Chapter 316 Yu Ban came to help
Say it's dry!
Sekihei immediately entered a hidden fortress in the dirt mountain, which was a cave dug in the dirt mountain, and opened a hole outside the mountain, from which he could shoot bows and arrows to hit the enemy on the head of the city.
Guan Ping took his bow and arrows, came to a cave, looked for the figure of Cao Ren at the head of the city, and quietly waited for the opportunity.
About half an hour passed, and Guan Ping didn't find the right time, but a few soldiers from the opposite city shot bows and arrows at the entrance of the cave, but Guan Ping was not injured.
Guan Ping still did not give up and waited patiently for the opportunity.
Finally, Cao Ren walked to a stop directly opposite the entrance of the Guanping Cave and was teaching a soldier how to throw a rolling stone.
"Give it to me!" Guan Ping let out a loud shout, and without hesitation, he released the tight bowstring in his hand, and the arrows flew out of the hole and shot straight at Cao Ren on the opposite side.
"Here we go again!" The head of the city is also like arrows flying, Cao Ren is always vigilant with a sword in his hand, and when he senses the arrows flying, Cao Ren waved the sword in his hand.
With a soft ding, the arrow grazed the saber, rubbing a trace of sparks, but the arrow was not blocked, but continued to shoot towards Cao Ren.
"Ahh The arrow shot into Cao Ren's shoulder socket, and Cao Ren screamed and fell.
"Oh no, the general has been shot!"
"General, General!"
The surrounding soldiers were shocked when they saw Cao Ren being hit by an arrow.
"Great!" Guan Ping was overjoyed when he saw that he had shot Cao Ren.
"Cao Ren is dead, Cao Ren is dead!"
In the Tushan Hidden Castle, several soldiers knew that Guan Ping had been aiming here for an hour, and his goal was for Cao Ren, and when Cao Ren was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, all the soldiers were excited.
"No, Cao Ren didn't die, he stood up again!" A soldier suddenly shouted.
"Huh?" Guan Ping's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at Cao Ren through the entrance of the cave.
On the top of the city
"What are you doing, just a sloppy target! There are more stray arrows in this general than all of you, what a fuss! I saw Cao Ren get up from the ground, break the arrow inserted in the shoulder socket and throw it on the ground, and shouted at the soldiers: "Don't you go to defend the city?" ”
Seeing that Cao Ren was unharmed, the soldiers returned to their respective posts one after another.
"General, how are you?" Zhao Yan came to Cao Ren's side and asked with a concerned face.
"Boran!" Cao Renwei's left hand suddenly grabbed Zhao Yan, and the right arm of the arrow hung down weakly, blood flowed down from his arm, dripping on the ground, and a pool of blood appeared on the ground in a blink of an eye.
"Quietly help me go back and let Niu Jin guard the city!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said.
Back then, Cao Ren fought against Zhou Yu in Nanjun, but he won the reputation of heaven and man, how powerful, and now he needs someone to help him when he is hit by a stray arrow, and he is obviously seriously injured.
"Quick!" Zhao Yan hurriedly helped Cao Ren out of the city.
"Although he didn't shoot Cao Ren, he actually had to rely on someone to help him down, and he was not lightly injured, this is an opportunity." Guan Ping saw Cao Ren and Zhao Yan leaving, understood that Cao Ren's arrow wound was not light, and felt that this was an opportunity, and then found Guan Yu and said: "Father, Cao Ren was shot by me, now go down to recuperate, take the opportunity to attack!" ”
Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "You actually shot Cao Ren, that's really good, send another 2,000 soldiers and horses from the army to attack, I want to personally command!" ”
On the other side, Cao Ren was injured and returned to the city, asking a military doctor to come and treat him.
The military doctor took out the arrow, and while bandaging Cao Ren's wound, he said: "General, your arrow wound is very deep, fortunately, it hit the nest of the arrow, but it hurt the chest and the heart and henchmen, and it will be difficult to live." But despite this, the general should also be in rest. ”
As soon as Cao Ren heard this, he slapped the table with his left hand and shouted: "Now that Guan Yu is attacking the city in a hurry, how can I recuperate?" ”
As soon as Cao Ren finished speaking, he found that blood was flowing from the wound again.
