did not flinch, but became more brave.

"Don't back down, rush forward, the general will definitely treat us badly once the city is broken. If we back down, the army will be defeated, and we will die." A military marquis roared to boost morale.

"Kill." The soldiers cheered up for a while, roared and killed in unison, and rushed towards Fancheng with a more aggressive momentum.

Under the rounds of arrows, none of the soldiers flinched and approached the moat carrying the ladder.

As an important city ahead, Fancheng is also close to the water source.It has a very wide moat.However, like Runan City, this river has no time to fill up.

When the soldiers approached the moat, they quickly took the ladder as a bridge and laid it down on the moat.Then stepping on the ladder, quickly passed the moat.

When a small half of the army passed through the moat, some soldiers began to carry the ladder and climb up against the city wall.

Bows and arrows are medium and long-distance weapons, and they are top-notch in terms of shooting.But when defending the city, after the enemy climbs up the city wall, the effect is far inferior to rolling stones, logs, rolling oil, etc. to defend the city and consolidate it.

A stone and a log were smashed down, brains were juxtaposed, and blood flew everywhere.A pot of oil and water was poured down, and countless soldiers fell to the ground and howled.Regardless of the lethality, it is the scene that is intimidating.

But it is a pity that there is no such thing in Fancheng at present, because no one expected that someone would take the risk of attacking Fancheng.

The owner of Fancheng is Liu Biao, the lord of Jingchu, a great prince with more than [-] soldiers.

Such arrogance and self-confidence have created the current result.

Seeing Zhao Yun's soldiers climbing up the city wall one after another, the Junhou could only order to shoot slowly with bows and arrows, watching one soldier after another climb up the city wall.

"The general's reinforcements haven't arrived yet?" Junhou shouted anxiously, grabbing the collar of a soldier.

"My lord, it takes time to get from the city gate to the center of the city, and it takes time to mobilize troops. This enemy's offensive is so fierce that we haven't been given any time. I'm afraid, I'm afraid."

The soldier also had a look of panic on his face, and said.

Not only this soldier, but also some of the surrounding soldiers were panicked and at a loss.Jingzhou has been in peace for too long, so long that the soldiers are no longer used to the troubled times.

"Liu Jingzhou is the hero of the party, and Xiangyang is only across a river, and the reinforcements can be killed in half a day. Fancheng is so good, how can we let the bandits come out of nowhere to guard the city to the death."

Seeing this, the Marquis let go of the soldiers in his hands, drew out the long sword at his waist, and shouted loudly.

"Defend the city."

Seeing that the Marquis was so resolute, the soldiers involuntarily calmed down, shouting loudly.
