Chapter 1716 Breaking Through Wancheng, Cao Wei Is Afraid

Shen Long did not leave Cao Zhen a chance to breathe. As soon as the moat was filled, he immediately commanded the army to launch a fierce attack. Equipment such as ladders and carts swarmed up, and attacked Wancheng under the protection of catapults and bed crossbows.

Seeing this, Cao Zhen no longer cared about the threat of the catapult and bed crossbow, and immediately ordered Cao Wei soldiers to go up to the city to defend, and at the same time ordered to prepare rolling logs, stones, kerosene, etc. to deal with the Shu army's charging carts and ladders.

However, before the army reached the range of the Wei army, the bed crossbow suddenly lowered the shooting angle and shot fiercely at the city wall. At the beginning, Cao Zhen was still a little confused. Could it be that Shen Long was dizzy and expected to use it? Did the arrows shoot through the walls of Wancheng? But when he ventured to look under the city wall, he was stunned.

Seeing that when the bed crossbows fired in volley, rows of stepping arrows were firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers could use this to climb up. Only then did Cao Zhen understand Shen Long's purpose, so he hurriedly ordered to use the rolling wooden pole The stone smashed the arrows stuck on the city wall.

However, it was too late. As soon as these soldiers lifted the rolling logs and stones, the bed crossbow quickly turned its target and started shooting at the city. The accuracy of the bed crossbow was much more reliable than that of the trebuchet. Many soldiers of Cao Wei were shot by huge arrows. The rolling wood and rocks just lifted not only did not break the arrows inserted on the city wall, but accidentally injured the lives of many friendly soldiers. In addition to the soldiers who were unfortunately hit by the stone bullets, Wancheng City suddenly wailed.

At this time, the Shu Han army had already arrived at the city. Generals such as Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Guan Suo, Ma Dai, Zhao Guang, Zhao Tong, Deng Ai and others led their troops to attack the city. The battering ram hits the gate of Wancheng, or climbs up the ladder to the top of the city, and those who are brave in martial arts just climb up the arrows inserted in the wall.

In the past, soldiers defending the city only needed to pay attention to the ladders, etc., but now, there are soldiers climbing up everywhere on the city wall. With the huge threat, Wei Jun suddenly fell into panic, even if Cao Zhen even beheaded several people, he could not recover.

Zhao Tong was the first to kill the top of the city, and then he protected the passage behind him, waving his sword to block the soldiers of Cao Wei. Grabbing a spear and waving it, several Cao Wei soldiers fell under his spear immediately.

Then Ma Dai rushed to the top of the wall not to be reconciled, and Xu Huang rushed to meet him. The two of them fought together. However, Deng Ai soon climbed to the top of the city again, blocking this side but not the other side. Seeing that there were more and more Shu troops at the top of the city.

The defenders under the city acted accordingly and quickly filed in from several breakthroughs, gradually occupying a small section of the city wall, while Cao Wei soldiers also continued to go up the city to reinforce along the steps, and the two sides started a bloody battle at the top of the city.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the trebuchet moved forward a lot, focusing on attacking the rear of the Wei army, but the Jinglan was not disturbed by this, they could still accurately attack the Wei army at the top of the city, and those crossbows standing above the Jinglan The hand can also be condescending and shoot at the defenders at the top of the city, causing huge damage to the Wei army.

"Great governor, we can't defend the city anymore, let's retreat!" Guo Huai killed Cao Zhen with blood all over his body, "For the present plan, we should save our troops. Surrounded, let's leave the city early!"

"Your Majesty regards me as the governor, in charge of the military affairs of Runan and Nanyang. There are many soldiers in the city, and there is such a strong city.

I have only guarded for ten months, and I am about to be captured by Shen Long's strong attack, so what face is there to see His Majesty! "Cao Zhen's eyes were red, his teeth were chattering, obviously extremely angry and ashamed.

"Governor, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Even if Wancheng is lost, it is not inevitable. Gather up your troops and withdraw in time, and it will not be too late to seek revenge!" At that time, he shouted urgently, "Governor, for the sake of the 100,000 soldiers in the city, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

After all, Cao Zhen is a veteran general who has fought for a long time, and it is not that he has never failed before. He finally came to his senses amid Guo Huai's shouts. Beimen fled out of the city, and before leaving, he did not forget to set a fire on the granary in the city, so that the grain would not be cheap to the Shu Han.

However, I don’t know whether it was a coincidence that the fate was in Han Dynasty. They had just left the city, and the weather suddenly changed. It started to rain, and the rain became heavier and heavier. The fire made Cao Zhen's hard work just now useless.

Cao Zhen could only pray that the heavy rain would last longer, so that the grain and grass in the city would be moldy and spoiled, and it could also destroy the roads and slow down the speed of the Shu Han army going north; unfortunately, just as he had this idea, the pouring rain stopped just like that. It was as if the heavy rain had come specifically to put out the fire.

"Pfft!" Cao Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood immediately, "The fate is not with me, the fate is not with me!" Immediately after fainting, Xu Huang, Guo Huai and other generals also had serious faces, muttering in their hearts, could it be that the fate is really not on Cao Wei's side? ? In the past, an east wind in Chibi shattered Cao Cao's hegemony, and now there is such a strange heavy rain in Wancheng, is there really hope for the Han Dynasty? Can Liu Bei follow the example of Guangwu and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty?

In the big camp outside the city, Shen Long chuckled and wanted to set fire to the food? Did you ask me? As long as I'm here, unless you flood the granary with gasoline first, you won't be able to burn it out; now the fire was extinguished by heavy rain as soon as it started, and Cao Pi recruited hundreds of thousands of people to work hard to transport it to Wanwan The food and grass prepared for the Wei army to defend the city for a long time made Shen Long cheaper.

"Pass down the order, don't chase the enemy, and keep the food and grass first." Shen Long ordered, the heavy rain still had some impact on the food and grass, and we should pick out the food and grass that were wet by the rain in time. Let it dry in the air, so as not to affect more grain and grass.

As for Cao Zhen, he must have been completely terrified by this battle, and there is nothing to worry about in the future.

The news of the fall of Wancheng soon spread to Luoyang. Cao Wei was shocked. The walls of Wancheng were high and thick, and there were 100,000 troops in the city. How could the city fall so quickly?