The military doctor was shocked: "The general must not be angry, now it is difficult to stop the bleeding, once he is angry, he will be in trouble!" ”
Zhao Yan said: "The general will rest for two days first, and Niu Jin and I will be responsible for supervising the soldiers to guard the city, and when the general's injuries are better, it will not be too late to go to the city." ”
Cao Ren sighed and said, "That's the only ......"
"Report ......" Before Cao Ren could say anything, a soldier ran in and reported: "General, Guan Yu has sent another 2,000 soldiers and horses to attack, and the brothers are about to be unable to withstand it." ”
"Damn! Pierce my armor! Cao Ren didn't care about any recuperation when he heard this, so he hurriedly put on his armor and went to the city to command.
Time flickered by, and more than ten days passed.
In the past ten days, the Jingzhou army attacked the city during the day, and at night made trebuchets bombard Fancheng, rushing cars, and destroying the walls of cave houses.
Ten days later, the head of Fancheng City was bombarded by stones and was broken, and several large holes appeared in the wall.
Although the Jingzhou army did not attack the city at night, Cao Ren did not dare to be careless, and still sent troops and horses to wait for the battle at night.
In ten days, the soldiers of Fancheng lost more than 3,000 people, and the Jingzhou army, as the side besieging the city, although it established a Tushan cover to attack the city, it also suffered nearly 5,000 casualties.
However, there are many soldiers in Jingzhou, and the soldiers take turns to attack the city, and they are still full of energy, while Cao has few soldiers and insufficient manpower, and they have to guard against the attack of the Jingzhou army at night, and they are exhausted one by one.
If the Jingzhou army continues to attack with this intensity, I am afraid that Fancheng will not be able to hold it for long.
Moreover, Cao Ren was injured by an arrow, but he still defended the city despite his injuries, and his injuries became more and more serious, completely supported by perseverance.
………………
……
Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang, and it is also the place where Sima Yi garrisoned.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't want Sima Yi to be in charge of the army, but now that Liu Bei is powerful, Cao Cao has no one available, so he has to reuse Sima Yi and let him be fully responsible for the real battle in Jingzhou.
There are 30,000 soldiers and horses on this side of Wancheng, and the generals are forbidden, and Xiahoudun and other generals are here.
"What's going on in Fancheng?" In the Taishou Mansion, Sima Yi sat on the main seat, and below stood a scout who came from Fancheng.
The scout arched his hand and said: "General, now Guan Yu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to storm Fancheng, and established a soil mountain outside the city, the soldiers stormed during the day, and the trebuchets at night rushed to destroy the city, and the defenders had no chance to breathe at all, if it went on like this, I am afraid that Fancheng would not be able to be saved!" ”
Hearing this, Xiahoudun got up and said: "Fancheng is the gateway to Wanluo, once Fancheng is lost, the Central Plains is in danger, so quickly lead the troops to rescue Wancheng!" ”
"No!" Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "If you lead the troops now, Guan Yu will definitely retreat back to Jingzhou." Then this time King Wei's plan fell through. ”
Xiahoudun gritted his teeth and said, "Is it just to watch Guan Yu take Fancheng?" ”
"General Xiahou, don't worry!" Sima Yi said: "Naturally, I won't watch Fancheng fall, now I have 30,000 soldiers and horses in Wancheng, and there are also soldiers and horses in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, but it will take time."
So I decided to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet Fancheng first, although 20,000 soldiers and horses are not much, but also a lot, which can not only keep Fancheng, but also not let Guan Yu retreat. As long as Guan Yu is delayed, I will lead the army south and cut off Guan Yu's retreat, so that the Jiangdong side can succeed. ”
Sima Yi paused and said, "General Yu Ban, you will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to resist Guan Yu!" ”
"Me?" Yu Banyan's face changed slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "General, Guan Yu's martial arts are powerful in the world, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent, and I ask the general to send a helper for me." ”
Sima Yi said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to face Guan Yu head-on, but instead pretends to be invincible, giving Guan Yu the illusion that he can break through Fancheng and march into the Central Plains."
However, Guan Yu is brave, just in case, he should also send a helper, I don't know which general is willing to help General Yu Ban? ”
